Thumala Olave M: The Love of Books

The Love of Books

Attachment to a Changing Cultural Object

New Studies in Critical Realism and Education Routledge Critical Realism

In an increasingly more global society there are several arguments for looking at international and not the least national trends in pupil assessment. Firstly, there has been increasing attention about comparable levels of national performance in PISA tests. Secondly, looking at the experiences of other countries gives an indication of experiences, both positive and negative with new forms of assessment. How should international trends in pupil assessment be conceptualised, if the desire is to avoid for the moment the temptation of looking for national and historical peculiarities, that might potentially upset the validity of and dominance of such trends? Despite the strength of the assumption that assessment can be a form of positivist measurement, this book will explore if and how such forms of assessment might actually test critical thinking. This is a distinctly human attribute with the potential of transcending the view that psychometric testing is only suitable for the testing of motor skills.It can be noted that even though there is no single once and for all list of international trends that exert a dominant influence upon assessment practices in different countries, there are certain debates and challenges faced by policy makers and assessment practitioners alike: <ul> <li>selection vs. certification</li> <li>applying assessment criteria vs. holistic judgments</li> <li>technologically mediated assessment vs. non-technology mediated face-to-face assessment</li> <li>assessment for, of and as assessment</li> <li>assessment principles vs. a more pragmatic approach to assessment practices</li> </ul>As we have suggested in the desire to be more accurate the pursuit of different forms of assessment risk searching for the pupil’s knowledge, skills and attitudes as if they were in some way intransitives

Explorations in Practical, Pastoral and Empirical Theology

This book is founded upon the understanding that things matter to people. Exploring the renewing of practical theology through critical attention to the values and practices of everyday life, this book looks at how recent cultural and epistemological shifts have generated new agendas for theological thinking. Engaging with recent debates in many disciplines that have explored the relationship between persons and objects, Walton advocates a theological methodology which is radically incarnational, though proposing that incarnational theology itself must be rethought in the light of shifts in our understandings of materiality, epistemology and embodiment: when we speak of God integrally present in the material world, God as Word or God in flesh we can no longer assume that these affirmations carry the same meaning they once did. Introducing the work of new materialists focussing in particular on Miller and Bennett and their critique of materiality and appreciation of the sacred potentiality of things, Walton then explores the possibility of an affirmative approach to the created order - including material objects - which is based upon the radically incarnational aspects of the Franciscan tradition. Drawing upon insights offered in the work of Walter Benjamin, Michel de Certeau, Gaston Bachelard and others to construct a theological anthropology that celebrates the significance of things in human life, Walton goes on to argue that there can be discerned within the work of 20th century women writers a mystical appreciation of materiality which is congruent with the incarnational theology being developed within this work. Examples are drawn from the writings of Virginia Woolf, Ettie Hillesum, Elizabeth Smart and Michelle Roberts in order to establish how everyday material objects may become hugely spiritually significant to people. Finally, the book explores how habitual material interactions with things can be understood as sites of potential personal or political renewal.

A New Theology of Everyday Life

God in Things

The book seeks to move forward debates on postsecularity as conceived by Habermas et.al. which recognise that, contrary to secular expectations, religion persists. The study is unique in exploring the irruptions (external breakthroughs) that unsettle secularisation and which give rise to postsecularisation. This shift has rendered sociology vulnerable to some unexpected theological considerations, some of which are explored in the study. Topics considered in the study, which make it accessible, include: dilemmas of naming; emotions and the visual; martyrdom and theodicy. Each of these has irruptive properties that force sociology to reconsider its theological debts. Postsecularity has become a fashionable term, but one which needs to be fleshed out and this study grasps a moment of opportunity to do so, which renders it original.

Routledge Advances in Sociology

Philanthropy, Art and Society investigates the socio-economic and cultural factors shaping philanthropy, historically and at present, from tax incentives and government policy to norms, values and laws. Critically evaluating the social consequences and impact of philanthropy, the book shows that it is a phenomenon that leads to fundamental changes in the way we think about how to belong, and how we experience the world around us.

Philanthropy, Art and Society sets up, for the first time, the field of arts philanthropy in the UK, shedding light on the variety of ways in which individuals and organisations give their time and money to support the arts. Herrero and Reid evaluate the history of arts philanthropy, its legacy, and its significance in today’s society. They explore the idea that giving to the arts is a form of behaviour influenced by its specific historical, socio-cultural and political context which can profoundly affect its recipients (organisations and individuals) as well as shape the very context in which these recipients operate.First, they investigate the socio-economic and cultural factors shaping philanthropy, historically and at present, from tax incentives and government policy to norms, values and laws. Second, they critically evaluate the social consequences and impact of philanthropy, asking such questions as: <ul> <li>does philanthropy reinforce or mitigate social inequalities?</li> <li>what effects does it have on organisational cultures and structures of recipients?</li> <li>can philanthropy ensure the long-term sustainability of the arts sectors?</li> </ul>The book’s exploration of how philanthropy constitutes society shows that philanthropy is a phenomenon that leads to fundamental changes in the way we think about how to belong, and how we experience the world around us. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, politics, international relations, economics, anthropology, cultural policy, cultural studies, philanthropy and non-profit studies, entrepreneurial studies, business studies, management, and the non-profit sector.

Grundwissen Politik

Nicht erst seit der Transformation der politischen Systeme in Osteuropa wird dem schon in den 1950er Jahren entwickeltem Ansatz der politischen Kulturforschung wieder größere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Seine zentrale Frage richtet sich auf die Herstellung und Bedingungen der Stabilität eines politischen Systems. Neuere Betrachtungen implizieren die Integration der politischen Kulturforschung in die Überlegungen der vergleichenden empirischen Demokratieforschung als eine grundsätzlich Staaten und Regionen vergleichende Form der Analyse. Sie besitzt somit eine methodische, aber auch inhaltliche Breite wie kaum ein anderer politikwissenschaftlicher Forschungsansatz. Die Zielstellung der Vorgehensweise politischer Kulturforschung bezieht sich vor allem auf die subjektiven Einstellungen der Bevölkerung, welche der Grundpfeiler für die zukünftige Konsolidierung, Akzeptanz und Aufrechterhaltung der existierenden Staatsformen, aber auch der Demokratie als Konzept an sich sind. Das vorliegende Buch schafft durch die Integration der theoretischen Grundprämissen des Ansatzes der politischen Kulturforschung, der Darstellung seiner Einbindung in die international vergleichende Demokratieforschung, dem Aufzeigen seines methodischen Vorgehens und der Explikation der wichtigsten internationalen Vergleichsergebnisse eine breit gefächerte Diskussionsgrundlage für Forschung und Lehre.¿

Human–Computer Interaction Series

This book covers key topics regarding the research and creation of personas across cultures for human-computer interaction (HCI).&nbsp;Through empirical cases studies, it examines a breadth of approaches, challenges and reflections on personas deployed in different locales over time.Personas&nbsp;have been artefacts of&nbsp;enquiry&nbsp;and praxis since Alan Cooper brought them to mainstream technology design.&nbsp;Yet, their&nbsp;study&nbsp;and emergence across cultures have been little explored –least of all synthesised in a monograph,&nbsp;this book fills that gap.It consolidates the body of work on persona studies conducted in a variety of locations in India, Brazil, Kyrgyzstan, Namibia, Vietnam, Chile, Mozambique, Malaysia and South Africa, drawing upon two somewhat competing, if complementary methodologies: User-Centred Design and Participatory Design. Rather than prescribing tools, techniques, methods or methodologies, it illustrates thehistorical versatility and epistemological plasticity of personas in the design of technologies shaped by dominant, situated, inclusive or culturally nuanced representations of people. It draws from the author's extensive knowledge of case studies as well as from his own work to provide examples, reflections and audiovisual illustrations of relevant concepts and issues.&nbsp; Personas Across Cultures: Representing the Next Billion Users&nbsp;is designed for early and seasoned career researchers in HCI who might approach the design of personas across cultures for the first time, and scholars and practitioners in related fields such as&nbsp;interaction design,&nbsp;usability, user experience and co-design.
