Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities

Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities

Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall this collection of essays examines the ways in which popular media re-construct ideas and ideals of femininity in the post-socialist cultural space. The authors explore a comprehensive range of questions including: How have post-socialist women engaged with media as media producers and consumers as well as objects of media representation? What are the consequences of the commodification of femininity in the post-socialist context? How does the female body serve as a battleground for the enactment and renegotiation of gendered identities and ideologies? How can we understand and theorize post-socialist women’s activist movements? In seeking answers to such questions this volume highlights the need to reconsider feminism as a political and theoretical project with many faces. It bridges research on the mediation of post-socialist femininities with broader concerns about the transnational trajectories of feminism today. This book was originally published as a special issue of Feminist Media Studies. | Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities

Post-Conflict Studies An Interdisciplinary Approach

Post-Conflict Studies An Interdisciplinary Approach

This book examines how the violence of conflict is transformed in the post-conflict period. Post-conflict studies seek to illuminate theorise and narrate the processes by which societies transition from periods of overt and violent conflict to periods of relative stability and peace. Most of the research carried out on post-conflict societies has taken place within disciplinary bounds. In contrast this volume breaches those boundaries; though each author is grounded in a particular discipline the chapters have been written in a spirit of interdisciplinarity. The focus of the volume is how the violence of conflict is transformed in the post-conflict period into processes that the editors have categorised as criminalisation medicalisation and missionisation. Comprised of essays written by a diverse group of scholars and activists from anthropology political science international relations law education religion and military history each section of the book looks at the concept of post-conflict in a way that problematises its common usage and highlights the importance of strongly interdisciplinary research into post-conflict societies. This book will be of interest to students of war and conflict studies peace studies security studies and IR in general. | Post-Conflict Studies An Interdisciplinary Approach

Parliaments and Post-Legislative Scrutiny

Parliaments and Post-Legislative Scrutiny

To what extent have parliaments a responsibility to monitor how laws are implemented as intended and have the expected impact? Is the practice of Post-Legislative Scrutiny emerging as a new dimension within the oversight role of parliament? What approach do parliaments apply in assessing the implementation and impact of legislation? These are the fascinating questions guiding this book. Case studies offer an in-depth look at how particular countries and the European Union conduct Post-Legislative Scrutiny. The analysis puts Post-Legislative Scrutiny in the context of parliamentary oversight and parliaments’ engagement in the legislative cycle. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate the value of Post-Legislative Scrutiny as a public good benefiting the executive legislature and the people in ensuring that law delivers what is expected of it as well as to respond to the need for greater clarity as to what is meant by the term.

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault critiques mainstream American nursing theory and its use of post-structural theory comparing and contrasting how postmodern and post-structural ideas have been used fruitfully in nursing research and theorizing elsewhere. In the late 1980s references to post-structuralism and Michel Foucault started to appear in nursing journals. Since then hundreds of nursing publications have cited postmodernism and key post-structural ideas such as power/knowledge discourse and de-centring the human subject. In Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault Olga Petrovskaya argues that the application of these ideas is markedly different in American nursing theory scholarship compared to nursing theoretical scholarship generated outside the canon of unique nursing theory. Analysing relevant literature from the late 1980s through 2010s she demonstrates this difference arguing that American nursing theory calcified into a matrix of dogmas built on logical positivism wary of borrowed theory and loyal to a unique nursing science. Post-structural ideas that fit the matrix such as criticism of medicine are sanctioned whereas ideas sceptical of humanistic agendas including those that challenge American nursing theory are rendered meaningless. In contrast other nurse scholars from Britain Australia Canada and what the author calls the American enclave group engaged with postmodern and post-structural perspectives to enrich their research and invite readers to rethink nursing practice. The book showcases examples of their intelligent creative theorizing. Arguing that American nursing theory enervated nursing theorizing Petrovskaya calls for opening this matrix to theoretical and methodological creativity less rigid categories of scholarship and healthy self-examination. Making the case that post-structural ideas are vital for nurses’ ability to critically reflect on their discipline and profession this is a necessary read for all those interested in nursing theory philosophy and praxis.

The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities

The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities

The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities analyses violence in post-war cities from different perspectives and in different parts of the world with a shared attention to space and how it affects violent dynamics. The world is urbanising rapidly and cities are increasingly held as the most important arenas for sustainable development. Cities emerging from war are no exception but across the globe many post-war cities are ravaged by residual or renewed violence which threatens progress towards peace and stability. This volume addresses why such violence happens where and how it manifests and how it can be prevented. It includes contributions that are informed by both post-war logics and urban particularities that take intra-city dynamics into account and that adopt a spatial analysis of the city. They focus on cases around the world including Medellín (Colombia) Johannesburg (South Africa) and Mitrovica (Kosovo). The volume makes a threefold contribution to the research agenda on violence in post-war cities. First the contributions nuance our understanding of the causes and forms of the uneven spatial distribution of violence insecurities and trauma within and across post-war cities. Second the collection demonstrates how urban planning and the built environment shape and generate different forms of violence in post-war cities. Third the contributions explore the challenges opportunities and potential unintended consequences of conflict resolution in violent urban settings. Providing novel insights into the causes and dynamics of violence in post-war cities and challenges and opportunities for violence reduction The Spatiality of Violence in Post-war Cities will be of great interest to scholars of peace violence conflict and its resolution urban studies built environment and planning. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Third World Thematics.

Post-Conflict Literature Human Rights Peace Justice

Post-Conflict Literature Human Rights Peace Justice

This book brings together a variety of perspectives to explore the role of literature in the aftermath of political conflict studying the ways in which writers approach violent conflict and the equally important subject of peace. Essays put insights from Peace and Conflict Studies into dialog with the unique ways in which literature attempts to understand the past and to reimagine both the present and the future exploring concepts like truth and reconciliation post-traumatic memory historical reckoning therapeutic storytelling transitional justice archival memory and questions about victimhood and reparation. Drawing on a range of literary texts and addressing a variety of post-conflict societies this volume charts and explores the ways in which literature attempts to depict and make sense of this new philosophical terrain. As such it aims to offer a self-conscious examination of literature and the discipline of literary studies considering the ability of both to interrogate and explore the legacies of political and civil conflict around the world. The book focuses on the experience of post-Apartheid South Africa post-Troubles Northern Ireland and post-dictatorship Latin America. The recent history of these regions and in particular their acute experience of ethno-religious and civil conflict make them highly productive contexts in which to begin examining the role of literature in the aftermath of social trauma. Rather than a definitive account of the subject the collection defines a new field for literary studies and opens it up to scholars working in other regional and national contexts. To this end the book includes essays on post-1989 Germany post-9/11 United States the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Sierra Leone and narratives of asylum seeker/refugee communities. This volume’s comparative frame draws on well-established precedents for thinking about the cultural politics of these regions making it a valuable resource for scholars of | Post-Conflict Literature Human Rights Peace Justice

Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism

Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism

In the past two decades Marxism has enjoyed a revitalization as a research program and a growth in its audience. This renaissance is connected to the revival of anti-capitalist contestation since the Seattle protests in 1999 and the impact of the global economic and financial crisis in 2007–8. It intersects with the emergence of Post-Marxism since the 1980s represented by thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas Chantal Mouffe Ranajit Guha and Alain Badiou. This handbook explores the development of Marxism and Post-Marxism setting them in dialogue against a truly global backdrop. Transcending the disciplinary boundaries between philosophy economics politics and history an international range of expert contributors guide the reader through the main varieties and preoccupations of Marxism and Post-Marxism. Through a series of framing and illustrative essays readers will explore these traditions starting from Marx and Engels themselves through the thinkers of the Second and Third Internationals (Rosa Luxemburg Lenin and Trotsky among others) the Tricontinental and Subaltern and Post-Colonial Studies to more contemporary figures such as Huey Newton Fredric Jameson Judith Butler Immanuel Wallerstein and Samir Amin. The Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism will be of interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy cultural studies and theory sociology political economics and several areas of political science including political theory Marxism political ideologies and critical theory.

Governance Resistance and the Post-Colonial State Management and State Building

Governance Resistance and the Post-Colonial State Management and State Building

The manifestation of the colonial nation-state as a legal-bureaucratic-police structure – an exploitation tool – undermined customary modes of governance in colonies. When post-World War II independence of colonies transferred ownership of the state structure to the colonized elite electoral and civil society politics battled for capture of this post-colonial state. Meanwhile the state was also forced to build its legitimacy in the face of customary governance practices seeking rehabilitation and decolonization in the midst of civil wars and strife. This state-building social movement was further complicated with the global spread of neoliberalism and neocolonialism and herein lies the significant difference between the post-colonial nation-state and the Western nation-states. This book fills the gap in literature and argues that it is necessary to foreground discussions of the nature of the post-colonial nation-state in examining resistance and provides a window into the dynamics of the post-colonial state and its implication in everyday organizing and resistance. | Governance Resistance and the Post-Colonial State Management and State Building

Post-Covid Transformations

Post-Covid Transformations

This volume explores the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for the sustainability of the present global political and economic system and the extent to which that system may as a result be undergoing transformation. Towards this aim the contributing authors raise a number of key questions. First what is likely to be the impact of the pandemic on the current global order based on neoliberal hyper-globalization? Second what insights do earlier pandemics along with other inter-related crises such as those of climate inequality social reproduction and continued fallout of the global financial crisis offer for understanding the medium- to long-term implications of COVID-19? Third to what extent might the COVID pandemic lead to progressive political transformations? Towards this latter goal the contributors to this volume also offer a number of suggestions as to what a post-COVID-19 world might look like and how post-COVID transformations might be channeled in a direction more conducive towards social justice and equality. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Globalizations.
