The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781351233392, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.This volume examines the ways in which people engage with therapeutic practices, such as life coaching, mindfulness, complementary and alternative medicine, sex and relationship counselling, spiritual healing and self-tracking. It investigates how human and non-human actors, systems of thought and practice are assembled and interwoven in therapeutic engagements, and traces the situated, material and political dimensions of these engagements. By focusing on lived experiences through ethnographically informed case studies, the book elucidates the diverse forms, meanings and embodied effects of therapeutic engagements in different settings, as well as their potential for both oppressive and subversive social change. In this way, Assembling Therapeutics contributes to our understanding of multiple modes of healing, self-knowledge and power in contemporary societies.

This book examines civic activism, democratization and gender in contemporary Russian society. It describes the character and central organizing principles of Russian democratic civic life, considering how it has developed since the Soviet period, and analyzing the goals and identities of important civic groups - including trade unions - and the meanings they have acquired in the context of wider Russian society. In particular, Suvi Salmenniemi investigates the gender dimensions, both masculine and feminine, of socio-political participation in Russia, considering what kinds of gendered meanings are given to civic organizations and formal politics, and how femininity and masculinity are represented in this context. Exploring the role of state institutions in the development of democratic civic life, the volume shows how, under the increasingly authoritarian Putin regime and its policy of ‘managed democracy’, independent civic activism is both thriving yet at the same constrained. Based on extensive fieldwork research, it provides much needed information on how Russians themselves view these developments, both from the perspective of civic activists and the local authorities.

Social differentiation, poverty and the emergence of the newly rich occasioned by the collapse of the Soviet Union have seldom been analysed from a class perspective. Rethinking Class in Russia addresses this absence by exploring the manner in which class positions are constructed and negotiated in the new Russia. Bringing an ethnographic and cultural studies approach to the topic, this book demonstrates that class is a central axis along which power and inequality are organized in Russia, revealing how symbolic, cultural and emotional dimensions are deeply intertwined with economic and material inequalities. Thematically arranged and presenting the latest empirical research, this interdisciplinary volume brings together work from both Western and Russian scholars on a range of spheres and practices, including popular culture, politics, social policy, consumption, education, work, family and everyday life. By engaging with discussions in new class analysis and by highlighting how the logic of global neoliberal capitalism is appropriated and negotiated vis-Ã -vis the Soviet hierarchies of value and worth, this book offers a multifaceted and carefully contextualized picture of class relations and identities in contemporary Russia and makes a contribution to the theorisation of class and inequality in a post-Cold War era. As such it will appeal to those with interests in sociology, anthropology, geography, political science, gender studies, Russian and Eastern European studies, and media and cultural studies.

This book contributes to research on therapeutic culture by drawing on longstanding ethnographic work and by offering a new theoretical reading of therapeutic culture in today's society. It suggests that the therapeutic field serves as a key site in which a number of contradictions of capitalism are confronted and lived out. It shows that therapeutic engagements are inherently ambivalent and contradictory, as they can be articulated and engaged with in many different ways and harnessed for diverse, and often contradictory, political projects. The book takes issue with the interpretation of therapeutic culture as merely individualising, depoliticizing and working in congruence with neoliberalism, and shows that therapeutic engagements may also open up a space for contestation and critique of neoliberal capitalism, animate collective action for social change and articulate alternative forms of life and subjectivities. The book will speak to a wide variety of audiences in the social sciences and will be of particular interest to those working in the fields of sociology, anthropology, critical psychology, cultural studies, gender studies, and critical social theory.

Poliittisessa puheessa tulevaisuus hahmottuu usein synkkänä ja vaihtoehdottomana. Vaikeat yhteiskunnalliset kysymykset etenevästä ekokriisistä ja kasvavasta yhteiskunnallisesta eriarvoisuudesta eivät ole helposti ratkaistavissa. Tarvitaan kokonaan uudenlaista ajattelua.Arkipäivän utopiat esittää toisenlaisten maailmojen kuvittelukyvyn yhteiskunnallisen muutoksen voimana. Teos antaa työkaluja ja tukea dystooppisen poliittisen keskustelun taltuttamiseen ja toivon luomiseen. Vaihtoehtoisia työn, talouden ja ajan järjestyksiä eletään todeksi monin tavoin jo nyt. Miten kehittää toimintatapoja ja käsitteitä kestävämpään elämäntapaan? Miten vahvistaa tulevaisuususkoa ja yhteistä toimijuutta nykyisessä, usein pessimistisessä keskustelussa maailmassa, jota hallitsevat monenlaiset yhteiskunnalliset epävarmuudet? Miten ylläpitää toivoa? Millaisia utopioita toteutetaan taiteessa, pedagogiikassa ja erilaisissa yhteisöissä?

Venäjän historiaa on kirjoitettu paljolti suurmiesten näkökulmasta, mutta kuka tuntee naisten historiaa? Miten naiset ovat vaikuttaneet Venäjällä 1700-luvulta nykypäivään? Teos valottaa Venäjän historiaa lokakuun vallankumouksesta Pussy Riotiin, Katariina Suuren valtakaudesta Venäjän uusrikkaisiin liikenaisiin sekä kirjallisuussalongeista ja babuskojen mökeistä Kremlin kabinetteihin. Se esittelee taiteen, tieteen, uskonnon, talouselämän ja politiikan naisvaikuttajia ja kysyy, miten he ovat kulloinkin hakeneet omaa paikkaansa yhteiskunnassa ja mikä heidän kokemuksiaan yhdistää ja erottaa eri aikoina. Yksittäisten naisten elämäntarinat sijoittuvat keskeisiä historiallisia tapahtumia vasten. Näin teos rakentaa monimuotoisen kuvan historiankirjoituksessa usein näkymättömäksi jääneistä ihmisistä ja ilmiöistä sekä samalla auttaa ymmärtämään venäläistä yhteiskuntaa ja mielenmaisemaa. Teos on suunnattu Venäjän historiasta ja naishistoriasta kiinnostuneille, mutta se soveltuu lukemiseksi myös kulttuurihistoriaan, sukupuolentutkimukseen, yhteiskuntatieteisiin ja Venäjän tutkimukseen.

Suomalaiset tutkijat esittelevät 2000-luvun Venäjää sosiaalisten verkostojen näkökulmasta. Tiukentuneen valtiovallan myötä suhteet ovat jälleen tärkeitä. Samalla markkinatalous, kansainvälistyminen, informaatioteknologia ja yksityiselämän kaupallistuminen muuntavat verkostojen toimintaehtoja. Teoksessa painotetaan erityisesti epävirallisten ja intiimien suhteiden merkitystä eri elämänalueilla. Tarkastelun kohteena ovat esimerkiksi henkilösuhteet venäläisessä liike-elämässä ja kansalaisjärjestöissä, yhteistoiminta pietarilaisissa kerrostaloissa sekä sukupuolten ja sukupolvien väliset suhteet. Suhteiden Venäjä tarjoaa arvokasta tietoa Venäjällä työskenteleville, opiskelijoille, matkailijoille sekä kaikille, jotka haluavat perehtyä venäläiseen yhteiskuntaan. Valokuvat Pietarin kaupungin arjesta elävöittävät teosta.
