Expressive Iteration : Designing for Meaningful Routines
A ground-breaking guide to thinking about how routine activities can be designed and innovated to develop narrative meaning and a sense of purpose. Iteration is an integral part of daily routines, such as sleep-wake cycles, commuting, workouts, chores, or practising an instrument.While many iterations just monotonously repeat, others can lead to progression or evolution.With subtle variations among iterations, we can create meaning out of repetitive acts, forging narratives from them and thus making them meaningful to us.Chow draws on rhetoric, psychology, narratology, and design-thinking to show both in theory and in practice how we can innovate the design of mundane and routine activities to give them meaning and expression.He does so by examining Asian and European-originated examples, across a range of domains including visual arts, literature, digital art, video games, and mobile applications. A must-read for designers and enthusiasts looking for ways to innovate across all domains and media and transform tedious repetitive activities into acts of intention.

What Makes Life Meaningful? : A Debate
Can human life be meaningful? What does talk about life’s meaning even mean? What is God’s role, if any, in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of life’s meaning. In this wide-ranging scholarly conversation, Professors Thaddeus Metz and Joshua W.Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these questions, while responding to each other’s objections in a lively dialog format.Seachris argues that the concept of life’s meaning largely revolves around three interconnected ideas—mattering, purpose, and sense-making; that a meaningful human life involves sufficiently manifesting all three; and that God would importantly enhance the meaningfulness of life on each of these three fronts.Metz instead holds that talk of life’s meaning is about a variety of properties such as meriting pride, transcending one’s animal self, making a contribution, and authoring a life-story.For him, many lives are meaningful insofar as they exercise intelligence in positive, robust, and developmental ways.Finally, Metz argues that God is unnecessary for an objective meaning that suits human nature. Metz and Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these three questions, while responding to each other’s objections in a dialog format that is accessible to students though—given their new contributions—will be of great interest to scholars as well. Key Features Offers an up-to-date scholarly conversation on life’s meaning by two researchers at the forefront of research on the topic. Provides a wide-ranging, yet orderly discussion of the most important issues. Accessible for the student investigating the topic for the first time yet also valuable to the scholar working on life’s meaning. Includes helpful pedagogical features, like:- Chapter outlines and introductions;- Annotated reading lists for both students and research-level readers;- A glossary; and- Clear examples, thought experiments, narratives, and cultural references, which enhance the book’s role in thinking about life’s meaning and related topics.

Unearthing Forgotten Values : Toward a Meaningful Archaeological Practice
About 90 percent of archaeological activity in North America is driven by private-sector development.In the process, archaeology is often used to undermine the interests of those whose material culture it allegedly seeks to preserve and interpret.Unearthing Forgotten Values explores the disrespectful and ultimately unethical nature of much commercial archaeology – or cultural resource management – and proposes a praxis that puts Indigenous communities and their heritage first. Based on lengthy experience working with and within Indigenous communities in British Columbia and around the world, Sean P.Connaughton discusses such thorny issues as the meaning of decolonization, Indigenous land rights and sovereignty, the commodification of heritage, and state support for projects that will exacerbate climate change.Weaving together real-life stories, fieldwork, scholarship, data, introspection, and Indigenous values, Unearthing Forgotten Values charts a practical course for change.Professional archaeology will be the better for it.

This book is essential reading for students and practitioners of autoethnography and qualitative research internationally and others interested in identity transformation in narrative inquiry.
