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

Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

This title was first published in 2003. This work provides a clearer understanding of the EU's approach towards security in the Mediterranean. After examining the EU's interests and the potential threats to security in the region it analyzes EU security policy towards the region as a whole through the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and towards all disputes and conflicts in the area. It recommends opening up the European Security and Defence Policy to Mediterranean participation in order to establish a deep and equitable security partnership between both shores. The book argues that this way the EU could implement its innovative comprehensive and co-operative approach to security. Rather than focusing on the military aspect alone this approach takes into account all dimensions of security (political socio-economic cultural and ecological) and is based on partnership rather than confrontation. It therefore contrasts quite sharply with the policies advocated in the US National Security Strategy. | Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

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

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Searching for a needle in a haystack is an important task in several contexts of data analysis and decision-making. Examples include identifying the insider threat within an organization the prediction of failure in industrial production or pinpointing the unique signature of a solo perpetrator such as a school shooter or a lone wolf terrorist. It is a challenge different from that of identifying a rare event (e. g. a tsunami) or detecting anomalies because the needle is not easily distinguished from the haystack. This challenging context is imbued with particular difficulties from the lack of sufficient data to train a machine learning model through the identification of the relevant features and up to the painful price of false alarms which might cause us to question the relevance of machine learning solutions even if they perform well according to common performance criteria. In this book Prof. Neuman approaches the problem of finding the needle by specifically focusing on the human factor from solo perpetrators to insider threats. Providing for the first time a deep critical multidimensional and methodological analysis of the challenge the book offers data scientists and decision makers a deep scientific foundational approach combined with a pragmatic practical approach that may guide them in searching for a needle in a haystack. | How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Disability Space Architecture: A Reader

Disability Space Architecture: A Reader

Disability Space Architecture: A Reader takes a groundbreaking approach to exploring the interconnections between disability architecture and cities. The contributions come from architecture geography anthropology health studies English language and literature rhetoric and composition art history disability studies and disability arts and cover personal theoretical and innovative ideas and work. Richer approaches to disability – beyond regulation and design guidance – remain fragmented and difficult to find for architectural and built environment students educators and professionals. By bringing together in one place some seminal texts and projects as well as newly commissioned writings readers can engage with disability in unexpected and exciting ways that can vibrantly inform their understandings of architecture and urban design. Most crucially Disability Space Architecture: A Reader opens up not just disability but also ability – dis/ability – as a means of refusing the normalisation of only particular kinds of bodies in the design of built space. It reveals how our everyday social attitudes and practices about people objects and spaces can be better understood through the lens of disability and it suggests how thinking differently about dis/ability can enable innovative and new kinds of critical and creative architectural and urban design education and practice.
