Download or read book Remains of the Everyday written by Joshua Goldstein and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remains of the Everyday traces the changing material culture and industrial ecology of China through the lens of recycling. Over the last century, waste recovery and secondhand goods markets have been integral to Beijing’s economic functioning and cultural identity, and acts of recycling have figured centrally in the ideological imagination of modernity and citizenship. On the one hand, the Chinese state has repeatedly promoted acts of voluntary recycling as exemplary of conscientious citizenship. On the other, informal recycling networks—from the night soil carriers of the Republican era to the collectors of plastic and cardboard in Beijing’s neighborhoods today—have been represented as undisciplined, polluting, and technologically primitive due to the municipal government’s failure to control them. The result, Joshua Goldstein argues, is the repeatedly re-inscribed exclusion of waste workers from formations of modern urban citizenship as well as the intrinsic liminality of recycling itself as an economic process.

Download or read book Postcolonial Images of Spiritual Care written by Emmanuel Y. Lartey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology is about caring for all persons as a part of the revolutionary struggle against colonialism in its many forms. In recognition of the varied ways in which different forms of oppression, injustice, and violence in the world today are traceable to the legacy and continuing effects of colonialism, various authors have contributed to the volume from diverse backgrounds including differing ethnic identities, religious and cultural traditions, gender and sexual orientations, as well as communal and personal realities. As a postcolonial critique of spiritual care, it highlights the plurality of voices and concerns that have been overlooked or obscured because of the politics of race, religion, sexuality, nationalism, and other structures of power that have shaped what discursive spiritual care entails today. Postcolonial Images of Spiritual Care presents voices of practical and pastoral theologians, academics, spiritual care providers, religious leaders, students, and activists working to provide greater intercultural spiritual care and awareness in the areas of healthcare, community work, and education. The volume, as such, expands the discourse of spiritual care and participates in the ongoing paradigm shifts in the field of pastoral and practical theology.

Download or read book The 4D Printed Apocalypse written by Vlad Stoiculescu and published by Mondofy. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rejected suicide application, an insight from the devil's image consultant, and the ramblings of the dog who wiped out humanity. In other words, a brief collection of endings, penned by the ones who made them happen. Affectionately dubbed by their author „corporate sci-fi”, the stories in The 4D Printed Apocalypse are a blend of office humor, the absurd, and science fiction. While their genre may hit home with amateurs of magical realism and soft sci-fi fans, their topics will likely land on any conoisseur of the mundane. Penned between 2012 and 2016, these stories have never been officially published before, only reaching the awards and honorable mentions lists of a few UK and US competitions. Why now? Because the vanity of corporate life and tone-deaf songs of social media have reached their peak. And also, because the Apocalypse is slowly becoming a historical event.
