Book Inventing International Society

Download or read book Inventing International Society written by T. Dunne and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-08-17 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inventing International Society is a narrative history of the English School of International Relations. After E.H. Carr departed from academic international relations in the late 1940s, Martin Wight became the most theoretically innovative scholar in the discipline. Wight found an institutional setting for his ideas in The British Committee, a group which Herbert Butterfield inaugurated in 1959. The book argues that this date should be regarded as the origin of a distinctive English School of International Relations. In addition to tracing the history of the School, the book argues that later English School scholars, such as Hedley Bull and R.J.Vincent, made a significant contribution to the new normative thinking in International Relations.

Book History and English in the Primary School

Download or read book History and English in the Primary School written by Pat Hoodless and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes to the primary curriculum over recent years have widened choice for all, yet the current wave of thinking seems determined to retreat 'back to basics'. This vibrant volume examines the many ways in which history can include and complement the teaching of English, to the greater benefit of both. Enthusiastic practitioners explain how lively classroom activities can influence the level of children's literacy, which means that the importance of the basics is recognised without compromising on the choice of subjects open to children. History emerges as a wonderful tool for exploring not only language and literature, but also as a way of stimulating the imagination and encouraging talk. The contributors here are all passionate about this vital link between two complementary subject areas and will convincingly win you over. The book is an invaluable companion for the student teacher, primary teacher and teacher educator.

Book Beyond Babel

    Book Details:
  • Author : Tom Clark
  • Publisher : John Benjamins Publishing Company
  • Release : 2022-10-20
  • ISBN : 9027256993
  • Pages : 258 pages

Download or read book Beyond Babel written by Tom Clark and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contribution that scholarly organizations make to the study of languages and literatures is a service to the value of systematically learning and using meaning—understanding that meaning operates in systems. Constructively speaking, these organizations support the teaching and research of our world’s experts in grammar, genre, medium, production, reception, exchange, critique, appreciation, and so on. More defensively, they are bulwarks against systems of misinformation, against the empowerment of misrepresentation and distrust between people. The chapters in this volume range from the Old Testament to Facebook and from East Asia to West Africa via Australia, the Americas, and Europe. The scholarly strength forged across that range speaks to similar strengths that so many scholarly organizations devoted to studies in languages and literatures have cultivated and maintained—often in the face of government indifference or hostility towards the Humanities. Beyond Babel makes a powerful case for their potential.

Book Performativity and Performance

Download or read book Performativity and Performance written by Andrew Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the age of Aristotle to the age of AIDS, writers, thinkers, performers and activists have wresteled with what "performance" is all about. At the same moment, "performativity"--a new concept in language theory--has become a ubiquitous term in literary studies. This volume grapples with the nature of these two key terms whose traces can be found everywhere: in the theatre, in the streets, in philosophy, in questions of race and gender, and in the sentences we speak.

Book Justice and Morality

Download or read book Justice and Morality written by Amanda Russell Beattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the contending theories of natural law and international relations, this book proposes a 'relational ontology' as the basis for rethinking our approach to international politics. Amanda Beattie challenges both the conventional interpretation of natural law as necessarily and intractably theological, and the dominant conception of international relations as structurally distinct from the ends of human good, in order to recover the centrality of other-directed agency to the promotion of human development. Offering an important contribution to the study of international political thought, the book contains a number of challenging and controversial ideas which should provoke constructive debate within international relations theory, political theory, and philosophical ethics.

Book The Eighty Years  Crisis

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ken Booth
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1998
  • ISBN : 9780521667838
  • Pages : 272 pages

Download or read book The Eighty Years Crisis written by Ken Booth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the agenda of E. H. Carr, and most obviously extends the title of his classic book The Twenty Years' Crisis, as the point of departure to discuss aspects of the world historical crisis from the end of the First World War until the end of the 1990s. This crisis - identified by 80 years of destructive wars, inequalities in life chances, and today's casualities of the global political economy - has shaped both the practices of international politics and the way they have been conceptualised and reconceptualised by specialists in International Relations. A distinguished group of contributors have written about the development of the academic discipline of International Relations in the inter-war years, the Cold War and post-Cold War eras; ethics, power and nationalism; the conditions of peace and the roles of law and peaceful change; and finally, considering future prospects, about globalization and the end of the old order.

Book Language Machines

Download or read book Language Machines written by Jeffrey Masten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Machines questions any easily progressive model of technological change, demonstrating the persistence rather than the obsolescence of language technologies over time, the continuous and complicated overlap of pens, presses, screens and voice. In these essays new technologies do not simply replace, but rather draw upon, absorb, displace and resituate earlier technologies.
