Negotiating Digital Heritage Infrastructures: Setting the Scene for Participation (Participatory Memory Practices)
by Quoc-Tan TranNegotiating Digital Heritage Infrastructures examines the infrastructural qualities of museum work that influence the ability of cultural institutions to support participatory and socially inclusive missions.Drawing on data gathered in Scotland, Sweden, and Germany and taking an infrastructure studies approach, the book focuses on the socio-technical negotiations underpinning the everyday practices of museum staff. The book examines the work that is done behind the scenes, including the everyday tasks of collecting, archiving, displaying museum objects and retrieving information. Tran argues that while the technical components of infrastructure are necessary for memory-making and knowledge production, it is the social part of museum infrastructure that enables more open and decentralised modes of memory-making. The book shows how these negotiations affect the ability of museum infrastructures to accommodate and support growth and development, expanding access and establishing modes of connection to external partners and services. It illuminates the less visible practices of museums, which nevertheless directly affect their more public, outward-facing activities.Negotiating Digital Heritage Infrastructures will be of interest to academics and students who are engaged in the study of museums and heritage. It will be particularly useful to those with an interest in public participation, social inclusion, heritage management, the digitisation of collections, data aggregation, and human-centred design approaches.
Neighbor-Homes: Julia Alvarez and Edwidge Danticat Write Hispaniola and the Diaspora
by Megan Jeanette MyersNeighbor-Homes: Julia Alvarez and Edwidge Danticat Write Hispaniola and the Diaspora analyzes the work of two of the most acclaimed contemporary American and Caribbean authors for the first time in a single book. Extending beyond scholarly approaches to home as a theoretical construct, Neighbor-Homes considers how Alvarez and Danticat inaugurate multiple spaces of belonging for their off- and on-island fictional characters, for their diverse community of readers, and for themselves.Revealing a more complex and complete understanding of these Hispaniola-rooted authors, the project places Alvarez and Danticat into conversation at a time when the construction of a border wall and racist immigration laws confirm increasing anti-Haitian sentiment in the Dominican Republic. Neighbor-Homes incorporates correspondence between the two writers to extrapolate diverse narrative representations of Hispaniola and to highlight various themes central to their work and social justice platforms including family relationships, community building, neighbor aesthetics, statelessness, and border solidarity.Neighbor-Homes will help interdisciplinary audiences read Danticat and Alvarez with a more critical eye so that they can more adeptly and profoundly understand Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and their respective diasporas. This important study is an essential read for students and scholars of literature and social justice, cultural studies, history, and politics, as well as Caribbean, Latinx, and African diaspora literatures.
Neighbourly Relationships in Early Modern Drama: Staged Communities (Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture)
by Iman SheehaThe book offers the first sustained examination of neighbourly relationships in early modern English drama, situating the close analyses of the selected plays within contemporary prescriptive literature (such as sermons and conduct books), letters, diaries, pamphlets, ballads, wills, proverbs, as well as the lived realities of early modern neighbourhoods as glimpsed in the historical and legal archives. The originality of the book lies in its topic, in the plays chosen for analysis, including Gammer Gurton’s Needle, written in the 1550s and believed to be the first printed vernacular English comedy, and in the revisionist close readings on offer. The plays span the period between 1550s and 1620s, belong to different genres, and were aimed at different audiences and written for different kinds of playhouses, allowing for conclusions to be drawn about the way genre shapes the treatment of neighbourly relationships, as well as revealing continuities and changes in this treatment over the period under study.
Nepal’s Federalism and the Pursuit of Deliberative Democracy (Routledge Studies in South Asian Politics)
by Vishnu Kumari TandonThis book identifies the factors that either encourage or discourage participation and deliberation, thereby demonstrating the potential and reality of deliberative democracy in Nepal at the local level.Focusing on the local level planning process in two municipalities, Buddhabhumi and Dhanushadham, the book examines whether decentralized elements introduced by federalism encourage participation and deliberation or whether they continue to remain a challenge. Throughout this exploration, the author explores how the debate between “common good” and “self-interest” unfolds within the context of deliberative democracy in Nepal. A blend of empirical and theoretical investigation, this book addresses the concept of common good and self-interest in deliberative democracy in the context of unequal societies in South Asia.A pioneering contribution on Nepal, this book will be of interest to researchers studying political science, federalism, participatory democracy, deliberative democracy, and local governance in Nepal and South Asia.

Networks of Belonging: Refugee and Migrant Inclusion in Australia, and Digital Communication (Digital Diaspora Series)
by Estelle BoyleNetworks of Belonging examines how digitally networked communication technologies create spaces of belonging for people of refugee and migrant backgrounds in resettlement contexts, focusing on Australia.The internet has become a primary facilitator for social connection, transforming how displaced and mobile people maintain relationships across distance. For communities facing significant barriers to connection, such as globally dispersed social networks and often the inability to return to their place of origin, digital technologies can offer vital pathways to belonging and social inclusion in new environments. The book begins by considering the history of refugee and migrant inclusion in Australia and the historical practice of migrant letter-writing, as a critical analogue reference point to today’s digital ubiquity. By investigating how communication technologies enable access to social connection, particularly among those navigating resettlement, the research offers lived perspectives on the evolving nature of digital sociality and its importance for refugee and migrant communities. Three key dyadic relationships of interstitiality frame the analysis: Inclusion-exclusion, digital-physical, and local-global. This approach highlights the nuances of situated lives and personal narratives gathered through qualitative interviews and photo-elicitation with people of refugee and migrant backgrounds in Melbourne, Australia, while advocating for a relational understanding of social inclusion, exclusion, and belonging; digital and physical sociality; and a local and global sense of place. This book will be of value to students and researchers across multiple fields, including media and communications, refugee and migration studies, social inclusion, multiculturalism and belonging, and digital communication.
Neubau Atmospheres: East German Cultural Remediations of Modernist Architecture
by Stephan EhrigThe artistic potential modern, urban housing (“Neubau”) offered to writers and directors in East Germany from the 1960s to 1980s remains underexplored. Neubau Atmospheres seeks to bridge that gap by providing an incisive analysis of East German cinematic, literary, and architectural case studies, highlighting how the modernist housing of the GDR provided a potent vehicle for mediating the emotional and social experience of its denizens. Considering how these cinematic and literary representations focalized ideas of class, gender, and age, author Stephan Ehrig makes a compelling case for viewing this engagement with the urban environment as a cultural genre in its own right.

Neurocognitive Foundations of Mind (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Gualtiero PiccininiThis volume provides a cohesive and comprehensive case that cognitive neuroscience is maturing into an integrated, interdisciplinary science that is transforming our understanding of the mind.The rise of cognitive neuroscience has prompted a rethinking of levels, computation, representation, psychological explanation, and the relation between psychology and neuroscience. Despite these advances, many philosophers and scientists of the mind continue to write as though cognitive neuroscience didn’t exist and psychology remains autonomous from neuroscience or, perhaps, they maintain that cognitive neuroscience has not deepened our understanding of the mind. The chapters in this volume showcase important ways in which cognitive neuroscience makes a profound difference to our understanding of the mind. The contributors address a wide range of topics, including explanation, computation, representation, inference, emotion, language, intention, and thought. Together, they demonstrate the ways in which cognitive neuroscience supersedes traditional cognitive science and supports a unified, integrated, multilevel, mechanistic, neurocomputational account of the mind.Neurocognitive Foundations of Mind is essential reading for scholars and advanced students interested in the foundations of the philosophy of mind and the mind sciences.
Neurodecolonisation in the Classroom: Roxana Ng and Qigong as Embodied Pedagogy (Routledge Research in Decolonizing Education)
by Remy Y.S. LowThis book extends on the scholarship on decolonising higher education by focusing on classroom pedagogies that can transform students’ embodied affects and habits as conditioned by coloniality.It does so by offering a historical case study of how one exemplary educator – Canadian activist and scholar Roxana Chu-Yee Ng (1951–2013) – drew on traditional Chinese medicine philosophy and Qigong practice to offer an embodied pedagogy that had profound effects on many of her students.This book brings together scholarship from critical education, contemplative pedagogy, the neuroscience of stress, mind–body medicine, and embodied cognition to make the case for the importance of embodied pedagogies in any project for decolonising higher education. An innovative contribution to embodiment and decolonial studies, this book will be of great interest to researchers and postgraduate students exploring interdisciplinary methods.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice for Speech and Language Therapists: Supporting Curiosity, Compassion and Conversation
by Ruth JonesAre you a speech and language therapist (SLT) working independently, within a speech and language therapy team, or in training? Do you, or might you work with autistic or other neurodivergent people? This book will help you understand the changing narrative around how we support neurodivergent individuals, how to sit with complex thoughts and feelings you may have, and how to grow your capacity to unlearn, adapt and shift your values and practice.This essential guide considers what neurodiversity is and what it means to practice in a neurodiversity-affirming way, considering why we should be doing so and, importantly, how to do it. The book moves through the context of neurodiversity in recent times and considers key historical approaches within speech and language therapy. Chapters offer space for reflective practice based on what we know now, for both individual reflection and with colleagues as part of a wider team, before introducing practical strategies to challenge and change how we work with neurodivergent individuals. Throughout, the voices of autistic and ADHD SLTs are included and amplified, sharing their lived experiences and perspectives to further support teams to develop neurodiversity-informed practice.This book offers a safe and supportive space to explore a topic that can be uncomfortable and scary but must be delved into to provide neurodivergent people with access to therapists with knowledge, skills, and advocacy approaches to best meet their needs. It will be crucial reading for all practising and training speech and language therapists.
Neuroscience and Society: The Interface of Neuroscience and the Social Sciences (Frontiers in Neuroscience)
by Sukumar Vijayaraghavan Gidon FelsenAdvances in neuroscience research are rapidly redefining what it means to be human. The absence of the brain/mind dichotomy has, in turn, removed the separation between our brain biology and our sociocultural experiences, raising questions for social sciences to address. How responsible are we, as individuals, for our actions? Do we have free will? Is it ethical for us to peer into others’ brains? How are our collective social cultural norms influenced by our brain function? At the same time, neuroscientists need to develop better intuition about the ethical, legal, and social implications of their research. Close collaboration between neuroscience and social sciences is the best way forward.This book acts as an introduction to these and other issues that lie at the interface of neuroscience and social sciences, using the physiological underpinnings of our decision-making processes as a framework. Examples of topics addressed here are: Neuroscience and economics Neuroscience and law Neuroscience and ethics Neuroscience and mental health Neuroscience of religion and humour The book is intended for students of neuroscience and social sciences, as well as readers generally interested in the human condition. It is hoped that the book will stimulate cross-disciplinary thinking and inspire a new generation of thinkers who are willing to look at both social sciences and neuroscience research with a different lens. Such bridge builders will be the pioneers of the next level of interrogation at this emerging interface.
Neuroscience and the Death Drive: The Nature of Symptoms, from Formulation to Treatment (The Routledge Neuropsychoanalysis Series)
by Adrian PerkelIn this book, Adrian Perkel seeks to expand upon Freud’s theory of the death drive by locating it within modern neuroscience, arguing for the centrality of the aggressive drive in the formation of mind, and the genesis of symptoms and psychopathology. Neuroscience and the Death Drive reformulates the function of defence mechanisms as they link to the aggressive drive and their role in the binding of free energy. Filling an important gap in both formulation and treatment, this book completes Freud’s self-confessed incomplete theory of aggression through the lens of modern psychoanalysis and neuroscience, updating these concepts with current scientific insights, and introduces a refreshed view on psychotherapeutic treatment implications based on these developments. Perkel explores the treatment of patients experiencing eating disorders, anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders and sexual dysfunction. This invigorating and approachable book will be of interest to all psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychotherapists and counsellors, and will help readers reach new understandings of this key theory of the mind.
