Thinking Home: Interdisciplinary Dialogues
Author: Bojana Petric
File Type: pdf
Thinking Home challenges and extends the existing scholarship on the subject of home in a period which has seen unprecedented levels of movement cross the globe. Sanja Bahun and Bojana Petric have collated essays that revisit existing ideas to introduce new ways of thinking on home, from the individual and local, through communal, to the international levels. While home informs our feelings of belonging and displacement, and our activities, such as migration, housing, and language learning, Bahun, Petric and contributors look to specific under-studied areas and encompass them within a major framework that allows for assessment through multiple disciplinary and expressive lenses. Thinking Home examines examples such as temporary homes, homes on the road, new and emergent modes of home-making, and minority groups in home and housing debates. Fresh, timely and topical, Thinking Home is rooted in activism and policy-making in the sector of home the essays both challenge and extend the existing scholarship on this subject. This collection combines perspectives of aesthetics, anthropology, cultural and literary studies, law, linguistics, philosophy, sociology, psychoanalysis, political science and activist responses in one whole. It will be essential reading for students of anthropology, literary studies, cultural studies and philosophy. **Review Thinking Home is an extraordinary collection of thought, emotion, and image depicting the most sacred, common, and elusive space in a humans life home. Through social science, humanities, fiction, art, and memoir, the chapters describe experiences that expand home from a monolithic version of the idealized space into rooms where conflict, reconciliation, and self-actualization are formed through lived experiences in communities and out of communities in isolation. Highly recommended Marc Roark, Savannah Law School, USA The editors have gathered an interesting array of empirical and theoretical contributions, ranging across a wide spectrum of disciplines, which individually offer new and valuable insights. The editors introductions to each theme , link chapters with the broader issues identified in their overall introduction and create a coherent framework to draw the diverse contributions together. Ullrich Kockel, Heriot-Watt University, UK Thinking Home is a brilliantly conceived volume which manages to bring together, seamlessly and cohesively, twelve distinct positions on the notion of home and its many derivatives homeness, homelessness, home-making, homeland, homesickness, etc. It is a powerful collection of essays that investigates, and indeed thinks deeply of, the human experience of homeliness and unhomeliness and, at the same time, how our position vis-a-vis these concepts defines our very thought and speech.

Bojana Petric is Senior Lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London, UK.

In 2015 the College of Policing published its Leadership Review with specific reference to the type of leadership required to ensure that the next generation of Chief Constables and their management approach will be fit for purpose. Three key issues were highlighted as underpinning the effective leadership and management of contemporary policing hierarchy, culture and consistency. Yet these are not just relevant to modern policing, having appeared as constant features, implicitly and explicitly, since the creation of the first provincial constabularies in 1835. This collection reviews the history of the UK Chief Constable, reflecting on the shifts and continuities in police leadership style, practice and performance over the past 180 years, critiquing the factors affecting their operational management and how these impacted upon the organization and service delivery of their forces. The individuality of Chief Constables significantly impacts on how national and local strategies are implemented, shaping relationships with their respective communities and local authorities. Importantly, the book addresses not just the English experience but considers the role of Chief Constables in the whole of the United Kingdom, highlighting the extent to which they could exercise autonomous authority over their force and populace. The historical perspective adopted contextualises existing considerations of leadership in modern policing, and the extensive timeframe and geographical reach beyond the experience of the Metropolitan force enables a direct engagement with contemporary debates. It also offers a valuable addition to the existing literature contributing to the institutional memory of UK policing. The contributors represent a range of disciplines including history, law, criminology and leadership studies, and some also have practical policing experience. **Review This collection of essays is a timely re-evaluation of the role and practice of the most senior police officers. Seen as an impossible job by many, the essays in this book describe the historical and modern contexts of the people who negotiated the changing policing landscape. It will be of great use and interest to political researchers as well as historians and criminologists. Professor Barry Godfrey, Vice-President, Xian Jiaotong Liverpool University, China This collection will, I am sure, become the essential reference work for police scholars seeking to understand the historical context of the role of Chief Constable. The editors and contributors have delivered an excellent balance of essays that provide much to advance our understanding of police leadership whilst simultaneously providing a highly engaging account of the shifting social and political contexts which shaped police organisations and their leaders. Dr Tom Cockcroft, Head of Criminology, Leeds Beckett University, UK There has been remarkably little historical exploration of police leaders in the UK and their relations with the police authorities. The essays here go a long way towards addressing the vacuum. Moreover, given the advent of PCCs and the debates about the varied tasks of policing, the collection is timely. Clive Emsley, Emeritus Professor, Department of History, Open University, UK The editors have assembled a team of authors who reflect the cutting edge of research on the ongoing issue of the tensions between autonomy, professionalism and accountability in police leadership. The coverage of the entire British Isles provides invaluable insights into the topic as a whole. The long chronological scope allows the past to be considered both in its own terms, and as a source of inspiration for those grappling with the problems of the present. Dr Chris A.
