This much-needed volume fills an overlooked gap in adult
safeguarding - the digital arena - in providing a comprehensive
overview of policy and practice in supporting vulnerable adults
online. Providing an essential analysis illustrated by recent court
rulings and case studies, the authors advocate for the effective
support of adults with learning disabilities and/or mental capacity
issues in their digital lives without compromising their privacy
and participation rights. The text balances a theoretical
exploration of the tensions between participation and protection,
legislation, human rights, professional biases and social wrongs.
It encourages a critical approach in adopting both a practical and
realistic understanding for policy makers, professionals and
students in social work, law and adult social care.

This book explores the policing response to teen sexting – the
digital exchange, both consensual and non-consensual, of intimate
images among youth peers. With a particular focus in England and
Wales, it also considers other international responses and the
challenges faced in policing youth practices with legislation being
applied beyond its intended scope. It uses the police responses in
England and Wales as a case study of the challenges of policy
evolving the digital cultural phenomenon and the tensions between
enforcing the law, while knowing it’s not fit for purpose,
and supporting vulnerable minors. It explores the policy
responses that have developed from the problematic legislation and
whether these policy interventions have helped or hindered the
policing process. It draws in parallels with drugs policy and
policing, and brings in progressive, harm reduction approaches in
contrast to traditional solutions.
Italo Svevo, Giorgio Pressburger and Giuliana Morandini all make
use of individual 'infected' or suppressed voices which unfold
through illness so as to cast doubt on a more dominant narrative
standpoint. Here, Emma Bond offers a critical reading of the
literary function of illness, a function related to the nature of
narration itself.
This book explores the growing phenomenon of the social media storm
in the context of educational establishments. With a methodological
approach that draws on aspects of virtual and offline ethnography,
the text presents a series of case studies of public online
risk-related incidents. Our ethnographic methodology adopts the use
of unobtrusive data collection approaches, to explore publicly
available data from online interactive behaviours. Drawing on a
range of methods from internet mediated research (IMR) to inform
our ethnographic account, the book provides an in-depth exploration
of the public and organisational discourses arising from four
short, clear high-profile internet risk case studies in the
education sector ranging from early year to higher education. It
considers the social construction of a new 'risk' culture arising
computer-mediated social interactions and its impact on, and
response by, the organisations and society.
Scotland's Transnational Heritage draws on the expertise of
academics, museum professionals and creative practitioners working
together to re-think the way that the transnational histories of
Scotland are being told today. It emphasises Scotland's role in
networks of colonialism and outlines new historical examples of how
Scottish trades and institutions benefitted from Empire. It gathers
examples of contemporary case studies and innovative practices in
storytelling that engage and inform. The book aims to inspire
heritage and museum staff and academics to create new approaches to
these histories, both in Scotland and beyond. Within the current
context of calls to decolonise both the museum and the academy,
this is a timely snapshot of the exciting and diverse work taking
place in the field in Scotland today.
Writing Migration through the Body builds a study of the body as a
mutable site for negotiating and articulating the transnational
experience of mobility. At its core stands a selection of recent
migration stories in Italian, which are brought into dialogue with
related material from cultural studies and the visual arts.
Occupying no single disciplinary space, and drawing upon an
elaborate theoretical framework ranging from phenomenology to
anthropology, human geography and memory studies, this volume
explores the ways in which the skin itself operates as a border,
and brings to the surface the processes by which a sense of place
and self are described and communicated through the migrant body.
Through investigating key concepts and practices of transnational
embodied experience, the book develops the interpretative principle
that the individual bodies which move in contemporary migration
flows are the primary agents through which the transcultural
passages of images, emotions, ideas, memories - and also histories
and possible futures - are enacted.

The present edited collection of essays on the Sicilian author
Goliarda Sapienza includes contributions from established and
emerging scholars working in the field of contemporary women's
writing. Essays in this volume examine Sapienza through multiple
perspectives, taking into account the articulation of subjectivity
through autobiographical writing and the complex representation of
gender and sexual identities. Also considered here is Sapienza's
oblique position within the Italian literary canon, with
contributions moving beyond isolated textual analyses whilst
attempting to situate the author's works within a framework of
intertextual and contextual cultural references. Exploring the
fertile network of explicit and implicit intersections with Italian
and European literature (English and French in particular), as well
as with Western philosophical thought in which Sapienza's texts are
embedded, this volume will provide an overdue contribution to the
belated appraisal of an author whose due recognition is, in Cesare
Garboli's words, only a matter of time: "Time will work in favour
of Goliarda Sapienza's works. And this is not a wish; it is a
certainty."
Italy is one of the most recent immigratory destinations in Europe,
having long been one of the continent's most important sources of
emigration. Due to its strategic position in the Mediterranean, the
Italian peninsula is a crossroads of complex transnational
movements and represents a unique and dynamic context for the study
of contemporary migration and its representation through the
diverse channels of media, literature and film. The product of a
two-year interdisciplinary research project into representations of
migration to Italy, this volume brings together scholarly
contributions from the fields of migration studies, linguistics,
media, literature and film studies as well as essays by
practitioners and activists. It provides both a multi-faceted
snapshot of how diverse representations of immigration capture
experiences and affect decision-making dynamics and an in-depth
study of how media, literature and cinema contribute to the public
perception of migrants within the destination culture.
This book explores the different ways in which psychoanalysis has
been connected to various fields of Italian culture, such as
literary criticism, philosophy and art history, as well as
discussing scholars who have used psychoanalytical methods in their
work. The areas discussed include: the city of Trieste, in chapters
devoted to the author Italo Svevo and the artist Arturo Nathan;
psychoanalytic interpretations of women terrorists during the anni
di piombo; the relationships between the Freudian concept of the
subconscious and language in philosophical research in Italy; and a
personal reflection by a practising analyst who passes from
literary texts to her own clinical experience. The volume closes
with a chapter by Giorgio Pressburger, a writer who uses Freud as
his Virgil in a narrative of his descent into a modern hell. The
volume contains contributions in both English and Italian.
