Being Alive Essays on Movement Knowledge and Description

Being Alive Essays on Movement Knowledge and Description

Anthropology is a disciplined inquiry into the conditions and potentials of human life. Generations of theorists however have expunged life from their accounts treating it as the mere output of patterns codes structures or systems variously defined as genetic or cultural natural or social. Building on his classic work The Perception of the Environment Tim Ingold sets out to restore life to where it should belong at the heart of anthropological concern. Being Alive ranges over such themes as the vitality of materials; what it means to make things; the perception and formation of the ground; the mingling of earth and sky in the weather-world; the experiences of light sound and feeling; the role of storytelling in the integration of knowledge; and the potential of drawing to unite observation and description. Our humanity Ingold argues does not come ready-made but is continually fashioned in our movements along ways of life. Starting from the idea of life as a process of wayfaring Ingold presents a radically new understanding of movement knowledge and description as dimensions not just of being in the world but of being alive to what is going on there. This edition includes a new preface by the author. | Being Alive Essays on Movement Knowledge and Description

Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Chartism the British mass movement for democratic and social rights in the 1830s and 1840s was profoundly shaped by the radical tradition from which it emerged. Yet little attention has been paid to how Chartists saw themselves in relation to this diverse radical tradition or to the ways in which they invented their own tradition. Paine Cobbett and other ‘founding fathers’ dead and alive were used and in some cases abused by Chartists in their own attempts to invent a radical tradition. By drawing on new and exciting work in the fields of visual and material culture; cultures of heroism memory and commemoration; critical heritage studies; and the history of political thought this book explores the complex cultural work that radical heroes were made to perform. | Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Tamil Nationalism in Sri Lanka Counter-history as War after the Tamil Tigers

Tamil Nationalism in Sri Lanka Counter-history as War after the Tamil Tigers

This book examines Tamil nationalism in Sri Lanka and provides insights on how Tamil nationalism has survived the destruction of the Tamil Tigers after May 2009 and continues to thrive despite the absence of a charismatic leadership to lead it or a centralised organisation to mobilise the Tamils along ethnic nationalistic lines. The ethnic nationalist ideology shaped up by the Tamil Tigers continues to remain the driving force of the Tamil polity in Sri Lanka and the Diaspora. Using a Foucauldian counter-historical theoretical framework the author analyses and offers answers to these questions: What is keeping Tamil nationalism alive despite the demise of the Tamil Tigers over a decade ago? Why do many Tamils in Sri Lanka and abroad refuse to accept a Sri Lankan political identity? How are Tamils able to continue on a nationalist path despite the absence of a unified political leadership? The book argues that Tamil nationalism has survived the latter’s destruction because it has become counter-historical. It is this that has allowed despite the internecine rivalries between Tamil political parties and Diaspora groups the Tamil nationalist spirit to remain alive. The author also suggests that counter-history has for many Tamil political parties and Diaspora groups become the means of waging war other than through an armed struggle against the Sri Lankan state. Based on field research interviews and documentary analysis the book provides empirical and unique insights on Foucault’s thesis that power is multifaceted and can function in the absence of centralised mechanisms. This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Politics and International Relations in particular those working on ethnic nationalism post-armed conflict peacebuilding/conflict resolution the politics in Sri Lanka diaspora politics and Foucault. | Tamil Nationalism in Sri Lanka Counter-history as War after the Tamil Tigers

The Perception of Causality

The Perception of Causality

Originally published in 1963 this is a classic work on the psychology of perception. By means of suitable patterns on a partly concealed rotating disc Michotte was able to give the impression of objects in movement; and where certain conditions of speed position and time-interval were satisfied his subjects received the impression of a causal interaction between two objects – for example the impression that one object has ‘bumped into’ another (the ‘Launching Effect’) or is carrying it along (the ‘Entraining Effect’). In a further group of experiments Michotte studies the conditions in which moving objects look as though they are alive. A large number of experiments are described and on the basis of them Michotte formulates a theory as to the conditions in which causal impressions occur. He also compares his own views on causality with those of Hume Maine de Biran and Piaget. | The Perception of Causality

The Indecent Theologies of Marcella Althaus-Reid Voices from Asia and Latin America

The Indecent Theologies of Marcella Althaus-Reid Voices from Asia and Latin America

This book celebrates the legacy of theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid (1952‑2009) and her particular influence in Asia and South America.

Contributors to this book succinctly investigate aspects of the vast work of Althaus-Reid by discussing issues of gender race and sexuality in Asia and South America utilising the liberation queer and indecent theologies she espoused. Each chapter demonstrates how her legacy is alive and thriving today but also points towards to the potential future impact of her prolific theological output. By highlighting the ground-breaking work of Althaus-Reid this book will serve as a key reference for scholars of Liberation Queer and Indecent Theology as well as Asian and Latinx religions. | The Indecent Theologies of Marcella Althaus-Reid Voices from Asia and Latin America

Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

The idea that plants have minds can sound improbable but some widely respected contemporary scientists and philosophers find it plausible. It turns out to be rather tricky to vindicate the presumption that plants do not have minds for doing so requires getting clear about what plants can do and what exactly a mind is. By connecting the most compelling empirical work on plant behavior with philosophical reflection on the concept of minds Plant Minds aims to help non-experts begin to think clearly about whether plants have minds. Relying on current consensus ideas about minds and plants Chauncey Maher first presents the best case for thinking that plants do not have minds. Along the way however he unearths an idea at the root of that case the idea that having a mind requires the capacity to represent the world. In the last chapter he defends a relatively new and insightful theory of mind that rejects that assumption making room for the possibility that plants do have minds primarily because they are alive. | Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

Balint Matters Psychosomatics and the Art of Assessment

Balint Matters Psychosomatics and the Art of Assessment

This book explores the life and theories of Michael Balint who kept alive Ferenczi's analytic traditions in Budapest and brought them to London where they became a vital part of the Independent Group's theory and practice. Balint's theoretical understanding of regression 'new beginnings' 'basic fault' as well as his profound impact on medicine are all described. The work in the Balint groups by general practitioners psychiatrists and physicians are explored. Whole person and psychosomatic medicine championed by Balint is contrasted with today's more compartmentalised approach to medicine including the increasing separation of the GP from the family. In the second part of the book Dr Sklar reflects on the complex tasks involved in psychodynamic assessment. Vignettes illustrate the importance of understanding the forces in family dynamics the value of an early memory and a dream and the sexual life of the patient. The author argues that Balint's ideas are of particular significance to us today in our world of quick fixes and the overspecialisation of medicine. | Balint Matters Psychosomatics and the Art of Assessment

The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

This title was first published in 2001. These collected essays by Patricia Cox Miller identify new possibilities of meaning in the study of religion in late antiquity. The book addresses the topic of the imaginative mindset of late ancient authors from a variety of Greco-Roman religious traditions. Attending to the play of language as well as to the late ancient sensitivity to image metaphor and paradox Cox Miller's work highlights the poetizing sensibility that marked many of the texts of this period and draws on methods of interpretation from a variety of contemporary literary-critical theories. This book will appeal to scholars of late antiquity religious literature and literary critical theory more widely illustrating how fruitful dialogue across the centuries can be - not only in eliciting aspects of late ancient texts that have gone unnoticed but also in showing that many 'modern' ideas such as Roland Barthes' were actually already alive and well in ancient texts. | The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Contemporary political and public discourse has come alive with the issues and conflicts surrounding questions of national identity. Despite the widespread sociological attention it has drawn as a result most studies of national identity have been conducted at considerable analytical distance from the lived reality of national identity talk. This collection brings together the work of contemporary researchers situating the talk and interaction in which national identities are actually expressed and used. The book presents detailed investigations of how persons actually use national identity in their talk the interactional uses to which such expressions are put and the interactional consequences of such identity talk. The studies are based on transcribed tape recordings of naturally occurring talk across a variety of different countries and settings illuminating not only situated national identity talk as a phenomenon in its own right but also providing empirically grounded research for traditional sociological theorising about issues of integration devolution and exclusion. | Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction
