Rethinking Third Cinema

2003 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionThis important anthology addresses established notions about Third Cinema theory, and the cinema practice of developing and postcolonial nations. The `Third Cinema` movement called for a politicized film-making practice in Africa, Asia and Latin America, one which would take on board issues of race, class, religion, and national integrity. The films which resulted from the movement, from directors such as Ousmane Sembene, Satyajit Ray and Nelson Pereira dos Santos, are among the most culturally significant, politically sophisticated and frequently studied films of the 1960s and 1970s. However, despite the contemporary popularity and critical attention enjoyed by films from Asia and Latin America in particular, Third Cinema and Third Cinema theory appears to have lost its momentum.

Rethinking Voluntary Approaches in Environmental Policy

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Voluntary approaches, such as corporate codes of conduct, have been widely advocated as alternatives to traditional approaches to environmental regulation. Yet concern remains that companies cannot be trusted to police themselves and that many of the putative advantages of self regulation, such as reduced cost and increased flexibility, have not been realized in practice. The book systematically analyzes three initiatives (environmental management systems, the Australian Greenhouse Challenge and the Australian mining industry`s Code for Environmental Management) and their contribution to public environmental policy. By moving the debate away from narrow considerations of economic efficiency towards a broader framework that accounts for the multiple goals to which environmental policy needs to be directed, this book significantly enhances our understanding of the role that voluntary approaches can play in achieving environmental policy goals. The book is required reading for all those [detailed...]

Rethinking Work and Learning: Adult and Vocational Education for Social Sustainability (Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects)

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: This volume brings together an international group of contributors to explore ways in which social sustainability can be integrated into Adult and Vocational Education (AVE) practices. While it is clear that given the rapid change of work, job-specific training for adults is clearly vital the world over, it is argued here that job-specific training needs re-orientation to include life-specific learning as well. This can come about when the learning opportunities to which citizens have access prepare them for participation in work which is economically productive and at the same time engages them in related civic activities which promote environmental and social sustainability. The re-orientation of current AVE systems can be achieved in two ways: by broadening the educational agenda to include elements of environmental science, politics and the arts, and by including more dialogic and collaborative teaching and learning styles.

Rethinking Work: Time, Space and Discourse

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: This book is an innovative reconsideration of a changing and contested domain in society. New essays from scholars at the University of Sydney are structured around the themes of time, space and discourse to highlight the value-laden and constructed nature of these categories as they are applied to the organisation of our working lives. Contributors draw from their expertise in strategic management, organisational theory, labour and business history, law, economics, industrial relations, human resource management, geography, and discourse and narrative analysis. Their stimulating chapters in Rethinking Work reflect that the study of work must itself be capable of adaptation to the profound changes reshaping this most powerful expression of human relationships and experience.

Rethinking our Centralized Monetary System: The Case for a System of Local Currencies

y.
Publisher:
Description: As we approach the 21st century, we must rethink our centralized monetary system as part of a larger reexamination of existing political economy, according to Solomon. In questioning the passive acceptance of a federal monopoly in producing money, the author challenges prevailing notions of `progress` and `economic life.` Advancing the idea of local currencies to promote a political economy based on empowerment, self-reliance, and ecological permanence, the book discusses three viable systems, all of which are possible under federal and state laws: barter, customer discounts, and local scrip not pegged to the U.S. dollar. The business and practical aspects of each of these systems is considered. This original work will be of interest to scholars, students, and policy-makers in political economy, money and banking, public finance, and public policy. [detailed...]

Rethinking the California Business Climate

y.
Publisher:
Description: During the recession of the early 1990s, thousands of Californians lost their jobs. Seven years after the recession began, employment in the Los Angeles area still had not returned to its pre-recession levels. California`s slow recovery prompted many critics to claim that the state had a bad and deteriorating business climate that would continue to cause employers and jobs to move elsewhere. The authors review the common business climate rankings and discuss several critiques of them. They then analyze some of the key factors that affect regional economic growth and examine how these factors vary across metropolitan areas and industries in California. They argue that California is too large and diverse to have a single statewide business climate andthat business climate issues should be analyzed at the industry and regional level instead, where most business decisions are made and policies can be better targeted.

Rethinking the International Monetary System

y.
Publisher:
Description: According to a recent World Bank study, the Asian crisis led to a significant rise in poverty and sharp declines in middle-class living standards in the countries most affected. Real public spending on health and education fell, with poor households experiencing the largest declines in access to these services. The impact of decreased investment in human capital will have consequences for individuals and whole societies for years to come. Because these external shocks occurred very shortly after thesecountries had liberalized their capital markets, they have engendered a growing distrust of globalization in many parts of the world. We owe it to the people of the developing countries, as well as to ourselves, to consider how institutional or policy changes could moderate such setbacks in the future. For all these reasons, this conference seemed a good time to pause and consider the implications of recent events, institutional changes, and new research for the evolution of the [detailed...]

Much of the discussion, however, has been inherited from eighteenth-century debates between poetry and painting and thus has fostered falseand limiting paradigms in which words and pictures are opposed.

Testing theory against practice, and uncovering the hidden agendas, Kamilla Elliott creates new critical models that can be applied in an effort to transform the field for future inquiry.

Rethinking the Prehistory of Japan: Language, Genes and Civilisation (Japanese Studies Series)

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: This innovative work uses new evidence to challenge previously-held views on the prehistory and origins of Japanese society and identity. The changes in society in Japan between the Jomon and Yayoi cultures were unique, going far beyond those of the so-called Neolithic Revolution in other parts of the world. Uniquely, they included bronze and iron production, as well as a new architecture with symbolic significance, a new religion and a hierarchical society with an emperor at its head. The Yayoi period has been seen as the very beginning of Japanese civilization and identity. It has usually been thought that all the Yayoi innovations came from China and Korea, but this work uses new materials from diverse fields including rice genetics, DNA and historical linguistics to show that the major elements of Yayoi civilization actually came from the south. This is an important contribution to the prehistory of Japan and of South East Asia. [detailed...]

Rethinking the Vanguard: Aesthetic and Political Positions in the Modernist Debate, 1917-1962

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: How has political revolution figured into the development of avant-garde cultural production? Is the vanguard an antiquated concept or does its influence still resonate in the 21st century? Focusing closely on the convergence of aesthetics and politics that materialized in the early part of the twentieth century, this study offers a reinterpretation of the historical avant-garde from 1917 to 1962, a turbulent period in intellectual history which marked the apex, crisis, and decline of vanguardist authority. Moving from the impact of the Bolshevik Revolution to the anti-imperialist and decolonizing movements in the Third World, to the emergence of neo-vanguardism in the wake of postmodernity, this study opens the way for understanding the transformation of vanguardist cultural paradigms from a global perspective, the implications of which also reveal its relevance and application to the contemporary period.

Rethinking the Welfare State: The Political Economy of Pension Reform

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionIn this book a distinguished group of contributors discuss the changing political economy of pension reform. They focus on those countries which have launched a significant reframing of their pension system. Each chapter provides a detailed review of recent pension reforms and offers institutional evidence of the extent to which these reforms suggest a redirection of the welfare state towards a more public-private mix of policies. The countries were selected to represent the variety of new directions which mature industrial countries as well as countries in transition have taken. The book brings to light a number of surprising developments. These include: the observation that pension systems do not conform to pure models of welfare system regimes, that a number of diverse developments have contributed to the extension of private pensions, that an emerging pattern of substituting private for public pensions can be detected but public provision still dominates in [detailed...]
