Memos from a Theatre Lab Exploring what immersive theatre 'does'

Memos from a Theatre Lab Exploring what immersive theatre 'does'

What does Immersive Theatre ‘do’?By contrasting two specific performances on the same theme – one an ‘immersive’ experience and the other a more conventional theatrical production – Nandita Dinesh explores the ways in which theatrical form impacts upon actors and audiences. An in-depth case study of her work Pinjare (Cages) sets out the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of her specific aesthetic framework. Memos from a Theatre Lab places Dinesh’s practical work within the context of existing analyses of Immersive Theatre using this investigation to generate an underpinning theory of how Immersive Theatre works for its participants. | Memos from a Theatre Lab Exploring what immersive theatre 'does'

Climate Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland Under the Great Ice

Climate Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland Under the Great Ice

Once imagined as a place on the very edge of the world Greenland is now viewed as being at the epicentre of climate change.

In this book Mark Nuttall takes the reader on a journey through landscapes seascapes and icescapes of memory movement and anticipation. Unravelling the entanglements of climate change indigenous sovereignty and the politics surrounding non-renewable resource extraction he describes how the country is on the verge of major environmental political and social transformations as it aspires to greater autonomy and possible independence from Denmark. At the heart of this is discussion about how resources and the environment are given meaning and how they have become subject to intense political and ideological struggle.

Recalibrating Juvenile Detention Lessons Learned from the Court-Ordered Reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center

Recalibrating Juvenile Detention Lessons Learned from the Court-Ordered Reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center

Recalibrating Juvenile Detention chronicles the lessons learned from the 2007 to 2015 landmark US District Court-ordered reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC) in Illinois following years of litigation by the ACLU about egregious and unconstitutional conditions of confinement. In addition to explaining the implications of the Court’s actions the book includes an analysis of a major evaluation research report by the University of Chicago Crime Lab and explains for scholars practitioners administrators policymakers and advocates how and why this particular reform of conditions achieved successful outcomes when others failed. Maintaining that the Chicago Crime Lab findings are the gold standard evidence-based research (EBR) in pretrial detention Roush holds that the observed firsts for juvenile detention may perhaps have the power to transform all custody practices. He shows that the findings validate a new model of institutional reform based on cognitive-behavioral programming (CBT) reveal statistically significant reductions in in-custody violence and recidivism and demonstrate that at least one variation of short-term secure custody can influence positively certain life outcomes for Chicago’s highest-risk and most disadvantaged youth. With the Quarterly Journal of Economics imprimatur and endorsement by the President’s Council of Economic Advisors the book is a reverse engineering of these once-in-a-lifetime events (recidivism reduction and EBR in pretrial detention) that explains the important and transformative implications for the future of juvenile justice practice. The book is essential reading for graduate students in juvenile justice criminology and corrections as well as practitioners judges and policymakers. | Recalibrating Juvenile Detention Lessons Learned from the Court-Ordered Reform of the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center

The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920

The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920

This volume originally published in 1990 and now with an updated Preface gives an account of the Allies' last concerted attempt to destroy Russia's nascent Bolshevik regime. At the start it looked like a threat that should be taken seriously as the Reds' enemies both native and foreign combined with trained mercenaries under the leadership of a Tsarist admiral. But it finished with a firing squad on the ice and a grisly end for the ill-fated Admiral Kolchak. With him died the last hope for the old order in Russia and the future of the new Soviet state was secure. The skill of the author's narrative lies in his mastery both of the detail and of the wider implications of these epic events. | The Republic of the Ushakovka Admiral Kolchak and the Allied Intervention in Siberia 1918-1920
