Small Wars and Insurgencies in Theory and Practice 1500-1850

In early modern times warfare in Europe took on many diverse and overlapping forms. Our modern notions of ‘regular’ and ‘irregular’ warfare of ‘major war’ and ‘small war’ have their roots in much greater diversity than such binary notions allow for. While insurgencies go back to time immemorial they have become conceptually fused with ‘small wars’. This is a term first used to denote special operations often carried out by military companies formed from special ethnic groups and then recruited into larger armies. In its Spanish form guerrilla the term ‘small war’ came to stand for an ideologically-motivated insurgency against the state authorities or occupying forces of another power. There is much overlap between the phenomena of irregular warfare in the sense of special operations alongside regular operations and irregular warfare of insurgents against the regular forces of a state. This book demonstrates how long the two phenomena were in flux and fed on each other from the raiding operations of the 16th century to the ‘small wars’ or special operations conducted by special units in the 19th century which existed alongside and could merge with a popular insurgency. This book is based on a special issue of the journal Small Wars & Insurgencies. | Small Wars and Insurgencies in Theory and Practice 1500-1850

Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation

Access to quality services and community infrastructure are vital parts of supporting sustainable and resilient rural and small town places. Renewing outdated infrastructure and supporting the delivery of services in rural communities present significant challenges from the constrained fiscal and policy realities of the 21st century. Drawing upon contributors from five Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries this book describes innovative service delivery and community infrastructure models that are appropriate to the contemporary rural and resource-dependent regions of developed economies. The examples show that an entrepreneurial approach to service delivery and infrastructure provision by local organizations and governments is needed. Critical economic and community development supports are crucial to assist creative and innovative sets of solutions that work for small communities. Chapters in this book argue that community development foundations for resilient rural and small town communities and regions must be co-constructed and co-delivered in partnership by both local and senior government actors in terms of both policy and committed resources. This volume will be extremely valuable for students scholars and community development practitioners exploring policy-making government initiatives and community service provision in rural and small town places. | Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation

Eroticism in Early Modern Music

Eroticism in Early Modern Music contributes to a small but significant literature on music sexuality and sex in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe. Its chapters have grown from a long dialogue between a group of scholars who employ a variety of different approaches to the repertoire: musical and visual analysis; archival and cultural history; gender studies; philology; and performance. By confronting musical literary and visual sources with historically situated analyses the book shows how erotic life and sensibilities were encoded in musical works. Eroticism in Early Modern Music will be of value to scholars and students of early modern European history and culture and more widely to a readership interested in the history of eroticism and sexuality.

Human Hierarchies A General Theory

Human beings are hierarchical animals. Always and everywhere people have developed social ranking systems. These differ dramatically in how they are organized but the underlying causal mechanisms that create and sustain them are the same. Whether they are on the top or bottom of the heap people attempt to be superior to some other persons or group. This is the root of Melvyn L. Fein's thesis presented in Human Hierarchies: A General Theory. Fein traces the development of changes from hunter-gatherer times to our own techno-commercial society. In moving from small to large communities humans went from face-to-face contests for superiority to more anonymous and symbolic ones. Societies evolved from hunting bands where the parties knew each other through big-men societies chieftainships agrarian empires patronage chains caste societies estate systems and market-oriented democracies. Where once small groupings were organized primarily by strong forces such as personal relationships the now standard large groupings are more dependent on weaker forces such as those provided by social roles. Bureaucracies and professional roles have become prominent. Bureaucracies allow large-scale organizations to maintain control of people by limiting the potential destructiveness of unregulated tests of strength and by clarifying chains of command. Their rigidity and unresponsiveness requires that they be supplemented by professional roles. At the same time a proliferation of self-motivated experts delegate authority downward thereby introducing a more flexible decentralization. This analysis is a unique and significant advance in both the sociology and anthropology of stratification among humans. | Human Hierarchies A General Theory

Loudspeaker Modelling and Design A Practical Introduction

In this book Geoff Hill demonstrates modern software and hardware being applied to the processes behind loudspeaker design and modelling. Modern computing power has progressed to the point that such analyses are now practical for any interested individual or small company.

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural

Contesting Grand Narratives of the Intercultural uses an autoethnographic account of the author’s experience of living in Iran in the 1970s to demonstrate the constant struggle to prevent the intercultural from being dominated by essentialist grand narratives that falsely define us within separate bounded national or civilisational cultures. This book provides critical insight that: DeCentres how we encounter and research the intercultural by means of a third-space methodology Recovers the figurative creative flowing and boundary-dissolving power of culture Recognises hybrid integration which enables us the choice and agency to be ourselves with others in intercultural settings Demonstrates how early native-speakerism pulls us back to essentialist large-culture blocks. Aimed at students and researchers in applied linguistics intercultural studies sociology and education this volume shows how cultural difference in stories personal space language practices and values generates unexpected and transcendent threads of experience to which we can all relate within small culture formation on the go.

Routledge Handbook of Interdisciplinary Research Methods

The landscape of contemporary research is characterized by growing interdisciplinarity and disciplinary boundaries are blurring faster than ever. Yet while interdisciplinary methods and methodological innovation in general are often presented as the ‘holy grail’ of research there are few examples or discussions of their development and ‘behaviour’ in the field. This Routledge Handbook of Interdisciplinary Research presents a bold intervention by showcasing a diversity of stimulating approaches. Over 50 experienced researchers illustrate the challenges but also the rewards of doing and representing interdisciplinary research through their own methodological developments. Featured projects cover a variety of scales and topics from small art-science collaborations to the ‘big data’ of mass observations. Each section is dedicated to an aspect of data handling from collection classification validation to communication to research audiences. Most importantly Interdisciplinary Methods presents a distinctive approach through its focus on knowledge as process defamiliarising and reworking familiar practices such as experimenting archiving observing prototyping or translating. | Routledge Handbook of Interdisciplinary Research Methods
