Role Theory
Author: Bruce J. BiddlePublisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483288137
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 429
Book Description
Role Theory: Expectations, Identities, and Behaviors presents the applications of role concepts for education, social work, and clinical practice. This book examines the advantages as well as the shortcomings of the role stance. Organized into nine chapters, this book begins with an overview of behaviors that are characteristics of persons within contexts and the various processes that are employed to explain and predict those behaviors. This text then examines the concepts of the role field and discovers their applications to social problems of pressing concern. Other chapters consider the empirical evidence that has been developed within the role orientation concerning social problems. This book discusses as well the behavioral comparability, behavior linkage, behavioral effects, and complex linking concepts for behaviors. The final chapter discusses how contexts may affect the behaviors of persons and how those behaviors may have subsequent functions. This book is a valuable resource for anthropologists, sociologists, and social psychologists.
Working with Walter Benjamin: Recovering a Political Philosophy
Author: Andrew BenjaminPublisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 074869160X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This book provides a highly original approach to the writings of the twentieth-century German philosopher Walter Benjamin by one of his most distinguished readers. It develops the idea of "e;working with"e; Benjamin, seeking both to read his corpus and to put it to work - to show how a reading of Benjamin can open up issues that may not themselves be immediately at stake in his texts. The defining elements in Benjamin's writings that Andrew Benjamin isolates - history, experience, translation, technical reproducibility and politics - are put to work; that is, their utility is established in engaging the works of others. The question is how utility is understood. As Andrew Benjamin argues, utility involves demonstrating the different ways in which Benjamin is a central thinker within the project of understanding the nature of modernity. This is best achieved by noting connections and points of differentiation between his work and the writings of Adorno and Heidegger. However, the more demanding project is that 'working with' Benjamin necessitates deploying the implicit assumptions within his writings as well as demanding of his formulations more than is provided by their initial presentation. What is at stake is not the application of Benjamin's thought. Rather what counts is its use. Working with Benjamin engages with the themes central to Benjamin's work with deftness, daring and critical insight while at the same time situating those themes within current academic and cultural debates.

Author: Michael LenoxPublisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503635767
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Digital transformation is much more than building a digital infrastructure to gather and process data. It is about understanding how digital technologies enable the creation of innovative services and products. It is about identifying new competitive positions and business models and thinking critically about how to both create and capture value. Strategy in the Digital Age directly engages these concerns and provides a comprehensive roadmap for planning a successful digital strategy and executing a digital transformation in organizations. Covering major topics such as big tech, data analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cryptocurrency, autonomy, cybersecurity, data privacy, and antitrust, strategy expert Michael Lenox outlines a set of novel, original frameworks to help those undertaking digital transformation at their organization devise their strategy. Readers will also come away with a greater understanding of how to navigate the human dimension of digital transformation and tackle the numerous social and policy challenges raised by digital technology. With insights from major companies such as Spotify, Facebook, and Uber, Lenox delivers a compelling volume that offers both a foundational understanding of this dynamic environment and an action plan for those seeking a path to digital strategy implementation for their organization.
Karl Barth and the Pietists
Author: Eberhard BuschPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 149829975X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Known for his acclaimed biography--Karl Barth: His Life from Letters and Autobiographical Texts--Eberhard Busch subsequently wrote Karl Barth und die Pietism, a book on Barth's relationship to Pietism. Now translated into English, this exchange illuminates and puts into perspective the development of themes found throughout Barth's theological works such as the nature of scriptural authority, hell and universalism, the relationship between believers and unbelievers, the place of our experience in salvation, the preaching of repentance, the nature of conversion, and the relationship between law and gospel. Both Barth's affinity to Pietism and his critique of the movement shed light on his interaction with the English-speaking evangelical world, whose theology was significantly shaped by the Pietist movement. This work will make a significant contribution to Barth scholarship and to the ongoing discussion of Barth's theology, especially among evangelicals and others who share in the Pietistic theological heritage.
