Bauhaus Effects in Art Architecture and Design

Bauhaus Effects in Art Architecture and Design

Contributors go further to chart the surprising relation of the school to contemporary developments in hairstyling and shop window display in unprecedented detail.

Rogues Rebels And Rubber Stamps The Politics Of The Chicago City Council 1863 To The Present

Rogues Rebels And Rubber Stamps The Politics Of The Chicago City Council 1863 To The Present

In Rogues Rebels and Rubber Stamps Dick Simpson challenges and recasts current theories of Regime Politics as he chronicles the dramatic story of the civic wars in the Chicago City Council since the civil war. At the same time the author provides a window into the broader struggle for democracy and justice. Simpson points out that through analyzing city council floor fights battles at the ballot box and street demonstrations one can begin to see certain patterns of conflict emerge. These patterns demonstrate that before the Great Depression fragmented city councils were dominant. The author also discusses how since the Democrats seized control of Chicago government after the Great Depression Rubber Stamp City Councils have been predominant although they have been punctuated by brief eras of council wars and chaos. This book is important for anyone wanting to understand the nature of these battles as a guideline for America's future and is well suited for courses in urban politics affairs and history. Rogues Rebels and Rubber Stamps received an Honorable Mention for the 2001 Society of Midland Authors Book Award for Adult Non-Fiction. | Rogues Rebels And Rubber Stamps The Politics Of The Chicago City Council 1863 To The Present

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The subject of this book is accurately defined by its subtitle. Music in a New Found Land does not pretend to be a comprehensive history of American music. Nor does Mellers strive to catalog what he considers to be authentic American music. Instead he deals in some detail with comparatively few composers most of whom have wellestablished reputations. It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme involves the relationship between art music jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artifi cial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art it has also produced Gershwin Ellington and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This book contains a large number of quotations from American writers because Mellers thought American sensibility should parallel reinforce and comment on American music. In sum this is the closest available one-volume history of American music and a window into American culture. | Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Alan Watts in Late-Twentieth-Century Discourse Commentary and Criticism from 1974 to 1994

Alan Watts in Late-Twentieth-Century Discourse Commentary and Criticism from 1974 to 1994

This book is an anthology of commentary and criticism written within the transitional period between Alan Watts’ 1973 death and the twenty-first century intellectual horizon. Comprised of 16 chapters written and published between 1974 and 1994 with up-to-date introductions from the essayists and other contemporary thinkers this volume opens a window onto unexplored grounds of Alan Watts’ impact within late-twentieth-century discourse – an intermediate space where scholars reoriented their bearings through changing times and emerging academic trends. Offering varied explanations and assessments of Alan Watts including his influence on the Beat and Hippie generations and his popularization of Zen Buddhism in America it tackles unaddressed questions within the milieu of late-twentieth-century America from the Reagan Revolution and religious conservatism to paradigm shifts in Buddhist studies and the rise of post-colonial theory. Contributors’ post-mortem analyses and critiques of Watts allow for a thematic rendering of their consonance or dissonance with noted Beat Hippie and Zen Buddhism themes of his lifetime. This volume will appeal to scholars and students of humanistic psychology transpersonal psychology the psychology of religion comparative religion and American studies. | Alan Watts in Late-Twentieth-Century Discourse Commentary and Criticism from 1974 to 1994

Nur Baba A Sufi Novel of Late Ottoman Istanbul

Nur Baba A Sufi Novel of Late Ottoman Istanbul

This first-ever English translation of Nur Baba – a classic of modern Turkish literature written by Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu – offers a unique window into Sufi lodges social dilemmas and intellectual life in early twentieth-century Istanbul. Inspired by Karaosmanoğlu’s personal experiences with Islamic mystical orders it is a story of illicit romance and spiritual inquiry depicting a colourful lodge of Sufi dervishes led by a charismatic yet morally suspect spiritual master named Nur Baba. The plot follows his attempts to seduce an attractive married woman from an elite family and recounts her dramatic experiences in the life of a Sufi community. The setting shuttles between the grand mansions of Istanbul’s elite families and a Sufi lodge where rich and poor intermingle. Exploring questions of gender morality and religious bias throughout it captures the zeitgeist of early twentieth-century modernist thinkers who criticised Sufism for impeding social progress and debated the public roles of women in a rapidly modernising society. Alongside the editor’s meticulous translation the volume includes a scholarly introduction maps and images as well as explanatory footnotes that will aid both students and scholars alike. The novel will be of particular interest to those studying world literature Sufi studies and Ottoman-Turkish history. | Nur Baba A Sufi Novel of Late Ottoman Istanbul

Inside the Black Box of ‘White Backlash’ researches the contents of the letters of support sent to British politician Enoch Powell in the wake of his so-called ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech of April 20 1968. Never has a politician received so much written support in so short a time.

Religious Identifications in Late Antique Papyri 3rd—12th Century Egypt

Religious Identifications in Late Antique Papyri 3rd—12th Century Egypt

This volume provides novel social-scientific and historical approaches to religious identifications in late antique (3rd–12th century) Egyptian papyri bridging the gap between two academic fields that have been infrequently in full conversation: papyrology and the study of religion. Through eleven in-depth case studies of Christian Islamic “pagan ” Jewish Manichaean and Hermetic texts and objects this book offers new interpretations on markers of religious identity in papyrus documents written in Coptic Greek Hebrew Aramaic and Arabic. Using papyri as a window into the lives of ordinary believers it explores their religious behavior and choices in everyday life. Three valuable perspectives are outlined and explored in these documents: a critical reflection on the concept of identity and the role of religious groups a situational reading of religious repertoire and symbols and a focus on speech acts as performative and efficacious utterances. Religious Identifications in Late Antique Papyri offers a wide scope and comparative approach to this topic suitable for students and scholars of late antiquity and Egypt as well as those interested in late antique religion.

Activism and the Policy Process

Activism and the Policy Process

Activists - protecting rainforests demanding increased childcare developing local community housing campaigning for AIDS funding or protecting consumers - are as much part of the political landscape as the media parliament peak industry groups political parties or trade unions. This collection explores the idea of policy activism and its relationship to the processes that not only set but implement and deliver the policy agenda. Policy activists operate both inside and outside government. They include community-based organisers activist bureaucrats service providers and professionals. Policy activism has been barely explored in existing literature. This collection puts the idea on the map. It is an innovative contribution to the literature using case studies across a broad range of policy areas. 'This volume opens the window on an aspect of the policy process that rarely receives attention from students of politics or policy anywhere across the globe. The framework presented and the cases included in these pages provide a glimpse of the workings of a complex democracy describing a range of actors responding creatively to the dynamics of social political and economic change. It is fascinating to see how policy functions and social values appear to be more important to these processes than the formal structures of the government in which they are placed. ' - Beryl A.

Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Much has been written about the impact of gender and sexual orientation on the intersubjective field. Yet remarkably little has been written about the unique dilemmas faced by gay clinicians who treat patients of different genders and sexual orientations. Given the particularities of growing up gay in our culture issues of secrecy shame alienation difference and internalized homophobia necessarily enter into any gay therapist's developmental history. These factors have a shaping impact on the gay analyst's sensibility on the way he learns to listen to his patients. In Notes from the Margins Eric Sherman courageously reveals a wide range of subjective reactions to eight different patients. In detailed clinical vignettes that highlight his thoughts feelings personal history and countertransference struggles he conveys the experiential immediacy of working as an analyst-and more specifically as a gay analyst. Although Sherman is not the first author to write thoughtfully about working in the countertransference he is among the very few to portray analytic work particularly in the working through of enactments as an often untidy affair marked not only by success but also by the blind spots and insecurities that contribute to failure. Notes from the Margins is not only an illuminating overview of the special challenges faced by gay and lesbian analysts but a window to grasping the messy realities intrinsic to the psychotherapeutic process. | Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization Liquid Guanxi

Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization Liquid Guanxi

Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization investigates the impact of digital media on the traditional Chinese model of social interaction trust-building and social capital known as guanxi. Guanxi is a system of cultural and psychological rules of networking that orders every interaction in China from the labor market to politics to business and even law. It is the lifeblood of the nation and nearly just as old. But how has guanxi kept pace with the modern rapids of digitalization? This book is the first to examine how the rise of social networking sites is transforming guanxi in everyday networking in China home to the largest population of users worldwide and nearly universal adoption in the nation. This monograph argues that digitalization is making guanxi liquid: that social and geographical boundaries are being melted away – and with it people are experiencing a newfound liberation in how they network trust and feel toward others. Au asserts that Chinese modernity itself is transforming into what it calls a digital agora a new intermediary space between the public and private spheres that balances obligations to both realms. The book offers researchers and students a window into how digitalization is changing how people in guanxi fundamentally think about who to trust how to interact and compose themselves and what it takes to socially survive in a rapidly advancing age of digitalization. | Chinese Social Networks in an Age of Digitalization Liquid Guanxi

John McGahern Ways of Looking

John McGahern Ways of Looking

John McGahern (1934–2006) believed that fiction could act as a window on the world. Such windows however frame our fields of vision alter and shape our perspectives. Far from being static the artist’s perspective must continually evolve. This book provides a literary analysis of John McGahern’s artistic and poetic vision – his ‘ways of looking’ examining the shifting focus of this vision: how and why it develops what effects such developments have on the work’s forms and how these forms evolve at what times and in response to what stimuli. This volume demonstrates that such developments mirror an analogous social expansion during the latter half of the twentieth century and argues that McGahern’s literary spaces relate to his efforts to realise a more accommodating form to envelop the structureless society. While the number of critical studies on McGahern has increased markedly in recent years research still tends to fall into the well-established camps of social realism or literary aestheticism. This text aims to explore the common ground between the material context and social worlds of each work and the hermeneutics of a ‘traditional’ literary investigation. It traverses such divides through close readings of McGahern’s work with attention to the topopoetical production of images of the house the home and the family unit. The book ultimately shows how attention to McGahern’s literary spaces provides a greater understanding of the aesthetic vision and form of each novel and allows us to understand those aspects relative to the social cultural and political undercurrents of the works individually and collectively. | John McGahern Ways of Looking

Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

One dusty summer day in 1935 a young writer named Gennady Andreev-Khomiakov was released from the Siberian labor camp where he had spent the last eight years of his life. His total assets amounted to 25 rubles a loaf of bread five dried herrings and the papers identifying him as a convicted ?enemy of the people. ? From this hard-pressed beginning Andreev-Khomiakov would eventually work his way into a series of jobs that would allow him to travel and see more of ordinary life and work in the Soviet Union of the 1930s than most of his fellow Soviet citizens would ever have dreamed possible. Capitalizing on this rare opportunity Bitter Waters is Andreev-Khomiakov's eyewitness account of those tumultuous years a time when titanic forces were shaping the course of Russian history. Later to become a successful writer and editor in the Russiangr ommunity in the 1950s and 1960s Andreev-Khomiakov brilliantly uses this memoir to explore many aspects of Stalinist society. Forced collectivization Five Year Plans purges and the questionable achievements of ?shock worker brigades? are only part of this story. Andreev-Khomiakov exposes the Soviet economy as little more than a web of corruption a system that largely functioned through bribery barter and brute force?and that fell into temporary chaos when the German army suddenly invaded in 1941. Bitter Waters may be most valuable for what it reveals about Russian society during the tumultuous 1930s. From remote provincial centers and rural areas to the best and worst of Moscow and Leningrad Andreev-Khomiakov's series of deftly drawn sketches of people places and events provide a unique window on the hard daily lives of the people who built Stalin's Soviet Union. | Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46 illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years immediately prior to during and after World War Two. This will not only deepen insight of the American Empire but also grants the opportunity to tie Philippine political-cultural change to the global history of urban planning’s advancement. Accordingly it opens a new window to rethink Filipino ethno-history and societal evolution alongside the opportunity to compare the Philippines with other nations that undertook planning projects as part of their decolonisation process and early-postcolonial advancement. The book utilises theoretical frames in order to help creatively excavate the era 1935–46 for the purpose of not just revealing what public works occurred but to also uncover what those projects meant to the Commonwealth Government the BPW’s staff and the public who benefitted from public works projects. The book will be relevant to students and researchers of Urban History Asian and American (Empire) History and Imperial and Colonial Studies. Architects planners and members of the public who are interested in the form and meaning of urban environments designed/constructed in the past will also find the publication to be of great interest. | Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Preventing Nuclear War The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

Preventing Nuclear War The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

Preventing Nuclear War: The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons provides a window into the work of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) health professionals advocates and activists as they persuaded diplomats parliamentarians the media and the public to ban nuclear weapons. Why are doctors speaking out about nuclear weapons and nuclear war an issue that seems to be the exclusive province of diplomats politicians and security experts? This volume offers an answer in the unique perspective of health professionals on the nature of nuclear weapons their medical and humanitarian consequences and the responsibility to prevent what cannot be treated. On 7 July 2017 the UN successfully concluded negotiations on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The ban treaty emerged from a humanitarian initiative that shifted the focus away from deterrence-based rationales used by the nuclear-armed states and toward an evidence-based understanding of the existential threat nuclear weapons pose to humanity. Since 1980 IPPNW has been the leading medical organization primarily dedicated to the abolition of nuclear weapons. With its civil society partners in ICAN—the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons—IPPNW brought the scientific evidence about nuclear weapons and nuclear war into the treaty negotiations and into the language of the TPNW itself. The contributors to this volume show the dedication and diverse strategies that have together made up a unified and very significant contribution to ridding the world of nuclear weapons. Reflecting honestly on what has been learnt and have the potential to contribute to wider learning outside the anti-nuclear community Preventing Nuclear War: The Medical and Humanitarian Case for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will be of great use to medical and health professionals humanitarian professionals and anyone wanting to work towards a more peaceful and equitable world.
