Geographies of Knowledge and Power
Author: Peter Meusburger
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9401799601
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Interest in relations between knowledge, power, and space has a long tradition in a range of disciplines, but it was reinvigorated in the last two decades through critical engagement with Foucault and Gramsci. This volume focuses on relations between knowledge and power. It shows why space is fundamental in any exercise of power and explains which roles various types of knowledge play in the acquisition, support, and legitimization of power. Topics include the control and manipulation of knowledge through centers of power in historical contexts, the geopolitics of knowledge about world politics, media control in twentieth century, cartography in modern war, the power of words, the changing face of Islamic authority, and the role of Millennialism in the United States. This book offers insights from disciplines such as geography, anthropology, scientific theology, Assyriology, and communication science.

Socio-Informatics
Author: Volker Wulf
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191047872
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
The book is an exploration of the theoretical, conceptual and methodological foundations of human-centred design. Specifically, it critically examines the notion of 'practice' and argues for an understanding of the concept which emanates from engagement with design problems rather than simply from social scientific theory. The contributors to the book in their various ways all subscribe to a systematic account of how practice- oriented studies can inform design. Using the perspective of 'grounded design', it pursues a long term view of the design process, arguing for user engagement from the very earliest stages of design policy, including methods for understanding user practices to inform initial design policies up to and including processes of appropriation as technologies are embedded in contexts of use. Grounded design is a perspective which also deals with the vexed problem of appropriate generalization in design studies and the kinds of cross-comparison that can usefully be done. The book contains a number of case studies which exemplify these themes, some of which are rooted in the use of technology in organizational contexts, others of which deal with design in contexts such as care of the elderly, firefighting and multicultural education.

Adults and Children in the Roman Empire (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Thomas Wiedemann
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317749111
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
There is little evidence to enable us to reconstruct what it felt like to be a child in the Roman world. We do, however, have ample evidence about the feelings and expectations that adults had for children over the centuries between the end of the Roman republic and late antiquity. Thomas Wiedemann draws on this evidence to describe a range of attitudes towards children in the classical period, identifying three areas where greater individuality was assigned to children: through political office-holding; through education; and, for Christians, through membership of the Church in baptism. These developments in both pagan and Christian practices reflect wider social changes in the Roman world during the first four centuries of the Christian era. Of obvious value to classicists, Adults and Children in the Roman Empire, first published in 1989, is also indispensable for anthropologists, and well as those interested in ecclesiastical and social history.

Manufacture and Measurement
Author: Anna Michailidou
Publisher: de Boccard
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The Linear B tablets found at palatial sites across Greece and the Aegean islands, and archaeological discoveries of objetcs such as weights, attest to an early form of accounting and/or archiving. This book includes ten essays, plus an introduction by the editor, outlining sources of evidence for the counting measuring and recording of carft/industrial products in the prehistoric Aegean. Contributors look at evidence from the Neolithic period and at the Cretan hieroglyphic script before focusing on evidence from the Mycenaean period, including the recording of metal objects, craftsmen working in the palaces, textile recording and counting, condiments, perfume and dye plants, leather and other animal products. The papers draw heavily on the Linear B archives and less on artefacts.

The Ancient Greeks
Author: Stephanie L. Budin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1576078159
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
The ancient Greeks established the very blueprint of Western civilization—our societies, institutions, art, and culture—and thanks to remarkable new findings, we know more about them than ever, and it's all here in this up-to-date introductory volume. Ancient Greece chronicles the rise, decline, resurgence, and ultimate collapse of the Greek empire from its earliest stirrings in the Bronze Age, through the Dark Ages and Classical period, to the death of Cleopatra and the conquests by Macedon and Rome (roughly 3000 B.C.E. to 30 B.C.E.). Drawing on the latest interpretations of artifacts, texts, and other evidence, this handbook takes both newcomers and long-time Hellenophiles inside the process of discovery, revealing not only what we know about ancient Greece but how we know it and how these cultures continue to influence us. There is no more authoritative or accessible introduction to the culture that gave us the Acropolis, Iliad and Odyssey, Herodotus and Thucydides, Sophocles and Aeschylus, Plato and Aristotle, and so much more.
