The Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier

The Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier

Despite the existence of two barrier systems in the brain research over the last century has mostly focused on the blood-brain barrier rather than on the blood-CSF barrier. Today there is a greater understanding of the function of the blood-CSF barrier and of the choroid plexus a tissue that is the primary site of this barrier. With the growing number of studies that focus on the role of the blood-CSF barrier in CNS homeostasis and neurological disorders a modern overview of the blood-CSF barrier is long overdue. The Blood-Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier is exclusively devoted to the blood-CSF barrier. Internationally renowned experts discuss the most recent progress in the field of choroid plexus physiology and update our knowledge of the function of the blood-CSF barrier. The book begins with an overview of the development and morphology of the choroid plexus and then covers various aspects of its function such as the regulation of choroidal blood flow ion transport and the production and transport of polypeptides. Following an extensive section on the role of the choroid plexus in CNS disorders the final section discusses in vitro in vivo and in situ models of the blood-CSF barrier. This unique book analyzes a wealth of new research on the proven and potential roles of the choroid plexus/blood-CSF barrier in the brain. It is a valuable resource that will foster future studies in neuroscience pharmacology and toxicology.

Bridging Fluid Borders Entanglements in the French-Brazilian Borderland

Bridging Fluid Borders Entanglements in the French-Brazilian Borderland

Interweaving rich ethnographic descriptions with an innovative theoretical approach this book explores and unsettles conventional maps and understandings of Europe and the Americas. Through an examination of the recently inaugurated cross-border bridge between France’s overseas department of French Guiana and Brazil’s northern state of Amapá which effectively acts as a one-way street and serves to perpetuate inequalities in a historically deeply entangled region it foregrounds the ways in which borderland inhabitants such as indigenous women illegalised migrants and local politicians deal with these inequalities and the increasingly closed Amazonian border in everyday life. A study that challenges the coloniality of memory this volume shows how the borderland along and across the Oyapock River far from being the hinterland of France and Brazil in fact illuminates entangled histories and their concomitant inequalities on a large scale. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology and border studies with interests in postcolonialism memory and inequality. | Bridging Fluid Borders Entanglements in the French-Brazilian Borderland

Queer Teaching - Teaching Queer

Queer Teaching - Teaching Queer

This book draws upon contemporary Irish and international research which explores the critical interplay between education studies and sexualities. Scholars from Ireland Canada Spain the U. K. and Sweden employ the conceptual lens of Queer Theory to interrogate and destabilise long-standing regimes of truth/knowledge and in so doing highlight the suitability and applicability of this theoretical perspective within educational discourses. By reframing and repositioning gender identity/expression as a performative expression on a fluid continuum this book provokes readers to (re)view how they see education pedagogy and schooling. The book interrogates what happens to teaching and teachers when queerness permeates their practice thus exposing the ways in which heteronormativity informs and shapes our places/sites of education. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Irish Educational Studies journal. | Queer Teaching - Teaching Queer

Hospitable God The Transformative Dream

Hospitable God The Transformative Dream

Exploring the hospitality of God and its implications for human thought and action this book examines the concepts of hospitality as cognitive tools for reframing our thinking about God divine action and human response in discipleship. Hospitality is imagined as an interactive symbol changing perspectives and encouraging stable environments of compassionate construction in society. Human rights are of crucial importance to the wellbeing of the people of our planet. But there is a sense in which they will always be an emergency measure a response to evils as they are happening. The authors argue that a hospitable comparative theology reaches out to bring Christian hospitality into the dialogue of world religions and cultures. It will respect the identity of particular groups and yet will strive for a cosmopolitan sharing of common values. It will respect tradition but also openness to reform and re-imagining. It will encourage convergence and development in a fluid stream of committed hospitalities. | Hospitable God The Transformative Dream

Queer Community Identities Intimacies and Ideology

Queer Community Identities Intimacies and Ideology

The context for this work is defined by a second wave of social and political activity contextualized by queer. For example three self-identified black queer women started the Black Lives Matter movement. For a new generation the first-wave reclamation of queer speaks to their position in a world that continues to marginalize and oppress particularly sexually and gender fluid and non-normative people. Using empirical work carried out by the author Queer Community describes queer-identified people their intimate relationships and how they are evolving as a unique community along politically-charged ideological lines. Following an exploration of the history and context of ‘queer’ – including activism and the evolution of queer theory – this book examines how queer-identified people define the identity with reference to ‘queer’ as a sexual moniker gender moniker and political ideology. Queer Community will appeal to scholars and students interested in sociology queer theory sexuality studies gender studies cultural studies and contemporary social movements. | Queer Community Identities Intimacies and Ideology

The Rise and Fall of Russia's Far Eastern Republic 1905–1922 Nationalisms Imperialisms and Regionalisms in and after the Russian Empire

The Russian Far East was a remarkably fluid region in the period leading up to during and after the Russian Revolution. The different contenders in play in the region imagining and working toward alternative futures comprised different national groups including Russians Buryat-Mongols Koreans and Ukrainians; different imperialist projects including Japanese and American attempts to integrate the region into their political and economic spheres of influence as well as the legacies of Russian expansionism and Bolshevik efforts to export the revolution to Mongolia Korea China and Japan; and various local regionalists who aimed for independence or strong regional autonomy for distinct Siberian and Far Eastern communities and whose efforts culminated in the short-lived Far Eastern Republic of 1920–1922. The Rise and Fall of Russia’s Far Eastern Republic 1905–1922 charts developments in the region examines the interplay of the various forces and explains how a Bolshevik version of state-centered nationalism prevailed. | The Rise and Fall of Russia's Far Eastern Republic 1905–1922 Nationalisms Imperialisms and Regionalisms in and after the Russian Empire

Women in Transition Crossing Boundaries Crossing Borders

Women in Transition Crossing Boundaries Crossing Borders

This volume brings together scholars students and writers as well as artists from around the world. By choosing a thematic focus on transition in women’s lives we present research on women who have crossed biological geopolitical and political borders as well as emotional sexual cultural and linguistic boundaries. The international approach brings together different cultures and genres in order to emphasize the links and connections that bind women together rather than those which separate them. The chapters consider the ways in which the changes and transitions women undergo influence the world we live in. We are particularly interested in the idea of crossing borders and how this influences identity and belonging and the theme of crossing boundaries in the context of motherhood as well as sexual orientation. The topic is timely given the waves of migration all around the world in recent times. The contributors deal with issues central to contemporary life such as gender equality and women’s empowerment as well as understanding women’s identities and being sensitive to fluid concepts of gender and sexuality. | Women in Transition Crossing Boundaries Crossing Borders

Understanding Metaphor through Corpora A Case Study of Metaphors in Nineteenth Century Writing

Understanding Metaphor through Corpora A Case Study of Metaphors in Nineteenth Century Writing

This book introduces a unique methodology to the study of metaphor integrating a corpus linguistic approach to explore the lexical grammatical semantic and pragmatic characteristics of metaphoric instances of language. The volume questions the reliability of attempts to identify metaphor based on dichotomy and drawing on data from a corpus of nineteenth-century writing instead advocates for the notion that metaphoricity is context-dependent and fluid in relation to the respective social and discourse contexts in which metaphors can be found. The book also applies Lexical Priming Theory to metaphoric language to suggest that our use of metaphor is due to unconscious behaviors a counterpoint to perspectives that see metaphor use as part of the creative process. Taken as a whole the volume calls for a deeper investigation of the complex web of meaning senses that contributes to our understanding of metaphor making this key reading for students and researchers in corpus linguistics metaphor studies lexicography semantics and pragmatics. | Understanding Metaphor through Corpora A Case Study of Metaphors in Nineteenth Century Writing

On Being One's Self Clinical Explorations in Identity from John Steiner's Workshop

On Being One's Self Clinical Explorations in Identity from John Steiner's Workshop

On Being One’s Self emerges from discussions in John Steiner’s Workshop and investigates the meanings of self and identity including the many ways in which the development of personal identity can be subverted interrogating what can facilitate the development of a reasonably stable identity. The variety of problems that can arise in relation to the development of a unique identity is reflected in rich clinical material that vividly illustrates ‘identities’ felt to be weak unformed fluid or brittle in many cases demonstrating how the sense of self is held together by pathological defences and organisations. The book examines several long-term adult analytic cases suggesting that a mature personal identity involves not only ‘knowing who one is’ but also the capacity for empathic identification with the experience of others as separate human beings. The question of ‘having’ an identity or the fear of losing it is a central concern of individuals and this volume which will be of interest to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists alike considers these issues by looking at the deepest conflicts around self and identity as they emerge and are relived in the transference relationship. | On Being One's Self Clinical Explorations in Identity from John Steiner's Workshop

The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

This book examines knowledge traditions that held together the fluid and overlapping maritime worlds of the Indian Ocean in the premodern period as evident in the material and archaeological record. It breaks new ground by shifting the focus from studying cross-pollination of ideas from textual sources to identifying this exchange of ideas in archaeological and historical documentation. The themes covered in the book include conceptualization of the seas and maritime landscapes in Sanskrit Arabic and Chinese narratives; materiality of knowledge production as indicated in the archaeological record of communities where writing on stone first appears; and anchoring the coasts not only through an understanding of littoral shrines and ritual landscapes but also by an analysis of religious imagery on coins more so at the time of the introduction of new religions such as Islam in the Indian Ocean around the eighth century. This volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of archaeology anthropology museum and heritage studies Indian Ocean studies maritime studies South and Southeast Asian studies religious studies and cultural studies. | The Archaeology of Knowledge Traditions of the Indian Ocean World

This book offers a comprehensive critical and timely account of the profession in these changing times charting its historical development current practice and future directions. Bringing together a range of academic and practice experts it considers social work as it is currently but also as it might be. Divided into three parts the first part sets a context identifying historical philosophical policy and legal influences on current practice. The second part picks up on current themes in policy and practice addressing key issues of professional identity in an increasingly integrated policy context. The final part contains chapters on current domains of practice identifying key areas of legislation policy and practice. Social Work in a Changing Scotland is essential reading for social work students offering an accessible yet critical overview of the profession. It will also inform current practitioners to understand better the changing contexts within which they practise while prompting further academic debate about Scottish social work.

Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism

Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism

Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism explores the often incommensurable and irreconcilable beliefs and understandings of sexuality and gender in the Orthodox Jewish community from psychoanalytic rabbinic feminist and queer perspectives. The book explores how seemingly irreconcilable differences might be resolved. The book is divided into two separate but related sections. The first highlights the divide between the psychoanalytic academic and traditional Orthodox Jewish perspectives on sexual identity and orientation and the acute psychic and social challenges faced by gay and lesbian members of the Orthodox Jewish world. The contributors ask us to engage with them in a dialogue that allows for authentic conversation. The second section focuses on gender identity especially as experienced by the Orthodox transgender members of the community. It also highlights the divide between theories that see gender as fluid and traditional Judaism that sees gender as strictly binary. The contributors write about their views and experiences from both sides of the divide. They ask us to engage in true authentic dialogue about these complex and crucial emotional and religious challenges. Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as members and leaders of Jewish communities working with LGBTQ issues.

Trajectories and Imaginaries in Migration The Migrant Actor in Transnational Space

Trajectories and Imaginaries in Migration The Migrant Actor in Transnational Space

This book draws attention to the various factors that characterize migrant flows and mobilities calling into question familiar concepts such as push and pull migration as a life project and sociocultural integration. It highlights processes such as fl exible migrant routes temporary and return migration mental aspects of migration processes and transnationalism which are organised around the themes of shaping trajectories frictions in space and the migrant mental framework. It brings together work from scholars from Europe and beyond with the contributions collected emphasizing the social and mental processes that underpin the migratory process which can be seen as the ‘soft side’ of migration. Too often this side is neglected when the governance of migration is discussed. The novel ideas expressed here also help to overcome the mechanistic view of migration as a push-pull event. Thus the book suggests a different understanding of migration and mobility as relational non-linear and fluid social processes characterized by instability in migrant life trajectories. Emphasizing the fl exibility of migrants and migration and advocating the importance of emotionally charged individual perceptions as central to migrant decision-making it will appeal to scholars of sociology anthropology politics and geography with interests in migration and diaspora studies. | Trajectories and Imaginaries in Migration The Migrant Actor in Transnational Space

Multijuralism Manifestations Causes and Consequences

Multijuralism Manifestations Causes and Consequences

At one level of generality multijuralism is the coexistence of two or more legal systems or sub-systems within a broader normative legal order to which they adhere such as the existence of civil and common law systems within the EU. However at a finer level of analysis multijuralism is a more widespread or common phenomenon and a more fluid reality than the civil law/common law distinction suggests. The papers in this study are therefore rooted in the latter frame of reference. They explore various types of multijural manifestations from the harmonizing potential of international treaties to indigenous law and the use of hard and soft pluralism. In addition the authors consider the external events which are not part of the processes of multijural adjustment but which serve to influence these processes. Included among these important external events are European integration the growing importance accorded to human rights the international practice of law the growth of the Internet the globalization of markets and the flow of immigrants. This volume represents some of the most current thinking in the area of multijuralism and is essential reading for anyone interested in the coexistence of legal systems or sub-systems. | Multijuralism Manifestations Causes and Consequences
