Maritime Mobilities in Anglophone Literature and Culture

Maritime Mobilities in Anglophone Literature and Culture by Alexandra Ganser, Charne Lavery
English | PDF EPUB | 2023 | 262 Pages | ISBN : 3030912744 | 7.7 MB

This edited collection explores various aspects of how oceanic im/ mobilities have been framed and articulated in the literary and cultural imagination. It covers the entanglements of maritime mobility and immobility as they are articulated and problematized in selected literature and cultural forms from the early modern period to the present. In particular, it brings cultural mobility studies into conversation with the maritime and oceanic humanities. The contributors examine the interface between the traditional Eurocentric imagination of the sea as romantic and metaphorical, and the materiality of the sea as a deathbed for racialized and illegalized humans as well as non-human populations.

Local Governance of Peatland Restoration in Riau, Indonesia: A Transdisciplinary Analysis

Local Governance of Peatland Restoration in Riau, Indonesia: A Transdisciplinary Analysis by Masaaki Okamoto, Takamasa Osawa, Wahyu Prasetyawan, Akhwan Binawan
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 337 Pages | ISBN : 9819909015 | 44.7 MB

This book is one in a series of four volumes introducing peatland conservation and restoration in Indonesia. It focuses on local governance, in particular on regional and local perspectives in Riau, the most peat-destructed province of Indonesia. The book fills a vital gap in the existing literature that overlooks social science and humanities perspectives. Written by authors from different disciplines and backgrounds (including scholars and NGO activists), the approaches to the topic are various and unique, including analysis of GPS logs, social media, geospatial assessments, online interviews (conducted due to the Covid-19 pandemic), and more conventional questionnaires and surveys of community members. The chapters cover an interdisciplinary understanding of peatland destruction and broadly offer insights into environmental governance. While presenting combined studies of established fieldwork methodologies and contemporary technology such as drones and geospatial information, the book also explores the potential of long-distance research with rural communities through online facilitation, which was brought about by Covid-19, but that may have long­term implications.

Animals in Detective Fiction

Animals in Detective Fiction by Ruth Hawthorn, John Miller
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 311 Pages | ISBN : 3031092406 | 6.4 MB

This book explores the vast array of animals that populate detective fiction. If the genre begins, as is widely supposed, with Edgar Allan Poe’s “Murders in the Rue Morgue” (1841), then detective fiction’s very first culprit is an animal. Animals, moreover, consistently appear as victims, clues, and companions, while the abstract conception of animality is closely tied to the idea of criminality. Although it is often described as an essentially conservative form, detective fiction can unsettle the binary of human and animal to intersect with developing concerns in animal studies: animal agency, the ethical complexities of human/animal interaction, the politics and literary aesthetics of violence, and animal metaphor.

Ecological Stylistics

Ecological Stylistics: Ecostylistic Approaches to Discourses of Nature, the Environment and Sustainability by Daniela Francesca Virdis
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 260 Pages | ISBN : 3031106571 | 8.9 MB

“This book introduces a new dimension into the study of language and ecology. Instead of criticizing the use of language about the ‘environment’, as is done in Ecolinguistics, Virdis’s book on Ecostylistics shows the positive side of language about Nature. The way the author displays how ‘beneficial discourse’ (including beneficial metaphor) describes Nature is fascinating. Her definition and evaluation of five ‘marker words’ by using five relevant texts is an outstanding feature of the book.”

Persuasion durch räumliche Präsenz: Eine Systematisierung und empirische Prüfung der persuasiven Mechanismen by Priska Breves
Deutsch | PDF | 2021 | 280 Pages | ISBN : 3658336153 | 2.8 MB

Die persuasive Wirksamkeit immersiver Botschaften wurde schon mehrfach empirisch nachgewiesen. Die räumliche Präsenz wurde dabei als Mediator der Effekte identifiziert – wie genau dieser Persuasionsmechanismus allerdings abläuft, ist bisher ungeklärt. Daher wird die bisherige Forschung rund um die Wahrnehmung der räumlichen Präsenz in diesem Buch aufgearbeitet und systematisiert.
