Security Studies: Critical Perspectives - Kyle Grayson, Xavier Guillaume

The only introduction to critical security studies to take a question-centred approach, with a unique emphasis on equipping students with the knowledge and skills to think, analyse, and debate using critical perspectives. Security Studies: Critical Perspectives introduces the analysis of security from critical and interdisciplinary perspectives. Taking a student-centred approach to understanding contemporary security themes and cases, it provides an accessible set of analytic steps so that students develop the critical thinking skills and confidence to ask important questions about security and our worlds in contemporary politics. Common-sense security assumptions that reproduce forms of oppression and domination are revealed and their justifications decentred while perspectives inclusive of class, gender and sexualities, ethnicity and race, religion, disability, culture and ideology, political belonging, and the global south are introduced. In doing so, the authors combine critical analysis with concrete empirical issues that connect students to the social and political worlds around them. Five foundation chapters introducing students to key concepts and methodologies Fifteen thematic chapters, written by leading security analysts exploring key themes in security Detailed illustrative cases for each thematic chapter Accessible short introductions, in the online resources, to some of the major theoretical approaches in critical security studies Online resources ...

Critical Code Studies - Marino Mark C.

An argument that we must read code for more than what it does--we must consider what it means. Computer source code has become part of popular discourse. Code is read not only by programmers but by lawyers, artists, pundits, reporters, political activists, and literary scholars; it is used in political debate, works of art, popular entertainment, and historical accounts. In this book, Mark Marino argues that code means more than merely what it does; we must also consider what it means. We need to learn to read code critically. Marino presents a series of case studies--ranging from the Climategate scandal to a hactivist art project on the US-Mexico border--as lessons in critical code reading. Marino shows how, in the process of its circulation, the meaning of code changes beyond its functional role to include connotations and implications, opening it up to interpretation and inference--and misinterpretation and reappropriation. The Climategate controversy, for example, stemmed from a misreading of a bit of placeholder code as a "smoking gun" that supposedly proved fabrication of climate data. A poetry generator created by Nick Montfort was remixed and reimagined by other poets, and subject to literary interpretation. Each case study begins by presenting a small ...

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Memory

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Memory serves as a timely and unique resource for the current boom in thinking around translation and memory. The Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of a contemporary, and as yet unconsolidated, research landscape with a four-section structure which encompasses both current debate and future trajectories. Twenty-four chapters written by leading and emerging international scholars provide a cross-sectional snapshot of the diverse angles of approach and case studies that have thus far driven research into translation and memory. A valuable, far-reaching range of theoretical, empirical, reflective, comparative, and archival approaches are brought to bear on translational sites of memory and mnemonic sites of translation through the examination of topics such as traumatic, postcolonial, cultural, literary, and translator memory. This Handbook is key reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in translation studies, memory studies, and related areas.

Continuity and Discontinuities of Religious Memory in the Czech Republic - Dušan Lužný, Jan Váně, František Kalvas, Veronika Hásová

This publication has several modest goals: We shall describe how we conceptualised religious memory for the purposes of qualitative and quantitative survey research, and we shall explain how we operationalised religious communicative and cultural memory and why we believe that the questionnaire we designed and present here can also be applied in other contexts outside Czech society. Given the volume of data we obtained, we want to present at least a portion of our results and show what types of findings were achieved through our conceptualisation and operationalisation of religious memory. Finally, we want to present non-Czech-speaking readers with a comprehensive work describing changes in religiosity in Czech society, in this case from the perspective of memory studies. In other words, we want to offer an international audience a piece of work broader than just a journal article focusing on the study of religion in the Czech Republic.

Critical Internet Literacies - Jamie Cohen

An introductory critical internet studies text that builds upon media literacy and digital culture theory to offer a thorough examination of the intersection of online technology and culture.We are now collectively at a hinge point in the evolution of the web where online influencers can sway national discourse, geopolitical events are remixed through memes, and online harms are misunderstood. This book argues that people are generally aware that online media has repercussions in off-platform spaces, but sometimes lack the language to properly critique online trends, memes, and internet-born media. How are citizens, activists, and marginalized groups able to use these tools effectively and safely in these times? Jamie Cohen explores aspects of internet culture in an approachable manner, building upon critical media literacy and applying a critical technocultural analysis as a methodology to reimagine how media literacy can operate in an online media environment. The book explores key topics such as accessibility, the creator economy, content moderation, tech bias, platform capitalism, internet culture, and safety.Offering a new way of reading internet media and critiquing content and creators, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of digital culture, internet culture, media literacy, social media, and beyond.

Memory and Mortality in Renaissance England

Drawing together leading scholars of early modern memory studies and death studies, Memory and Mortality in Renaissance England explores and illuminates the interrelationships of these categories of Renaissance knowing and doing, theory and praxis. The collection features an extended Introduction that establishes the rich vein connecting these two fields of study and investigation. Thereafter, the collection is arranged into three subsections, ''The Arts of Remembering Death'', ''Grounding the Remembrance of the Dead'', and ''The Ends of Commemoration'', where contributors analyse how memory and mortality intersected in writings, devotional practice, and visual culture. The book will appeal to scholars of early modern literature and culture, book history, art history, and the history of mnemonics and thanatology, and will prove an indispensable guide for researchers, instructors, and students alike.

The Memory of the World - Ted Toadvine

Advancing a phenomenological approach to deep time  Our imagination today is dominated by the end of the world, from sci-fi and climate fiction to actual predictions of biodiversity collapse, climate disruption, and the emergence of the Anthropocene. This obsession with the world’s precarity, The Memory of the World contends, relies on a flawed understanding of time that neglects the past and present with the goal of managing the future. Not only does this mislead sustainability efforts, it diminishes our encounters with the world and with human and nonhuman others.  Here, Ted Toadvine takes a phenomenological approach to deep time to show how our apocalyptic imagination forgets the sublime and uncanny dimensions of the geological past and far future. Guided by original readings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and others, he suggests that reconciling our embodied lives with the memory of the earth transforms our relationship with materiality, other forms of life, and the unprecedented future.  Integrating insights from phenomenology, deconstruction, critical animal studies, and new materialism, The Memory of the World argues for a new philosophy of time that takes seriously the multiple, pleated, and entangled temporal events spanning cosmic, geological, evolutionary, and ...

Political Memory and the Aesthetics of Care - Mihaela Mihai

With this nuanced and interdisciplinary work, political theorist Mihaela Mihai tackles several interrelated questions: How do societies remember histories of systemic violence? Who is excluded from such histories' cast of characters? And what are the political costs of selective remembering in the present? Building on insights from political theory, social epistemology, and feminist and critical race theory, Mihai argues that a double erasure often structures hegemonic narratives of complex violence: of widespread, heterogeneous complicity and of "impure" resistances, not easily subsumed to exceptionalist heroic models. In dialogue with care ethicists and philosophers of art, she then suggests that such narrative reductionism can be disrupted aesthetically through practices of "mnemonic care," that is, through the hermeneutical labor that critical artists deliver—thematically and formally—within communities' space of meaning. Empirically, the book examines both consecrated and marginalized artists who tackled the memory of Vichy France, communist Romania, and apartheid South Africa. Despite their specificities, these contexts present us with an opportunity to analyze similar mnemonic dynamics and to recognize the political impact of dissenting artistic production. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, the book intervenes in debates over collective responsibility, historical injustice, and the aesthetics of violence within political theory, memory studies, social epistemology, and transitional ...

Animal Studies and Philosophy - Rebekah Humphreys

Philosophers since Aristotle have studied animals and issues arising from their use. Over the past decade, there has been growing interest in ‘Critical Animal Studies’: a field that integrates the work of scholars from a range of disciplines – not least philosophy – to shed light on animal–human relations. This is the first textbook to provide a survey of Critical Animal Studies from a distinctly philosophical perspective. Rebekah Humphreys demonstrates how philosophical arguments play a key role in our proper understanding of the field, and synthesises these with a broad web of ideas from other disciplines. Incorporating the ethological research of scientists who study animal behaviour, she reveals what is at stake philosophically in our understanding of the interactions between humans and animals. A fresh approach is needed if we are to end the worst abuses against animals. Animal Studies and Philosophy is a groundbreaking and invaluable text for students and scholars alike.

Critical Terms for Religious Studies, Second Edition

A new edition of a classic resource—composed of twenty-three essays written specifically for this volume. First published nearly thirty years ago, Critical Terms for Religious Studies proved a vital resource for an emerging interdisciplinary conversation. We still use much of the same language in the study of religion, but fresh concerns have both changed the meaning of terms and given rise to new terms altogether. This edition consists of twenty-three entirely new essays that offer students and scholars alike the tools to historicize and evaluate the shifting role of familiar and emerging critical terms in religious studies. These are “critical terms” both because they are important in our cultural moment and because thinking through them reveals how religions are embedded in and shaped by material, social, economic, and political forces. A shared conviction unites contributors from a range of traditions and methodologies: a recognition that our world is saturated by the persistence of religious traditions as shape-shifting (not static or transcendent) forces of authority, as powerful today as ever before.

Critical Thinking for Education Students - Charlotte Barrow, Rebecca Westrup

Critical thinking isn’t just about doing what’s needed to score higher marks in your assignments; it’s about developing a questioning mindset and an ability to question and interrogate information. The ability to weigh up arguments and make informed judgements is a skill that will benefit students in their academic work, in their placements, and in their professional lives.This book outlines what critical thinking and critical reflection mean in the context of studying Education or Childhood Studies. It begins by defining what critical thinking means, and shows readers how to get into a critical mindset. Subsequent chapters chart how to go about the process of critical analysis at each stage of working on an assignment, including how to read critically, how to analyse sources and how to write critically. The book also contains guidance on critical reflection and how to demonstrate critical thinking in professional life. Delivering presentations is a common form of assessment and the book contains a dedicated chapter on how to present critical thinking in spoken communication. In addition to a glossary, the book also features critical thinking sentence starters which help students to convey critical analysis using appropriate language in their assignments.

How can I improve my memory? Do my emotions affect my memories? How will my memory change as I get older?The Psychology of Memory provides a unique insight into a fundamental part of being human, debunking many common misconceptions about what memory is, how memory works, and the accuracy of our memories. It explores the complexity of human memory, looking at how we remember different types of information and the impact of issues like ageing and emotion on how we create, store, and retrieve memories. Extremes of memory from so-called photographic memory to dementia are discussed, along with ways our memory can impact our everyday lives in educational and legal settings.Treating memory as malleable, dynamic, and active, The Psychology of Memory teaches us about how our individual memories function, and how we can harness this to see memory in a new way; to use the past, our experiences and information, in service of the present and future.

Intersections in Basic and Applied Memory Research

In recent years there has been increasing interaction between basic and applied memory researchers, ranging from heated debates to highly productive collaborations. This collection of papers -- based on presentations at the Third Practical Aspects of Memory conference -- reviews the progress, as well as obstacles to progress, in the ongoing collaboration between basic and applied memory researchers. This volume represents the state of the art in memory research domains that straddle the basic-applied divide. The text is organized around three themes, including theoretical and metatheoretical issues concerning the interaction of basic and applied memory research, laboratory investigation of real world memory problems, and solutions of everyday problems using theoretical concepts derived from basic memory research. The first section illustrates why collaboration between basic and applied memory researchers should be beneficial and provides guidelines for avoiding some of the pitfalls. The second and third sections present some of the most significant, contemporary findings by researchers whose work is basic-yet-applicable or applied-yet-theoretically-based.

MEMORY - Dorothea Lasky

Dorothea Lasky’s Memory is a cycle of ‘poet’s essays’ stirred by two profound questions. What constitutes personhood and consciousness? What memories get lost, and why?Lasky’s inspired investigation of the forces that form our lives and deepest senses of ourselves ranges across three dimensions of memory: ancestral, personal and poetic. In her singularly clear voice, she enters into their mysteries to return with an expansive collection of essays that traverse the universal and the particular. Memory reflects on the everyday and the emotional, history, trauma and charged sites of collective reminiscence, such as the moon landing. Other pieces address the other side of memory: her father’s experience of Alzheimer’s, asking what’s left where memory is absent, and what’s ‘real’ beyond the horizon of death. The book closes with ‘Time, the Rose, and the Moon’, an ars poetica exploring the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros as a figure for the nonlinear processes of time, memory and art. In tribute to Bernadette Mayer’s Memory, Lasky reveals memory to be huge and haunting, as she accumulates impressions that challenge the very possibility of fixed meaning.

Trauma and Memory - Peter A. Levine

In Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps. While acknowledging that memory can be trusted, he argues that the only truly useful memories are those that might initially seem to be the least reliable: memories stored in the body and not necessarily accessible by our conscious mind.While much work has been done in the field of trauma studies to address "explicit" traumatic memories in the brain (such as intrusive thoughts or flashbacks), much less attention has been paid to how the body itself stores "implicit" memory, and how much of what we think of as "memory" actually comes to us through our (often unconsciously accessed) felt sense. By learning how to better understand this complex interplay of past and present, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Memory Lane - Ciara Greene, Gillian Murphy

An illuminating look at the adaptive nature of our memories—and how their flexibility and fallibility help us survive and thriveWe tend to think of our memories as impressions of the past that remain fully intact, preserved somewhere inside our brains. In fact, we construct and reconstruct our memories every time we attempt to recall them. Memory Lane introduces readers to the cutting-edge science of human memory, revealing how our recollections of the past are constantly adapting and changing, and why a faulty memory isn’t always a bad thing. Shedding light on what memory is and what it evolved to do, Ciara Greene and Gillian Murphy discuss the many benefits of our flexible yet fallible memory system, including helping us to maintain a coherent identity, sustain social bonds, and vividly imagine possible futures. But these flexible and easily distorted memories can also result in significant harm, leading us to provide erroneous eyewitness testimony or fall victim to fake news. Greene and Murphy explain why our flawed memories are not a failure of evolution but rather a byproduct of the perfectly imperfect way our minds have evolved to solve problems. They also grapple with important ethical questions surrounding the study and manipulation ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Biblical Critical Theory - Christopher Watkin

*With a foreword from Tim Keller*A bold vision for Christians who want to engage the world in a way that is biblically faithful and culturally sensitive.In Biblical Critical Theory, Christopher Watkin shows how the Bible and its unfolding story help us make sense of modern life and culture.Critical theories exist to critique what we think we know about reality and the social, political, and cultural structures in which we live. In doing so, they make visible the values and beliefs of a culture in order to scrutinize and change them.Biblical Critical Theory exposes and evaluates the often-hidden assumptions and concepts that shape late-modern society, examining them through the lens of the biblical story running from Genesis to Revelation, and asking urgent questions like:How does the Bible''s storyline help us understand our society, our culture, and ourselves?How do specific doctrines help us engage thoughtfully in the philosophical, political, and social questions of our day?How can we analyze and critique culture and its alternative critical theories through Scripture? Informed by the biblical-theological structure of Saint Augustine''s magisterial work The City of God (and with extensive diagrams and practical tools), Biblical Critical Theory shows how the patterns of the Bible''s storyline can provide ...

Enabling Critical Pedagogy in Higher Education - Alan Smith, Mike Seal

An introduction to critical pedagogy for all those working within higher education.Critical Pedagogy is an approach that is fundamentally democratic, informal, non-hierarchical, determined by participants, privileges the oppressed and their perspectives and is committed to action. Higher education (HE), conversely, is often un-democratic, formal, hierarchical, determined by tutors and national bodies, re-inscribes existing privileges and is distant from lived experience. The book starts from the premise that critical pedagogies are possible in HE, while recognising the tensions to be ameliorated in trying to enact them. It re-examines the concept and explores its practical application at an institutional level, within the curriculum, within assessment, through learning and teaching and in the spaces in-between. The Critical Practice in Higher Education series provides a scholarly and practical entry point for academics into key areas of higher education practice. Each book in the series explores an individual topic in depth, providing an overview in relation to current thinking and practice, informed by recent research. The series will be of interest to those engaged in the study of higher education, those involved in leading learning and teaching or working in academic development, and individuals seeking to explore particular topics of professional interest.
