Advances in Research on Illicit Networks

Social network analysis finally reached a critical mass of scholars in the field of criminology. The proven track record of network theory and methods in fostering new advances in our understanding of crimes and criminals has extended the web of researchers willing to integrate this approach to their work. It is more than just a fad – once you adopt a network approach it almost inevitably becomes the main lens through which you see crime. The insights learned from analysing matrices of relations among offenders from exploiting the interdependence among actors instead of finding ways to avoid it are simply too great to ignore. This book provides a state of the art assessment into network research currently being conducted in criminology and beyond pushing the field further in multiple ways. A series of contributions tackle themes and offending types that had yet to be previously empirically investigated including political conspiracies steroid distribution methamphetamine production illicit marketplaces on the Internet and small arms trafficking. Advances are also found in the data sources used to extract illicit networks and the methods used to analyse them. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Crime. | Advances in Research on Illicit Networks

Sham Ruins A User's Guide

In the middle of the eigtheenth century a new fad found its way into the gardens of England's well-to-do: building fake Gothic ruins. Newly constructed castle towers and walls looked like they were already falling apart even on the first day of their creation. Made of stone plaster or even canvas these sham ruins are often considered an embarrassing blip in English architectural history. However Sham Ruins: A User's Guide expands the specific example of the sham ruin into a general principle to examine the way purposely broken objects can be used to both uncover old truths and invent new ones. Along with architecture work by Ivan Vladislavić Tom Stoppard Alain Mabanckou Aleksei Fedorchenko Michael Haneke and Sturtevant is used to develop this thesis as well as artifacts such as pre-torn jeans fake histories and broken screen apps. Using these examples one of the key questions the book raises is: what is it that sham ruins ruin? In other words if real ruins are ruins of what they actually are then sham ruins should be considered ruins of what they are not. Thus sham ruins are about imposing new meaning where such meaning does not and should not exist. They also can show how things we think are functioning well are actually already broken. Sham ruins do this and much more by being lies ruses and embarrassments. This is what gives them the power with which we can think about objects in new unintended ways. | Sham Ruins A User's Guide

Resilience

Is resilience simply a fad or is it a new way of thinking about human–environment relations and the governance of these relations that has real staying power? Is resilience a dangerous depoliticizing concept that neuters incipient political activity or the key to more empowering emancipatory and participatory forms of environmental management? Resilience offers an advanced introduction to these debates. It provides students with a detailed review of how the concept emerged from a small corner of ecology to critically challenge conventional environmental management practices and radicalize how we can think about and manage social and ecological change. But Resilience also situates this new style of thought and management within a particular historical and geographical context. It traces the roots of resilience to the cybernetically-influenced behavioral science of Herbert Simon the neoliberal political economic theory of new institutional economics the pragmatist philosophy of John Dewey and the modernist design aesthetic of the Bauhaus school. These diverse roots are what distinguish resilience approaches from other ways of studying human-environment relations. Resilience thinking recalibrates the study of social and environmental change around a will to design a drive or desire to synthesize diverse forms of knowledge and develop collaborative cross-boundary solutions to complex problems. In contrast to the modes of analysis and critique found in geography and cognate disciplines resilience approaches strive to pragmatically transform human–environment relations in ways that will produce more sustainable futures for complex social and ecological systems. In providing a road map to debates over resilience that brings together research from geography anthropology sociology international relations and philosophy this book gives readers the conceptual and theoretical tools necessary to engage with political and ethical questions about how we can and should live together in an increasingly interconnected and unpredictable world.

Neorealist Architecture Aesthetics of Dwelling in Postwar Italy

***Winner of the American Association for Italian Studies Book Prize 2022 and selected at the FAD Awards 2023*** After World War II a wave of Italian films emerged that depicted the life and hardships of characters left helpless after the conflict bringing to the screen the struggles of a time of existential angst and uncertainty. This form of filmmaking was associated with a broader artistic phenomenon known as ‘neorealism’ and is now considered a pivotal point in the history of Italian cinema. But neorealism was not limited to film any more than it was to literature. It spread to other areas of artistic production including architecture. What was then neorealist architecture? This book explores the links between architecture filmmaking and the built environment in dopoguerra Italy (194X–195X) seeking to ascertain whether and how neorealism manifested itself in architecture. Terms such as ‘neorealist architecture’ or ‘architectural neorealism’ were hinted at in these years and recalled by historians of architecture in the following decades. Therefore the concept was adopted ad hoc and popularized post hoc in the absence of any declarations prior to 1955 that proclaimed what neorealism in architecture was or wanted to be. However while the concept has been internalized by Italian architectural history transfers between neorealism—as an aesthetic and ethic—and architecture—as one potential medium of its embodiment or expression—are still not fully understood. Therefore its main goal is to provide an in-depth discussion of the concept ‘neorealist architecture’ the working assumption being that the connection between both terms is not meaningless. The book is beautifully illustrated with over 100 black and white archival images and is the first book to be published on neorealism in architecture. It will appeal to scholars professionals and students interested in history and theory of architecture Italian studies art history and cultural studies. | Neorealist Architecture Aesthetics of Dwelling in Postwar Italy
