Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

In this follow-up to Law and the Beautiful Soul Alan Norrie addresses the split between legal and ethical judgment. Shaped by history law’s formalism both eschews and requires ethics. The first essays consider legal form in its practical aspect and the ethical problems encountered (‘law’s architectonic’). The later essays look at the complex underlying relation between law and ethics (‘law’s constellation’). In Hegel’s philosophy legal and ethical judgment are brought together in a rational totality. Here the synthesis remains unachieved the dialectic systematically ‘broken’. These essays cover such issues as criminal law’s ‘general part’ homicide reform self-defence euthanasia and war guilt. They interrogate legal problems consider law’s method and its place in the social whole. The analysis of law’s historicity its formalism and its relation to ethics contributes importantly to central questions in law legal theory and criminal justice. | Justice and the Slaughter Bench Essays on Law's Broken Dialectic

Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.S. Machine Tool Industry

Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.S. Machine Tool Industry

This title was first published in 2000: Steven Nivin analyzes a process vital to economic development - technological change. He furthers understanding of the processes driving innovation so that we may gain a deeper insight into the development of economies. Specifically the study explores the concept of innovation potential and the factors that result in variations in innovation potential across metropolitan areas using the US machine tool industry as a case study. To provide a comparison the same models are also estimated for the semiconductor industry. The findings indicate that urbanisation economies localization economies human capital universities and invention-derived knowledge are significant factors. The study assesses the contributions of three different skill levels of human capital; college-educated graduate degree and locally produced PhD’s in mechanical and electrical engineering. Only the graduate and PhD degree measures are found to be significant indicating the importance of having a highly skilled pool of labour within the region. The influences of the factors appear to be similar across industries with some slight differences. The transfer of knowledge through patents is also studied. It is found that the transmission of this knowledge is slower between different industries relative to the transmission within the same industry. | Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Focusing on notions of diaspora identity and agency this book examines ethnicity in war-torn Sri Lanka. It highlights the historical development and negotiation of a new identification of Up-country Tamil amidst Sri Lanka’s violent ethnic politics. Over the past thirty years Up-country (Indian) Tamils generally have tried to secure their vision of living within a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka not within Tamil Eelam the separatist dream that ended with the civil war in 2009. Exploring Sri Lanka within the deep history of colonial-era South Asian plantation diasporas the book argues Up-country Tamils form a diaspora next-door to their ancestral homeland. It moves beyond simplistic Sinhala-Tamil binaries and shows how Sri Lanka’s ethnic troubles actually have more in common with similar battles that diasporic Indians have faced in Fiji and Trinidad than with Hindu-Muslim communalism in neighbouring India Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shedding new light on issues of agency citizenship displacement and re-placement within the formation of diasporic communities and identities this book demonstrates the ways that culture workers including politicians trade union leaders academics and NGO workers have facilitated the development of a new identity as Up-country Tamil. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of modern South Asia diaspora violence post-conflict nations religion and ethnicity. | Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Drawn from a lifetime’s experience of shared city-making from the bottom up within rapidly expanding urban metabolisms in Delhi Mumbai Agra Kathmandu West Africa and London Loose Fit City is about the ways in which city residents can learn through making to engage with the dynamic process of creating their own city. It looks at the nature and processes involved in loosely fitting together elements made by different people at different scales and times with different intentions into a civic entity which is greater than the sum of its parts. It shows how bottom-up learning through making can create a more vibrant and democratic city than the more flattened top-down centrally planned factory made version. Loose Fit City provides a new take on the subject of architecture defined as the study and practice of fitting together physical and cultural topography. It provides a comprehensive view of how the fourth dimension of time fits loosely together with the three spatial dimensions at different scales within the human horizon so as to layer meaning and depth within the places and metabolism of the city fabric. | Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Computational Engineering of Historical Memories With a Showcase on Afro-Eurasia (ca 1100-1500 CE)

Computational Engineering of Historical Memories With a Showcase on Afro-Eurasia (ca 1100-1500 CE)

Nanetti outlines a methodology for deploying artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance historical research. Historical events are the treasure of human experiences the heritage that societies have used to remain resilient and express their identities. Nanetti has created and developed an interdisciplinary methodology supported by practice-based research that serves as a pathway between historical and computer sciences to design and build computational structures that analyse how societies create narratives about historical events. This consilience pathway aims to make historical memory machine-understandable. It turns history into a computational discipline through an interdisciplinary blend of philological accuracy historical scholarship history-based media projects and computational tools. Nanetti presents the theory behind this methodology from a humanities perspective and discusses its practical application in user interface and experience. An essential read for historians and scholars working in the digital humanities. | Computational Engineering of Historical Memories With a Showcase on Afro-Eurasia (ca 1100-1500 CE)

Professional Issues in Work with Babies and Toddlers

Professional Issues in Work with Babies and Toddlers

Early childhood provision for babies and toddlers is in a critical phase. While governments are pushing for fast-paced expansion mainly to support the return of mothers to the labour market early childhood experts are deeply concerned about the quality of provision on offer for children up to age three. Research has consistently demonstrated that well-qualified educators are a crucial component towards ensuring a climate of sensitivity and responsiveness to individual children – and thus a central ingredient of high quality provision. However national policy choices regarding required professional education/training and required resources for supporting the well-being and learning opportunities of very young children are highly variable. The chapters in this book approach the topic of professional work with very young children in diverse ways employing varying theoretical frameworks research foci and research methodologies. They illustrate starkly divergent policy contexts in this case predominantly European with research located in Belgium France Finland Italy Sweden and the UK but also in South Africa and the USA. This book will be of interest to those conducting research into provision for infants and toddlers both at the micro-level of relationships and settings and at the macro-level of policy paradigms. Potential readers also include practitioners and prospective managers and leaders of early childhood centres as well as those offering initial and postgraduate early years teacher education and continuing professional development courses. This book was originally published as a special issue of Early Years. | Professional Issues in Work with Babies and Toddlers

Necessary Conditions Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation

During his years working as an instructional coach for a national network of schools Geoff Krall had the chance to witness several inspirational moments when math class comes alive for middle or high school students - when it is challenging but also fun creative and interactive. In Necessary Conditions: Teaching Secondary Math with Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation Krall documents the essential ingredients that produce these sorts of moments on a regular basis and for all students. They are Academic Safety Quality Tasks and Effective Facilitation. Academic Safety: Krall implements equitable classroom experiences that help fight stigmas associated with race and gender in schools. This allows students to feel socially and emotionally secure while nurturing their identities as mathematicians and increasing engagement during classroom discussions Quality Tasks: Teachers can adapt or create dynamic student-centered lessons that break down math into small manageable sections removing the frustrations felt by students who aren't considered math people Effective Facilitation: This book shows how to incorporate teaching moves and math routines designed for engagement persistence and interactivity. Teachers can allow students to explore safely while maintaining consistent classroom expectations. My work as a math instructional coach for a network of schools has afforded me the unique opportunity to visit exceptional teachers across the country documenting their tasks teaching moves and academically safe learning environments. You'll experience dispatches from these effective classrooms in which we'll observe how teachers attend to all three elements that make up the ecosystem.
