Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

This book discusses and explores the relationship between language and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories the role of metaphor in the everyday use of language gender differentiation and social variation in speech. In this study David Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two contrasting views on language. For much of its history linguistics has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages as uniform homogenous systems. However there has always been an opposite view emphasising the complex tensions and cross-currents inherent in linguistic usage. This alternative perspective is explored in the analysis of a wide range of literary and non-literary texts: casual conversations interviews newspaper reports official memoranda television commercials and extracts from novels. The author describes how both spoken and written texts can be seen as the sites where tensions between competing discourses stemming from different social positions and perspectives are illustrated. | Competing Discourses Perspective and Ideology in Language

The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

This handbook explores contextualises and critiques the relationship between anthropocentrism – the idea that human beings are socially and politically at the centre of the cosmos – and international law. While the critical study of anthropocentrism has been under way for several years it has either focused on specific subfields of international law or emanated from two distinctive strands inspired by the animal rights movement and deep ecology. This handbook offers a broader study of anthropocentrism in international law as a global legal system and academic field. It assesses the extent to which current international law is anthropocentric contextualises that claim in relation to broader critical theories of anthropocentrism and explores alternative ways for international law to organise relations between humans and other living and non-living entities. This book will interest international lawyers environmental lawyers legal theorists social theorists and those concerned with the philosophy and ethics of ecology and the non-human realms.

The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South

Responding to mounting calls to decenter and decolonize journalism The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South examines not only the deep-seated challenges associated with the historical imposition of Western journalism standards on constituencies of the Global South but also the opportunities presented to journalists and journalism educators if they choose to partake in international collaboration and education.

These questions include: What really is journalism? Who gets to and who is qualified to define it? What role do ethics play? What are the current trends challenges and opportunities for journalism in the Global South? How is news covered reported written and edited in non-Western settings? What can journalism players living and working in industrialized markets learn from their non-Western colleagues and counterparts and vice versa? Contributors challenge accepted universal ethical standards while showing the relevance of customs traditions and cultures in defining and shaping local and regional journalism. Showcasing some of the most important research on journalism in the Global South and by journalists based in the Global South this companion is key reading for anyone researching the principles and practices of journalism from a de-essentialized perspective.

Aviation Design and Innovation

Aviation Design and Innovation

In order to facilitate the safe efficient and cost effective exchange of passengers and cargo between ground and sky airports require the provision of adequate runways aircraft manoeuvring areas cargo sheds and passenger processing facilities. Airports are capital intensive facilities and planning errors which result in the over or under-provision of capacity are both costly and problematic to rectify and so understanding the optimal configuration of passenger terminals is paramount. Of course the design of passenger terminal buildings is influenced not only by levels of demand the commercial requirements of airlines and tenant companies the availability of investment funds and political influence but also by the aircraft that will be using the facility both now and in the future. Indeed the introduction of the first generation of passenger jets in the 1950s and higher-capacity wide-bodied aircraft in the late 1960s required not only the expansion of gate areas and passenger processing facilities but also the introduction of new technologies such as the travelator the baggage reclaim carousel and the airbridge. The introduction of the A380 ‘Super Jumbo’ into revenue passenger service in 2007 similarly demanded a reconfiguration of the airports it serves and practitioners need to be cognisant of the options for accommodating a new generation of large aircraft. While large aircraft generally require a lengthy turn around period between flights and the extensive provision of expensive fixed ground support infrastructure low cost carriers pursue a business model based on very short turnarounds and minimal use of airport infrastructure assets such as airbridges. One of the main challenges facing airport operators is how to accommodate the diverse and dynamic requirements of different operators and these issues are addressed in this Volume. Traditionally aircraft were made and manufactured by small companies within one country but as costs have increased and technology has become more sophisticated a relatively small number of manufacturers which are supported by international supply chains have come to dominate the commercial aircraft market. Originally all aviation jet fuels were derived from crude oil. However concerns about future oil supply and energy security combined with the need to improve aviation’s environmental performance and sustainability has driven the development of alternative fuel sources. However the development and adoption of alternative aviation fuels is not straightforward and the Volume examines the opportunities and challenges of widespread biofuel adoption in terms of production capacity emissions reductions cost and commercial viability. The final essays in this Volume address business model innovation in the airline and airport sector and include considerations of the future evolution of low cost carriers the potential for airline-airport alliances and the development of multi-airport multinational operating companies. | Aviation Design and Innovation

The Routledge International Handbook of Harmful Cultural Practices

The Routledge International Handbook of Harmful Cultural Practices

This handbook looks at cross-cultural work on harmful cultural practices considered gendered forms of abuse of women. These include female genital mutilation (FGM) virginity testing hymenoplasty and genital cosmetic surgery. Bringing together comparative perspectives intersectionality and interdisciplinarity it uses feminist methodology and mixed methods with ethnography of central importance to provide holistic grounded theorizing within a framework of transformative research. Taking female genital mutilation a topical contested practice and making it a heuristic reference for related procedures makes the case for global action based on understanding the complexity of harmful cultural practices that are contextually differentiated and experienced in intersectional ways. But because this phenomenon is enshrouded in matters of sensitivity and prejudice narratives of suffering are muted and even suppressed are dismissed as indigenous ritual or become ammunition for racist organizing. Such conflicted and often opaque debates obstruct clear vision of the scale of both problem and solution. Divided into six parts: • Discourses and Epistemological Fault Lines• FGM and Related Patriarchal Inscriptions • Gender and Genitalia • Female Bodies and Body Politics: Economics Law Medicine Public Health and Human Rights • Placing Engagement Innovation Impact Care • Words and Texts to Shatter Silence Comprised of 24 newly written chapters from experts around the world this book will be of interest to scholars and students of nursing social work and allied health more broadly as well as sociology gender studies and postcolonial studies. | The Routledge International Handbook of Harmful Cultural Practices
