What Do Unions Do? A Twenty-year Perspective

What Do Unions Do? A Twenty-year Perspective

One of the best-known and most-quoted books ever written on labor unions is What Do Unions Do? by Richard Freeman and James Medoff. Published in 1984 the book proved to be a landmark because it provided the most comprehensive and statistically sophisticated empirical portrait of the economic and socio-political effects of unions and a provocative conclusion that unions are on balance beneficial for the economy and society. The present volume represents a twentieth-anniversary retrospective and evaluation of What Do Unions Do? The objectives are threefold: to evaluate and critique the theory evidence and conclusions of Freeman and Medoff; to provide a comprehensive update of the theoretical and empirical literature on unions since the publication of their book; and to offer a balanced assessment and critique of the effects of unions on the economy and society. Toward this end internationally recognized representatives of labor and management cover the gamut of subjects related to unions. Topics covered include the economic theory of unions; the history of economic thought on unions; the effect of unions on wages benefits capital investment productivity income inequality dispute resolution and job satisfaction; the performance of unions in an international perspective; the reasons for the decline of unions; and the future of unions. The volume concludes with a chapter by Richard Freeman in which he assesses the arguments and evidence presented in the other chapters and presents his evaluation of how What Do Unions Do? stands up in the light of twenty years of additional experience and research. This highly readable volume is a state-of-the-art survey by internationally recognized experts on the effects and future of labor unions. It will be the benchmark for years to come. | What Do Unions Do? A Twenty-year Perspective

Women Do Genre in Film and Television

Women Do Genre in Film and Television

Winner of first Prize in the BAFTSS Best Edited Collection competition this volume examines how different generations of women work within the genericity of audio-visual storytelling not necessarily to ‘undo’ or ‘subvert’ popular formats but also to draw on their generative force. Recent examples of filmmakers and creative practitioners within and outside Hollywood as well as women working in non-directing authorial roles remind us that women are in various ways authoring commercially and culturally impactful texts across a range of genres. Put simply this volume asks: what do women who are creatively engaged with audio-visual industries do with genre and what does genre do with them? The contributors to the collection respond to this question from diverse perspectives and with different answers spanning issues of direction screenwriting performance and audience address/reception. | Women Do Genre in Film and Television

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

The past ten years have seen local government in the UK facing two major challenges: to survive in the face of Thatcher government hostility and to adapt to enormously powerful forces of economic restructuring which have also been encouraged by government policies. The key aspects of these changing fortunes of British towns explored in this important new book is the ability of individual localities to exercise any control over their own growth and decline. Place Policy and Politics examines local political initiatives seeking to influence economic and social development in seven sharply contrasting localities ranging from the outer council estates of Merseyside to the boom towns of Cheltenham and Swindon. Throughout their analysis the contributors drawn from a wide range of social science disciplines address the vital questions in the debate over local policy initiatives including: To what extent are localities able to harness trends in the national and international economy to provide jobs and a better standard of living for their inhabitants? Why do local authorities vary in their capacity to initiate economic policy? To what extent do national urban and other policies inhibit or encourage their efforts? How might central government modify its policies to facilitate the prospering of localities? | Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

Philosophers Bob Fischer and Anja Jauernig agree that human society often treats animals in indefensible ways and that all animals morally matter; they disagree on whether humans and animals morally matter equally. In What Do We Owe Other Animals?: A Debate Fischer and Jauernig square off over this central question in animal ethics. Jauernig defends the view that all living beings morally matter equally and are owed compassion on account of which we are also obligated to adopt a vegan diet. Fischer denies that we have an obligation to become vegans and argues for the position that humans morally matter more than all other living creatures. The two authors each offer a clear well-developed opening statement a direct response to the other’s statement and then a response to the other’s response. Along the way they explore central questions like: What kind of beings matter morally? What kind of obligations do we have towards other animals? How demanding can we reasonably expect these obligations to be? Do our individual consumer choices such as the choice to purchase factory-farmed animal products make a difference to the wellbeing of animals? The debate is helpfully framed by introductions and conclusions to each of the major parts and by smaller introductions to each of the sub-sections. A Foreword by Dustin Crummett sets the context for the debate within a larger discussion of sentience moral standing reason-guided compassion and the larger field of animal ethics. Key Features Showcases the presentation and defense of two points of view on the moral worth of non-human animals Provides frequent summaries of previously covered material Includes a topically-organized list of Further Readings and a Glossary of all specialized vocabulary | What Do We Owe Other Animals?

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

In comparison with Literary Studies and Media and Film Studies the disciplines of Theatre and Performance with their strong anthropocentric heritage have been relatively slow in responding to such things as climate change species extinction or pollution and toxicity etc. However in the wake of recent work on animals cyborgs and objects as well as publications with a specific focus on ecology and environment there are real signs that theatre and performance scholars are beginning to make their own contribution to the Environmental Humanities. But if theatre critics are engaged in new forms of ecocritical analysis it is worth posing a pertinent question from the outset: namely what can theatre do ecologically? In this book leading researchers and practitioners seek to answer that question from a number of perspectives and with diverse methodologies. Topics include: reflections on rehearsal processes scores for performance site-based interventions ideas of conflict investigations of temporality and time ecology ecospectating and the experience of disappointment. Taken together these essays make an important intervention in the emergent (inter)disciplines of the Environmental Humanities and further our understanding of the ecological potential of Theatre and Performance in ways that are cautious tentative but also generative. This book was originally published as a special issue of Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism. | Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma: Why do Populists Win? shines compelling new light on the way in which the systematic targeting and manipulation of human physiology remain a cornerstone of all populist political campaigns. Readers wishing to make sense of the populist juggernauts of Trump and Brexit and of the cyclical and formulaic nature of the rise and fall of charismatic populism will find this book particularly appealing. Elesa Zehndorfer begins by presenting a highly applied explanation of the critical importance of political physiology physiology theory neuroscience and evolutionary biology in populist charismatic politics. She later eloquently explains how manipulation of physiological variables (such as heightened testosterone and dopamine) renders the political rally one of the most powerful weapons in a populist leaders’ campaign. Weber’s seminal conceptualisation of charisma ‘in statu nascendi’ and Hyman Minsky’s insightful theories of cyclical boom-and-bust scenarios are then juxtaposed alongside physiological theory to greatly amplify our understanding of the powerful biological antecedents of charismatic populism. These theoretical observations are then applied directly to recent high-profile populist campaigns – including the 2016 Trump Presidential campaign and early Presidency – and the Brexit referendum to elucidating and compelling effect. Ultimately Evolution Politics and Charisma paints a clear evolutionary picture of the way in which politics is an emotional – not a rational – process where our emotions are continually targeted to great and strategic effect and where the most recent intersection of technology and physiology has driven the greatest surge in populism ever seen across the Western hemisphere since the 1930’s. Acknowledging this reality opens up exciting vistas in our understanding of the true power of charismatic populism and provides answers as to how its seductive and often dangerous power can be effectively resisted. | Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Bahlabelelelani – Why Do They Sing? Gender and Power in Contemporary Women’s Songs

Bahlabelelelani – Why Do They Sing? Gender and Power in Contemporary Women’s Songs

Indigenous societies steeped in patriarchy have various channels through which they deal with abusive characteristics of relations in some of these communities. One such route is through songs which sanction women to voice that which bound by societal expectations they would not commonly be able to say. This book focuses on the nature of women’s contemporary songs in the rural community of Zwelibomvu near Pinetown in KwaZulu-Natal. It aims to answer the question ‘Bahlabelelelani – Why do they sing?’ drawing on several discourses of gender and power to examine the content and purposes of the songs. Restricted by custom women resort to allusive languages such as found in ukushoza a song genre that includes poetic elements and solo dance songs. The songs when read in conjunction with the interviews and focus group discussions present a complex picture of women’s lives in contemporary rural KwaZulu-Natal and they offer their commentary on what it means to be a woman in this society. | Bahlabelelelani – Why Do They Sing?

Do Teachers Care About Truth? Epistemological Issues for Education

Do Teachers Care About Truth? Epistemological Issues for Education

This book first published in 1987 examines the notion of truth and then discusses knowledge and the way in which much of our knowledge revises or rejects the common-sense we start from. The author argues that our knowledge is not as secure as some would like to think and that there are important limits to the possibility for explanation. He shows how values permeate our ordinary thinking and argues against the objectivity of these values showing the practical consequences of this argument for teaching in schools. This stimulating approach to a fundamental educational issue does not require previous experience of formal philosophy and will be useful to both education students and teachers in schools. | Do Teachers Care About Truth?
