Parallel Lives Romans and the American Founders

Parallel Lives Romans and the American Founders

This book compares selected Romans of the late Republic with American Founders in the style of Plutarch encouraging readers to rethink how we view heroes and villains and their conceptions of republicanism. Through entertaining yet informative short comparisons this volume demonstrates the humanity of heroes and villains from different times and places through their often idiosyncratic similarities and differences. Readers gain not only a fuller understanding of the late Roman and early American Republics and their leaders but also an appreciation for comparative biography in its ability to make connections across the human experience. The book provides a way to connect two different areas of study focusing on how republicanism shaped both Romans and American Founders and providing a previously unexplored contribution to a growing trend of broadening historical exposure. In doing so Baughman and Poston demonstrate the continued need for connecting different fields of history while also helping students understand their connection to the ancient past. This book is suitable for students and scholars interested in the late Roman and the early American Republics and also appeals to readers of varied interests across historical times and places particularly those studying the connections between the classical past and modern world. | Parallel Lives Romans and the American Founders

Reforming Senates Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800-present

Reforming Senates Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800-present

This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories. Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep their senates relevant.

Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room: Architectures of British Maternity returns to and reflects on the spatial and architectural experience of childbirth through both a critical history of maternity spaces and a creative exploration of those we use today. Where conventional architectural histories objectify buildings (in parallel with the objectification of the maternal body) the book—in the mode of creative practice research—presents a creative-critical autotheory of the architecture of lying-in. It uses feminist subjective modes of thinking that travel across disciplines registers and arguments. The book assesses the transformation of maternity spaces—from the female bedchamber of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century marital homes to the lying-in hospitals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries purposely built by man-midwives to the late twentieth-century spaces of home and the modern hospital maternity wing—and the parallel shifts in maternal practices. The spaces are not treated as mute or neutral backdrops to maternal history but as a series of vital entangled atmospheres materials practices and objects that are produced by and in turn produce particular social and political conditions gendered structures and experiences. Moving across spaces systems protagonists and their subjectivities the book shows how hospital design and protocol altered ordinary birth at home and continues to shape maternal spatial experience today. As such it will be of interest to a wide range of readers from architectural historians theoreticians designers and students to medical humanities historians to English Literature humanities and material studies scholars as well as those interested in creative-critical writing. | Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

This title was first published in 2001. After languishing for decades in the domains of rigid doctrinalism and confusing theory the conflict of laws is increasingly being recognized as an important area of law to a global community. To demonstrate its importance Michael Whincop and Mary Keyes transcend the divide between the English pragmatic tradition and the circularity of American policy-based theory. They argue that the law governing multistage conflicts can minimize the social costs of litigation increase the extent of co-ordination facilitate private ordering and limit regulatory monopolies and cross-border spillovers. Pragmatic in outlook and economic in methodology they pursue these themes across a broad range of doctrinal issues and offer valuable links to parallel analyses in domestic contexts. | Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

Contributions of Self Psychology to Group Psychotherapy Selected Papers

Contributions of Self Psychology to Group Psychotherapy Selected Papers

Stone's central interests include the development of the self empathy narcissism shame envy rage and the group-self. He is concerned with several aspects of clinical technique and is especially sensitive to our co-creation of so-called difficult patients. His understanding of dreams as both personal and group products which manifest visual narratives will be of particular interest to students of the social and collective unconscious. Stone's work with narcissistic and borderline patients developed in parallel with his work with the chronically mentally ill who are often institutionalised. He demonstrates that group therapy for such patients is not only a matter of containment and holding in the service of administrative control but also involves interpretative work based on an understanding of the primary need for a good enough self-object. | Contributions of Self Psychology to Group Psychotherapy Selected Papers

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence examines public and professional conceptions of the relationships between thinking about spatial attributes and active engagement in spatially related constructions and designs. Even though children’s and adolescents’ spatial propensities in constructive activities parallel the skills needed by professionals in both established and emerging fields spatial education is often missing from K–12 curricula and is easily impeded by teachers parents or other individuals who do not provide contexts in formalized settings such as schools to nurture its potential. This book bridges the gap by linking the natural spatial inclinations interests and proclivities of individuals from a variety of cultures with professional training and expertise in engineering architecture science and mathematics. Educators will be better able to achieve the skills and awareness necessary to provide children and young adults with the vital opportunities inherent in spatial education. | Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Kosovo The Politics of Identity and Space

Kosovo The Politics of Identity and Space

Kosovo: The Politics of Identity and Space explores the Albanian-Serbian confrontation after Slobodan Milosevic's rise to power and the policy of repression in Kosovo through the lens of the Kosovo education system. The argument is woven around the story of imposed ethnic segregation in Kosovo's education and its impact on the emergence of exclusive notions of nation and homeland among the Serbian and Albanian youth in the 1990s. The book also critically explores the wider context of the Albanian non-violent resistance including the emergence of the parallel state and its weaknesses. Kosovo: The Politics of Identity and Space not only provides an insight into events that led to the bloodshed in Kosovo in the late 1990s but also shows that the legacy of segregation is one of the major challenges the international community faces in its efforts to establish an integrated multi-ethnic society in the territory. | Kosovo The Politics of Identity and Space

Belief Action and Rationality over Time

Belief Action and Rationality over Time

Action theorists and formal epistemologists often pursue parallel inquiries regarding rationality with the former focused on practical rationality and the latter focused on theoretical rationality. In both fields there is currently a strong interest in exploring rationality in relation to time. The exploration raises questions about the rationality of certain patterns over time. For example it raises questions about the rational permissibility of certain patterns of intention; similarly it raises questions about the rational permissibility of certain patterns of belief. While the action-theoretic and epistemic questions raised are closely related advances in one field are not always processed by the other. This volume brings together contributions by scholars in action theory and formal epistemology working on questions regarding rationality and time so that researchers in these overlapping fields can profit from each other’s insights. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Philosophy. | Belief Action and Rationality over Time

Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices

Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices

This book is devoted to the concept of horizontal art history—a proposal of a paradigm shift formulated by the Polish art historian Piotr Piotrowski (1952–2015)—that aims at undermining the hegemony of the discourse of art history created in the Western world. The concept of horizontal art history is one of many ideas on how to conduct nonhierarchical art historical analysis that have been developed in different geopolitical locations since at least the 1970s parallel to the ongoing process of decolonization. This book is a critical examination of horizontal art history which provokes a discussion on the original concept of horizontal art history and possible methods to extend it. This is an edited volume written by international scholars who acknowledge the importance of the concept share its basic assumptions and are aware both of its advantages and limitations. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history art historiography and postcolonial studies. | Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices
