Drawing on debates about intangible cultural heritage (ICH) safeguarding at the local and international levels Intangible Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development: Inside a UNESCO Convention explores the theoretical and practical implications of the intertwinement between these policy fields.

The contributing authors who hail from a variety of different contexts and disciplinary backgrounds explore these issues from a unique vantage point as both scholars and actors of the processes they analyze. Playing different roles in the implementation of the Convention their positioning as insiders allows for a unique analytical perspective that is based on first-hand engagement with the practices of the Convention. Intangible Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development: Inside a UNESCO Convention sheds light on the complexity potential and consequences of combining ICH and SD at the policy-making level and in heritage practices on the ground. It will be of interest to academics and students working in heritage studies development studies anthropology archaeology international law political science international relations and sociology. | Intangible Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development Inside a UNESCO Convention

Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories: A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective shows how language influences mechanisms of cognition perception and belief and by extension its power to manipulate thoughts and beliefs. This exciting and original work is the first to apply cognitive linguistics to the analysis of political lies and conspiracy theories both of which have flourished in the internet age and which many argue are threatening democracy. It unravels the verbal mechanisms that make these different truths so effective and proliferative dissecting the verbal structures (metaphor irony connotative implications etc. ) of a variety of real-life cases concerning politicians conspiracy theorists and influencers. Marcel Danesi goes on to demonstrate how these linguistic structures switch on or switch off alternative mind worlds. This book is essential reading for students of cognitive linguistics and will enrich the studies of any student or researcher in language and linguistics more broadly as well as discourse analysis rhetoric or political science. | Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

Within a Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning context this book investigates how teachers and learners interacted and articulated their understanding of English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP)-related knowledge in a synchronous EFL classroom. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people receive education causing an almost overnight switch from on-campus instruction to distance learning. Under the use of three different learning analytics approaches this book has moved beyond the usual descriptive understanding of the online learning process to an in-depth exploratory and inferential analysis of the entities structures relations and processes of learning. The findings enrich current understandings of the complexity of ERPP teaching and learning in synchronous learning contexts. These findings also drive us to rethink and reshape the way ERPP instruction is delivered post-pandemic. An essential read for students and scholars of education and academic English. This book will also be a vital source for researchers in the field of learning analytics data analysis and data interpretation in language teaching and learning. | Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

The Transformation of Egypt (RLE Egypt)

The assassination of Sadat brings to an end another era in Egyptian history. This book examines the crucial issues in the transformation of Egypt in the period between the death of Nasser and the murder of Sadat. Focusing on the upheavals in the Egyptian political and economic structure over the last twenty years the book explains the change in Egypt's international orientation through a careful examination of domestic factors. The switch from Nasser's state socialist-political economy to Sadat's more laissez-faire approach and the institutional and structural links between the two are analysed as the key to understanding the dynamic developments within Egypt. The book argues that the propagation of a new political economy was the primary basis of Sadat's ability to remain in power while the weaknesses in that economy drove Sadat to seek external solutions and ultimately undermined his domestic support. His conduct of the 1973 war his trip to Jerusalem his enthusiasm for the United States and his whole perception of Middle Eastern affairs must be seen in terms of his domestic policies and internal troubles.

The Beatles and Film From Youth Culture to Counterculture

This concise yet comprehensive study explores the emblematic journey by four young men from Liverpool from the epicentre of teen-led youth culture to the experimentation of the counterculture and beyond. Beginning with the celebration of Britain’s own ‘youthquake’ in the joyous and genre-shifting A Hard Day’s Night (1964) the author delves into how the Beatles’ film work allows us to chart their subsequent musical maturation and retreat from the tribulations of stardom in Help! their tentative attempts at improvised filming in the televised Magical Mystery Tour (1967) their acceptance of cartoon representations as leaders of the hippie counterculture in Yellow Submarine (1968) and the final implosion of their musical dynamic in the recording studios of Let It Be (1970). The book analyses how as they grew with their fanbase the Beatles’ films alternate stylistically between mimetic representation and allegorical interpretation and switch narratively between fan-filled and welcoming worlds to films relaying introspection and isolation. Offering an in-depth case study of the successes and failures of British youth culture in a volatile decade The Beatles and Film is an engaging text for both scholars and general readers alike. | The Beatles and Film From Youth Culture to Counterculture

Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development An Innovative Solution for Environment Economy and Society

Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development argues that governance has become the core problem of sustainable development and identifies deliberative democracy and governance as a path forward for Western societies. In this book the author puts forward three messages. Firstly while sustainable development theoretically is a common good of all people it is in practice constantly associated with a multitude of smaller and larger conflicts. These conflicts arise repeatedly because in practice the benefits costs and risks of sustainable development are unequally distributed and therefore form a massive barrier to sustainable development. As a result sustainable development depends on the ability of the social and political institutions of societies to accommodate these conflicts. Second within the framework of their established institutional structures Western societies do not have the sufficient tools for conflict resolution that are adequate to the conditions of modern diversified societies and the complex challenges of sustainable development. They need to implement institutional reforms that switch institutional structures towards deliberation. Third by switching to deliberation Western societies can reach the high level of governance that enables them to achieve environmentally sustainable development that will bring them significant economic and social benefits and as a result may reach far beyond their borders. This volume offers a novel transdisciplinary approach to sustainable development and governance in Western societies. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of sociology economics politics environmental studies and philosophy as well as professionals and policymakers working in the area of sustainable development. | Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development An Innovative Solution for Environment Economy and Society
