Patterns of Im/mobility Conflict and Identity

Patterns of Im/mobility Conflict and Identity

Patterns of im/mobility collective identity and conflict are highly entangled. The im/mobility of a social or cultural group has major impact on how identity narratives a sense of belonging and relationships to ‘others’ are shaped and vice versa. These dynamics are closely interlinked with mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion between groups and power structures that involve a broad variety of actors from local populations to migrants government institutions and other intermediaries. Mainly looking at patterns of internal mobility such as ‘traditional’ or strategic mobilities and mobilities enforced by crisis conflict or governmental programmes and regimes this book aims to go beyond currently predominant issues of transnational migration. Dynamics of non/integration and belonging caused by im/mobility are analysed on a cultural and political level which involves questions of representation indigeneity/autochthony political rights and access to land and other resources. With ethnographic case studies from Kosovo Sierra Leone Liberia Bangladesh East Timor and Indonesia this volume provides a comparative perspective on the multifold dimensions of im/mobility in contexts where changing mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion trigger or settle conflicts and social identities are constantly re/negotiated. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Social Identities. | Patterns of Im/mobility Conflict and Identity

Migrant and Tourist Encounters The Ethics of Im/mobility in 21st Century Dominican and Cuban Cultures

Migrant and Tourist Encounters The Ethics of Im/mobility in 21st Century Dominican and Cuban Cultures

Migrant and Tourist Encounters: The Ethics of Im/mobility in 21st Century Dominican and Cuban Cultures analyzes the effects of clashing flows of voluntary and involuntary travelers to and from these countries due to an increase in migration and tourism during the last three decades. I compare the ways in which literary works and films reflect on and critique the power relations and ethics of im/mobility and encounter both on the islands and in destinations abroad. The works draw attention to the interconnectedness of migration tourism and other forms of travel as well as immobility and portray growing local and global inequalities through characters’ disparate access to free voluntary movement. I consider how the works respond to the question of the moral potential of encounters produced by im/mobilities and the possibility of connection across differences. I argue that Dominican and Cuban artists not only critique neo-colonial paradigms of power and im/mobility but envision and enact strategies for belonging and in some cases suggest a path toward de-colonial cosmopolitanism. | Migrant and Tourist Encounters The Ethics of Im/mobility in 21st Century Dominican and Cuban Cultures

Roads and Anthropology Ethnography Infrastructures (Im)mobility

Roads and Anthropology Ethnography Infrastructures (Im)mobility

Roads and the powerful sense of mobility that they promise carry us back and forth between the sweeping narratives of globalisation and the specific tangible materialities of particular times and places. Indeed despite the fact that roads might by comparison with the sparkling agility of virtual technologies appear to be grounded in twentieth century industrial political economy they could arguably be taken as the paradigmatic material infrastructure of the twenty-first century supporting both the information society (in the ever increasing circulation of commoditized goods and labour) and the extractive economies of developing countries on which the production and reproduction of such goods and labour depends. Roads and Anthropology is the first collection of road ethnographies edited by two pioneers in the anthropological explorations of infrastructures the essays published in the book aim to pave the way for this rising field of anthropological research. This book was published as a special issue of Mobilities. | Roads and Anthropology Ethnography Infrastructures (Im)mobility

Modeling and Control of AC Machine using MATLAB /SIMULINK

Modeling and Control of AC Machine using MATLAB /SIMULINK

This book introduces electrical machine modeling and control for electrical engineering and science to graduate undergraduate students as well as researchers who are working on modeling and control of electrical machines. It targets electrical engineering students who have no time to derive mathematical equations for electrical machines in particular induction machine (IM) and doubly fed induction machines (DFIM). The main focus is on the application of field oriented control technique to induction motor (IM) and doubly fed induction motor (DFIM) in details and since the induction motors have many drawback using this technique therefore the application of a nonlinear control technique (feedback linearization) is applied to a reduced order model of DFIM to enhance the performance of doubly fed induction motor. FeaturesServes as text book for electrical motor modeling simulation and control; especially modeling of induction motor and doubly fed induction motor using different frame of references. Vector control (field oriented control) is given in more detailed and is applied to induction motor. A nonlinear controller is applied to a reduced model of an doubly induction motor associated with a linear observer to estimate the unmeasured load torque which is used to enhance the performance of the vector control to doubly fed induction motor. Access to the full MATLAB/SIMULINK blocks for simulation and control. | Modeling and Control of AC Machine using MATLAB®/SIMULINK

Hitler's Fall The Newsreel Witness

Hitler's Fall The Newsreel Witness

This book first published in 1988 provides a comparative approach for looking at the filmic witness of the final days of the Third Reich and the opening of the period often referred to as Stunde Null (Zero Hour) – that moment when a new Germany emerged from catastrophic destruction. Brought together in this volume are articles by a group of international scholars each dealing with the message of German defeat as it was presented to the people of the Soviet Union the United States Great Britain Poland Switzerland and Germany itself. Not only are newsreels and immediate post-war documentaries dealt with but also the very important Welt im Film Newsreel which was used by the Americans and British for the political reeducation of Germany. | Hitler's Fall The Newsreel Witness

Beyond Marginality? Social Movements of Social Security Claimants in the European Union

Beyond Marginality? Social Movements of Social Security Claimants in the European Union

First published in 1998 this volume describes and analyses organizations of social security claimants and their position in the field of force of the national welfare state in six European countries: representing a diversity of welfare state regimes. The authors analyse these organizations and their strengths and weaknesses from a variety of theoretical perspectives: such as the opportunity structures of welfare states and national political relations the fragmentation of the social movements of social security claimants along ideological and categorical lines the (im)possibilities of organizing socially highly marginalized groups etc. The volume also contains an introduction and an epilogue as well as a chapter dealing with the relations between collective and individual forms of social resistance. | Beyond Marginality?

Brazilian Mobilities

Brazilian Mobilities

Brazilian Mobilities presents an overview of the diversity of mobility studies developed in Brazil. It builds a picture of a strong Latin-American perspective emerging in the field of mobilities research which provides unique insight into the complex dynamics of mobilities in the emerging countries from the Global South. Addressing such different areas as tourism urbanization media studies social inequalities marketing and mega-events transport and technology among others the contributors use the new mobilities paradigm or NMP (Sheller & Urry 2006) as a starting point to reflect about the social changes experienced in the country and they also engage with newer literature on mobilities including work done by Brazilian and Latin-American authors depending on the subject of each individual chapter. Illustrating to scholars the uniqueness and complexity of the Brazilian social-political and economic context the book was organized in order to be a representative sample of the studies carried out in Brazil as well as to contribute to other academic investigations on (im)mobilities and different social realities in emerging countries.

Children and Work Study of Socialization

Children and Work Study of Socialization

What do children know about work careers and related topics? What is the pattern of growth in values attitudes beliefs and knowledge? Using quantitative and anecdotal evidence gathered from interviewing over 900 grade-school students in five New Jersey communities the authors analyze childhood socialization to the concept of work. Existing literature on this topic focuses on the critical years of oc-cupational choice. But Goldstein and Oldham strongly suggest that much of the child's work-related development has already occurred prior to entry into secondary school and that career educa-tion must receive increased em-phasis during the elementary years. Their evidence corroborates the pattern of rapid progress to-ward childhood awareness of im-portant social phenomena such as war politics race gender roles and economics. By the seventh grade children have an awareness in these areas that approximates that of adults. Traditional stereo-types concerning appropriate work roles for women continue to exist at the elementary school level. This work is a comprehensive empirical treatment of childhood socialization to work fitting neat-ly into the growing body of litera-ture on the socialization of the child into various political eco-nomic and social roles. Children and Work is in the sociological tradition but the findings are pre-sented in the context of a growing body of social science research on early socialization. | Children and Work Study of Socialization

Cyber Security Management A Governance Risk and Compliance Framework

Cyber Security Management A Governance Risk and Compliance Framework

Cyber Security Management: A Governance Risk and Compliance Framework by Peter Trim and Yang-Im Lee has been written for a wide audience. Derived from research it places security management in a holistic context and outlines how the strategic marketing approach can be used to underpin cyber security in partnership arrangements. The book is unique because it integrates material that is of a highly specialized nature but which can be interpreted by those with a non-specialist background in the area. Indeed those with a limited knowledge of cyber security will be able to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject and will be guided into devising and implementing relevant policy systems and procedures that make the organization better able to withstand the increasingly sophisticated forms of cyber attack. The book includes a sequence-of-events model; an organizational governance framework; a business continuity management planning framework; a multi-cultural communication model; a cyber security management model and strategic management framework; an integrated governance mechanism; an integrated resilience management model; an integrated management model and system; a communication risk management strategy; and recommendations for counteracting a range of cyber threats. Cyber Security Management: A Governance Risk and Compliance Framework simplifies complex material and provides a multi-disciplinary perspective and an explanation and interpretation of how managers can manage cyber threats in a pro-active manner and work towards counteracting cyber threats both now and in the future. | Cyber Security Management A Governance Risk and Compliance Framework

Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece

Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece

Sensing the Everyday is a multi-sited ethnographic inquiry based on fieldwork experiences and sharp everyday observations in the era of crisis. Blending sophisticated theoretical analyses with original ethnographic data C. Nadia Seremetakis journeys from Greece to Vienna Edinburgh Albania Ireland and beyond. Social crisis is seen through its transnational multiplication of borders thresholds and margins divisions and localities as linguistic bodily sensory and performative sites of the quotidian in process. The book proposes everyday life not as a sanctuary or as a recessed zone distanced from the structural violence of the state and the market but as a condition of im/possibility unable to be lived as such yet still an encapsulating habitus. There the impossibility of the quotidian is concretized as fragmentary and fragmenting material forces. Seremetakis weaves together topics as diverse as borders and bodies history and death the earth and the senses language and affect violence and public culture the sociality of dreaming and the spatialization of the traumatic in a journey through antiphonic witnessing and memory. Her montage explores various ways of juxtaposing reality with the irreal and the imaginal to expose the fictioning of social reality. The book locates her approach to ethnography and the ‘native ethnographer’ in wider anthropological and philosophical debates and proposes a dialogical interfacing of theory and practice the translation of academic knowledge to public knowledge | Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece
