The Study of Food, Tourism, Hospitality and Events
This book elaborates upon, critiques and discusses 21st-century approaches to scholarship and research in the food, tourism, hospitality, and events trades and applied professions, using case examples of innovative practice. The specific field considered in this book is also placed against the backdrop of the larger question of how universities and other institutions of higher learning are evolving and addressing the new relationships between research, scholarship and teaching.
Pragmatic Perspectives in Phenomenology
This collection offers complex analysis of the pragmatic theses that are present in the works of leading phenomenologists, including Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty. It will be of interest to scholars of phenomenology who are interested in moving beyond the analytic-continental divide to explore the relationship between practice and theory.
Reimagining and Reshaping Events
A unique and user-friendly text which advances managerial views on how the event industry is transforming. Packed with international real-life case studies and examples, it contextualises theory and illustrates how the industry has had to adapt whilst still considering key technological and sustainability issues.
Design Evolution and The Law
This book focuses on product design which is evolving conceptually and practically with advances in technology. Product design is no longer solely about product stylization and decoration, but rather about providing a holistic product experience for the consumer. Therefore, in the foreseeable future, product designs will increasingly communicate not only to our eyes, but to our other senses as well. This book examines the frameworks for the protection of product designs in New Zealand and Australia and evaluates the appropriateness of expanding legal mechanisms for the accommodation of product design evolution. The value of more holistic design protection is balanced against other important ...
The Homelessness of Being
The Homelessness of Being invites readers to consider what it means to be human. This dialogue between sociology and the early and middle phases of Heidegger’s writings argues that to be human is to be homeless. This homelessness is not one of materiality, of being houseless, but one that is ontological: the homelessness that constitutes the essence of humanity, where one is disconnected from the essence of one’s self or being. Prashan Ranasinghe theorizes this homelessness as an indeterminate nothingness, where the notion of being is unsettled because it is an amalgam of something and nothing. More broadly, the book adds to existing debates about whether—especially after the global pandemic—the social sciences have failed to explore everyday affects such as anxiety and boredom as revelatory of the essential homelessness of being human. It will interest philosophers, sociologists, and scholars engaging with Heidegger’s ideas.
The Phenomenology of Movement and Rest
This book is a phenomenological exploration of wandering and dwelling in the (selected) works of V. S. Naipaul, W. G. Sebald, and T. G. Tranströmer – three of the most perceptive chroniclers of the last century. Human history can be (re)told as the history of wandering and dwelling. Accounts of migrations, dispersals, pilgrimages, travels, explorations, shelters, and settlements – all testify to the primal human desire for movement and rest. This monograph is the first comprehensive phenomenological account of wandering and dwelling in the works of Naipaul, Sebald and Tranströmer. Although associated with widely variant literary forms and approaches, all the three litterateurs evince a profound, persistent and paradigmatic engagement with the experiences of wandering and dwelling in their respective oeuvres. It is this common engagement with the existential themes of movement and rest that forms the critical locus of this study.
Heidegger and the Thinking of Place
The philosophical significance of place—in Heidegger's work and as the focus of a distinctive mode of philosophical thinking. The idea of place—topos—runs through Martin Heidegger's thinking almost from the very start. It can be seen not only in his attachment to the famous hut in Todtnauberg but in his constant deployment of topological terms and images and in the situated, “placed” character of his thought and of its major themes and motifs. Heidegger's work, argues Jeff Malpas, exemplifies the practice of “philosophical topology.” In Heidegger and the Thinking of Place, Malpas examines the topological aspects of Heidegger's thought and offers a broader elaboration of the phi...
Heidegger and Politics
In this fresh interpretation of Heidegger, Alexander S. Duff explains Heidegger's perplexing and highly varied political influence. Heidegger and Politics argues that Heidegger's political import is forecast by fundamental ambiguities about the status of politics in his thought. Duff explores how, in Being and Time as well as earlier and later works, Heidegger analyzes 'everyday' human existence as both irretrievably banal but also supplying our only tenuous path to the deepest questions about human life. Heidegger thus points to two irreconcilable attitudes toward politics: either a total and purifying revolution must usher in an authentic communal existence, or else we must await a future deliverance from the present dispensation of Being. Neither attitude is conducive to moderate politics, and so Heidegger's influence tends towards extremism of one form or another, modified only by explicit departures from his thought.
Kierkegaard's Influence on Philosophy
Tome III traces Kierkegaard's influence on Anglophone philosophy. It has long been thought that Kierkegaard played no role in this tradition, which for years was dominated by analytic philosophy. In this environment it was common to dismiss Kierkegaard along with the then current European philosophers who were influenced by him. However, a closer look reveals that in fact there were several thinkers in the US, Canada and Great Britain who were inspired by Kierkegaard even during the heyday of analytic philosophy. Current thinking now suggests that Kierkegaard has made some serious inroads into mainstream Anglophone philosophy, with many authors seeking inspiration in his works for current discussions concerning ethics, personal identity, philosophy of religion, and philosophical anthropology.
Horizons of Authenticity in Phenomenology, Existentialism, and Moral Psychology
This volume centers on the exploration of the ways in which the canonical texts and thinkers of the phenomenological and existential tradition can be utilized to address contemporary, concrete philosophical issues. In particular, the included essays address the key facets of the work of Charles Guignon, and as such, honor and extend his thought and approach to philosophy. To this end, the four main sections of the volume deal with the question of authenticity, i.e. what it means to be an authentic person, the ways in which the phenomenological and existential traditions can impact the sciences, how best to understand the fact of human mortality, and, finally, the ways philosophical reflectio...
