Download or read book Performance Constellations written by Marcela A. Fuentes and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance Constellations maps transnational protest movements and the dynamics of networked expressive behavior in the streets and online, as people struggle to be heard and effect long-term social justice. Its case studies explore collective political action in Latin America, including the Zapatistas in the mid-’90s, protests during the 2001 Argentine economic crisis, the 2011 Chilean student movement, the 2014–2015 mobilizations for the disappeared Ayotzinapa students, and the 2018 transnational reproductive rights movement. The book analyzes uses of space, time, media communication, and corporeality in protests such as virtual sit-ins, flash mobs, scarfazos, and hashtag campaigns, arguing that these protests not only challenge hegemonic power but are also socially transformative. While other studies have focused either on digital activism or on street protests, Performance Constellations shows that they are in fact integrally entwined. Zooming in on protest movements and art-activism in Mexico, Argentina, and Chile, and putting contemporary insurgent actions in dialogue with their historical precedents, the book demonstrates how, even in moments of extreme duress, social actors in Latin America have taken up public and virtual space to intervene politically and to contest dominant powers.

Download or read book The One written by Alain Badiou and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alain Badiou’s 1983–1984 lecture series on “the One” is the earliest of his seminars that he has chosen to publish. It focuses on the philosophical concept of oneness in the works of Descartes, Plato, and Kant—a crucial foil for his signature metaphysical concept, the multiple. Badiou declares that there is no “One”: there is no fundamental unit of being; being is inherently multiple. What is novel in Badiou’s view of multiplicity is his reliance on mathematics, and set theory in particular. A set is a collection of things—yet, as he observes, it often is taken to “count as one” operationally for the purposes of mathematical transformations. In this seminar, distinguishing between “the One” and “counting as one” emerges as essential to Badiou’s ontological project. His analysis of reflections on oneness in Descartes, Plato, and Kant prefigures core arguments of his defining work, Being and Event. Showcasing the seeds of Badiou’s key ideas and later thought, The One features singular readings, breathtaking theorizations, and frequently astonishing offhand remarks.

Download or read book Social Dreaming written by Susan Long and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of social dreaming argues that dreams are relevant to the wider social sphere and have a collective resonance that goes beyond the personal narrative. In this fascinating collection, the principles of social dreaming are explored to uncover shared anxieties and prejudices, suggest likely responses, enhance cultural surveys, inform managerial policies and embody community affiliation. Including, for the first time, a coherent epistemology to support the theoretical principles of the field, the book reflects upon and extends the theory and philosophy behind the method, as well as discussing new research in the area, and how social dreaming practice is conducted in a range of localities, situations and circumstances. The book will appeal to anyone interested in the idea that social dreaming can help us to delve deeper into the question of what it means to be human, from psychoanalysts to sociologists and beyond.

Book excerpt: Ground Control to My Heart: A 250 Miles Above Love Story In the vast expanse of space, love knows no bounds—not even the 250 miles separating the International Space Station from Earth. But when protocols and professionalism collide with undeniable chemistry, two hearts must decide if they're brave enough to defy gravity. Dr. Stella Nova has dreamed of touching the stars since she was a little girl watching meteor showers with her father. Now, as she embarks on a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station, she's finally living that dream. The last thing she expects to find in the cold vacuum of space is a connection that makes her heart race faster than escape velocity. Enter Jack Hudson, the charming Ground Control coordinator whose warm voice becomes her lifeline amidst the isolation of space. While his expertise keeps the mission running smoothly, it's his wit, empathy, and genuine care that begin to breach the carefully constructed walls around Stella's heart. As they navigate equipment malfunctions, life-threatening emergencies, and the daily challenges of space exploration, Stella and Jack find themselves drawn into an orbit of their own. Their daily check-ins evolve from professional courtesy to profound connection, each conversation weaving an intimate tapestry of shared dreams, fears, and unspoken desires. But with 250 miles between them, strict NASA protocols to follow, and the watchful eyes of Mission Control monitoring their every interaction, they're forced to keep their growing feelings hidden in the shadows of space. When a rival at Ground Control threatens to complicate their delicate dynamic, and a near-catastrophic incident aboard the station tests their professional boundaries, Stella and Jack must confront the true nature of their relationship. The stakes couldn't be higher—one wrong move could not only jeopardize their careers but also risk the safety of the entire mission. As Stella's return to Earth approaches, both must decide if what they've found is worth fighting for, or if their connection was merely a product of isolation and distance. In this heart-soaring romance set against the backdrop of space exploration, author captures the exhilarating weightlessness of falling in love and the gravity of choosing between duty and desire. With rich technical details that will satisfy space enthusiasts and emotional depth that will leave romance readers breathless, "Ground Control to My Heart" explores what happens when love transcends the boundaries of Earth's atmosphere. Can love survive the descent from orbit? Stella and Jack are about to find out that sometimes the greatest adventure isn't discovering what lies beyond the stars—it's discovering what lies within our own hearts. Perfect for fans of "The Love Hypothesis" and "Project Hail Mary," this novel combines the technical brilliance of Andy Weir with the emotional resonance of Christina Lauren, creating a unique love story that will leave readers starstruck. Whether you're a space enthusiast, a romance lover, or both, this tale of long-distance love taken to astronomical heights will have you believing that when it comes to true connection, not even the vacuum of space can keep two hearts apart.
Download or read book Voice of the Buddha written by Maria Heim and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would a Buddhist theory of texts look like through the lens of the 5th-century thinker Buddhaghosa? In Voice of the Buddha, Maria Heim reads from the principal commentator, editor, and translator of the Theravada intellectual tradition, yielding fresh insight into all three collections of the early Pali texts: Vinaya, the Suttas, and the Abhidhamma. Buddhaghosa considered the Buddha to be omniscient, the Buddha's words to be "oceanic." Every word, passage, book--indeed the corpus as a whole--is taken to be "endless and immeasurable" in Buddhaghosa's view. Commentarial practice thus requires disciplined methods of expansion, drawing out the endless possibilities for meaning and application. Heim considers Buddhaghosa's theories of texts, and follows his practices of exegesis to discover how he explored scripture's infinity. By examining the significance of the immeasurability of scripture in commentarial practice and as a general principle, this book offers new tools to understand the huge scriptural and commentarial literature of the Pali tradition. And by taking seriously a traditional commentator's theory of texts, it beckons us to learn from commentaries themselves how we might read and interpret them and the texts on which they comment.
