Free Download Lars Meier, "Working Class Experiences of Social Inequalities in (Post-) Industrial Landscapes " English | ISBN: 1138312177 | 2021 | 176 pages | PDF | 7 MB Based on qualitative research among industrial workers in a region that has undergone deindustrialisation and transformation to a service-based economy, this book examines the loss of status among former manual labourers. Focus lies on their emotional experiences, nostalgic memories, hauntings from the past and attachments to their former places of work, to transformed neighbourhoods, as well as to public space. Against this background the book explores the continued importance of class as workers attempt to manage the declining recognition of their skills and a loss of power in an "established-outsider figuration". A study of the transformation of everyday life and social positions wrought by changes in the social structure, in urban landscapes and in the "structures of feeling", this examination of the dynamic of social identity will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology and geography with interests in post-industrial societies, social inequality, class and social identity.  Free Download Evelyn Tsz Yan Chan, "Work, Inheritance, and Deserts in Joseph Conrad's Fiction" English | ISBN: 9811925836 | 2022 | 167 pages | EPUB | 496 KB This book focuses on the complex relationships between inheritance, work, and desert in literature. It shows how, from its manifestation in the trope of material inheritance and legacy in Victorian fiction, "inheritance" gradually took on additional, more modern meanings in Joseph Conrad's fiction on work and self-making. In effect, the emphasis on inheritance as referring to social rank and wealth acquired through birth shifted to a focus on talent, ability, and merit, often expressed through work.  Free Download P-O Börnfelt, "Work Organisation in Practice: From Taylorism to Sustainable Work Organisations" English | ISBN: 3031216660 | 2023 | 194 pages | EPUB | 561 KB This textbook provides an overview of organisation models used in practice from over a century ago to the present day. It outlines the effects these models have on efficiency, learning, innovation and workers' health and offers critical reflections for students. Some of the models covered are Taylorism, bureaucracy, the socio-technical school, process organisation such as lean production, learning organisations, knowledge management, project organising including agile, platform economy, professional organisations, new public management and sustainable organisations.  Free Download Giselle de Nie, "Word, Image and Experience: Dynamics of Miracle and Self-Perception in Sixth-Century Gaul " English | ISBN: 1138375551 | 2019 | 390 pages | EPUB | 669 KB Focusing on the works of bishop Gregory of Tours (539-594) and the poet-hagiographer Venantius Fortunatus (540-c.604), in later life bishop of Poitiers, Dr de Nie gives in these innovative studies a new understanding of the miracle stories around which much of their writing revolves, but whose bizarre dynamics appear to defy sense, which has often resulted in their dismissal as useless to the historian. These authors' perceptions of miracles - and their renderings of the human self-awareness through which miracles are perceived and happen - are analysed as attempts, mostly rooted in models from the Bible, to adjust the early Christian tradition so as to make sense of, and protect themselves in, the highly insecure environment of 6th-century Frankish Gaul. Drawing on modern anthropological and psychological studies, notably in the area of spiritual healing practices, as well as on philosophical and theological reflections about verbal and mental imagery, she demonstrates how these can be used to throw fresh light on late antique society and its spirituality, exploring views of mind, affectivity, body, sensory phenomena, symbols, and the perception of women as well as of the qualities of images, verbal language and texts. The volume includes five essays not previously published in English.

Free Download Jaqueline Ogega, "Women, Religion, and Peace-Building: Gusii and Maasai Women of Faith in Kenya " English | ISBN: 3030897265 | 2022 | 130 pages | EPUB | 7 MB This book explores the peacebuilding ideas and experiences of Maasai and Gusii women of faith in Kenya. Women of faith across the world have long demonstrated their leadership in peacebuilding. They have achieved this despite their underrepresentation in formal peacebuilding systems and the persistent lack of consideration for their critical contributions, and in the face of insecurity and violence against their very bodies. Their efforts include daily practices of sharing resources, building social cohesion, promoting human relations, and interlinking psychological, social, political, and spiritual encounters. This book provides a gender-responsive peacebuilding framework that leverages the intersectionality of women's diverse identities and roles as they navigate both secular and religious spaces for peace. The book will appeal to researchers and teachers as well as practitioners and activists.  Free Download Molly Manyonganise, "Women, Religion and Leadership in Zimbabwe, Volume 1: An Ecofeminist Perspective " English | ISBN: 3031245784 | 2023 | 204 pages | EPUB | 955 KB Zimbabwe has invested in women's emancipation and leadership while articulating a strong Pan-Africanist ideology, providing a valuable entry point into understanding the dynamics relating to women's leadership in Africa. It is also characterised by radical religious pluralism, thereby facilitating an appreciation of the impact of religion on women's leadership in Africa more generally.  Free Download Bozena C. Welborne, "Women, Money, and Political Participation in the Middle East" English | ISBN: 3031048768 | 2022 | 190 pages | EPUB | 908 KB This book examines women, money, and political participation in the Middle East and North Africa focusing on women's capacity to engage local political systems. In particular, it considers whether and how this engagement is facilitated through specific types of financial flows from abroad. Arab countries are well-known rentier states, and so a prime destination for foreign aid, worker remittances, and oil-related investment. Alongside other factors these external monies have elicited dramatic shifts in gender-related social norms and expectations both from the state and the domestic population, affording certain women the opportunity to enter the political arena, while leaving others behind. The research presented here expands the discussion of women in rentier political economy and highlights their roles as participants and agents within regional templates for economic development.  Free Download Susan Liddy, "Women, Ageing and the Screen Industries: Falling off a Cliff?" English | ISBN: 3031183843 | 2023 | 261 pages | EPUB | 5 MB This book explores the challenges facing women from their mid-forties as they attempt to build/maintain careers in the screen industries. Essays are concerned with the intersection of gender and age on screen and behind the camera and how that can create a 'double jeopardy'.  Free Download Myfan Jordan, "Women's Work in the Pandemic Economy: The Unbearable Hazard of Hierarchy" English | ISBN: 3031401530 | 2023 | 183 pages | EPUB | 7 MB This book explores two unique studies of women's economic behaviour during Australia's COVID-19 crisis. The first describes the care 'frontline' in the feminised labor sectors of healthcare and education, identifying extreme workload pressures, deteriorating conditions, and a shockingly high incidence of workplace bullying: including women targeting other women workers. The author argues workplace cultures are almost inevitable in Australia's advanced neoliberal economy, where a patri-colonial legacy continues to devalue and under-resource women's work. |
