Maurice Merleau-Ponty
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Routledge via the DOI in this record.This chapter brings together some of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s scattered remarks about emotions and integrate them with his more general claims about embodiment, mind, and self to illuminate his view of emotions. It argues that Merleau-Ponty defends an externalist approach anticipating current debates in philosophy of emotions. For Merleau-Ponty, emotions are embodied. This amounts to more than the trivial claim that emotions depend upon our brain and central nervous system. Merleau-Ponty’s view is, therefore, a kind of embodied externalism in that the vehicles of emotions span neural and extra-neural bodily processes. They are realized not just in but also across the body’s “expressive space”. Versions of this environmental externalism are found in recent debates about the scaffolded nature of affectivity and emotions. Merleau-Ponty appears amenable to at least two varieties of a scaffolded approach to emotions
Routledge Companion to Jane Austen
No full textFirst published anonymously, as ‘a lady’, Jane Austen is now among the world’s most famous and highly revered authors. The Routledge Companion to Jane Austen provides wide-ranging coverage of Jane Austen’s works, reception, and legacy, with chapters that draw on the latest literary research and theory and represent foundational and authoritative scholarship as well as new approaches to an author whose works provide seemingly endless inspiration for reinterpretation, adaptation, and appropriation. The Companion provides up-to-date work by an international team of established and emerging Austen scholars and includes exciting chapters not just on Austen in her time but on her ongoing afterlife, whether in the academy and the wider world of her fans or in cinema, new media, and the commercial world. Parts within the volume explore Jane Austen in her time and within the literary canon; the literary critical and theoretical study of her novels, unpublished writing, and her correspondence; and the afterlife of her work as exemplified in film, digital humanities, and new media. In addition, the Companion devotes special attention to teaching Jane Austen

Routledge Handbook of Urban Biodiversity
No full textThis handbook provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of the expanding field of urban biodiversity.
The field of urban biodiversity has emerged from within the broad discipline of urban ecology in the past two decades and is now a significant field in its own right. In view of this, the Routledge Handbook of Urban Biodiversity presents a thorough treatment of this field detailing the history of urban biodiversity, theoretical foundations, current state of knowledge, and application of that knowledge. The handbook is split into four parts:
Part I: Setting the Stage for Urban Biodiversity Research and Practice
Part II: Foundational Concepts and Theory in Urban Biodiversity Research
Part III: Population and Community Ecology of Key Urban Taxa
Part IV: Urban Biodiversity Practice: Management, Planning, and Design for Healthy Communities
This volume contains interdisciplinary and global contributions from established and early career academics as well as professionals and practitioners, addressing two key fields in urban biodiversity: fundamental research focused on answering questions about the mechanisms explaining the distribution of species among and within cities; and applied research and work by practitioners to address concerns about urban biodiversity conservation, restoration, planning, design, and public involvement.
This handbook is essential reading for students, academics, and professionals interested and working in the fields of urban biodiversity, ecology, nature conservation, urban planning, and landscape architecture
