Children Recovering from Complex Trauma From Wound to Scar

Children Recovering from Complex Trauma From Wound to Scar

Children Recovering from Complex Trauma: From Wound to Scar draws on the latest knowledge and research on complex trauma in children as well as the authors’ expertise in order to outline a trauma-sensitive approach to these children and their parents. The first part of the book describes the emotional and relational dynamics underlying these children’s behaviour. The second part of the book offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the authors' psychotherapy practice elaborating the processes of change and growth that can enable developmental recovery ‘from wound to scar’ in children who have experienced complex trauma. As such the book aims to ‘demystify’ what psychotherapy with a traumatised child may look like as well as offer insights and tools which can support carers in their daily interactions with these children. This book will be of great use to the adoptive parents and foster carers of children who have experienced complex trauma and the care professionals (e. g. teachers foster care workers) who work with them. | Children Recovering from Complex Trauma From Wound to Scar

Learning from Arnstein's Ladder From Citizen Participation to Public Engagement

Learning from Arnstein's Ladder From Citizen Participation to Public Engagement

Sherry Arnstein writing in 1969 about citizen involvement in planning processes in the United States described a “ladder of citizen participation” that showed participation ranging from low to high. Arnstein depicted the failings of typical participation processes at the time and characterized aspirations toward engagement that have now been elevated to core values in planning practice. But since that time the political economic and social context has evolved greatly and planners organizers and residents have been involved in planning and community development practice in ways previously unforeseen. Learning from Arnstein’s Ladder draws on contemporary theory expertise empirical analysis and practical applications in what is now more commonly termed public engagement in planning to examine the enduring impacts of Arnstein’s work and the pervasive challenges that planners face in advancing meaningful public engagement. This book presents research from throughout the world including Australia Brazil India Indonesia Portugal Serbia and the United States among others that utilizes critiques revises and expands upon Arnstein’s aspirational vision. It is essential reading for educators and students of planning. | Learning from Arnstein's Ladder From Citizen Participation to Public Engagement

Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

The Koreans according to the Chinese chronicles are ‘the people who enjoy singing and dancing’ and who regaled their gods with dance and song. Since then poetry has been an essential part of Korean life and has been regarded as the highest of the arts. In this first comprehensive anthology of Korean poetry in English first published in 1974 Peter Lee has selected and translated a wide variety of poems ranging from the Silla Dynasty in 57 BC to the middle of the twentieth century. The poems chosen reflect not only the native Korean tradition but also the great tradition of Chinese poetry. They often possess a deep lyrical quality many are rich in religious overtones or derive their beauty from contemplation of nature and through many of the poems runs the feeling of the closeness of Korean life to the earth. | Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

From Trust to Trustworthiness

From Trust to Trustworthiness

Trust is an essential component of social life and yet political polarization and social tensions can easily lead to its erosion. The articles collected in this volume throw a new light on the fundamentals of trust and trustworthiness and thus help us understand better the conditions and the limits of trust. The book brings together some of the best recent thinking on trust from across a broad spectrum of approaches and concerns. The essays range from the more abstract discussions of the conditions and nature of trust to its application to our social and political lives in general alongside more subject specific approaches such as trust in the media. Trust is a thick concept with both epistemic and normative content and significance and several chapters engage with the ethical features of trust in distinct ways and also show the central role of trust in our decision-making. There is also an engagement with the phenomenological approach of Husserl in conjunction with Margaret Gilbert’s theory of political obligation. The final chapter by Onora O’Neill one of the pioneers of the discussions of trust and trustworthiness in recent philosophy links the topic of trust to the central issue of the conditions of trustworthiness. Given the paramount significance of the exercise of trust in our daily lives this book will be of interest to philosophers and non-philosophers alike. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies. | From Trust to Trustworthiness

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.

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Composed of serialized works poems short tales and novellas Charlotte Brontë's juvenilia merit serious scholarly attention as revelatory works in and of themselves as well as for what they tell us about the development of Brontë as a writer. This timely collection attends to both critical strands positioning Brontë as an author whose career encompassed the Romantic and Victorian eras and delving into the developing nineteenth century's literary concerns as well as the growth of the writer's mind. As the contributors show Brontë's authorship took shape among the pages of her juvenilia as figures from Brontë's childhood experience of the world such as Wellington and Napoleon transmuted to her fictional pages while her siblings' works and worlds both overlapped with and extended beyond her own. | Charlotte Brontë from the Beginnings New Essays from the Juvenilia to the Major Works

Goth Music From Sound to Subculture

Goth Music From Sound to Subculture

Is goth music a genre and if so how does it relate to the goth subculture? The music played at goth club nights and festivals encompasses a broad range of musical substyles from gloomy Batcave reverberations to neo-medieval bagpipe drones and from the lush vocals of goth metal to the harsh distortion of goth industrial. Goth Music: From Sound to Subculture argues that within this variegated musical landscape a number of key consistencies exist. Not only do all these goth substyles share a number of musical and textual characteristics but more importantly these aspects of the music are constitutive of goth social reality. Drawing on their own experiences in the European and American goth scenes the authors explore the ways in which the sounds of goth inform the scene’s listening practices its fantasies of other worlds and its re-enchantment of their own world. Goth music this book asserts engenders a musical timespace of its own a musical chronotope that is driven by nostalgic yearning. Goth Music: From Sound to Subculture reorients goth subcultural studies onto music: goth music must be recognized not only as simultaneously diverse and consistent but also as the glue that holds together goth scenes from all over the world. It all starts with the music. | Goth Music From Sound to Subculture
