Existentialism From Dostoevsky To Sartre: Basic Writings Of Existentialism By Sartre, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Kafka, Heidegger, And Others
by Walter KaufmannWhat is Existentialism? It is perhaps the most misunderstood of modern philosophic positions--misunderstood by reason of its broad popularity and general unfamiliarity with its origins, representatives, and principles.Existential thinking does not originate with Jean Paul Sartre. It has prior religious, literary, and philosophic origins. In its narrowest formulation it is a metaphysical doctrine, arguing as it does that any definition of man's essence must follow, not precede, an estimation of his existence. In Heidegger, it affords a view of Being in its totality; in Kierkegaard an approach to that inwardness indispensable to authentic religious experience; for Dostoevsky, Kafka, and Rilke the existential situation bears the stamp of modern man's alienation, uprootedness, and absurdity; to Sartre it has vast ethical and political implications.Walter Kaufmann, author of Nietzsche, is eminently qualified to present and interpret the insights of existentialism as they occur and are deepened by the major thinkers who express them.In every case complete selections or entire works have been employed: The Wall, Existentialism, and the complete chapter on "Self-Deception" from L'être et le Néant by Sartre; two lectures from Jaspers' book Reason and Existenz; original translations of On My Philosophy by Jaspers and The Way Back into the Ground of Metaphysics by Heidegger. There is, as well, material from Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rilke, and Camus.
Exit: The Endings That Set Us Free
by Sara Lawrence-LightfootFrom a renowned sociologist, the wisdom of saying goodbyeSara Lawrence-Lightfoot is enthralled by exits: long farewells, quick goodbyes, sudden endings, the ordinary and the extraordinary. There's a relationship, she attests, between small goodbyes and our ability "to master and mark the larger farewells."In Exit, her tenth book, she explores the ways we leave one thing and move on to the next; how we anticipate, define, and reflect on our departures; our epiphanies that something is over and done with. Lawrence-Lightfoot, a sociologist and a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has interviewed more than a dozen women and men in states of major change, and she paints their portraits with sympathy and insight: a gay man who finds home and wholeness after coming out; a sixteen-year-old boy forced to leave Iran in the midst of the violent civil war; a Catholic priest who leaves the church he has always been devoted to, he life he has loved, and the work that has been deeply fulfilling; an anthropologist who carefully stages her departure from he "field" after four years of research; and many more.Too often, Lawrence-Lightfoot believes, we exalt new beginnings at the expense of learning from our goodbyes. Exit finds wisdom and perspective in the possibility of moving on and marks the start of a new conversation, to help us discover how we might make our exits with purpose and dignity.
Exkludierende Solidarität der Rechten
by Philipp Rhein Giuliana Sorce Daniel Lehnert Tobias Kaphegyi„Exkludierende Solidarität der Rechten“ erkundet das Potential des Konzepts der „exkludierenden Solidarität" als theoretischen Ansatz zur Analyse von politischen Programmatiken, sozialen Welt- und Wertvorstellungen sowie medialen Diskursen im Kontext rechter Parteien und Bewegungen. Welche Formen nimmt Solidarität im Rechtspopulismus an? Wie findet sie gesellschaftliche Resonanz? Und wer wird einbezogen bzw. ausgeschlossen? Neben theoretisch-begrifflichen Erörterungen des Konzeptes diskutieren die empirischen Beiträge sowohl aktuelle sozialpolitische Strategien als auch mediale Erscheinungsformen exkludierender Solidarität und beleuchten die Affekte, die hinter den Erfolgen rechter Gruppierungen stehen.
Exklusionserfahrungen geflüchteter Menschen aus Kamerun
by Ingmar ZalewskiWährend in den gegenwärtigen Debatten um Flucht und Asyl vorwiegend über Geflüchtete gesprochen wird, liefert Ingmar Zalewski einen empirischen Beitrag aus der Perspektive der Betroffenen. Er stellt dar, wie Menschen aus Kamerun während ihres Asylverfahrens durch Benachteiligungen, Bevormundungen sowie alltagsrassistische Erfahrungen in einen Strudel sozialer Exklusionsmechanismen geraten. Datengrundlage ist ein mehrmonatiger Aufenthalt in einem Brandenburger Geflüchtetenheim, im Zuge dessen die Subjektperspektive der Geflüchteten durch teilnehmende Beobachtungen und qualitative Einzelinterviews erschlossen wurde. Diese sozialpsychologische Feldstudie liefert einen Debattenbeitrag, der sich einem vereinseitigten Verständnis von Integration entzieht und eindringlich die Frage nach gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe stellt.
Exodus to the Virtual World: How Online Fun Is Changing Reality
by Edward CastronovaVirtual worlds have exploded out of online game culture and now capture the attention of millions of ordinary people: husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, workers, retirees. Devoting dozens of hours each week to massively multiplayer virtual reality environments (like World of Warcraft and Second Life), these millions are the start of an exodus into the refuge of fantasy, where they experience life under a new social, political, and economic order built around fun. Given the choice between a fantasy world and the real world, how many of us would choose reality? Exodus to the Virtual World explains the growing migration into virtual reality, and how it will change the way we live--both in fantasy worlds and in the real one.
Exoskeletal Devices and the Body: Deviant Bodies, Extended Bodies (Routledge Advances in Sociology)
by Denisa ButnaruThis book enquires from a sociological perspective into contemporary corporeal transformations brought about by exoskeletal devices. Challenging material boundaries of human bodies, their capacities, (in)abilities and skills, exoskeletal devices question social norms of corporeal “deviance” and “extension.” Through multi-sited ethnography, interviews and analyses of contemporary science and technology studies (STS), sociological literature and current approaches from the phenomenology of the body, this book shows how exoskeletons contribute to forging three contemporary “corporeal worlds”: impairment, ability and above-average ability. The text questions deeply held ideas about enhancement and augmentation, corporeal deviance and “normality,” in the three studied fields of rehabilitation, industry and the armed forces. It will appeal to scholars and advanced students across the social sciences and humanities, including from sociology, philosophy, body studies, and science and technology studies.
Expanding Addiction: Critical Essays
by Robert Granfield Craig ReinarmanThe study of addiction is dominated by a narrow disease ideology that leads to biological reductionism. In this short volume, editors Granfield and Reinarman make clear the importance of a more balanced contextual approach to addiction by bringing to light critical perspectives that expose the historical and cultural interstices in which the disease concept of addiction is constructed and deployed. The readings selected for this anthology include both classic foundational pieces and cutting-edge contemporary works that constitute critical addiction studies. This book is a welcome addition to drugs or addiction courses in sociology, criminal justice, mental health, clinical psychology, social work, and counseling.
Expanding Class: Power and Everyday Politics in Industrial Communities, The Netherlands 1850–1950
by Don KalbExpanding Class is the study and story of industrial class relations in North Brabant, a Catholic province of The Netherlands, over a hundred-year period. In examining the lives of workers in one of Europe's more idiosyncratic industrial regions, Don Kalb affirms the utility of class analysis while responding to the cultural critics who have encouraged a movement away from this focus in labor history. In so doing, Expanding Class advances an interdisciplinary historical anthropology of working-class formation. Basing his analysis on oral as well as archival sources, Kalb reveals a dynamic relationship between capitalist industrialization, locality, and cultural class identities.Expanding Class compares Brabant's quaint central shoemaking district to its electrical boomtown Eindhoven, home of the enormous Philips Corporation. It introduces the concept of "flexible familism," a sociological phenomenon in which family daughters were employed to facilitate a cheap and ample labor force. Industrialists manipulated and fostered flexible familism to ensure the discipline and loyalty of the working-class community. By using the industrial Netherlands as a paradigm, Kalb reveals new and productive ways to examine class construction and the development of labor history in other countries over the past thirty years, steering a path between the two schools of thought--cultural and economic--that have dominated labor history discussions in recent years.
Expanding Curriculum Theory: Dis/positions and Lines of Flight (Studies in Curriculum Theory Series)
by William M. Reynolds Julie A. WebberExpanding Curriculum Theory, Second Edition carries through the major focus of the original volume—to reflect on the influence of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of "lines of flight" and its application to curriculum theorizing. What is different is that the lines of flight have since shifted and produced expanded understandings of this concept for curriculum theory and for education in general. This edition reflects the impact of events that have contributed to this shift, in particular the (il)logic of school policy changes and reforms in the past decade, and the continued explosion of social media and its effect on the collective understanding of how both "knowledge" and "education" work as forms of repression. The introduction updates the text and puts it into current debates in the field and in the larger socio-economic milieu. New dis/positions are presented that explore central questions circulating within and outside curriculum studies. Exciting scholarship on a range of topics includes notions of desire and commodities, youth culture and violence, new directions in curriculum theory, Eco-Ethical consciousness, new Deleuzian views of normality, the diffusion of technology and lines of flight in transnational curriculum inquiry.

Expanding the Gaze: Gender and the Politics of Surveillance
by Emily van der Meulen Robert HeynenFrom sexualized selfies and hidden camera documentaries to the bouncers monitoring patrons at Australian nightclubs, the ubiquity of contemporary surveillance goes far beyond the National Security Agency's bulk data collection or the proliferation of security cameras on every corner.Expanding the Gaze is a collection of important new empirical and theoretical works that demonstrate the significance of the gendered dynamics of surveillance. Bringing together contributors from criminology, sociology, communication studies, and women's studies, the eleven essays in the volume suggest that we cannot properly understand the implications of the rapid expansion of surveillance practices today without paying close attention to its gendered nature. Together, they constitute a timely interdisciplinary contribution to the development of feminist surveillance studies.

Expansion or Exodus: Why Do Russian Corporations Invest Abroad?
by Kari LiuhtoEvaluate the impact of Russia&’s global business expansion Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, tremendous changes have taken place in the Russian Federation&’s trade relationship with other countries-especially with former allies. Expansion or Exodus examines how and why Russian corporations invest outside the country and why most of that money remains abroad as the growth and performance of these companies increases at an accelerated rate. As the Federation moves closer to joining the World Trade Organization, this timely book provides a global view of Russia&’s outward expansion, exploring the operations of Russian firms in old, new, and forthcoming European Union member states. Russian corporations have invested 50-70 billion USD abroad in the last five years, with global energy giant Gazprom leading the way. Although some of the Russian money has returned home, most of it remains abroad, largely in the EU and the United States. Many ex-socialist countries fear the Russian government is using its energy companies as foreign policy tools and in some cases, those fears have been grounded. But the outward expansion of Russian firms has become less motivated by politics as non-energy-related companies have begun their internationalization. Expansion or Exodus examines the vital issues surrounding Russia&’s outward foreign direct investments, including: how a lower-middle income country has become a net capital exporter how larger export-oriented Russian companies have used Germany as entry to Europe how Russian direct investments in Poland led to corruption and political involvement why foreign direct investments in the Baltic States have been met with suspicion why natural resource-based companies have been main drivers of international growth of Russian economy and how manufacturing and telecommunication industries are catching up the development of a Lithuanian oil refinery from state-ownership to privatization by an American corporation to acquisition with Russian capital the international activities of the leading Russian companies in several industrial sectors the majors factors that form contemporary Russian business culture the negative features of receiving Russian investments the outward internationalization of Russia&’s telecommunication company Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) and much moreExpansion or Exodus is an invaluable resource for the international business community, policymakers, and academics.
Expansive Discourses: Urban Sprawl in Calgary, 1945-1978

Expansive Leadership: Cultivating Mindfulness to Lead Self and Others in a Changing World – A 28-Day Program
by Latha PoonamalleeThe structured 28-day mindfulness and contemplative journey presented in this book will help aspiring and current leaders to clarify their identities, and identify and reflect on their mental models to become more expansive leaders. The present moment demands new ways of being, doing, and relating with the world. To meet this moment, we need fresh, collective, inclusive, and interdependent models of leadership and new approaches to leadership development. This book goes beyond the ‘McMindfulness’ often seen in mindful leadership books, to offer a multi-faceted approach to develop a more interconnected sense of self and interdependence-centric mindsets needed for expansive leadership, through mindfulness practice. Through this practice, leaders can cultivate the ability to make deliberate choices using slow thinking and overcome any unconscious and implicit biases that are the result of fast-thinking processes. Anchored in insights from over ten years of teaching mindfulness-based leadership development courses, this book is an invitation to explore how to be a leader in an expansive, inclusive, robust, and resilient way. The reader will have an opportunity to define and refine their identity, uncover their personal mental models, and conclude by developing their own leadership philosophy. Leadership development professionals and teachers can adopt this for their students, coaching, and consulting clients.
Expatriate Managers: The Paradoxes of Living and Working Abroad (Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy)
by Anna Spiegel Ursula Mense-Petermann Bastian BredenkötterSince the 1990s, economic and cultural globalization has propelled the transnational mobility of managers and fueled cross-border careers. Some scholars have argued for the emergence of a new global business elite with cosmopolitan mind-sets and homogeneous lifestyles, while others have highlighted their disconnection from the local surroundings and their everyday life within national expatriate ‘bubbles’. Thus, the question of whether today’s mobile professionals can be described as interculturally open and competent cosmopolitans, or as pronounced anti-cosmopolitans, is still unanswered. Expatriate Managers and the Paradoxes of Working and Living Abroad considers a core protagonist of economic globalization and the management of MNCs through the lens of a practice-based theoretical approach whilst seeking to address this question by building on intensive ethnographic case studies of expatriate managers, most of them high-ranking executives, from two comparative different home countries, the US and Germany. These managers, together with their families, have been assigned to China, Germany, or the US to perform demanding coordination tasks within their multinational corporations (MNCs). Based on detailed accounts of expatriate managers’ experiences and everyday practices, the book reveals the multiple and sometimes paradoxical ways in which they deal with cultural differences as they build up new forms of working, belonging and dwelling. The findings suggest that the newly emerging mind-sets and lifestyles of expatriate managers transcend the polarized images of mobile elites as either cosmopolitan ‘global managers’ or parochial anti-cosmopolitans. Expatriate Managers and the Paradoxes of Working and Living Abroad examines the global elite from an everyday perspective, showing that understanding the dynamics of a global economy requires probing into the lifeworld’s agency and everyday arrangements of the social actors who are putting globalization into practice.
Expatriates and Managing Global Mobility (SIOP Organizational Frontiers Series)
by Angelo DeNisi Soo Min TohMultinational enterprises continue to rely heavily upon expatriates as part of their global workforce. These expatriates, whose exact employment contract may take different forms, are assigned to help them develop global skills as well as to foster knowledge transfer. But managing this expatriate workforce is extremely complex, requiring a questioning of assumptions and sensitivity to new social and cultural dynamics. This book sets out to examine the problem of expatriate management through an I/O Psychology lens. Each chapter draws upon the expertise of scholars from around the world to provide insights into the latest research findings and remaining needs, pertaining to a wide variety of issues. The contributors of this book review the current state of the research of the issue at hand and then make recommendations for where the new frontiers of the research should be in the coming decades. This volume covers four sets of issues pertaining to expatriate management and global mobility in depth. First, the different decision points organizations must make about assigning someone to an overseas location for some period of time; second the different categories of employees in the multinational corporation and their unique characteristics and challenges; third, the various issues and implications of managing a globally mobile workforce; and fourth, the unique contexts of global mobility. Overarching future research themes are identified that lay out the research agenda for the coming decades. By bringing together key research, this book aims to help I/O psychologists understand, explore, and identify new ways of contributing to the understanding of the issues involved in managing an expatriate workforce. Incorporating state-of-the art I/O psychology research in this unique context bears the promise of yielding important new paradigms and practices.
Expatriates – Eine verhaltensökonomische Analyse von Erfolgsfaktoren (BestMasters)
by Karishma HerbertBedeutende Megatrends wie Globalisierung und Fachkräfteengpässe bewirken, dass multinationale Unternehmen mehr Führungs- und Fachkräfte ins Ausland senden oder diese selbst aus Eigenmotivation für mehrere Monate bis Jahre im Ausland arbeiten. Eine Auslandsentsendung bietet sowohl für die Unternehmen als auch die entsandten Mitarbeiter (Expatriates) neue Chancen und Potenziale. Doch was ist für einen Expatriate wichtig, um sich erfolgreich in einem Auslandseinsatz an die neuen Umstände sowie das neue Arbeitsumfeld anzupassen und gute berufliche Leistungen zu erzielen? Dieses Buch untersucht das Thema aus der verhaltensökonomischen Perspektive und beleuchtet, welche Verhaltensaspekte der Expatriates und ihrer Unternehmen zu einem erfolgreichen Einsatz beitragen. Karishma Herbert liefert zunächst einen Überblick zu den personalwirtschaftlichen Einflussfaktoren und zeigt auf, dass eine gute Organisation sowie ein Bewusstsein und Wissen über kulturelle Differenzen und Gemeinsamkeiten wichtig sind, jedoch dies allein keinen erfolgreichen Einsatz garantiert. Vielmehr spielt das tatsächliche Verhalten der Expatriates und weiterer Stakeholder eine entscheidende Rolle.
Expelling Public Schools: How Antiracist Politics Enable School Privatization in Newark
by John ArenaExploring the role of identitarian politics in the privatization of Newark&’s public school system In Expelling Public Schools, John Arena explores the more than two-decade struggle to privatize public schools in Newark, New Jersey—a conflict that is raging in cities across the country—from the vantage point of elites advancing the pro-privatization agenda and their grassroots challengers.Analyzing the unsuccessful effort of Cory Booker—Newark&’s leading pro-privatization activist and mayor—to generate popular support for the agenda, and Booker&’s rival and ultimate successor Ras Baraka&’s eventual galvanization of the charter movement, Arena argues that Baraka&’s black radical politics cloaked a revanchist agenda of privatization.Expelling Public Schools reveals the political rise of Booker and Baraka, their one-time rivalry and subsequent alliance, and what this particular case study illuminates about contemporary post–civil rights Black politics. Ultimately, Expelling Public Schools is a critique of Black urban regime politics and the way in which antiracist messaging obscures real class divisions, interests, and ideological diversity.
Experience And Education: 1938-1939, Experience And Education, Freedom And Culture, Theory Of Valuation, And Essays (Collected Works Of John Dewey Ser. #13)
by John DeweyExperience and Education is the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education (Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analyzing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.
