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.

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

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

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

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

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

Racism Culture Markets

Racism Culture Markets

Racism Culture Markets explores the connections between cultural representations of `race' and their historical institutional and global forms of expression and impact. John Gabriel examines the current fixation with market place philosophies in terms of the crisis in anti-racist politics and concern over questions of cultural identity. He explores issues such as the continuing relevance of terms like `black' as a basis for self definition; the need to think about identities in more fluid and complex ways and the need to develop a much more explicit discussion of the construction of whiteness and white identities. Racism Culture Markets brings together a range of historical and contemporary case studies including the Rushdie affair; the Gulf War; debates around fostering adoption and domestic violence; separate schooling; the service economy and its employment practices; tourism in the Third World; the Bhopal chemical disaster and racism in the new Europe. His case studies also consider the role played by contemporary media and popular culture in these debates including film television music and the press.

Languages and Identities in a Transitional Japan From Internationalization to Globalization

Languages and Identities in a Transitional Japan From Internationalization to Globalization

This book explores the transition from the era of internationalization into the era of globalization of Japan by focusing on language and identity as its central themes. By taking an interdisciplinary approach covering education cultural studies linguistics and policy-making the chapters in this book raise certain questions of what constitutes contemporary Japanese culture Japanese identity and multilingualism and what they mean to local people including those who do not reside in Japan but are engaged with Japan in some way within the global community. Topics include the role of technology in the spread of Japanese language and culture hybrid language use in an urban context the Japanese language as a lingua franca in China and the identity construction of heritage Japanese language speakers in Australia. The authors do not limit themselves to examining only the Japanese language or the Japanese national/cultural identity but also explore multilingual practices and multiple/fluid identities in a transitional Japan. Overall the book responds to the basic need for better accounts of language and identity of Japan particularly in the context of increased migration and mobility. | Languages and Identities in a Transitional Japan From Internationalization to Globalization

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

Language Dynamics in the Early Modern Period

Language Dynamics in the Early Modern Period

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the linguistic situation in Europe was one of remarkable fluidity. Latin the great scholarly lingua franca of the medieval period was beginning to crack as the tectonic plates shifted beneath it but the vernaculars had not yet crystallized into the national languages that they would later become and multilingualism was rife. Meanwhile elsewhere in the world languages were coming into contact with an intensity that they had never had before influencing each other and throwing up all manner of hybrids and pidgins as peoples tried to communicate using the semiotic resources they had available. Of interest to linguists literary scholars and historians amongst others this interdisciplinary volume explores the linguistic dynamics operating in Europe and beyond in the crucial centuries between 1400 and 1800. Assuming a state of individual societal and functional multilingualism when codeswitching was the norm and languages themselves were fluid unbounded and porous it explores the shifting relationships that existed between various tongues in different geographical contexts as well as some of the myths and theories that arose to make sense of them. | Language Dynamics in the Early Modern Period
