Описание: During the last 300 years circus clowns have emerged as powerful cultural icons. This is the first semiotic analysis of the range of make-up and costumes through which the clowns' performing identities have been established and go on developing. It also examines what Bouissac terms 'micronarratives' - narrative meanings that clowns generate through their acts, dialogues and gestures. Putting a repertory of clown performances under the semiotic microscope leads to the conclusion that the performances are all interconnected and come from what might be termed a 'mythical matrix'. These micronarratives replicate in context-sensitive forms a master narrative whose general theme refers to the emergence of cultures and constraints that they place upon instinctual behaviour. From this vantage point, each performance can be considered as a ritual which re-enacts the primitive violence inherent in all cultures and the temporary resolutions which must be negotiated as the outcome. Why do these acts of transgression and re-integration then trigger laughter and wonder? What kind of mirror does this put up to society? In a masterful semiotic analysis, Bouissac delves into decades of research to answer these questions.

Описание: Lifetime attitudes to housing have changed, with new population dynamics driving the market and a greater emphasis on consumption. This important contribution to the literature argues that how we think about households and their housing needs to be recast to acknowledge this changed environment and provide a more powerful conceptual framework.

Описание: Meeting Your Interests: Collaborative Law and Other Options for Dispute Resolution explores different methods of dispute resolution, including the collaborative process from beginning to end in a succinct and clear discussion. Youll discover how collaborative professionals can help you reach the most efficient, least emotionally destructive, and most dignified outcome possible for all parties. The book contains descriptions of the processes most often used to resolve disputes, and the pros and cons associated with each. Processes include (1) "kitchen-table" negotiation, which takes place between the parties themselves, (2) the collaborative process and the structure it follows to create successful resolutions, (3) litigation, which is the traditional process that occurs in court, and (4) mediation, which includes a neutral third-party mediator and can occur within any of the prior three frameworks. Since the collaborative process is the newest of these options, the process itself receives detailed description so that the reader can visualize the process from its inception through its conclusion.
