Download or read book Body and Text Cultural Transformations in New Media Environments written by David Callahan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-10 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of academic essays that take a fresh look at content and body transformation in the new media, highlighting how old hierarchies and canons of analysis must be revised. The movement of narratives and characterisations across forms, conventionally understood as adaptation, has commonly involved high-status classical forms (drama, epic, novel) being transformed into recorded and broadcast media (film, radio and television), or from the older recorded media to the newer ones. The advent of convergent digital platforms has further transformed hierarchies, and the formation of global conglomerates has created the commercial conditions for ever more lucrative exchanges between different media. Now source texts can move in any direction and take up any configuration, as emerging interacting fan bases drive innovation and new creative and commercial possibilities are deployed. Moreover, transformation may be not just a technology-driven creative practice and response, but at the very centre of the thematic worlds developed in those forms of story-telling which are currently popular: television series, video games, films and novels. The magic transformation of “your” money into “their” money is paralleled in contemporary media and culture by the centrality of transformation of one product to another as a media industry practice, as well as the transformation of bodies as a major theme both in the ensuing media products and in people’s identity practices in daily life.

Download or read book LEVEL 6 Week Body Transformation Protocol written by Enrico Argentin and published by Enrico Argentin. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the free sample, subscribe to LEVEL to receive the official LEVEL eBook with all the workout secrets and recipes. LEVEL is the first and only training protocol that will allow you to lose weight and tone up your body in just 6 weeks. After hearing requests from my customers, I realised that the perfect body does not exist. Still, everyone agrees their dream is having a slim and athletic one. I created LEVEL mixing the best weight-loss and toning-up techniques, based on both scientific literature and first-hand experience gained with my clients in the last few years. LEVEL workout is grounded in an idea of levels I learnt when I used to dance, which is common in a series of artistic settings. Every performance is articulated in two or more levels to ensure more completeness and profundity. This holds true when creating a painting, for example. My intuition was to embed such concept into my workouts as well. The benefits obtainable thanks to the LEVEL system are: improvement of the cardiovascular capacity, reduction of the fat mass and increase of the lean body mass. This last aspect concerns especially women afflicted with circulatory problems or cellulite.

Download or read book Bodies in the Making written by Nancy N. Chen and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty-first century, the body is experienced less as a fixed entity than it is as a protean product and a project of technological, medical and artistic invention. The essays in Bodies in the Making: Transgressions and Transformations address the proliferation of such transformative practices as tattooing, piercing, self-cutting, cosmetic and transsexual surgery, prosthetics, organ transplants and life extension technologies. Establishing links among these varied practices, the contributors illuminate the dramatic and widespread changes that have taken place across generations in attitudes towards the relation of the body to the mind, to agency and to subjectivity. Bodies in the Making also addresses a paradox that has shaped recent body modification debates. Although physical transformations are usually experienced as self-expressive and libratory, they are frequently understood to be socially determined, economically driven and culturally enmeshed. Contributors to the volume engage this contradiction directly, exploring ways in which diverse body practices are capable of subverting power while also at times re-inscribing it.

Download or read book Body Transformation Manual written by Sean Lerwill and published by Haynes Publishing UK. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body transformations are the most sought-after type of training in the fitness world. It is now understood by the leading magazines, gym chains and industry as a whole, that training for a marathon, getting into swimming or general exercise (like squash) will not give people the bikini body or rippling six pack they would like. The simple truth is that the task is challenging and exercise is actually only about one-third of the battle. This manual gives you the information to get the exercise bit right, as well as how to manage the nutrition, sleep and stress that goes into the other, arguably more important, two-thirds. The Body Transformation Manual includes: A complete step-by-step workout plan Basic nutritional information to help you understand what you really need Explanation of when and what to eat to maximize fat loss and muscle gain Advice, tips and experience from a top London trainer Male and female specifics Proven methods from the author, and his pointers on the best methods utilized by others List of equipment needed Weight-training protocols explained Interval training (HIIT) over slow runs (LISS) explained
Download or read book Self Transformations written by Cressida J. Heyes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heyes' monograph in feminist philosophy is on the connection between the idea of "normalization"--which per Foucault is a mode or force of control that homogenizes a population--and the gendered body. Drawing on Foucault and Wittgenstein, she argues that the predominant picture of the self--a picture that presupposes an "inner" core of the self that is expressed, accurately or not, by the outer body--obscures the connection between contemporary discourses and practices of self-transformation and the forces of normalization. In other words, pictures of the self can hold us captive when they are being read from the outer self--the body--rather than the inner self, and we can express our inner self by working on our outer body to conform. Articulating this idea with a mix of the theoretical and the practical, she looks at case studies involving transgender people, weight-loss dieting, and cosmetic surgery. Her concluding chapters look at the difficult issue of how to distinguish non-normalizing practices of the self from normalizing ones, and makes suggestions about how feminists might conceive of subjects as embodied and enmeshed in power relations yet also capable of self-transformation. The subject of normalization and its relationship to sex/gender is a major one in feminist theory; Heyes' book is unique in her masterful use of Foucault; its clarity, and its sophisticated mix of the theoretical and the anecdotal. It will appeal to feminist philosophers and theorists.
