    Mexico City's Olympic Games - Citizenship and Nation Building, 1963-1968
    pdf, epub | 3.05 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B09H5DQXZX | Author: Axel El?as | Year: 2021


    Description:

    This book looks at the 1968 Summer Olympic Games as a complex nation-building project. Sports mega-events have been mostly studied as homogenous government-led strategies, but more work is needed around the diverse reception and performances. The preparation period for the Olympics in Mexico and especially the year 1968 highlight the multiplicity of voices behind these exercises. Beyond the government and associated networks, the citizenry also used this mega-event to present an idea of Mexico to the world and thus reshape citizenship and nationhood. This study takes a bottom-up approach to look at the citizenry's experiences of the 1968 Olympic Games, both the shared nationalistic values and the areas of conflict.* *

    Narrating Cultural Encounter - Representations of India by Select Enlightenment Women Writers
    pdf | 2.22 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B09FGBQM6B | Author: Arnab Chatterjee | Year: 2021


    Description:

    This book interrogates and historicises eighteenth-century British women writers' responses to India through the novel and travel writing to bring out the polyvalent space arising out of their complex negotiation with the colonial discourse.

    Though British women enjoyed their privileged racial status as the utilisers of colonial riches, they articulated their voice of dissent when they faced the politics of subordination in their own society and identified them with the marginalised status of the colonised Indians. This brings out the complicity and critique of the colonial discourse of British women writers and foregrounds their ambivalent responses to the colonial project.

    This book provides detailed textual analysis of the works of Phebe Gibbes, Elizabeth Hamilton, Lady Morgan, Jemima Kindersley and Eliza Fay through critical insights from the idea of the Enlightenment, postcolonial theory and feminist thought. It also foregrounds new perspectives to colonial discourse vis-?-vis the representation of India by locating the dialogic strain within the British narratives about India.

    Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis and Beyond - Towards a New Paradigm of the Human Being
    pdf | 2.62 MB | English | Isbn:‎ 0367151332 | Author: Juan Tubert-Oklander | Year: 2021


    Description:

    Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, and Beyond presents an important new paradigm in psychoanalysis and group analysis, presenting the individual and the group as elements of a wider whole and taking socio-political and cultural contexts into account.

    Juan Tubert-Oklander and Reyna Hern?ndez-Tubert explore the contributions of group analysis to this new perspective, which suggests a holistic conception of the respective status and nature of what the common-sense view of the world conceives as the individual and the community. Part I presents thoughts on the 'gelding' of psychoanalysis, focuses on the limitations of classical psychoanalysis, and elaborates on key topics including epistemology, inclusion and exclusion, culture, and the real. Part II considers the reincorporation of what had formerly been excluded, through the theory and practice of group analysis. Finally, Part III bridges the gap, presenting several approaches to the building of the new paradigm that is so sorely needed.
    Psychoanalysis, Group Analysis, and Beyond will be of great interest to group analysts, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists in practice and in training, as well as other professionals specializing in group work.

    Families, the State and Educational Inequality in the Singapore City-State
    pdf | 4.7 MB | English | Isbn:‎ B09FG82WSM | Author: Charleen Chiong | Year: 2021


    Description:

    Focusing on Singapore's education system from an equity perspective, Chiong's book describes the often unheard perspectives of socio-economically disadvantaged families in Singapore. The performance of Singaporean students on international education benchmarking tests has been widely recognised. Relatively less known is how socio-economically disadvantaged families negotiate Singapore's highly competitive, stratifying and meritatic system. Yet, families' perspectives can provide crucial insight in understanding how policy is 'lived' and experienced, and its effects on people's lives.

    Drawing on 72 interviews with 12 families, this book traces the development of surprisingly close, collaborative relations between the state, schools and families on Singapore's socio-economic margins. It demonstrates that in the 'strong' state of Singapore, families' dependency on schools and the state facilitates the internalisation of individual and familial responsibility for future success. However, these very processes can injure, and perpetuate inequality.

    The analysis presented in this book has relevance in other contexts, in times where advanced capitalist states face growing inequalities and challenging relationships between institutional authority and the wider populace. As socio-economic and educational inequalities widen, this book asks timely questions and provides recommendations on what a more equitable state-citizen compact might look like.

    The book will appeal to researchers and students who are interested in the fields of the sociology and politics of education, social policy, and Asian culture and society.
