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-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

Post-tensioning is the most versatile form of pre-stressing a technique which enables engineers to make the most effective use of the material properties of concrete and so to design structural elements which are strong slender and efficient. Design in post-tensioned concrete is not difficult and if done properly can contribute significantly to the economy and the aesthetic qualities of a building. Post-tensioned floors have found widespread use in office buildings and car park structures and are also frequently employed in warehouses and public buildings. However in spite of this most prestressed concrete texts devote comparatively little attention to floors concentrating instead on beam elements. This book answers the need for a comprehensive treatment of post-tensioned floor design. | Post-Tensioned Concrete Floors

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

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.

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.
