Kama Muta Discovering the Connecting Emotion

Kama Muta Discovering the Connecting Emotion

This book describes a ubiquitous and potent emotion that has only rarely and recently been studied in any systematic manner. The words that come closest to denoting it in English are being moved or touched having a heart-warming feeling feeling nostalgic feeling patriotic or pride in family or team. In religious contexts when the emotion is intense it may be labeled ecstasy mystical rapture burning in the bosom or being touched by the Spirit. All of these are instances of what scientists now call ‘kama muta’ (Sanskrit ‘moved by love’). Alan Page Fiske shows that what evokes this emotion is the sudden creation intensification renewal repair or recall of a communal sharing relationship – when love ignites or people feel newly connected. He explains the social psychological cultural and likely evolutionary processes involved – and how they interlock. Kama muta is described as it manifests in diverse settings at many points in history across scores of cultures in everyday experiences as well as the peak moments of life. The chapters illuminate the occurrence of kama muta in a range of contexts including religion oratory literature sport social media and nature. The book will be of interest to students and scholars from a number of disciplines who are interested in emotion or social relationships.

Management and Neoliberalism Connecting Policies and Practices

Management and Neoliberalism Connecting Policies and Practices

After the financial collapse of 2008 and the bailing out of banks in the US and the UK the long-term viability of the neoliberal doctrine has come under new scrutiny. The elimination of regulatory control the financialization of the economy including the growth of increasingly complex financial innovations and the dominance of a rentier class have all been subject to thorough criticism. Despite the unexpected meltdown of the financial system and the substantial costs for restoring the finance industry critics contend that the same decision-makers remain in place and few substantial changes to regulatory control have been made. Even though neoliberal thinking strongly stresses the role of the market and market-based transactions the organization theory and management literature has been marginally concerned with neoliberalism as a political agenda and economic policy. This book examines the consequences of neoliberalism for management thinking and management practice. Managerial practices in organizations are fundamentally affected by a political agenda emphasizing competition and innovation. Concepts such as auditing corporate social responsibility shareholder value and boundariless careers are some examples of managerial terms and frameworks that are inextricably entangled with the neoliberal agenda. This book introduces the literature on neoliberalism its history and controversies and demonstrates where neoliberal thinking has served to rearticulate managerial practice including in the areas of corporate governance human resource management and regulatory control of organizations. | Management and Neoliberalism Connecting Policies and Practices

Becoming a Reading Teacher Connecting Research and Practice

Becoming a Reading Teacher Connecting Research and Practice

This book encourages readers to think about reading not only as an encounter with written language but as a lifelong habit of engagement with ideas. We look at reading in four different ways: as linguistic process personal experience collective experience and as classroom practice.

Connecting People with Technology Issues in Professional Communication

Connecting People with Technology Issues in Professional Communication

This book explores five important areas where technology affects society and suggests ways in which human communication can facilitate the use of that technology. Usability has become a foundational discipline in technical and professional communication that grows out of our rhetorical roots which emphasize purpose and audience. As our appreciation of audience has grown beyond engineers and scientists to lay users of technology our appreciation of the diversity of those audiences in terms of age geography and other factors has similarly expanded. We are also coming to grips with what Thomas Friedman calls the 'flat world ' a paradigm that influences how we communicate with members of other cultures and speakers of other languages. And because most of the flatteners are either technologies themselves or technology-driven technical and professional communicators need to leverage these technologies to serve global audiences. Similarly we are inundated with information about world crises involving health and safety issues. These crises are driven by the effects of terrorism the aging population HIV/AIDS and both human-made and natural disasters. These issues are becoming more visible because they are literally matters of life and death. Furthermore they are of special concern to audiences that technical and professional communicators have little experience targeting - the shapers of public policy seniors adolescents and those affected by disaster. Biotechnology is another area that has provided new roles for technical and professional communicators. We are only beginning to understand how to communicate the science accurately without either deceiving or panicking our audience. We need to develop a more sophisticated understanding of how communication can shape reactions to biotechnology developments. Confronting this complex network of issues we're challenged to fashion both our message and the audience's perceptions ethically. Finally today's corporate environment is being shaped by technology and the global nature of business. Technical and professional communicators can play a role in capturing and managing knowledge in using technology effectively in the virtual workplace and in understanding how language shapes organizational culture. | Connecting People with Technology Issues in Professional Communication

Crime Violence and Modernity Connecting Classical and Contemporary Practice in Sociological Criminology

Crime Violence and Modernity Connecting Classical and Contemporary Practice in Sociological Criminology

This book makes an original contribution to reconnecting criminological inquiry to the core concerns of the classical sociological imagination and to the intellectual resources of comparative and historical sociology. Throughout the book Hughes challenges the long-standing division of labour in criminology and sociology more generally between ‘theory’ ‘method’ and ‘research’. Accordingly the author’s concerns here are as much about the craft and working methods of being a sociological criminologist as it is about theory and concepts. In the first half of the book the key conceptual and methodological premises of the classical sociological tradition are outlined and the latter’s potential for revitalizing contemporary criminological research-theorizing are assessed. These chapters also address the debate regarding the relationship between crime and violence and that of modernity and the Western ‘civilizing process’. In the second half of the book three areas of current criminological inquiry are explored through the lens of the long-term process-oriented and radically relational perspective of contemporary Weberian and Eliasian scholarship. Among the areas of comparative investigation explored here are street crime gangs and urban violence genocide and murderous ethnic cleansing warfare colonialism and human rights. Written in a clear and direct style this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology and all those interested in what a sociological lens brings to the practices of contemporary criminology. | Crime Violence and Modernity Connecting Classical and Contemporary Practice in Sociological Criminology

Material Politics of Citizenship Connecting Migrations with Science and Technology Studies

Material Politics of Citizenship Connecting Migrations with Science and Technology Studies

From the intersection of citizenship critical migration studies and science and technology studies (STS) this book examines across the various case studies configurations between technologies infrastructures and citizenship that may constrain acts of citizenship in migration and border regimes; constitute contestation and participation over citizenship; or enable and shape alternative acts of citizenship in migration and border regimes. Technologies and infrastructures on the border are designed to position migrants in multiple and potentially contradictory forms; migrants crossing the border in their turn may choose to challenge and repurpose those technologies and infrastructures to match their interests. By elaborating on the notion of ‘material citizenship politics’ the contributors provide a detailed analysis of socio-material practices on the border that moves beyond portraying migrants as mere victims of border technologies and migration infrastructures and anchors critique on the inside of those practices. The chapters in this volume hope to contribute to setting the research agenda and to stimulate further research along these lines revisiting the (in)visibilities of migrant subjects along technologies and infrastructures. As the current pandemic unfolds exposing societal vulnerabilities this book highlights the need to critically reflect on the establishment of existing technologies and infrastructures in order to examine to what extent those affect and shape migrant subjects in particular but may also be extended and used on wider populations after being tested and normalized on vulnerable subjects. This book will be of interest to a broad readership across the social sciences including scholars working in Critical Migration and Border Studies Citizenship Studies Critical Security Studies and Science and Technology Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Citizenship Studies. | Material Politics of Citizenship Connecting Migrations with Science and Technology Studies

An Introduction to the Cognitive Science of Religion Connecting Evolution Brain Cognition and Culture

An Introduction to the Cognitive Science of Religion Connecting Evolution Brain Cognition and Culture

In recent decades a new scientific approach to understand explain and predict many features of religion has emerged. The cognitive science of religion (CSR) has amassed research on the forces that shape the tendency for humans to be religious and on what forms belief takes. It suggests that religion like language or music naturally emerges in humans with tractable similarities. This new approach has profound implications for how we understand religion including why it appears so easily and why people are willing to fight—and die—for it. Yet it is not without its critics and some fear that scholars are explaining the ineffable mystery of religion away or showing that religion is natural proves or disproves the existence of God. An Introduction to the Cognitive Science of Religion offers students and general readers an accessible introduction to the approach providing an overview of key findings and the debates that shape it. The volume includes a glossary of key terms and each chapter includes suggestions for further thought and further reading as well as chapter summaries highlighting key points. This book is an indispensable resource for introductory courses on religion and a much-needed option for advanced courses. | An Introduction to the Cognitive Science of Religion Connecting Evolution Brain Cognition and Culture

Japan and the IISS Connecting Western and Japanese Strategic Thought from the Cold War to the War on Ukraine

Japan and the IISS Connecting Western and Japanese Strategic Thought from the Cold War to the War on Ukraine

Strategic links between Japan and Europe during the Cold War were limited. During this period the IISS helped bridge the gap between the two exposing its membership base to the international affairs of Asia and Japan and providing Japanese scholars strategists and diplomats with a platform from which to amplify their voices in the West. Analyses by these experts often appeared in IISS publications but the Institute also gained key insights through its well-established conferences and lecture series. These initiatives illuminated Japanese strategic thinking and perspectives on contemporary critical issues in Japan’s and Asia’s foreign security and defence policy. This Adelphi book through its collection of earlier analysis helps the reader to understand the evolution of Japanese strategic thought from the 1960s until today and shines a light on the continuities and changes in this thinking. New original analysis of the material seeks to identify areas where such thinking was prescient and remains relevant to the contemporary strategic environment and other areas where predictions failed or assumptions were proved wrong. These new essays were also informed by interviews of Japanese senior scholars and diplomats who spent time with the IISS. This book seeks to frame educate and guide strategic thinking on the most pressing issues of today both in and outside Japan and Asia and will be of great interest to analysts practitioners and students of international affairs. | Japan and the IISS Connecting Western and Japanese Strategic Thought from the Cold War to the War on Ukraine

Working with Young Children in Museums Weaving Theory and Practice

Working with Young Children in Museums Weaving Theory and Practice

Working with Young Children in Museums makes a major contribution to the small body of extant research on young children in museums galleries and heritage sites. Bridging theory and practice the book introduces theoretical concepts in a clear and concise manner whilst also providing inspirational insights into everyday programming in museums. Structured around three key themes this volume seeks to diverge from the dominant socio-cultural learning models that are generally employed in the museum learning literature. It introduces a body of theories that have variously been called new materialist spatial posthuman and Deleuzian; theories which enable a focus on the body movement and place and which have not yet been widely shared or developed with the museum sector or explicitly connected to practice. This book outlines these theories in an accessible way explaining their usefulness for conceptualising young children in museums and connecting them to practical examples of programming in a range of locations via a series of contributed case studies. Connecting theory to practice for readers in a way that emphasises possibility Working with Young Children in Museums should be essential reading for museum practitioners working in a range of institutions around the world. It should be of equal interest to researchers and students engaged in the study of museum learning early childhood education and children’s experiences in museums. | Working with Young Children in Museums Weaving Theory and Practice

Behind Architectural Filters Phenomena of Interference

Behind Architectural Filters Phenomena of Interference

Behind Architectural Filters: Phenomena of Interference explores the active role of architectural filters in generating physically and sensory charged spatial experiences. The book addresses how the material and the psychological strategies of permeable physical boundaries determine our perceptual experiences of the spaces we occupy. This book explores architectural filters as connecting mechanisms capable of conjuring unique atmospheres that integrate the participation of several agents. The text analyzes ten case studies grouped under five generative parameters: origin density thickness function and message. Each study investigates the main aspects of the filters’ internal genesis and the character of the spaces informed by them. The cases illustrate a broad geographic cultural and historical scope and connect past tradition with contemporary design. This methodology considers a historical and philosophical standpoint addressing vernacular constructive sustainable and sensory considerations. Written for students and scholars of architectural history theory art design and philosophy Behind Architectural Filters: Phenomena of Interference offers an unprecedented perspective on the production of spatial atmospheres bridging past and present while connecting thought and practice in a highly visual study.

Micro-geographies of the Western City c.1750–1900

Micro-geographies of the Western City c.1750–1900

This book examines the overlapping spaces in modern Western cities to explore the small-scale processes that shaped these cities between c. 1750 and 1900. It highlights the ways in which time and space matter framing individual actions and practices and their impact on larger urban processes. It draws on the original and detailed studies of cities in Europe and North America through a micro-geographical approach to unravel urban practices experiences and representations at three different scales: the dwelling the street and the neighbourhood. Part I explores the changing spatiality of housing examining the complex and contingent relationship between public and private and commercial and domestic as well as the relationship between representations and lived experiences. Part II delves into the street as a thoroughfare connecting the city but also as a site of contestation over the control and character of urban spaces. Part III draws attention to the neighbourhood as a residential grouping and as a series of spaces connecting flows of people integrating the urban space. Drawing on a range of methodologies from space syntax and axial analysis to detailed descriptions of individual buildings this book blends spatial theory and ideas of place with micro-history. With its fresh perspectives on the Western city created through the built environment and the everyday actions of city dwellers the book will interest historical geographers urban historians and architects involved in planning of cities across Europe and North America. | Micro-geographies of the Western City c. 1750–1900

Dialogical Networks Using the Past in Contemporary Research

Dialogical Networks Using the Past in Contemporary Research

This book brings together two decades of work by the authors on dialogical networks showing how the concept of the dialogical network developed through series of connected case studies and clarifying the concept through historical analysis. Identifying the key characteristics of dialogical networks and showing that knowledge of them though formulated in the abstract is affected by historical contingencies it demonstrates that work on dialogical networks required the work of a practical historian connecting contemporary work to foregoing studies. As such this volume represents an original study of how doing history is a part of research and sheds light on the ways in which people use the past in their social activities. | Dialogical Networks Using the Past in Contemporary Research
