Download or read book Native and National in Brazil written by Tracy Devine Guzmán and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the lives of indigenous peoples relate to the romanticized role of "Indians" in Brazilian history, politics, and cultural production? Native and National in Brazil charts this enigmatic relationship from the sixteenth century to the present, focusing on the consolidation of the dominant national imaginary in the postindependence period and highlighting Native peoples' ongoing work to decolonize it. Engaging issues ranging from sovereignty, citizenship, and national security to the revolutionary potential of art, sustainable development, and the gendering of ethnic differences, Tracy Devine Guzman argues that the tensions between popular renderings of "Indianness" and lived indigenous experience are critical to the unfolding of Brazilian nationalism, on the one hand, and the growth of the Brazilian indigenous movement, on the other. Devine Guzmán suggests that the "indigenous question" now posed by Brazilian indigenous peoples themselves-how to be Native and national at the same time-can help us to rethink national belonging in accordance with the protection of human rights, the promotion of social justice, and the consolidation of democratic governance for indigenous and nonindigenous citizens alike.

Download or read book Beyond Globalization written by A. Aneesh and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does living in a globally networked society mean that we are moving toward a single, homogenous world culture? Or, are we headed for clashes between center and periphery, imperial and subaltern, Western and non-Western, First and Third World? The interdisciplinary essays in Beyond Globalization present us with another possibility—that new media will lead to new kinds of “worldmaking.” This provocative volume brings together the best new work of scholars within such diverse fields as history, sociology, anthropology, film, media studies, and art. Whether examining the inauguration of a virtual community on the website Second Life or investigating the appropriation of biotechnology for transgenic art, this collection highlights how mediated practices have become integral to global culture; how social practices have emerged out of computer-related industries; how contemporary apocalyptic narratives reflect the anxieties of a U.S. culture facing global challenges; and how design, play, and technology help us understand the histories and ideals behind the digital architectures that mediate our everyday actions.

Download or read book Inside Amazon written by Gisela Hausmann and published by Educ-Easy Books. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir "Inside Amazon" examines Gisela Hausmann's experiences as a small publisher, a top reviewer, an indie author, and a warehouse associate. "Inside Amazon: My Story" is compelling because it is personal. * Who is this book for? - Every indie author, seller, warehouse professional and customer who wants to know what's going on behind Amazon's "wall of talking points." Whereas, usually, Amazon's story is told in superlatives, Gisela's memoir offers a ground-level look at Amazon's publishing platform and the operations at a distribution center. The Austrian-born self-publisher's journey begins in 1997 when she decides to publish her first book in the United States. Conscious of the fact that the traditional book publishing and book selling industry were never easy to work with, she believes that a new Internet bookstore - Amazon.com - will help her to distribute her book nationwide. It turns out to be the right decision. Amazon exceeds Hausmann's expectations by offering amazing marketing tools previously reserved for authors whose books made the bestseller lists of The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today, free of charge. Not surprisingly, Hausmann becomes a fan of Jeff Bezos and Amazon. But, struck by a personal tragedy, Hausmann must put her publisher's ambitions on hold. She starts working in the transportation industry, where she does well. A few years later, she is back at Amazon, as the author of award-winning books and a well-ranked top reviewer. When Amazon's publishing platform experiences "issues" - fake reviews, plagiarism, "book-stuffing"- scams, and more - Hausmann holds on to her belief that Amazon is a highly efficient organization. She assumes that the company focuses on their big and expensive products instead of relatively cheap ebooks. Irritated with President Trump's economic policies and worried about the potential of a recession, Hausmann is happy to find out that Amazon opened a distribution center in her hometown and starts working there. However, to her utter surprise, she cannot find any applications of Jeff Bezos' famous leadership principles or his "Day 1"-philosophy. At times, working at the warehouse feels like working for a brand-new start-up. Things get worse during the Christmas Peak Season. By the time the Covid-crisis hits, Hausmann knows that the "issues" she sees are systemic but can no longer leave her job. A different kind of recession than the one she worried about has arrived. Gisela Hausmann ends up working for Amazon Logistics for 468 days. This is her 23-year story.
