The Dynamics of Pilgrimage: Christianity, Holy Places, and Sensory Experience (Routledge Studies in Pilgrimage, Religious Travel and Tourism)
by Dee DyasThis book offers a systematic, chronological analysis of the role played by the human senses in experiencing pilgrimage and sacred places, past and present. It thus addresses two major gaps in the existing literature, by providing a broad historical narrative against which patterns of continuity and change can be more meaningfully discussed, and focusing on the central, but curiously neglected, area of the core dynamics of pilgrim experience. Bringing together the still-developing fields of Pilgrimage Studies and Sensory Studies in a historically framed conversation, this interdisciplinary study traces the dynamics of pilgrimage and engagement with holy places from the beginnings of the Judaeo-Christian tradition to the resurgence of interest evident in twenty-first century England. Perspectives from a wide range of disciplines, from history to neuroscience, are used to examine themes including sacred sites in the Bible and Early Church; pilgrimage and holy places in early and later medieval England; the impact of the English Reformation; revival of pilgrimage and sacred places during the nineteenth and twentieth Centuries; and the emergence of modern place-centred, popular 'spirituality'. Addressing the resurgence of pilgrimage and its persistent link to the attachment of meaning to place, this book will be a key reference for scholars of Pilgrimage Studies, History of Religion, Religious Studies, Sensory Studies, Medieval Studies, and Early Modern Studies.
Dynamics of Political Development in Afghanistan
by Hafizullah EmadiThe bureaucratic ruling elites in the state apparatus, lacking public support, relied on imperial powers for economic, military, and political assistance, and an assortment of established and rising imperial powers since the eighteenth century exploited the situation to advance their own agendas. This bookundertakes an analysis of the dynamics of political development in Afghanistan and policies of imperial powers that influenced the direction of development in the country, as well as the contributing issues of tribalism, ethnicity, and regionalism that constituted the very fabric of Afghanistan's society.

Dynamics of Poverty in Rural Bangladesh
by Noriatsu Matsui Yukio Ikemoto Pk. Md. RahmanThe study of poverty dynamics is important for effective poverty alleviation policies because the changes in income poverty are also accompanied by changes in socioeconomic factors such as literacy, gender parity in school, health care, infant mortality, and asset holdings. In order to examine the dynamics of poverty, information from 1,212 households in 32 rural villages in Bangladesh was collected in December 2004 and December 2009. This book reports the analytical results from quantitative and qualitative surveys from the same households at two points of time, which yielded the panel data for understanding the changes in situations of poverty. Efforts have been made to include the most recent research from diverse disciplines including economics, statistics, anthropology, education, health care, and vulnerability study. Specifically, findings from logistic regression analysis, polychoric principal component analysis, kernel density function, income mobility with the help of the Markov chain model, and child nutrition status from anthropometric measures have been presented. Asset holdings and liabilities of the chronically poor as well as those of three other economic groups (the descending non-poor, the ascending poor, and the non-poor) are analyzed statistically. The degrees of vulnerability to poverty are examined by years of schooling, landholding size, gender of household head, social capital, and occupation. The multiple logistic regression model was used to identify important risk factors for a household's vulnerability. In 2009, some of the basic characteristics of the chronically poor were: higher percentage and number of female-headed households, higher dependency ratio, lower levels of education, fewer years of schooling, and limited employment. There was a low degree of mobility of households from one poverty status to another in the period 2004-2009, implying that the process of economic development and high economic growth in the macroeconomy during this time failed to improve the poverty situation in rural Bangladesh.
The Dynamics Of Race And Gender: Some Feminist Interventions (Gender And Society Ser.)
by Haleh Afshar Mary MaynardDuring the past decade, feminism and women's studies have been forced to acknowledge the diversities of women's experiences, as well as the patriarchal oppression that they share. The emphasis on difference has shattered the illusion of homogeneity and sisterhood which previously characterized white, middle-class Westernized feminist politics and analysis.; There is relatively little work which concentrates on the inter-relationships of race and gender in general, and the consequences of racism, for women of different backgrounds, in particular. "The Dynamics of Race and Gender" aims to contribute to the debate and understanding in this area. Emphasis has been given to age, class, disability, race and sexuality. The contributors to this volume are from different religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, giving a balanced and broad ranging perspective on this important social question.; Organized around three main themes, which are; issues of theory and method, questions of identity, racism and sexism at work, the chapters of this book indicate how the processes of race and gender interrelate in highly complex and contradictory ways. Demonstrating the benefits to be gained from analysing the interplay of various axes of differentiation in specific empirical and historical locations, and in doing so, under- scoring the point that diversity among women cannot be seen as a static phenomenon.
Dynamics of Rational Negotiation: Game Theory, Language Games and Forms of Life
by Jesús Padilla Gálvez Margit GaffalThis book uses game theory to analyze the strategies developed in negotiation processes. Offering a detailed analysis of competition and cooperation, it explores various bargaining strategies that result from the application of Nash equilibrium and mixed strategies. Employing a blend of game theory and real-world examples, the authors describe typical negotiation scenarios and unveil the art of negotiation strategy – dissecting both competitive and cooperative tactics.This comprehensive analysis explores the multifaceted dimensions of negotiation, highlighting not only formal aspects but also the economic, social, political, and human factors at play. The authors discuss the basic structures of cooperative and non-cooperative games and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the language games that take place in negotiations. They examine how negotiators belonging to different forms of life can trade with each other when their respective language games are different and prone to misinterpretation. The book also probes arbitration and mediation as conflict-resolution tools within this intricate landscape. Designed for the curious minds seeking insight into negotiation strategies, as well as students and scholars of diverse fields, this book fosters an understanding of negotiation's labyrinthine pathways. "Dynamics of Rational Negotiation" unlocks the door to negotiation's complexities, inviting readers to unravel the layers of human interaction.
The Dynamics of Regulation: Cultural Management and Policy: a case study of broadcasting advertising in the United Kingdom
by George GantziasThis title was first published in 2001. New technologies and the liberalization of the broadcasting and telecommunications market, together with the digitalization and globalization of new services, have challenged irrevocably not only the traditional markets and instructional structures but also the legal systems of broadcasting and telecommunication sectors in the 21st century. This text takes into account changes in digital broadcasting and telecommunication by pointing out that convergence is the process through which broadcasting, telecommunication, press and information sectors are transformed into new sectors (info-com arteries, info-com products, info-com services and info-com content) in order to be fully compatible with the emerging new info-communication industry in the digital transformation and info-communication era.
The Dynamics of Social Capital and Civic Engagement in Asia: Vibrant Societies (Routledge Contemporary Asia Series)
by Amrita Daniere Hy V. LuongThe purpose of this volume is to highlight the impacts on civic engagement of social capital, and its various component parts (trust, norms, networks and associations), in diverse parts of Asia. Addressing the pressing need for improved governance within the spatial, political and cultural realities in the rapidly transforming landscapes of Asia, the contributors to the book bring together interdisciplinary work that focuses on the ways in which civic engagement can link with social capital building. The goal of this volume is to inspire policy that recognizes that a vibrant society with access to rich stores of positive social capital requires civil society, alternate civilities and the state. The result is a dialogue on the interplay of social capital and civic engagement in socio-political contexts quite different from those found in the West. This book contributes to current discussions about the nature of social relations and their connection to politics and change and offers a unique lens into the validity of these important concepts in contemporary research across a variety of Asian settings. It will be of interest to social scientists across the board, especially those with an interest in Asia and Asian development.
The Dynamics of Social Practice: Everyday Life and how it Changes (Electronic Resource Ser.)
by Prof. Mika Pantzar Dr Matt Watson Dr Elizabeth ShoveEveryday life is defined and characterised by the rise, transformation and fall of social practices. Using terminology that is both accessible and sophisticated, this essential book guides the reader through a multi-level analysis of this dynamic. In working through core propositions about social practices and how they change the book is clear and accessible; real world examples, including the history of car driving, the emergence of frozen food, and the fate of hula hooping, bring abstract concepts to life and firmly ground them in empirical case-studies and new research. Demonstrating the relevance of social theory for public policy problems, the authors show that the everyday is the basis of social transformation addressing questions such as: * how do practices emerge, exist and die? * what are the elements from which practices are made? * how do practices recruit practitioners? * how are elements, practices and the links between them generated, renewed and reproduced? Precise, relevant and persuasive this book will inspire students and researchers from across the social sciences. Elizabeth Shove is Professor of Sociology at Lancaster University Mika Pantzar is Research Professor at the National Consumer Research Centre, Helsinki Matt Watson is Lecturer in Social and Cultural Geography at University of Sheffield.
The Dynamics of Social Welfare Policy (Fourth Edition)
by Joel Blau Mimi AbramovitzThe Dynamics of Social Welfare Policy uses the lens of an innovative policy model and an emphasis on social change to break new ground in social welfare policy texts. Starting from the explicit premise that every kind of social work practice embodies a social policy, the book stresses that policy knowledge enables social workers to help clients as well as to help themselves. Drawing on this awareness, the text then makes the standard social welfare policy material come alive by asking two new questions: 1) what factors trigger social change in these social policies?; and 2) how do these factors affect the social policies that influence what social workers actually do? To answer these questions, it develops a five-part policy model, which shows, through full chapters on each subject, how economics, politics, ideology, social movements, and the history of social welfare define social welfare policy.

Dynamics of the Pictured Page: Representing the Nation in the "Illustrated London News" (Routledge Revivals)
by Peter W. SinnemaOriginally published in 1998, Dynamics of the Pictured Page provides a critical study of the world's first regularly illustrated newspaper, the Illustrated London News, founded by Herbert Ingram in 1842. Focusing on the first decade of this enormously influential weekly, this book situates the ILN within the publishing history of periodicals, arguing not only for a better understanding of those new modes of production engendered by an illustrated newspaper, but also for the need to theorize the relations between engraved images and printed text that constituted the ILN, which advertised itself as an unprecedented 'marriage' between art and literature. Through a series of interpretive interventions that focus on categories that would have had especially powerful reverberations for Victorian readers (for example, the home, the railway, the public funeral, and serialized literature), this book traces the newspaper's complex strategies of appeal to a middle-class English readership. This book will appeal to students of nineteenth-century literature and history (especially those with an interest in publishing history and the history of the press), as well as to Victorian studies scholars.
Dynamiken lokaler Flüchtlingshilfe: Engagement im Spannungsfeld von Staat und Zivilgesellschaft (Bürgergesellschaft und Demokratie)
by Verena SchmidDie vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, welche Bedeutung, Formen und Funktionen zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement in Krisenzeiten einnimmt. Expliziert wird dies am Beispiel der sogenannten Flüchtlingskrise 2015 in Deutschland untersucht. Zunächst wird die lokale Flüchtlingshilfe als strategisches Aktionsfeld betrachtet und die Flüchtlingskrise als exogener Schock gesehen, welcher das Feld in die Krise stürzte. Zudem wird das bürgerschaftliche Engagement in seiner Pluralität, Relationalität und Historizität beleuchtet. Drittens werden die Besonderheiten der lokalen Ebene thematisiert. Die Studie zeigt, dass sich die beiden lokalen Felder nach dem ersten Schock durch die Krise zunächst über Netzwerke strukturieren, unterstützt vom Ausbau von Kooperationen, welche die Beziehungen und Positionen im Feld festigen, bevor weitere Strukturen entstehen oder sich professionalisieren. Nicht alle Akteure im Feld sind in der Lage, sich über diesen Prozess zu etablieren, dennoch entsteht schrittweise ein neues, stabiles Feld der lokalen Flüchtlingshilfe, welches dem vor der Krise in seiner Ausgestaltung stark ähnelt. Die Arbeit leistet durch ihre ganzheitliche, empirische Betrachtung der Geschehnisse während der sogenannten Flüchtlingskrise einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements in seiner lokalen Eingebundenheit.
Dynamiken von Lohnungleichheiten in Europa: Betriebliche und arbeitsmarktpolitische Anpassungen während der Eurokrise (Sozialstrukturanalyse)
by Sven BroschinskiDiese Studie rekonstruiert die Entwicklungen der Löhne und Lohnungleichheiten während der Eurokrise aus einer gesamteuropäischen sowie inner- und zwischenstaatlichen Perspektive. Es wird gezeigt, dass die unterschiedlichen betrieblichen als auch arbeitsmarktpolitischen Anpassungenin den Mitgliedsstaaten zu sehr heterogenen Mustern der innerstaatlichen Lohnentwicklungen beigetragen haben. So erfuhren vor allem die osteuropäischen Mitgliedsstaatensowie Deutschland einen deutlichen Anstieg des unteren Lohnniveaus, während es in den südeuropäischen Ländern sowie Großbritannien zu starken Reallohneinbußen gekommen ist, die teilweise durch die veränderte Zusammensetzung der Arbeitnehmerschaft verdeckt werden. Gleichzeitig haben diese Entwicklungen zu einer EU-weiten Konvergenz der Löhne sowie einem Rückgang der zwischenstaatlichen Lohnungleichheiten geführt. Ein zentraler Erklärungsfaktor für diese Trends sind die rechtlich-institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen, die die Auswirkungen der makroökonomischen Schocks auf die Lohn- und Beschäftigungsstrukturen in hohem Maße moderiert haben und die selbst auch zum Gegenstand krisenbedingter Anpassungsprozesse wurden.

Dysconscious Racism, Afrocentric Praxis, and Education for Human Freedom: The selected works of Joyce E. King
by Joyce E. KingA dynamic leader and visionary teacher/scholar, Joyce E. King has made important contributions to the knowledge base on preparing teachers for diversity, culturally connected teaching and learning, and inclusive transformative leadership for change, often in creative partnership with communities. Dr. King is internationally recognized for her innovative interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching practice, and leadership. Her concept of "dysconscious racism" continues to influence research and practice in education and sociology in the U.S. and in other countries. This volume weaves together ten of her most influential writings and four invited reflections from prominent scholars on the major themes the work addresses. In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces—extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/or practical contributions—so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field.
Dystopian Emotions: Emotional Landscapes and Dark Futures
by Jordan McKenzie and Roger PatulnyAs nations reel from the effects of poverty, inequality, climate change and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, it feels as though the world has entered a period characterized by pessimism, cynicism and anxiety. This edited collection challenges individualized understandings of emotion, revealing how they relate to cultural, economic and political realities in difficult times. Combining numerous empirical studies and theoretical developments from around the world, the diverse contributors explore how dystopian visions of the future influence, and are influenced by, the emotions of an anxious and precarious present. This is an original investigation into the changing landscape of emotion in dark and uncertain times.
The Dystopian Imagination in Contemporary Spanish Literature and Film (Hispanic Urban Studies)
by Diana Q. PalardyThis study examines contemporary Spanish dystopian literature and films (in)directly related to the 2008 financial crisis from an urban cultural studies perspective. It explores culturally-charged landscapes that effectively convey the zeitgeist and reveal deep-rooted anxieties about issues such as globalization, consumerism, immigration, speculation, precarity, and political resistance (particularly by Indignados [Indignant Ones] from the 15-M Movement). The book loosely traces the trajectory of the crisis, with the first part looking at texts that underscore some of the behaviors that indirectly contributed to the crisis, and the remaining chapters focusing on works that directly examine the crisis and its aftermath. This close reading of texts and films by Ray Loriga, Elia Barceló, Ion de Sosa, José Ardillo, David Llorente, Eduardo Vaquerizo, and Ricardo Menéndez Salmón offers insights into the creative ways that these authors and directors use spatial constructions to capture the dystopian imagination.

e-Democracy
by David Rios Insua Simon FrenchInternet is starting to permeate politics much as it has previously revolutionised education, business or the arts. Thus, there is a growing interest in areas of e-government and, more recently, e-democracy. However, most attempts in this field have just envisioned standard political approaches facilitated by technology, like e-voting or e-debating. Alternatively, we could devise a more transforming strategy based on deploying web based group decision support tools and promote their use for public policy decision making. This book delineates how this approach could be implemented. It addresses foundations, basic methodologies, potential implementation and applications, together with a thorough discussion of the many challenging issues. This innovative text will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of e-government, e-democracy and e-participation and research in decision analysis, negotiation analysis and group decision support.
