Citizen Voices - Performing Public Participation in Science and Environment Communication (Paperback): Louise Phillips, Anabela... Citizen Voices - Performing Public Participation in Science and Environment Communication (Paperback)
Louise Phillips, Anabela Carvalho, Julie Doyle
R869 Discovery Miles 8 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book concentrates exclusively on the dialogic turn in the governance of science and the environment. The starting point for this book is the dialogic turn in the production and communication of knowledge in which practices claiming to be based on principles of dialogue and participation have spread across diverse social fields. As in other fields of social practice in the dialogic turn, the model of communication underpinning science and environmental governance is dialogue in which scientists and citizens engage in mutual learning on the basis of the different knowledge forms that they bring with them. The official aim is to involve citizens in processes of decision-making on scientific and environmental issues, including issues relating to the built environment such as urban planning. The attempt in this book has been made to build bridges across the fields of science and technology studies, environmental studies and media and communication studies in order to provide theoretically informed and empirically rich accounts of how citizen voices are articulated, invoked, heard, marginalised or silenced in science and environment communication.

Knowledge and Power in Collaborative Research - A Reflexive Approach (Hardcover): Louise Phillips, Marianne Kristiansen, Marja... Knowledge and Power in Collaborative Research - A Reflexive Approach (Hardcover)
Louise Phillips, Marianne Kristiansen, Marja Vehvilainen, Ewa Gunnarsson
R4,427 Discovery Miles 44 270 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Collaborative research embraces a multiplicity of practices in which social actors are invited to participate in the research process as co-producers of knowledge. But what is actually meant by "co-production" in collaborative research? Knowledge and Power in Collaborative Research presents a range of critical, reflexive strategies for understanding and tackling the challenges emanating from the tensions that arise in the meeting between different participants, knowledge forms and knowledge interests. The chapters anchor discussion of ethical, epistemological and methodological questions in sustained empirical analyses of cases of collaborative knowledge production. The book covers diverse theoretical approaches such as dialogic communication theory, actor network theory, poststructuralist writing as inquiry, institutional ethnography, dialogic action research, and pragmatic action research. The empirical cases span a broad spectrum of empirical fields of social practice: health services, organisational change, research, science communication, environmental communication in intermediary NGOs, participatory governance in relation to urban planning, and digital communication and virtual worlds.

Mental Illness and the Body - Beyond Diagnosis (Hardcover): Louise Phillips Mental Illness and the Body - Beyond Diagnosis (Hardcover)
Louise Phillips
R2,681 Discovery Miles 26 810 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Observation of the body helps psychiatrists to determine the cause and treatment of mental illness. To form a diagnosis, practitioners conduct detailed observations of patients' appearance, posture, gesture and gait, thereby using the body as a diagnostic index. However, within routine mental health practice, there is little consideration of how the bodily presentation of patients may reflect aspects of their "lived experience."
With reference to a range of theoretical perspectives including philosophy, psychoanalysis, feminism and sociology, Mental Illness and the Body explores the ways in which understanding "lived experience" may usefully be applied to mental health practice. Key features include:
- an outline of history British psychiatry including treatments
- interviews with a variety of psychiatrists and nurses
- an analysis of feminism and the way its insights have been applied to understanding mental health and illness
- in-depth interviews with eight patients diagnosed with mental illness
"Mental Illness and the Body" is essential reading for mental health practitioners, allied professionals and anyone with an interest in the body and mental illness.

Researching Virtual Worlds - Methodologies for Studying Emergent Practices (Paperback): Louise Phillips, Ursula Plesner Researching Virtual Worlds - Methodologies for Studying Emergent Practices (Paperback)
Louise Phillips, Ursula Plesner
R1,438 Discovery Miles 14 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume presents a wide range of methodological strategies that are designed to take into account the complex, emergent, and continually shifting character of virtual worlds. It interrogates how virtual worlds emerge as objects of study through the development and application of various methodological strategies. Virtual worlds are not considered objects that exist as entities with fixed attributes independent of our continuous engagement with them and interpretation of them. Instead, they are conceived of as complex ensembles of technology, humans, symbols, discourses, and economic structures, ensembles that emerge in ongoing practices and specific situations. A broad spectrum of perspectives and methodologies is presented: Actor-Network-Theory and post-Actor-Network-Theory, performativity theory, ethnography, discourse analysis, Sense-Making Methodology, visual ethnography, multi-sited ethnography, and Social Network Analysis.

Measuring the Mind - Speed, control, and age (Paperback, New): John Duncan, Louise Phillips, Peter McLeod Measuring the Mind - Speed, control, and age (Paperback, New)
John Duncan, Louise Phillips, Peter McLeod
R1,415 Discovery Miles 14 150 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What are the fundamental mechanisms of decision making, processing speed, memory and cognitive control? How do these give rise to individual differences, and how do they change as people age? How are these mechanisms implemented in neural unctions, in particular the functions of the frontal lobe? How do they relate to the demands of everyday, 'real life' behaviour? Over almost five decades, Pat Rabbitt has been among the most distinguished of British cognitive psychologists. His work has been widely influential in theories of mental speed, cognitive control and aging, influencing research in experimental psychology, neuropsychology and individual differences. This volume, dedicated to Pat Rabbitt, brings together a distinguished group of 16 contributors actively pursuing research in the fields of speed, memory, and control, and the application of these fields to individual differences and aging. With the latest work from senior figures in the field, and a focus on fundamental topics in both teaching and research, the book will be valuable to students and scientists in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience.

As the lawyer starts to dig deeper into Abby's case, Heather soon realises there may be a link to the shadows of her own past -- and those involved will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried ... 'A gripping courtroom drama with a courageous new heroine in Heather Baxter. Pacy, tightly plotted and full of suspense. The Hiding Game was worth the wait!'

Discourse Analysis as Theory and Method (Paperback): Marianne W. Jorgensen, Louise Phillips Discourse Analysis as Theory and Method (Paperback)
Marianne W. Jorgensen, Louise Phillips
R1,240 Discovery Miles 12 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Discourse Analysis as Theory and Method is a systematic introduction to discourse analysis as a body of theories and methods for social research. It brings together three central approaches, Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory, critical discourse analysis and discursive psychology, in order to establish a dialogue between different forms of discourse analysis often kept apart by disciplinary boundaries.

The book introduces the three approaches in a clear and easily comprehensible manner, explaining the distinctive philosophical premises and theoretical perspectives of each approach as well as the methodological guidelines and tools they provide for empirical discourse analysis. The authors also demonstrate the possibilities for combining different discourse analytical and non-discourse analytical approaches in empirical study. Finally, they contextualize discourse analysis within the social constructionist debate about critical social research, rejecting the view that a critical stance is incompatible with social constructionist premises and arguing that critique must be an inherent part of social research.
