The Student City Strategic Planning for Student Communities in EU Cities

The Student City Strategic Planning for Student Communities in EU Cities

Student communities are without doubt a strategic resource for urban development and students are the citizens and the high-skilled working class of tomorrow. They are seen as an 'invisible population' with little say in local policy and decision-making. Co-operation between educational institutions and city planners is often missing and cities tend to neglect the universities' foreign relations. This volume argues that the importance of human capital in the competitiveness of cities demands pro-active integral city policies targeting this community. Bringing together nine case studies of European cities (Rotterdam Utrecht Eindhoven Munich Lyon Lille Venice Birmingham and Helsinki) it puts forward a comprehensive strategic plan of action aiming at the integration of student communities in urban development. The book analyses the essential characteristics of the relationship between students and their host communities as well as the role of higher education institutions and other actors in building the 'student friendly' city. | The Student City Strategic Planning for Student Communities in EU Cities

Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Misogyny and its opposite philogyny have been perennial topics in Western literature from its earliest days to the present day but only at certain historic periods have pro-woman authors challenged fundamental negative assumptions about women by engaging in formal debate with misogynists and juxtaposing these two attitudes toward women in pairs or series of texts devoted exclusively to discussing womankind. This dialectic of attack on and defence of the female sex known as the querelle des femmes (debate about women) was especially popular among authors and readers during the sixteenth and earlier seventeenth centuries in England. At least 36 texts exclusively devoted to attacking and/or defending women were published in the hundred years between 1540 and 1640. The works included in these two volumes exemplify the content and the methods of debate in England during those two centuries. Volume one includes texts from 1521 through to 1615. | Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman Challenges and Critique

The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman Challenges and Critique

Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most inspirational and controversial thinkers on the scene of contemporary sociology. For several decades he has provided compelling analyses and diagnoses of a vast variety of aspects of modern and liquid modern living. This book considers the theoretical significance of his contribution to sociology but also discusses and adopts a critical stance towards his work. The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman introduces and critically appraises some of the most significant as well as some of the lesser known of Bauman's contributions to contemporary sociology. An international team of scholars delineates and discusses how Bauman's treatment of these themes challenges conventional wisdom in sociology thereby revising and revitalizing sociological theory. As a special feature the book concludes with Bauman's intriguing reflections and contemplations on his own life and intellectual trajectory published here for the first time in English. In this postscript aptly entitled 'Pro Domo Sua' ('About Myself') he describes the pushes and pulls that throughout the years have shaped his thinking. | The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman Challenges and Critique

Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

The Amazon region is the focus of intense conflict between conservationists concerned with deforestation and advocates of agro-industrial development. This book focuses on the contributions of environmental organizations to the preservation of Brazilian Amazonia. It reveals how environmental organizations such as Greenpeace Friends of the Earth WWF and others have fought fiercely to stop deforestation in the region. It documents how the history of frontier expansion and environmental struggle in the region is linked to Brazil’s position in an evolving capitalist world-economy. It is shown how Brazil’s effort to become a developed country has led successive Brazilian governments to devise development projects for Amazonia. The author analyses how globalization has led to the expansion of international commodity chains in the region particularly for mineral ores soybeans and beef. He shows how environmental organizations have politicized these commodity chains as weapons of conservation through boycotting certain products while other pro-development groups within Brazil claim that such organizations threaten Brazil's sovereignty over its own resources. | Guardians of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: Environmental Organizations and Development

Rethinking Empathy through Literature

Rethinking Empathy through Literature

In recent years a growing field of empathy studies has started to emerge from several academic disciplines including neuroscience social psychology and philosophy. Because literature plays a central role in discussions of empathy across disciplines reconsidering how literature relates to feeling with others is key to rethinking empathy conceptually. This collection challenges common understandings of empathy asking readers to question what it is how it works and who is capable of performing it. The authors reveal the exciting research on empathy that is currently emerging from literary studies while also making productive connections to other areas of study such as psychology and neurobiology. While literature has been central to discussions of empathy in divergent disciplines the ways in which literature is often thought to relate to empathy can be simplistic and/or problematic. The basic yet popular postulation that reading literature necessarily produces empathy and pro-social moral behavior greatly underestimates the complexity of reading literature empathy morality and society. Even if empathy were a simple neurological process we would still have to differentiate the many possible kinds of empathy in relation to different forms of art. All the complexities of literary and cultural studies have still to be brought to bear to truly understand the dynamics of literature and empathy. | Rethinking Empathy through Literature
