The Sexual Politics of Ballroom Dancing (Genders and Sexualities in the Social Sciences)
by Vicki HarmanThis book presents an engaging sociological investigation into how gender is negotiated and performed in ballroom and Latin dancing that draws on extensive ethnographic research, as well as the author’s own experience as a dancer. It explores the key factors underpinning the popularity of this leisure activity and highlights what this reveals more broadly about the nature of gender roles at the current time. The author begins with an overview of its rich social history and shifting class status, establishing the context within which contemporary masculinities and femininities in this community are explored. Real and imagined gendered traditions are examined across a range of dancer experiences that follows the trajectory of a typical learner: from finding a partner, attending lessons and forming networks, through to taking part in competitions. The analysis of these narratives creates a nuanced picture of a dance culture that is empowering, yet also highly consumerist and image-conscious; a highly ritualised set of practices that both reinstate and transgress gender roles. This innovative contribution to the feminist leisure literature will appeal to students and scholars of anthropology, dance, sport, gender, cultural and media studies.
Shadows of Doubt: Stereotypes, Crime, and the Pursuit of Justice
by Brendan O'Flaherty Rajiv SethiCrime and punishment occur under extreme uncertainty. Offenders, victims, police, judges, and jurors make high-stakes decisions with limited information under severe time pressure. With compelling stories and data on how people act and react, O’Flaherty and Sethi reveal the extent to which we rely on stereotypes as shortcuts in our decision making.
Shaping Human Science Disciplines: Institutional Developments in Europe and Beyond (Socio-Historical Studies of the Social and Human Sciences)
by Christian Fleck Matthias Duller Victor KarádyThis book presents an analysis of the institutional development of selected social science and humanities (SSH) disciplines in Argentina, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Where most narratives of a scholarly past are presented as a succession of ‘ideas,’ research results and theories, this collection highlights the structural shifts in the systems of higher education, as well as institutions of research and innovation (beyond the universities) within which these disciplines have developed. This institutional perspective will facilitate systematic comparisons between developments in various disciplines and countries. Across eight country studies the book reveals remarkably different dynamics of disciplinary growth between countries, as well as important interdisciplinary differences within countries. In addition, instances of institutional contractions and downturns and veritable breaks of continuity under authoritarian political regimes can be observed, which are almost totally absent from narratives of individual disciplinary histories. This important work will provide a valuable resource to scholars of disciplinary history, the history of ideas, the sociology of education and of scientific knowledge.
Sharenthood: Why We Should Think before We Talk about Our Kids Online (Strong Ideas)
by Leah A. PlunkettFrom baby pictures in the cloud to a high school's digital surveillance system: how adults unwittingly compromise children's privacy online.Our children's first digital footprints are made before they can walk—even before they are born—as parents use fertility apps to aid conception, post ultrasound images, and share their baby's hospital mug shot. Then, in rapid succession come terabytes of baby pictures stored in the cloud, digital baby monitors with built-in artificial intelligence, and real-time updates from daycare. When school starts, there are cafeteria cards that catalog food purchases, bus passes that track when kids are on and off the bus, electronic health records in the nurse's office, and a school surveillance system that has eyes everywhere. Unwittingly, parents, teachers, and other trusted adults are compiling digital dossiers for children that could be available to everyone—friends, employers, law enforcement—forever. In this incisive book, Leah Plunkett examines the implications of “sharenthood”—adults' excessive digital sharing of children's data. She outlines the mistakes adults make with kids' private information, the risks that result, and the legal system that enables “sharenting.”Plunkett describes various modes of sharenting—including “commercial sharenting,” efforts by parents to use their families' private experiences to make money—and unpacks the faulty assumptions made by our legal system about children, parents, and privacy. She proposes a “thought compass” to guide adults in their decision making about children's digital data: play, forget, connect, and respect. Enshrining every false step and bad choice, Plunkett argues, can rob children of their chance to explore and learn lessons. The Internet needs to forget. We need to remember.
Shift: A New Mindset for Sustainable Execution
by M. Kathryn Brohman Eileen Brown Jim McSheffreyOrganizations all too often create impressive strategies but fail at implementing them. Based on research with over 750 organizations, SHIFT conceptualizes execution with energy management in mind to offer discrete capabilitie that will help leaders "shift" into more sustainable and dynamic execution practices. With the importance of orchestrating balance between stability and flexibility at the core, SHIFT is written in four parts - identifying execution barriers, filling gaps, removing distractions, and differentiating execution leaders that are capable of driving improvement. Most novel is the introduction of a performance indicator, called the Cost of Execution (COx), that quantifies execution capabilities and challenges. SHIFT includes real case studies and describes a comprehensive approach that will help organizations satisfy the business demands of today and adapt to embrace the challenges of tomorrow.
Shifting Forms of Continental Colonialism: Unfinished Struggles and Tensions
by Dittmar Schorkowitz John R. Chávez Ingo W. SchröderThis book explores shifting forms of continental colonialism in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, from the early modern period to the present. It offers an interdisciplinary approach bringing together historians, anthropologists, and sociologists to contribute to a critical historical anthropology of colonialism. Though focused on the modern era, the volume illustrates that the colonial paradigm is a framework of theories and concepts that can be applied globally and deeply into the past. The chapters engage with a wide range of topics and disciplinary approaches from the theoretical to the empirical, deepening our understanding of under-researched areas of colonial studies and providing a cutting edge contribution to the study of continental and internal colonialism for all those interested in the global impact of colonialism on continents.
Shifting Perspectives in Tribal Studies: From an Anthropological Approach to Interdisciplinarity and Consilience
by Maguni Charan BeheraThis book brings together multidisciplinarity, desirability and possibility of consilience of borderline studies which are topically diverse and methodologically innovative. It includes contemporary tribal issues within anthropology and other disciplines. In addition, the chapters underline the analytical sophistication, theoretical soundness and empirical grounding in the area of emerging core perspectives in tribal studies. The volume alludes to the emergence of tribal studies as an independent academic discipline of its own rights. It offers the opportunity to consider the entire intellectual enterprise of understanding disciplinary and interdisciplinary dualism, to move beyond interdisciplinarity of the science-humanities divide and to conceptualise a core of theoretical perspectives in tribal studies. The book proves an indispensable reference point for those interested in studying tribes in general and who are engaged in the process of developing tribal studies as a discipline in particular.
Shitstorms, Lügen, Sex: Steinzeitrituale in Gruppen und Hierarchien
by Gerhard SchwarzIst es Ihnen auch schon passiert, dass Sie im Aufzug auf den Knopf für das siebte Stockwerk gedrückt hatten, aber im fünften Stockwerk ausstiegen, weil alle anderen ausstiegen? Sie fahren nur dann weiter, wenn Sie diesen unbewussten Drang überwinden und sich mithilfe Ihrer Vernunft überlegen, dass Sie eigentlich in das siebente Stockwerk wollen. Der Drang, mit den anderen zusammen auszusteigen, ist ein archaisches Muster, das einstmals in der Steinzeit den Sinn hatte (und meist bis heute noch hat), in einer Gruppe, zu der Sie immerhin vom Erdgeschoss bis zum fünften Stockwerk gehörten, ein einheitliches Verhalten herzustellen. Gruppen, die diesen Konformitätsdruck nicht entwickeln, haben geringere Erfolgschancen als solche, denen es gelingt, ihre Mitglieder „gleichzuschalten“. Sigmund Freud nannte vor 100 Jahren diesen Drang des Individuums, Gruppenverhalten nachzuahmen „unbewusst“. Die moderne Gehirnforschung gibt ihm weitgehend recht. Auch die Gruppendynamik erkennt immer mehr solcher unbewussten Verhaltensmuster, die plötzlich in Gruppen auftreten und meist alle Mitglieder der Gruppe mit einbeziehen. Eine Gruppe kann sich dann auch ganz „irrational“ verhalten und Handlungen setzen, die ihr später – wieder bei vollem Bewusstsein – leidtun. Denn Gruppen – und nicht nur sie – verhalten sich nicht immer rational. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen geht die Vernunft verloren und es greifen archaische Muster. Die Psychologie verwendet dafür das Wort „Regression“, was eigentlich „Rückfall“ bedeutet. Aber wohin fallen wir zurück?Videos per App: Laden Sie die Springer Nature More Media kostenlos herunter - Abbildungen im Buch per App mit Handy oder Tablet scannen, um Videos zu streamen.
A Shoppers’ Paradise: How the Ladies of Chicago Claimed Power and Pleasure in the New Downtown
by Emily RemusPopular culture assumes that women are born to shop and that cities invite their trade. But downtowns were not always welcoming to women. Emily Remus turns to Chicago at the turn of the last century to chronicle an unheralded revolution in women’s rights that took place not at the ballot box but in the streets and stores of the business district.
Sicherheitsmentalitäten im ländlichen Raum
by Daniela Klimke Nina Oelkers Martin K. SchweerDer Band befasst sich mit der Analyse spezifisch ländlicher Sicherheitskulturen und den damit verbundenen Formen formeller wie informeller sozialer Kontrolle. Ländliche Regionen und Kleinstädte gelten im Alltag gemeinhin als relativ kriminalitätsarm und weitestgehend sozial integriert. Vergemeinschaftungsprozessen und informellen Kontrollmechanismen werden innerhalb dieser Deutungen eine herausragende Bedeutung zugeschrieben. Zugleich lässt sich zumindest für die Bundesrepublik feststellen, dass bisher weitgehend empirische Studien zum alltäglichen Sicherheits- bzw. Unsicherheitserleben in ländlichen und kleinstädtisch geprägten Milieus fehlen. Auf Grundlage der zwischen 2012 und 2015 im BMBF-Forschungsverbund „Sicherheitsmentalitäten im ländlichen Raum“ erhobenen Daten und rückgebunden an Diskussionen um das von Daniela Klimke entwickelte Konzept der Sicherheitsmentalitäten sollen die obengenannten Defizite aufgegriffen werden.
Los siete hábitos de la gente desinformada: Cómo informarse y tomar decisiones en las redes sociales
by Marc Argemí BallbéVivimos el espejismo de creer que, como hemos consultado internet, estamos lo suficientemente informados para tomar buenas decisiones. Sin embargo, esta idea es errónea. Este libro permite identificar los hábitos que nos hacen más vulnerables a la desinformación en el entorno digital y ofrece las herramientas para decidir por nosotros mismos tanto en el terreno personal como profesional. Estar bien informado significa contar con suficientes datos para, de entre todas las decisiones posibles, poder elegir una. Sin embargo, la experiencia nos demuestra que muchas decisiones tomadas con seguridad están lejos de sustentarse en los datos, circunstancia que explica que podamos parecer al mismo tiempo unos perfectos ignorantes y muy decididos. Internet y las redes sociales han llevado esta problemática hasta el extremo. Nunca antes habíamos tenido acceso a tanta información, aunque esto no implica que seamos capaces de escoger mejor. Los algoritmos del entorno digital (donde conviven webs, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter o WhatsApp) no siempre están programados para ayudarnos a elegir de forma adecuada. Tenemos la engañosa percepción de que estamos bien informados y, por ello, decidimos correctamente. No obstante, la desinformación nos afecta en nuestra vida personal y profesional. ¿Soy víctima de este fenómeno? La respuesta, con toda probabilidad, sería afirmativa porque nos desinformamos con facilidad y de modos muy diversos. El objetivo de este libro es ayudar a identificar los hábitos que nos hacen más vulnerables: el cuñadismo, la incredulidad crédula, la indecisión crónica, la ansiedad, el confusionismo relacional, el activismo visceral y la precariedad informativa. Y, con sus herramientas prácticas para contrarrestar la desinformación, será de utilidad tanto para los expertos en redes sociales y profesionales de la gestión de cuentas en Twitter como para aquellas personas que solo visitan las páginas web de los periódicos de toda la vida.
Silk Road to Belt Road: Reinventing the Past and Shaping the Future
by Md. Nazrul IslamThis volume approaches China’s Belt and Road Initiative as a process of culturalization, one that started with the Silk Road and continued over the millennium. In mainstream literature, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been portrayed as the geo-economic vision and geo-political ambition of China’s current leaders, intended to shape the future of the world. However, this volume argues that although geo-politics and geo-economy may play their part, the BRI more importantly creates a venue for the meeting of cultures by promoting people-to-people interaction and exchange. This volume explores the journey from the Silk-Road to Belt-Road by analyzing topics ranging from history to religion, from language to culture, and from environment to health. As such, scholars, academics, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Business will find an alternative approach to the Belt and Road Initiative.
Simplify Work: Crushing Complexity to Liberate Innovation, Productivity, and Engagement
by Jesse W. NewtonIn urgent response to the epidemic of crippling complexity affecting organizations around the world, Simplify Work reveals the common sources of this virus and outlines practical steps that can be taken to liberate innovation, productivity, and engagement. Complexity is like a vine that gradually grows and expands, wreaking havoc in organizations and individual lives. Growing complexity has traditionally been met with added structures, processes, committees and systems. Consequently, organizations often become a complicated mess, clouding strategic focus, slowing innovation and breeding complacency. It is no wonder that large organizations around the world are failing at an increasing rate and employee engagement levels have never been so low. Simplify Work reveals the typical drivers of complexity and provides a practical method for simplifying work. Inside, global management consultant Jesse Newton delivers a newfound clarity on the case for simplification and the steps organizations and individuals need to take to unleash its potential. He reveals the common drivers of debilitating complexity and provides a recipe for reducing and removing those things getting in the way of peak performance. Based on the research and experiences of a recognized organization effectiveness expert, Simplify Work leaves readers inspired and equipped to create a new liberating reality in both their organization and their life.
Simulating Societal Change: Counterfactual Modelling for Social and Policy Inquiry (Computational Social Sciences)
by Peter Davis Roy Lay-YeeThis book presents a method for creating a working model of society, using data systems and simulation techniques, that can be used for testing propositions of scientific and policy nature. The model is based on the example of New Zealand, but will be applicable to other countries. It is expected that collaborators in other countries can emulate this example with their data systems for teaching and policy purposes, producing a cross-national "collaboratory". This enterprise will evolve with, and to a degree independently of, the book itself, with a supporting website as well as teaching and scientific initiatives. Readers of this text will, for the first time, have a simulation-based working model of society that can be interrogated for policy and substantive purposes. This book will appeal to researchers and professionals from various disciplines working within the social sciences, particularly on matters of demography and public policy.
Situational Privacy and Self-Disclosure: Communication Processes in Online Environments
by Philipp K. MasurUsing both a theoretical argumentation and an empirical investigation, this book rationalizes the view that in order to understand people’s privacy perceptions and behaviors, a situational perspective needs to be adopted.To this end, the book is divided into three parts. Part I advances the theory of situational privacy and self-disclosure by discussing impacts of new information and communication technologies on traditional theories of privacy and self-disclosure. Based on five basic suppositions, it describes three major processes of the theory: pre-situational privacy regulations processes, situational privacy perception and self-disclosure processes, and post-situational evaluation processes. Next, Part II presents the application of the theory to smartphone-based communication. It first analyses how people choose certain communication environments on their smartphones, how they manipulate them, and how these external factors affect self-disclosure within these environments. It then details a multi-method study conducted to test the derived assumptions and discusses the obtained results. Part III reflects on the overall implications of the theory, summarizes the major findings and lastly considers possible extensions and perspectives on future research.Intended mainly for researchers in privacy and communication studies, the book offers privacy scholars a systematic review of both classic and contemporary theories of privacy and self-disclosure. At the same time, communication scholars benefit from an additional methodological discussion of the mobile experience sampling method, which provides an invaluable approach to measuring situational communication processes.
Skimmed: Breastfeeding, Race, and Injustice
by Andrea FreemanBorn into a tenant farming family in North Carolina in 1946, Mary Louise, Mary Ann, Mary Alice, and Mary Catherine were medical miracles. Annie Mae Fultz, a Black-Cherokee woman who lost her ability to hear and speak in childhood, became the mother of America's first surviving set of identical quadruplets. They were instant celebrities. Their White doctor named them after his own family members. He sold the rights to use the sisters for marketing purposes to the highest-bidding formula company. The girls lived in poverty, while Pet Milk's profits from a previously untapped market of Black families skyrocketed. Over half a century later, baby formula is a seventy-billion-dollar industry and Black mothers have the lowest breastfeeding rates in the country. Since slavery, legal, political, and societal factors have routinely denied Black women the ability to choose how to feed their babies. In Skimmed, Andrea Freeman tells the riveting story of the Fultz quadruplets while uncovering how feeding America's youngest citizens is awash in social, legal, and cultural inequalities. This book highlights the making of a modern public health crisis, the four extraordinary girls whose stories encapsulate a nationwide injustice, and how we can fight for a healthier future.
Skin Deep: Journeys in the Divisive Science of Race
by Gavin EvansEverything you need to know about race (but were afraid to ask). MYTH: Early Europeans were white. REALITY: The first Europeans had dark skin, black, curly hair and blue eyes. MYTH: Between 50,000 and 70,000 years ago, a &‘cognitive revolution&’ led to the birth of culture in Europe. REALITY: Modern intelligence evolved tens of thousands of years earlier, leading to the birth of culture in Africa.Does racism have a rational basis in science? In Skin Deep, Gavin Evans tackles head-on the debate that has been raging on internet message boards and in academic journals. No longer limited to the fringe, race-based studies of intelligence have been discussed by thinkers such as Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson. If these studies were true, they would provide an intellectual justification for inequality and discrimination. Examining the latest research on how intelligence develops and laying out new discoveries in genetics, palaeontology, archaeology and anthropology to unearth the truth about our shared past, Skin Deep demolishes the pernicious myth that our race is our destiny and instead reveals what really makes us who we are.
