  • Algorithmic decision-making in social work practice and pedagogy

    Open AccessP James, Jason Lal et al.ARTICLESocial Work Education2024

    The world is experiencing an accelerating digital transformation. One aspect of this is the implementation of algorithmic decision-making, often supported by Artificial Intelligence. Algorithmic systems have the potential to change the meaning of critical elements of the engagement between social workers and people who need support. At the same time, social workers are increasingly being required by their agencies to integrate such abstracting te…

  • Rethinking Pluriversal Theory in Globalization Research

    P James, Manfred B StegerARTICLEGlobal Perspectives2023

    Globalization is full of disjunctures and contradictions. Paradoxically, it is, on the one hand, a generalizing process and, on the other hand, associated with encounters and conflicts that accentuate, and even generate, multiplicities of difference. This article tracks developments in a broad set of approaches that have over the last few decades sought to deepen our understanding of these encounters and differences. These approaches can be colla…

  • Objects of the Anthropocene

    Open AccessP James, Timothy Erik StrömARTICLEEmotions History Culture Society2023References: 1

    Objects are complicated things, and no less so when they are created by us. We layer created objects with additional emotional meaning. Understanding the complexity of this layering requires much more than tracing the narrative history of an object. This essay is about the objects that we make and appropriate. In particular, the essay suggests that objects need to be understood sensitively both in the context of global human history, and the onto…

  • Re-embedding the circular economy in Circles of Social Life

    Open AccessP JamesARTICLELocal Environment2022

    Over the last decade, the aspirational rhetoric of circular economics has intensified exponentially. At the same time, the boundaries of projected circular economy outcomes have been tightened around a reductive, often neoliberally framed, inter-relation between the domains of economics and ecology. In this process, questions of politics and culture, including issues of justice and social meaning, have largely been ignored. It is this Janus-faced…

  • Suicide in frontotemporal dementia and Huntington disease

    Adrienne Sexton, Kirsty West et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2021

    OBJECTIVE: Genomic testing for early-onset dementia is becoming more accessible, along with predictive testing for at-risk relatives; however, complex counselling issues are important to address. The topic of suicide often has stigma associated, and thoughts or experiences may not be volunteered without prompting. Little has been published with consideration to suicide rates in the context of family experiences and their significance in genetic c…

  • On living in an already-unsettled world

    P James, Manfred B StegerARTICLEGlobalizations2021Cited by: 1References: 6

    This essay elaborates the terms of our central argument about the current intensification of global disjunctures. We introduce a crucial dimension of our engaged theory of globalization that can usefully be brought to the fore to understand these cleavages and tensions. The essay scrutinizes two key conjunctures, comparing the current Global Covid Crisis with the 2008–2009 Global Financial Crisis. It concludes that massive disjunctures in the way…

  • Unsettling Subjectivity across Local, National and Global Imaginaries Producing an Unhappy Consciousness

    Open AccessManfred B Steger, P JamesARTICLEGlocalism Journal of Culture…2020Cited by: 1References: 7

    This article analyzes the complex and subtle dynamics involved in producing and representing the global-local nexus in everyday life. Its socio-historical context is the destabilization of the current globalization system – and its associated global imaginary – marked by the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, continuing with the populist explosion in the mid 2010s, and climaxing in the 2020 Global Coronavirus Pandemic. But rather than mischaracterizin…

  • Disjunctive Globalization in the Era of the Great Unsettling

    Open AccessManfred B Steger, P JamesARTICLETheory Culture & Society2020Cited by: 10

    Globalization is now at its most disjunctive phase in human history. The planetary COVID-19 crisis has combined with the vulnerabilities of global capitalism to break down social routines. Yet, the current moment of the Great Unsettling also offers a critical opportunity to take stock of the present state of globalization. To this end, this article revisits and re-engages some pertinent themes raised in the pathbreaking 1990 TCS Global Culture is…

  • A Genealogy of ‘Globalization’

    P James, Manfred B StegerARTICLEGlobalizations2014Cited by: 18References: 13

    ‘Globalization’ is an extraordinary concept. It is a complicated concept that burst upon the world relatively recently, but soon became a household concern. It is a concept that was rarely used until the 1990s, but processes of globalization had been happening for centuries. This article follows the genealogy of the concept from its unlikely beginnings in the 1930s–1950s to the heated scholarly debates across the end of the twentieth century to t…

  • Emotional Ambivalence across Times and Spaces

    P JamesARTICLEExemplaria2014References: 12

    Petrarch stands at the top of Mount Ventoux and proclaims his longing to return home. His soul turns toward Italy. Yet Petrarch has no “home” as such, and Italy does not exist except as a post-imperial territorial designation. There certainly is no Italian nation. How can we understand these paradoxes? How does Petrarch’s passion relate to the question of nation formation? Through an exploration of Petrarch’s emotional responses to Italy, and by …

  • Globalizing Consumption and the Deferral of a Politics of Consequence

    P James, Paul A James et al.ARTICLEGlobalizations2012References: 19

    How do ‘we’ in the wealthy parts of the world rationalize our constant deferral of doing anything much, beyond symbolic moments of ameliorative action, about the problems starkly presented every night on the world news? Intensifying globalization, from electronic capitalism to techno-science, has drawn the fate of the world into an ever-tightening orbit. Indeed, the plight of others has become increasingly immediate. Images of crisis abound. Howe…

  • Contested Places

    Open AccessEric Pawson, P JamesARTICLEAboriginal History Journal2011

    The Motunui-Waitara claim of the Atiawa people of Taranaki was the first case dealt by the Waitangi Tribunal. This case decision illustrates the differences between Maori and Pakeha attitudes to the environment, which are located in differences of history and culture

  • P1-97 Demographic analysis of osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma family of tumours in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain, 1980–2005

    Karen Blakey, R Feltobower et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Primary bone cancers (PBC) occur most often in young people. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma family of bone tumours (ESFT) are the most common sub-groups but aetiology remains unclear. Some childhood cancer rates are known to vary with socioeconomic status. Therefore, this study examined geographical patterning in osteosarcoma and ESFT incidence, diagnosed in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain (GB) during 1980–2005. The analysis focussed…

  • P1-96 Primary bone cancer in 0–49 year olds in great britain, 1980–2005 and fluoride in drinking water

    Karen Blakey, Richard Feltbower et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Primary bone cancers (PBC) occur most often in young people. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma family of bone tumours (ESFT) are most commonly diagnosed in children but aetiology remains unclear. Fluoride has been proposed as a potential causal agent for PBC. The study investigated whether incidence of PBC was linked with fluoride in drinking water. Method Incidence data on cases aged <50 years diagnosed during 1980–2005 were obtained f…

  • Accounting for sustainability

    Andy Scerri, P JamesARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2009Cited by: 3References: 7

    Indicators‐based projects are currently central to many local, city‐wide, national and international sustainability initiatives. The quantitative basis of many such projects means that achieving sustainability through them is often undertaken as a technical task. The size, scope and sheer number of indicators included within many such projects means that they are often unwieldy and resist effective implementation. Arguably, the techno‐scientific …

  • Trust Us and Be Scared

    John Handmer, P JamesARTICLEGlobal Society2007Cited by: 6

    The contemporary Western preoccupation with risk assessment is profound. However, this does not mean that the concept of risk is a useful theoretical tool for understanding contemporary society in general. The talk of a risk society is part of a tendency to take risk as an all-embracing category with little attention paid either to the distinction between abstract risk and risk assessment, or to different formations of risk in time and place. We …

  • Global Matrix

    Tom Nairn, P JamesBOOKGLOBAL MATRIX: NATIONALISM,…2005

    The authors explore three main questions: What is the cultural- political nature of contemporary globalization? How adequate, particularly in the context of nation-states, is a politics of democratic nationalism? How are we to understand new and old nations in the context of changes across the late twentieth century

  • Theory and Society in the Shadow of Terror

    Open AccessP JamesARTICLEAlternatives Global Local Political2005Cited by: 1References: 2

    Contemporary social theory has reached an impasse that expresses the contradictions of our time. The retreat from Grand Theory may have been necessary but there is need now to go back to basic questions about ontology, epistemology, and ethics. This article presents an alternative approach to method—an approach that allows us to map the tensions between tribalism, traditionalism, modernism, and postmodernism in this age of globalization, multiply…

  • Sparta before Sparta’

    Open AccessWilliam Cavanagh, Christopher Mee et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…2004Cited by: 2References: 11

    This is the final report on the intensive survey at Kouphovouno, the prehistoric settlement just south of Sparta, in 1999–2000. As well as a total collection of the artefacts on the surface, there was a magnetometer survey of the site and a programme of environmental studies, for which a series of cores was taken. The site was first occupied in the 6th millennium and covered 4–5 ha in the Middle, Late/Final Neolithic and Early Helladic periods. O…

  • National Identity between Tradition and Reflexive Modernisation

    Andrew Phillips, P JamesARTICLENational Identities2001Cited by: 2References: 3

    Central Asia, one of the most understudied areas in the world, is currently going through the upheavals of modernisation and nation formation. Arguing against the one-dimensional modernist conclusion that this process was arrested during the Soviet period, the article sets out to explore the complex weave of historical continuity and discontinuity in the formation of national identity in the new states. It argues against the notion that national …

  • Soil Erosion and the Archaeological Landscape of Methana, Greece

    P James, Peter A James et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology1994Cited by: 1References: 22

    An attempt is made to assess the effect of soil erosion on the archaeological record of Methana, Greece, by detailed analysis of the distribution and quality of sherds in relation to soil conditions and land morphology. Sherds have been concentrated through soil removal caused by surface wash, the dominant erosion process, at least on terraced slopes. The chief agent of sherd displacement is probably livestock. Sherd distribution is therefore tho…
