Download or read book In Case of Emergency written by Elizabeth Ellcessor and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A much-needed look at the growth of emergency media and its impact on our lives In an emergency, we often look to media: to contact authorities, to get help, to monitor evolving situations, or to reach out to our loved ones. Sometimes we aren’t even aware of an emergency until we are notified by one of the countless alerts, alarms, notifications, sirens, text messages, or phone calls that permeate everyday life. Yet most people have only a partial understanding of how such systems make sense of and act upon an “emergency.” In Case of Emergency argues that emergency media are profoundly cultural artifacts that shape the very definition of “emergency” as an opposite of “normal.” Looking broadly across a range of contemporary emergency-related devices, practices, and services, Elizabeth Ellcessor illuminates the cultural and political underpinnings and socially differential effects of emergency media. By interweaving in-depth interviews with emergency-operation and app-development experts, archival materials, and discursive and technological readings of hardware and infrastructures, Ellcessor demonstrates that emergency media are powerful components of American life that are rarely, if ever, neutral. The normalization of ideologies produced and reinforced by emergency media result in unequal access to emergency services and discriminatory assumptions about who or what is a threat and who deserves care and protection. As emergency media undergo massive growth and transformation in response to digitization and attendant entrepreneurial cultures, Ellcessor asks where access, equity, and accountability fit in all of this. The first book to develop a typology of emergency media, In Case of Emergency opens a much-needed conversation around the larger cultural meanings of “emergency,” and what an ethical and care-based approach to emergency could entail.

Book excerpt: In September 1991, unpaid soldiers of Zaire and many poor, hungry civilians participate in a massive rampage and looting spree. They march through Kinshasa destroying homes and businesses. Trapped inside this storm, an American family awaits rescue. Jonathan, the Rhodesian ridgeback, knows the family is in danger. His duty is to keep them safe. To protect the family from ensuing chaos, he needs Rainbow, the parrot, to gather information outside the family compound. He must also rely on the family pets that reside inside the house--Muki (the Poodle) and Bandit (the adopted kitten). It is a story of self-discovery, of friendship, of finding one's way home and of being left behind. Jonathan, Rainbow, Muki and Bandit overcome their distrust of one another and work together to calm the fears of the family and guide them to safety. Their heroic and often mischievous deeds will make you laugh and bring you to tears. Through their eyes, we witness the heartbreak, resilience and beauty that is Africa.

Book excerpt: Nothing’s going to stop Kyla… until the ground crumbles beneath her feet. Kyla Justice has arrived. Her company, Justice Construction, is one of the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful companies in the Pacific Northwest. And yet, something is missing. Not until she’s called on to build a center for inner-city kids does she realize what it is: her sense of purpose. Now nothing can stop her, not the low budget, not supply problems, not gang opposition, not her boyfriend’s suggestion that she sell her business and marry him–and most especially not that disagreeable Rafael Murphy. Rafe Murphy understands battle. Wounded in action, this Force Recon Marine carries the scars–and the nightmares–to prove it. Though he can’t fight overseas any longer, he’s found his place as a warrior in the civilian world. So he soldiers on, trusting that one of these days, God will reveal to him why Rafe survived the ambush in Iraq. That day has arrived. Kyla and Rafe both discover that determination alone won’t carry them through danger and challenges. When gang violence threatens their very foundations, there’s only one way to survive: rely on each other, be real–and surrender to God. In other words, risk everything…

The eleven survivors are lower to middle class women of various ethnic orientations, and range in age from their late twenties to mid-sixties.
