Download or read book Moving Places written by Nataša Gregorič Bon and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving Places draws together contributions from Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, exploring practices and experiences of movement, non-movement, and place-making. The book centers on “moving places”: places with locations that are not fixed but relative. Locations appearing to be reasonably stable, such as home and homeland, are in fact always subject to practices, imaginaries, and politics of movement. Bringing together original ethnographic contributions with a clear theoretical focus, this volume spans the fields of anthropology, human geography, migration, and border studies, and serves as teaching material in related programs.

Download or read book Moving Pictures Stopping Places written by David B. Clarke and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-05-16 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility has long been a defining feature of modern societies, yet remarkably little attention has been paid to the various 'stopping places'_hotels, motels, and the like_that this mobility presupposes. If the paradoxical qualities of fixed places dedicated to facilitating movement have been overlooked by a variety of commentators, film-makers have shown remarkable prescience and consistency in engaging with these 'still points' around which the world is made to turn. Hotels and motels play a central role in a multitude of films, ranging across an immensely wide variety of genres, eras, and national cinemas. Whereas previous film theorists have focused on the movement implied by road movies and similar genres, the outstanding contributions to this volume extend the recent engagement with space and place in film studies, providing a series of fascinating explorations of the cultural significance of stopping places, both on screen and off. Ranging from the mythical elegance of the Grand Hotel, through the uncanny spaces of the Bates motel, to Korean 'love motels,' the wealth of insights, from a variety of theoretical perspectives, that this volume delivers is set to change our understanding of the role played by stopping places in an increasingly fluid world.

Download or read book Moving Spaces Changing Places written by Mukesh Kumar Williams and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-05-31 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving Spaces, Changing Places tries to reconfigure urban space and its topography through well-crafted poems divided into five sections--train travel, alone and in company, sleep, study and words. On a muggy morning, made muggier by packed commuters, bicycle stands appear and disappear. An entire metropolitan geography opens, but people seem totally absorbed in themselves. These first impressions are bound to change as you travel with these people. The human drama, comedy and adventure of traveling are inescapable. This is true whether we travel with others or alone. In each and every situation we are persistently trying to represent our ever-changing reality and give significance to our lives. When we verbalize our experience we, sometimes find them poignantly sad and at others highly amusing. After reading these poems we may realize that we are not just rational beings trying to justify our actions, but also emotional creatures reacting to situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lives grind to a halt when people don’t know how to relate to their past.

Using Scripture to lead readers forward, Viars provides practical measures to understand the important place “the past” is given in Scripture replace guilt and despair with forgiveness and hope turn failures into stepping stones for growth This motivating, compassionate resource is for anyone ready to review and release the past so that God can transform their behaviors, relationships, and their ability to hope in a future.
Download or read book Glen Seator written by Nina Holland and published by Steidl Dap. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 1888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glen Seator took the simple materials and circumstances of everyday life and with them created monumental dramas of human consciousness. Rebuilding the places that surrounded him and the terrain under his feet, he gave form to a collection of architectural reconstructions that undermined the statement, I am here. These large-scale masterpieces inspired a generation of artists in the 1990s to rethink architecture as a material and subject of sculpture. Before that, Seator realized approximately 120 works that are virtually unknown to the public. Glen Seator: Making Things Moving Places reveals for the first time the entire body of sculptural work produced from 1980 to 2002. The volumes are organized into fourteen workbooks that reconstruct Seators work process, step by step, using the raw materials of the artists archive, including his notes, plans, drawings, photographs, and personal statements. Together the volumes form a portable version of the archive and give a lively and personal view into the process of making objects. Glen Seator was born in 1956 in Beardstown, Illinois, and died in Brooklyn at the age of 46. During the 1990s he realized a body of influential and widely acclaimed full-scale architectural reconstructions at many of the worlds leading galleries and institutions. His few surviving works are part of the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum and the Guggenheim Museum.

Download or read book The Big Sort written by Bill Bishop and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning journalist reveals the untold story of why America is so culturally and politically divided in this groundbreaking book. Armed with startling demographic data, Bill Bishop demonstrates how Americans have spent decades sorting themselves into alarmingly homogeneous communities—not by region or by state, but by city and neighborhood. With ever-increasing specificity, we choose the communities and media that are compatible with our lifestyles and beliefs. The result is a country that has become so ideologically inbred that people don't know and can't understand those who live just a few miles away. In The Big Sort, Bishop explores how this phenomenon came to be, and its dire implications for our country. He begins with stories about how we live today and then draws on history, economics, and our changing political landscape to create one of the most compelling big-picture accounts of America in recent memory.

Book excerpt: "In the 60,000 years since people began colonizing the continents, a continuous feature of human civilization has been mobility. History is replete with seismic global events-pandemics and plagues, wars and genocides. Each time, after a great catastrophe, our innate impulse toward physical security compels us to move. The map of humanity isn't settled-not now, not ever. The filled-with-crises 21st century promises to contain the most dangerous and extensive experiment humanity has ever run on itself: As climates change, pandemics arrive, and economies rise and fall, which places will people leave and where will they resettle? Which countries will accept or reject them? How will the billions alive today, and the billions coming, paint the next map of human geography? Until now, the study of human geography and migration has been like a weather forecast. Move delivers an authoritative look at the "climate" of migration, the deep trends that will shape the grand economic and security scenarios of the future. For readers, it will be a chance to identify their location on humanity's next map"--
