Net Zero Energy Building Predicted and Unintended Consequences

Net Zero Energy Building Predicted and Unintended Consequences

What do we mean by net zero energy? Zero operating energy? Zero energy costs? Zero emissions? There is no one answer: approaches to net zero building vary widely across the globe and are influenced by different environmental and cultural contexts. Net Zero Energy Building: Predicted and Unintended Consequences presents a comprehensive overview of variations in 'net zero' building practices. Drawing on examples from countries such as the United States United Kingdom Germany Japan Hong Kong and China Ming Hu examines diverse approaches to net zero and reveals their intended and unintended consequences. Existing approaches often focus on operating energy: how to make buildings more efficient by reducing the energy consumed by climate control lighting and appliances. Hu goes beyond this by analyzing overall energy consumption and environmental impact across the entire life cycle of a building—ranging from the manufacture of building materials to transportation renovation and demolition. Is net zero building still achievable once we look at these factors? With clear implications for future practice this is key reading for professionals in building design architecture and construction as well as students on sustainable and green architecture courses. | Net Zero Energy Building Predicted and Unintended Consequences

The Psychoanalytic Zero A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues

The Psychoanalytic Zero A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues

Winner of the 2020 Gradiva Award The Psychoanalytic Zero: A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues is written from the unique perspective of a Western-trained Asian psychoanalyst and applies principles of Eastern philosophy to understand the psychoanalytic relationship psychoanalytic processes and their uses—and limitations—for alleviating human suffering. Bringing a unique Eastern perspective to a previously Western-dominated discipline and framed within the current relational and ethical trends in psychoanalysis the book enables readers to develop a language for understanding an Eastern ethical viewpoint and explore how this language can change our awareness of psychoanalytic practice and human suffering. Chapters are devoted to the Eastern concepts of nothingness emptiness surrender sincerity silence and narrative and issues including existential guilt of being trauma contingency informed consent the sense of being human and uncertainty. Discussions are illustrated and illuminated through vivid recreations and careful elaboration of therapeutic case studies with traumatized patients. The studies demonstrate the process by which patients regain a sense of being human. This enriched perspective will it is hoped help the analyst treat traumatized patients who are unable to relate to others and who do not experience themselves as being human. The Psychoanalytic Zero will enrich an analyst’s sensitivity to the appearance of the moment without context—the psychoanalytic zero—which opens infinite opportunities for continued growth in a psychoanalytic relationship. It will be of great appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in self-psychological intersubjective and relational theories. | The Psychoanalytic Zero A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues

Diffractive Ethnography Social Sciences and the Ontological Turn

Diffractive Ethnography Social Sciences and the Ontological Turn

Across intellectual disciplines the ontological turn is restructuring how we think about our relationships with the natural world. Influenced by the seemingly disparate realms of indigenous philosophy and quantum physics the turn invites us to think about intra-actions and assemblages of human and nonhuman entities. This raises epistemological questions about how we know about the world and spotlights some of the problems with how we currently do conventional social science research. Diffractive Ethnography invites social scientists to consider alternate methodologies that account for the complexity of human behavior situated in larger environmental contexts. For both novice and experienced researchers this thought-provoking book opens new ways of thinking about methodology and raises questions about the ethical and justice orientations of our work. | Diffractive Ethnography Social Sciences and the Ontological Turn

Social and Political Transitions During the Left Turn in Latin America

Social and Political Transitions During the Left Turn in Latin America

Social and Political Transitions During the Left Turn in Latin America provides fourteen contributions to understand from a multidisciplinary perspective processes of socio-political reconfigurations in the region from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s. The Left Turn was the regional shift to left-of-center governments and social movements that sought to replace the neoliberal policies of the 1990s. This volume aims to answer the overarching research question: how do state and societal (national and transnational) actors trigger and shape processes of political and socio-economic transitions in Latin America from the rise to the decline of the Left Turn. The book presents case studies in which transitions are moments of change and uncertainty which one cannot predict their definitive outcomes. The various case studies presented in the book place actors and processes in specific historical and socio-political contexts which are influenced directly or indirectly by the historical trajectory of Latin America’s Left Turn. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of Social and Political History Latin American History and those interested in the social and political developments in Latin America more broadly.

Putin’s “Turn to the East” in the Xi Jinping Era

Putin’s “Turn to the East” in the Xi Jinping Era

Rozman Christoffersen and a team of expert contributors analyze the evolution of Vladimir Putin’s reorientation to Asia since 2012. When Putin announced a “Turn to the East” in Russian foreign policy upon his return to the presidency this was to be strategic reorientation emphasizing multilateralism. As the years have passed however this has turned into a tight reliance on the bilateral relationship with China. Rozman Christoffersen and their team explore how the “Turn” proceeded and developed over the course of a decade ending by examining the impact of the Ukraine war on Sino-Russian relations. Their analysis focuses on Russia’s perspective taking into account an extensive range of Russian publications to look at how priorities shifted. While affirming the continued strengthening of ties between Beijing and Moscow they identify many tensions between them noting especially Russia’s illusions about the relationship. A comprehensive review of Russian policy toward the Indo-Pacific which is essential reading for courses on Russian foreign policy and international relations in East Asia. | Putin’s “Turn to the East” in the Xi Jinping Era

The Cultural Turn in Translation Studies

The Cultural Turn in Translation Studies

Applying the latest Western translation theories to the situation in China this book redefines translation from an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective bringing intercultural semiotic translation into the sight of translation researchers. This book systematically expounds on the cultural turn in translation studies and contributes to the escape of translation studies from the cage of language. It focuses on discussing the deconstructive postmodernist and cultural translation theories that have motivated and promoted the cultural turn especially Benjamin’s translation theory Derrida’s deconstructive view of translation and postcolonial translation theory. It also discusses in detail the theories of major international translation theorists including Hillis Miller Wolfgang Iser Edward Said Gayatri Spivak Homi Bhabha André Lefevere Susan Bassnett and Lawrence Venuti. These theories are mostly based on examples from Western or English-language texts leaving a wide gap in the discourse of the field. This book seeks to fill that gap. For example intercultural semiotic translation is defined and explained through the successful experiences of the Chinese translator Fu Lei. The role of translation during the Chinese revolution and the relocation of Chinese culture in the global cultural landscape through translation are also discussed. This book will be an essential read to students and scholars of translation studies and Chinese studies. It will also be a useful resource for translators and researchers of comparative literature and cultural studies.

Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Written by one of the leading experts in the field Paul Ekins Stopping Climate Change provides a comprehensive overview of what is required to achieve ‘real zero’ carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 and negative emissions thereafter which is the only way to stop human- induced climate change. This will require innovation in socio-technical systems and in human behaviour on an unprecedented scale. Stopping Climate Change describes the changes required to meet this goal: in technologies social institutions and individual activities. Paul Ekins examines in detail issues around the supply and demand of energy and materials and the efficiency of their use. It also analyses greenhouse gas removal technologies offsetting and geoengineering and plots the reduction of the non- CO2 greenhouse gas-emitting activities. Having set out the changes required Ekins considers the economic implications in terms of both the innovation and investments that are necessary to bring them about and the effects that these are likely to have on national economies. The evidence presented points clearly to the economic impacts of decarbonisation being positive for the majority of countries and for the world as a whole even before considering the benefits of avoided climate change. When the health benefits of stopping the burning of fossil fuels are factored in the global net benefits of decarbonisation are unequivocal. Drawing on examples from the UK and Europe but with wider relevance at a global scale Stopping Climate Change clearly shows how determined policy action at different levels could stop climate change. It will be of great interest to students scholars and policymakers researching and working in the field of climate change and energy policy. | Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Trauma Post-Traumatic Mental Functioning the Zero Process and the Construction of Reality

A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Trauma Post-Traumatic Mental Functioning the Zero Process and the Construction of Reality

A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Trauma presents a theory of the nature of trauma and post-traumatic mental functioning based on the concept of the ‘zero process’. Joseph Fernando presents a novel comprehensive and clinically useful theory of trauma. The author first presents theories of trauma and describes the zero process related to the breakdown of various ego functions such as memory and integration during trauma. Rather than replacing Freud’s ideas of the primary process and repression Fernando expands on the idea of the mind to include both types of functioning identifies how they can be differentiated and examines the different therapeutic techniques they require. He also considers how trauma impacts the construction of reality the role of human development the relation of trauma and borderline disorders and the development of therapeutic technique. Through the unique illustration and narration of cases of three patients Fernando presents conceptual and clinical innovations. A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Trauma will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in practice and in training. | A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Trauma Post-Traumatic Mental Functioning the Zero Process and the Construction of Reality

The Linguistic Turn of the English Renaissance A Lacanian Perspective

The Linguistic Turn of the English Renaissance A Lacanian Perspective

The Linguistic Turn of the English Renaissance: A Lacanian Perspective examines a selection of cultural phenomena of the English Renaissance all of which include a focus on language from a Lacanian perspective. The book examines four inter-related cultural symptoms of the English Renaissance: the paucity of painting the interest in rhetoric the emergence of a literary style focusing on form and a fascination with the myth of Orpheus. The book argues that the English Renaissance an apex of rhetorical theory can offer psychoanalysis further knowledge concerning the intrication of language and flesh especially where feminine jouissance is at stake. These language-centred phenomena emerge against the backdrop of a peculiar configuration of the visual field which in contrast to other cultures of the European Renaissance is largely barren of painting other than portraiture. The book will be of interest to psychoanalysts scholars of Renaissance culture and those interested in the psychoanalytic study of culture. | The Linguistic Turn of the English Renaissance A Lacanian Perspective

The Anachronistic Turn Historical Fiction Drama Film and Television

The Anachronistic Turn Historical Fiction Drama Film and Television

The Anachronistic Turn: Historical Fiction Drama Film and Television is the first study to investigate the ways in which the creative use of anachronism in historical fictions can allow us to rethink the relationship between past and present. Through an examination of literary cinematic and popular texts and practices this book investigates how twenty-first-century historical fictions use creative anachronisms as a way of understanding modern issues and anxieties. Drawing together a wide range of texts across all forms of historical fiction – novels dramas musicals films and television – this book re-frames anachronism not as an error but as a deliberate strategy that emphasises the fictionalising tendencies of all forms of historical writing. The book achieves this by exploring three core themes: the developing trends in the twenty-first century for creators of historical fiction to include deliberate anachronisms such as contemporary references music and language; the ways in which the deliberate use of anachronism in historical fiction can allow us to rethink the relationship between past and present; and the way that contemporary historical fiction uses anachronism to better understand modern issues and anxieties. This book will appeal to students and scholars of historical fiction contemporary historical film and television studies and historical theatre studies. | The Anachronistic Turn Historical Fiction Drama Film and Television

Right Turn William Bradford Reynolds the Reagan Administration and Black Civil Rights

Right Turn William Bradford Reynolds the Reagan Administration and Black Civil Rights

In the spirit of the time the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 called for nondiscrimination for American citizens seeking equality without regard for race color or creed. After the mid-1960s to make amends for wrongs of the past some people called for benign discrimination to give blacks a special boost. In business and government this could be accomplished through racial preferences or quotas; in public education by considering race when assigning students to schools. By 1980 this course reached a crossroads. Raymond Wolters maintains that Ronald Reagan and William Bradford Reynolds made the right turn when they questioned and limited the use of racial considerations in drawing electoral boundaries. He also documents the Reagan administration's considerable success in reinforcing within the country and reviving within the judiciary the conviction that every person black or white should be considered an individual with unique talents and inalienable rights. This book begins with a biographical chapter on William Bradford Reynolds the Assistant Attorney General who was the principal architect of Reagan's civil rights policies. It then analyzes three main civil rights issues: voting rights affirmative action and school desegregation. Wolters describes specific cases: at-large elections and minority vote dilutions; congressional districting in New Orleans; legislative districting in North Carolina; the debates over the Civil Rights Act of 1964; social science critiques of affirmative action; the question of quotas; and school desegregation and forced busing. Because Ronald Reagan and William Bradford Reynolds were men of the right and because most journalists and historians are on the left Wolters feels the people of words have dealt harshly with the Reagan administration. In writing this book he hopes to correct the record on a subject that has been badly represented. Wolters points out that beginning in the 1980s and continuing in the 1990s the Supreme Court endorsed the legal arguments that Reagan's lawyers developed in the fields of voting rights affirmative action and school desegregation. In Right Turn Wolters responds to those who claimed that Reagan and Reynolds were racists who wanted to turn back the clock on civil rights and he describes civil rights cases and controversies in a way that is comprehensible to general readers as well as to lawyers and historians. | Right Turn William Bradford Reynolds the Reagan Administration and Black Civil Rights

Modern Murders The Turn-of-the-Century's Backlash Against Melodramatic and Sensational Representations of Murder 1880–1914

Modern Murders The Turn-of-the-Century's Backlash Against Melodramatic and Sensational Representations of Murder 1880–1914

Modern Murders is the first comprehensive study of murder representations during the turn of the century drawing on previously neglected archival material to explore the intellectual cultural and artistic contexts of the period. Most studies view the abundance of murder representations throughout the nineteenth century as an indicator of a supposedly typical Victorian appetite for sensation and melodrama. Modern Murders however demonstrates the turn of the century's backlash against melodramatic and sensational representations of murder and reads them as an important component in the struggles for better aesthetic standards in art and entertainment and as a dominant feature in the debates on mass culture. Through a plethora of visual and written texts representations of fictional and actual real life murders and high and popular forms of writing the volume considers the importance of murder in the elite claim to cultural authority versus its perception of plebian taste in the context of the democratization of culture. This book will be of value to scholars and graduate students in a variety of research areas as well as general readers interested in the role of murder as a central trope in modern art and culture. | Modern Murders The Turn-of-the-Century's Backlash Against Melodramatic and Sensational Representations of Murder 1880–1914
