Critical Memory Studies

This open access book proposes slow memory as a new framework for understanding how remembrance operates across time, urging scholars and practitioners to resist the acceleration that characterizes both contemporary scholarship and public memory cultures. The authors explore the theoretical foundations of slow memory in relation to environmental humanities and Indigenous studies, emphasizing themes of deep time, intergenerational justice, and contested memory regimes. The collection focuses on the fields of environment, (de)industrialization, welfare, politics, and conflict to examine how gradual transformations impact the present through remembrance practices at different tempos. It advocates for a deceleration of scholarly and commemorative practices to develop ethical, sustainable, and inclusive engagements with the past. By foregrounding slowness as a conceptual and methodological tool, and slow memory as a "connective concept," this book offers a vital framework for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to rethink the temporalities of remembrance in an era of rapid transformation. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. This publication is based upon work from COST Action CA20105 on Slow Memory, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

Theory and Practice for Transformative Change

Slowing Down Memory Studies

How access is replacing ownership--and changing who we are."You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy. Whatever you want you'll rent." That was the World Economic Forum's number one prediction for 2030, made back in 2016. The timing might be slightly off, but it's undeniably true that ownership is on a significant decline and is creating a tectonic shift from a society of owners to a society of users, renters, and streamers.As a result, we're trading ownership for access, purchases for subscriptions, and possessions for the rights to cloud-stored digital copies. Homeowners are giving way to forever renters, and some have even embraced the life of a digital nomad.This shift is more than just an economic one; it's a profound challenge to centuries of using ownership to form our identity. In fundamental, human ways, we are what we own. So what are we if we don't own much?In Possessions, Carey Morewedge, a leading researcher and powerful voice in behavioral science, marketing, and consumer behavior, leads us on a journey to answer that question. He takes us on a fascinating tour of the rapidly shifting landscape, from a life of creating ownership--possessing things--to a life of "liquid consumption"--life-as-a-service, in which all you possess are your experiences and your brand (and probably a phone). From Delaware goat farms to Australian housing tracts to a Quebec City ice hotel; from an artist in London to a former economist who lived for a time with only his devices and what he could carry on his back, you'll visit places and meet people that show just how complicated and compelling the idea of ownership is, why you value your things so much, and what happens when you can't (or decide not to) own something.As the economy continues to shift toward a reality closer to the World Economic Forum's prediction for 2030, Possessions will help you understand that shift and what it means to all of us--when we own less and use more.

How We Think about Our Stuff, and Ourselves, as We Own Less and Use More

Possessions

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment and control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

How has fashion become such an important signifier of French nationhood? How has fashion journalism been used to mediate political ideologies like fascism? These questions and more are answered in the first book to comprehensively explore the interactions between fashion, the media, soft power, and nationhood. With a geographically diverse range of case studies and a unique focus on fashion journalism, Fashion and Power covers the origins of the relationship between fashion, cultural power, and national identity in 'courtly' societies, through the Cold War to the identities of emerging fashion nations such as China and Nigeria. Examining figures from 'La Jeune Fille Américaine' to First Ladies, Nelson Best argues how, in Susan Kaiser's words, 'representations of nation are built on the backs of women's bodies.' By exploring fashion journalism as a discourse of cultural power that shapes the identity of nations in different times and places, Fashion and Power reveals the contingency of these power relations and the possibility of their renegotiation. This accessible and highly engaging book is an invaluable resource not only for fashion studies students but also for those in media and cultural studies and anyone interested in fashion, identity, and power.

Transform your leadership outcomes by changing these everyday words From A to THE: The Psycholinguistic Approach to Leadership, Ryan Avery, the 2012 world champion of public speaking and trained organizational psychologist, reveals how small shifts in everyday language create monumental changes in leadership outcomes. Drawing on linguistic data, original research, and real-world stories gathered over the last decade, Avery identifies the specific words that erode trust and weaken authority. The book blends science and storytelling to show why certain common words kill momentum, spark confusion, or undermine connection, and what to say instead. Avery provides replacement language designed to drive clarity, commitment, and trust. Each of the words is examined through psycholinguistic research, giving leaders evidence-based strategies to communicate with greater influence and impact across every interaction. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>Evidence-based explanations of how specific word choices shape perception, trust, and team motivation in leadership contexts</li> <li>Practical replacement language leaders can adopt immediately to strengthen authority and build deeper connection with their teams</li> <li>Real-world stories from coaching executives, leadership teams, and C-suite professionals across multiple industries over the last decade</li> <li>Psycholinguistic frameworks that connect everyday language patterns to measurable changes in leadership clarity and team commitment</li> </ul> Ideal for CEOs, executives, and leaders at every organizational level, From A to THE provides the research-backed approach to communication that replaces counterproductive language habits with precise, influence-driven alternatives, helping leaders build trust, create clarity, and inspire commitment through the words they choose daily.

The Psycholinguistic Approach to Leadership

From A to THE

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

Lessons for Building a New Social Contract at Work

Roads Not Taken

This interdisciplinary collection illuminates the religious roots of marriage and divorce in Europe and their divergent history from the 18th century to the present day. The 18th century was a pivotal period in terms of how the rules governing marriage and divorce were determined, with authority to set and adjudicate on rules shifting from religious authorities to the state. This book evaluates these historical developments, paying particular attention to the waxing or waning influence of religious institutions, values, or norms and whether further suggestions for reform have been made. Volume 1 of A History of Family Law in Europe examines how, and the extent to which, marriage formation and dissolution are regulated in the written texts of the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions. The contributors analyse the respective traditions' teachings on marriage formation, marital impediments, and dissolubility, including these traditions' views as to the socially binding character of these teachings. Jurisdiction-specific chapters focusing on countries across Northern, Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe examine the regulation of marriage formation and dissolution in the context of religious and other cultural influences. This book brings together the insights of an international team of leading marriage-law scholars across Europe, and will be a significant resource for scholars of family law, legal history, and the history of religion.
