Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour

Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour

Shakespeare and Emotional Expression offers an exciting new way of considering emotional transactions in Shakespearean drama. The book is significant in its scope and originality as it uses the innovative medium of colour terms and references to interrogate the early modern emotional register. By examining contextual and cultural influences this work explores the impact these influences have on the relationship between colour and emotion and argues for the importance of considering chromatic references as a means to uncover emotional significances. Using a broad range of documents it offers a wider understanding of affective expression in the early modern period through a detailed examination of several dramatic works. Although colour meanings fluctuate by paying particular attention to contextual clues and the historically specific cultural situations of Shakespeare’s plays this book uncovers emotional significances that are not always apparent to modern audiences and readers. Through its examination of the nexus between the history of emotions and the social and cultural uses of colour in early modern drama Shakespeare and Emotional Expression adds to our understanding of the expressive and affective possibilities in Shakespearean drama. | Shakespeare and Emotional Expression Finding Feeling through Colour

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

In the decade since Kevin Hylton’s seminal book ‘Race’ and Sport: Critical Race Theory was published racialised issues have remained at the forefront of sport and leisure studies. In this important new book Hylton draws on original research in contemporary contexts from sport coaching to cyberspace to show once again that Critical Race Theory is an insightful and productive tool for interrogating problematic social phenomena.

Du Bois’ statement that the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line this book sheds a critical light on the way sport perpetuates racism while identifying opportunities to challenge its insidious presence. Exploring and explaining the ways in which notions of ‘race’ are expressed and contested at individual institutional and societal levels it addresses key topics such as whiteness diversity colourblindness unconscious bias identity leadership humour and discourse to investigate how language can be used as a device for resistance against racism in sport. Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport: Shaming the Colour Line is vital reading for all sport studies students academics and those with an interest in race ethnicity and society. Chapter 7 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4. 0 license. | Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

Sensory-Based Relational Art Therapy Approach (S-BRATA) Supporting Psycho-Emotional Needs in Children with Autism

This book bridges art therapy practice and research by presenting sensory-based relational art therapy approach (S-BRATA) a clinically tested framework for working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that explicitly addresses sensory dysfunction and its impact on impaired attachment.

Clinicians students and parents alike will benefit from the text’s clear outline for relational development with individuals on the spectrum and its emphasis on the importance of the psycho-emotional health of a child with ASD. | Sensory-Based Relational Art Therapy Approach (S-BRATA) Supporting Psycho-Emotional Needs in Children with Autism

Soviet Society And Culture Essays In Honor Of Vera S. Dunham

Soviet Society And Culture Essays In Honor Of Vera S. Dunham

Academic analysis has not always kept pace with the dramatic changes that have occurred in the USSR since Stalin’s time for objective study has often been overshadowed—especially in the 1980s—by publicity concerning the negative aspects of the “Evil Empire. ” Recently however because of reforms initiated by Gorbachev the dynamics of the Soviet system have come into sharper focus. This book provides a wide-ranging detailed view of economic social ideological and literary aspects of the Soviet system leading up to the Gorbachev era. The essays include both historical and contemporary perspectives on the sources of stability (and stagnation) in the post-Stalin years. Examining the intricate fabric of Soviet society the contributors provide insights into the social and cultural motivations for Gorbachev’s “restructuring” policies. Their themes echo the work of Vera S. Dunham who for more than four decades has focused on diverse aspects of Soviet society and culture particularly on the noncoercive means of social control that have often been overlooked but that are a vital component of the Soviet system. | Soviet Society And Culture Essays In Honor Of Vera S.

A Competitive Assessment Of The U.S. Civil Aircraft Industry

A Competitive Assessment Of The U.S. Civil Aircraft Industry

In 1985 the U. S. aerospace industry achieved a $13. 1 billion trade surplus and contributed $89. 2 billion in shipments to the U. S. economy. Without·aerospace the U. S. trade balance in high technology industries would-for the first time-have fallen into a deficit. Civil aircraft play a significant role in the U. S. aerospace industry and U. S. civil aircraft have dominated world markets (particularly the large transport segment) since the development of jet engine aircraft in the 1950s. This dominance has recently been challenged by the emergence of the European Airbus Industrie which has achieved a significant market position in wide-body aircraft and appears committed to the development of a diversified family of civil aircraft. Industry observers are also concerned about the possibility of Japan entering the large transport competition. In this assessment the U. S. Department of Commerce examines the prospects for continued international competitiveness of U. S. civil aircraft. The report identifies key factors that will determine the shape of future competition develops alternative scenarios for the future and presents-a framework within which developments can be monitored and measured. | A Competitive Assessment Of The U.
