The Routledge Handbook of Human Rights in Southeast Asia analyses some of the region’s most pressing human rights issues, while…
also giving attention to those actors and institutions that work towards improvement.Chapters by international experts in the field provide readers with a background on some of Southeast Asia’s most pressing human rights concerns. The book builds on, and contributes to, existing analyses of human rights in Southeast Asia to further enhance our understanding of what sits behind the region’s ambivalent human rights track record. Following an introduction, the handbook is structured in eight parts. The chapters cover a wide range of human rights issues including human rights debates at political and regional levels, and how human rights are experienced every day, such as the rights to food, water, and work: Advancing Human Rights through ASEAN Refugees: Protecting Rights and Strengthening Agency Transitional Justice in Southeast Asia: Confronting the Past Balancing Moral Perspectives: Ideologies and Human Rights Intersections between Workers’ Rights, Corporations and the State Accessing and Maintaining Rights to Water, Food, and Health On the Frontline: Human Rights Defenders Promoting Human Rights in Southeast Asia: New Directions and Strategies The handbook considers the political and social contexts in which human rights emerge, the dynamics of their contestation and violation, and how rights are claimed. It demonstrates that human rights are a practice and goes beyond considering human rights as formal structures in laws, regulations, and meeting rooms. A timely overview and analysis of the situation of Human Rights in Southeast Asia, this handbook will be a valuable reference work for scholars and practitioners in human rights, the field of Asian Law, Asian Studies in general and Southeast Asian Studies in particular.Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www .taylorfrancis .com under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book rethinks the boundaries of transitional justice, urging scholars and practitioners to confront the often-overlooked nexus between mass violence…
and ecological harm.Through an in-depth analysis of the field’s limitations – such as its anthropocentric legalism, neocolonial practices, and alignment with neoliberalism – the book critiques the historical marginalisation of Nature in transitional justice discourse and practice. It argues that ignoring environmental harm not only undermines the possibility of holistic justice but also perpetuates structural violence and inequality. In response, the book sketches a ‘greener’ transitional justice, integrating principles from environmental justice, Indigenous knowledge systems, and ecocentric perspectives. It explores the possibilities of recognising Nature as a victim of mass violence, adapting existing mechanisms to incorporate environmental harm, and fostering transformative approaches premised on the interdependence of human and ecological well-being.This book is written for students, researchers, and practitioners of transitional justice and fields related to conflict transformation, peacebuilding, environmental protection, and development.

Videogames and Metareference is the first edited collection to investigate the rise of metareference in videogames from an interdisciplinary perspective.Bringing…
together a group of distinguished scholars from various geographic and disciplinary backgrounds, the book combines in-depth theoretical reflection with a diverse selection of case studies in order to explore how metareference manifests itself in and around a broad range of videogames (from indie to AAA), while also asking what cultural work the videogames in question accomplish in the process. The carefully curated chapters not only provide much-needed expansions and revisions of a concept that was at least initially derived mainly from literary studies but also cover a broad range of videogame genres, discuss the evolution of metareference across videogame history as well as the functions it fulfills in different sociocultural contexts, and scrutinize metareferential elements and examples that have hitherto received little attention.This book with its interdisciplinary scope will appeal to scholars and students within game studies and game design as well as, more broadly, scholars and students within literary studies, media studies, popular culture studies, and digital culture studies.

This book presents the work of the eminent British-American psychologist, Maureen O’Hara. It explores the trajectory of humanistic psychology over…
the last few decades, providing a link between its original proponents, notably Carl Rogers, and its contemporary manifestations.The text reproduces 18 of O’Hara’s original papers arranged in six parts, each of which reflects a significant area in which she has contributed her rigorous analysis and creative thinking, i.e., the person-centred approach, humanistic psychology, third force science, client-centred therapy, psychology futures, and education. A unique feature of the book is a series of dialogues about O’Hara’s contributions in each of these areas with the book’s editor, Keith Tudor. The dialogues reveal not only O’Hara’s reflections on and further thinking about each area of her contributions, but also how prescient her analysis was, and how contemporary and relevant her thinking still is.Bringing together a collection of O’Hara’s works to a broader audience, this book will be of interest to humanistic psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as those studying and/or training in this field.

Black Mirror: Allegories for the Atomised addresses the ways that media and communications technologies shape our relationships with society, with…
others, and ultimately, with ourselves.The main themes and discussions of this book are inspired by the imaginative storytelling and self-reflecting, wry, textual strategies and representations found in the Channel 4/Netflix global hit, Black Mirror – a key touchstone in popular culture. Moving beyond the conventional parameters of Television Studies scholarship, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach informed through depth- and Self-psychology, Science Fiction Studies, Science and Technology Studies, communitarian ethics, and the Philosophy of Technology. Greg Singh conducts a critical inquiry into those aspects of memory, identity, surveillance, simulation, and gamification prevalent in the series, which shape our reality and call into question our assumed notions of personhood.This unique interdisciplinary examination of the cult series will appeal to scholars, students, and fans alike in the fields of film and television studies, philosophy, depth, and humanistic psychology.

This book argues that the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) should reconsider its approach to hate speech cases and…
develop a robust protection of freedom of expression as set out in the benchmark case of Handyside v the United Kingdom. In that case, the ECtHR determined that Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), safeguarding the right to freedom of expression, extends protection not only to opinions which are well received but also to those deemed offensive, shocking, or disturbing. However, subsequent rulings by the Court have generated a significant amount of contradictory case law. Against this backdrop, this book provides an analysis of hate speech case law before the ECtHR and the now-obsolete European Commission on Human Rights. Through a jurisprudential analysis, it is argued that these institutions have adopted an overly restrictive approach to hate speech, which fails to provide adequate protection of the right to freedom of expression. It also demonstrates that there are stark inconsistencies when it comes to the treatment of some forms of ‘hate speech’ versus others. The study further contends that, in reaching its decisions on hate speech cases, the Court disregards empirical evidence on matters related to free speech restrictions. Viewing the ECHR as a ‘living instrument,’ the book places this analysis within the current state of affairs vis-à-vis the handling of hate speech, particularly online, by European countries, the European Union itself and social media platforms, actions which the author argues are contributing to a free speech demise. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policymakers working in the area of law, political science, European studies and sociology.

reduce distress related to voice hearing, and improve experiences of supportive approaches.This book presents a Tripartite Relationship Theory, which conceptualises experiences of voice hearing within voice hearer-voice practitioner (or other supporters) relationships. The first part of this book centres on theoretical aspects of the approach, emphasising voice hearers’ internal relational experiences with voices and their relational experiences with practitioners, set against a backdrop of mental healthcare, as a way of understanding voice hearing experiences. Shaped by this theoretical relational framework, the second part of this book provides readers with a practical application of how to support voice hearers to feel safe during times of distress, how to nurture helpful relationships, how to understand voice hearing experiences in relation to their life story, and how to “talk with” and “mark-make” with voices.This book will be accessible to voice hearers, practitioners, and supporters. It provides a framework for understanding the felt experience of voice hearing and how to influence positive change and better relationships with self and voices.

Writing Borderless Histories of Art is an aspirational, historical, and critical project that offers a fundamental rethinking of the relationship…
of humans to the rest of nature.Social justice, Indigeneity, abuses of power, and the environmental crisis are the burning issues of today. A transcultural approach calls for abandoning structures of domination that are built into the academic disciplines, regardless of the scale or extent of interpretation. Drawing upon writings from a wide range of fields, Claire Farago argues that Art History can play a role in advancing the public's interconnectedness with the planetary life-support system that so urgently needs to be restored. Studying the discourse on art at the intersection of global capitalism, environmental degradation, and human subjection over four centuries, Writing Borderless Histories of Art advocates ontologies that do not distinguish between the sentience of humans and other animals and go beyond the dualistic metaphysics of the nature/culture divide.While this book is addressed to a wide audience, its multilayered approach also reaches out to art historians for whom chronology, canons, and style are structures fundamental to the organization and operation of the discipline. The book is neither a history of ideas nor a search for the origins of art history, but a recognition of the structures that drive its narratives.
