McCarroll, Patricia, and John Hassard. Once Upon a Time in Facilities Management. Oxford University Press, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/9780191943492.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This book explores the storied spaces and narrative archetypes of a secondary business service, using facilities management (FM) as an example of non-core and increasingly outsourced organizational activities. The centrepiece is the development of artificial folklore, a research approach combining organizational analysis, storytelling, and folklore for interpretive purposes. An in-depth exploration of FM is developed; one exploring people, place, and process in a project revealing elements of organizational liminality as well as professional enchantment. This leads to concentration on the storytelling nature of secondary services, specifically utilizing the genre of fairytales to investigate narrative patterns within FM’s cultural environment. In the process, three modes of FM delivery are identified: consultancy provision, service provision, and in-house provision; modes which are narratively demarcated as professionals tell both deconstructed and reconstructed tales about their work. What is revealed is a recognized understanding across the three provider groups of their role as the ‘necessary evil’ of business organization, and notably as represented—in folkloric terms—by the shadow archetype. Ultimately, the artificial folklore approach developed in this book produces ghostwritten tales for each of the main FM provider streams; tales which reflect symbolically, the consultancy provider’s Hansel and Gretel, the service provider’s Goldilocks, and the in-house provider’s Cinderella organizational motifs. The outcome of this inquiry is a new diagnostic approach to the study of management, work, and organization—one linking elements of social theory, narrative analysis, and the business imaginary.

Gökmen, M. Refik, and Graham M. Lord. Aristolochic acid nephropathy caused by ingestion of herbal medicinal products. Edited by Adrian Covic. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199592548.003.0089.
Full textAbstract:
Aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) is a rapidly progressive renal disease caused by the ingestion of plant products containing aristolochic acid (AA), first described in connection with the use of Chinese herbal medicines. Although the true worldwide extent of this disease is unknown, it is likely to represent a significant cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in many parts of the world. Furthermore, recent data have also demonstrated that AA is also the primary aetiological agent in Balkan endemic nephropathy. AAN is notable in its association with urothelial malignancy, with the mechanisms of carcinogenesis now well characterized. Aside from a possible role for corticosteroid therapy in slowing disease progression in selected patients, no disease-specific treatments have yet been shown to alter the course of this nephropathy. Therefore, prevention of exposure to AA and, in affected patients, effective management of the risk of malignancy are key principles in the approach to this condition. Although preparations containing Aristolochia spp. and herbs that can be confused or substituted for Aristolochia have been banned in many countries, other herbal products containing AA have continued to be available to consumers long after these bans have been instituted, highlighting the ongoing need for awareness of this disease.

Full textAbstract:
U.S. Latinos have made important contributions to American society, and this biographical dictionary is devoted to celebrating those contributions. All 127 men and women profiled in this work have immigrated to or been born in the United States and have made major contributions to American life and culture. Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and others of Spanish, South American, Central American and Caribbean heritage—more than one-third of them women—represent 35 fields of endeavor and all 50 states. From historical figures to the newest sports champion, figure-skater Rudy Galindo, this work provides profiles of both prominent and important but less-familiar people who have made significant contributions in their fields. Many of those profiled can be found in no other biographical source. A selection of photos complements the text. All biographies have been written by experts in their ethnic fields. Those profiled range widely from distinguished scientists to sports stars, from actors to activists, from businesswomen to political personalities, from literary luminaries to labor organizers. All are potential role models for young men and women, and many have overcome extreme odds to succeed. These colorfully written, substantive biographies detail their subjects' goals, struggles, and commitments to success and to their ethnic communities. Among the 127 people profiled are: Nobel Prize-winning scientist Luis Alvarez; Treasurer of the United States Romana Acosta Bañuelos; actor/composer/activist Rubén Blades; classical dancer Fernando Bujones; baseball player José Canseco; U.S. Secretary of Education Lauro Cavazos Jr.; writer Sandra Cisneros; fashion designer Oscar de la Renta; U.S. Congressman Lincoln DÍaz-Balart; teacher Jaime Escalante; composer/singer Gloria Estefan; tennis players Gigi Fernández and Mary Joe Fernández ; playwright Mara Fornés; U.S. Men's 1996 Figure Skating Champion Rudy Galindo; physician/political activist Héctor GarcÍa; Coca-Cola CEO Roberto Goizueta; labor leader Dolores Huerta; U.S. Ambassador MarÍa-Luci Jaramillo; artist Marisol; civil-rights activist Vilma Socorro MartÍnez; businessman/politician Jorge Mas Canosa; federal judge Harold Medina; graphic artist Nicholasa Mohr; U.S. Surgeon General Antonia Novello; astronaut Ellen Ochoa; Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Severo Ochoa; TV personality Geraldo Rivera; U.S. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen; educational psychologist George I. Sánchez; newspaper editor Roberto Suárez; women's rights activist/businesswoman MarÍa Elena Toraño-PantÍn; New York State Supreme Court Judge Edwin Torres; mystic Teresa Urrea; film producer/director Luis Valdez. For ease of use, the heading of each profile identifies ethnic group, field of endeavor, birthdate and, where appropriate, death date. Each profile concludes with a suggested reading list of books and periodical articles about the subject. An ethnic index, field of endeavor index, and a general index make research easy. This much needed reference work is essential for school and public libraries.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides a comparative analysis of pharmaceutical expenditure levels across major global markets. It identifies several factors for the difference across countries, including national income, spending on overall healthcare, price for substitutable healthcare products and services, age distribution, patient and physician tastes and preferences, and even culture. The discussion focuses on seven of the largest national markets outside the United States: Japan, China, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Brazil. While there are notable differences between these markets, one especially important commonality distinguishes them from the United States: in every single market, the central government plays a pivotal role in the determination of drug prices by using its monopsonist power in negotiations with and regulations of drug manufacturers.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid advancement in encryption and network computing gave birth to new tools and products that have influenced the local and global economy alike. One recent and notable example is the emergence of virtual currencies, also known as cryptocurrencies or digital currencies. Virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, introduced a fundamental transformation that affected the way goods, services, and assets are exchanged. As a result of their distributed ledgers based on blockchains, cryptocurrencies not only offer some unique advantages to the economy, investors, and consumers, but also pose considerable risks to users and challenges for regulators when fitting the new technology into the old legal framework. This chapter offers a nontechnical discussion of several aspects and features of virtual currencies and a glimpse at what the future may hold for these decentralized currencies.

Rentz, David, and You Ning Su. Guide to Crickets of Australia. CSIRO Publishing, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9781486305070.
Full textAbstract:
Cricket song is a sound of the Australian bush. Even in cities, the rasping calls signify Australia’s remarkable cricket biodiversity. Crickets are notable for a variety of reasons. When their population booms, some of these species become agricultural pests and destroy crop pastures. Some introduced species are of biosecurity concern. Other crickets are important food sources for native birds, reptiles and mammals, as well as domestic pets. Soon you might even put them in your cake or stir-fry, as there is a rapidly growing industry for cricket products for human consumption.
 Featuring keys, distribution maps, illustrations and detailed colour photographs from CSIRO’s Australian National Insect Collection, A Guide to Crickets of Australia allows readers to reliably identify all 92 described genera and many species from the Grylloidea (true crickets) and Gryllotalpoidea (mole crickets and ant crickets) superfamilies. Not included are the Raspy Crickets (Gryllacrididae), King Crickets (Anostostomatidae) or the so-called ‘Pygmy Mole Crickets’ (Caelifera), which despite their common names are not related to true crickets. Natural history enthusiasts and professionals will find this an essential guide.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 2 discusses the role of the producer, the concept of instrumentality, and how the recording studio has come to be conceptualized as an instrument since the mid-twentieth century. As exemplified by the practices of producers in the 1950s (Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller) and the 1960s (Phil Spector, the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, and Motown’s Berry Gordy), early iterations of the studio as musical instrument entailed a collaborative process of working with musicians and studio personnel. In the early 1970s playing the studio as musical instrument took on a new meaning in the hands of Jamaican dub producers like King Tubby, who forewent working with musicians in the studio and instead reimagined and remixed prerecorded tracks by playing the equipment of the studio. This approach was furthered by hip-hop producers in New York, notably the Bomb Squad, who incorporated the sampler into their studio-playing practices. Finally, a glimpse into the practices of Max Martin demonstrates that in contemporary music production DAWs are the de facto instrument.

Full textAbstract:
Durante 1990, los precios de los productos forestales de mayor comercialización en el mercado interno, presentaron una nítida tendencia al alza hasta mediados del período, para luego tender a disminuir como resultado, principalmente de la relativa desactivación del mercado que originó el ajuste macroeconómico del primer semestre, y también, la incertidumbre provocada por el conflicto en el Golfo Pérsico. Los precios de exportación de los productos forestales chilenos mostraron una tendencia variable, de acuerdo a la evolución que se observó para cada mercado en el ámbito internacional. Respecto al sector de pulpa y papel, se confirma el período de baja, con significativos incrementos en los inventarios mundiales, disminuciones en las tasas de operación de las empresas, menores utilidades de las mismas y consecuentemente, precios inferiores en la mayoría de los productos. Sin embargo, la declinación de la actividad no alcanzó los niveles pronosticados a fines de 1989. El sector del aserrío y elaboración disfrutó de un año de alta demanda, durante el cual los precios tuvieron notables incrementos.

Full textAbstract:
The Overseas Trade of British America: A Narrative History is a comprehensive account of the emergence of the United States from the perspective of trade. The author traces the roots of the American commercial economy from mid-sixteenth-century Tudor England through the early years of the American republic at the dawn of the nineteenth century. The trade of colonial America is notable for the access it offered a wide range of participants. Open access (real or illusory) remains a dominant theme of the American economy to the present day. Colonial trade is notable as well for its readiness to exploit opportunity wherever it lay, and many of those opportunities lay across international borders in violation of the British Navigation Acts. The most significant feature of colonial trade is its intimate links to chattel slavery and the Atlantic slave trade. Virtually every aspect of colonial commerce bore some connection—direct or indirect. Most obvious is the slave trade itself, which carried roughly 3.5 million African captives to British America between 1619 and 1807. It was enslaved Africans who produced colonial America’s leading exports — tobacco, sugar, and rice. And enslaved Africans were a conspicuous presence on the docks and in the warehouses of northern colonial ports. This book is an account of opportunity-seeking, risk-taking producers, merchants, and mariners converting the potential of the New World into individual livelihoods and national wealth. The history of colonial trade is part of something much larger: the creation of the modern global economy.

Kritsky, Gene, ed. A Cultural History of Insects In Antiquity. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781474203807.
Full textAbstract:
A CULTURAL HISTORY OF INSECTS IN ANTIQUITY A Cultural History of Insects covers the period from 1000 BCE to 500 CE. As different cultures expanded so did their interactions with insects, largely seen as vectors of disease and as agricultural and bodily pests. However, as knowledge of insects grew, insect products were developed, notably honey or beeswax as used in food, preservation, medicine, and religious ritual. Insects were feared but were also invested with great power, even sanctity. The jewelry of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome fashioned insects into symbols of the beauty of nature, whilst literary and sacred texts transformed insects into metaphors for fertility and immortality. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Insects presents the first comprehensive history from antiquity to today of all forms and aspects of human-insect interaction. The themes covered in each volume are insect knowledge; insects and disease; insects and food; insect products; insects in mythology and religion; insects as symbols; insects in literature and language; and insects in art. The Cultural Histories Series A Cultural History of Insects is part of The Cultural Histories Series. Titles are available as hardcover sets for libraries needing just one subject or preferring a tangible reference for their shelves or as part of a fully-searchable digital library. The digital product is available to institutions by annual subscription or on perpetual access via www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com.

The first decades of the eighteenth-century were marked by the rise of sociable clubs of like-minded wits, writers, and politicians, notably the Whig-sympathetic Kit-Cats. Addison and Steele collaborated on periodical publications including the Tatler and the Spectator, with essays on contemporary taste and literary culture. Tory sympathizers including Jonathan Swift produced satiric commentary in publications such as the Examiner. Pope and Swift formed a loose association of satirists, The Scriblerians, which produced The Memoirs of Martin Scriblerus.

Full textAbstract:
This book is the first full length biography of Robert (c.1088 × 90–1147), grandson of William the Conqueror and eldest son of King Henry I of England (1100–35). He could not succeed his father because he was a bastard. Instead, as the earl of Gloucester, Robert helped change the course of English history by keeping alive the prospects for an Angevin succession through his leadership of its supporters in the civil war known as the Anarchy against his father’s successor, King Stephen (1135–54). The earl is one of the great figures of Anglo-Norman History (1066–1154). He was one of only three landed super-magnates of his day, a model post-Conquest great baron, Marcher lord, borough developer, and patron of the rising merchant class. His trans-Channel barony stretched from western Lower Normandy across England to South Wales. He was both product as well as agent of the contemporary cultural revival known as the Renaissance of the Twelfth Century, bilingual, well educated, and a significant literary patron. In this last role, he is especially notable for commissioning the greatest English historian since Bede, William of Malmesbury, to produce a history of their times which justified the Empress Matilda’s claim to the English throne and Earl Robert’s support of it.

Since well before the Abbey Theatre set its sights on America in 1911, Irish theatre has had strong ties with American theatre culture. Over the course of the twentieth century, touring productions of Irish plays have continued to have an impact on American theatre culture. From Eugene O’Neill on, Irish ethnicity within the US has been explored and defined by Irish-American theatre-makers, who have taken Irish theatre in directions that sometimes diverge in significant ways from Irish theatre produced in Ireland. At the same time, as Sam Shepard’s recent collaboration with the Abbey Theatre suggests, American theatre has had a notable impact on Irish stages. This chapter will look at the complex interactions linking Irish-produced theatre in America, indigenous Irish American theatre, and the role of American theatre in shaping Irish theatre culture.

Full textAbstract:
This essay offers a detailed overview of the full range of prose fiction produced in Britain in the 1750s. Beyond the handful of familiar canonical texts, this decade produced more than 200 now-forgotten novels, across an unexpected variety of genres. Recent expansions of the canon—most notably the feminist recovery project—still ignore most of these texts. Looked at seriously, they perturb some major preconceptions about mid-century fiction, including the importance of mimetic realism, the predominance of sentimentalism, and assumptions about the genre’s didactic functions. These questions come together, at the end of the essay, in a detailed discussion of episodic comic fiction that appeared in the wake of Fielding’s Tom Jones.

Full textAbstract:
This book is an exploration of the musico-theatrical practices in Brazil from the Jesuit morality plays of the sixteenth century to the Italian operas celebrating the new independent nation in the 1820s, as expressed by the creative minds and bodies of actors, singers, poets, and composers. The book shows how the threefold goal of instructing, entertaining, and distracting the population—which a Brazilian producer spelled out in 1825—had been present in diverse combinations since the early colonial period, at the hands of missionaries, intellectuals, bureaucrats, political leaders, and cultural producers. The six chapters approach these issues from different perspectives, while offering a comprehensive view of the multiple aspects of musico-dramatic production in Portuguese America. Individual chapters discuss the foundations of Brazilian musical theater in the appropriation and adaptation of Iberian autos and comédias, the creation of a distinctive type of Portuguese comic opera by a Brazilian playwright during the early eighteenth century, the extant musical sources, and the sociopolitical context that determined the opening of dozens of opera houses during the second half of the eighteenth century. While showing a remarkable continuity between theatrical practices in Portugal and those in its largest colony, through the circulation of artists and repertory, this book also demonstrates notable differences in the ethnic and gender profile of theatrical workers; in the modifications determined by local tastes, priorities, and materials; and in the political use of theater as an ideological and civilizing tool.

This chapter examines the impact of noir aesthetic in the work of the Walt Disney Studio, which produced some of the most pointedly noir-styled cartoons of the period. The most notable of these cartoons is a series of Donald Duck films: Donald's Crime (1945), Duck Pimples (1945), and The Trial of Donald Duck (1948). These cartoons show how deeply a noir aesthetic had penetrated American culture, for they repeatedly plunge Disney's top star of the period not into the world of oversaturated colors that Disney had pioneered in American animation, or musical-style narratives in which the studio had lately starred him, but into a consistently dark, strangely composed, and highly subjective realm.

Full textAbstract:
Moroccan culture today is a blend of Berber, African, Arab, Jewish, and European influences in an Islamic state. Morocco's strategic position at the tip of North Africa just below Spain has brought these cultures together through the centuries. The parallels with African and Middle Eastern countries and other Muslim cultures are drawn as the major topics are discussed, yet the uniqueness of Moroccan traditions, particularly those of the indigenous Berbers, stand out. The narrative emphasizes the evolving nature of the storied subcultures. With more exposure to Western-style education and pop culture, the younger generations are gradually turning away from the strict religious observances of their elders. General readers finally have a substantive resource for information on a country most known in the United States for the Humphrey Bogart classic Casablanca, images of the souks (markets), hashish, and Berber rugs. The strong introduction surveys the people, land, government, economy, educational system, and history. Most weight is given to modern history, with French colonial rule ending in 1956 and a succession of monarchs since then. The discussion of religion and worldview illuminates the Islamic base and Jewish communities but is also notable for the discussion of Berber beliefs in spirits. In the Literature and Media chapter, the oral culture of the Berbers and the new preference for Western-style education and use of French and even English are highlights. The Moroccans are renowned as skilled artisans, and their products are enumerated in the Art and Architecture/Housing chapter, along with the intriguing descriptions of casbahs and old quarters in the major cities. Moroccans are hospitable and family oriented, which is reflected in descriptions of their cuisine and social customs. Moroccan women seem to be somewhat freer than others in Muslim countries but the chapter on Gender Roles, Marriage, and Family shows that much progress is still needed. Ceremonies and celebrations are important cultural markers that bring communities together, and a wealth of religious, national, and family rites of passage, with accompanying music and dance, round out the cultural coverage.

Full textAbstract:
Excretion is the removal of metabolic wastes such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, ions and water as well as toxic xenobiotics and metals. The process involves the gills, kidney, liver and rectal gland (elasmobranchs and coelacanth). In the liver, amino acids, haemoglobin, steroids and molecules resulting from human activities are transformed to excretable products. The rectal gland excretes ions, notably Na+ and Cl−. The kidney in teleosts has a distinction between an anterior head-kidney containing haematopoietic tissue and endocrine tissue and the posterior region with nephrons (kidney tubules). Fish nephrons generally have a Malphigian corpuscle with a glomerulus but the structure varies between fish taxa and some marine teleosts lack a glomerulus. Control systems for fish excretion are unclear but it is expected that various hormones influence excretory homeostasis.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This book is about Saudi Arabia’s efforts to overhaul its economy and the numerous prospects and challenges it faces in doing so. As the Kingdom is one of the world’s leading oil producers, the outcomes of the most ambitious wave of reforms Saudi Arabia has ever undertaken will provide valuable lessons not only for the Kingdom itself but also for other oil-dependent and resource-based economies. The subject of Saudi Arabia’s economy—being the largest in the Middle East and among the world’s top eighteen economies—is of great interest to policy-makers, academics, journalists, and analysts at large. Saudi Arabia plays a systemic role and its future economic fate will impact all in the region. Since 2016, Saudi Arabia has embarked on an unparalleled economic—if not social and political—transformation project with an ultimate aim of diversifying away from oil. New sources of growth such as tourism, industry, and entertainment have been identified, but it remains to be seen whether these will be enough to carry the economy forward in the post-oil era. Reforms, including lowering energy subsidies and instituting VAT and indirect taxes on labour and businesses, have already produced notable results. Looking ahead, the economy requires a rigorous and continuous process of severe competition among its private sector participants, strong institutions, and scope for creative destruction to run its course within the wider economy. The economic reform experiment undertaken by Saudi Arabia remains to date among the most sweeping that emerging market economies—and certainly those in the Middle East—have witnessed for decades.

Full textAbstract:
A CULTURAL HISTORY OF INSECTS IN THE RENAISSANCE A Cultural History of Insects in the Renaissance covers the period from 1300 to 1600, examining the profound impact of insects on the flowering of culture. In the early part of this period, the unprecedented number of deaths caused by the Plague – spread in part by fleas – encouraged the later rise of a middle class. Meanwhile, much of the wealth which funded Renaissance politics and patronage came from trade in honey, silk, and insect dyes, notably cochineal, one of the most valuable exports from the New World. And, as perceptions of humans and the natural world changed, interest in insects shifted from the symbolic to the scientific. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Insects presents the first comprehensive history from antiquity to today of all forms and aspects of human-insect interaction. The themes covered in each volume are insect knowledge; insects and disease; insects and food; insect products; insects in mythology and religion; insects as symbols; insects in literature and language; and insects in art.

Full textAbstract:
This book is an account of the life and times of a loose friendship group (later christened the Oxford Group) of ten people, primarily postgraduate philosophy students, who attended the University of Oxford for a short period of time from the late 1960s. The Oxford Group, which included—most notably—Peter Singer and Richard Ryder, set about thinking about, talking about, and promoting the idea of animal rights and vegetarianism. The group therefore played a role, largely undocumented and unacknowledged, in the emergence of the animal rights movement and the discipline of animal ethics. Most notably, the group produced an edited collection of articles published as Animals, Men and Morals in 1971 that was instrumental in one of their number—Peter Singer—writing Animal Liberation in 1975, a book that has had an extraordinary influence in the intervening years. The book serves as a case study of how the emergence of important work and the development of new ideas can be explained, and, in particular, how far the intellectual development of individuals is influenced by their participation in a creative community.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses questions of neoliberalism and gender surveillance in a post-9/11 era. Working through an account of the situation of trans people in the USA provided by Leslie Feinberg’s novel “Drag King Dreams”, the chapter discusses the boundaries of citizenship in a system that actively attempts to exclude, alienate, and violate certain identities, particularly transgender individuals and racialized or religious ‘others’. The chapter highlights aspects of non-conformity and the governmental practices that are triggered by deviances from mainstream norms. It critically engages the hardships for individuals that are produced from such governmental practices, most notably surveillance.

Full textAbstract:
The illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem driven by a number of factors (e.g. subsistence, alternative medicine, accessories, the pet trade). High demand for illicit wildlife products is threatening the existence of many of the most-endangered species. By unsustainably removing coveted species from the wild, communities that depend on such species for subsistence or eco-tourism will be adversely impacted by depleting populations. Laws and regulations have been implemented over the years, most notably CITES, to regulate the commercial trade in wildlife and prohibit trade in other species that are at-risk of overexploitation albeit with mixed success. Criminologists have recently entered the fold and provided insight to the wildlife trade through various perspectives. Researchers are beginning to better understand why and how the trade operates and what solutions might be implemented to reduce it. The article ends with implications for future research.

Ferrarese, Estelle. The Fragility of Concern for Others. Translated by Steven Corcoran. Edinburgh University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474467391.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
The book’s underlying project is to renew and sharpen Critical Theory through feminism. It aims to develop our thinking about the social conditions of caring for others, while arguing for an understanding of morality that is materialist and political – always-already political. Offering the first systematic study of the idea of “coldness” in Adorno’s philosophy, Ferrarese’s book is the first to stage a dialogue between Adornian Critical Theory and the ethics of care. It thereby endeavours to think through the mechanisms of the social fragility of caring for others, the moral gesture it enjoins, as well as its political stakes. In so doing, it is able to approach old question in a new light in a bid to give dignity to the singular, to make heard its specific claims, its moral pertinence. It explains how the capitalist form of life produces certain moral attitudes and it shows that the capitalist form of life, strained by a generalised indifference, nevertheless produces a compartmentalised attention to others, one limited to very particular tasks and domains and attributed to women. Finally, it shows that even though caring for others has historically burgeoned in specific conditions of subordination (those of gender notably), this by no means permits us to conclude as to the vacuity of its normative content.

Olsen, Dale A. Flutes That Talk. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252037887.003.0003.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter works with a concept that seems common in many animistic cultures, where flutes talk rather than produce music. Many flutists in European-derived cultures often refer to their instrument's sound as its “voice,” which is usually a reference to its tone color. In the jazz world, most notably with flutist (and saxophonist) Rahsaan Roland Kirk, humming into the flute while blowing it during improvisations creates very raspy tone colors. Flutist D. J. Sterling refers to his own playing/humming style as “the talking flute,” and others have imitated him. The chapter focuses on two flute techniques: imitation of speech tones on a flute and flute-speak or flute-think.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses how, starting in the 1940s, historical writing in Brazil was gradually professionalized and then pluralized under the impact of Western historiographical trends such as Marxism, the Annales School, and dependency theory. With the independence of Brazil in 1822, gentlemen scholars began to produce the first notable historical works that helped define the nation’s identity, particularly focusing on Brazil’s culturally and racially mixed heritage of Africans, Native Americans, and Portuguese. Professional academic history began to emerge in the 1940s and 1950s, taking off after 1960. Over the last half-century, Brazilians have constructed a very sophisticated and vibrant community of professional historians writing for both academic and non-academic audiences. Although historical writing in Brazil over the last century has been deeply influenced by US and European historians, Brazilian historical writing today is largely shaped by domestic issues and concerns.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most notable characteristics of Western societies has been the development of individual and group rights in legal, theological, and philosophical thought of the first two millennia. It has often been noted that thinkers in Non-Western societies have not had the same preoccupation with rights. The very concept of rights is laden with numerous problems. Universality is the most basic and difficult. If human rights are only a product of Western ideas of justice, they cannot have universality. In an age that is dominated by conceptions of law embracing some form of legal positivism, many scholars recognize only individual rights that have been established by the constitutional jurisprudence of individual countries or their legal systems. Historically, the emergence of rights in European jurisprudence is intimately connected with the terms ius naturale and lex naturalis in Western jurisprudence and theological thought. Human beings may never agree on universal rules of a natural law, but they might agree on universal precepts that shape the penumbra of rights surrounding natural rights.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the development of Brazil’s inward-oriented industrialization strategy, commonly termed “import-substitution industrialization” (ISI). Originating in the 1930s under the corporatist administration of Getúlio Vargas, by the 1960s the strategy had succeeded in transforming the structure of the Brazilian economy, turning it into a major industrial powerhouse. Successful though the strategy initially was in promoting growth and structural change, it nevertheless suffered from inherent flaws, notably its heavy reliance on imported inputs and a failure to produce and export efficient industrial sector. This chapter considers the achievements and failings of ISI in some detail and also discusses the results of attempts to reintroduce the strategy on a limited scale in the first decade of the 2000s.

Full textAbstract:
Arguing that Smith’s spectator is notable for its bridging skepticism and Kant’s sense of a unified subject, but wanting in its presenting a somewhat cosy, moralized, and self-sustaining sense of self, this chapter brings in the more unsettling views of spectating propounded by William Hazlitt. Hazlitt takes up the ideas propounded by Smith and Kant, but refuses to entertain the idea of there being a certain or sustained sense of self outside of the effort of self presenting. The characters of King Lear, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are used to illustrate this argument. In this sense the self is constantly being produced through spectating, and hence is always living alongside itself, so to speak, often in uncanny ways. The self is its continual attempt at self presenting. In relation to strategic inquiry, this places the work of strategy centre stage, literally, as that process of inquiry by which any organization is brought into meaningful form.

Hughes, Charles. Country Music and the Recording Industry. Edited by Travis D. Stimeling. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190248178.013.6.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the role of the recording industry in framing and fueling the development of country music from the 1920s to the present. It primarily examines the way that artists, producers, and record companies developed and manipulated the tenacious debate between “tradition” and “crossover” that continues to structure the music as art, commodity, and cultural symbol. The notion of country authenticity is a function of the attempt to establish country as a distinct and sellable genre. While the recording industry (particularly in Nashville) often gets cast as the villain in debates over country “authenticity,” this chapter suggests that a historical examination of this relationship reveals a more complicated story that has marked the careers of artists from Jimmie Rodgers to Taylor Swift. Swift’s notable work with social media, viral videos, and other components of the media landscape facing recording artists in the 2000s is the latest iteration of a much longer story for country artists, audiences, and record labels.

Full textAbstract:
Although Bester spoke disapprovingly of his early career, dismissing all of his stories written before 1950 as juvenilia, he produced several promising works in the early 1940s, most notably “The Probable Man,” “Adam and No Eve,” and “Hell Is Forever.” These stories appeared in leading markets such as Astounding and Unknown but pushed beyond them, at once invoking and subverting the conventions of the standard techno-adventure. This chapter demonstrates that even at this early stage in his career, Bester experimented with SF reading protocols in highly self-conscious ways. It also traces the emergence of key elements of his approach, including the use of hybrid SF-mystery plots, metanarration, metafictional references, the frame story, pastiche, extra-coding, and ambiguous resolutions

Full textAbstract:
Berkeley holds that the perceived world is “a most coherent, entertaining and instructive discourse” which is ‘spoken’ by God. Berkeley intends this claim literally and holds that this discourse exhibits linguistic structure: it has a lexicography, a syntax, and a semantics. Interpreting Berkeley’s claims about the world as a divine discourse in light of Berkeley’s own philosophy of language produces compelling solutions to a number of difficulties in Berkeley’s metaphysics and epistemology. Most notably, this chapter argues that our body talk, in both plain language and physics, aims to capture the grammatical structure of the divine discourse. This grammar aims to assist us in interpretation and the interpretation of the discourse brings us into appropriate relationship with God and other minds. Understanding our role as interpreters and grammarians and God’s role as ‘speaker’ also provides a solution to pressing problems about divine and human roles in object construction.

Full textAbstract:
After belated awareness of racism, specifically anti-Semitism within European fascism, not only did postwar US immigration policies change but so too did Hollywood’s vampire films. This chapter probes Hollywood’s international financing of films in the United Kingdom, runaway productions in Europe and the Philippines, and Mexican and Philippine films that were re-edited and dubbed for US markets. Deterritorialized from Los Angeles, Hollywood produces categories of foreign movies alongside domestically shot studio and independent films, evident in Horror of Dracula (1958), Samson Versus the Vampire Women (1962/1963) and Horror of the Blood Monsters (1970). Other films within this analytic parody in imperial-inflected cosmopolitanism of foreign movies, notably The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, Your Teeth Are in My Neck (1967) and Blood for Dracula (1974). Since film circulation operates according to ethnic/racial and national hierarchies in immigration and naturalization law, postwar films unsettle assumptions.

Full textAbstract:
Nearly everything a state does has distributional consequences, including grand strategy. Societal groups with different stakes in the international economy and defense spending often have conflicting strategic priorities, and these groups pursue their parochial interests by supporting the nomination and election of like-minded politicians. Thus, grand strategy is a product of political economy. An overview of American foreign policy over the last several decades illustrates this logic. In the 1980s, the Democratic and Republican coalitions had conflicting interests over the international economy, so the two parties diverged on grand strategy. The recovery of the Rust Belt in the 1990s and 2000s, however, brought increasing convergence. Political discourse over foreign policy was fiercely partisan, but, with the notable exception of George W. Bush’s decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003, the two parties shared essentially the same view of America’s role in the world. The disastrous outcome in Iraq led the Bush administration back to the middle ground in its second term, and Obama followed the same course. In contrast, the election of Donald Trump augurs change. Trump’s electoral coalition consists of a different balance of interests in the international economy than that of past Republican presidents, so he is likely to pursue different strategic priorities.

Full textAbstract:
Historically, regional power shifts have tended to be messy affairs. Such changes often produced not only wars, but long, drawn-out forms of conflict that devastated the regions in which they occurred. With the exception of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, none of these power-shift conflicts have yet been truly global, and it is unlikely that the rivalry between the United States and China will spill over into a global confrontation any time soon. The chapter provides an overview of two of the key conflict areas within East Asia, notably Korea and Southeast Asia, mainly from a Chinese perspective, and it indicates how a better understanding of the international history of the region can help with measuring the framework for current rivalries. It also suggests key issues for consideration in terms of how the potential for great power conflict can be reduced.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter charts the shape and movement of the growth strategies of the developed democracies since 1945 across three periods: an era of modernization, one of liberalization, and an era of knowledge-based growth, with an emphasis on the relationship between developments in the political economy and changes in the character of electoral politics. It argues that economic policy-making always entails assembling coalitions for policy in both the arenas of electoral politics and of producer group politics. Accordingly, economic policy responds, not only to secular economic developments, but also to shifting political conditions and notably to changes in the cleavage structures underpinning electoral politics, which are themselves influenced by preceding economic developments. Growth strategies are conditioned by how an evolving “economic gestalt” portrays the problems of the economy and by processes of coalition formation in the electoral arena. The chapter devotes special attention to the growth strategies of the UK, France, Germany, and Sweden

En 2016, los ingresos decrecieron en un 6,9 % y la llegada de turistas en un 8,1 % representando el 1,4% del PIB, como resultado de los cambios generados en la economía nacional y los eventos telúricos que provocaron incertidumbres a nivel de este sector en el país. Ecuador, un destino turistico sostenible El Banco Central del Ecuador (2017) reconoció que la economía ecuatoriana mostró una notable recuperación en 2017, cuando se logró en el turismo un crecimiento con respecto al año anterior del 14 %, lo que representa el 13 % de los ingresos y la llegada de turistas respectivamente, simbolizado el turismo el 16 % del PIB. El indicador ingresos por turistas también mostró un comportamiento favorable. La situación para 2018 mejoró en los siguientes indicadores: ingresos (12,91%), entrada de turismo (51,57%); lo cual representa en el PIB un 1,7%. Sin embargo, se afectó el indicador ingresos por turistas en ese año pues el crecimiento del número de visitantes fue superior al de los ingresos (OMT, 2015, 2016, 2017 y 2018).
