Resistant Islands - Gavan Mccormack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Resistant Islands - Gavan Mccormack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Now in a thoroughly updated edition, Resistant Islands offers the first comprehensive overview of Okinawan history from earliest times to the present, focusing especially on the recent period of colonization by Japan, its disastrous fate during World War II, and its current status as a glorified US military base. The base is a hot-button issue in Japan and has become more widely known in the wake of Japan’s 2011 natural disasters and the US military role in emergency relief. Okinawa rejects the base-dominated role allocated it by the US and Japanese governments under which priority attaches to its military functions, as a kind of stationary aircraft carrier. The result has been to throw US-Japan relations into crisis, bringing down one prime minister who tried to stop construction of yet another base on the island and threatening the incumbent if he is unable to deliver Okinawan approval of the new base. Okinawa thus has become a template for reassessing the troubled US-Japan relationship—indeed, the geopolitics of the US empire of bases in the Pacific.

Work and Creativity - Andre Lacocque - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Work and Creativity - Andre Lacocque - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Bible highly praises human creativity. In fact, work belongs to Adam’s very creation, homo faber in the image of deus faber (Gen. 2:15). Human production is nevertheless seen in the Bible as imbued with an ambiguous value. In Work and Creativity, André LaCocque reflects on the biblical understanding of labor, juxtaposing texts from the book of Genesis with the conceptions of work of psychoanalysts and philosophers such as Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, and proposing a dialectical approach to human work and creativity.

Resistant Bodies in the Cultural Productions of Transnational Hispanic Caribbean Women - Irune Del Rio Gabiola - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc -

Resistant Bodies in the Cultural Productions of Transnational Hispanic Caribbean Women - Irune Del Rio Gabiola - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc -

Resistant Bodies in the Cultural Productions of Transnational Hispanic Caribbean Women: Reimagining Queer Identity examines the art created by several Caribbean women who use literature, film, graphic novels, music, testimonios, photographs, etc. to convey social justice, democracy, and new ways of re/imaging marginal identities. In using Chela Sandoval’s theories on methodologies of the oppressed, Irune del Rio Gabiola argues how the tactics Sandoval offers can be productively applied to the cultural productions analyzed. The author explores how the protagonists of all the cultural productions this book focuses on developing tactics to create new possibilities and alternatives for self-fashioning. Particularly, del Rio Gabiola reconsiders concepts such as shame, failure, unbecoming, hermeneutics of love or flexible bodies as methodologies of the oppressed that propose decolonizing emancipatory techniques in a transnational arena.

The Work of Policy - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Work of Policy - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

H. K. Colebatch''s The Work of Policy provides an international perspective on the field of policy analysis. Colebatch collects voices from around the world to consider the applicability of policy models to the actual practice of policy work. International case studies demonstrate that policy work takes a variety of forms, and policy analysis plays only a small role. Claudia Scott addresses the changing nature of policy analysis in New Zealand due to changing priorities and a lack of well-funded think-tanks, while Zdravko Petak''s study of Croatia illustrates the development of policy analysis as part of a struggle to create a zone for critique outside the dominant central bureaucratic system. Other chapters, such as Kyungja Jung''s look at the development of women''s policy in South Korea, reveal the importance of understanding policy work in the context of the historical trajectory of the political process. These studies illustrate the importance of the institutional dimension in policy work: the organizational framework through which it takes place, the discourses in use, and the values that underlie both the discourses and the organization. Combining policy analysis with comparative politics, this unique collection should be read by scholars around the globe who are striving to gain a better understanding of the range of practice that makes policy.

Women Still at Work - Elizabeth F. Fideler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Women Still at Work - Elizabeth F. Fideler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

From Betty White to Toni Morrison, we’re surrounded by examples of women working well past the traditional retirement age. In fact, the fastest growing segment of the workforce is women age sixty-five and older. Women Still at Work tells the everyday stories of hard-working women and the reasons they’re still on the job, with a focus on women in the professional workforce. The book is filled with profiles of real women, working in settings from academia to drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, from business to the arts, talking about the many reasons why they still work and the impact work has on their lives. Women Still at Work draws on national survey data and in-depth interviews, showing not only the big picture of older women advancing their careers despite tough economic conditions, but also providing the personal insights of everyday working women from all parts of the country. Their stories showcase some of the key themes women choose to stay at work—including job satisfaction, diminishing retirement savings, the need to support children or parents longer in life, exercising the hard-won right to work, and more. Women Still at Work shows employment to be a positive and rewarding part of life for many women well beyond the expected retirement age.

When Work Is Not Enough - Robert P. Stoker - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

When Work Is Not Enough - Robert P. Stoker - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

" Efforts to promote work have been the centerpiece of welfare reform over the past ten years. In signing the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, President Bill Clinton pledged that the sweeping overhaul would ""end welfare as we know it"" by promoting work, responsibility, and family. To accomplish these goals, policymakers relied on two sets of tools: strict limits on eligibility for traditional benefits and a set of programs designed to make work pay. When Work Is Not Enough presents the first comprehensive analysis of the work support system. Drawing on both state and national data, Robert Stoker and Laura Wilson evaluate a broad range of policies that provide cash or in-kind benefits to low-wage workers, low-income working families, and families moving from welfare to work. These programs include minimum wage rates, Earned Income Tax Credit programs, medical assistance programs, food programs, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families earned income disregards, childcare grants, and rental assistance. Stoker and Wilson break new ground by examining the adequacy and coverage of the work support system in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. They address the prospects for reforming the system, as well as its impact on the politics of redistribution in the United States. Rich in analysis, Wh en Work Is Not Enough w ill be essential reading for anyone interested in the impact and future of welfare reform. "

The Value of Time and Leisure in a World of Work - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Value of Time and Leisure in a World of Work - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

It is a platitude that most people, as they say, ''work to live'' rather than ''live to work.'' And in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, work weeks have expanded and the divide between work time and personal time has significantly blurred due to innovations in such things as electronic communications. Concerns over the value of work in our lives, as well as with the balance or use of time between work and leisure, confront most people in contemporary society. Discussions over the values of time, leisure, and work are directly related to the time-honored question of what makes a life good. And this question is of particular interest to philosophers, especially ethicists. In this volume, leading scholars address a range of value considerations related to peoples'' thoughts and practices around time utilization, leisure, and work with masterful insight. In addressing various practical issues, these scholars demonstrate the timeless relevance and practical import of Philosophy to human lived experience.

Flexible Work Arrangements - Lisa Fisher - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Flexible Work Arrangements - Lisa Fisher - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Organizations and U.S. workers across the life course indicate increased interest in flexible work arrangements. More organizations have flexibility on the books, but rates of utilization remain low, and both workers and organizations note operational challenges and concerns. Noticing the commonality of these experiences across organizational settings and the need for more in-depth examination of workplace structure and culture not limited to circumstances immediately surrounding flexibility, Lisa Fisher set out to identify specific elements of the structure and culture of work that impeded flexibility in an organization that had a history of struggle with it. Using interviews and non-participant observation to conduct a qualitative case study, she found that the struggle, happening on the ground within the daily processes of work, was not the result of unsupportive management or overly-cautious employees. Instead, she found evidence of something much more powerful and all-encompassing: a system of silence surrounding flexibility. Fisher begins the book with a thoughtful account of the history and current state of flexibility in the U.S. within a framework that considers changing demographics, organizational perspectives, neoliberalism, globalization and lingering problems with how we think about flexibility. She then provides an in-depth analysis of the structure and culture of work at the organization studied, which culminates in a model specifying the workings of the system of silence as a phenomenon nested within the work environment and larger cultural ideas about work and workers. Fisher shows how things assumed to be unrelated to flexibility can still have bearing on the ways that an organization understands and approaches it. She thereby develops a rich, informative account of struggle and resilience, change and adaptation, confusion and sense-making, and obstacles and pathways, an account which suggests important theoretical implications and provides practical tips for organizations that are serious about flexibility.
