Download or read book Inside Killjoy s Kastle written by Allyson Mitchell and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of years of ridicule, persecution, erasure, misunderstanding, and institutionalization could put anyone in a bad mood. Killjoy invites you into her kastle for a queer exorcism and celebration of the past. Lesbian feminist histories can have a haunting effect on the present. This book explores the making and experience of Killjoy’s Kastle, an immersive walk-through installation and performance artwork (by Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue). Inspired by Evangelical Christian hell houses, the exhibition has been staged in three cities so far – Toronto, London, and Los Angeles – engaging thousands in interactive encounters with the spirits that haunt feminist and queer history. Where traditional hell houses set out to scare and convert, Killjoy’s Kastle cheekily aims to provoke and pervert. Inside Killjoy’s Kastle extends and reflects on the theoretical and political legacies of the installation in chapters by queer and feminist scholars and in vignettes by participating artists. The many colourful photos in the book also bring the kastle to life, offering an important visual context.

This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Natech symposium has been taking place since 2015, as an initiative of professors Naomi Kato, Shin-ichi Aoki and Ana María Cruz, from Osaka University and Kyoto University respectively. The primary objective of these symposiums has been the promotion of scientific and interdisciplinary exchange of experiences, risk assessment methods and innovative risk reduction measures that address Natech events (industrial accidents caused by large-scale natural events). In its different versions it has had researchers and participants from different countries, allowing the integration of initiatives and efforts that have been developed in this regard. The first symposium was held in March 2015 at Osaka University, and was entitled: International Symposium on Natural Disaster Impacts to Large Industrial Parks, it was funded by the Graduate School of Osaka University, the Airport and Port Research Institute (SIP), the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, and Kyoto University, in cooperation with the Calamity Science Institute.The second version of the event entitled: Activities of Research Initiatives for Natural Disaster Prevention of Oil and Gas Spill in Industrial Parks was held again at Osaka University in 2016. In March 2017, symposium number three was organized by the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI) and took place at Kyoto University. On this occasion, it was approached from the perspective of a workshop on Natech risk management tools, with the aim of making a practical demonstration of some tools available for Natech risk assessment, risk mitigation and emergency operations’ planning for various types of natural hazards. The workshop was attended by participants from 12 countries, including experts, students and stakeholders involved in Natech disaster risk reduction and similar topics. During 2018, the event moved to Ispra, Italy, where the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission and the University of Bologna were the hosts. On this occasion, the fourth event was named Natech Risk Reduction at Large Industrial Parks. The fifth version of the Natech symposium was held in 2021, again organized by Osaka University and Kyoto University. On this occasion, given the restrictions derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held virtually. Currently, the publication of two volumes in the IDRIM Springer Nature Book Series is being issued, which will be released by the end of 2022. This year (2022) Colombia was the host country of the sixth version of the Natech symposium, which was developed in a hybrid way (face-to-face and virtual), being the first time that this event is held in the American continent. On this occasion, the organizers of the event were the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD), Osaka University, Kyoto University and the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI). This event focused on the exchange of research experiences and lessons learned related to risk management of technological accidents triggered by natural events (Natech), for their understanding and approach in the Colombian territory.

Download or read book Carnal Resonance written by Susanna Paasonen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the modalities, affective intensities, and disturbing qualities of online pornography. Digital production tools and online networks have dramatically increased the general visibility, accessibility, and diversity of pornography. Porn can be accessed for free, anonymously, and in a seemingly endless range of niches, styles, and formats. In Carnal Resonance, Susanna Paasonen moves beyond the usual debates over the legal, political, and moral aspects of pornography to address online porn in a media historical framework, investigating its modalities, its affect, and its visceral and disturbing qualities. Countering theorizations of pornography as emotionless, affectless, detached, and cold, Paasonen addresses experiences of porn largely through the notion of affect as gut reactions, intensities of experience, bodily sensations, resonances, and ambiguous feelings. She links these investigations to considerations of methodology (ways of theorizing and analyzing online porn and affect), questions of materiality (bodies, technologies, and inscriptions), and the evolution of online pornography. Paasonen dicusses the development of online porn, focusing on the figure of the porn consumer, and considers user-generated content and amateur porn. She maps out the modality of online porn as hyperbolic, excessive, stylized, and repetitive, arguing that literal readings of the genre misunderstand its dynamics and appeal. And she analyzes viral videos and extreme and shock pornogaphy, arguing for the centrality of disgust and shame in the affective dynamics of porn. Paasonen's analysis makes clear the crucial role of media technologies—digital production tools and networked communications in particular—in the forms that porn takes, the resonances it stirs, and the experiences it makes possible.

This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The indiscriminate use of chemical substances in industrial processes and anthropogenic activities, have resulted in the release of these compounds into aquatic ecosystems through municipal, hospital and industrial discharges, producing various undesired effects on the environment and on species of ecological interest. These compounds, such as metals, pesticides, emerging pollutants and other substances are persistent and susceptible to biotic and/or abiotic transformations, yielding metabolites that can be more toxic than the original compounds. In this book, researchers from diverse environmental science disciplines share their experiences in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, and critically examine the problem of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems in Latin America, as well as the risks presented by their presence.
