Download or read book The One Way Street of Integration written by Edward G. Goetz and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The One-Way Street of Integration examines two contrasting housing policy approaches to achieving racial justice. Integration initiatives and community development efforts have been for decades contrasting means of achieving racial equity through housing policy. Goetz traces the tensions involved in housing integration and policy to show why he doesn't see the solution to racial injustice as the government moving poor and nonwhite people out of their communities. The One-Way Street of Integration critiques fair housing integration policies for targeting settlement patterns while ignoring underlying racism and issues of economic and political power. Goetz challenges liberal orthodoxy, determining that the standard efforts toward integration are unlikely to lead to racial equity or racial justice in American cities. In fact, in this pursuit it is the community development movement rather that has the greatest potential for connecting to social change and social justice efforts.

Download or read book The Dialectics of Seeing written by Susan Buck-Morss and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1991-07-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Benjamin's magnum opus was a book he did not live to write. In The Dialectics of Seeing, Susan Buck-Morss offers an inventive reconstruction of the Passagen Werk, or Arcades Project, as it might have taken form. Working with Benjamin's vast files of citations and commentary which contain a myriad of historical details from the dawn of consumer culture, Buck-Morss makes visible the conceptual structure that gives these fragments philosophical coherence. She uses images throughout the book to demonstrate that Benjamin took the debris of mass culture seriously as the source of philosophical truth. The Paris Arcades that so fascinated Benjamin (as they did the Surrealists whose "materialist metaphysics" he admired) were the prototype, the 19th century "ur-form" of the modern shopping mall. Benjamin's dialectics of seeing demonstrate how to read these consumer dream houses and so many other material objects of the time—from air balloons to women's fashions, from Baudelaire's poetry to Grandville's cartoons—as anticipations of social utopia and, simultaneously, as clues for a radical political critique. Buck-Morss plots Benjamin's intellectual orientation on axes running east and west, north and south—Moscow Paris, Berlin-Naples—and shows how such thinking in coordinates can explain his understanding of "dialectics at a standstill." She argues for the continuing relevance of Benjamin's insights but then allows a set of "afterimages" to have the last word.

Download or read book Other Things written by Bill Brown and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the pencil to the puppet to the drone—the humanities and the social sciences continue to ride a wave of interest in material culture and the world of things. How should we understand the force and figure of that wave as it shapes different disciplines? Other Things explores this question by considering a wide assortment of objects—from beach glass to cell phones, sneakers to skyscrapers—that have fascinated a range of writers and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Man Ray, Spike Lee, and Don DeLillo. The book ranges across the literary, visual, and plastic arts to depict the curious lives of things. Beginning with Achilles’s Shield, then tracking the object/thing distinction as it appears in the work of Martin Heidegger and Jacques Lacan, Bill Brown ultimately focuses on the thingness disclosed by specific literary and artistic works. Combining history and literature, criticism and theory, Other Things provides a new way of understanding the inanimate object world and the place of the human within it, encouraging us to think anew about what we mean by materiality itself.

Download or read book The Write Quotes Publishing and Book Marketing written by Landis Wade and published by Charlotte Readers Podcast, LLC. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These inspirational and practical quotes come from 500+ podcast interviews with hard-working, award-winning, and New York Times bestselling authors in more than 33 U.S. states and five countries. In Book 8, authors share their honest reflections on Publishing and Book Marketing. Decisions. Decisions. It’s nice to have options. But it’s also nice to know how the world of publishing works, because there are pros and cons to traditional and indie publishing and these quotes include plenty of opinions about both. Authors quoted include David Baldacci, John Hart, Wylie Cash, Kristy Harvey, Brad Taylor, Charlie Lovett, Judy Goldman, Amber Smith, John Gilstrap, Kimmery Martin, A.J. Hartley, Jason Mott, Cathy Pickens, Danielle Stewart, Carrie Knowles, Ellen Butler, Gail Martin, Jenifer Ruff, Claire Fullerton, and many more. Brad Taylor, author of 16 New York Times bestselling thrillers, says, “I didn't know anything about traditional publishing. Honestly, if I knew how hard it was to get published, I wouldn't have gone down this path.” When he sold his first book, he says, “the dog had caught the car.” We learn that marketing books is not easy. It takes work. Creativity. And time. But it can be fun. These authors use websites, mailing lists, social media, BookBub, online advertising, promotion sites, and catchy graphics. And they appear on podcasts, attend book clubs, hold events in bookstores, breweries, museums, and homes, and they speak, write, and teach about writing. And when it comes to finding readers, New York Times bestselling author Kristy Harvey reminds us, “You're actually a lot better off to have 250 email subscribers that are truly interested in what you're saying, they're actually reading your emails, they really want to buy your book, than you are to have 250,000 that aren't even opening them in the first place.” Although there is no master blueprint to publishing and marketing success, these quotes offer inspiration and actionable tips for how to succeed at both.
