From Object to Performance: The Beginnings of Israeli Performance Art (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies)
by Dror HarariFrom Object to Performance identifies, analyses, and critically contemplates the advent of a “performance mentality” and the gradual maturation of a “performative turn” in Israeli art.Manifested in the transition from object-oriented art to performance-based art, this cultural moment reflected both the exposure and responsiveness of young Israeli artists to experimental currents in North American and Western European art and these artists’ need to respond to acute social and political conditions, questioning Israeli national myths and collectivist ideals. From Object to Performance offers the first comprehensive exploration of the origins of action and performance art in Israel, contributes an important component to unravelling the global enigma of performance art histories, and considers the historiographic challenges encountered when studying the emergence and early years of performance-based practices. This book will appeal to students and scholars of performance studies, art history, cultural studies, and Israel studies, as well as to curators of contemporary art and performance, and artists. The book should also be of interest to the growing number of theater and art historians who research the beginnings and development of action and performance art.
Exophony: Voyages Outside the Mother Tongue
by Yoko Tawada'Tawada's strange, exquisite book toys with ideas of language, identity and what it means to own someone else's story or one's own' The New Yorker on Tawada's Memoirs of a Polar BearAre you formed by your mother tongue?How might the world unfold if you stepped outside of its rhythms?In this playful and daring interrogation of language, the globally acclaimed Yoko Tawada reveals the poetics, politics and potential of existing outside one's mother tongue. From Senegalese writers discarding colonial-enforced French to the increasing use of loan words in her native Japanese, Tawada deconstructs the ways in which the world shapes and is shaped by languages: their hidden systems of power, their sweeping histories and, ultimately, the people who claim, reject, adapt or romanticise them.Exophony is an invitation to revel in the possibilities that emerge when we dare to seek beyond the familiar - and a sharp, incisive series of essays in which Tawada's erudite wit and multidimensional curiosity sing.

ALISON ESPACH, author of The Wedding People'A wry meditation on grief, healing, and reclaiming one's identity.' TIME Magazine'A stand-out and must-read debut... Every paragraph is perfect' WEIKE WANG, author of Joan Is OkayA man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman expects a lovely night filled with endless plates of samosas. Instead, she finds out her husband is having an affair with a woman named Maggie.A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn't just heartbreak-it's cancer. She decides to call the tumor Maggie.Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumor), getting acquainted with her body's new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a "Guide to My Husband: A User's Manual" for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband's whims and quirks. She turns her children's bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture-and to maybe save herself in the process.In the style of Jenny Offill and the tradition of Nora Ephron's hilarious and devastating writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is a master class in transforming personal tragedy into a form of defiant comedy.

Core Concepts in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice: Volume III
by Kai Ambos Julian Roberts Thomas Weigend Alexander Heinze Anthony DuffAttempts at trans-jurisdictional debate and agreement are often beset by mutual misunderstandings. And while English is the new lingua franca in international and comparative criminal law, there are many ambiguities and uncertainties with regard to foundational criminal law and justice concepts. Professionals and academics engaged in collaborative comparative criminal law projects often do not understand each other, using the same terms with different meanings or different terms meaning the same thing. However, there exists greater similarity among diverse systems of criminal law and justice than is commonly realised. This third volume of Core Concepts in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice explores the principles and concepts that underpin the different domestic systems and rules. It will focus on the Germanic and several principal Anglo-American jurisdictions, which are employed as examples of the wider common law-civil law divide.

Spinning the World: The Public Relations Industry and American Foreign Relations (Cambridge Studies in US Foreign Relations)
by Andrew JohnstoneSpinning the World is the first book to examine the public relations industry's hidden hand of influence on American foreign relations. By working with groups of American citizens, domestic and overseas businesses, and US and foreign governments, PR firms influenced foreign policy debates and shaped how Americans thought about their place in the world in the twentieth century. Since World War I, the relationship between the public relations industry and American foreign relations has been complex and controversial. The century saw recurring debates and investigations into PR's role in creating propaganda, as fears grew that PR might be used to undermine American democracy. Convincing the American people to buy products as consumers was one thing. Persuading them to think differently about the nation's place in the world as citizens was something else altogether. In this book, Andrew Johnstone shows how business interests helped shape the broader national interest, for better or worse.

Literary and Cultural Responses to Mnemonic Landscapes: Spaces in Transit
by Lourdes López-Ropero Marzena Sokołowska-ParyżThis book offers a profound exploration of "spaces in transit," a concept that bridges urban spaces, natural environments, and the archival and architectural echoes of the past with their representations in literature, art, and commemorative practices. Through 14 meticulously crafted essays, this volume delves into the intricate interplay between spatial and cultural memory, framed by theories of geocriticism, feminism, race, postcolonialism, and more. Key concepts such as "deep spaces," "implicative spaces," and "landmark poetic spaces" are introduced, inviting readers to consider the fluidity and mutability of memory-laden sites. The essays critically examine how these spaces are continually reinterpreted and renegotiated, challenging ideologically rigid narratives. The volume is organized into three thematic parts: "Historyscapes," "Artscapes," and "Mythic Urbanscapes and Naturescapes," each offering unique insights into the mnemonic appropriations of physical and literary spaces. This collection is essential for scholars and students in urban studies, environmental studies, memory, and literary studies, providing a comprehensive study of contemporary cultural and theoretical trends. It invites readers to rethink the sedentary-nomadic continuum of memory and space, offering a fresh perspective on the dynamic nature of cultural and collective memory.

Successful Relational Contracting: Preparing for Business-to-Business Collaboration
by Bonnie Keith Sibrecht DienderThis book is a practical guide for organizations ready to develop and implement relational contracts and want to prepare thoroughly to ensure a successful journey. While many resources support relational contracting, few address the red flags to avoid along the way. This book fills that gap by identifying potential challenges and providing actionable guidance to address them. Relational contracts are beneficial across industries, particularly in scenarios with untapped value and innovation potential. The book begins by explaining relational contracting and introduces three relational contract models. It then outlines four key phases of relational contract development, highlighting common challenges, their symptoms, root causes, and ways to identify and solve them early. Each phase is illustrated with diverse case studies that demonstrate the consequences of overlooked issues and how they were resolved. These case studies include red, yellow, and green flags, each serving as critical signals to guide teams and ensure smooth progress. Readers are encouraged to engage actively by solving test cases in each phase, with feedback provided on solution impacts. Additionally, the book offers practical tools to support preparation and management throughout the relational contracting process. Whether addressing direct or indirect business needs, this book equips readers with the insights and tools necessary to unlock the full potential of relational contracts.
Soziale Arbeit und Neoliberalismus heute: schwarz auf weiß
by Mechthild SeitheDas Buch zeigt schwarz auf weiß: Zwischen dem professionellen, humanistisch orientierten Konzept Soziale Arbeit und den neoliberalen Vorstellungen für eine Soziale Arbeit im Rahmen des aktivierenden Staates bestehen gravierende Unterschiede. Der Text befasst sich ausführlich mit den daraus insbesondere für die Praxis folgenden Konsequenzen. Im Rahmen des Studiums der Sozialen Arbeit wird nach wie vor das sich sozialpädagogisch verstehende Konzept Sozialer Arbeit als geltendes Grundkonzept gelehrt. Die unvermeidbaren betriebswirtschaftliche Verfahren werden vorgestellt, aber es findet so gut wie keine Auseinandersetzung mit den wissenschaftstheoretischen und ideologischen Unterschieden der beiden Konzepte statt. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass die neoliberale Neue Steuerung und das Konzept des aktivierenden Staates in Theorie und Praxis nicht mehr wegzudenken sind, stellt sich die Frage nach der Vereinbarkeit der beiden Ansätze in aller Dringlichkeit. Schließt die Profession davor die Augen, dass sie auf diese Weise ihre zentralen Inhalte und Perspektiven einbüßt? Was müsste sich innerhalb von Disziplin und Praxis bewegen, damit dieser Prozess gestoppt werden kann? Gibt es Optionen für eine Selbstermächtigung der Profession? Wie sieht ein widerständiger Einsatz zur Erhaltung einer humanistisch orientierten, fachlich gesteuerten und politisch engagierten Sozialen Arbeit aus? Das Buch geht diesen Fragen nach und zeigt konkrete Lösungsstrategien auf.
Bulk-Driven Circuit Techniques for CMOS FDSOI Processes: From Circuit Concept to Implementations
by Friedel GerfersIn the contemporary technology landscape dominated by digital-centric systems and applications, the significance of analog front-end signal processing remains indispensable. The precision and performance of critical analog, mixed-signal or mm-wave components such as low-noise amplifiers, equalizers, and data converters are fundamentally determined by technological parameters, such as transconductance, DC gain, device matching, linearity, and timing accuracy, among others. Enhancing these parameters through intrinsic design improvements presents a significant challenge and becomes infeasible beyond certain limits with state-of-the-art circuit design techniques. As the performance of CMOS transistors is fundamentally constrained, foreground or background calibration schemes are commonly employed to mitigate the limitations of MOS devices. However, these constraints can be effectively addressed through the implementation of active and passive bulk-driven circuits enabled by silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technologies. Fully-Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS technologies offer superior transistor characteristics compared to standard bulk CMOS technology, providing enhanced electrical performance, improved power efficiency, and better scalability. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of FD-SOI CMOS technology, presenting key innovations in design methodologies and circuit implementations adopting bulk-biasing techniques across analog, digital, mixed-signal, and mmWave circuits and systems. It addresses critical transistor limitations, including finite transistor gain, offset, mismatch, noise and linearity, among others. The authors provide detailed technical insights, mathematical modelling, design approaches and circuit realizations covering circuit advances using both static and dynamic transistor body-biasing techniques. Emphasis is placed on overcoming state-of-the-art circuit limitations such as finite DC gain, bandwidth, matching/accuracy and power efficiency. These performance metrics are rigorously investigated through mathematical modelling, validated through simulation and experimentally demonstrated using both dynamic and static body-biasing architectures.
