Abstract:
Poststructuralist audiovisual biography is written using a poststructuralist historical approach and audiovisual archives. This study presents a new method in writing concise and concise biographies for the purpose of making papers and publication articles. The problem is focused on how the writing technique is? Like poststructuralist history, this biography model departs from the actor's present situation in the past. The goal is to explore the actor’s experience that brought him to where he is now. The actor’s successness or failureness today depend on the capital (resources) he has. Are the

Abstract Nancy Dawson was famous for dancing the hornpipe during her short career on the London stage (1756-63). The tune to which she danced was quickly named after her and became popular as a ballad tune. After her death, “Nancy Dawson” was used as a name for race horses and boats and the tune took on a life of its own, while the dancer was forgotten. During her stage career she had been slandered in so-called Genuine Memoirs (quickly pirated as Authentic Memoirs) and attacked in satires over her liaison with the comic actor Edward Shuter.

A recording may also be considered sensitive if it is used in a racist context or for other stigmatizing practices.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractPolitical biographies and the narratives of the nation-state may exert a reciprocal fictional influence: the nation as imagined community is often embodied in the biographies of imaginary actors. Since the 2004 launch of the transitional justice process in Morocco this tendency has led to increased attention for the stories of the victims of the violations committed by the State between 1956 and 1999 as if they were the main witnesses of the political change. In parallel, the protagonists of the nationalist struggle that led to independence from the French protectorate in 1956 have been acknowledged without, apparently, feeling it necessary to hear what they have to say about it. This chapter reflects on theoretical and methodological perspectives that allow the use of biography to explore political change beyond taken-for-granted conceptions of the nation-state and its trajectories of change. Reflecting on the relationship that developed between the author and a single actor called Abk, who wanted to tell his life story, the chapter proposes the writing of biography as a form of archival research and a fieldwork practice for exploring memory. It shows how paying attention to personal ways of conserving memory and remembering enables us to approach politics beyond predefined horizons of change without seeing a priori social configurations as ineluctable givens. Such a perspective, which the author calls “discrete”, suggests considering politics as a phenomenon that is difficult to fit into formal models of explanation, and taking subjectivity, the variability of life paths and contingency as relevant objects of inquiry for understanding political change.

AbstractResearch on remittances mainly focuses on the nexus of migration and development, economic effects on the places of origin, and motives for remitting. However, little is known about the materiality of remittances. Drawing on a multi-sited ethnography in Stubai Valley (Austria) and Usṃak (Turkey), this chapter introduces the concept of remittance affordances by following the spatial and temporal trajectories of a crucial type of material remittances in the encountered research field, namely knives and tools manufactured by the Stubai cooperative. It examines the transformative effects of migration on the involved actors and the built landscape. I argue that in order to be appropriated in the intended way, the remitted objects depend on certain criteria, such as impact of the transactors’ relations, which are historically accumulated and hierarchically constituted, on the material and biography of the object and the bodily incorporated practices of usage.

Abstract:
AbstractImmigrants and refugees have contributed significant growth in the Canadian economy over the last three decades. Despite clear advantages of a smooth transition into the labour force, many newcomers experience multiple barriers impeding their pathways to sustainable livelihoods. Further, significant increases in refugee resettlement and asylum claims in Canada since 2015 resulted in a growing number of refugee newcomers entering the labour market, often facing additional challenges of precarious legal status while seeking employment. To interrogate the settlement landscape, this chapter examines newcomers’ employment-related needs, experiences, and aspirations through a case study of migrants and refugees in Greater Toronto. Using narrative-biographic interviews, the chapter presents an ethnographic approach to examine how individual migrants navigate labour market policies and settlement dynamics during their initial years. A biographical approach allowed us to focus on the interplay of migrant agency, precarity, and adaption to both long-standing labour market dynamics as well as new barriers and enablers brought on by the shifting sands of Canada’s pandemic affected economy. The chapter highlights how emotions, decisions, and actions are inter-related and coalesce with broader structural conditions within a network of actors – individuals, networks, and institutions – to shape the labour market experiences of recently arrived immigrants and refugees.

Abstract:
Drawing on collective biography, memory work, and diffractive analysis, this chapter examines childhood memories of our entanglements with plants. By approaching research as a ceremony, our goal is to reanimate the relationships we have shared with plants and places, illuminating multiple intra-actions and weaving different worlds together. Our collective ceremony of re-membering brings into focus how plants called us forward, evoked our gratitude and reciprocity, shared knowledge, and offered comfort, companionship, love, belongingness, and understanding throughout life. The process of our collective re-membering and writing has turned into a series of ceremonial gatherings and practices, bringing forth vivid memories, poetic expressions, and creative drawings. As humans, we have often (re)acted to plants’ generous gifts in meaningful gestures and communications that have co-created and made visible our deeply felt inter-species love and care.

These episodes underline how the meanings informing the ney are context-bound and socially constructed. The chapter also sketches out the incredibly rich sonic landscape of the city of Istanbul with which the ney interacts. Attention is given to the creation and consumption of new forms of ‘Sufi music’, and the popularization of Sufism sponsored by both private and state actors in Turkey, including the implications of these processes on the re-contextualization of the ney as a ‘spiritual sound.’

Abstract This introduction provides an overview of the contents of this biography of the Indian anticolonial anarchist M. P. T. Acharya. Explaining its rationale and major arguments, the chapter situates the book within existing literature and intellectual histories of anticolonialism and anarchism, accounting for its fresh contributions to these fields. Laying out the theoretical and methodological approaches, the chapter reflects on the process of writing a biography and the search for archives. Throughout, the chapter raises several important research questions that are central to understanding the multifarious and complex nature of Acharya’s trajectory through the underbelly of global political events: nationalism, anticolonialism exile, war, revolution, communism, anarchism, pacifism, freedom, and independence. These issues preoccupy this intellectual biography of Acharya, which accounts for the complex and entangled histories of anticolonialism and anarchism through a detailed exploration of his actions, wanderings, thoughts, and connections with key actors of the time.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses prosopography, which is defined as the investigation of the common background characteristics of a group of actors in history by means of a collective study of their lives. The etymology of the word suggests that prosopography is about describing or recording a person’s appearance or life, but prosopography differs from biography in that it analyses structured biographical data of groups of individuals that have something in common. Prosopography emerged primarily as a method for historical research. Outside of historical research, it is more commonly known as ‘group biography’ or ‘career-path analysis’. Prosopography has also been a key element of ‘field-based’ research on social groups and the sociology of professions, and is more of an approach than a method sui generis: it implies the systematic organization of data in such a way that connections and patterns that influence historical processes are revealed. The chapter then details the five stages of prosopography.

Abstract:
The article deals with the language problems of modern Russia in the context of new goals and methods of language policy research. In presentday conditions, the need for prognosis is actualized in order to increase the productivity of language policy measures,preventing ethnolinguistic conflicts. One of the ways to improve the effectiveness of language policy is considered in scenario method in regard of the development of language policy. The use of the scenario method for an expert assessment of the current language situation in the Russian Federation, its trends, ideologies and actors is one of the most efficient and should subsequently form the basis for language policy planning in the Russian Federation. In Russian and foreign scientific discourse, the issues of sociolinguistic prognosis have been poorely considered, therefore this scientific topic should be considered a new one, aimed at researching and forming the future of the languages of Russia. The article also considers the conceptual and methodological aspects of linguistic biography, on example of Taz ethnic group analyzes positive and critical discourses in the autobiographical narrations about native language, culture, historical memory, etc. Nowadays, in scientific discourse, linguistic biography is interpreted more broadly and develops especially actively in the context of interdisciplinary research. In this context,linguistic biography is understood as a linguistic reconstruction of the history of the people, as a rule, it does not have a specific textual form, it is projected through autobiographical narratives, in the form of long narrative texts. The main method of gaining knowledge about linguistic biography is interviews, broad autobiographical narratives, the central theme of which is language/ languages.

This introductory chapter sets out the book's purpose, which namely is to follow Thurgood Marshall from his civil rights practice in New York to Kenya under colonial rule. This story cannot be found in traditional sources for an American biography. The Bill of Rights that Marshall wrote for Kenya, for example, is not in any American archive, but in British colonial records in England. Marshall's African journey is not a triumphalist story of American law solving all problems. The legal ideas Marshall offered often were not American ones. And legal solutions did not create a legal edifice that would last for all time. Instead law could serve as a way station, giving political actors a way to talk to each other, a way to keep working together when things were hard.

Throughout the eighteenth century, the business of reprinting books was associated with abridging texts.
