English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030899993 | 356 pages | pdf, epub | 9.35 MB This unparalleled collection, international and innovative in scope, analyzes the dynamic tensions between masculinity and dance. Introducing a lens of intersectionality, the book's content examines why, despite burgeoning popular and contemporary representations of a normalization of dancing masculinities, some boys don't dance and why many of those who do struggle to stay involved. Prominent themes of identity, masculinity, and intersectionality weave throughout the book's conceptual frameworks of education and schooling, cultures, and identities in dance. Incorporating empirical studies, qualitative inquiry, and reflexive accounts, Doug Risner and Beccy Watson have assembled a unique volume of original chapters from established scholars and emerging voices to inform the future direction of interdisciplinary dance scholarship and dance education research. The book's scope spans several related disciplines including gender studies, queer studies, cultural studies, performance studies, and sociology. The volume will appeal to dancers, educators, researchers, scholars, students, parents, and caregivers of boys who dance. Accessible at multiple levels, the content is relevant for undergraduate students across dance, dance education, and movement science, and graduate students forging new analysis of dance, pedagogy, gender theory, and teaching praxis.

English | 2021 | ISBN: 3961468168 , 978-3961468164 | 53 pages | True PDF | 4.26 MB This book investigates market manipulation in the volatility index VIX. The VIX is known as fear-gauge of the US stock market and its derivatives are an established hedge against negative market sentiment. Characteristically, the VIX is an index whose value is computed by a special formula based on relatively illiquid S&P 500 options. In contrast, derivatives on the VIX are heavily traded and are settled in cash once a month based on option prices determined in an auction. This short time frame makes the VIX vulnerable as manipulators can move the underlying option prices to an abnormal price level on purpose to receive an artificially high cash settlement. This book explores approaches to make the effects of manipulation measurable. For this purpose, four measures are deduced. The measures are based on the index fluctuation range, its intraday deviations from the opening value, the put/call ratio of the underlying options and their trading volume. The empirical results reveal strong indications of manipulation. The analysis is concluded by a discussion of alternative explanations of the results observed and a sketch on how to impede manipulation or change the VIX structure.
