New Music and the Crises of Materiality Sounding Bodies and Objects in Late Modernity

New Music and the Crises of Materiality Sounding Bodies and Objects in Late Modernity

This book explores the transformation of ideas of the material in late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century musical composition. New music of this era is argued to reflect a historical moment when the idea of materiality itself is in flux. Engaging with thinkers such as Theodor Adorno Sara Ahmed Zygmunt Bauman Rosi Braidotti and Timothy Morton the author considers music's relationship with changing material conditions from the rise of neo-liberalisms and information technologies to new concepts of the natural world. Drawing on musicology cultural theory and philosophy the author develops a critical understanding of musical bodies objects and the environments of their interaction. Music is grasped as something that both registers material changes in society whilst also enabling us to practice materiality differently. | New Music and the Crises of Materiality Sounding Bodies and Objects in Late Modernity

Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity

Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity

The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity brings the ecological turn to sociocultural understandings of self. The editors introduce a broad insightful assembly of original theory and research on planetary positionalities in flux in the Anthropocene – or what in this Handbook cultural ecologist David Abram presciently renames the Humilocene a new “epoch of humility. ” Forty international authors craft a kaleidoscopic lens focusing on the following key interdisciplinary inquiries:Part I illuminates identity as always ecocultural expanding dominant understandings of who we are and how our ways of identifying engender earthly outcomes. Part II examines ways ecocultural identities are fostered and how difference and spaces of interaction can be sources of environmental conviviality. Part III illustrates consequential ways the media sphere informs challenges and amplifies particular ecocultural identities. Part IV delves into the constitutive power of ecocultural identities and illuminates ways ecological forces shape the political sphere. Part V demonstrates multiple and unspooling ways in which ecocultural identities can evolve and transform to recall ways forward to reciprocal surviving and thriving. The Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity provides an essential resource for scholars teachers students protectors and practitioners interested in ecological and sociocultural regeneration.

Class in Turn-of-the-Century Novels of Gissing James Hardy and Wells

Class in Turn-of-the-Century Novels of Gissing James Hardy and Wells

This book argues that due to political and ideological shifts in the last decades of the nineteenth century-a time when the class system in England was in a state of flux-a new depiction of social class was possible in the English novel. Late-century writers such as Gissing James Hardy and Wells question the middle-class Victorian views of class that had dominated the novel for decades. By disrupting traditional novelistic conventions these writers reveal the ideology of the historical moment in which those conventions obtained thereby questioning the 'naturalness' of class assumed by earlier middle-class Victorian writers. The book contextualizes novels by these writers within their historical moment with reference to relevant maps journalism artwork or photography and specific historical events. It illuminates the relationship between fiction and history in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century fiction and especially the relationship between changing depictions of class and the development of realism. Examining the nineteenth-century English novel through the lens of social class allows the twenty-first century critic and student not only to understand the issues at stake in much Victorian fiction but also to recognize powerful present-day vestiges of this social class system. | Class in Turn-of-the-Century Novels of Gissing James Hardy and Wells

The Social-Emotional Learning Upgrade Merging SEL and Technology Curricula to Support Young Learners

The Social-Emotional Learning Upgrade Merging SEL and Technology Curricula to Support Young Learners

The Social-Emotional Learning Upgrade explores how today’s educators can connect two previously separated but important curricula in their schools: social-emotional learning (SEL) and educational technology. With schools’ SEL efforts pressed for time and resources and digital engagements often limited to skill development K-12 students risk being unprepared to sustain their well-being and personal opportunities in a rapidly changing technology-dependent world. Driven by a paradigm that synthesizes multicultural education and humanistic psychology this book readies educators to implement SEL curricula that will support young learners as they navigate constant social and technological flux and that will nurture their unique perceptions of reality their aspirations and their mental and physical health. Each chapter’s novel insights will help to mitigate both student disengagement and teacher demoralization enabling classroom pedagogies and the process of schooling to better align with the ways in which learners explore express and create meaning. Guiding pre-service teachers leaders and curriculum developers beyond common goals such as digital skills development content mastery or standardized testing this volume focuses instead on complex digital literacies collaborative experiences problem- and project-based learning culturally relevant pedagogies and overall holistic growth. | The Social-Emotional Learning Upgrade Merging SEL and Technology Curricula to Support Young Learners

The Future of Global Competition Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese Iranian Russian and Venezuelan Media

The Future of Global Competition Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese Iranian Russian and Venezuelan Media

With today’s social and geopolitical order in significant flux this project offers vital insight into the future global order by comparatively charting national media perceptions regarding the future of global competition through the lens of Ontological Security (OS). The authors employ a mixed-method approach to analyze 620 news articles from 47 Russian Chinese Venezuelan and Iranian news sources over a five-year period (2014-2019) quantitatively comparing the drivers of their visions while providing in-depth qualitative case studies for each nation. Not only do these narratives reveal how these four nations understand the current global order but also point to their (in)flexibility and agentic capacity for reflection in adapting even shaping the future order and their identity-roles within it around an economic and diplomatic battleground. The authors argue these narratives create trajectories with inertial effects grounded in their OS needs providing enduring insights into their behavior and interests moving into the future. The Future of Global Coopetition will help readers understand how influential nations typical aligned in opposition to the US envision the drivers of global competition and the make-up of the future international system. Those engaged in the study of media global politics international relations and communication will find this book to be a critical source. | The Future of Global Competition Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese Iranian Russian and Venezuelan Media

The Japanese LGBTQ+ Community in the World The COVID-19 Pandemic Challenges and the Prospects for the Future

This study of the Japanese LGBTQ+ community sheds light on the intersectionality of lived experiences including gender sexuality family (mental) health race and ethnicity migration and nationality offering a picture of a community whose experience is deeply embedded in the dynamic society around. The Japanese LGBTQ+ Community in the World takes an innovative approach viewing the community as an integral part of the world in flux rather than an isolated monoracial and monolingual tight-knit entity. Like the US and many other countries in the world when the pandemic struck Japan its citizens were not all equally equipped to withstand it. Due particularly to lingering systemic injustices including stigma ostracism from family and society as well as lack of legal protection of their basic human rights the pandemic has disproportionately affected the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in Japan. They face unique challenges within various facets of their lives. Their experiences are an integral part of understanding how this pandemic is affecting a societal response to an already marginalized group of individuals. This important study looks at the issues from a range of perspectives including public health care services the media and cross-cultural experience. This book is ideal for students and scholars of gender studies LGBTQ studies sociology health and Asian studies. | The Japanese LGBTQ+ Community in the World The COVID-19 Pandemic Challenges and the Prospects for the Future

Women's Rights and Religious Law Domestic and International Perspectives

Women's Rights and Religious Law Domestic and International Perspectives

The three Abrahamic faiths have dominated religious conversations for millennia but the relations between state and religion are in a constant state of flux. This relationship may be configured in a number of ways. Religious norms may be enforced by the state as part of a regime of personal law or conversely religious norms may be formally relegated to the private sphere but can be brought into the legal realm through the private acts of individuals. Enhanced recognition of religious tribunals or religious doctrines by civil courts may create a hybrid of these two models. One of the major issues in the reconciliation of changing civic ideals with religious tenets is gender equality and this is an ongoing challenge in both domestic and international affairs. Examining this conflict within the context of a range of issues including marriage and divorce violence against women and children and women’s political participation this collection brings together a discussion of the Abrahamic religions to examine the role of religion in the struggle for women’s equality around the world. The book encompasses both theory and practical examples of how law can be used to negotiate between claims for gender equality and the right to religion. It engages with international and regional human rights norms and also national considerations within countries. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in law and religion gender studies and human rights law. | Women's Rights and Religious Law Domestic and International Perspectives

China's Policy towards the South China Sea When Geopolitics Meets the Law of the Sea

China's Policy towards the South China Sea When Geopolitics Meets the Law of the Sea

This book provides an explanation of Chinese policy towards the South China Sea and argues that this has been sculpted by the changing dynamics of the law of the sea in conjunction with regional geopolitical flux. The past few decades have witnessed a bifurcated trend in China’s management of territorial disputes. Over the years while China gradually calmed and settled most land-border disputes with its neighbors disputes on the ocean frontier continued to simmer in a seething cauldron. China's Policy towards the South China Sea attributes the distinctive path of China’s approach to maritime disputes to a unique factor – the law of the sea (LOS) as the rules of the road in the ocean. By deconstructing the concept of sovereignty and treating the LOS as an evolving regime the book examines how the changing dynamics of the LOS regime have complicated and reshaped the nature and content of sovereign disputes in the ocean regime as well as the options of settlement. Applying the findings to the South China Sea case the author traces the learning curve on which China has embarked to comprehend the complexity of the dispute accordingly and finds that it is the dynamic interaction of the law of the sea regime and the geopolitical conditions that has driven the evolution of China’s South China Sea policy. This book will be of great interest to students of Chinese and Asian politics international law international relations and security studies. | China's Policy towards the South China Sea When Geopolitics Meets the Law of the Sea

Honourable Intentions? Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies c 1750 to 1850

Honourable Intentions? Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies c 1750 to 1850

Honourable Intentions? compares the significance and strategic use of ‘honour’ in two colonial societies the Cape Colony and the early British settlements in Australia between 1750 and 1850. The mobile populations of emigrants and sojourners sailors and soldiers merchants and traders slaves and convicts who surged into and through these regions are not usually associated with ideas of honour. But in both societies competing and contradictory notions of honour proved integral to the ways in which colonisers and colonised free and unfree defended their status and insisted on their right to be treated with respect. During these times of flux concepts of honour and status were radically reconstructed. Each of the thirteen chapters considers honour in a particular sphere - legal political religious or personal - and in different contexts determined by the distinctive and changing matrix of race gender and class as well as the distinctions of free and unfree status in each colony. Early chapters in the volume show how and why the political ideological and moral stakes of the concept of honour were particularly important in colonial societies; later chapters look more closely at the social behaviour and the purchase of honour among specific groups. Collectively the chapters show that there was no clear distinction between political and social life and that honour crossed between the public and private spheres. This exciting new collection brings together new and established historians of Australia and South Africa to highlight thought-provoking parallels and contrasts between the Cape and Australian colonies that will be of interest to all scholars of colonial societies and the concept of honour. | Honourable Intentions?

Arts and Cultural Management: Sense and Sensibilities in the State of the Field opens a conversation that is much needed for anyone identifying arts management or cultural management as primary areas of research teaching or practice. In the evolution of any field arises the need for scrutiny reflection and critique as well as to display the advancements and diversity in approaches and thinking that contribute to a discipline’s forward progression. While no one volume could encompass all that a discipline is or should be a representational snapshot serves as a valuable benchmark. This book is addressed to those who operate as researchers scholars and practitioners of arts and cultural management. Driven by concerns about quality of life globalization development of economies education of youth the increasing mobility of cultural groups and many other significant issues of the twenty-first century governments and individuals have increasingly turned to arts and culture as means of mitigating or resolving tough policy issues. For their growth arts and culture sectors depend on people in positions of leadership and management who play a significant role in the creation production exhibition dissemination interpretation and evaluation of arts and culture experiences for publics and policies. Less than a century old as a formal field of inquiry however arts and cultural management has been in flux since its inception. What is arts and cultural management? remains an open question. A comprehensive literature on the discipline as an object of study is still developing. This State of the Discipline offers a benchmark for those interested in the evolution and development of arts and cultural management as a branch of knowledge alongside more established disciplines of research and scholarship. | Arts and Cultural Management Sense and Sensibilities in the State of the Field
