The Search for Political Community
This book challenges the myth that Americans' emphasis on personal fulfilment necessarily weakens commitment to the common good. Drawing on extensive participant-observation with a variety of environmentalist groups, Paul Lichterman argues that individualism sometimes enhances public, political commitment and that a shared respect for individual inspiration enables activists with diverse political backgrounds to work together. This personalised culture of commitment has sustained activists working long-term for social change. The book contrasts 'personalised politics' in mainly white environmental groups with a more traditional, community-centred culture of commitment in an African-American group. The untraditional, personalised politics of many recent social movements invites us to rethink common understandings of commitment, community, and individualism in a post-traditional world.

Waiting for you at the terminus station
“I lived with you as long as I did and everything seemed to me without beginning and without end, do you understand?” “Yes, I understand. I have the same feeling. I have a Modigliani feeling.” “Why Modigliani?” “Because he sought and achieved pure beauty, perfection.” “The things that are valuable to me are not the same as those of others.” “Everyone has the right to feel and choose what they want from everything.” “Yes, that’s right. It’s everyone’s business.” “Do you think they will like the book? Will they be interested in such a thing?” “Surely. It’s a life experience in which all women can find themselves. And they are not few. Women are smart, ...
Communication in Transdisciplinary Teams
This volume on communication in transdisciplinary teams is timely for two reasons: the number and size of research teams has increased, and communication is a primary criterion for success in both inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations. This introduction provides an overview of theory and practice aimed at orienting readers to pertinent literature then previews the chapters that follow. First, though, preliminary definition is in order. Relevant insights are dispersed across literatures on both inter- and trans-disciplinarity, raising the question of how they differ (Klein, 2017). Interdisciplinarity (ID) integrates information, data, methods, tools, concepts, or theories from two or m...
