As scholars, students and activists, we may want to change the world, but we are not separate, looking in, but rather part of the world ourselves. The book demonstrates that we are not in control: with all our academic rigour, we cannot know with certainty why the world is the way it is, or what impact our actions will have. It asks what we are to do, if this is the case, and engages with our desire to seek change. Chapters scrutinise the role of intellectuals, experts and activists in famine aid, the Iraq war, humanitarianism and intervention, traumatic memory, enforced disappearance, and the Grenfell Tower fire, and examine the fantasy of security, contemporary notions of time, space and materiality, and ideas of the human and sentience. Plays and films by Michael Frayn, Chris Marker and Patricio Guzmán are considered, and autobiographical narrative accounts probe the author’s life and background. The book argues that although we might need to traverse the fantasy of certainty and security, we do not need to give up on hope.Social changePolitical aspectsChangeSocial aspectsPolitical sciencechangecertaintysecuritydesirefantasyhopeintellectualsactivistsautobiographicalnarrativeSocial changePolitical aspects.ChangeSocial aspects.Political science.320.01Edkins Jenny863060UkMaJRUBOOK996552349203316Change and the politics of certainty1926646UNISA03594oam 22006854a 450 991096953420332120240410195243.0978160732059097816073215901607321599(CKB)3170000000046442(EBL)3039767(OCoLC)923704992(SSID)ssj0000582498(PQKBManifestationID)11369967(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000582498(PQKBWorkID)10560640(PQKB)11560170(OCoLC)777951949(MdBmJHUP)muse4129(DE-B1597)716273(DE-B1597)9781607321590(MiAaPQ)EBC3039767(Perlego)2056127(EXLCZ)99317000000004644220111109d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Carnegie Maya IVThe Carnegie Institute of Washington Theoretical Approaches to Problems /compiled and with an introduction by John M.

Longyear III.The Carnegie Maya IV is the fourth in a series of volumes that make available the primary data and interpretive studies originally produced by archaeologists and anthropologists in the Maya region under the umbrella of the Carnegie Institute of Washington's Division of Historical Research. Collected together here are the Theoretical Approaches to Problems papers, a series that published preliminary conclusions to advance thought processes and stimulate debate. Although two of the three theories published in these reports have since been proven wrong, the theories themselves remain significant because of their impact on the direction of archaeology. Only a few sets of these three contributions to the Theoretical Approaches to Problems series are known to have survived, making The Carnegie Maya IV an essential reference and research resource. The corresponding ebook, for individual download, contains the complete set of The Carnegie Maya, The Carnegie Maya II, The Carnegie Maya III and The Carnegie Maya IV, thus making hundreds of documents from the Carnegie Institution's Maya program available in one source.Archaeological expeditionsMexicoYucatán (State)HistoryEthnological expeditionsMexicoYucatán (State)HistoryMayasMexicoYucatán (State)AntiquitiesYucatán (Mexico : State)AntiquitiesElectronic books.
