TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize development management both as management in the context of development as a long-term historical process and as the management of deliberate efforts at progress by means of intervention in the social change process on the part of a variety of agencies.
Abstract: What is distinctive about development management? This paper first discusses different views of development and management separately, and goes on to characterize development management both as management in the context of development as a long-term historical process and as the management of deliberate efforts at progress by means of intervention in the social change process on the part of a variety of agencies. Thus development management should be thought of in terms of process and is distinctive in aiming at social goals external to any particular organization in the context of value-based conflicts. The paper concludes with a list of conceptual and skill areas which this view implies are important to development management as a new academic and professional field.

TL;DR: In this paper, an application of the work of the French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu to research on initial teacher education is described. But this work is based on a three-level analysis which links notions of individual pedagogic habitus to the training field and structural, differential responses of students within it.
Abstract: This paper details an application of the work of the French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu to research on initial teacher education The extent to which Bourdieu's work is post-structuralist is discussed; his major theoretical perspectives are outlined; and their relevancy outside of the purely sociological argued for An example of research method derived from his approach is offered as a practical illustration: the training of modern language teachers The method is based on a three-level analysis which links notions of individual pedagogic habitus to the training field Some detail is given of ‘mapping the field’ of training, and structural, differential responses of students within it Training is considered as ‘discourse’, as a field of knowledge(s) and practice(s), and the policy implications of this approach discussed Comments are made on the epistemological nature of the method employed and its scope for future research practice

TL;DR: Mitchell as mentioned in this paper presents a detailed and original presentation of the Inuit cooperative movement and provides an astute evaluation of contemporary Inuit land claims, concluding that Inuit have been unequally incorporated into the Canadian class system because of their ethnic status and lack of capital.
Abstract: Mitchell demonstrates the transformation of relationships -- both between the Inuit and Europeans and among the Inuit themselves -- that has occurred since contact with the West, focusing on the intersection of class and nation. This intersection provides a unifying framework to order the history of Inuit-European contact. At the heart of the book is a detailed and original presentation of the Inuit cooperative movement. Mitchell's skilful blending of primary sources with personal experience and secondary literature provides a compelling analysis of the Inuit co-op as a development tool used by the state. In the final chapters, she provides an astute evaluation of contemporary Inuit land claims, concluding that the Inuit have been unequally incorporated into the Canadian class system because of their ethnic status and lack of capital. Growing nationalism among the Inuit and demands for self-government make From Talking Chiefs to a Native Corporate Elite a timely and important addition to the field of Native studies. It will be of great interest to both scholars and general readers.
TL;DR: The concept of culture has gradually gained a prominent place in a number of social sciences, like organization theory and management studies, other than its parent discipline, anthropology as discussed by the authors, since the early 1960s.
Abstract: Introduction Since the early 1960s the concept of culture has gradually gained a prominent place in a number of social sciences, like organization theory and management studies, other than its parent discipline, anthropology. Also in studies on higher education the concept of culture has been used to explain, for example, the effectiveness of universities and colleges However, as with many prominent concepts introduced before in this field (for example, quality, effectiveness and strategy), culture is applied without a dear-cut and undisputed definition, leading to a lot of confusion as well as disagreement on the validity of its
TL;DR: The Variation of Contexts in the Field of Social Sciences as mentioned in this paper, by B. B. Lahire, is one of the most important works in the field of social sciences.
Abstract: The Variation of Contexts in the Field of Social Sciences. Epistemological Remarks. B. Lahire. ; ; In the field of social sciences, the notion of "context" is both one of the vaguest notion and one of the more useful. Vague, because the way contexts are framed and their theoretical status are often implicit and very variable from one research to an other. Useful and central, because social sciences are based on a contextual reasoning empirically founded. Interpretation in the field of social sciences assumes to pass on from the abstract evocation or invocation of the "social or historical context" to the description of limited and relatively singular contexts. In front of the various scientific uses of this notion, searchers are tempted to separate the "good" definitions of context from the "bad" ones, the "relevant" scales of context from the "irrelevant" ones. However, if we are conscious of the constructed scientific nature of all "social or historical contexts", we may discover the specific knowledge effects adapted to each construction's mode of contexts. Each scale of context squares with specific social complexity order and the different authors of sociological or historical studies do not talk about the same social and historical reality. From one research to another, the searcher may try to vary experimentally the aperture of his lens, to combine different methodological languages, and may attempt each time to delimit the field of pertinence of his interpretations depending on the choice of the point of view, the observation's methods and the scale of context.

TL;DR: In this article, Hijiya-Kirschnereit brings a sophisticated and graceful method of analysis to this English translation of her book on the shishosetsu, one of the most important yet misunderstood genres in Japanese literature.
Abstract: Irmela Hijiya-Kirschnereit brings a sophisticated and graceful method of analysis to this English translation of her book on the shishosetsu, one of the most important yet misunderstood genres in Japanese literature. Thorough and insightful, this study of the Japanese version of the I-novel provides a means of researching and interpreting the tradition of the genre, linking it to forms of autobiographical fiction as well as to cultural assumptions of the classical period of Japanese history. Hijiya-Kirschnereit provides a model of systematic inquiry into literary traditions that will stimulate American and English Japanologists, providing a much-needed bridge between German Japanologists and the rest of the field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop the concept of legal administrative field as a means to approach the issue of the gap between the theories of formal administrative law and the experience of practice in particular administrative settings, drawing upon the work of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu.
Abstract: This thesis suggests that it is impossible to consider any administrative agency in the abstract without losing important elements of the nature of the legal environment within which the agency operates. There is a large gap between the theories of formal administrative law and the experience of practice in particular administrative settings. Drawing upon the work of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, the thesis develops the concept of the legal administrative field as a means to approach this issue. The use of Bourdieu's concepts of field, habitus and capital help to articulate and give a theoretical structure to a process and series of practices that are otherwise hard to identify or study. Two Alberta farm marketing boards, and certain specific legal issues faced by each board, are examined in detail and analyzed in terms of the concept of the legal administrative field. It is shown that for each board, the realm of what was 'legally possible' shifted despite the fact that there were no changes in the formal administrative law and that legal practice in these fields involves far more than the application of the principles of formal administrative law. The intersection of the principles and habitus of formal administrative law, the structure provided by the legislative and regulatory framework, and the respective capital and habitus of all the individuals, agents and agencies within the field all interact and these complex interactions are what structure the legal administrative fields and shape the shifts which occur within them. In the struggles of interpretation which occur in these fields an attempt to make a clear demarcation between the practice of law by lawyers and the administration of the system by administrators is inadequate; it simplifies and renders invisible much of the complex series of interactions in which the legal practitioner is a participant and which create the field in which he or she practices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the difficulties encountered when attempting to use feminist methodologies in predominately male organisational environments is explored, and issues of power in research relationships and the development of rapport in ethnographic research are discussed.
Abstract: This chapter explores the difficulties encountered when attempting to use feminist methodologies in predominately male organisational environments. It explores issues of power in research relationships and the development of rapport in ethnographic research. A central concern of this essay is the emotional impact that research has on the researcher. It is argued that the management of emotions necessary for the feminist researcher in an all-male environment may create distorted field relationships and may be too high a price to pay to illustrate the patriarchal culture of academia.
