Hermeneutic Phenomenology in Education
Hermeneutic phenomenology is a combination of theory, reflection and practice that interweaves vivid descriptions of lived experience (phenomenology) together with reflective interpretations of their meanings (hermeneutics). This method is popular among researchers in education, nursing and other caring and nurturing practices and professions. Practical and adaptable, it can be at the same time poetic and evocative. As this collection shows, hermeneutic phenomenology gives voice to everyday aspects of educational practice –particularly emotional, embodied and empathic moments– that may be all too easily overlooked in other research approaches. By explicating, illustrating and demonstrating hermeneutic phenomenology as a method for research in education specifically, this book offers an excellent resource for beginning as well as more advanced researchers.
Caring and Well-being
Investigating what it means to be human in a health and social care context and what the things that make us feel more human are, this book presents new perspectives about how professionals can enhance their capacity for humanly sensitive care.
Lying Down in the Ever-Falling Snow
First used to describe the weariness the public felt toward media portrayals of societal crises, the term compassion fatigue has been taken up by health professionals to name—along with burnout, vicarious traumatization, compassion stress, and secondary traumatic stress—the condition of caregivers who become “too tired to care.” Compassion, long seen as the foundation of ethical caring, is increasingly understood as a threat to the well-being of those who offer it. Through the lens of hermeneutic phenomenology, the authors present an insider’s perspective on compassion fatigue, its effects on the body, on the experience of time and space, and on personal and professional relationsh...
Re-thinking E-learning Research
In the rapidly-changing world of the Internet and the Web, theory and research struggle to keep up with technological, social, and economic developments. In education in particular, a proliferation of novel practices, applications, and forms - from bulletin boards to Webcasts, from online educational games to open educational resources - have come to be addressed under the rubric of «e-learning». In response to these phenomena, Re-thinking E-Learning Research introduces a number of research frameworks and methodologies relevant to e-learning. The book outlines methods for the analysis of content, narrative, genre, discourse, hermeneutic-phenomenological investigation, and critical and hist...
Oluff Koo
I denna bok redogör jag för alla för mig kända ättlingar till Olof Matsson (Koo) Lehmoinen, också kallad Oluff Koo. Det är i stort sett en avskrift av mitt släktforskningprogram och omfattar ättlingarna från 1600-talet till och med 1900-talet. Lehmoinen lär vara den skogsfinnesläkt som har flest ättlingar, företrädesvis i området Norra Värmland och Hedmarks fylke i Norge.
Living Away from Blessings
The notion of school failure is often understood only in terms of students' cognitive inadequacies or their dropping out of school. In this sense, students' failure really is seen as their failure. Living Away from Blessings offers an alternative understanding of the notion by examining students' lived experiences of school failure in the classroom. The experiential accounts of teenage students show that they view school failure as having little to do with cognitive inadequacy and everything to do with their behaviour. The lived experiences described by the students include feelings of disappointment, non-recognition, loneliness, boredom, shame, marginalization, stigmatization, inferiority, and worthlesssness. Drawing on phenomenological philosophy, Carina Henriksson explores the temporal, spatial, and relational dimensions of the experience of school failure. Living Away from Blessings is an insightful and sensitive inquiry into taken-for-granted attitudes about pedagogical relationships and classroom interaction. -- Cover.

Defining the Urban
What is "urban"? How can it be described and contextualised? How is it used in theory and practice? Urban processes feature in key international policy and practice discourses. They are at the core of research agendas across traditional academic disciplines and emerging interdisciplinary fields. However, the concept of "the urban" remains highly contested, both as material reality and imaginary construct. The urban remains imprecisely defined. Defining the Urban is an indispensable guide for the urban transdisciplinary thinker and practitioner. Parts I and II focus on how "Academic Disciplines" and "Professional Practices," respectively, understand and engage with the urban. Included, among ...
Intoxication
For two decades, Sébastien Tutenges has conducted research in bars, nightclubs, festivals, drug dens, nightlife resorts, and underground dance parties in a quest to answer a fundamental question: Why do people across cultures gather regularly to intoxicate themselves? Vivid and at times deeply personal, this book offers new insights into a wide variety of intoxicating experiences, from the intimate feeling of connection among concertgoers to the adrenaline-fueled rush of a fight, to the thrill of jumping off a balcony into a swimming pool. Tutenges shows what it means and feels to move beyond the ordinary into altered states in which the transgressive, spectacular, and unexpected take place...
