Download or read book Body and Time written by Bianca Maria Pirani and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body and Time is an innovative and concise survey of penetrating essays, conceptualizing the body as a physiological system embedded in a social network. In its complex and multilayered structure, it is aligned to and overlaps with other related functions. Contributors to this publication are members of the International Sociological Association Research Committee 54 – ‘The Body in the Social Sciences’, and their contributions specifically refer to the RC54 Mid-Term Conference – ‘The Mobile Interface and Social Change’, held at ‘Sapienza’, University of Rome, 6 December, 2012. What distinguishes the architecture of the book is that, collectively, it constitutes a challenge to the digital media paradigm in which the body is treated simply as a two dimensional icon of space and time; a relatively ‘free form’ with all kinds of narratives generated by the multimedia. Order in sequence should, indeed, be the key phrase incorporating four incisive problems dealt with in the thirteen chapters forming the ‘body’ of the book: identity, temporality, hierarchy and territoriality. In short, the volume demonstrates how fundamentally different ways of experiencing time are also determined by the differing cultural use of bodily rhythms – a ‘two-sided narration’ namely, of space and time. Central to the understanding of this interdependence is the study of interpersonal synchronization – increasing knowledge through the investigation of how rhythm, music, chants, dance, prayer and other harmonizing practices support social integration. This book will attract wide interest, especially from students, researchers and academics in the social sciences, neurosociology, digital studies and further afield.

Download or read book Quality of Life in Communities of Latin Countries written by Graciela Tonon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a reconfiguration of the concepts of community in Latin countries as well as the community quality of life and well-being of different groups: children, young people, older adults, migrants. The traditional concept of community has changed together with the way people participate in community spaces. Community nowadays is more than a geographic concentration; it is related to social support, inter-subjectivity, participation, consensus, common beliefs, joint effort aiming at a major objective, and intense and extensive relationships. This volume presents unique experiences about culture, social development, health, water, armed conflicts, the digital media, and sports within communities, written by authors from Latin countries. This volume is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and policy makers in quality of life studies.

Download or read book International Residential Mobilities written by Josefina Dominguez-Mujica and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the drivers and impacts of new international residential mobilities by considering a range of mobilities in different countries across the globe from investment, amenity and retirement mobilities to those of the new global middle class and the transnational elites. It examines the intersection of these mobilities with the increase in the volume of global tourism, the advent of the sharing economy and peer-to-peer platforms, and the effects of transnational property investment. The consequent transformations are considered in urban environments where tourism pressure coexists with gentrification, increasing house prices and processes of social and ethnic segregation. By offering a broad perspective based on different case studies, the book portrays the contradictory consequences of international residential mobilities both favouring local opportunities for development and disrupting housing markets through the disassociation from local demand. As a result this book is a great resource for academics and students in tourism, urban and migration studies as well as policy-makers and practitioners involved in urban planning, social affairs and tourism management.
Download or read book The Two Faces of Fear written by Ana Villarreal and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, increased criminal and state violence has profoundly transformed everyday life in Mexico. In The Two Faces of Fear, Ana Villarreal draws on two years of qualitative fieldwork conducted during a major turf war in Monterrey, Mexico to trace the far-reaching impact of fear and violence on social ties, daily practices, and everyday spaces. Villarreal brings two seemingly contradictory faces of fear into focus--its ability to both isolate and concentrate people and resources, deepening inequality. While all residents of one of Mexico's largest metropolises confronted new threats, the most privileged leveraged vastly unequal resources to spatially concentrate and defend one municipality more fiercely than the rest. Within this defended city, business, nightlife, and public space thrived at the expense of the greater metropolis. The book puts forth a new approach to the study of emotion and provides tangible evidence of how quickly fear worsens inequality beyond Mexico and the "war on drugs."
Download or read book Paisajes insurrectos written by Rossana Reguillo and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Es posible hablar de insurrecciones 2.0?, ¿de nuevas formas de acuerpamiento social?, ¿de nuevas formas de protesta y organización colectiva? ¿Qué desafíos plantea la ola de insurrecciones que han irrumpido en la escena del siglo XXI? Este libro busca repensar las preguntas que nos hacemos en torno a las culturas políticas de los jóvenes y su acción colectiva. También reflexiona sobre la idea de sujeto y sus formas de expresión. Un sujeto que busca deslindarse de los determinismos, que sale a campo abierto, en plena tempestad sin certezas. Un sujeto que se arriesga no para decretar, sino para comprender, para asir lo inasible “garantizando su estatuto de inasible”, como quería Levinas. La autora habla acerca, de, sobre y especialmente con quienes han construido una inmensa red de conversaciones colectivas, de acciones, de estéticas y de lenguajes. Estos movimientos sociales surgidos en la red y trasladados a la calle, han logrado interrumpir el monólogo de los poderes propietarios.
Download or read book Hot Topics Public Culture Museums written by Fiona Cameron and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hot Topics, Public Culture, Museums engages the highly problematic and increasingly important issue of museums, science centres, their roles in contemporary societies, their engagement with “hot” topics and their part in wider conversations in a networked public culture. Hot topics such as homosexuality, sexual, and racial violence, massacres, drugs, terrorism, GMO foods, H1M1 (swine flu) and climate change are now all part of museological culture. The authors in this collection situate cultural institutions in an increasingly interconnected, complex, globalising and uncertain world and engage the why and how institutions might form part of, activate conversations and action through discussions that theorise institutions in new ways to the very practical means in which institutions might engage their constituencies.

Download or read book Handbook of Quality of Life and Sustainability written by Javier Martinez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides the latest research related to quality of life and sustainability, taking into account social, economic, environmental, and political/governance aspects as well as specific socio-spatial contexts. The volume includes contributions from established and upcoming scholars from various disciplines and geographical contexts (Global South and North). The varying cultural and socio-spatial contexts of the authors in the selected cases contribute to first-hand knowledge on the realities of sustainability issues affecting the quality of life. The authors apply a wide diversity of methods and tools, which facilitates a unique understanding of the interlinkages between quality of life and sustainability. The chapters are grouped in three main sections: concepts and foundations; tools, techniques, and applications; and innovations. The authors provide their own view and theoretical approximation of the dimensions of sustainability, in particular on how these dimensions play out in relation to quality of life. The combination of sustainability and quality of life concepts and perspectives is particularly important in unravelling the multi-faceted nature of human, urban, rural/spatial development.

Download or read book Escrituras silenciadas written by José Francisco Forniés Casals and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Al hablar de Escrituras Silenciadas nos referimos a todos aquellos textos y testimonios que han sido censurados, ocultados, prohibidos o en pocas palabras acallados a lo largo del tiempo y los que al ser descubiertos e integrados en sus respectivas investigaciones, permiten al estudioso romper discursos construidos de larga data y replantear viejos problemas. Precisamente esta capacidad de innovación resulta ser el mayor atractivo que tiene el presente libro, donde por primera vez hemos querido incorporar artículos que plantean problemas desde la perspectiva de las nuevas tecnologías, de sus silencios y prohibiciones, sin olvidar el impacto que ellas tienen en las investigaciones en curso, al facilitar el acceso a textos hasta ahora- fuera del alcance de los investigadores. Las Escrituras Silenciadas pertenecen a ese tipo de temas primarios y esenciales que nadie desconoce pues están presentes de manera persistente y clara en nuestra vida cotidiana. Baste recordar cómo, día a día, la prensa nos informa de nuevos documentos que salen luz y que nos demuestran- ante nuestro estupor- que detrás de la idea que nos habíamos construido de la realidad se esconden grandes espacios vacíos, que el poder en sus diferentes manifestaciones, nos ha querido ocultar. Curiosamente, esta política de cercenar nuestros derechos y capacidades a documentarnos sin trabas sobre los problemas que nos afectan, resulta ser un asunto poco analizado y discutido en la academia, donde en muy escasas ocasiones el problema se ha explorado en toda su dimensión y trascendencia. El presente libro espera contribuir a subsanar esta carencia.
