Handbook on Ageing with Disability

Mainstream gerontological scholarship has taken little heed of people ageing with disability and they have also been largely overlooked by both disability and ageing policies and service systems. The Handbook on Ageing with Disability is the first to pull together knowledge about the experience of ageing with disability. It provides a broad look at scholarship in this developing field and across different groups of people with disability in order to form a better understanding of commonalities across groups and identify unique facets of ageing within specific groups. Drawing from academic personal and clinical perspectives the chapters address topics stemming from how the ageing with disability experience is framed the heterogeneity of the population ageing with disability and the disability experience issues of social exclusion health and wellness frailty later life and policy contexts for ageing with disability in various countries. Responding to the need to increase access to knowledge in this field the Handbook provides guideposts for researchers practitioners and policy makers about what matters in providing services developing programmes and implementing policies that support persons ageing with long-term disabilities and their families.

It looks at the musicians repertoires production processes broadcasts policies and strategies that fuelled the launch of Radiotelevisão Portuguesa (RTP) and the rise of television an indispensable new medium that granted Portuguese people access to the wider world – a world curated by public television producers with individual cultural political and aesthetic attitudes to influence the dissemination of jazz. In exploring the connections between these national and international jazz scenes Encounters with Jazz on Television in Cold War Era Portugal: 1954–1974 addresses opportunities for in-depth comparison of the Portuguese experience with that of other countries situating Cold War era Portuguese television jazz broadcasting as part of a bigger still unwritten story. | Encounters with Jazz on Television in Cold War Era Portugal 1954–1974

Psychoanalysing Ambivalence with Freud and Lacan On and Off the Couch

Psychoanalysing Ambivalence with Freud and Lacan On and Off the Couch

Taking a deep dive into contemporary Western culture this book suggests we are all fundamentally ambivalent beings. A great deal has been written about how to love – to be kinder more empathic a better person and so on. But trying to love without dealing with our ambivalence with our hatred is often a recipe for failure. Any attempt therefore to love our neighbour as ourselves – or even for that matter to love ourselves – must recognise that we love where we hate and we hate where we love. Psychoanalysis beginning with Freud has claimed that to be in two minds about something or someone is characteristic of human subjectivity. Owens and Swales trace the concept of ambivalence through its various iterations in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to question how the contemporary subject deals with its ambivalence. They argue that experiences of ambivalence are in present-day cultural life increasingly excised or foreclosed and that this foreclosure has symptomatic effects at the individual as well as social level. Owens and Swales examine ambivalence as it is at work in mourning in matters of sexuality and in our enjoyment under neoliberalism and capitalism. Above all the authors consider how today’s ambivalent subject relates to the racially religiously culturally or sexually different neighbour as a result of the current societal dictate of complete tolerance of the other. In this vein Owens and Swales argue that ambivalence about one’s own jouissance is at the very roots of xenophobia. Peppered with relevant and stimulating examples from clinical work film television politics and everyday life Psychoanalysing Ambivalence breathes new life into an old concept and will appeal to any reader academic or clinician with an interest in psychoanalytic ideas. | Psychoanalysing Ambivalence with Freud and Lacan On and Off the Couch

Perspectives on India's Political Economy

Perspectives on India's Political Economy

This volume contains some of the core foundational contributions on the broad theme of the political economy of India’s development. These have been culled from the numerous writings of public personages thinkers and academic writers over the past century. The extant collections of readings on development economics usually contain readings from academic economists like Sen Bhagwati Bardhan Dreze Basu etc. The purpose of this collection is to point out to the lay reader that there is a world of writing on development that is outside the realms of academia. Accordingly we look at the contributions of figures like Mahatma Gandhi Jawaharlal Nehru Babasaheb Ambedkar Ram Manohar Lohia etc. who too had thought hard and deep about the process of India’s development. The present volume is a purposive selection of 23 articles out of the 75 pieces published earlier in four volumes with the title Economic Development of India by Routledge in 2015. This selection is brought out with the aim of retaining the flavour of the theme under discussion in a succinct single cover volume with a new introduction that ruminates on the recent developments. | Perspectives on India's Political Economy

Real Animals on the Stage

Real Animals on the Stage

Through a series of case studies this book explores the role of live animals on the stage from the early modern era to the present time. The contributors deal with visual and textual representations of performing animals; typologies of animals in the theatre; the hybridization of the drama with the circus the zoo and the cinema; as well as the semiotic transfer of animal roles from the text to the stage. The focus lies on the changing historical fortunes of the four-footed actor and on exploring the ways that attitudes to the animal affect their dramatic representations – within aesthetic contexts but also in their dramatized scientific use. Exploring snapshots of acting animals from their earliest manifestation on the early modern stage the chapters contextualize and theorize particular uses of the animal actor and key into current debates on the cutting edge of animal performance studies. While seeking to consider how these theoretical perspectives were formed the collection delves into the multiple ways through which the animal presence problematizes the practice of theatricality. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in Theatre and Performance. | Real Animals on the Stage

Heidegger on Technology

Heidegger on Technology

This collection offers the first comprehensive and definitive account of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of technology. It does so through a detailed analysis of canonical texts and recently published primary sources on two crucial concepts in Heidegger’s later thought: Gelassenheit and Gestell. Gelassenheit translated as ‘releasement’ and Gestell often translated as ‘enframing’ stand as opposing ideas in Heidegger’s work whereby the meditative thinking of Gelassenheit counters the dangers of our technological framing of the world in Gestell. After opening with a scholarly overview of Heidegger’s philosophy of technology as a whole this volume focuses on important Heideggerian critiques of science technology and modern industrialized society as well as Heidegger’s belief that transformations in our thought processes enable us to resist the restrictive domain of modern techno-scientific practice. Key themes discussed in this collection include: the history development and defining features of modern technology; the relationship between scientific theories and their technological instantiations; the nature of human agency and the essence of education in the age of technology; and the ethical political and environmental impact of our current techno-scientific customs. This volume also addresses the connection between Heidegger’s critique of technology and his involvement with the Nazis. Finally and with contributions from a number of renowned Heidegger scholars the original essays in this collection will be of great interest to students of Philosophy Technology Studies the History of Science Critical Theory Environmental Studies Education Sociology and Political Theory. | Heidegger on Technology

Barbot on Guinea Volume II

Barbot on Guinea Volume II

Jean Barbot who served as a commercial agent on French slave-trading voyages to West Africa in 1678-9 and 1681-2 in 1683 began an account of the Guinea coast based partly on his voyage journals (only one of which is extant) and partly on previous printed sources. The work was interrupted by his flight to England as a Huguenot refugee in 1685 and not finished until 1688. When Barbot found that his lengthy French account could not be published he rewrote it in English enlarging it even further and then continually revising it up to his death in 1712. The manuscript was eventually published in 1732. Barbot's book had considerable influence on later European attitudes to Black Africa and the Atlantic slave trade and in modern writings on both subjects is frequently cited as evidence. The French account serves as the base for the present edition and is presented in English translation but additional material in the later English version is inserted. The edition concentrates on Barbot's original information. He copied much from earlier sources - this derived material is omitted but is identified in the notes. The original material mainly on Senegal Sierra Leone River Sess Gold Coast and the Calabars is extensively annotated not least with comparative references to other sources. Apart from its narrative interest the edition thus provides a starting point for the critical assessment of a range of early sources on Guinea. The edition opens with an introductory essay discussing Barbot's life and career and analysing his sources. Barbot provided a large number of his own drawings of topographical and ethnographical features in particular drawings of almost all of the European forts in Guinea. Many of these illustrations are reproduced. This volume covers the coast from the River Volta to Cape Lopez. The main pagination of this and the previous volume (2nd series 175) series is continuous. This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published in 1991. | Barbot on Guinea Volume II
