Ghosts of Archive Deconstructive Intersectionality and Praxis

Ghosts of Archive Deconstructive Intersectionality and Praxis

Ghosts of Archive draws on the discourses of deconstruction intersectionality and archetypal psychology to mount an argument that archive is fundamentally and structurally spectral and that the work of archive is justice. Drawing on more than 20 years of the author’s research on deconstruction and archive the book posits archive as an essential resource for social justice activism and as a source or location of soul for individuals and communities. Through explorations of what Jacques Derrida termed ‘hauntology’ Harris invites a listening to the call for justice in conceptual spaces that are non-disciplinary. He argues that archive is both constructed in relation to and beset by ghosts – ghosts of the living of the dead and of those not yet born – and that attention should be paid to them. Establishing a unique nexus between a deconstructive intersectionality and traditions of ‘memory for justice’ in struggles against oppression from South Africa and elsewhere the book makes a case for a deconstructive praxis in today’s archive. Offering new ideas about spectrality banditry and archival activism Ghosts of Archive should appeal to those working in the disciplines of archival science information studies and psychology. It should also be essential reading for those with an interest in social justice issues transitional justice history philosophy memory studies and postcolonial studies. | Ghosts of Archive Deconstructive Intersectionality and Praxis

Geoengineering our Climate? Ethics Politics and Governance

Geoengineering our Climate? Ethics Politics and Governance

If the detrimental impacts of human-induced climate change continue to mount technologies for geoengineering our climate – i. e. deliberate modifying of the Earth's climate system at a large scale – are likely to receive ever greater attention from countries and societies worldwide. Geoengineering technologies could have profound ramifications for our societies and yet agreeing on an international governance framework in which even serious research into these planetary-altering technologies can take place presents an immense international political challenge. In this important book a diverse collection of internationally respected scientists philosophers legal scholars policymakers and civil society representatives examine and reflect upon the global geoengineering debate they have helped shape. Opening with essays examining the historic origins of contemporary geoengineering ideas the book goes on to explore varying perspectives from across the first decade of this global discourse since 2006. These essays methodically cover: the practical and ethical dilemmas geoengineering poses; the evolving geoengineering research agenda; the challenges geoengineering technologies present to current international legal and political frameworks; and differing perceptions of geoengineering from around the world. The book concludes with a series of forward looking essays some drawing lessons from precedents for governing other global issues others proposing how geoengineering technologies might be governed if/as they begin to emerge from the lab into the real world. This book is an indispensable resource for scientists activists policymakers and political figures aiming to engage in the emerging debate about geoengineering our climate. | Geoengineering our Climate?

You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

Internal and external pressure continues to mount for college professionals to provide evidence of successful activities programs and services which means that going forward nearly every campus professional will need to approach their work with a data-informed perspective. But you find yourself thinking “I am not a data person”. Yes you are. Or can be with the help of Amelia Parnell. You Are a Data Person provides context for the levels at which you are currently comfortable using data helps you identify both the areas where you should strengthen your knowledge and where you can use this knowledge in your particular university role. For example the rising cost to deliver high-quality programs and services to students has pushed many institutions to reallocate resources to find efficiencies. Also more institutions are intentionally connecting classroom and cocurricular learning experiences which in some instances requires an increased gathering of evidence that students have acquired certain skills and competencies. In addition to programs services and pedagogy professionals are constantly monitoring the rates at which students are entering remaining enrolled in and leaving the institution as those movements impact the institution’s financial position. From teaching professors to student affairs personnel and beyond Parnell offers tangible examples of how professionals can make data contributions at their current and future knowledge level and will even inspire readers to take the initiative to engage in data projects. The book includes a set of self-assessment questions and a companion set of action steps and available resources to help readers accept their identity as a data person. It also includes an annotated list of at least 20 indicators that any higher education professional can examine without sophisticated data analyses. | You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

Contested Sites in Jerusalem The Jerusalem Old City Initiative

Contested Sites in Jerusalem The Jerusalem Old City Initiative

Contested Sites in Jerusalem is the third and final volume in a series of books which collectively present in detail the work of the Jerusalem Old City Initiative or JOCI a major Canadian-led Track Two diplomatic effort undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old City of Jerusalem arguably the most sensitive and intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. This book examines the complex and often contentious issues that arise from the overlapping claims to the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif the role of UNESCO and the major implications of the JOCI Special Regime for such issues as archaeology property and the economy. Part I is dedicated to holy sites – ground zero of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict a point reinforced by the autumn 2014 disturbances which threatened to spiral out of control and engulf Palestinians and Israelis in yet another wave of violence. Parts II–IV of the volume contain studies on archaeology property and economics that were written after the completion of the Special Regime model specifically to address in depth how a Special Regime would deal with each of these three important areas. Contested Sites in Jerusalem offers an insightful explanation of the enormous challenges facing any attempt to find sustainable governance and security arrangements for the Old City in the context of a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. It will therefore be of immense value to the policy-making community as well as anyone in academia with a focus on Middle East politics the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the Middle East peace process. | Contested Sites in Jerusalem The Jerusalem Old City Initiative

A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum

A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum

The Sylloge Tacticorum is a mid-Byzantine example of the literary genre of military manuals or Taktika which stretches back to antiquity. It was one of a number produced during the tenth century CE a period when the Byzantine empire enjoyed a large measure of success in its wars against its traditional enemy the Arabs. Compiled to record and preserve military strategies know-how and tactics the manual discusses a wide variety of matters: battle formations raids sieges ambushes surprise attacks the treatment of prisoners of war and defectors distribution of booty punishment of military offences how to mount effective espionage and how to send and receive envoys. There is even advice on the personal qualities required by generals on how to neutralize enemy horses and on how to protect the troops against poisoned food. The work culminates in an account of the stratagems employed by great Greek and Roman military commanders of the past. While like so much of Byzantine literature the Sylloge often simply reproduces material found in earlier texts it also preserves a great deal of information about the military tactics being developed by the Byzantine army during the tenth century. It is the first Byzantine source to record the reappearance of a specialized heavy cavalry (the kataphraktoi) and of a specialized infantry (the menavlatoi) used to repel the attacks of the opposing heavy cavalry. There is also a great deal of information on new infantry and cavalry formations and on the new tactics that required them. This is the first complete translation of the Sylloge into English. It is accompanied by a glossary of the specialised Greek military vocabulary used in the work and by footnotes which explain obscure references and identify the author’s classical and Byzantine sources. An introduction places the work in its historical and literary context and considers some of the questions that | A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum
