The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination communication and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models and their ownership placement and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging well-known and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites of knowledge construction: drawing office construction site; the afterlife of drawings and models: archiving collecting displaying and exhibiting; tools of making: architectural representations and their apparatus over time; and the ethical responsibilities of collecting and archiving: authorship ownership copyrights and rights to copy. The research covers a wide range of geographies and delves into the practices of such architects as Sir John Soane Superstudio Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc Frank Lloyd Wright Wajiro Kon Germán Samper Gnecco A+PS Mies van der Rohe and Renzo Piano. | The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

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

The Routledge Handbook of Digital Literacies in Early Childhood

The Routledge Handbook of Digital Literacies in Early Childhood

As fast-evolving technologies transform everyday communication and literacy practices many young children find themselves immersed in multiple digital media from birth. Such rapid technological change has consequences for the development of early literacy and the ways in which parents and educators are able to equip today’s young citizens for a digital future. This seminal Handbook fulfils an urgent need to consider how digital technologies are impacting the lives and learning of young children; and how childhood experiences of using digital resources can serve as the foundation for present and future development. Considering children aged 0–8 years chapters explore the diversity of young children’s literacy skills practices and expertise across digital tools technologies and media in varied contexts settings and countries. The Handbook explores six significant areas: Part I presents an overview of research into young children’s digital literacy practices touching on a range of theoretical methodological and ethical approaches. Part II considers young children’s reading writing and meaning-making when using digital media at home and in the wider community. Part III offers an overview of key challenges for early childhood education presented by digital literacy and discusses political positioning and curricula. Part IV focuses on the multimodal and multi-sensory textual landscape of contemporary literary practices and how children learn to read and write with and across media. Part V considers how digital technologies both influence and are influenced by children’s online and offline social relationships. Part VI draws together themes from across the Handbook to propose an agenda for future research into digital literacies in early childhood. A timely resource identifying and exploring pedagogies designed to bolster young children’s digital and multimodal literacy practices this key text will be of interest to early childhood educators researchers and policy-makers. | The Routledge Handbook of Digital Literacies in Early Childhood
