Download or read book From Pioneer to Nomad written by Leonardo Buonomo and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 2003 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these essays Leonardo Buonomo reconsiders the Italian American experience from the point of view of the close relationship between writing and the processes of identity-construction. The authors analysed in this study -- Luigi Palma di Cesnola, Sister Blandina Segale, Emanuel Carnevali, John Fante, Jerre Mangione and Pasquale Verdicchio -- have found on the written page their true homeland, the place from which to survey critically the North American scene. These authors range from the second half of the nineteenth century to the present and are representative of different social and regional backgrounds, as well as of different facets of hyphenated identity in North America. Reading their works, the author argues, means discovering a significant range of voices and a complex set of cultural issues, that attest to the increasingly rich history and evolution of Italian American literature. This volume also makes available Luigi Palma di Cesnola's important memoir of 1865, Ten Months in Libby Prison.

Download or read book Free as a Global Nomad written by Päivi Kannisto, Santeri Kannisto and published by Drifting Sands Press. This book was released on 2012-11-23 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does it feel to be forever on the move? Who are global nomads? Why did they leave their former lives? How do they finance their travels? And, ultimately, what is the meaning of life for them? In this book our fellow global nomads, travelers who wander the world without a permanent job or home, answer these intriguing questions. They are modern-day adventurers and vagrants, no one's property. Global nomads value freedom and mastery of their own lives. Their ideas draw from the everyday life and dreams of explorers, philosophers, and vagrants, some notable pioneers including Alexander the Great, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and George Orwell. This book shows how global nomads revive the ancient ideals of a simple and beautiful life. In the process, home, nationality, freedom, and travel get a new meaning that will permanently change the way in which we perceive the world.

Download or read book How to Be a Digital Nomad and Valid Reasons Why You Should written by J.D. Rockefeller and published by J.D. Rockefeller. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man has always been a nomad, a restless spirit or a free-spirited species. In very early times, we moved from place to place, from continent to continent, tracking the stars, crossing huge rivers, and following the seasons in our efforts to survive. Before the advent of modern civilization as we know it, it was common for man to travel great swathes of lands and territories. But they didn’t remain like that forever, the free-spirited nomadic men; they began to change their orientation. They began to try to find ways to stay in a place longer than usual. They had an urge to own lands, to build a connection to the lands. There was a plea for stability and so any semblance to a regular life, one that does not involve old moving habits, is embraced by us. We continue to bury our nomadic essence deeper into our core. We spend a lot of our time, energy, and money paying for a lot of things in our possession already. The all too popular culture of getting it now and paying later has been a resonant motto for most men. This exemplifies the way we see the world and our current approach to survival. This speaks to the state of our complacency and our inability to remove ourselves from our self-inflicted burdens of excruciating debts and our monotonous 9-5 daily obligations. But not everyone wants to live this way, and some of us cannot bear to remain in this endless loop. There is the urgent need to break free of what seems a very strong shackle. They want to live their lives according to the dictates of their passion, allowing their inner nomad self outside. It is about having a newfound freedom, working with no boundaries or borders. The ability to finally live and work from any workstation in the world. It is called being a digital nomad.

Download or read book Non Plan Essays on Freedom Participation and Change in Modern Architecture and Urbanism written by Jonathan Hughes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Plan explores ways of involving people in the design of their environments - a goal which transgresses political categories of 'right' and 'left'. Attempts to circumvent planning bureaucracy and architectural inertia have ranged from free-market enterprise zones, to self-build housing, and from squatting to sophisticated technologies of prefabrication. Yet all have shared in a desire to let people shape the built environment they want to live and work in. How can buildings better reflect the needs of their inhabitants? How can cities better facilitate the work and recreation of their many populaces? Modernism had promised a functionalist approach to resolving the architectural needs of the twentieth-century, yet the design of cities and buildings often appears to confound the needs of those who use them - their design and layout being highly regulated by restrictive legislation, planning controls and bureaucracy. Non-Plan considers the theoretical and conceptual frameworks within which architecture and urbanism have sought to challenge entrenched boundaries of control, focusing on the architectural history of the post-war period to the present day. This provocative book will be of interest to architects, planners and students of architecture, design, town-planning and architectural history. Its contributors include architects, critics and historians, including many whose work helped shape the Non-Plan debate during the period. List of contributors: Cedric Price, Benjamin Franks, Elizabeth Lebas, Eleonore Kofman, Ben Highmore, Yona Friedman, Paul Barker, Clara Greed, Barry Curtis, Colin Ward, Ian Horton, John Beck, Chinedu Umenyilora and Malcolm Miles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes a variety of chapters that consider the role and importance of anthropology in small wars and insurgencies. Almost every war since the origins of the discipline at the beginning of the 19th century has involved anthropology and anthropologists. The chapters in this book fall into the following myriad categories of military anthropology. Anthropology for the military. In some cases, anthropologists participated directly as uniformed combatants, having the purpose of directly providing expert knowledge with the goal of improving operations and strategy. Anthropology of the military. Anthropologists have also been known to study State militaries. Sometimes this scholarship is undertaken with the objective of providing the military with information about its own internal systems and processes in order to improve its performance. At other times, the objective is to study the military as a human group to identify and describe its culture and social processes. Anthropology of war. As a discipline, anthropology has also had a long history of studying warfare itself. This book considers the anthropology of small wars and insurgencies through an analysis of the Islamic State’s military adaptation in Iraq, Al Shabaab recruiting in Somalia, religion in Israeli combat units, as well as many other topics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Small Wars & Insurgencies.
Download or read book Tourism Recovery Based on Digital Nomadism Post COVID 19 in Ubud Bali written by Fransisco Situmorang and published by Syiah Kuala University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic is the worst crisis and historical record for the global tourism sector since the 1950s. Destinations that rely heavily on the tourism sector will face this pandemic’s extraordinary impact, such as Bali, which experienced a significant depreciation of economic growth. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is also the right opportunity and momentum to redesign tourism development more sustainable to overcome the overtourism issue in Bali. Tourism recovery efforts must be carried out immediately by prioritizing product diversification and increasing destinations’ value and quality according to tourism development trends, such as digital nomadism. Digital nomadism as a lifestyle allows individuals to work regardless of location and take advantage of that freedom to travel worldwide. The practice of digital nomadism has developed rapidly pre-pandemic in the Ubud Tourism Area, Bali, and it will increase further due to the digital transformation of human life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ubud Tourism Area recovery as a digital nomadism destination must be a priority consideration by the government, tourism entrepreneurs and local communities in entering the post-normal tourism period.
