Providing a critical and comprehensive examination of disability and spatial processes of exclusion and inclusion for disabled people the book uniquely brings together insights from disability studies spatial geographies and social policy with the purpose of exploring how spatial factors shape limit or enhance policy towards and the experiences of disabled people. Divided into two parts the first section explores the key concepts to have emerged within the field of disability geographies and their relationship to new policy regimes. New and emerging concepts within the field are critically explored for their significance in conceptually framing disability. The second section provides an in-depth examination of disabled people’s experience of changing landscapes within the onset of emerging disability policy regimes. It deals with how the various actors and stakeholders such as governments social care agencies families and disabled people traverse these landscapes under the new conditions laid out by changing policy regimes.

The Places and Spaces of News Audiences

The Places and Spaces of News Audiences

Historically or so we would like to believe the story of everyday life for many people included regular definitive moments of news consumption. Journalism in fact was distributed around these routines: papers were delivered before breakfast the evening news on TV buttressed the transition from dinner to prime time programming and radio updates were centred around commuting patterns. These habits were organized not just around specific times but occurred in specific places following a predictable pattern. However the past few decades have witnessed tremendous changes in the ways we can consume journalism and engage with information – from tablets to smartphones online and so forth – and the different places and moments of news consumption have multiplied as a result to the point where news is increasingly mobile and instantaneous. It is personalized localized and available on-demand. Day-by-day month-by-month year-by-year technology moves forward impacting more than just the ways in which we get news. These fundamental shifts change what news ‘is’. This book expands our understanding of contemporary news audiences and explores how the different places and spaces of news consumption change both our experiences of journalism and the roles it plays in our everyday lives. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies. | The Places and Spaces of News Audiences

Animal Places Lively Cartographies of Human-Animal Relations

Animal Places Lively Cartographies of Human-Animal Relations

Nonhuman animals are ubiquitous to our ‘human’ societies. Interdisciplinary human/animal research has - for 50 years - drawn attention to how animals are ever-present in what we think of as human spaces and cultures. Our societies are built with animals and through all kinds of multispecies interactions. From public spaces and laboratories to homes farms and in the ‘wilderness’; human and nonhuman animals meet to make space and place together through webs of power relations. However the very spaces of these interactions are not mute or passive themselves. The spaces where species meet matter and shape human/animal relations. This book takes as its starting point the relationship between place and human/animal interaction. It brings together the work of leading scholars in human/animal studies from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds. With a distinct focus on place physical space and biocultural geography the authors of this volume consider the ways in which space human and nonhuman animals co-constitute each other how they make spaces together produce meaning around them struggle over access how these places are storied and how stories of spaces matter. Presenting studies thematically and including a variety of nonhuman creatures in a range of settings this book delivers new understandings of the importance of nonhuman animals to understandings of place - and the role of places in shaping our interactions with nonhuman creatures. As pets as laboratory animals as exhibits as parasites as livestock as quarry as victims of disaster or objects of folklore this book offers insights into human/animal intermingling at locales and settings of great relevance to many areas of research including geography sociology science and technology studies gender studies history and anthropology. This book meets the evolving interest in human/animal interaction anthrozoology and the environmental humanities in relation to the research on space and place that currently informs the humanities and the social sciences. | Animal Places Lively Cartographies of Human-Animal Relations

Haiti The God of Tough Places the Lord of Burnt Men

Haiti The God of Tough Places the Lord of Burnt Men

As a priest and a physician Richard Frechette has known the body heart and soul of people in the most anguishing of circumstances. He has carried out his double ministry over the past twenty-five years in settings of extreme poverty violence social upheaval and natural disasters. This personal experience of tough realities has been at once a descent into chaos and an ascent into compassion never more so than in his work in Haiti. The reflections in this volume are less about Haiti than they are about real-life incidents that happened there during a particular time in history. In a fuller sense these reflections shed light on what happens in any place at any time to people of any race or class who live out an assault on their human dignity. Whenever the dignity of human beings is marred the human spirit finds itself in threatened conditions and seeks desperately to preserve what is human about it. This is the unfailing light of God's grace ever present and faithful fiercely persistent in trying to renew the face of the earth and the pilgrim human heart. Grounded in space and time and yet speaking of universal concerns this very personal volume shows how the ancient human scourges of poverty ignorance illness and violence desecrate humanity and weaken the spirit. Yet as Frechette shows from these ashes many people with the help of God valiantly rise. This is a stunning work that crosses conventional barriers between the personal and the political between degradation by others and elevation by selves. I will lead you by the way. . that you may become the brother of God and learn to know the Christ of the burnt men. Thomas Merton | Haiti The God of Tough Places the Lord of Burnt Men

Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

This volume explores the transformation of public space and administrative activities in republican and imperial Rome through an interdisciplinary examination of the topography of power. Throughout the Roman world building projects created spaces for different civic purposes such as hosting assemblies holding senate meetings the administration of justice housing the public treasury and the management of the city through different magistracies offices and even archives. These administrative spaces – both open and closed – characterised Roman life throughout the Republic and High Empire until the administrative and judicial transformations of the fourth century CE. This volume explores urban development and the dynamics of administrative expansion linking them with some of the most recent archaeological discoveries. In doing so it examines several facets of the transformation of Roman administration over this period considering new approaches to and theories on the uses of public space and incorporating new work in Roman studies that focuses on the spatial needs of human users rather than architectural style and design. This fascinating collection of essays is of interest to students and scholars working on Roman space and urbanism Roman governance and the running of the Roman Empire more broadly. | Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

What can we learn about Van Morrison’s life and work as a songwriter through his songs? This book looks closely at the lyrics and music from a selection of his songs. Some are very well-known - ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ ‘Cleaning Windows’ and ‘The Healing Game’. Others are less familiar. Through these songs the book offers insights into some of the most important ideas that the songwriter has explored across his five-decade plus career starting from the Them period and extending through his solo albums. These readings show how thinking about Morrison’s use of place provides a specific lens that contributes to a greater understanding of his art. The songs are organized into chapters that reflect many of the important places in Morrison’s work as he ventured professionally and imaginatively away from the places of his upbringing towards a wider musical world. These places are in city streetscapes and country landscapes – in home places of streets and ditches in the enclosed spaces of rooms in the expansive reaches of the natural world in indeterminate and specific foreign lands. A picture emerges of the journey that Van Morrison details through his songs one that sees him first wandering as a boy through his East Belfast haunts and then venturing out to a wider world away from this local place. | The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

Contemplating Curriculum Genealogies/Times/Places

Contemplating Curriculum Genealogies/Times/Places

Contemplating Curriculum takes up world-renowned curricular scholar teacher and mentor Ted T. Aoki’s invitation to contemplate where curriculum scholars situate themselves in their work. At the same time it probes into the historical and present conditions that make it both possible and impossible to attend to this work in classrooms and communities in mindful embodied and aesthetic ways both locally and globally. The book offers a strong representative sampling of contemporary thinking in the field with a focus on contemplative approaches to curriculum. In their theorizing contributors call on literary and other mixed-genre formats such as creative nonfiction poetry and essay. They acknowledge the importance of intergenerational dialogue and recognize the importance of time and place in curricular pedagogical and personal sense-making. These written and visual texts invite contemplation on notions of curriculum both planned and lived in an Aokian spirit of intertextuality. | Contemplating Curriculum Genealogies/Times/Places

Production of Locality in the Early Modern and Modern Age Places

Production of Locality in the Early Modern and Modern Age Places

This book is a microhistory study of village settlements in early modern Northwest Italy that aims to expand the notion of place to include the process of producing a locality; that is the production of native local subjects through practices rituals and other forms of collective action. Undertaking a micro-analytical approach the book examines the customs and practices associated with typically fragmented and polycentric Italian village settlements to analyze the territorial tensions between various segments of a village and its neighbors. The microspatial analysis reveals how these tensions are the expressions of conflictual relationships between lay ecclesiastical and charitable bodies culminating in a culture of fragmentation that impacts local economic and political practices. The book also traces how the production of locality survived throughout the nineenth and twentieth century and is still observed today. In this light the study of practices and policies of locality over time that this book undertakes is an essential tool to better understand the nature and role of these social bonds in today’s society. Archival records and the methods for approaching this source material are included within the text making it an accessible and invaluable book for students and teachers of social and cultural history. | Production of Locality in the Early Modern and Modern Age Places

Producing Non-Simultaneity Construction Sites as Places of Progressiveness and Continuity

Producing Non-Simultaneity Construction Sites as Places of Progressiveness and Continuity

Producing Non-Simultaneity discusses how the processes of modernisation driven by globalisation and market forces change the political economic and technological conditions under which architecture is realised. The book looks beyond the rhetoric of revolutionary innovation often put forward by architects and engineers. It shows how technological change during the last 200 years was only possible because traditional skills and older materials persisted. The volume argues that building sites have long been showcases of non-simultaneities. Shedding light on construction of the past and exploring what may impact construction in the future this book would be a valuable addition for students researchers and academics in architecture architectural history and theory. | Producing Non-Simultaneity Construction Sites as Places of Progressiveness and Continuity

Comparative Rhetoric The Art of Traversing Rhetorical Times Places and Spaces

Comparative Rhetoric The Art of Traversing Rhetorical Times Places and Spaces

Rhetoric and Communication scholars have recently made notable advances in discovering and/or recovering rhetorical practices of various under-represented and under-recognized cultures. Building on this growing body of scholarship this book initiates a new line of interdisciplinary inquiry. By turning attention to how histories of cross-border and cross-cultural contacts mobilize different conditions of possibility and engagement this collection of essays by established and emergent scholars develops a range of new approaches to comparative rhetorical studies in our age of globalization. Using Chinese Egyptian Indian and Japanese rhetorical practices as examples these essays both challenge current assumptions and methodological perspectives about comparative rhetoric and illustrate how to navigate between the native’s point of view and a critical vantage point outside the native tradition and between the meanings of the past and the exigencies of the present. To promote critical reflection on the challenges opportunities and implications of traversing rhetorical times places and spaces the collection concludes with a response essay that takes the reader on a Tao Trek revisiting some of the earliest Eastern and Western rhetorical encounters and further illuminating the complexities of comparative engagement in the present moment. This book was originally published as a special issue of Rhetoric Society Quarterly. | Comparative Rhetoric The Art of Traversing Rhetorical Times Places and Spaces
