The Stranger

The Stranger

This book explores the concept of the stranger as a ‘modern’ social form identifying the differing conceptions of strangerhood presented in the literature since the publication of Georg Simmel’s influential essay ‘The Stranger’ questioning the assumptions around what it means to be regarded as ‘strange’ and identifying the consequences of being labelled a stranger. Organised both chronologically and thematically the book begins with Simmel’s major essays on the stranger and culminates with an analysis of Zygmunt Bauman’s thought on the subject with each chapter introducing an idea or key theme initially discussed by Simmel before exploring the development of the theme in the work of others including Schütz Derrida and Levinas. The stranger is an enduring concept across many disciplines and is central to contemporary debates about refugees asylum the nature of inclusion and exclusion and the struggle for recognition. As such this book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences.

Theology and Civil Society

Theology and Civil Society

From food banks to migrant welcome committees and community organisers to internet based campaigners civil society is central to the North Atlantic social landscape. Theology and Civil Society advances our understanding of what civil society is and offers a theologically informed re-imagining of our shared social life. Prefaced by a foreword by the Rev. Dr Rowan Williams this book explores contemporary manifestations of the kind of collective action observed in civil society since the 1800s. It then examines civil society as the sum of modern associations which mediate our relationships to the market and the state but which cannot be identified fully with either the market or the state. Finally three different perspectives on civil society are presented using insights from theologians such as John Milbank and Georg Hegel. This is a pertinent topic for contemporary society and it is explored expertly here by an international panel of contributors. As such it is an important volume for any scholar of Theology and Religious Studies and their interactions with Sociology and Politics.

Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

This book studies Wallace Stevens and pre-Socratic philosophy showing how concepts that animate Stevens’ poetry parallel concepts and techniques found in the poetic works of Parmenides Empedocles and Xenophanes and in the fragments of Heraclitus. Tompsett traces the transition of pre-Socratic ideas into poetry and philosophy of the post-Kantian period assessing the impact that the mythologies associated with pre-Socratism have had on structures of metaphysical thought that are still found in poetry and philosophy today. This transition is treated as becoming increasingly important as poetic and philosophic forms have progressively taken on the existential burden of our post-theological age. Tompsett argues that Stevens’ poetry attempts to ‘play’ its audience into an ontological ground in an effort to show that his ‘reduction of metaphysics’ is not dry philosophical imposition but is enacted by our encounter with the poems themselves. Through an analysis of the language and form of Stevens’ poems Tompsett uncovers the mythology his poetry shares with certain pre-Socratics and with Greek tragedy. This shows how such mythic rhythms are apparent within the work of Friedrich Nietzsche Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer and how these rhythms release a poetic understanding of the violence of a ‘reduction of metaphysics. ’ | Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

This volume analyses Virginia Woolf’s novels through a philosophical lens providing an interpretive overview of her works through Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic ontology. The text argues that interpretation itself is the central subject matter of Woolf’s novels: in order to understand these novels in all of their complexity and depth it is both useful and helpful to comprehend the interpretive pillars that inform these narratives. Indeed interpretation became a central theme during the Modernist movement and Woolf’s novels took part in this conversation. For his part Gadamer was in important voice in these discussions dedicating his life’s work to the concept of interpretation. Gadamer focused on the universality of interpretation arguing that it is inescapable and irrevocably bound up with existence. In many ways Woolf’s novels represent an enactment of Gadamer’s philosophy as they emphasize the radical questionability of the world—what this interpretive imperative requires of its participants and the potential yield that may result. On the other end Gadamer’s philosophy acquires a concrete praxis when applied to Woolf’s novels. His philosophy hinges on the universality of interpretation as it manifests itself in daily existence; the literary text and its interpretation participate in this universality and is shaped by it. | Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

Sociology and Military Studies Classical and Current Foundations

Sociology and Military Studies Classical and Current Foundations

This book examines the connection between sociology and the challenges faced by the modern military. Military sociology has received little attention in the broader academic world and is mostly focused on civil-military relations. This book seeks to address this gap and combines ideas theories and insights from sociology’s founding authors with each chapter focusing on a specific thinker. There are chapters on Max Weber Emile Durkheim Karl Marx Georg Simmel Jane Addams W. E. B. Du Bois Erving Goffman Michel Foucault Morris Janowitz Norbert Elias Cornelis Lammers Arlie Russell Hochschild Cynthia Enloe and Bruno Latour and each essay discusses their ideas and theories in relation to topics that are of concern in and around the military today. Military studies are taken in a broad sense here so the volume encompasses a wide range of issues including civil-military relations military-political affairs performance and outcomes of military operations and organizational arrangements including technology and the composition performance and well-being of personnel. The book intends to provide views and insights that will help the military to innovate their organizations and practices not necessarily in the usual functional way of innovating (i. e. faster more precise etc. ) but in a broader way. This book will be of great interest to students of sociology military studies civil-military relations war and conflict studies and IR in general. | Sociology and Military Studies Classical and Current Foundations

Post-Truth Society A Political Anthropology of Trickster Logic

Post-Truth Society A Political Anthropology of Trickster Logic

It is widely asserted that we are now living in a post-truth society. What that means this book argues is that the contemporary global world is thoroughly infested not only with trickster figures but an entire and operational trickster logic; or that we now live in a Trickster Land – an argument advanced by the claim that in modernity liminality has become permanent; or that modern life is patently absurd. The first part of the book presents a series of ‘guides’ to this condition in the form of key thinkers and writers who can help us understand and navigate our Trickster Land. Such guides include Hermann Broch Lewis Hyde Roberto Calasso Michel Serres Sándor Márai Colin Thubron and Albert Camus. The second part goes on to discuss five main regions of Trickster Land: art thought the economy politics and society. This last central chapter of the book contrasts trickster logic with the basic foundational logic of social life presented as gift-giving by Marcel Mauss and as sociability by Georg Simmel and which is expressed here combining Heraclitus and Plato with the Gospel of John by three basic terms of ancient Greek culture as arkhé charis logos: meaningful social life originally and in its essence is animated by the power of kind benevolence. This volume will appeal to scholars of social theory anthropology and sociology with interests in political thought and contemporary culture. | Post-Truth Society A Political Anthropology of Trickster Logic

Johann Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin and Das neu-eröffnete Orchestre Mattheson’s Universal Style in Theory and Practice

Johann Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin and Das neu-eröffnete Orchestre Mattheson’s Universal Style in Theory and Practice

A prolific music theorist and critic as well as an established composer Johannes Mattheson remains surprisingly understudied. In this important study Margaret Seares places Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin (1714) in the context of his work as a public intellectual who encouraged German musicians and their musical public to eschew what he saw as the hidebound traditions of the past and instead embrace a universalism of style and expression derived from contemporary currents in music of the leading European nations. Beginning with the early non-musical writings by Mattheson Seares places them in the context of the cosmopolitan city-state of Hamburg before moving to a detailed study of his first major musical treatise Das neu-er¶ffnete Orchestre of 1713 in which he espoused his views about the musics of the past and present and in particular the characteristics of the musics of Germany Italy France and England. This latter section of the treatise Part III is edited and translated into English in the book's appendix - the first such translation available. Seares then moves on to an evaluation of the Pièces de clavecin as a work in which Mattheson reflects in musical terms the themes of modernism (in the sense of la mode) and universalism that are such a strong part of his writings of the period and a work that represents an important precursor for the keyboard suites of Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Frideric Handel. | Johann Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin and Das neu-eröffnete Orchestre Mattheson’s Universal Style in Theory and Practice

European Studies in Asia Contours of a Discipline

European Studies in Asia Contours of a Discipline

As countries across Asia continue to rise and become more assertive global powers the role that Higher Education has played and continues to play in this process is an issue of growing pertinence. Furthermore understanding the relationship between Europe and Asia fostered by historical and contemporary knowledge transfer including Higher Education is crucial to analysing and encouraging the progress of both regional integration and inter-regional cooperation. With a specific focus on international Higher Education European Studies in Asia investigates knowledge transfer and channels of learning between Europe and Asia from historical contemporary and teaching perspectives. The book examines a selection of significant historical precedents of intellectual dialogue between the two regions and in turn explores contemporary cross-regional discourses both inside and outside of the official frameworks of the European Union (EU) and the Asia-Europe Meetings (ASEM). Drawing on extensive case studies based on many of his own teaching experiences Georg Wiessala addresses key questions such as the nature and construction of the European Studies in Asia curriculum; aspects of ‘values’ co-constructed learning and adult pedagogy in the discipline of European Studies in Asia; the politics of Asian host cultures the ‘internationalization’ of Asian Higher Education and the experiences and expectations of tertiary sector students of this subject in Asia Australia and New Zealand. In doing so the author articulates a range of outcomes for the further development of Higher Education cooperation agendas between Asia and Europe in the discipline of European Studies and in related fields such as International Relations. This case study-led book makes an original and novel contribution to our understanding of European Studies in Asia. As such it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Asian Education Comparative Education European Studies and International Relations. | European Studies in Asia Contours of a Discipline

Hidden Attractions of Administration The Peculiar Appeal of Meetings and Documents

Hidden Attractions of Administration The Peculiar Appeal of Meetings and Documents

The Open Access version of this book available at http://www. taylorfrancis. com/books/e/9781003108436 has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4. 0 license. This book argues that the expansion of administrative activities in today’s working life is driven not only by pressure from above but also from below. The authors examine the inner dynamics of people-processing organizations—those formally working for clients patients or students—to uncover the hidden attractions of doing administrative work despite all the complaints and laments about too many meetings or too much paperwork. There is something appealing to those compelled to participate in today’s constantly multiplying and expanding administration that defies popular framings of it as merely pressure from above. Hidden Attractions of Administration shows in detail the emotional attractiveness moral conflicts and almost magical features that administrative tasks often entail in today’s organizations supported by ethnographic studies consisting of over 200 qualitative interviews and participant observations from ten organizational settings and contexts across Sweden. The authors also question and complement explanations in administration-related research that have previously been taken for granted arguing that it is a simplification to attribute all aspects of the change to New Public Management and instead taking into account what the classic sociologist Georg Simmel called an Eigendynamik: a self-reinforcing tendency that under certain circumstances needs only a nudge in an administrative direction to get going. By applying ethnography to issues of bureaucratization and meeting cultures and by drawing on findings in emotional sociology and social anthropology this volume contributes to both the sociology of work and the study of human service organizations and will appeal to scholars and students working across both areas. | Hidden Attractions of Administration The Peculiar Appeal of Meetings and Documents
