People and Space
This book explores new forms and modalities of relations between people and space that increasingly affect the life of the city. The investigation takes as its starting point the idea that in contemporary societies the loss of our relationship with place is a symptom of a breakdown in the relationship between ethics and aesthetics. This in turn has caused a crisis not only in taste, but also in our sense of beauty, our aesthetic instinct, and our moral values. It has also led to the loss of our engagement with the landscape, which is essential for cities to function. The authors argue that new, fertile forms of interaction between people and space are now happening in what they call the ‘i...
Lives Elsewhere
This book offers English-speaking readers one of the best examples of continental European approaches to working psychologically with refugees and migrants, combining ethnopsychiatric elements with insights from systemic approaches and from the theory and practice of narrative psychotherapies.
Oral History and Public Memories
Oral history is inherently about memory, and when oral history interviews are used "in public," they invariably both reflect and shape public memories of the past. Oral History and Public Memories is the only book that explores this relationship, in fourteen case studies of oral history's use in a variety of venues and media around the world. Readers will learn, for example, of oral history based efforts to reclaim community memory in post-apartheid Cape Town, South Africa; of the role of personal testimony in changing public understanding of Japanese American history in the American West; of oral history's value in mapping heritage sites important to Australia's Aboriginal population; and of the way an oral history project with homeless people in Cleveland, Ohio became a tool for popular education. Taken together, these original essays link the well established practice of oral history to the burgeoning field of memory studies.

Textbook of Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery, A Companion Guide for Field and Clinical Care of Traumatized People Worldwide
Over 1 billion persons worldwide are affected by the psychological and physical impact of violence and natural disaster. In many societies today, torture and other forms of cruel and degrading abuse still exist. Domestic violence remains a scourge of our planet. The world's leading experts in medicine, psychiatry, humanitarian efforts, medical anthropology, human rights, economic development and research and evaluation have worked together to create this first ever scientific and culturally sensitive health/mental health textbook. The textbook has been produced in a digital format (and a paperback edition as well) so that it can be readily used in the field and clinics in the developing world, in refugee camps and other resource poor environments. An interdisciplinary and innovative Global Mental Health Action Plan is united with best practices in a usable and effective approach for the care of traumatized communities worldwide.
Twisting Identity and Belonging Beyond Dichotomies
This book brings together personal stories and theoretical concepts in the exploration of how second generation female migrants (SGFMs) in Norway negotiate their identities and give new form and content to their own notions of peace and belonging beyond a double life. By applying postmodern and feminist scholarship, the book challenges static ideas of cultural identity in discourses about the national and the family contexts. It takes the reader on a journey through the transformations of conflicts on sexuality, identity, and belonging by the SGFMs themselves. This will be an important book for feminist and migration researchers, as well as for those concerned with minority issues. (Series: Masters of Peace - Vol. 8)

Architettura e Politica. Architecture and politics
Nelle sue espressioni concrete, l'architettura costituisce il punto generativo di un ordine che è insieme formale e civile. La sua azione ideativa e le sue determinazioni materiali creano e organizzano spazi e luoghi che sono anche politici. I grandi progetti dell'architettura, del pensiero e della società appaiono sostenuti, in modo particolare in questi anni, da considerazioni che vedono delinearsi in primo piano l'esigenza di nuovi principi ordinatori delle politiche del territorio che non solo si confrontano nell'insieme delle infrastrutture e della dotazione di servizi, ma incidono anche sui grandi temi del rapporto tra tutela della natura e ambiente costruito, della realizzazione del...
