(Con)Fusing Signs and Postmodern Positions - Robert Neustadt - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

(Con)Fusing Signs and Postmodern Positions - Robert Neustadt - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Foregrounding a strategy of experimental techniques which Neustadt call (con)fusing signs, the book explores critical and political dimensions of contemporary Spanish American artistic practices that are often explained away in the vague name of postmodern fragmentation. ( Con)Fusing Signs explores the techniques, consequences and purposes for this type of fragmentation. This study reassesses the much discussed crisis of representation through an analysis of the complexity of political critique in areas as diverse (and related) as postmodernity, military dictatorship and postcolonialism. This book explores the manner in which multimedia artists Diamela Eltit, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Guillermo G-mez-Pe-a articulate political critiques through textual (con)fusion while paradoxically underscoring their inability to get outside of discourse.

Cable and Wireless Networks - Mario Marques Da Silva - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cable and Wireless Networks: Theory and Practice presents a comprehensive approach to networking, cable and wireless communications, and networking security. It describes the most important state-of-the-art fundamentals and system details in the field, as well as many key aspects concerning the development and understanding of current and emergent services. In this book, the author gathers in a single volume current and emergent cable and wireless network services and technologies.

Li Da And Marxist Philosophy In China - Nick Knight - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Li Da And Marxist Philosophy In China - Nick Knight - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

"Scholars of Marxism will be in Nick Knight''s debt for this pioneering study of one of the most important figures in the development of Marxism in China. Knight makes an important case about the relationship of Chinese Marxist thought to Marxist thought in general (with particular attention to Soviet Marxism). The book makes available to readers not just important texts of Chinese Marxism, but a whole series of texts of Marxism that were crucial to the political discourse of the thirties. Knight displays impressive erudition and command of these texts. In spite of the strong case he makes for his thesis, he retains throughout an admirable critical self-awareness that enhances the plausibility of his argument." —Arif DirlikDuke University

Race, Ethnicity, And Nationality In The United States - Paul Wong - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Race, Ethnicity, And Nationality In The United States - Paul Wong - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is intended for use in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses on race and ethnicity and on diversity in America. It was first con- ceived as a collective project of the Research and Resident Scholar Program in Comparative Race Relations at Washington State University, which was established in 1994 with support from the Rockefeller Foundation. A number of the participating authors are established scholars in racial/ethnic studies, and several have published award-winning bestsellers. Others are relative newcomers to the field who were invited to join the project because they were doing important work on less well covered topics, such as relations between African Americans and Chicano/Latino Americans.

Indian Village - S.c. Dube - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Indian Village - S.c. Dube - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Indian Village is widely considered a "classic." Since its publication, over six decades ago, the book has received immense acclaim, attaining extraordinary success, especially as the first book on a single village in post—Second World War South Asia. Indeed, the work represents a key statement of the wider shift from tribe to village in Indian anthropology, part of the movement away from studies of "isolated" groups toward writings on con-temporary communities in the sociology of the subcontinent. Written in an accessible, intimate manner, Indian Village needs to be understood today as a flagship endeavour of the social sciences in a young, independent India—a study that continues to be generously cited, including as a model monograph, in the disciplines at large.

Yankee Family - James Mcgovern - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Yankee Family - James Mcgovern - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The voluminous records of the Pierce and Poor families weave a story that runs from the late eighteenth century until World War I. The extent and qual-ity of their source materials, and their positions as representative middle-class to upper-middle-class New England families, make these subjects of Yankee Family particularly well suited for analyzing processes of continuity and change. McGovern reviews the life-styles of the Pierce and,Poor families both on the frontier and in the Boston area, and focuses on the cross-generational changes in these styles. The study begins with John Pierce at Harvard in the 1790s and follows through to the first decade of the twen-tieth century. The author shows how the "Yankee" mentality, an outgrowth of New England Puritanism, contributed to the family''s rise to success, but con-cludes that by the early twentieth cen-tury the Yankee life-style was ending, a victim of social and economic changes in American society that were rendering it irrelevant. Until recently historical scholarship on the American family has been static. Apart from long-standing predilections of historians for political history, there were also theoretical and meth-odological problems deterring schol-arship on the American family. But McGovern''s approach holds great promise; it is more sensitive than quan-tification studies to the impact of change on a wider range of human expe-riences because it is inevitably more personal. While this type of family his-tory rewards students of social change, it also affords important insights on con-tinuity. It reveals the existence of a family style which adapts to change with a special corpus of family wisdom, al-ways finding a way to exercise its "known" amidst constant flux — thus mitigating some of the effects of change.

A Relational Model of Public Discourse - Leyla (university Of Johannesburg Tavernaro Haidarian - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

A Relational Model of Public Discourse - Leyla (university Of Johannesburg Tavernaro Haidarian - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Contemporary democratic discourses are frequently, though not exclusively, characterized by an attitude of ‘pro and con'' where the aim is to persuade others, a jury or an audience, of what is right and what is wrong. Challenging such procedures, this book teases out an alternative model of public discourse that is based in collaboration and deliberation. The African philosophy of ubuntu offers valuable insights in this regard as it implies relational notions of power that contrast and complement individualist facets. It provides the space to think and speak in ways that support harmonious and cohesive societal structures and practices. The book’s model of communication rests on the premise that the various interests of individuals and groups, while richly diverse, can be conceived of as profoundly bound-up rather than incompatible. In this way communication enables broader lines of action and a wider scope for achieving diversity and common ground.

The Objective is Quality - Michel Jaccard - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Objective is Quality - Michel Jaccard - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Quality is a form of management that is composed of the double approach of driving an organization towards excellence, while conforming to established standards and laws. The objective of quality confers advantages to companies: it makes them more resilient to change that can be unexpected or even chaotic; it makes them more competitive by identifying those steps in processes that do not offer added value. No longer the concern of a small community of experts, even scientists and engineers working in the private sector will find that they will have to con- front questions related to quality management in their day-to-day professional lives. This volume offers such people an unique entry into the universe of quality management, providing not only a cartography of quality standards and their modes of application – with particular attention to the ISO standards – but also a broader cultural context, with chapters on the history, prizes, deontology and moral implications of systems of quality management. This book thus opens the door to all those eager to take the first steps to learning how the principles of quality are organized today, and how they can be applied to his or her own activity.

Milk - Stuart Patton - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Milk - Stuart Patton - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Milk is the one food that sustains life and promotes growth in all newborn mammals, including the human infant. By its very nature, milk is nutritious. Despite this, it has received surprisingly little attention from those interested in the cultural impact of food. In this fascinating volume, Stuart Patton convincingly argues that milk has become of such importance and has so many health and cultural implications that everyone should have a basic understanding of it. This book provides this much-needed introduction. Patton''s approach to his subject is comprehensive. He begins with how milk is made in the lactating cell, and proceeds to the basics of cheese making and ice cream manufacture. He also gives extensive consideration to human milk, including breasts, lactation, and infant feeding. Pro and con arguments about the healthfulness of cows'' milk are discussed at length and with documentation. Patton explores the growing gap between the public''s impressions of milk, and known facts about milk and dairy foods. He argues that the layperson''s understanding of milk has deteriorated as a result of propaganda from activists anxious to destroy milk''s favorable image, misinformation in the media, and scare implications from medical research hypotheses.

Democracy and the Organization of Political Parties - Moisei Ostrogorski - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Democracy and the Organization of Political Parties - Moisei Ostrogorski - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Democracy and the Organization of Political Parties, originally published in 1902, represented the first serious attempt to analyze the consequences of democratic suffrage by a comparative analysis of political systems. As such, Ostrogorski''s two-volume study of the party system in Britain and the United States exerted profound influence on the subsequent writings of Max Weber and Robert Michels. A descriptive analyst of the party system in these two countries, Ostrogorski developed concepts and methods that an-ticipated by nearly half a century those later used by American and British political scientists. The core of Ostrogorski''s analysis is a detailed history of the rise of and changes within the party system in Britain and the United States, the first nations to introduce mass suffrage. While the emphasis of Democracy and the Organization of Political Parties is on the similar trends in the political parties of both countries, Ostrogorski also showed concern with the sources of differences between them. Seeking to explain these variations, he suggested a number of fundamental hypotheses about these two societies that con-tinue to be of relevance today. Lipset''s substantial introduction places Os-trogorski''s work within its historical context and assesses Ostrogorski''s im-pact and influence on both his contemporaries and on later political scien-tists.

The Transformation of Democracy - Charles Powers - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Transformation of Democracy - Charles Powers - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Combining a thorough introduction to the work of nineteenth and early twentieth-century Italian social theo-rist Vilfredo Pareto with a highly read-able English translation of Pareto''s last monograph, "Generalizations," origi-nally published in 1920, this work illus-trates precisely how and why demo-cratic forms of government undergo decay and are eventually re-invigo-rated. More than any other social scien-tist of his generation, Pareto offers a well-developed, articulate, and com-pelling theory of change based on a Newtonian vision of science and an en-gineering model of social equilibrium. In his introduction, Powers focusses on Pareto''s intellectual maturation and on his overall theory of society. Powers describes the various stages of Pareto''s development as engineer, economist, political scientist, and finally as sociol-ogist. He explains how Pareto consid-ered himself the Einstein of social sci-ence and how he introduced the con-cept of relativity into the social sci-ences. Even if such self-claims were rarely widely shared, the sense of Pareto''s originality is doubted by few, if any, contemporary scholars. This last, and in many ways most penetrat-ing, of Pareto''s briefer works, warns of the dangers which can befall demo-cratic order. It is important because, as his final attempt to clarify his ideas, it places his earlier works in perspective. Pareto generates a comprehensive the-ory of complex social phenomena.

Separating Fools from Their Money - Scott B. Macdonald - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

What do Michael Milken and Martha Stewart have in common? (Answer: Both became public scapegoats for an outrageous era of greed and excess.) What was the most outrageous party thrown by a financial baron of the twentieth century? (Answer: Tough call, but either Michael Milken''s Predators Ball in 1985, or Dennis Kozlowski''s Sardinian birthday bash in 2001, with its vodka-spouting sculpture.) Which U.S. war hero president became party to, and victim of, an unabashed con man known as the Napoleon of Wall Street? (Answer: Ulysses S. Grant, but it''s a long story.) These questions and more are discussed in Scott MacDonald and Jane Hughes'' Separating Fools from Their Money . The authors trace the history of financial scandals from the early days of the young republic through the Enron/WorldCom debacle of modern times. A host of colorful characters inhabit the pages of this history, revealing human nature in all of its dubious shades of gray. At the same time, the book exposes themes common to all financial scandals, which remain astonishingly unchanged over more than two centuries--greed, hubris, media connections, self-interested politicians, and booms-gone-bust, to name a few. Informative and entertaining, Separating Fools should engage the interest of investors and casual business readers, as well as economists interested in supplemental reading for their students. A new introduction focuses on trends since publication of the original, with a postscript on the financial panic of 2008.

Police, Military and Ethnicity - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Police, Military and Ethnicity - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

This collection of essays describes and analyzes the ways in which government policymakers go about designing police forces and militaries. The author includes both wide-ranging comparative investigations of the dimensions of the state security phenomenon and specific case studies. Dr. Enloe uses the sociological concept of ethnicity to demon-strate how the armed forces in sev-eral nations have capitalized on racial and ethnic diversity to foster their own goals and those of the government and power elites. She examines this idea by focusing on the ethnic factors involved in the evolution of the South African military, the military-ethnic con-nection in Malaysia, and the role of the armed forces in the conflict in Ulster. The author illustrates convin-cingly that not only individual citizens desire security, but that nation-states themselves are en-gaged in the same pursuit. What often passes for or is justified in the name of citizen protection is in fact done to strengthen the state itself. Militaries are recruited in ethni-cally skewed ways, and increasing numbers of police forces through-out the world have military capacities not to enhance the secu-rity of private individuals, but to protect the status quo of the central government and the nation''s "es-tablishment." Dr. Enloe covers an assortment of countries within the framework of her central argument, which is practically as well as theoretically significant. Each chapter can be read on its own, and all deal with currently salient political condi-tions.

The Wealth Weapon - Ben J. Wattenberg - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Wealth Weapon - Ben J. Wattenberg - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

When President Carter responded to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan by slapping an embargo on U.S. grain shipments to the U.S.S.R., he used "the wealth weapon" to defend American strategic interests and human rights, as authors Ben J. Wattenberg and Richard J. Whalen pro­pose in this book that breaks new ground in analyzing U.S. foreign pol­icy.Writing from their different per­sonal perspectives (as a liberal Demo­crat and a moderate Republican re­spectively), this pair of partisan ac­tivists offer a lively, balanced set of arguments, pro and con, for an activist U.S. foreign policy. They and a cast of invented characters representing op­posing viewpoints debate whether U.S. foreign trade and investments and American multinational corporations should be used to pursue national goals and objectives, especially in dealing with the communist nations.The authors argue that the post-Vietnam reduction of U.S. political influence and military strength over­seas gives future presidents little choice but to use the largely exploited economic strength and wealth-creat­ing ability of America to protect vital interests abroad - just as President Carter felt compelled to do on an ad hoc basis after the Soviets took over Afghanistan. They call for a consis­tent, long-term use of "the wealth weapon" in close coordination with U.S. allies and trading partners.As veteran political analysts and so­cial critics, the authors take a fresh, provocative and informative look at a phenomenon too often left to dry-as-dust economists: the role in the world of giant global corporations whose re­sources often dwarf those of nation-states. As they declare, the authors set out to write the first truly readable (and even enjoyable) book about multina­tional corporations - and they have succeeded amid a world crisis when their timely message anticipates to­morrow''s headlines.
