Beyond these Walls: Confronting Madness in Society, Literature and Art
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. This rich and diverse collection probes the boundaries of madness across an array of international, historical and disciplinary contexts, illuminating themes including power, surveillance, confinement, liberation, and creativity.
The Hysteric
Examining historical, clinical, and artistic material, in both written and visual form, this book traces the figure of the contemporary hysteric as she rebels against the impossible demands made upon her. Exploring five traits that commonly characterise the hysteric as an archetype – a specific body, mimetic abilities, a shroud of mystery, a propensity to disappear, and a particular relationship to voice – the authors shed light on what it means to be hysterical, as a form of rebellion and resistance. This is important reading for scholars of sociology, gender studies, cultural studies, and visual studies with interests in psychoanalysis, art, and the characterisation of mental illness.
Teaching Learning and New Technologies in Higher Education
This book discusses emerging issues related to teaching-learning in Indian higher education and the integration of technology. It brings together a host of national and international experts specializing in various aspects of teaching-learning in higher education, technology, and classroom practices to present policy and organizational strategies for enhancing innovation in teaching-learning processes, and offers a comprehensive overview of teaching-learning in connection with broader themes and concerns such as academic freedom, globalization, and new technologies. Reviewing a wide range of current practices and discussing specific teaching-learning challenges in depth, the book will be of interest to researchers and students of education, practitioners of higher education policy, and teacher educators alike.
Women Writing Socially in Academia
This book offers a multifaceted perspective on social writing in a volatile, uncertain and complex world. It meets the need to enable women’s capacity, especially in academic settings, to structure their own writing practice and that of others in the community. It expands current research on social writing beyond its core context in English-speaking countries to multilingual contexts from Portugal to Finland, identifying fruitful areas for interdisciplinary research, nexuses of social practice, and strategies for situated social learning through a feminist lens, bringing women from the margins to the centre. As the average woman academic with children is losing an hour of research and writing time every day in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, the impact of which will be felt for decades, the book purposefully entwines these polyphonic voices to tell the story of a writing retreat as a space for leadership and empowerment.
