Описание: Whether you’re investigating fashion as a material object, an abstract idea, a social phenomenon, or a commercial system, qualitative techniques can further your understanding of almost any research topic. Doing Research in Fashion and Dress begins by guiding you through a brief history of fashion studies, and the debates surrounding it, before introducing key qualitative methodological approaches, including ethnography, semiology, and object-based research. Detailed case studies demonstrate how each methodology is used in practice. These case studies include Japanese subcultures, fashion photography blogs and semiotic studies of fashion magazine shoots and advertisements. This second edition also features a new chapter on internet sources and online ethnography, reflecting the adoption of social media tools not only by industry practitioners but also by academics.By contextualizing history, theory and practice Doing Research in Fashion and Dress offers:-A systematic examination of qualitative research methods in fashion studies in social sciences. -A practical guide for anyone wishing to conduct fashion research in academia or in the business world.-An accessible grounding in contemporary fashion studies literature.

Описание: Se coordonner dans un grand perimetre irrigue public, concu dans l’idee meme d’une coordination hierarchique par l’Etat, renvoie-t-il a une contradictio in terminis ? Une question lancinante dans les debats en cours sur les perimetres irrigues de la grande hydraulique qui, en s’accordant sur les limites des modeles institutionnels et reformes successifs, restent toujours en quete d’approches pertinentes pour une bonne gestion de ces perimetres. La reponse a cette question est a priori affirmative dans le perimetre irrigue du Gharb au Maroc, un perimetre longtemps faconne par un Etat s’ingerant dans les details les plus infimes de la vie rurale. Le passage de l’eau du ciel a l’eau de l’Etat n’a pas marque seulement les pratiques et le paysage agricole dans ce perimetre mais aussi les discours et les representations collectives des agriculteurs et des agents de l’administration agricole. Alors : si on cherchait a repenser autrement cette question dans un contexte de redeploiement de l’Etat et d’emergence de nouvelles dynamiques ? Tel est l’objectif de ce livre qui se propose d’apprehender la coordination de la gestion des perimetres irrigues de facon differente et originale. Differente, dans son ambition d’inverser le regard porte sur ces perimetres publics en analysant la coordination « par le bas ». Originale, dans son approche qui vise a decrypter la coordination in situ, son sens pratique, ses logiques implicites et explicites, autrement dit les grammaires d’action, en s’impregnant des dedales des vecus locaux et des rouages de l’anodin et de l’irregulier. Le livre s’attache a denouer les fils de la coordination dans trois villages, fils que tissent les communautes locales dans leurs attachements divers avec la production d’agrumes, l’utilisation de l’eau pour l’irrigation et l’acces a la terre.

Описание: The author examines social mobility in the enlarged EU by analysing the work sequences of 1865 movers and stayers in Poland. Using indicators of upward and downward social mobility, she explores the role of migration in careers. Her research shows that migration adds dynamism to work paths and contributes to the improvement of people’s working lives. It also suggests that agency and reflexivity guide the acquisition of tacit skills during migration, resulting in various patterns of social mobility.

Описание: Racial, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity has become of global importance in places where many never would have imagined. Increasing diversity in the U.S., Europe, Africa, New Zealand, and Asia strongly suggests that a homogeneity-based focus is rapidly becoming an historical artifact. Therefore, culturally responsive evaluation (CRE)should no longer be viewed as a luxury or an option in our work as evaluators. The continued amplification of racial, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity and awareness among the populations of the U.S. and other western nations insists that social science researchers and evaluators inextricably engage culturally responsive approaches in their work. It is unacceptable for most mainstream university evaluation programs, philanthropic agencies, training institutes sponsored by federal agencies, professional associations, and other entities to promote professional evaluation practices that do not attend to CRE. Our global demographics are a reality that can be appropriately described and studied within the context of complexity theory and theory of change (e.g., Stewart, 1991; Battram, 1999). And this perspective requires a distinct shift from “simple” linear cause-effect models and reductionist thinking to include more holistic and culturally responsive approaches.The development of policy that is meaningfully responsive to the needs of traditionally disenfranchised stakeholders and that also optimizes the use of limited resources (human, natural, and financial) is an extremely complex process. Fortunately, we are presently witnessing developments in methods, instruments, and statistical techniques that are mixed methods in their paradigm/designs and likely to be more effective in informing policymaking and decision-making. Culturally responsive evaluation is one such phenomenon that positions itself to be relevant in the context of dynamic international and national settings where policy and program decisions take place. One example of a response to address this dynamic and need is the newly established Center for Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment (CREA) in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.CREA is an outgrowth of the collective work and commitments of a global community of scholars and practitioners who have contributed chapters to this edited volume. It is an international and interdisciplinary evaluation center that is grounded in the need for designing and conducting evaluations and assessments that embody cognitive, cultural, and interdisciplinary diversity so as to be actively responsive to culturally diverse communities and their aspirations. The Center’s purpose is to address questions, issues, theories, and practices related to CRE and culturally responsive educational assessment. Therefore, CREA can serve as a vehicle for our continuing discourse on culture and cultural context in evaluation and also as a point of dissemination for not only the work that is included in this edited volume, but for the subsequent work it will encourage.
