Museum Representations of Motherhood and the Maternal Mother Stuff

Museum Representations of Motherhood and the Maternal Mother Stuff

Museum Representations of Motherhood and the Maternal is the first book to address the underrepresentation of motherhood in museums. Questioning how mothering and maternal experiences should be represented in museums Louise-Clarke argues that such institutions wield the power to influence what we think about families mothers and the labour of care. Using the term ‘mothering’ to encompass lived experiences of mothering or caring that are not exclusively tied to sex gender or the maternal body Louise-Clarke explores the ways that experiences of mothering can be represented in museums. The book begins this exploration with Australia’s Museums Victoria (MV) then expands to look at international cases. Offering a blueprint for what Louise-Clarke calls a ‘museology of mothering’ the book imagines what a museum that articulates maternal subjectivities might look and sound like. Museum Representations of Motherhood and the Maternal initiates a dialogue between museum studies and maternal studies making it essential reading for scholars and students working in both disciplines. Questioning conventional museum practices and the values that underpin them the book will also be of interest to museum and heritage practitioners around the world. | Museum Representations of Motherhood and the Maternal Mother Stuff

Construction in the Landscape A Handbook for Civil Engineering to Conserve Global Land Resources

Construction in the Landscape A Handbook for Civil Engineering to Conserve Global Land Resources

Construction in the Landscape describes the impact of construction on the land and landscape where it takes place. Geographical coverage is necessarily global to reflect the great variation both in people's economic and social needs and in the shortage or abundance of natural resources. Part one introduces both land resources whether used for agriculture human settlement or mineral extraction or conserved as scenery wildlife habitat or for the undefined needs of future generations; and construction its products skills processes and impacts on land resources. Part two describes specific forms of civil engineering – from landform adaptation through dams and river control works coastal construction and transport infrastructure to particular types of structure such as bridges towers and power stations or the layout of complete settlements. Part three deals with regional planning of construction and land use in different geographical circumstances – from fine scenery through rural countryside to city and suburban development – and to the sort of land arrangements that may be sustainable for an increased but hopefully more civilized human population a century hence. | Construction in the Landscape A Handbook for Civil Engineering to Conserve Global Land Resources

Equine Cultures in Transition Ethical Questions

Equine Cultures in Transition Ethical Questions

Societal views on animals are rapidly changing and have become more diversified: can we use them for our own pleasure and how should we understand animal agency? These questions asked both in theoretical discourses and different practices are also relevant for our understanding of horses and the human–horse relation. Equine Cultures in Transition stands as the first volume to bring together ethical questions of the new field of human–horse studies. For instance: what sort of ethics should be developed in relation to the horse today: an egalitarian ethics or an ethics that builds upon asymmetrical relations? How can we understand the horse as a social actor and as someone who just like the human being becomes through interspecies relations? Through which methods can we give the horse a stronger voice and better understand its becoming? These questions are not addressed from a medical or ethological perspective focused on natural behaviour but rather from human acknowledgement of the horse as a sensing feeling acting and relational being; and as a part of interspecies societies and relations. Providing an introductory yet theoretically advanced and broad view of the field of post humanism and human animal studies Equine Cultures in Transition will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as human–animal studies political sociology animals and ethics animal behaviour anthropology and sociology of culture. It may also appeal to riders and other practitioners within different horse traditions. | Equine Cultures in Transition Ethical Questions

Routledge Handbook of Organizational Change in Africa

Routledge Handbook of Organizational Change in Africa

Although change management and therefore effective adaptation to environmental complexity is considered a uniquely human cultural activity the extensive change management literature is largely based on the experiences of organizations in the advanced economies of the West. As the economies of African countries become increasingly open African organizations will need to be agile in order to adapt and grow in a dynamic global environment. Currently there is a dearth of contextualized knowledge on change management within Africa but this handbook aims to address this by bringing together a wide range of experts to explore organizational change and change management from an African context. The handbook adopts a multidisciplinary (historical philosophical processual and strategic) perspective as well as empirical accounts of change management. It addresses such issues as: What are the external and internal pressures for change? What is the content and process of change management? What are the essentials of effective change management? How can change management be theorized from an African perspective? What sort of leadership can best align with change management demands in an African context? How do organizations build internal change management capability? It is hoped that answers to these questions contained in the handbook will provide a contextualized understanding of change management which African organizations and scholars can leverage to respond to the threats and opportunities inherent in their increasingly dynamic environment. The handbook should constitute an essential reference for academics researchers and advanced students of change management development studies and African studies as well as practitioners. | Routledge Handbook of Organizational Change in Africa

Political Communication and Leadership Mimetisation Hugo Chavez and the Construction of Power and Identity

Political Communication and Leadership Mimetisation Hugo Chavez and the Construction of Power and Identity

The long-lasting hegemonic rule of President Hugo Chávez not only involved significant rearrangements in the control of political power in Venezuela but also shifts in the way its citizens constructed connected and interacted with politics. In this book Elena Block explores the political communication style developed by Chávez to transmit his ideologies and engage with his publics — A style that unfolded incrementally between 1998 the year of his first presidential campaign and March 13th 2013 when his death was announced after a long struggle with cancer. What sort of political communication did Hugo Chávez develop to establish hegemony in Venezuela? What made him so popular? Block argues that Chávez’s political communication style can be better understood through the concept of mimetisation a systematic sequence of communicational events and practices whereby the Venezuelan President managed to build a bond with his constituents. Applying a mixed qualitative method of collection and analysis of relevant data this phenomenon is examined via the President’s emotional use of common cultural symbols; dramatized and informalised language; savvy use of communication and media and boost of inclusive compensatory and participatory practices in which his constituents not only felt mimetically mirrored but also endowed with an identity. Shedding new light on contemporary theories of populism from the perspective of political communication and identity construction the notion of mimetisation can be adjusted and applied to study the links of populist phenomena the mediatisation of politics and government cultural appeal and identity politics in other cultures and situations in contemporary times. | Political Communication and Leadership Mimetisation Hugo Chavez and the Construction of Power and Identity

Myth and Madness The Psychodynamics of Anti-Semitism

Myth and Madness The Psychodynamics of Anti-Semitism

The persistence of anti-Semitism and its current resurgence after a brief post-Holocaust suppression challenge those who study human behavior to locate the causal bases of anti-Semitism and find approaches to combat it. This is an astonishing report of a nine-year study of the psychodynamics of anti-Semitism. Undertaken by Dr. Mortimer Ostow on behalf of the Psychoanalytic Research and Development Fund it puts flesh and bones on the discussion of antisemitism in Sigmund Freud's 1939 classic theoretical study Moses and Monotheism. Its close adherence to case material and application of psychoanalytic theory to historical data and cultural products yields new insights into bigotry and equity alike. By examining prejudiced patients and their myths Dr. Ostow shows the common threads of anti-Semitism in a variety of national and cultural settings even under supposed optimal conditions when antisemitism is stringently controlled. The work uses the psychiatric approach and can be read as a study of how this area of behavioral science reveals the interplay of the individual and the group cultural background and material opportunities. The book is divided into five major segments: Psychoanalytic interpretation of anti-Semitism in the past; clinical data on anti-Semitic sentiments in a variety of personal and national settings; mythological dimensions of anti-Semitism and apocalyptic doctrines; specific anti-Semitic myths including pre-Christian early and medieval Christian racial and post-modern Muslim anti-Semitism. The final segment focuses on the pogrom mentality including the Nazi phenomenon antisemitic fundamentalism and black anti-Semitism. Myth and Madness is informed by an amazing breadth of learning: from biblical exegesis to modern sociology from close attention to mundane patients to evaluating mythic claims of the loftiest and at times most dangerous sort. This is a landmark effort one that will be the touchstone for theoretical and clinical works to come. | Myth and Madness The Psychodynamics of Anti-Semitism

The Web Accessibility Project Development and Testing Best Practices

The Web Accessibility Project Development and Testing Best Practices

Approximately 15% of the global population is affected by some sort of disability according to the World Report on Disability. Many C-Suite executives perceive digital accessibility (DA) as an endless task. Among the engineering leaders one in four leaders are reliant on very limited knowledge about digital accessibility. Many countries are increasing their legislative efforts to make web accessibility an important part in web development and testing of software releases. Numerous organizations are facing extreme turbulence when not adhering to international accessibility guidelines while developing their software’s and website applications. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is a global guide on accessibility recommendations that are developed through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to help organizations to meet minimum standard accessibility guidelines. It has become critical for every organization to focus on implementing the accessibility checks at every stage of their application development to avoid costly mistakes. Meanwhile the need for front-end engineers and Quality Assurance (QA) test analysts to learn WCAG best practices is immensely important for the growing need to incorporate accessibility-focused inclusive design development and extensive accessibility testing which are essential for most of the customer-facing websites. In a fast-paced world incorporating shift left accessibility within development and testing is the new normal. The Web Accessibility Project: Development and Testing Best Practices helps developers address right accessibility attributes to user interface (UI) components. It also helps developers focus on developing manual and automation tests for QA professionals to inject accessibility audit accessibility functional tests and accessibility automation tests as part of their Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI/CD) models. The book is filled with readily usable best practices to adapt web accessibility early in application development. By applying the accessibility best practices covered in this book developers can help their organizations rise to a whole new level of accessibility adherence innovation and inclusive design. They will also see greater work satisfaction in their professional lives and a way to help improve digital accessibility for end users. | The Web Accessibility Project Development and Testing Best Practices

Robert Michels Political Sociology and the Future of Democracy

Robert Michels Political Sociology and the Future of Democracy

These essays by the brilliant historian of political science Juan Linz comprise a remarkable intellectual review of the life and work of Robert Michels his major book Political Parties and the dimensions of democracy as a functioning system. Linz elucidates the importance of Michels in a way that offers more than a mechanical view of political parties as some sort of precisely ordered system of authority and influence. Instead Michels offers a view of politics that is bottom up and untidy what he calls a reciprocal deference structure. Michels is not simply the father of the iron law of oligarchy but the idea of politics as a less than orderly network of responsiveness responsibility and accountability. Linz demonstrates with magisterial power why Michels must be ranked as a foremost thinker in classical political sociology. The remaining three segments of the volume cover areas with which Linz has also long been identified. Each in its own way illumines aspects of Michels as well. Time and Regime Change articulates differences between change within a regime and change of a regime-sometimes hard to identify because of the elongated time frames involved. The next essay explains why Spain is neither a traditional society nor a successful modern nation. The reliance upon central authority displaced the hoped for evolution of a society based on representative democratic institutions. The final section. Freedom and Autonomy of Intellectuals and Artists is a topic that gripped Michels and Linz alike. Freedom as a goal of the intelligentsia has been frustrated by those who provide ideological justification for repression of ideas and actions in the name of higher values. This segment provides a bridge between Michels and Weber-not to mention both of these major figures with Linz himself. The role of state power in mediating intellectual freedom is the leitmotif that blankets the twentieth century. The work is graced by a full-length bibliography of the writings of Juan J. Linz prepared by his student and colleague H. E. Chehabi. | Robert Michels Political Sociology and the Future of Democracy

Process Redesign for Health Care Using Lean Thinking A Guide for Improving Patient Flow and the Quality and Safety of Care

Process Redesign for Health Care Using Lean Thinking A Guide for Improving Patient Flow and the Quality and Safety of Care

Process Redesign for Health Care Using Lean Thinking is a response to a simple but hard to answer question and is the result of the experiences of a working doctor who was also the chief safety and quality officer of an Australian teaching hospital. At this hospital he observed that the Emergency Department was staff by talented well-trained and respected doctors and nurses. The facilities were modern and the work load unexceptional but the department was close to melt down. Bad things were happening to patients everyone was blaming each other lots of things had been tried but nothing was getting better and no one could explain why. The problem was not a lack of technical knowledge or expertise the problem was that no one stood back and said what’s the best way to move 200 or 300 patients a day through the complicated and varying sequence of steps needed to sort out the many different problems that bring patients to our department? These challenges are faced by hospitals and health services all over the world. There are difficulties with patient flow congestion queues inefficient utilization of resources problems engaging clinical staff in improvement programs adverse incidents and budget constraints. Lean thinking and value stream analysis gives hospitals and health services struggling with these issues the insights they need to help themselves. This book provides a method that systematically turns those insights into working programs of service and system redesign. The book is divided into two sections. The first section gives the background to the approach and systematically works through the Process Redesign methodology step-by-step. The second section is a series of case studies that show the methodology in action what worked and what didn’t work. The goal of any process redesign is simple: the right care for the right person at the right time in the right place and right the first time. This book helps the people who work in hospitals and health services realize these goals by working together. | Process Redesign for Health Care Using Lean Thinking A Guide for Improving Patient Flow and the Quality and Safety of Care

Revival: Psychology and the Day's Work (1918) A Study in Application of Psychology to Daily Life

Revival: Psychology and the Day's Work (1918) A Study in Application of Psychology to Daily Life

Psychology considered as the science of human behavior is concerned with man's response to the impressions made upon him by objects people and events. They make up the situations that he meets. Behavior-the individual's way of dealing with these situations-if not a complete failure results finally in some sort of adjustment to the conditions in which one lives; and this adjustment culminates in social and moral habits in habits of work in ways of thinking and acting; in short in habits of life. And through all the adapting process runs the influence of physiological conditions and the effect of their changes caused by the manner of life and the advance of years. The adjustment may be mechanical and rigid insensible to misfits without power to readjust as conditions alter; or again it may be flexible and adaptive-capable of new adjustments as circumstances change. This adjustment represents the capacity of man for achievement. It is his efficiency-the strategy and tactics of life. It is well then from time to time to take an inventory of stock and try to discover the significance of the facts and principles of human behavior which investigation has revealed. Concerning the more common matters of every-day life however psychologists have offered relatively little of interpretative value. Yet these experiences make up the day's work. They determine its quantity and quality. Much has been written about making others efficient but comparatively little about one's own method of thinking working and acting. Yet knowing oneself reaches far into success and failure; and there is no other way of understanding the behavior of others. It is therefore in the hope of interpreting a few of these personal experiences of daily life that this book is written. The topics that could be discussed extend far beyond the limits of a single volume. The choice of course is largely personal but the writer has tried to select types of conduct as well as phases and causes of behavior that are fundamental to thinking and acting whether in the life of social intercourse or in the business and professional world. And after all thinking and acting determine achievement. | Revival: Psychology and the Day's Work (1918) A Study in Application of Psychology to Daily Life
