Download or read book Living with Monsters written by Yasmine Musharbash and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every generic type of monster-ghost, demon, vampire, dragon-there are countless locally specific manifestations, with their own names, traits, and appearances. Such monsters populate all corners of the globe haunting their humans wherever they live. Living with Monsters is a collection of fourteen short pieces of ethnographic fiction (and a more academically inclined introduction and afterword) presenting a playful, spirited, and engaging look at how people live with their respective monsters around the world. They focus on the nitty-gritty dos and don'ts of how to placate spirits in India; how to domesticate Georgian goblins, how to live with aliens, how to avoid being taken by Anito in Taiwan, while simultaneously illuminating the politics of monster-human relations. In this collection, anthropologists working in fieldsites as diverse as the urban Ghana, the rural US, remote Aboriginal Australia, and the internet present imaginative accounts that demonstrate how thinking with monsters encourages people to contemplate difference, to understand inequality, and to see the world from new angles. Combine monsters with experimental ethnography, and the result is a volume that crackles with creative energy, flouts traditions of ethnographic writing, and pushes anthropology into new terrains. Yasmine Musharbash is Senior Lecturer and Head of Discipline (Anthropology) at the School of Archaeology & Anthropology at the Australian National University. She conducts participant observation-based research with Warlpiri people in Central Australia with a particular focus on relations: among Warlpiri people on the one hand and between them and non-Indigenous people, fauna, flora, the elements, and monsters, on the other. She is the author of Yuendumu Everyday (Aboriginal Studies Press, 2008) and of a number of co-edited volumes, including two about monsters that she co-edited with GH Presterudstuen: Monster Anthropology in Australasia and Beyond (Palgrave MacMillan, 2014) and Monster Anthropology: Ethnographic Explorations of Transforming Social Worlds through Monsters (Routledge, 2020). Ilana Gershon is the Ruth N. Halls professor of anthropology at Indiana University and studies how people use new media to accomplish complicated social tasks such as breaking up with lovers and hiring new employees. She has published books such as The Breakup 2.0 (Cornell University Press, 2012) and Down and Out in the New Economy (University of Chicago Press, 2017), and has edited two other volumes of ethnographic fiction on work and animals. She has been a fellow at Stanford's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, at Notre Dame's Institute for Advanced Study and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Helsinki. She is presently writing a book how working in person during a pandemic sheds light on the ways workplaces function as private governments.

Download or read book Dear Data written by Giorgia Lupi and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly—small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives—including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere.

Book excerpt: Life in a post-civilisation world is split into two factions. Androids help the Few to uphold high standards in isolated Nubs while the Masses struggle to survive. Thirty years after the Collapse, the Few have become antisocial. The death rate exceeds the birth rate by far. They are on the brink of extinction. Valda, an android, improves herself beyond the capabilities of her kind. She can emulate human thought and emotions. Her passionate desire is to please her master, Martin. She cannot bear his children so she encourages him to have relationships with human women who can. She becomes the driving force behind the changes that Martin wants to stimulate population growth and social interaction amongst the Few. Beyond the security of the Nubs are countless treasures. The most important of which are books, music and other cultural artefacts. The Few have a wealth of technical and scientific data but practically nothing else. Valda and Martin want to change that and recover some of their lost culture. They want to learn about the outside world where chaos has reigned. They are not even sure if there are any survivors. They also have some unusual ideas about how to boost the population of the Few.

Download or read book Animal Revolution written by Ron Broglio and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why our failure to consider the power of animals is to our deep detriment Animals are staging a revolution—they’re just not telling us. From radioactive boar invading towns to jellyfish disarming battleships, this book threads together news accounts and more in a powerful and timely work of creative, speculative nonfiction that imagines a revolution stirring and asks how humans can be a part of it. If the coronavirus pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we should pay attention to how we bump up against animal worlds and how animals will push back. Animal Revolution is a passionate, provocative, cogent call for us to do so. Ron Broglio reveals how fur and claw and feather and fin are jamming the gears of our social machine. We can try to frame such disruptions as environmental intervention or through the lens of philosophy or biopolitics, but regardless the animals persist beyond our comprehension in reminding us that we too are part of an animal world. Animals see our technologies and machines as invasive beings and, in a nonlinguistic but nonetheless intensive mode of communicating with us, resist our attempts to control them and diminish their habitats. In doing so, they expose the environmental injustices and vulnerabilities in our systems. A witty, informative, and captivating work—at the juncture of posthumanism, animal studies, phenomenology, and environmental studies—Broglio reminds us of our inadequacy as humans, not our exceptionalism.
