Set in different national contexts (Brazil, Bulgaria, France,
Germany, Laos, Norway, Thailand) and in different social science
disciplines, the chapters of this volume aim at questioning
anti-trafficking policies and their practical impact on sex work
regulation. Many actors, from media to researchers, from nonprofit
organizations to law enforcement agencies, from "experts" to
"reality tourists", contribute to produce knowledge on trafficking
and sexual exploitation and thus to institutionalize it as a
category of thought and action; by naming and framing perpetrators
and victims, they make trafficking "come true" as a public problem.
The book pays particular attention to the way the international
expertise produced by these different actors and institutions on
sexual exploitation and sex work impacts local control practices,
especially with regard to law enforcement. The fight against
trafficking as it gets institutionalized and put into practice then
appears as a way to reaffirm a gendered and racialized public
order. Building analytical bridges between different national
contexts and relying on contextualized fieldwork in different
countries, the book is of great interest for academics as well as
for practitioners and/or activists working on sex and gender issues
and migration policies. Also, it resonates with a broader
literature on the construction of public problems in sociology and
political science.

In the Global South, indigenous people have been continuously
subjected to top-down, and often violent, processes of
post-colonial state and nation building. This book examines the
development dilemmas of the indigenous people (adivasis) of the
Indian state of Kerala. It explores the different facets of change
in their lives and livelihoods in the context of modernisation
under different political regimes. As part of the Indian Union,
Kerala followed a development approach in tune with the Government
of India with regard to indigenous communities. However, within the
framework of India's quasi-federal polity, the state of Kerala has
been tracing a development path of its own, which has come to be
known as the 'Kerala model of development'. Adopting a historical
political economic approach, the book locates the adivasi
communities in the larger contextual shifts from late colonialism
through the post-independence years, and critically analyses the
Kerala model of development with particular reference to the
adivasis' changing political status and rights to land. It pays
special attention to policy dynamics in the neoliberal phase, and
the actual practices of decentralisation as a way of including the
socially excluded and marginalised. Offering a theoretical
elaboration of the interaction between class and indigeneity based
on intensive fieldwork in Kerala, the book addresses adivasi
development in relation to the general development experience of
Kerala, and goes on to relate this particular study to the global
context of indigenous people's struggles. It will be of interest to
those working in the fields of South Asian Development, Political
Economy and South Asian Politics.
For too long, organizational scientists have not adequately
attended to the problems of unethical behavior in organizations.
This collection of essays provides the stimulus needed to help move
the study of unethical behavior to center stage in the
organizational sciences. It does so by posing provocative questions
that not only entail a concern for understanding unethical behavior
but that also strike at the very core of how and why organizations
function as they do. The book addresses: * the asymmetries in power
and influence created by hierarchies that give rise to ethical
problems; * the tactics that might reduce the effectiveness of
improper influence attempts; and * how the inappropriate use of
influence diffuses, for example, through a market.
The area of King's Cross has witnessed a dramatic transformation,
with a new city rising above, alongside and within some of the
country's most compelling railway heritage. The former Railway
Lands remain extraordinarily rich in historical features, yet those
who now reside, work, study, dine or play in this new world will
find their origins hard to decipher. The Great Northern Railway,
with its stations, goods depots, locomotive sheds, coal yards and
stables at King's Cross, served the needs of the ever-growing
metropolis, experiencing growth in the nineteenth century,
competition for trade, weakness between the wars, and the high age
of steam. After the demise of steam, the decaying industrial
landscape was colonised by a variety of new enterprises, invaded by
clubbers, contested by developers and the community, and captured
by artists and photographers. In The King's Cross Story Peter
Darley explores and illuminates the fascinating history of the
Railway Lands over the last 200 years, tracing the evolution of its
historical features through time and space.

Examining digital imaging techniques across a wide range of media, including film, music, video, computer games, theme parks and simulation rides, Visual Digital Culture explores the relationship between evolving digital technologies and existing media, and considers the effect of these new image forms on the experience of visual culture.
This volume is a collection of information about the concerns and
problems of the beginning social scientist in the academic and
nonacademic world. Covering topics from the senior graduate
student's job search to the assistant professor's research and
teaching experiences, this book serves as an official introduction
to the "rules of the academic game".
To mark one year from opening the new station, Art on the
Underground launch a new publication on the work of Alexandre da
Cunha at Battersea Power Station in London. Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset
is a monumental kinetic sculpture for the Underground station.
Stretching 95m and 60m in length, the artwork incorporates two
friezes that face each other along the length of the ticket hall.
The artwork was inspired by the former control room at Battersea
Power Station and its system of vertical bars that regulated the
production and output of electricity into the city. Combining this
with resonances of the daily flow of dawn to dusk, Sunset, Sunrise,
Sunset refers to cycles, routine, the everyday and eternity.
Designed by Fraser Muggeridge Studio, the book features essays from
art historian Dr Lisa Blackmore exploring the artist's practice, a
geographical and social history of the local area from architecture
and design writer Gillian Darley, an essay on commissioning the
work by Eleanor Pinfield and a creative prose work from
experimental writer Rebecca Watson.
Digital entertainment, from video games to simulation rides, is now a central feature of popular culture. Computer-based or digital technologies are supplanting the traditional production methods of television, film and video, provoking intense speculation about their impact on the character of art. Examining the digital imaging techniques across a wide range of media, including film, music video, computer games, theme parks and simulation rides, Visual Digital Culture explores the relationship between evolving digital technologies and existing media and considers the effect of these new image forms on the experience of visual culture. Andrew Darley first traces the development of digital computing from the 1960s and its use in the production of visual digital entertainment. Through case studies of films such as Toy Story, key pop videos such as Michael Jackson's Black or White, and computer games like Quake and Blade Runner, Andrew Darley asks whether digital visual forms mark a break with traditional emphases on story, representation, meaning and reading towards a focus on style, image performance and sensation. He questions the implications of digital culture for theories of spectatorship, suggesting that these new visual forms create new forms of spectatorship within mass culture.

The vital building blocks of movement training - a key sourcebook
for actors, directors, students and teachers. In precise detail,
Darley sets out the exercises and techniques she developed with her
own drama-school students. She deals with the vital building blocks
of movement training: awareness, relaxation, tension-particularly
Lecoq's Seven States-and suspension, before progressing to areas in
which she was a pioneer: animal work, contact work, visual spacing,
and the relationship between voice and movement. 'Christian was
much more than a teacher, she was an indomitable and extraordinary
spirit' Anna Maxwell Martin
