Open Borders Unlocked Cultures Romanian Roma Migrants in Western Europe

Open Borders Unlocked Cultures Romanian Roma Migrants in Western Europe

The book examines some of the dilemmas surrounding Europe’s open borders migrations and identities through the prism of the Roma – Europe’s most dispersed and socially marginalised population. The volume challenges some of the myths surrounding the Roma as a ‘problem population’ and places the focus instead on the context of European policy and identity debates. It comes to the conclusion that the migration of Roma and the constitution of their communities is shaped by European policy as much as and often more so than by the cultural traits of the Roma themselves. The chapters compare case studies of Roma migrants in Spain Italy France and Britain and the impact of migration on the origin communities in Romania. The study combines historical and ethnographic methods with insights from migration studies drawing on a unique multi-site collaborative project that for the first time gave Roma participants a voice in shaping research into their communities.

Airport Baggage Handling Systems Using the Baggage Factory Approach to Support AI Optimisation Decisions and Design Processes

Airport Baggage Handling Systems Using the Baggage Factory Approach to Support AI Optimisation Decisions and Design Processes

The competition between airports demands higher-quality services to satisfy passengers. A Baggage Handling System (BHS) serves functions such as baggage sorting screening and storage. A successful BHS means bags move between areas as travellers do. Handlers load/unload bags and transfer them between the airport's areas. Automation can save money and bring safety and operational benefits. Warehouses as well as the automotive industry are more advanced technologically in comparison to the airport and especially the baggage handling business. The concept of the Baggage Factory (BF) is an approach (based on Industry 4. 0) that simplifies the processes from the moment passengers drop off their bags at check-in till the destination (chutes carousels and so forth). Airport Baggage Handling Systems: Using the Baggage Factory Approach to Support AI Optimisation Decisions and Design Processes introduces the features of the BF concept and presents how BHS designers can use AI technology to tackle many BHS problems and concerns. The book bridges the gap between airport BHS designers and experts in AI and optimisation. It describes in detail the field of baggage handling using algorithms for sorting bags or optimising the flow. The way the systems are designed is discussed and a behind-the-scenes look at the BHS industry and how it affects the daily lives of travellers is presented. International and multidisciplinary in approach this book is an ideal resource for practitioners students and researchers involved in the air transportation industry Tourism Systems Engineering Layout and Design Artificial Intelligence Assembly Automation and Logistics fields. | Airport Baggage Handling Systems Using the Baggage Factory Approach to Support AI Optimisation Decisions and Design Processes

DeWitt delves into these questions in an introductory bibliographic essay and selects twenty-one articles published between 1974 and 2010 that have advanced our knowledge and insight about this topic. The collection focuses on the nexus between popular musics in North America and Europe and the traditional musics that have been their foundation on both the real and imagined connections between the present and past: Olly Wilson and Gerhard Kubik on African American music Aaron Fox on country music Eric Lott on blackface minstrelsy Barry Shank on the elusive Bob Dylan. Works by Sara Cohen Beverley Diamond Peter Manuel Svanibor Pettan and others range on subjects from the accordion balladry and blues to Bulgarian folk orchestras flamenco gospel Irish sessions Native American women musicians the Roma Tex-Mex music and zydeco.

Nationalism and the Body Politic

Nationalism and the Body Politic

This volume aims to question the recent revival of neo-nationalist policies in the light of what unconscious fantasies are involved in these developments. It examines both recent movements of right-wing extremism and the way in which rearticulated neo-ethnic ideas have been adopted by mainstream politicians and in mainstream public discourse. Politicians from other than the right-wing populist parties have tended to resist specific ways of talking that are considered too extremist rather than their underlying frame of interpretation. Governments across Europe have adopted anti-immigrant and anti-Roma policies. Xenophobia and hostility towards 'others' is on the rise along with appeals to Tradition and Security. 'Cultures of fear' are linked with fantasies of fusion or 'imagined sameness'. Alongside the image of the nation as a mother and/or father Reich (1933) called attention to the fantasy of the nation as a body echoed in Money-Kyrle's (1939) characterization of 'group hypochondria' in connection with the burning of witches and heretics. | Nationalism and the Body Politic

Uneven Citizenship: Minorities and Migrants in the Post-Yugoslav Space

Uneven Citizenship: Minorities and Migrants in the Post-Yugoslav Space

This book focuses on the relations between citizenship and various manifestations of diversity including but not exclusively ethnicity. Contributors address migrants and minorities in a novel and original way by adding the concept of ‘uneven citizenship’ to the debate surrounding the former Yugoslavian states. Referring to this ‘uneven citizenship’ concept this book not only engages with exclusionary legal political and social practices but also looks at other unanticipated or unaccounted for results of citizenship policies. Individual chapters address statuses rights and duties of refugees internally displaced persons (IDPs) returnees Roma and ‘claimed co-ethnics’ as well as various interactions between dominant and non-dominant groups in the post-Yugoslav space. The particular focus is on ‘migrants and minorities’ as these are frequently overlapping categories in the post-Yugoslav context and indeed more generally. Not only is policy framework addressed but also public understanding and the socio-historical developments which created legally and culturally stratified transnationally marginalized desired and claimed co-ethnics and those less wanted often on the margins of citizenship. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics. | Uneven Citizenship: Minorities and Migrants in the Post-Yugoslav Space

History and Psychoanalysis in the Columbus Centre The Meaning of Evil

History and Psychoanalysis in the Columbus Centre The Meaning of Evil

This book draws on a range of key archives and oral testimonies to provide the first systematic and historical study of the origins context development frustrations inner contradictions and legacies of the Columbus Centre. The Columbus Centre a remarkable though largely forgotten research institute was established at the University of Sussex in 1966 triggered by claims of a dearth of academic research about Nazism and the Holocaust. Its basic stated aim was to bring together psychoanalysis and history for a scholarly investigation of discrimination mass violence and the preconditions of genocide in the past and the present. The Nazi crimes were studied along with other instances of prejudice and mass violence such as sixteenth- and seventeenth-century witch-hunts South African apartheid the persecution of the Roma people and race relations in the United States and modern-day Britain. The book seeks to place the Columbus Centre in the historiography of mass violence by analysing the Centre’s works through four historiographical prisms or power relations in which they were produced: psychoanalysis class race and gender. This interdisciplinary volume is a valuable text for scholars and students of historiography psychoanalysis genocide and violence and postwar Europe and for professionals within the field of psychology. | History and Psychoanalysis in the Columbus Centre The Meaning of Evil

From Silence to Protest International Perspectives on Weakly Resourced Groups

From Silence to Protest International Perspectives on Weakly Resourced Groups

The editors of this book examine social movement scholars’ use of contemporary concepts and paradigms in the study of protest as they analyse the extent to which these tools are valid (or not) in very different regional - and thus political or cultural - contexts. The authors posit that ’weakly resourced groups’ are a particularly useful point of departure to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of three key social movement schools of analysis: resource mobilization political opportunity structures and frame analysis. Some of the groups considered in this volume are financially disadvantaged lacking money and work; others are economically disadvantaged with members having precarious part-time or short-term jobs; some are socially disadvantaged with fragile networks of solidarity; others are culturally disadvantaged with members continuously victimized stigmatized and rejected; finally some are politically disadvantaged when they have little or no access to decision-making structures. These exclusionary factors can be cumulative and give way to different outcomes. The chapters cover a large range of examples including urban riots in France and in Great Britain the World Social Forums of Dakar and Nairobi the struggles of precarious workers in Italy and Greece unemployed mobilization in Germany and Ireland the mobilization of the Roma and Muslims in Europe the Brazilian landless movement the mobilization of small farmers in France as well as mobilization in authoritarian states such as Morocco and Cuba. This book will be of interest to scholars students and activists working within social movement studies. | From Silence to Protest International Perspectives on Weakly Resourced Groups

Intergovernmental Relations State and Local Challenges in the Twenty-First Century

Intergovernmental Relations State and Local Challenges in the Twenty-First Century

Who governs? On the surface such a question should be easy to answer by simply reading the law. Taking a deeper examination it is one of the most hotly contested questions often without a clear-cut answer. With recent controversies in the United States related to confederate monuments transgender rights and unconventional oil and gas development for example the answer is: it depends and is subject to change. Intergovernmental Relations: State and Local Challenges in the Twenty-First Century examines the sources behind state-local conflict to better understand where this critical intergovernmental relationship may be breaking down and to ultimately identify solutions and policy tools that build upon the strengths of state and local governments mitigate conflicts and improve the quality of life for citizens. Author Jonathan M. Fisk begins by defining the basic institutional structures and offices and addressing the intergovernmental legal environment. He then offers a framework for understanding possible sources behind state-local conflict with a recognition that intergovernmental relationships have historical roots are place-based and dependent on context before examining concrete issues that have become ensnared in intergovernmental conflict via case studies including environmental (plastic bags climate change) social and constitutional (confederate statues transgender bathrooms) and economic (living wage affordable housing) to name a few. Each case study possesses its own history intergovernmental actors costs benefits opportunities and challenges. Readers are asked to confront difficult questions about property and constitutional rights intergenerational equity economic growth wage fairness and local democracy. This book offers an ideal supplement for students enrolled in courses on public policy federalism state and local government and public administration. | Intergovernmental Relations State and Local Challenges in the Twenty-First Century
