Biopolitics and Resistance in Legal Education

Biopolitics and Resistance in Legal Education

Taking up the study of legal education in distinctly biopolitical terms this book provides a critical and political analysis of resistance in the law school. Legal education concerns the complex pathways by which an individual becomes a lawyer making the journey from lay-person to expert from student to practitioner. To pose the idea of a biopolitics of legal education is not only to recognise the tensions surrounding this journey but also to recognise that legal education is a key site in which the subject engages and is engaged by a particular structure—and here the particular structure of the law school. This book explores the resistance to that structure including: different ways in which law’s pedagogic structures might be incomplete or are being fought against; the use of less conventional elements of cultural discourse to resist the abstraction of the lawyer in students’ subject formation; the centralisation of queer and feminist discourses to disrupt the hierarchies of the legal curriculum; the use of digital technologies; the place of embodiment in legal education settings; and the impacts of posthuman knowledges and contexts on legal learning. Assembling original field-defining essays by both leading international scholars and emerging researchers this book constitutes an indispensable resource in legal education research and scholarship that will appeal to legal academics everywhere. | Biopolitics and Resistance in Legal Education

Magic and Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World Studies in Honor of Christopher A. Faraone

Magic and Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World Studies in Honor of Christopher A. Faraone

This volume explores aspects of ancient magic and religion in the ancient Mediterranean specifically ways in which religious and mythical ideas including the knowledge and practice of magic were transmitted and adapted through time and across Greco-Roman Near Eastern and Egyptian cultures. Offering an original and innovative combination of case studies on the material aspects and cross-cultural transfers of magic and religion this book brings together a range of contributions that cross and connect sub-fields with a pan-Mediterranean comparative scope. Section I investigates the material aspects of magical practices including first editions and original studies on papyri gems lamellae containing binding curses and protective texts and other textual media in ancient book culture. Several chapters feature the Greco-Egyptian Magical Papyri the compilation of magical recipes in the formularies and the role of physical book-forms in the transmission of magical knowledge. Section II explores magic and religion as nodes of cultural exchange in the ancient Mediterranean. Case studies range from Egypt to Anatolia and from Syria-Phoenicia to Sicily with Greco-Roman religion and myth integrated in a diverse and interconnected Mediterranean landscape. Readers encounter studies featuring charismatic figures of Magi and itinerant begging priests the multiple understandings of deities such as Hekate Herakles or Aphrodite or the perceived exotic origin of cult statues mummies amulets and cursing formulae which bring to light the rich intercultural networks of the ancient Mediterranean and the crucial role of magic and religion in the process of cross-cultural adaptation and innovation. Magic and Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World appeals to both specialized and non-specialized audiences with expert contributions written in an accessible way. This is a fascinating resource for students and scholars working on magic religion and mythology in the ancient Mediterranean. | Magic and Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World Studies in Honor of Christopher A.

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

This book examines many facets of transcultural poetics in the English translation of Chinese literature from 12 different expert contributors. Translating Chinese literature into English is a special challenge. There is a pressing need to overcome a slew of obstacles to the understanding and appreciation of Chinese literary works by readers in the English-speaking world. Hitherto only intermittent attempts have been made to theorize and explore the exact role of the translator as a cultural and aesthetic mediator informed by cross-cultural knowledge awareness and sensitivity. Given the complexity of literary translation sophisticated poetics of translation in terms of literary value and aesthetic taste needs to be developed and elaborated more fully from a cross-cultural perspective. It is therefore necessary to examine attempts to reconcile the desire for authentic transmission of Chinese culture with the need for cultural mediation and appropriation in terms of the production and reception of texts subject to the multiplicity of constraints in order to shed new light on the longstanding conundrum of Chinese-English literary translation by addressing Chinese literature in the multiple contexts of nationalism cross-cultural hybridity literary untranslatability the reception of translation and also world literature. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of translation studies Chinese literature and East Asian studies. | Transcultural Poetics Chinese Literature in English Translation

Politico-ideological Mobilisation and Violence in the Arab World All In

Politico-ideological Mobilisation and Violence in the Arab World All In

This book presents a study of politico-ideological mobilisation and violence by focusing on the life stories trajectories and narratives of individuals who mobilised for causes and conflicts in the Arab World. It provides a greater understanding of the biographical sociological political and historic factors pertinent for their radicalisation processes. What makes individuals identify with suffering and injustice often of others and elsewhere? Why do individuals feel the need to stand up in the first place and how does violent action become a justifiable or necessary course of action? Why and how do they disengage from violence? This book based on interviews conducted in Lebanon Switzerland and Canada answers these questions. It presents new theoretical insights about politico-ideological mobilisation and violence. By focusing on grievances and grounding analysis in the empirical reality as it is shared and narratively constructed by those who are at the heart of the phenomenon it moves beyond the moralistic and politicised debates that characterise the field. Interviewees include non-violent and violent engagement for causes and conflicts related to the Arab World such as sympathisers or members of groups and causes from a variety of ideological orientations including Shiite militias Salafi-jihadist groups radical left-wing groups Palestine-specific Kurdish groups and others such as right-wing or unspecified affiliations. By choosing individuals with different forms of political engagement both non-violent and violent and different ideological orientations it helps readers to get a better grasp of how similar grievances may lead to different outcomes. In focusing on three markedly different geopolitical contexts the book also provides a crosscontextual understanding of mobilisation for political and violent action. The interviewees also include experts and peripheral actors such as professionals researchers policymakers friends or family members. Their perspectives complement and enrich some of the findings by providing external yet in-depth ‘expert knowledge’. Politico-ideological Mobilisation and Violence in the Arab World will be of great interest to criminologists political scientists sociologists and other scholars interested in the study of terrorism radicalisation and extremism. It will also appeal to journalists policymakers practitioners working in the field.

The Economic Section 1939-1961 A Study In Economic Advising

The Economic Section 1939-1961 A Study In Economic Advising

First published in 1989 The Economic Section 1939-1961 is a rare study of economic policymaking as seen from the inside. The Economic Section formed in 1939-1940 was the first group of professional economists to operate full-time at the centre of government in the United Kingdom and its views on many issues of economic policy were frequently decisive. In this volume two former members of the Section draw on their memories and on the public records to trace the history of the Section from the early days of the war to the end of the 1950s. Alec Cairncross and Nita Watts discuss the advice offered by the Section the controversies that followed advisers and how Ministers responded. They present a picture of the day-to-day working of the Section but inevitably focus on the more dramatic episodes when major issues of policy were in dispute or important new issues were posed. Separate chapters are devoted to the Section’s role in four main areas: fiscal monetary incomes and external economic policy. In illuminating influence on policy exercised by officials and the place of expert advice in economic management this work will appeal to a wide range of readers. It offers the student of economics or politics a picture of what in practice goes to the making of economic policy. | The Economic Section 1939-1961 A Study In Economic Advising

Counselling Children and Young People in Private Practice A Practical Guide

Counselling Children and Young People in Private Practice A Practical Guide

With statutory CAMHS services often heavily oversubscribed and school and college services mainly offering brief therapeutic interventions parents are increasingly turning to private practitioners for therapy for their children when they need expert emotional or psychological support. Working privately with children and families can be a rewarding experience for counsellors and psychotherapists but it can also be fraught with concerns for both practitioners and families alike. These concerns can seem so daunting that therapists with clinical experience of therapy with children continue to limit themselves to working only in education or statutory settings. This book offers comprehensive guidance to both experienced and novice counsellors to assist them in the process of setting up or adapting their private practice to include children and young people. It coherently and systematically addresses the obstacles which stand in the way of practitioners offering this important service effectively and ethically. The book is divided into four parts and uses case material to bring to life the areas covered by each chapter. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key points covered. | Counselling Children and Young People in Private Practice A Practical Guide

Beyond the Policy Cycle The policy process in Australia

Beyond the Policy Cycle The policy process in Australia

It is common (and comforting) to see public policy as the result of careful craft work by expert officials who recognise a problem identify and evaluate possible responses and choose the most appropriate strategy the policy cycle'. The reality is more complex and challenging. Many hands are involved in policy-making not all of them official they are not all addressing the same problem they have different ideas about what would be a good answer and the process is rarely brought to a neat close by a clear decision. The development of policy can resemble firefighting with players rushing to react to demands for action in areas that are already in crisis or it can be a less frenetic process of weaving as they search for an outcome which reflects the concerns of all the stakeholders. Effective participation in the policy process calls for a clear understanding of this complexity and ambiguity. Beyond the Policy Cycle sets policy in this wider context. It recognises that participants in the process are drawn from both government and diverse areas outside government and looks not at a model' process but rather at how the game is played: how issues rise to prominence who is actually doing the work and exactly what it is that they are doing. With detailed Australian case studies and examining the implications of recent trends in policy such as the outsourcing of service provision Beyond the Policy Cycle offers students and practitioners a critical and engaged look at the activity of policy that reflects the reality of the policy experience. | Beyond the Policy Cycle The policy process in Australia

Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Literary works play a crucial role in modelling and conceptualising temporalities. This becomes particularly apparent in times of crises which put conventionalised temporal patterns and routines under pressure. During crises past present and future appear to collapse into each other and give way to temporal disjunction and rupture. Offering pluralised and context-sensitive approaches to temporalities in and of crises this volume explores how literature’s engagement with crises suggests both the need for and possibility of rethinking ‘time’. The volume is committed to examining the affordances of specific genres and their potential in pointing beyond temporalities of crises to facilitate a sense of futurity. Individual essays are grounded in recent theories of temporality and literary form which are related to novel advancements in ecocriticism queer studies affect theory and postcolonial studies. The chapters cover a broad range of examples from different literary genres to reveal the knowledge of literature about temporalities in and of crises. | Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures
