Asbestos Directory of Unpublished Studies

Asbestos Directory of Unpublished Studies

First Published in 1986. It was in 1981 that the joint sub-committee ‘minerals and metals’ set up in the framework of EEC-Canadian cooperation decided to launch a publication which would provide an overall view of the progress achieved at international level in the field of research into asbestos. In the Directory as it had emerged in previous editions the coverage was confined chiefly to health aspects. An attempt has therefore been made to extend the scope of this publication to cover technology and asbestos substitutes. It is the result of a survey comprising over 2000 research centres or individual researchers who will afterwards be regularly consulted as will the specialists who have been identified in the meantime. Future updates will probably be on an annual basis. | Asbestos Directory of Unpublished Studies

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

Dividing the nation and causing massive political change the English Civil War remains one of the most decisive and dramatic conflicts of English history. Lawrence Stone's account of the factors leading up to the deposition of Charles I in 1642 is widely regarded as a classic in the field. Brilliantly synthesising the historical political and sociological interpretations of the seventeeth century Stone explores theories of revolution and traces the social and economic change that led to this period of instability. The picture that emerges is one where historical interpretation is enriched but not determined by grand theories in the social sciences and as Stone elegantly argues one where the upheavals of the seventeenth century are central to the very story of modernity. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Clare Jackson Trinity Hall Cambridge. | The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

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

Excitable Speech A Politics of the Performative

Excitable Speech A Politics of the Performative

‘When we claim to have been injured by language what kind of claim do we make?’ - Judith Butler Excitable Speech Excitable Speech is widely hailed as a tour de force and one of Judith Butler’s most important books. Examining in turn debates about hate speech pornography and gayness within the US military Butler argues that words can wound and linguistic violence is its own kind of violence. Yet she also argues that speech is ‘excitable’ and fluid because its effects often are beyond the control of the speaker shaped by fantasy context and power structures. In a novel and courageous move she urges caution concerning the use of legislation to restrict and censor speech especially in cases where injurious language is taken up by aesthetic practices to diminish and oppose the injury such as in rap and popular music. Although speech can insult and demean it is also a form of recognition and may be used to talk back; injurious speech can reinforce power structures but it can also repeat power in ways that separate language from its injurious power. Skillfully showing how language’s oppositional power resides in its insubordinate and dynamic nature and its capacity to appropriate and defuse words that usually wound Butler also seeks to account for why some clearly hateful speech is taken to be iconic of free speech while other forms are more easily submitted to censorship. In light of current debates between advocates of freedom of speech and ‘no platform’ and cancel culture the message of Excitable Speech remains more relevant now than ever. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by the author where she considers speech and language in the context contemporary forms of political polarization. | Excitable Speech A Politics of the Performative
