Growing Up in a Changing Society

Growing Up in a Changing Society

The final reader in the Child Development in Social Context series shows how the study of child development is inevitably bound up in more ephemeral cultural ideas about the nature and needs of children and in the educational practices that rise from these ideas. Some readings point to the dangers which can arise from the meeting of science and cultural values using for illustration studies of the role of psychological theory in reinforcing social attitudes to child care inside and outside the family. Other readings look at children's initiation into that relatively recent cultural invention the school and the relationship with their learning at home. There are studies of their social development in classroom and playground with particular emphasis on ethnic relationships. | Growing Up in a Changing Society

The Language of Pick-Up Artists Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry

The Language of Pick-Up Artists Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry

This book adopts a corpus-based discourse analysis approach to the study of the communicative practices of pick-up artists offering a systematic exploration of distinct language use in an online community that uses speed-seduction practices for short-term dating and sex. Drawing on a multi-million-word corpus comprising data from online forums social media informational websites and YouTube videos the volume explores the verbal practices and narrative framing techniques that pick-up artists (PUAs) draw upon in their interactions with women and the terminology-heavy language used in teaching pick-up to foster perceptions of scientific validity. The book also unpacks videos and reports of live interactions to study naturally occurring PUA discourse from different perspectives but also to more closely examine conceptual metaphors of competition and violence and critically reflect on the ethical considerations of working with such communities. This book will appeal to students and scholars in such disciplines as discourse analysis corpus linguistics computer-mediated communication and language and media as well as those interested in the study of language use online. | The Language of Pick-Up Artists Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry

Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

First published in 1983 Which Way is Up presents a selection of Bob Connell’s writings on three key issues of modern social analysis- sex and gender class and power and culture. The essays range from psychoanalysis and contemporary feminism to the role theory from the analysis of class and culture to the debate about intellectuals and the ‘new class’. In critically reviewing contemporary thought on these issues the author has developed a perspective centred on the analysis of social practice. Easy to read often witty the essays represent an attempt to shift social theory into the real world of the late twentieth century to go beyond the limits of orthodox sociology and radical dogmas to think through theoretical questions without losing touch with practical politics. This is a must read for students and scholars of sociology. | Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

Setting Up and Maintaining an Effective Private Practice A Practical Workbook for Mental Health Practitioners

Setting Up and Maintaining an Effective Private Practice A Practical Workbook for Mental Health Practitioners

Counsellors psychotherapists and psychologists are proud to belong to the helping professions. Those working within these professions see themselves as caring people trying to help others to understand themselves better to feel better about themselves and to help them get over various traumas and difficulties that they have experienced either within their lives or personalities. Talking about money and thinking of their clients and the units of therapy time as items of income can be uncomfortable. Many counsellors psychotherapists and psychologists may not easily view their private practice as a business. But that is what it is and the primary role of any business is to be profitable. In this volume the author guides us through practicalities of setting up and maintaining a private practice and addresses the tensions and problems faced by the practitioner trying to both provide care and run an effective business. The author provides clear models and examples that practitioners will be able to adapt to their own circumstances for example showing them how to set up accounts. | Setting Up and Maintaining an Effective Private Practice A Practical Workbook for Mental Health Practitioners

Poland and European East-West Cooperation in the 1970s The Opening Up

Poland and European East-West Cooperation in the 1970s The Opening Up

This book offers an international reading of the Polish socialist regime’s history in the 1970s and its opening up to the West. It bridges Poland’s socialist domestic history with critical developments of the global and European 1970s including détente in the Cold War western European integration and globalisation. In this period of international transformations socialist Poland under Edward Gierek's leadership multiplied its economic and political contacts with capitalist countries especially western Europe and became a leader of East-West cooperation among Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and Warsaw Pact members. Relying on sources from public and corporate archives in five different European states the book demonstrates both that the global political and economic transformations of that period were critical for the decision-making process in Poland and moreover that the national socialist elites participated in shaping these transformations. By looking at the goals and expectations of the Polish socialist elites and their practices of political and economic exchanges with western Europe the book explains the logic which drove the socialist regime into entanglement with the West. As is shown here this entanglement proved inextricable and critical for the socialist regime's failure and Poland’s political and economic future. This book will be of much interest to students of European history cold war studies socialism studies and International Relations. | Poland and European East-West Cooperation in the 1970s The Opening Up

Level Up: Live Performance and Creative Process in Grime Music

Level Up: Live Performance and Creative Process in Grime Music

Grime music has been central to British youth culture since the beginning of the 21st century. Performed by MCs and DJs it is an Afrodiasporic form that developed on street corners on pirate radio and at raves. Level Up: Live Performance and Creative Process in Grime Music offers the first long-form ethnographic study of grime practice; it questions how and why artists do what they do; and it asks what this can tell us about creative process and improvisation more widely. Based on research conducted in London’s grime scene—facilitated by the author’s long-standing role as a DJ and broadcaster—this book explores the form’s emergence before taking a magnifying glass to the contemporary scene and its performance protocol exploring the practice of key artists and their crews living and working in the city. The resultant model of creative interaction provides a comprehensive mapping of collective social learning in London’s informal cityscape offering new ways to conceptualise improvisatory practice within ensembles.

Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

This is a book about cognition emotion memory and learning. Along the way it examines exactly how implicit memory (knowing how) and explicit memory (knowing that) are connected with each other via the cerebellum. Since emotion is also related to memory and most likely one of its organising features many fields of human endeavour have attempted to clarify its fundamental nature including its relationship to metaphor problem-solving learning and many other variables. This is an attempt to pull together the various strands relating to emotions so that clinicians and researchers alike can identify precisely and ultimately agree upon what emotion is and how it contributes to the other known activities of mind and brain. | Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

Identity Gender and Sexuality 150 Years After Freud

Identity Gender and Sexuality 150 Years After Freud

This publication brings together some of the leading psychoanalytic authorities from around the globe to consider in depth the complex interweaving of identity gender and sexuality from theoretical clinical historical and research perspectives. The author strongly recommends Identity Gender and Sexuality to those looking for a book that does not pull punches. The reader will find a debate about the relative merits of clinical empirical and conceptual research critical assessments of interdisciplinary findings from infant and child development research embodied cognitive science academic psychology neurobiology genetics ethology and other fields of inquiry and honest and illuminating psychoanalytic case studies.

Beyond Citizenship and the Nation-State

Beyond Citizenship and the Nation-State

Beyond Citizenship and the Nation-State examines tensions between a push for clear boundaries defining nation-states and who “legitimately” belongs in them and a pull away from citizenship as capturing what membership in a political community looks like in the twenty-first century. Borders signify and represent these physical and metaphorical challenges in a world where (anti)migration and (anti)refugee rhetoric are central to the production and reproduction of postcolonial and nationalist political discourse and identity formation. With an expansive view of citizenship authors challenge dominant narratives explore alternatives to neoliberal frameworks and link theory and practice through participatory opportunities for non-citizen political participation. In doing so they present possibilities for reimagining citizenship for a just more sustainable future. This book will appeal to academics and practitioners working in the disciplines of Sociology Social Policy Human Geography Political Sciences Citizenship Studies and Migration Studies. It was originally published as a special issue of New Political Science.
