Book Synopsis Character Constellations by : Roel Smeets
Download or read book Character Constellations written by Roel Smeets and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction has a major social impact, not least because it co-shapes the image that society has of various social groups. Drawing on a collection of 170 contemporary Dutch-language novels, Character Constellations presents a range of data-driven, statistical models to study depictions of characters in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, and other identity categories. Incorporating the tools of network analysis, each chapter highlights an aspect of fictional social networks that affects the representation of social groups: their centrality, their communities, and their conflicts. While reading individual novels in light of emerging statistical patterns, combining the formal methods of social network analysis with the interpretive tools of narratology, this study shows how central societal themes such as (in)equality and emancipation, integration and segregation, and social mobility and class struggle are foregrounded, replicated, or distorted in the Dutch novel. Showcasing what character-based critiques of literary representation gain by integrating data-driven methods into the practice of critical close reading, Character Constellations contributes to societal debates on cultural representation and identity and the role

Book Synopsis Exploring Positive Relationships at Work by : Jane E. Dutton
Download or read book Exploring Positive Relationships at Work written by Jane E. Dutton and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume brings together a select group of leading organizational scholars for the purpose of developing a foundation-setting book on positive relationships at work. Positive Relationships at Work (PRW) is a rich new interdisciplinary domain of inquiry that focuses on the generative processes, relational mechanisms and outcomes associated with positive relationships between people at work. This volume builds a solid foundation for this promising new area of scholarly inquiry and offers a multidisciplinary exploration of how relationships at work become a source of growth, vitality, learning and generative states of human and collective flourishing. A unique feature of the book is the use of a connecting commentator chapter at the end of each section. The Commentator Chapters, written by preeminent scholars, uncover and discuss integrative themes that emerge within sections. The editors approach the topic from multiple levels, each level providing critical, valuable insights into the dynamic process underlying positive relationships at work. These levels are arranged in five parts: an introduction to positive relationships at work; Individuals and Dyads; Groups and Communities; Organizations and Organizing; and a conclusion that offers an engaging invitation and multi-level map for guiding future research. This volume will appeal to academics and practitioners, as well as scholars and graduate students in organizational psychology, management, human resources, and inter-personal communications.
Book Synopsis Developing a Kingdom Mind-Set by : Lou Jean Turner
Download or read book Developing a Kingdom Mind-Set written by Lou Jean Turner and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the natural world, the process of appropriating a place for ones own use involves planning, organization, and strategies for implementation. Getting to know the people, language, and culture is a valuable asset for effective communication. Possibly the greatest need in succeeding is the provision of a leader to act or speak on behalf of the new government. A person who is knowledgeable of the government and loyal to its king would be an ideal candidate. The key here seems to be an acknowledgment of and commitment to the process. We first see the process of colonization as Gods choice to make earth an extension of heaventhe place created for Him. God is a spirit, and therefore, we understand that He lives in a spiritual place. It is invisible. The extension, however, is visible. It is a garden given to His creation, humankind, with instructions. There is evidence that socialization, education, empowerment, and complementary relationships are parts of the preparation process of those who are made representatives of heavens government. Gods design for teaching humankind to think like He thinks is the perfect blue-print. It seems that as believers, children of God, and kingdom citizens, we have not completed the process. We must move from being believers to kingdom representatives. We must learn to think like our King, which will be reflected in our behavior. Having developed a kingdom mind-set, we must then help other believers experience the process.
Book Synopsis Boundary Spanners of Humanity by : R. S. Zaharna
Download or read book Boundary Spanners of Humanity written by R. S. Zaharna and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Boundary Spanners of Humanity tackles the growing severity of global problems and our strained ability to collaborate by critically re-examining two pivotal tools: communication and public diplomacy. R.S. Zaharna, a leading scholar of public diplomacy and international strategic communication, exposes the limitations of intercultural communication and state-based public diplomacy and proposes a pan-human vision of communication that can revolutionize how we communicate globally. The book reveals how dominant views of communication and public diplomacy are based on a 19th-century mindset of separateness that clashes with today's global connectivity and diversity. In a radical break from outdated models that divide humanity into cultural categories, Zaharna introduces a vision of humanity-centered public diplomacy featuring three complementary logics of communication. Used together, these communication logics are key to leveraging diversity, navigating connectivity, and enhancing our capacity for collaboration. Zaharna's innovative approach stems from decade-long, interdisciplinary research spanning ancient cosmologies, diverse intellectual heritages, contemporary social science, and emerging neuro-biological science. Boundary Spanners of Humanity provides a rich array of examples from ancient diplomacies to the covid-19 pandemic to illustrate a vision of pan-human communication that spans our diversity and harnesses it as an essential strength in collective problem solving and global collaboration"--
Book Synopsis Even If it Costs Me My Life by : Stephan Hausner
Download or read book Even If it Costs Me My Life written by Stephan Hausner and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family constellations work has broadened and developed in many different fields as a method of counseling and therapy. In addition to constellations in organizations and schools, applying this approach to working with illness and disease has expanded the potential for healing effects in the field of medicine as well. A view of transgenerational entanglements and family dynamics casts a new light on health and disease, and the insights gained from constellations with illness and health problems have led to a more holistic view of those who are ill. In Even if it Costs me my Life, Stephan Hausner aims to provide a picture of the healing potential of systemic constellations, entering into the reciprocal effects of family dynamics and illness. Extensive use of case studies demonstrates this technique in action, revealing how existing illnesses and pathologies are rooted within the family dynamic, and setting up healing postures to facilitate growth, development, and direction.

Book Synopsis How Matter Matters by : Paul R. Carlile
Download or read book How Matter Matters written by Paul R. Carlile and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although human lives towards the second half of the twentieth century became increasingly mediated by objects and artifacts and have depended heavily on the functioning of technical systems, materiality in a broad sense became relatively marginalized as a topic of research interest. This volume contributes to redressing the balance by drawing together the work of scholars involved in exploring the sociomaterial dimensions of organizational life. It will look at the way material objects and artifacts are conceived in organizations, and how they function in interaction with human agents. The book offers a new conceptual repertoire and vocabulary that allows deeper thought and discussion about the inherent entanglement of the social and material. Like the preceding volumes in the Perspectives on Process Organization Studies series, the book displays the richness that characterizes process thinking, and combines philosophical reflections with novel conceptual perspectives and insightful empirical analyses.
Book Synopsis Object Relations Psychotherapy by : Cheryl Glickauf-Hughes
Download or read book Object Relations Psychotherapy written by Cheryl Glickauf-Hughes and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1997 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Glickauf-Hughes and Wells present a clear and well-organized review of personality development according to object relations theorists. They offer an explanation and critique of each major theorist, note issues on which there is disagreement (along with areas of investigation not fully explored), and present implications for treatment. Concepts are well defined, and one gets the sense of a cohesive body of knowledge (possibly more cohesive than it actually is). Those unfamiliar with object-relations theory will have a good outline; those who know enough to be confused will find some clarification." —Journal of Psychotherapy Practice and Research
Book Synopsis Integrative Theory and Practice in Psychological Therapies by : Maria Luca
Download or read book Integrative Theory and Practice in Psychological Therapies written by Maria Luca and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich and evidence-informed collection of personal accounts on becoming an integrative practitioner in psychotherapy and counselling psychology. This book will help trainees and practitioners develop a deep understanding of integrative theory and practice. Introducing the idea of an ‘embodied relational integrative practitioner’ will help inform your understanding on how to develop professionalism and competency and learn to work effectively as an integrative counsellor or therapist. The authors expertly clarify the theory, invite reflection on key issues, examine the history and recent developments of the integrative approach and offer new concepts and practical frameworks. Each author shares their unique, individualised approach to integration, providing new directions in the field. They capture the fluid and ever-evolving nature of psychological journeys, through clinical illustrations that navigate between concepts and practice. In doing so, the authors move beyond prescribed integrative approaches and encourage clinicians to be the architects of their own practice. • Provides an overview of current theories addressing the challenges and benefits of integrative practice. • Explores the philosophical foundations of models of counselling and psychotherapy. • Discusses the professional issues faced by integrative practitioners. • Introduces a new way of doing integration: embodiment. • Applies theory to real-world experiences, showing integration in practice and there-and-then dilemmas. ‘I deeply regret that I did not have access to such a brilliant and forward-thinking book when I first entered the psychotherapy field. [The authors] have produced the gold-standard textbook on integration in psychotherapy, providing us not only with solid theoretical models but, also, with moving personal testimonies about the ways in which practitioners can benefit from the best theories and practices in our profession, without having to become too secularised and segmented. I applaud the authors for their creative work, which will help to train a whole new generation.’ Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow, Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology, London, UK and Trustee, United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy ‘In a time of seemingly intractable and widening divisions and extremisms, voices expressing the virtues of integration and dialogue are increasingly necessary. This is no less true in the fields of psychotherapy and counselling. Luca, Marshall and Nuttall have produced a text that clearly demonstrates the benefits of an integrative approach to theory and practice. The heart of this text is the necessity for each therapist, regardless of their initial training and preferred model(s), to develop their own personal integrative and embodied way of working. In my view, both experienced therapists and those in training will want this book ready to hand. Highly recommended!’ Professor Michael Worrell, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Head of Department, Postgraduate CBT Training, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Book Synopsis Border Identifications by : Pablo Vila
Download or read book Border Identifications written by Pablo Vila and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-06-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From poets to sociologists, many people who write about life on the U.S.-Mexico border use terms such as "border crossing" and "hybridity" which suggest that a unified culture—neither Mexican nor American, but an amalgamation of both—has arisen in the borderlands. But talking to people who actually live on either side of the border reveals no single commonly shared sense of identity, as Pablo Vila demonstrated in his book Crossing Borders, Reinforcing Borders: Social Categories, Metaphors, and Narrative Identities on the U.S.-Mexico Frontier. Instead, people living near the border, like people everywhere, base their sense of identity on a constellation of interacting factors that includes regional identity, but also nationality, ethnicity, and race. In this book, Vila continues the exploration of identities he began in Crossing Borders, Reinforcing Borders by looking at how religion, gender, and class also affect people's identifications of self and "others" among Mexican nationals, Mexican immigrants, Mexican Americans, Anglos, and African Americans in the Cuidad Juárez-El Paso area. Among the many fascinating issues he raises are how the perception that "all Mexicans are Catholic" affects Mexican Protestants and Pentecostals; how the discourse about proper gender roles may feed the violence against women that has made Juárez the "women's murder capital of the world"; and why class consciousness is paradoxically absent in a region with great disparities of wealth. His research underscores the complexity of the process of social identification and confirms that the idealized notion of "hybridity" is only partially adequate to define people's identity on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Download or read book Act as a Feminist written by Lisa Peck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Act as a Feminist maps a female genealogy of UK actor training practices from 1970 to 2020 as an alternative to traditional male lineages. It re-orientates thinking about acting through its intersections with feminisms and positions it as a critical pedagogy, fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. The book draws attention to the pioneering contributions women have made to actor training, highlights the importance of recognising the political potential of acting, and problematises the inequities for a female majority inspired to work in an industry where they remain a minority. Part One opens up the epistemic scope, shaping a methodology to evaluate the critical potential of pedagogic practice. It argues that feminist approaches offer an alternative affirmative position for training, a via positiva and a way to re-make mimesis. In Part Two, the methodology is applied to the work of UK women practitioners through analysis of the pedagogic exchange in training grounds. Each chapter focuses on how the broad curriculum of acting intersects with gender as technique to produce a hidden curriculum, with case studies on Jane Boston and Nadine George (voice), Niamh Dowling and Vanessa Ewan (movement), Alison Hodge and Kristine Landon-Smith (acting), and Katie Mitchell and Emma Rice (directing). The book concludes with a feminist manifesto for change in acting. Written for students, actors, directors, teachers of acting, voice, and movement, and anyone with an interest in feminisms and critical pedagogies, Act as a Feminist offers new ways of thinking and approaches to practice.
Book Synopsis Migration and Modernities by : DeLucia JoEllen DeLucia
Download or read book Migration and Modernities written by DeLucia JoEllen DeLucia and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recovers a comparative literary history of migrationThis collection initiates transnational, transcultural and interdisciplinary conversations about migration in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Migrants are by definition liminal, and many have existed historically in the murky spaces between nations, regions or ethnicities. These essays together traverse the globe, revealing the experiences - real or imagined - of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century migrants, from dispossessed Native Americans to soldiers in South America, Turkish refugees to Scottish settlers. They explore the aesthetic and rhetorical frameworks used to represent migrant experiences during a time when imperial expansion and technological developments made the fortunes of some migrants and made exiles out of others. These frameworks continue to influence the narratives we tell ourselves about migration today and were crucial in producing a distinctively modern subjectivity in which mobility and rootlessness have become normative.Key FeaturesOffers a comparative framework for understanding the modern history of migration and the aesthetics of mobilityForegrounds interdisciplinary debates about belonging, rights, and citizenshipDemonstrates how mobility unsettles the national, cultural, racialized, and gendered frames we often use to organize literary and historical studyBrings together scholars from the US and Europe to explore the connections between migrant experiences and the emergence of modernityEmphasizes the globalism of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries
