Download or read book Bordering written by Nira Yuval-Davis and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling national borders has once again become a key concern of contemporary states and a highly contentious issue in social and political life. But controlling borders is about much more than patrolling territorial boundaries at the edges of states: it now comprises a multitude of practices that take place at different levels, some at the edges of states and some in the local contexts of everyday life – in workplaces, in hospitals, in schools – which, taken together, construct, reproduce and contest borders and the rights and obligations associated with belonging to a nation-state. This book is a systematic exploration of the practices and processes that now define state bordering and the role it plays in national and global governance. Based on original research, it goes well beyond traditional approaches to the study of migration and racism, showing how these processes affect all members of society, not just the marginalized others. The uncertainties arising from these processes mean that more and more people find themselves living in grey zones, excluded from any form of protection and often denied basic human rights.

Download or read book The Politics of Belonging written by Nira Yuval-Davis and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Nira Yuval-Davis provides a cutting-edge investigation of the challenging debates around belonging and the politics of belonging. Alongside the hegemonic forms of citizenship and nationalism which have tended to dominate our recent political and social history, the author examines alternative contemporary political projects of belonging constructed around the notions of religion, cosmopolitanism, and the feminist ‘ethics of care’. The book also explores the effects of globalization, mass migration, the rise of both fundamentalist and human rights movements on such politics of belonging, as well as some of its racialized and gendered dimensions. A special space is given to the various feminist political movements that have been engaged as part of or in resistance to the political projects of belonging.

Download or read book Nira Sussa written by Julian Darius and published by Martian Lit. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He's a tenured creative writing professor. A well-respected novelist. And a recovering sadistic pervert with a penchant for young girls. His name is Julian Darius, which by great coincidence just happens to be the name of this novel's author. She's a teenage groupie who insists he buy her a collar before they have sex. She seems to know his desires better than he does. And she wants to fulfill them - even ones he claims not to have. The result is a strange love story that explores how far we'd really go, given the opportunity... and whether men and women could truly live together, if they were completely honest about their desires. This erotic and violent novel, criticized as pornographic, is nonetheless supremely literary and won its author a Ph.D. in English. WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT, VIOLENCE, TRANSGRESSIVE THEMES, INTELLIGENCE. From Martian Lit. More info at http: //martianlit.com

Download or read book Personality Priorities written by Nira Kfir and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Personality & Priorities, "Impasses" are roadblocks that evolve in early childhood and impede or limit the child's social development and movement in life. Impasses develop out of a coalescence of unpleasant or painful interpersonal experiences in early life that signify non significance and non belonging to the child. The four priorities are present in everyone's behavioral repertoire in varying degrees. However, one of the priorities is pre-eminent, and the others are subordinated to it. They help therapists understand clients quickly, and allow them to aid clients in reaching self-understanding and self-acceptance and in recognizing the price they pay for their chosen priority and behavioral strategies. Dr. Nira Kfir, PhD is a psychotherapist and Director of Maagalim Institute for Psychotherapy and Counseling in Tel Aviv, Israel. Her theory of personality and priorities has developed into an innovative psychotherapeutic diagnostic system Personality Impasse/Priority Therapy, which is used internationally. Her theoretical model of Crisis Intervention is presented in her book, Crisis Intervention Verbatim.

When auditions for jazz band are announced, Nira realizes it's now or never to convince her parents that she deserves a chance to pursue her passion.

Led by Captain Alec Hamlin, a team of explorers make an emergency landing and are soon confronted by their first Niran native. A huge male Kríe packed with muscle and bearing small, black horns and fangs. Fortunately, he's friendly. Or so he lets them believe. With the help of his pack, the Kríe takes Alec's team captive, intending to sell them for profit. But these Nirans aren't just shrewd, they're arrogant and domineering. And most of all, extremely sexual. Which explains why, on their journey to peddle their new wares, they feed Alec's team a powerful aphrodisiac. Nothing like some decadent entertainment on the side. Soon the team finds themselves feverishly trying to resist the growing urge to get physical with their captors. But as passion prevails and unexpected bonds form, so much more is suddenly at stake. With no time left, will a shift in Kríe perspective be enough to change the fate of Alec's team? Warning: Contains mild dub/con elements, and explicitly scorching gay sex with exotic and shamelessly kinky males of otherworldly descent.

Download or read book Platforms and Cultural Production written by Thomas Poell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread uptake of digital platforms – from YouTube and Instagram to Twitch and TikTok – is reconfiguring cultural production in profound, complex, and highly uneven ways. Longstanding media industries are experiencing tremendous upheaval, while new industrial formations – live-streaming, social media influencing, and podcasting, among others – are evolving at breakneck speed. Poell, Nieborg, and Duffy explore both the processes and the implications of platformization across the cultural industries, identifying key changes in markets, infrastructures, and governance at play in this ongoing transformation, as well as pivotal shifts in the practices of labor, creativity, and democracy. The authors foreground three particular industries – news, gaming, and social media creation – and also draw upon examples from music, advertising, and more. Diverse in its geographic scope, Platforms and Cultural Production builds on the latest research and accounts from across North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and China to reveal crucial differences and surprising parallels in the trajectories of platformization across the globe. Offering a novel conceptual framework grounded in illuminating case studies, this book is essential for students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand how the institutions and practices of cultural production are transforming – and what the stakes are for understanding platform power.

Download or read book Zercy written by Kora Knight and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency landing. Uncharted planet. Erotic captivity of epic proportions. Right when Captain Alec Hamlin thinks it can't get any crazier, his team is sold to their captors' mighty sovereign. King Zercy of the Kríe. Ruler of the planet's most formidable species. Man, is he imposing. So regal and larger than life. And way too savagely handsome for Alec's liking. From the first moment he laid eyes on him, he knew the Kríe was trouble, knew he needed to steer clear of him at all costs. But when Zercy chooses Alec to be his personal pet, all plans to dodge the male fall by the wayside. Alec is forced to spend each evening in the alluring king's company, each night bound to the seductive king's bed. Wholly at his mercy. Utterly defenseless, in his own mind and most especially his restless body. His struggle is real. Because the more Alec gets to know Zercy, the more he realizes two things. The Kríe king is damaged-unstable, not right, making him unpredictable and highly dangerous. But he is also innately kind beneath the raging storm that torments him. Kind and genuine, with a sad but beautiful soul. Something Alec fights with all he is, not to acknowledge. He can't fall for Zercy. Zercy is the enemy. The captor of both Alec and his team. Which means Alec needs to get them out of there, before it's too late. Before emotions overthrow logic and take control of the wheel. If only his body didn't crave Zercy so fiercely, and his heart didn't want him just as badly. With Search and Rescue due any day, and Alec's team getting antsy, Alec is forced to make a decision. He can't have it both ways. Is he the captain of his men, bound to obligation, or is he a man in love with a Kríe? Warning: Erotic romance. Contains explicitly scorching gay sex with exotic and shamelessly kinky males of otherworldly descent.

Download or read book Media Anthropology for the Digital Age written by Anna Cristina Pertierra and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of anthropology took a long time to discover the significance of media in modern culture. In this important new book, Anna Pertierra tells the story of how a field - once firmly associated with the study of esoteric cultures - became a central part of the global study of media and communication. She recounts the rise of anthropological studies of media, the discovery of digital cultures, and the embrace of ethnographic methods by media scholars around the world. Bringing together longstanding debates in sociocultural anthropology with recent innovations in digital cultural research, this book explains how anthropology fits into the story and study of media in the contemporary world. It charts the mutual disinterest and subsequent love affair that has taken place between the fields of anthropology and media studies in order to understand how and why such a transformation has taken place. Moreover, the book shows how the theories and methods of anthropology offer valuable ways to study media from a ground-level perspective and to understand the human experience of media in the digital age. Media Anthropology for the Digital Age will be of interest to students and scholars of media and communication, anthropology, and cultural studies, as well as anyone wanting to understand the use of anthropology across wider cultural debates.
