The Leisure Commons A Spatial History of Web 2.0

The Leisure Commons A Spatial History of Web 2.0
Payal Arora, "The Leisure Commons: A Spatial History of Web 2.0"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0415887119, 1138688045 | PDF | pages: 210 | 2.0 mb
There is much excitement about Web 2.0 as an unprecedented, novel, community-building space for experiencing, producing, and consuming leisure, particularly through social network sites. What is needed is a perspective that is invested in neither a utopian or dystopian posture but sees historical continuity to this cyberleisure geography. This book investigates the digital public sphere by drawing parallels to another leisure space that shares its rhetoric of being open, democratic, and free for all: the urban park. It makes the case that the history and politics of public parks as an urban commons provides fresh insight into contemporary debates on corporatization, democratization and privatization of the digital commons. This book takes the reader on a metaphorical journey through multiple forms of public parks such as Protest Parks, Walled Gardens, Corporate Parks, Fantasy Parks, and Global Parks, addressing issues such as virtual activism, online privacy/surveillance, digital labor, branding, and globalization of digital networks. Ranging from the 19th century British factory garden to Tokyo Disneyland, this book offers numerous spatial metaphors to bring to life aspects of new media spaces. Readers looking for an interdisciplinary, historical and spatial approach to staid Web 2.0 discourses will undoubtedly benefit from this text.

The Lebanese-Phoenician Nationalist Movement Literature, Language and Identity

The Lebanese-Phoenician Nationalist Movement Literature, Language and Identity
The Lebanese-Phoenician Nationalist Movement: Literature, Language and Identity By Basilius Bawardi
2016 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 1784532371 | PDF | 7 MB
The question of belonging has formed the basis of the political, religious and cultural tensions in Lebanon, to the point that sectarian conflict on the country's future contributed significantly to the outbreak of civil war in 1975. This book focuses on the development of the Phoenician-Lebanese movement that struggled against the hegemonic status of Arabic language and culture. The Phoenician-Lebanese were a predominantly Maronite Christian group who attempted to remove themselves from the Muslim and Arab world throughout the twentieth century. Their demands for self-definition as a nation and their desire to establish their own culture were rooted in the concept of their ancient Phoenician past. Basilius Bawardi examines four prominent authors who formed the basis on which all engaged so-called Phoenician literature was built: Sharl Qurm, Sa'id 'Aql, Mayy Murr and Muris 'Awwad. The literary corpus of these writers was a critical component of the political activity that strove to distinguish the native Lebanese inhabitants from their Arab-Muslim neighbours.Studying these authors' works in both a literary and historical way, Bawardi shows how language was used to promote a specific political agenda and identifies the strong connections between language, literature and nation building.As well as revealing the nationalist struggle as it emerges in prose and poetry, the book discusses the history and formation of modern day Lebanon and why language and literature are so crucial for members of a national minority.

The India Way Strategies for an Uncertain World

The India Way Strategies for an Uncertain World
S. Jaishankar, "The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9394407219, 9353579791 | 248 pages | EPUB | 0.78 MB
The global order is always evolving, and in that sense, change could well be seen as a constant factor. But that ongoing evolution has now been given a sharper edge by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, developments in Afghanistan, the Ukraine conflict and greater friction among key powers. 'One Trend and Four Shocks' are thus creating a new landscape. The 'Four Shocks' have, each in their own way, led to heightened global anxiety and insecurity. This era of upheaval entails greater expectations from India, putting it on the path to becoming a leading power. In The India Way, S. Jaishankar, India's Minister of External Affairs, analyses these challenges and spells out possible policy responses. In doing so, he is very conscious of balancing India's national interest with international responsibilities. He places this thinking in the context of history and tradition, appropriate for a civilizational power that seeks to reclaim its place on the world stage.

The History of the World from a Gambler's Perspective

The History of the World from a Gambler's Perspective
The History of the World from a Gambler's Perspective by Mason Malmuth
English | March 6, 2022 | ISBN: 1880685620 | 346 pages | EPUB | 13 Mb
Gambling is something that many of us participate in, and this can include a trip to a casino or perhaps a home game of poker. But it turns out gambling, or aspects of gambling, will appear in many places, and this, of course, includes history, and that s what this book is about. First, we ll define exactly what gambling is, explain why both luck and skill (or lack of skill) are important, and also define something called non-self-weighting strategies which just happens to be the right way to gamble. Then we ll venture into the world of history looking for those situations where great gambles were made, sometimes positive and sometimes negative, and find many other historical situations where aspects of gambling came into play that influenced what was about to happen. To be specific, we ll see how poor Goliath never had a chance, how Hernan Cortes was the luckiest man who ever lived, how the Spanish Armada had the wrong strategy, how Confederate General Braxton Bragg showed that it is better to be lucky than good, how Union General William T. Sherman understood how important poker was, how Wyatt Earp handled troublemakers, how middleweight champion of the world, Stanley Ketchel, would get himself flattened by a Jack Johnson punch, how Winston Churchill gave the English a chance to win World War II, how Benito Mussolini was what knowledgeable gamblers would refer to as a live one, how Leon Trotsky saved Soviet Russia, how a rain storm may have saved the United States, and much more. And finally, we ll see how Confederate General Robert E. Lee may have been the greatest gambler, and poker player, to have ever lived.
