The Le Corbusier Galaxy: František Sammer and a global network of avant-garde architects
by null Martina HrabováDrawing on the author‘s discovery of an unknown, long-forgotten collection of photographs in an Indian ashram, this book offers an exciting, new view of the international community of young architects who served as Le Corbusier‘s assistants in the inter-war years. A collection of some 500 snapshots, assembled by the Czech architect František Sammer between 1931 and 1939, had been stored unnoticed for more than 70 years in an unlikely location – the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India. Sammer was one of Le Corbusier‘s closest assistants from the early 1930s. Later, Sammer worked in the Soviet Union, Japan and India. During, and after, his time in Paris, he personally took or collected these photographs, which he then deposited at the ashram when he left to fight in World War II. The images offer a remarkable view of the international community of people who worked in Le Corbusier’s atelier in the 1930s. Among those featured in the photographs are Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Jane West (the first American woman to work for Le Corbusier), Gordon Stephenson, Antonin Raymond, Junzo Sakakura and Josep Lluís Sert. Given the travels and international background of these individuals, the photographs are from different countries around the world, including the USSR, England, France, Czech Republic, Greece, USA (Tennessee, Montana, California and New Mexico), Japan and India. The Le Corbusier Galaxy successfully brings together serious archival research with a fascinating narrative, and it captures the human dimension of modern architecture, which is all too often neglected in today’s accounts.
Price Index Numbers: Theory and Application (Springer Texts in Business and Economics)
by Naohito AbeThis textbook offers a comprehensive yet concise introduction to the theory behind price indices, covering the basics, historical background, necessary mathematical foundations, and contemporary cutting-edge theories. For those looking to study price indices, the most commonly used resources have traditionally been the comprehensive but voluminous CPI Manual, which is aimed at statistical practitioners, or Balk (2008), which, while covering theory concisely, requires advanced mathematical skills. This book is distinctive in that it (1) places emphasis on the relationship between price indices and economic theory, (2) presents cutting-edge methods and topics such as multilateral indices using scanner data and price measurement using Engel curves, and (3) provides explanations of essential mathematical techniques like functional equations, thus enabling self-study from the fundamentals to the forefront of modern index number theory.

Sackgasse mit Ausweg: Ausländische Straffällige mit Schutzgewährung in der aufenthaltsrechtlichen Praxis
by Tim BreitkreuzNach öffentlichkeitswirksam gewordenen Straftaten, die durch Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund oder mit ausländischer Staatsangehörigkeit begangen worden sind, wird von politischen Meinungsführenden nahezu aller parteilichen Couleur regelmäßig die Dringlichkeit der Aufenthaltsbeendigung betont. Die Forderungen sowie sich anschließende gesetzgeberische Maßnahmen berücksichtigen zumeist nicht, dass ein relevanter Anteil dieser Personen aufgrund einer Schutzgewährung nicht in das Herkunftsland zurückgeführt werden darf. Mit der vorliegenden Untersuchung wird erstmalig für Deutschland systematisch untersucht, wie die – das Aufenthaltsrecht umsetzenden – Ausländerbehörden mit der Fallkonstellation der straffälligen oder als gefährlich eingestuften ausländischen Personen mit Schutzgewährung umgehen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Bundesland Baden-Württemberg. Zudem handelt es sich um die erste Untersuchung, die sich der Tätigkeit des Sonderstabs Gefährliche Ausländer sowie der Regionalen Sonderstäbe Gefährliche Ausländer in Baden-Württemberg annimmt. Im Rahmen einer umfassenden empirischen Datenerhebung kommen im Sinne eines Inside Views die handelnden Angehörigen verschiedener Verwaltungsbehörden sowie der Gerichte selbst zu Wort.

Revitalizing Health Care Ethics: The Clinician’s Voice
by Stephen Scher Kasia KozlowskaThis open access book explores the origins and development of the clinician’s moral voice and how that voice is embedded in the informal ethical discourse of everyday health care. This moral voice, developed over the course of a lifetime—including through professional education and practice—enables clinicians to understand and address the ethical issues that arise in their everyday work with patients, families, and colleagues. The early chapters explain how health care students move from outsiders to insiders—members of the distinct moral and professional communities that define each particular field of health care. The book describes how students, trainees, and clinicians draw on and extend their own existing intellectual, emotional, and moral capacities, and how they use these capacities to address the daily challenges, ethical and otherwise, that arise in the clinic. This approach is designed both to empower clinicians and to inform bioethicists and others in their attempts to work more effectively within clinical settings.

The Politics of Migration: Urbanization and Life Opportunities in Contemporary China
by Yihan XiongBased on extensive fieldwork and longitudinal studies, this book posits that the household registration (hukou) system is a fundamental institutional arrangement in contemporary China. It employs the theoretical framework of local citizenship to analyze the rights and conditions of the migrant population amidst urbanization. Local citizenship functions as both a governance classification and a qualification for access to public resources, influencing not only migration patterns but also the social mobility of various migrant classes. Importantly, the widely discussed education policies for migrant children are part of a broader framework of national migrant management and local industrial policies.
Visual Arts Work: Careers, Perspectives and Practices in an Australian Context (New Directions in Cultural Policy Research)
by Grace McQuilten Chloë Powell Marnie Badham Kate MacNeill Jenny LyeThis book provides the most comprehensive picture to date of work in the visual arts ecosystem in Australia. In a context where artists’ incomes are consistently low and falling, commercial galleries are financially vulnerable, and public galleries face program funding challenges — this book explores barriers to the economic health of the sector, the challenge of improving artists’ and arts workers’ working conditions, and the realities of being a creative in the twenty-first century. The book combines an analysis of art world economic value chains alongside alternative and emergent cultural, social and political economies with new quantitative and qualitative insights from artists and arts workers. With interdisciplinary methodologies and industry engagement, it examines multiple and hybrid systems of value and includes the perspectives of visual artists, craft artists and arts workers with diverse lived experiences. Our research offers greater insight into the social, cultural, and political forces that underly the mediation of art to the public including an urgent emphasis on gender, cultural safety and care work including the concerns of First Nations artists, culturally and linguistic diverse artists, and artists with disability. Our approach unpacks the diversity and hybridity of art ‘work’ to include practices realised through digitisation, internationalisation, community engagement and intersectoral partnerships.

Reflecting Critically on the Political Psyche: Therapy, Testament and Trouble in Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis
by null Andrew SamuelsWith passion and originality, within this new book, Samuels presents powerful material on culture and politics (including a critical take on political violence) and a compassionate account of the role of an individual when it comes to progressive politics.Initial chapters include his commentary on Edward Albee’s shocking play The Goat and a provocative and critical view on liberal idealisation of ‘the Other’. Then, there is more of Samuels’ celebrated work bringing therapy thinking to bear on politics, and as far as the practice and organisation of therapy is concerned, readers will find new work on how to organise a good training (you must use pluralism) and a robust account of what a critical psychotherapy might look like. A section on Jungian matters includes Samuels’ work on Jung and ‘Africans’, whose importance has long been recognised, and a scintillating ‘balance sheet’ for Jungian analysis, setting its strengths and weaknesses alongside each other. In a clinical section, Samuels shows us what he means by the dynamic idea of the ‘activist client’.With each chapter being preceded by a special ‘retrospective introduction’, as well as including experiential exercises to ground the ideas, this unique collection of papers will be of interest to psychotherapists, Jungian analysts, psychoanalysts, and counsellors, as well as academics working in those fields.
Liberalism, Human Values and Schools as Microcosms of Society: Rediscovering Education for a Moral Future (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education)
by null Martin CohenThis seminal volume provides an accessible overview of key ethical and philosophical debates surrounding contemporary education policy, advocating for a future in education that is primarily driven by prioritising social values.Grounded in the educational ideas of recent British liberal and philosophical thinkers, including Roger Scruton, Mary Midgley and Brenda Almond in particular, the book provides a deeper understanding of the importance of intellectual and moral freedom as it plays out in today’s schools. The book echoes Almond’s call for education to be viewed through the lens of social values and argues for a broader societal strategy to the philosophy of education than narrowly utilitarian attempts to prepare pupils for the labour market. Chapters present various debates in society that relate to liberalism, social values and utilitarianism, and ultimately encourage dialogue on the approach towards education that is necessary to create a socially adjusted, thoughtful and genuinely knowledgeable society of the future.By encouraging readers to think about the requirements of the schools of tomorrow along with their role in shaping both individual lives and society itself, this book will be of interest to scholars, postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of philosophy of education, education studies and moral and value education. Those interested in the sociology of education and citizenship studies more broadly will also benefit from the volume.
Judges, Decision Making and Empathy: Insights from the Bench (Routledge Research in Legal Philosophy)
by null Mateusz Stępień null Ewa Wilczek-RużyczkaThis book presents empirical research uncovering the views and experiences of Polish judges regarding the utilization of empathy in their work. Although there is growing interest in the role of empathy in judicial decision-making, there is little research on how judges themselves approach this issue. This volume offers an alternative to the usual focus on common law jurisdictions. It adopts a perspective that underscores the impact of professional pressures on judges’ empathic abilities, leading to a form of "empathy labor" influenced by the unique characteristics of the judicial profession. It offers an in-depth examination of judges’ opinions, collected through an empirical study involving in-depth interviews. The narrative delves into real cases and judicial behaviors discussed by judges, providing reference to relevant literature from other jurisdictions. The core finding of the study reveals that while judges may differ in their approaches to empathy in a judicial context, many of their practices and strategies can be linked to empathy-like phenomena. The findings also substantiate the claim that empathy used by judges is not the same as judicial empathy, which covers empathic abilities integrated into performing the judicial role. This applied theoretical perspective of "empathy labor" offers an intriguing view of how the occupational context influences judges’ empathic inclinations throughout their careers. In addition to demonstrating how judges understand the role of empathy in their work, the book outlines a scenario for empathy training based on their experiences and expectations. Presenting an original approach to studying the role of empathy in judicial decision making, the book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of philosophy of law, legal theory, sociology of law, psychology of law, and emotions studies.
The Admission and Integration of Refugees in Europe: Legal and Policy Perspectives (Routledge Studies in Development, Mobilities and Migration)
by Sebastian Meyer Salvatore Fabio Nicolosi Giacomo SolanoThe Admission and Integration of Refugees in Europe argues for a more interconnected understanding of laws and policies for the admission and integration of refugees and asylum seekers in the European Union.Admission and integration normally refer to different phases of the migratory process, but this demonstrates that they are inherently interconnected. Certain legal statuses conferred in admission procedures are directly relevant for the integration prospects of migrants, and the success or failure to integrate has potential repercussions for residence rights, although refugees are in that respect better protected than other immigrants. Legal pluralism further complicates the European context, as admission is often seen as under European Union jurisdiction, and integration as a Member State consideration. However, the book argues that this legal pluralism in fact helps us to better explain how interaction between admission and integration takes place across laws and legal orders. Combining broad conceptual and constitutional analysis with closer readings of specific policies and country-specific case studies, this book demonstrates the potential for specific admission policies to either promote or hinder integration.This book will be an important contribution to debates on European asylum and refugee law, human rights, and migrant integration policy.
Navigating Language in Parliamentary Practice: Between Courtesy and Conflict in Japan (Routledge Research in Pragmatics)
by null Lidia TanakaTanaka explores the language used in Japanese parliamentary interactions to shed light on the use of language as a tool by politicians to convince, negotiate, persuade, as well as deliver aggression and criticism. By looking at the speech of politicians in the parliament of Japan, Tanaka demonstrates the unbreakable link between language and politics.Despite the association of Japan as a society in which linguistic politeness is paramount, Tanaka highlights the many examples of impoliteness in parliament and illustrates the idea that Japanese parliamentarians use language strategically to accomplish their political agenda. Analysis of questions and answers in committee meetings demonstrate that regardless of which party they belong to, those in opposition use the most antagonistic strategies. The book also shows the ways in which politicians deliver face-attacks and demonstrates that impoliteness can be delivered without insults or open aggression, using extremely polite language, honorifics, or sarcasm and irony.Lastly, the book also reveals that face-attacks are sent by members of both the government and opposition. As a book that explores the commonly overlooked phenomenon of impoliteness in Japan in the context of parliamentary interactions, it is a valuable resource for researchers and academics in the field of pragmatics and discourse analysis as well as a viable resource for undergraduate and graduate students.

Der Einfluss von räumlicher Präsenz auf das emotionale Erleben von Konzertvideos: Eine theoretische und empirische Untersuchung (Musik und Medien)
by Elisa GillnerKonzertvideos erfreuen sich wachsender Beliebtheit, doch das Rezeptionserleben dieser Formate ist bislang wenig erforscht. Dieses Buch geht der Frage nach, wie das Gefühl, „vor Ort&“ zu sein, das emotionale Erleben dieser Videos beeinflusst. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die räumliche Präsenz – das Empfinden, sich in einer virtuellen Umgebung zu befinden – und ihr Einfluss auf Emotionen, Enjoyment und Gefallen. Auf Basis einer Analyse des bisherigen Forschungsstands und der Identifikation zentraler Forschungslücken wird die Wirkung räumlicher Präsenz in drei experimentellen Studien untersucht. Dabei werden sowohl technologische als auch individuelle Einflussfaktoren berücksichtigt. Die Ergebnisse liefern neue Einblicke in das Rezeptionserleben von Konzertvideos und bieten wertvolle Impulse für die Forschung sowie praxisnahe Anregungen für die Unterhaltungsindustrie.
