The Kalamari Union: Middle Class in East and West

The Kalamari Union: Middle Class in East and West

First published in 1998 this volume asks: are new social classes in the making in eastern Europe? Are class issues withering away? How do different classes organize their lives what kind of strategies do they adopt in East and West. Markku Kivinen brings Eastern Europe into the class debate. Recent sociological discussions have touched upon questions of class in Eastern Europe only very provisionally. On the other hand old analyses of social stratification under conditions of 'actually existed socialism' are no longer relevant in the current situation. This book analyses processes of class relations in Eastern Europe from new theoretical vantage-points using up-to-date empirical data. Under socialism power was said to be vested in the working class. However there was a constant tension between the 'holy proletariat' and the real life of the working class. Today all political forces in Eastern Europe; leftist and liberal alike are hankering for the middle class. This book explores the real processes in both East and West. This leads to more concrete political and even moral issues. The new 'sacred middle class' is challenged. The contributors adopt several conceptual approaches and perspectives which enter into a fruitful exchange in this book. | The Kalamari Union: Middle Class in East and West

The Silent Selkie A Storybook to Support Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma

The Silent Selkie A Storybook to Support Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma

The Silent Selkie describes a character who is unable to communicate in words and whose only way of communicating is through the weather which leads to disastrous consequences not only for the Selkie but also for everyone around her. But behind her golden scales the Selkie hides a secret wound that even she is unaware of and it is only when the Selkie’s skin becomes uncovered by the force of the sea that she remembers the terrible story of what caused her hurt long ago. Only then can the Selkie come to terms with her wound and begin a journey of healing that will bring her face-to-face with what she has needed all along. Beautifully illustrated and sensitively written The Silent Selkie deals with the effects of trauma on a young person – including hypersensitivity and emotional reactivity. The story uses the metaphor of trauma as a ‘hidden wound’ which in reality is an emotional or psychological pain that needs both acknowledgement and expression within the context of a safe supportive environment in which to begin to heal. This colourful storybook: Helps adults provide a safe environment for children to use non-verbal expression to communicate experiences that may be difficult to talk about. Uses creative metaphors and symbols to offer children a supportive way to communicate whilst maintaining a safe distance from the source of their emotional pain. Inspires and empowers children to begin their journey of healing. The Silent Selkie encourages young people who may have adverse childhood experiences or trauma to develop greater understanding of how this can affect them and is ideal reading for those working with vulnerable children and young people seeking to use the expressive arts to develop greater emotional literacy in children with a background of trauma. For effective use this book should be purchased alongside the guidebook. Both books can be purchased together as a set Supporting Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma 978-0-367-63944-0 | The Silent Selkie A Storybook to Support Children and Young People Who Have Experienced Trauma

Stone Age Economics

Stone Age Economics

Since its first publication over forty years ago Marshall Sahlins's Stone Age Economics has established itself as a classic of modern anthropology and arguably one of the founding works of anthropological economics. Ambitiously tackling the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively Sahlins radically revises traditional views of the hunter-gatherer and so-called primitive societies revealing them to be the original affluent society. Sahlins examines notions of production distribution and exchange in early communities and examines the link between economics and cultural and social factors. A radical study of tribal economies domestic production for livelihood and of the submission of domestic production to the material and political demands of society at large Stone Age Economics regards the economy as a category of culture rather than behaviour in a class with politics and religion rather than rationality or prudence. Sahlins concludes controversially that the experiences of those living in subsistence economies may actually have been better healthier and more fulfilled than the millions enjoying the affluence and luxury afforded by the economics of modern industrialisation and agriculture. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by David Graeber London School of Economics.

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

The rapid development and the growing penetration of information and communication technologies (ICT) provide tremendous opportunities for a wide and cost effective application of the ideas of participative democracy and public participation in government decision and policy making. ICT can drive dramatic transformations in the quantity and quality of communication and interaction of government organizations with citizens revitalizing and strengthening the modern representative democracy which currently faces big problems of reduced citizens’ trust and involvement. This book deals with the application of these e-participation ideas in the special and ‘difficult’ and at the same time highly interesting national context of Southern Europe and the Balkans. The first chapter provides an overview of e-participation concepts and practices whilst the following chapters analyse pilot applications of e-participation concepts in eight different Southern European and Balkan countries (Spain France Italy Slovenia Serbia Albania Greece Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)). They cover both the ‘classical’ e-participation paradigm based on official e-participation spaces created operated and controlled by government organizations as well as emerging new e-participation paradigms including e-participation based on web 2. 0 social media and ‘scientific-level’ e-participation based on opening government data to the scientific community. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies. | E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media
