From 'People' to 'Citizen' Democracy’s Must Take Road

From 'People' to 'Citizen' Democracy’s Must Take Road

From ‘People’ to ‘Citizen’ brings together social theory with policy practice to enlarge our understanding of the difference that democracy makes to the life of a nation. Unlike nationalism democracy takes our attention away from the past to the future by focusing on the specific concerns of ‘citizenship’. Historical victories or defeats blood and soil are now nowhere as relevant as the creation of a foundational base where individuals have equal and quality access to health education and even urban services. The primary consideration therefore is on empowering ‘citizens’ as a common category and not ‘people’ of any specific community or class. When citizens precede all other considerations the notion of the ‘public’ too gets its fullest expression. Differences between citizens are not denied in fact encouraged but only after achieving a basic unity first. This book argues that the call of citizenship not only advances democracy but social science as well.

Victoria and Albert at Home

Victoria and Albert at Home

First Published in 1980 Victoria and Albert at Home describes the sitting construction and decorating of the two royal residences at Osborne and Balmoral and paints a memorable portrait of the Queen’s family and her Court beside the Solent and the Dee. At the time of their marriage the royal couple had the use of many crown properties but except for Windsor Castle they found none to their taste and began to look for a home of their own. Sir Robert Peel found them an estate on the Isle of Wight which was peaceful beautiful and at that time sufficiently remote from London. However when access from London became swifter and easier their privacy was lost and they looked elsewhere for a second private family residence. A small estate in Scotland was recommended and Prince Albert once again designed the house this time in Scottish baronial style. Drawing on memories archives and family papers some of which with a number of illustrations have never been published before Tyler Whittle has written an interesting entertaining and vivid account of life at a time so very much more elegant and yet at the same time so very much robust than anything that can be imagined today. This is a must read for students and scholars of British history and Royal history.

Home Beyond the House Transformation of Life Place and Tradition in Rural China

Home Beyond the House Transformation of Life Place and Tradition in Rural China

Based on extended fieldwork conducted between 2007 and 2019 this book aims to answer a simple question: What is the meaning of home for people living in vernacular settlements in rural China? This question is particularly potent since rural China has experienced rapid and fundamental changes in the twenty-first century under the influences of national policies such as Building a New Socialist Countryside enacted in 2006 and Rural Revitalization announced in 2018. Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork building surveys archival research and over 600 photographs taken by residents along with their life stories this book uncovers the meanings of home from rural residents’ perspectives who belong to a social group that is underrepresented in scholarship and underserved in modern China. In other words this study empowers rural residents by giving them voice. This book links the concepts of place home and tradition into an overarching argument: The meaning of home rests on the ideas of tradition including identity consanguinity collectivity social relations land ownership and rural lifestyle.

Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

The social processes which underpin and shape our lives have the power to significantly transform the trajectories of people experiencing recovery from addiction and desistance from crime. Recovery from addiction and desistance from crime are processes which are often experienced and supported in the same physical spaces and are also frequently experienced by the same people. This book therefore synthesises and presents research on the social influences of recovery and desistance. This book presents the social component model of recovery from addiction and desistance from crime: a strength-based approach presenting case studies to better understand the social factors of both recovery from addiction and desistance from crime and therefore a step towards enhancing evidence-based policy and practice. The social components that have emerged and will be discussed within this book include relationships and social bonds; social identity group membership and social networks; and social capital. Compiled based on observations interviews and social identity mapping methods this work combines and presents theory and research to enhance and strengthen the evidence available for people who are already teaching about supporting and experiencing both desistance from crime and recovery from addiction in practice. | Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation is a nuanced exploration of the embodied and affective practices of Moroccans from Europe visiting Morocco for summer vacation. Rather than characterizing them as uncomfortably split between homelands this book focuses on how their touristic leisure practices create their own space of diasporic belonging. An expert on Moroccan diaspora communities and mobile lifestyles the book draws on multi-sited and mobile ethnographic research to take the reader along on the journey ‘home’ and experience the daily lives of diasporic visitors. Their practices activities and encounters on vacation offer insights into larger issues of class leisure consumption and transnational belonging in South-to-North migration contexts. Concretely the book shows how these holiday encounters simultaneously generate integration into Morocco for migrant descendants who can feel at ‘home’ in this homeland and differentiation from others in how they embody ‘Moroccaness’ as social and material actors. This book shows how seemingly frivolous practices of leisure have material consequences for individuals who belong across homelands. Positioned at the intersection of migration studies leisure and tourism mobilities and ethnomethodology and practice theory this book is a worthwhile read for scholars and students—indeed anyone questioning or experiencing problems of belonging in transnational and diasporic contexts. | Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home- based work has increased in recent decades and intensified as a result of policies created to control the spread of COVID-19 creating a labour market in rapid transition. Yet little attention has been paid to the issues associated with occupational health and safety or to how employers will monitor and maintain employee health and safety in a home- based work environment. Using historical case studies from Victorian Britain this book reflects on the past to examine resurfacing health and safety concerns that shaped and continue to shape the home- based working experience. Anchored by family research case studies this book presents documents and newspaper accounts about the diverse experiences of three real people who lived and worked from their homes in the Victorian era. Supported by academic and popular literature on work and policy about the era the book discusses changing worldviews and social context that shaped occupational health and safety at the time and critiques the outcomes of policies that were challenged to address these risks. The case study experiences are used as a touchstone between the past and present to draw parallels between important health and safety concerns that may be resurfacing in our modern post-COVID transition to home-based work. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers academics and postgraduate students of occupational health and safety occupational science labour history and human resource management as well as Victorian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners working across the fields of workplace and occupational health and safety. | Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

This collection explores the links between multimodality and multilingualism charting the interplay between languages channels and forms of communication in multilingual written texts from historical manuscripts through to the new media of today and the non-verbal associations they evoke. The volume argues that features of written texts such as graphics layout boundary marking and typography are inseparable from verbal content. Taken together the chapters adopt a systematic historical perspective to investigate this interplay over time and highlight the ways in which the two disciplines might further inform one another in the future as new technologies emerge. The first half of the volume considers texts where semiotic resources are the sites of modes where multiple linguistic codes interact on the page and generate extralinguistic associations through visual features and spatial organizaisation. The second half of the book looks at texts where this interface occurs not in the text but rather in the cultural practices involved in social materiality and text transmission. Enhancing our understandings of multimodal resources in both historical and contemporary communication this book will be of interest to scholars in multimodality multilingualism historical communication discourse analysis and cultural studies. Chapters 1 4 and 5 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www. routledge. com.

From Victim to Offender How child sexual abuse victims become offenders

From Victim to Offender How child sexual abuse victims become offenders

Tom was the only adult who gave me the attention and affection that I so badly needed. I loved his caresses and the times he comforted me. I loved talking to him because he was the only adult who listened and understood. Neil's Story From Victim to Offender shows how victims of child sexual abuse become juvenile and adult offenders. The stories told by these offenders reveal the vulnerability of boys to paedophiles and pederasts who provide the male attention lacking in some children's home lives. They show how early sexualisation damages children's sexual development their relationships and their adult lives. The story of a female offender reveals that this problem is not confined to boys. These stories highlight the inadequacy of current child protection programs for the protection of boys. The editor's introduction and the chapter from a psychologist who specialises in the treatment of offenders emphasise the need to improve child protection and treatment programs for offenders. From Victim to Offender offers unique insights into the experiences of victims and offenders of sexual abuse and is essential reading for professionals who are concerned about child protection and those responsible for the rehabilitation of offenders. | From Victim to Offender How child sexual abuse victims become offenders
