Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

The social processes which underpin and shape our lives have the power to significantly transform the trajectories of people experiencing recovery from addiction and desistance from crime. Recovery from addiction and desistance from crime are processes which are often experienced and supported in the same physical spaces and are also frequently experienced by the same people. This book therefore synthesises and presents research on the social influences of recovery and desistance. This book presents the social component model of recovery from addiction and desistance from crime: a strength-based approach presenting case studies to better understand the social factors of both recovery from addiction and desistance from crime and therefore a step towards enhancing evidence-based policy and practice. The social components that have emerged and will be discussed within this book include relationships and social bonds; social identity group membership and social networks; and social capital. Compiled based on observations interviews and social identity mapping methods this work combines and presents theory and research to enhance and strengthen the evidence available for people who are already teaching about supporting and experiencing both desistance from crime and recovery from addiction in practice. | Trusting Recovery and Desistance The Social Components Model of Recovery from Addiction and Desistance from Crime

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

This collection explores the links between multimodality and multilingualism charting the interplay between languages channels and forms of communication in multilingual written texts from historical manuscripts through to the new media of today and the non-verbal associations they evoke. The volume argues that features of written texts such as graphics layout boundary marking and typography are inseparable from verbal content. Taken together the chapters adopt a systematic historical perspective to investigate this interplay over time and highlight the ways in which the two disciplines might further inform one another in the future as new technologies emerge. The first half of the volume considers texts where semiotic resources are the sites of modes where multiple linguistic codes interact on the page and generate extralinguistic associations through visual features and spatial organizaisation. The second half of the book looks at texts where this interface occurs not in the text but rather in the cultural practices involved in social materiality and text transmission. Enhancing our understandings of multimodal resources in both historical and contemporary communication this book will be of interest to scholars in multimodality multilingualism historical communication discourse analysis and cultural studies. Chapters 1 4 and 5 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www. routledge. com.

Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

This is the first collection of essays exclusively devoted to knowledge from non-knowledge and related issues. It features original contributions from some of the most prominent and up-and-coming scholars working in contemporary epistemology. There is a nascent literature in epistemology about the possibility of inferential knowledge based on premises that are for one reason or another not known. The essays in this book explore if and how epistemology can accommodate cases where knowledge is generated from something other than knowledge. Can reasoning from false beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from unjustified beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from gettiered beliefs generate knowledge? Can reasoning from propositions one does not even believe generate knowledge? The contributors to this book tackle these and other questions head-on. Together they advance the debate about knowledge from non-knowledge in novel and interesting directions. Illuminating Errors will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in epistemology and philosophy of mind. | Illuminating Errors New Essays on Knowledge from Non-Knowledge

Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

This book explores European student migration from the perspectives of Eastern European students moving to Western Europe for study. Whilst most research on student migration in Europe focuses on the experiences of Western European students this book uniquely casts a light on Eastern European student migrants moving to the ‘West’. Mette Ginnerskov-Dahlberg deploys a novel approach to the subject by drawing on insights gleaned from a longitudinal study of master's students pursuing an education abroad and their multifaceted journeys after graduation. Thereby she brings their narratives to life and highlights the changes and continuities they experienced over a period of seven years fostering an understanding of student mobility as an activity enmeshed with adult commitments and long-term aspirations. Using Denmark as a case study of a host country Ginnerskov-Dahlberg analyses the trajectories of these students and situates their experiences within the wider socio-historical context of Eastern European post-socialism and the contemporary dynamics between EU and non-EU citizens in the welfare state of Denmark – reflecting issues playing out on the global stage today. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of migration and mobility studies as well as human geography sociology higher education area studies and anthropology. | Student Migration from Eastern to Western Europe

American Artists On Art From 1940 To 1980

American Artists On Art From 1940 To 1980

From the Preface:The fact that so much of modern art has devoted itself to the exploration and assertion of its own identity is reflected in but does not explain the increasing amount of writing and talking on the part of contemporary artists. Rather the whole history of the changing role of art and artists in a democratic industrial and technological society stands behind the spate of artists' words and the public's hunger for them?even some of the general public out there beyond art's little circle. Statements by artists appeal somewhat the way drawings do: they bring us or at least they hold the promise of bringing us closer to the artist's thoughts and feelings and to an understanding of his or her modus operandi; they hold the keys to a mysterious realm. And sometimes they offer us the sheer pleasure of good reading. Such is the primary raison d'�e of this book. Its other motivation is educational and stems from the frustrating lack in teaching contemporary art of any single compilation of statements by American artists from 1940 to the present. ? This anthology differs in several respects from those others that do include documents of American art since 1940. ? The selection I have made is devoted exclusively to statements of artists; it is limited to the last four decades; it presents in a single volume a representative and fairly comprehensive coverage of major developments in American art beginning with Abstract Expressionism; and whenever possible it cities the first or among the very earliest documents signalizing a shift in the definition intent or direction of art. ? | American Artists On Art From 1940 To 1980
