On Screen and Off Cinema and the Making of Nazi Hamburg

On Screen and Off Cinema and the Making of Nazi Hamburg
Anne Berg, "On Screen and Off: Cinema and the Making of Nazi Hamburg"
English | ISBN: 0812253809 | 2022 | 200 pages | PDF | 5 MB
On Screen and Off shows that the making of Nazism was a local affair and the Nazi city a product of more than models and plans emanating from Berlin. In Hamburg, film was key in turning this self-styled "Gateway to the World" into a "Nazi city." The Nazi regime imagined film as a powerful tool to shape National Socialist subjects. In Hamburg, those very subjects chanced upon film culture as a seemingly apolitical opportunity to articulate their own ideas about how Nazism ought to work. Tracing discourses around film production and film consumption in the city,

Bill Pennington, author of the beloved and widely read "On Par" golf column for the New York Times, knows how to interpret the experts and pros for the rest of us. For years, he has traveled the globe in search of golf's essentials-those basic principles, those elusive truths (and who are we kidding, any trick or quick fix he can pick up along the way) that will improve anyone's game. He has consulted the world's leading golf instructors as well as countless caddies, groundskeepers, parking lot attendants, and bartenders. He has played rounds with Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, and Justin Timberlake. He has sought the advice of psychiatrists, physicists, economists, zen masters. And on a particularly bad golf outing, he has even discussed the fickleness of golf with a quite helpful raccoon.

Non-Western Encounters with Democratization Imagining Democracy after the Arab Spring

Non-Western Encounters with Democratization Imagining Democracy after the Arab Spring
Christopher K. Lamont, "Non-Western Encounters with Democratization: Imagining Democracy after the Arab Spring"
English | ISBN: 1472439716 | 2015 | 256 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Non-Western Encounters with Democratization offers diverse perspectives on democracy and transition spanning the Middle East and North Africa to East Asia. This unique collection of essays, drawn from contextually rich case studies presents readers with a variety of non-western encounters with democracy and provides important insights into the dramatic political and social transformations in these regions over the past decades. The book offers a deeper understanding of democratization and challenges the image of western democracy as a universal model to which non-western societies aspire. Taking the events of the Arab Spring as the starting point, international contributors look at why the uprisings that rapidly spread across North Africa and the Middle East had a strong resonance in East Asia but failed to inspire similar revolts. Through direct engagement with non-western experiences of political transition the book demonstrates a unique coherence across two regions relatively under explored in democratization literature.

No Document

No Document
No Document by Anwen Crawford
English | June 14, 2022 | ISBN: 1945492619 | True EPUB | 160 pages | 2.1 MB
Disappeared artworks, effaced histories, abandoned futures. No Document is an exploration of loss in its many forms, embracing histories of protest and revolution, art-making and cinema, and border policing. It is also an elegy for a friendship and artistic partnership cut short by death, an attempt to make a dear friend emerge from a field of memory, a document continuously emerging. In a bold work by one of Australia's leading writers, No Document shows how love, kinship, and resistance echo through time.

New Strategies for Social Innovation Market-Based Approaches for Assisting the Poor

New Strategies for Social Innovation Market-Based Approaches for Assisting the Poor
Steven Anderson, "New Strategies for Social Innovation: Market-Based Approaches for Assisting the Poor"
English | ISBN: 0231159226 | 2014 | 344 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Market-based development strategies designed to help the world's poor receive significant support from advocates, academics, governments, and the media, yet frequently the perceived success of these programs rests on carefully selected examples and one-sided, enthusiastic accounts. In practice, these approaches are often poorly defined and executed, with little balanced, comparative analysis of their true strengths and weaknesses.

Nationalism and Conflict Management

Nationalism and Conflict Management
Eric Taylor Woods, "Nationalism and Conflict Management"
English | ISBN: 0415520452 | 2012 | 130 pages | EPUB | 1456 KB
Ethno-national conflict is one of the central issues of modern politics. Despite the emergence of approaches to managing it, from nation-building to territorial autonomy, in recent years, the application of these approaches has been uneven. Old conflicts persist and new ones continually emerge. The authors of this book contend that what is needed to drive forward the theory and practice of ethno-national conflict management is a more nuanced understanding of ethnicity and nationalism.
