The Routledge Companion to Literature and Class

The Routledge Companion to Literature and Class

The Routledge Companion to Literature and Class offers a comprehensive and fresh assessment of the cultural impact of class in literature analyzing various innovative interdisciplinary approaches of textual analysis and intersections of literature including class subjectivities mental health gender and queer studies critical race theory quantitative and scientific methods and transnational perspectives in literary analysis. Utilizing these new methods and interdisciplinary maps from field-defining essayists students will become aware of ways to bring these elusive texts into their own writing as one of the parallel perspectives through which to view literature. This volume will provide students with an insight into the history of the intersections of class theory of class and invisibility in literature and new trends in exploring class in literature. These multidimensional approaches to literature will be a crucial resource for undergraduate and graduate students becoming familiar with class analysis and will offer seasoned scholars the most significant critical approaches in class studies.

Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs

Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs

This book which has now established itself as a classic study of working class boys describes how Paul Willis followed a group of 'lads' as they passed through the last two years of school and into work. The book explains that for 'the lads' it is their own culture which blocks teaching and prevents the realisation of liberal education aims. This culture exposes some of the contradictions within these formal aims and actually supplies the operational criteria by which a future in wage labour is judged. Paul Willis explores how their own culture can guide working class lads on to the shop floor. This is an uncompromising book which has provoked considerable discussion and controversy in educational circles throughout the world - it has been translated into Finnish German French Swedish Japanese and Spanish. | Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs

Heterostructured Materials Novel Materials with Unprecedented Mechanical Properties

Heterostructured Materials Novel Materials with Unprecedented Mechanical Properties

Heterostructured (HS) materials represent an emerging class of materials that are expected to become a major research field for the communities of materials mechanics and physics in the next couple of decades. One of the biggest advantages of HS materials is that they can be produced by large-scale industrial facilities and technologies and therefore can be commercialized without the scaling up and high-cost barriers that are often encountered by other advanced materials. This book collects recent papers on the progress in the field of HS materials especially their fundamental physics. The papers are arranged in a sequence of chapters that will help new researchers entering the field to have a quick and comprehensive understanding of HS materials including the fundamentals and recent progress in their processing characterization and properties. | Heterostructured Materials Novel Materials with Unprecedented Mechanical Properties

The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology Bioarchaeology of Mortuary Behaviour

The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology Bioarchaeology of Mortuary Behaviour

The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology spans the gap between archaeology and biological anthropology the field and laboratory and between francophone and anglophone funerary archaeological approaches to the remains of the dead and the understanding of societies past and present. Interest in archaeothanatology has grown considerably in recent years in English-language scholarship. This timely publication moves away from anecdotal case studies to offer syntheses of archaeothanatological approaches with an eye to higher-level inferences about funerary behaviour and its meaning in the past. Written by francophone scholars who have contributed to the development of the field and anglophone scholars inspired by the approach this volume offers detailed insight into the background and development of archaeothanatology its theory methods applications and its most recent advances with a lexicon of related vocabulary. This volume is a key source for archaeo-anthropologists and bioarchaeologists. It will benefit researchers lecturers practitioners and students in biological anthropology archaeology taphonomy and forensic science. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these disciplines and the emphasis placed on analysis in situ this book will also be of interest to specialists in entomology (micro)biology and soil science. | The Routledge Handbook of Archaeothanatology Bioarchaeology of Mortuary Behaviour

The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability

The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability

The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability explores disability in visual culture to uncover the ways in which bodily and cognitive differences are articulated physically and theoretically and to demonstrate the ways in which disability is culturally constructed. This companion is organized thematically and includes artists from across historical periods and cultures in order to demonstrate the ways in which disability is historically and culturally contingent. The book engages with questions such as: How are people with disabilities represented in art? How are notions of disability articulated in relation to ideas of normality hybridity and anomaly? How do artists use visual culture to affirm or subvert notions of the normative body? Contributors consider the changing role of disability in visual culture the place of representations in society and the ways in which disability studies engages with and critiques intersectional notions of gender race ethnicity class and sexuality. This book will be particularly useful for scholars in art history disability studies visual culture and museum studies.

Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics

Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics

While dating from post-Classical economists such as Thorstein Veblen and Joseph Schumpeter the inception of the modern field of evolutionary economics is usually dated to the early 1980s. Broadly speaking evolutionary economics sees the economy as undergoing continual evolutionary change. Evolutionary change indicates that these changes were not planned but rather were the result of innovations and selection processes. These often involved winners and losers but most importantly they resulted in actors learning what was and was not working. Evolutionary economics in contrast to mainstream economics emphasises the relevance of variables such as technology institutions decision rules routines or consumer preferences for explaining the complex evolutionary changes in the economy. In so doing evolutionary economics significantly broadens the scope of economic analysis and sheds new light on key concepts and issues of the discipline. This handbook draws on a stellar cast list of international contributors ranging from the founders of the field to the newest voices. The volume explores the current state of the art in the field of evolutionary economics at the levels of the micro (e. g. firms and households) meso (e. g. industries and institutions) and macro (e. g. economic policy structure and growth). Overall the Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics provides an excellent overview of current trends and issues in this rapidly developing field.
