Quantitative Human Rights Measures and Measurement Current Debates and Future Directions

In this edited volume leading experts of human rights measurement address the challenges scholarship of human rights face as well as explore approaches and means to overcoming them. The book seeks to further answer three specific and related questions. First what do existing measures of human rights conditions tell us about the state of human rights? Are conditions improving or deteriorating? Second how might scholars improve their measurement efforts and observe states’ human rights practices given efforts by governments to hide human rights abuses and to make them essentially “unobservable”? Finally what challenges might scholars encounter in the future as the conceptualization of human rights develops and changes and as new methods and technologies (e. g. natural language processing machine learning) are introduced into the study of human rights? This book will be of interest to students and scholars of human rights politics power development and governance. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Human Rights. | Quantitative Human Rights Measures and Measurement Current Debates and Future Directions

The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud

The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud presents the parallels between The Guide of the Perplexed and The Interpretation of Dreams considering how Maimonides might be perceived as anticipating Freud’s much later work. The Secret Symmetry of Maimonides and Freud suggests that humankind has secrets to hide and does so by using common mechanisms and embedding revealing hints for the benefit of the true reader. Using a psychoanalytic approach in tandem with literary criticism and an in-depth assessment of Judaica Szajnberg demonstrates the similarities between these two towering Jewish intellectual pillars. Using concepts of esoteric literature from the Torah and later texts this book analyses their ideas on concealing and revealing to gain a renewed perspective on Freud’s view of dreams. Throughout Szajnberg articulates the challenges of reading translated works and how we can address the pitfalls in such translations. The book is a vital read for psychoanalysts in training and practice as well as those interested in Judaica the history of ideas and early medieval studies.

Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Renée Moreau Cunningham’s unique study utilizes the psychology of C. G. Jung and the spiritual teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to explore how nonviolence works psychologically as a form of spiritual warfare confronting and transmuting aggression. Archetypal Nonviolence uses King’s iconic march from Selma to Montgomery a demonstration which helped introduce America to nonviolent philosophy on a mass scale as a metaphor for psychological and spiritual activism on an individual and collective level. Cunningham’s work explores the core wound of racism in America on both a collective and a personal level investigating how we hide from our own potential for evil and how the divide within ourselves can be bridged. The book demonstrates that the alchemical transmutation of aggression through a nonviolent ethos as shown in the Selma marches is important to understand as a beginning to something greater within the paradox of human violence and its bedfellow nonviolence. Archetypal Nonviolence explores how we can truly transform hatred by understanding how it operates within. It will be of great interest to Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training and to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies American history race and racism and nonviolent movements. | Archetypal Nonviolence Jung King and Culture Through the Eyes of Selma

Leadership Styles and Job Performance The Impact of Fake Leadership on Organizational Reliability

Various styles of leadership have the potential for positive and negative influence on employees and organization. The monograph offers a new approach and proposes the systematic analysis of negative leadership traits and behaviors through the broadening of existing approaches (based on employees’ orientation and organizational orientation) by analyzing them together with a third dimension: leader’s traits which will allow us to analyze the intent of the leader. Based on this approach the monograph introduces the term: fake leadership characterized by an emphasis on individual goals of the leader (regardless of their importance for the organization) coupled with intentional anti-employees and anti-organizational behaviours. Such leaders operate with intent to engage in negative behaviors towards employees and organization simultaneously aiming at hiding such intent. The monograph introduces and empirically verifies various models explaining the mechanisms through which fake leadership negatively influences job performance of employees and organizational reliability based on intraorganizational trust and positive job-related attitudes (work motivation job satisfaction work engagement organizational commitment) as well as negative job-related attitudes (work disengagement job dissatisfaction work demotivation) tend to hide errors which is coupled with the number of management and employees’ errors. These models reference the concept of authentic leadership which is chosen as a positive alternative to the described fake leadership. | Leadership Styles and Job Performance The Impact of Fake Leadership on Organizational Reliability

Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography

Ethnography has a long history in the humanities and social sciences and has provided the base line in the field of police studies for over 60 years. We have recently witnessed a resurgence in ethnographic practice among police scholars and this Handbook is a response to that revival. Students and academics are returning to the ethnography arena and the study of police in situ to explain the evocative worlds of the police. The list of ethnographic sites is vast and all have fed the rejuvenation of ethnographic endeavour. Together they suggest innovation theoretical depth broad geographical boundaries multi-site experiments and multi-disciplinarity all of which are central to the exploration of police and policing in the twenty-first century. This Handbook encapsulates the revival of police ethnography by exploring its multidisciplinary field and cataloguing the ongoing ethnographic work. It offers an original and international contribution to the field of police studies and research methods providing a comprehensive and overarching guide to police ethnography. We see the previous classics in every page and still note the influence of the early ethnographers. At the same time we see the innovative breadth and diversity of these narratives. The aim of this Handbook is to highlight the mosaic that is police ethnography at a point in time and note with pleasure its contribution to the field once more. Ethnography may be messy difficult and at times uncooperative but its results offer a unique insight into the perspectives of people and organisations that can hide in plain sight. An accessible and compelling read this Handbook will provide a sound and essential reference source for academics researchers students and practitioners engaged in police and criminal justice studies. | Routledge International Handbook of Police Ethnography

Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect

This revised edition of Exercises in Architecture: Learning to Think as an Architect is full of new content building on the success of the previous edition. All the original exercises have been revised and new ones added with the format changing to allow the inclusion of more supplementary material. The aim remains the same to help pre- or early-course architecture students begin and develop their ability to think as architects. Learning to do architecture is tricky. It involves awakening abilities that remain dormant in most people. It is like learning language for the first time; a task made more mystifying by the fact that architecture deals not in words but in places: places to stand to walk to sit to hide to sleep to cook to eat to work to play to worship… This book was written for those who want to be architects. It suggests a basis for early experiences in a school of architecture; but it could also be used in secondary schools and colleges or as self-directed preparation for students in the months before entering professional education. Exercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author’s previous book Analysing Architecture: the Universal Language of Place-Making (fifth edition 2021) and demonstrated in his Twenty-Five Buildings Every Architect Should Understand (Routledge 2015). Together the three books deal with the three aspects of learning any creative discipline: 1. Analysing Architecture provides a methodology for analysis that develops an understanding of the way architecture works; 2. Twenty-Five Buildings explores and extends that methodology through analysis of examples as case studies; and 3. Exercises in Architecture offers a way of expanding understanding and developing fluency by following a range of rudimentary and more sophisticated exercises. Those who wish to become professional architects (wherever in the world they might be) must make a conscious effort to learn the universal language of architecture as place-making to explore its powers and how they might be used. The exercises in this book are designed to help. | Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect

The Uses of Literacy

This pioneering work examines changes in the life and values of the English working class in response to mass media. First published in 1957 it mapped out a new methodology in cultural studies based around interdisciplinarity and a concern with how texts-in this case mass publications-are stitched into the patterns of lived experience. Mixing personal memoir with social history and cultural critique The Uses of Literacy anticipates recent interest in modes of cultural analysis that refuse to hide the author behind the mask of objective social scientific technique. In its method and in its rich accumulation of the detail of working-class life this volume remains useful and absorbing. Hoggart's analysis achieves much of its power through a careful delineation of the complexities of working-class attitudes and its sensitivity to the physical and environmental facts of working-class life. The people he portrays are neither the sentimentalized victims of a culture of deference nor neo-fascist hooligans. Hoggart sees beyond habits to what habits stand for and sees through statements to what the statements really mean. He thus detects the differing pressures of emotion behind idiomatic phrases and ritualistic observances. Through close observation and an emotional empathy deriving in part from his own working-class background Hoggart defines a fairly homogeneous and representative group of working-class people. Against this background may be seen how the various appeals of mass publications and other artifacts of popular culture connect with traditional and commonly accepted attitudes how they are altering those attitudes and how they are meeting resistance. Hoggart argues that the appeals made by mass publicists-more insistent effective and pervasive than in the past-are moving toward the creation of an undifferentiated mass culture and that the remnants of an authentic urban culture are being destroyed. In his introduction to this new edition Andrew Goodwin professor of broadcast communications arts at San Francisco State University defines Hoggart's place among contending schools of English cultural criticism and points out the prescience of his analysis for developments in England over the past thirty years. He notes as well the fruitful links to be made between Hoggart's method and findings and aspects of popular culture in the United States.
