Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. The key to informed practice and intervention in social work lies in building and establishing a base that comprises of deliberations on theory, positions and movements. They play a key role in taking studied positions and cultivated interventions that then reflect the epistemic maturity of the profession mirroring onto praxis. This book attempts to bring together on one platform theories, positions and movements that influence the episteme of social work. The commencing point is the domain of social theorising from positivism to postmodernism. This is followed by positions offered by religion and faith and the deliberations in that realm. The third aspect is the modern and postcolonial realm falling within which are discussions on social reform, Gandhian thought and nationalism as also deliberations on social justice and human rights. Movements entail subaltern voices and praxis commencing with Dalit and tribal movements, transnational and indigenous discourses in the women s movement, queer theorisations and movements of alternative sexuality, discourses on ecology and disability. Finally, the attempt is to link discussions on theory, positions, movements and social work perspectives ranging from charity to critical practice. The book thus presents a comprehensive view of social theorisation, positions and movements that interface with social work and lend to a consolidation of perspectives. It would serve as reference material for graduate students in social work.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction: Gurus, sociality, Hegemony, and social transformation. 2. Guru agency: combining Charisma, teachings, and proliferation. 3. Faith movements: negotiating state, market, and civil society. 4. Faith networks: interplaying social issues, action, and service. 5. Faith in practice: tangibility of social service. 6. Faith trappings: shades of hegemony and Hindu Nationalism. 7. Transformational actors: private and public agendas. 8. Actors in social transformation: deliberating on a model. References. Index. This book examines the role of Hindu-inspired Faith Movements (HIFMs) as actors in social transformation. HIFMs have emerged as important actors in the modern civil society. In the contemporary Indian neo-liberal and postmodern scenario, HIFMs realize themselves by making public assertions through service or seva. Four pillars of HIFMs contemporary presence are Gurus, sociality, hegemony and social transformation. Gurus, who spearhead these movements, create a matrix of possible meanings in their public discourses. This allows their followers to pick up the required ingredients that aid transformation. Sociality, the tangible part of which is social service, is essentially seen as one core strategy of proliferation across HIFMs. Social service of the HIFMs spans and accommodates several domains. Service is further qualified by memories of the guru or his/her expansive agency. Remembrance of the Guru or his/her expansive agency. Remembrance of the guru is a catalyst for social action and demonstrates a preference for principles such as human rights, peace and justice, which the gurus are believed to embody. Hegemony is reflected in the fact that HIFMs social service ominously foreshadows the Hindutva doctrine. HIFMs essentially propose a model of Hindu inspired social transformation, which proposes a redeeming intervention of faith building into and transforming the civil society. (jacket).…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Spiritual Ecology and Ecotheology: This work is based on a study of four contemporary Indic organisations within the purview of Hinduism in terms of their perspectives on ecological consciousness, ecological initiatives and micro and macro implications of perspectives and initiatives. The basic purpose is to see how spiritual and religious consciousness influences ecological consciousness. The pragmatic value of the exploration lies in providing a new insight to ecological consciousness (of the influence of religious and spiritual consciousness within the purview of Hinduism on ecological consciousness) in the wake of the current ecological crisis. The core finding is that sacralisation of nature is viewed as an ecologically viable proposition to combat the present day ecological crisis - sacralisation as instrumental in nature preservation, also bringing in dimensions of embedded morality in human nature relationships, soul-cosmos relations as revealing the individual being as the microcosm of the macrocosmic universe and the universe as a manifestation of the Ultimate Reality. 208 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The interface of ageing and spirituality is a postulate that deems empirical investigation. This monograph is based on a study of 906 ageing respondents in Mumbai, India, on their constructions of meaning of spirituality, spiritual beliefs, practices, experiences, involvement in spiritual organisations and perceived influences of spirituality on various dimensions of the ageing process. Spirituality was perceived to provide support, aid relationship building and maintenance, facilitate coping with stress and ideas and issues in relation to death and dying. Further it was also viewed as enabling deconstruction of popular notions of ageing, provide a pathway to soul liberation and detachment/ disengagement as a precursor to well being in late life. The study submits that the findings have implications for epistemology of social gerontology in terms of insertions of spirituality facets and for praxis in terms of cognisance of the quintessentiality of spiritually inclined social work practice with ageing individuals. 180 pp. Englisch.…
