As generative AI becomes embedded in education, research has largely emphasised outputs, ethics, and performance, with less attention to how these systems shape learners’ conduct and dispositions through interaction. This conceptual paper addresses that gap by treating large language models (LLMs) not as neutral tools but as meaning-mediating infrastructures: interactive systems that organise what kinds of learning moves become easy, sensible, an…
Guiding distinctions of social theory. Analogue guidelines or digital transformers? An introduction
This article introduces and situates the concept of guiding distinctions as a foundational yet underexamined category in sociological theory. Building on social systems theory and the calculus of indications, it argues that distinctions are not merely heuristic oppositions but operative selections that render the social world observable. While classical dichotomies such as structure/agency or individual/society have long shaped sociological disco…
Guiding distinctions of social theory
In this article, we report on the results of two online brainstormings that have collected over 480 and over 219 guiding distinctions of social theory, respectively. We draw on the results of these brainstormings as well as on a quantitative analysis of the Top 100 sociological groundworks as listed in the ISA Books of the XX Century ranking to identify the most influential distinctions of social theory and show that the bulk of these guiding dis…

The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Heritage Research
This book explores heritage from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines and in doing so provides a distinctive and deeply relevant survey of the field as it is currently researched, understood a
The Ontological Politics of Heritage; or How Research Can Spoil a Good Story
Criminologists, perhaps more than other social scientists, are much exercised by the extent of what they do not know. Theirs is a field dominated by the efforts of the controlling state and its law enforcement apparatus to record criminal behaviour in all its myriad forms, gleaning information that is then used as a basis for policy-making and the allocation of resources to further that end. Important stuff, of course; but it does mean that the s…
A War Long Forgotten
Battlefields have a particular hold on the imagination, inviting those who visit them to make conscious links between physical places and what is known to have happened there. People may align themselves with one or other of the protagonists and celebrate or regret a victory or defeat. Beyond the partisan, however, there is also the human response; reflections, perhaps, on the horror of war and its futility, the harm done to civilians, the affron…
The Critical Turn in Tourism Studies. Creating an Academy of Hope
Framing theory
Heritage theory has developed piecemeal over the last 30 years, with little progress made in fully understanding the way the subject can or should be theorised. This paper identifies some of the main sources of theory in heritage, as well as the approaches and perspectives that have been formulated as a result. These are framed on the basis of their disciplinary origins and can be viewed as theories in, theories of and theories for heritage. As f…

Heritage and community engagement
This chapter surveys the term ‘community’ in relation to heritage management practices. It begins by offering an historical overview of the term before turning to assess methods of engagement. The chapter concludes by offering an exploration of the wider ethical implications tangled up with community engagement projects within the field of heritage studies. Overall, it aims to advance theoretical, methodological and political reflections upon com…

Methods in Motion
While this chapter acknowledges the debt owed to studies of the representational, its primary purpose is to argue that much is overlooked by such analyses for the construction of meaning in the semiotic landscapes of heritage. Instead, the chapter points to styles of research practice that capture the essences of encounters and engagement in moments of emergent meaning within the affective and representational milieu of heritage. The chapter argu…
Community-based Heritage Management
Heritage sites regarded as important are safely managed by the state, voluntary or private sectors but the majority of sites, despite statutory protection, remain unrecognised and without a role in their host communities. New schemes such as the Local Heritage Initiative in the UK aim to encourage communities to recognise their heritage assets and in managing them effectively to contribute to their preservation. With reference to the case of Neth…
The Popularity of Integration Models, 1980–1985
Farnsworth's five integration models were used to categorize integration articles published in the Journal of Psychology and Theology between 1980 and 1985. In addition, the graduate education of article authors was examined to determine if educational background influenced integration approach. Of the 177 articles reviewed, 52 reported research and 76 were considered integration articles. Results of the review indicate that one integration model…
