Queer Migration and Drag in Japan

Queer Migration and Drag in Japan

Phillip Hughes

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Queer Migration and Drag in Japan: Queering Identity, Participation and Belonging explores how queer migration intersects with drag performance in Japan, illuminating the intricate interplay between gender, embodiment, and identity.The book follows migrant drag artists as they build lives and stages in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Drawing on interviews, ethnography, and collaborative tojisha research, the book explores questions of identity and belonging, and traces how performers – by shifting between insider and outsider positions – reclaim the “gaijin” (foreigner) label, navigate rigid work–family structures, and build coalitions linking Japan’s bars to a booming global drag economy. It offers a fresh, accessible entry point into urgent debates about identity, belonging, and demographic change in contemporary Japan.Queer Migration and Drag in Japan: Queering Identity, Participation and Belonging is ideal for both students and researchers in gender studies, migration, Japanese studies, and performance studies.

Spiritual Wellness and the Built Environment

Spiritual Wellness and the Built Environment

Phillip James Tabb

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
Imagine a world where buildings and cities actively nurture our well-being, not just physically but spiritually. There is a growing awareness of the need for a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to wellness strategies in everyday life. This book explores spiritual wellness as a foundational attribute of urban planning and design with the hope of influencing a more flourishing trajectory of development with the built environment. Chapters reflect the beginning of this evolving movement in home and community design that tackles our uniquely modern problems of sedentary lives, unhealthy diets, stress, social isolation, pollution, nature deprivation, and inaccessibility to spiritually nurturing places. The attributes of spiritual wellness are presented as defining characteristics informing design strategies. These specific planning and design strategies are presented through case studies from around the globe that highlight the importance of spiritual wellness considerations at all scales of the built environment, from rooms to cities. This book is essential to help architects, planners, designers, engineers, healthcare providers, project stakeholders, and graduate students embrace and implement a successful wellness design approach.

Understanding Structural Equation Models

Understanding Structural Equation Models

Phillip K. Wood

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
The field of structural equation models (SEMs) is rapidly expanding. A researcher who wants to select and apply SEMs to their data faces several challenges: (1) They can often become extremely complex, with many parameters to estimate. Small samples or those with relatively few variables often cannot support this complexity reliably, leading to under-identified models, poor power, or unstable estimates; (2) Researchers must choose an appropriate measurement model, and these choices are not often well understood in advance; (3) No single “correct” SEM exists, although “better” ones do, and the existence of competing plausible alternatives is often overlooked; and (4) Critical examination of model assumptions involving the linearity of parameters and the existence of influential or outlying observations is often overlooked. This book provides an overview of SEMs as a flexible, skeptical, and iterative scientific process. Key Features: Emphasis on multiverse analysis, right-sizing statistical models to data, and the generation of plausible skeptical alternatives Robust assumption checking (LOESS regression, regression and SEM diagnostics) Detailed, visual coverage of a variety of path diagrams, their links to matrix-based specifications, and data exploration using heat-map visualization and tests of dimensionality A variety of SEMs including mediational models, psychometrics (e.g., parallel, tau-equivalent, congeneric measurement), growth curve models, exploratory factor analysis, multigroup, categorical, and exploratory structural equation modeling This text is designed for graduate students, early-career researchers, and advanced undergraduates who wish to move beyond plug-and-play SEMs to a deeper, more philosophical and data-conscious understanding. Its careful balance of theory, worked examples, and emphasis on skepticism will help its audience build confidence in using SEMs flexibly and responsibly for a broad range of social and behavioral science research.

Underwater Hotels

Underwater Hotels

Phillip Vannini; April Vannini

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
This book chronicles the first research project ever conducted at underwater hotels. Narrating fascinating tales from underwater hotels and shedding light on the provocative perspectives of their designers and temporary inhabitants, this imaginative sensory ethnography will enchant and surprise at every turn, leading readers to wonder whether we humans belong underwater. Through their peculiar and captivating narratives featuring inquisitive manta rays, nosey trumpet fish, industrious corals, and pizza-delivering SCUBA divers, the authors show how modern-day Atlantis is now a fully realized utopia with the potential to redefine where else we humans can live, and how else we can relate to our watery planet and its multiple aquatic lives. The book appeals to students and researchers in geography, more-than-human studies, architecture, and tourism studies. In doing so, it challenges us to re-envision not only the borders of contemporary tourism and underwater travel but the very essence of humans as more-than-terrestrial beings.

Anglican Confirmation 1945–2000

Anglican Confirmation 1945–2000

Phillip Tovey

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
The focus of this book is the theology, liturgy and practice of Anglican Confirmation from 1945 to 2000. It is the third book in a series on Anglican Confirmation. The first chapters look at confirmation on a global and ecumenical level. How have questions about the place and performance of confirmation changed? Then there is a series of case studies from North America, Europe and the wider world. Two chapters are on the theology and practice of the Church of England. Attention is given to liturgical reform, theological discussion and practice, including statistics. In some chapters there are case studies of individual dioceses or bishops to give snapshots of theology in action. This book uses innovative visualization techniques to present data and uses textual network analysis to map the interrelationships of provinces at a liturgical level. The ecumenical ‘baptismal unity’ agenda from Vatican 2 and the World Council of Churches underlies the theological critique. This will be of great value to those in liturgical studies, church history, Anglican studies and to all bishops and clergy involved in confirmation.

Travel Writing in Mongolia and Northern China, 1860-2020

Travel Writing in Mongolia and Northern China, 1860-2020

Phillip Marzluf

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
Travel Writing in Mongolia and Northern China, 1860-2020 invites readers to explore Mongolia as an important cultural space for Western travelers and their audiences over three historical eras. Travelers have framed their experiences and observations through imaginative geographies and Orientalizing discourses, fixing Mongolia as a peripheral, timeless, primitive, and parochial place. Readers can examine the travelers’ literary and rhetorical strategies as they make themselves more credible and authoritative and as they identify themselves with Mongolians and Mongolian culture or, conversely, distance themselves. In this book, readers can also approach travel writing from the perspective of women travelers, Mongolian socialist intellectuals, twenty-first-century travelers, and a Han Chinese writer, Jiang Rong, who promotes cultural harmony yet anticipates the disappearance of Mongolian culture in China.
