Chinese Espresso - Grazia Ting Deng - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Chinese Espresso - Grazia Ting Deng - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Why and how local coffee bars in Italy—those distinctively Italian social and cultural spaces—have been increasingly managed by Chinese baristas since the Great Recession of 2008Italians regard espresso as a quintessentially Italian cultural product—so much so that Italy has applied to add Italian espresso to UNESCO’s official list of intangible heritages of humanity. The coffee bar is a cornerstone of Italian urban life, with city residents sipping espresso at more than 100,000 of these local businesses throughout the country. And yet, despite its nationalist bona fides, espresso in Italy is increasingly prepared by Chinese baristas in Chinese-managed coffee bars. In this book, Grazia Ting Deng explores the paradox of “Chinese espresso”—the fact that this most distinctive Italian social and cultural tradition is being preserved by Chinese immigrants and their racially diverse clientele. Deng investigates the conditions, mechanisms, and implications of the rapid spread of Chinese-owned coffee bars in Italy since the Great Recession of 2008. Drawing on her extensive ethnographic research in Bologna, Deng describes an immigrant group that relies on reciprocal and flexible family labor to make coffee, deploying local knowledge gleaned from longtime residents who have come, sometimes resentfully, to regard this arrangement as a new normal. The existence of Chinese espresso represents new features of postmodern and postcolonial urban life in a pluralistic society where immigrants assume traditional roles even as they are regarded as racial others. The story of Chinese baristas and their patrons, Deng argues, transcends the dominant Eurocentric narrative of immigrant-host relations, complicating our understanding of cultural dynamics and racial formation within the shifting demographic realities of the Global North.

Ferrari - Manden & bilerne - Jakob Andersen - Bog - Bella Macchina - Plusbog.dk

Ferrari - Manden & bilerne - Jakob Andersen - Bog - Bella Macchina - Plusbog.dk

Siden jeg var en ganske lille dreng, har jeg været fascineret af italienske biler og dermed også af Ferrari. Min far måtte således gang efter gang oplæse billedteksten på side 60 i Bil-Aarbogen 1954, som jeg fik i julegave kort efter min 4-års fødselsdag, og som stadig er at finde i min bogsamling. På den side er med billede og tekst beskrevet henholdsvis Ferrari 375 America og Ferrari 250 Europa, og jeg kunne bruge timer på at betragte disse biler. Min livslange passion for Ferrari tændtes for alvor i begyndelsen af 1966. Jeg havde skrabet lommepenge nok sammen til at kunne købe det dengang nye magasin Illustreret Motorrevue, som indeholdt en artikel om Ferrari. Der var billeder og beskrivelser af Ferraris prototyper, Ferrari P3 og Dino 206 S, som skulle forsvare både fabrikkens og Italiens farver i sæson 1966. Der var imidlertid også et stort billede af en Ferrari 275 GTB, som var klar til gadebrug for velhavende kunder, og som var lunten, der tændte Ferraridrømmene i en 15-årig biltosses hjerne. Ét er dog at se bilerne i et blad, et andet er at se dem i virkeligheden, men endelig i april 1966 så jeg ”min” første Ferrari. En englænder var på besøg i Vejle, hvor jeg er født og opvokset, og han var kørende i en Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2. Denne Ferrari var to dage i træk parkeret ud for Grand Hotel, og jeg tilbragte hele min fritid, men desværre også en del af skoletiden med at betragte denne bil. Dengang gik det op for mig, min unge alder til trods, hvad det betyder, når en bil ikke blot er en bil, men et kunstværk. Stående over for denne 250 GTE 2+2 og helt indhyllet i min egen drømmeverden, besluttede jeg mig for selv en dag at blive ejer af en Ferrari. I skolen måtte jeg tage min straf for at prioritere en Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 højere end undervisningen, men jeg var ligeglad - jeg havde set en Ferrari. Og ja, undervisningen var der jo både dagen og ugen efter, men det var Ferrarien ikke!. Mine drømme gik i opfyldelse, da jeg efter 32 års ’ventetid’ kunne sætte mig bag rattet i min egen Ferrari. Det var en Mondial Quattrovalvole, men det var nok verdens mest specielle Mondial. Den blev indrettet og godkendt som skolevogn til glæde for mange unge kørekortaspiranter i Nakskov og omegn på et tidspunkt, hvor der kun var 16 Ferrarier indregistreret på danske nummerplader. Senere kom en 328 GTS og en Fiat Dino til at fylde lidt op i garagen, og på den måde har jeg været både privilegeret og heldig med at kunne udleve mine Ferraridrømme.

Con Artists in Cinema - Joseph Kupfer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Con Artists in Cinema - Joseph Kupfer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the con artist film as a genre, exploring its main features while also addressing variations within it. The volume explores three diverse themes of the con artist film: edification, self-awareness, and liberation through con games; the femme fatale as con artist; and romantic love as a plot point. Analyzing movies such as Matchstick Men (2003), House of Games (1987), Body Heat (1981), The Last Seduction (1994), Birthday Girl (2001), and The Game (1997), the book also explores their psychological investigation of the con artist figure, the con artist’s mark, and how the dynamic between these roles implicates us as the audience. It also addresses the con artist film genre’s close association with neo-noir, especially through the femme fatale figure, investigating and updating the rich tradition of noir film. Demonstrating the range and flexibility of this understudied genre, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of film studies, ethics, and those studying the representation of women in film. .

Con Dios - Johan - Bog - Eksistensen - Plusbog.dk

Con Dios - eller ""Med Gud"" er titlen på et nyt konfirmand-materiale fra Aros Underviser. I elevhæftet er der lagt vægt på en stærk billedside og en sproglig tone, som konfirmanderne er fortrolig med. Med korte tekster kommer konfirmanderne omkring tro, tvivl, Gud, hvem er jeg, korsfæstelsen, bøn m.m. De centrale emner inden for kristendommen tages op, men vinklen og sproget er fornyet, så det appellerer til, at konfirmanderne også læser af lyst. Denne tredje udgave af vejledningen til Con Dios er en lettere bearbejdning af anden udgave. Formatet er ændret, og en række ikke-aktuelle afsnit er udgået.

The Big Con - David Maurer - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The Big Con - David Maurer - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

''Of all the gifters, the confidence man is the aristocrat, '' wrote David Maurer, a proposition he definitively proved in The Big Con. A professor of linguistics who specialised in underworld argot, Maurer won the trust of hundreds of swindlers. They let him in on not simply their language, but their folkwrys and the astonishingly complex and elaborate schemes whereby unsuspecting marks, hooked by their own greed and dishonesty were ''taken off'' - i. e. , cheated - of thousands upon thousands of dollars. The products of amazing ingenuity, crack timing and attention to every last detail, these ''big cons'', as thoroughly scripted and rehearsed as any Hollywood production, richly deserve Maurer''s description as ''the most effective swindling device which man has ever invented. '' The Big Con is a treasure trove of American lingo (the write, the rag, the pay-off, ropers, shills, the cold poke and the convincer) and indeliable characters (Yellow Kid Weil, Barney the Patch, the Seldom-Seen Kid, Limehouse Chappie and Larry the Lug). First published in 1940, The Big Con makes compelling reading whilst being the most authentic and utterly authoritative study on the con artist and his game.

The Long Con - Dylan Meconis - Bog - Oni Press,US - Plusbog.dk

The Long Con - Dylan Meconis - Bog - Oni Press,US - Plusbog.dk

The world is over, but the con has just begun. Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a fifty mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Center—right in the middle of Long Con, the world's biggest (and longest) pop culture convention. Underdog reporter Victor Lai barely escaped with his life, but his nerdy friend Dez Delaney—publicist for an indie darling comics publisher—wasn't so lucky. Now, Victor finds himself with the story of a lifetime—that the con-goers not only survived inside the center's cavernous Cold War-era halls... they kept the convention going. It doesn't take long for Victor to get trapped inside, find Dez, and run afoul of a totalitarian sci-fi fandom ruled by a mysterious figure known as "the Special Guest." Breaking out is impossible, and resistance is futile—but maybe, just maybe, Dez and Victor can recruit some unexpected allies from the warring factions of fans, pros, and D-list celebrities that still roam the show floor... Collects issues #1-#5 of the Oni Press series THE LONG CON.
