Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2021Post-everything
An intellectual history of post-concepts
by Herman Paul, Adriaan van Veldhuizen
Postmodern, postcolonial and post-truth are broadly used terms. But where do they come from? When and why did the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms emerge? And who exactly were the 'post boys' responsible for this? Post-everything examines why post-Christian, post-industrial and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated, not only among academics, but also in the popular press. It delves into the historical roots of postmodern and poststructuralist, while also subjecting more recent post-constructions (posthumanist, postfeminist) to critical scrutiny. This study is the first to offer a comprehensive history of post-concepts. In tracing how these concepts found their way into a broad range of genres and disciplines, Post-everything contributes to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.

The ArtsSeptember 2024The renewal of post-war Manchester
Planning, architecture and the state
by Richard Brook
A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.

January 2025Post-harvest Management of Fruits and Plantation Crops
Volume 2, Applied Concepts
by W S Dhillon
Post harvest is the time that begins with separation of commodity from growing of production medium like fruits/ vegetables from the plants, fishes from ponds etc. The term post harvest technology means the use of science and technology for the management of food commodities including pre-cooling, grading, sorting, packaging, transportation, storage, processing, and development of improved product, preservation and marketing etc. The use of the information generated by the techniques of Post Harvest Technology can ensure greater availability of a wide variety of food to the consumers with reduced post harvest losses. Based on the importance of the post harvest technology in agriculture and allied sciences, it is presumed that all people engaged in agriculture should know about the various terminologies being used in post harvest technology. But to understand the various concepts, some sort of documentation is needed. A manuscript having such information would be the strongest link between the industry, academia and the consumers.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2022The power of citizens and professionals in welfare encounters
The influence of bureaucracy, market and psychology
by Nanna Mik-Meyer
This book is about power in welfare encounters. Present-day citizens are no longer the passive clients of the bureaucracy and welfare workers are no longer automatically the powerful party of the encounter. Instead, citizens are expected to engage in active, responsible and coproducing relationships with welfare workers. However, other factors impact these interactions; factors which often pull in different directions. Welfare encounters are thus influenced by bureaucratic principles and market values as well. Consequently, this book engages with both Weberian (bureaucracy) and Foucauldian (market values/NPM) studies when investigating the powerful welfare encounter. The book is targeted Academics, post-graduates, and undergraduates within sociology, anthropology and political science.

Disciplined agency
Neoliberal precarity, generational dispossession and call centre labour in Portugal
by Patrícia Alves de Matos
Since the mid-2000s, the harsh reality of call centre employment for a generation of young workers in Portugal has been impossible to ignore. With its endless rows of small cubicles, where human agents endure repetitive telephone conversations with abusive clients under invasive modes of technological surveillance, discipline and control, call centre work remains a striking symbol of labour precarity, a condition particularly associated with the neoliberal generational disenchantment that 'each generation does better than its predecessor'. This book describes the emergence of a regime of disciplined agency in the Portuguese call centre sector. Examining the ascendancy of call centres as icons of precarity in contemporary Portugal, this book argues that call centre labour constitutes a new form of commodification of the labouring subject. De Matos argues that call centres represent an advanced system of non-manual labour power exploitation, due to the underestimation of human creativity that lies at the centre of the regimented structures of call centre labour. Call centres can only guarantee profit maintenance, de Matos argues, through the commodification of the human agency arising from the operators' moral, relational and social embedded agentive linguistic interventions of creative improvisation, decision-making, problem-solving and ethical evaluation.

Agriculture & farmingNovember 2024Post-harvest Management of Fruits and Plantation Crops
Volume 1, Basic Concepts
by Wasakha Singh Dhillon
Post-harvest losses in horticultural crops is the burning issue, not only in India but at global level. Significant amount of produce is spoiled or wasted because of many factors starting from harvesting to handling, packaging, transportations, loading and unloading, storage, marketing and even during consumption. It is a big loss to the economy of the country when food is wasted after its production. In this book (Volume 1), an effort has been made to understand the reasons of losses and their management. The book contains chapters on basic knowledge to better understand the inherent factors affecting the shelf-life and quality of fruits.
