Download or read book Stuck Moving written by Peter Benson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "AUTHOR'S NOTE: This book is unconventional. A self-conscious experiment in form that draws together two vernaculars: anthropological thought and the pop culture of my youth. It is a fraught exercise. I write as a White guy about angst and alienation in the privileged spaces of anthropology and higher education. I appreciate the irony. I hope nonetheless that my experiences with and critical perspectives on social conventions, the culture of liberalism, and ableism in academia might be useful. I seek to expand possibilities of anthropological representation while challenging epistemological, aesthetic, and professional norms in my discipline. It bothers me that anthropology can be so sanctimonious. I take aim at the ableist conceit that anthropologists are non-characters studying a messy world. Much of my life has been a mess. My work has been undertaken amid struggles with pregnancy loss, bipolar disorder, and drug addiction. I have deep regrets about my participation in an exploitative field. I have deep regrets about many things. I have hurt people and been hurt by people. I hope my stories and reflections add to what others have already written about a more open, honest, and self-deprecating anthropology"--

Download or read book Design Gamification and Usability Affecting Social Change for LGBTQIA People written by Tim Broadwater and published by Tim Broadwater. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media overgeneralization fosters a lack of connectedness, socialization, and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) community. Persons of the LGBTQIA community are very much impacted by design campaigns, and by examining the communication strategies that occur within specific campaigns, potential solutions can be discovered to positively impact the community’s perception. Visual communicators are well equipped with design skillsets to develop and prototype experiences to benefit the LGBTQIA community; likewise, visual communicators possess comparable skillsets to gamification practitioners, which use game mechanics and game thinking to engage users to solve problems. Furthermore, it’s possible to utilize design, gamification, and usability principles in the context of a group participatory medium, rather than sole-interactive medium, to develop an effective model to affect social change. A group participatory medium, such as a cooperative tabletop game, can be deigned to facilitate learning opportunities – through a combination of European user interface (UI) and American user experience (UX) design principles – to advance acceptance, connectedness, and understanding. Therefore, by employing design, gamification, and usability principles through an iterative design process – one that encompasses usability testing or ‘play testing’ – it’s possible to develop a cooperative experience that facilitates understanding of LGBTQIA people.
Download or read book The Pope of Palm Beach written by Tim Dorsey and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Florida’s king of mayhem—"compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny" (Boston Globe) New York Times bestselling author Tim Dorsey—comes a diabolically madcap adventure featuring the indomitable Serge A. Storms. No one worships the Sunshine State as much as Serge A. Storms. Perpetually hunting Floridian arcana and lore, he and his permanently baked sidekick, Coleman, are on the road again. This time they’re on a frenzied literary pilgrimage that leads them back to Riviera Beach, the cozy seaside town where the boys spent their formative years. Growing up, Serge was enthralled by the Legend of Riviera Beach, aka Darby, a welder at the port who surfed the local waves long before the hot spots were hot. A god on the water, the big-hearted surfer was a friend to everyone—the younger surfers, cops, politicians, wealthy businessmen and ordinary Joes—a generosity of spirit that earned him the admiration of all. Meanwhile, there was a much murkier legend that made the rounds of the schoolyards from Serge’s youth—that of the crazy hermit living in a makeshift jungle compound farther up the mysterious Loxahatchee River than anyone dared to venture. Then Serge moved away. But never forgot. Now he’s back, with those legends looming larger than ever in the rearview mirror of his memory. As his literary odyssey moves north from Key West, closer and closer to his old stomping grounds, Serge digs into the past as only Serge can. Along the way, he unintentionally disturbs some long-forgotten ground, attracting the attention of a cast of villains that only Florida can produce. As the body count grows, so does the list of questions: Why are the guys in the hard hats worried about the monkeys? When do you hack a motel air-conditioner? How does Coleman get high with cat toys? Who is expecting the dildo? And will book tours ever be the same after Serge decides to check one out? Told in alternating flashbacks between Serge and Coleman’s childhoods and the present day, The Pope of Palm Beach is a witty and deliciously violent delight from the twisted imagination of Tim Dorsey.
