Alternative Temporalities The Emancipatory Power of Narrative

Alternative Temporalities: The Emancipatory Power of Narrative
by Teresa Valentini, Angela Wesier
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1487551916 | 260 Pages | PDF | 2.81 MB

Alternative temporalities have often emerged as a reaction to the normativizing force of time, demonstrating that time can be used as an instrument of power and oppression, but also as a means to resist this very oppression. Alternative Temporalities draws on analyses of modern literature to examine this often-neglected role of time. By exploring forms of temporal resistance in artistic representation, such as short stories and novels, that challenge the imposition of colonial, gender, or capitalist temporal orders, the book reveals how storytelling can be an essential tool in questioning and pushing back against coercive temporal structures.
The book analyses literary representations of time that challenge dominant temporalities and intersect different disciplines such as gender and sexuality studies, trauma and Indigenous studies, race and identity, and religion. It features narrative analyses proposing alternative embodied experiences of time, focusing on topics including the temporality of the AIDS-affected body, the experience of time in prison, and slowness in opposition to modern acceleration. Ultimately, Alternative Temporalities aims to create new theories as well as practices that may foster more diverse and inclusive ways of perceiving and embodying time.

An Assessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Physics Laboratory: Fiscal Year 2008 By National Research Council; Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences; Laboratory Assessments Board; Panel on Physics
2008 | 66 Pages | ISBN: 0309127378 | EPUB | 1 MB
The mission of the NIST Physics Laboratory is to support U.S. industry, government, and the scientific community by providing measurement services and research for electronic, optical, and radiation technology. In this respect, the laboratory provides the foundation for the metrology of optical and ionizing radiations, time and frequency, and fundamental quantum processes, historically major areas of standards and technology. The Panel on Physics visited the six divisions of the laboratory and reviewed a selected sample of their programs and projects. This book finds that the overall quality and productivity of the Physics Laboratory are comparable to or better than those of other peer institutions, an accomplishment that is being achieved with an infrastructure that is smaller in both size and funding than the size and funding of most national and agency laboratories in the United States.

An Introduction to the Desert Fathers

An Introduction to the Desert Fathers By Jason Byassee
2007 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 1597525308 | EPUB | 1 MB
The desert fathers wanted to get away from a church co-opted by empire and a Christian faith grown cold and listless. They retreated to the desert to do battle against demons and against their own worst desires. They had no intention of being famous; yet ironically their Sayings have inspired millions of imitators over the centuries. This guide is meant to accompany a reading of the Sayings of the Desert Fathers, in hopes that readers with lives quite different than those third- and fourth-century dwellers of the Egyptian desert might nevertheless come to imitate their lives of poverty, chastity, and obedience; and more importantly, that readers might grow more imaginative and passionate in their following of the same Lord.

An Uncounselled King Charles I and the Scottish Troubles, 1637-1641

Peter Donald, "An Uncounselled King: Charles I and the Scottish Troubles, 1637-1641"
English | 2004 | pages: 368 | ISBN: 052152007X | DJVU | 2,5 mb
The concept of kingship as Charles I understood it was challenged by the Covenanters in a struggle of protest over the government of Scotland. Although many aspects of this episode have received historical attention, Charles's own role has not hitherto been investigated in detail. Using a large body of newly available evidence, Dr Donald here attempts to redress the balance, and in doing so offers a substantially new perspective on the Scottish troubles in the crisis years of 1637-41. This study sheds light on the processes whereby Charles, with counsel and yet often in spite of it, tried to uphold his case.

Anatoliy Golitsyn The Life and Legacy of the KGB Defector Who Became a CIA Asset

Anatoliy Golitsyn: The Life and Legacy of the KGB Defector Who Became a CIA Asset by Charles River Editors
English | September 5, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DG9FM6F1 | 102 pages | EPUB | 1.08 Mb
"The Cold War may be 'over' for the West. For the Soviets it has entered a new, active and promising phase." - Anatoliy Golitsyn

The KGB is one of the most famous abbreviations of the 20th century, and it has become synonymous with the shadowy and often violent actions of the Soviet Union's secret police and internal security agencies. In fact, it is often used to refer to the Soviet state security agencies throughout its history, from the inception of the inception of the Cheka (Extraordinary Commission) in 1917 to the official elimination of the KGB in 1992. Whether it's associated with the Russian Civil War's excesses, Stalin's purges, and even Vladimir Putin, the KGB has long been viewed as the West's biggest bogeyman during the second half of the 20th century.
Many people remain fascinated by stories about the Cold War, particularly the espionage that was covertly conducted across the globe by both sides. Indeed, from the beginning of the Cold War, there were hundreds if not thousands of spies positioned in each side's governments. Some worked as double agents, while others worked to plant pivotal pieces of information or disinformation to persuade government officials within these warring countries.
Inevitably, some of the Cold War's most shadowy actions involved trying to turn Soviet assets, whether for propaganda or intelligence purposes, but the Soviet system constantly had to worry about defections, as evidenced by the construction of the Berlin Wall in the early 1960s. That said, while the whistleblowers may be celebrated if they damage the public relations of an adversary, they can be controversial if they damage one's own country, as evidenced by the polarizing reputations of individuals like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.
During Congressional testimony concerning President Kennedy's assassination many years after Anatoliy Golitsyn's defection, James Jesus Angleton claimed he was "probably without any question the most major defection since World War II as far as Soviet intentions, Soviet organization, and Soviet operations are concerned." He would later become a voice for the Soviets' disinformation strategy through his studies and his work as a KGB agent and with the CIA's Counterintelligence Unit. Golitsyn became disenchanted with Moscow and the Soviet way of life after having spent his life protecting it.
Thanks to his schooling and training, Golitsyn had deep inside knowledge of the USSR's (communist) strategy to rule the world. Angleton, the chief of the CIA's Counterintelligence Unit, was a huge supporter and believer of Golitsyn's ideas and theories. At first, Angleton readily admitted that Golitsyn may or may not have been a bona fide defector, but over time, the information relayed by Golitsyn to Angleton matched what Angleton perceived about the USSR, disinformation, defectors, and communism throughout the world.
Unfortunately for all concerned, their actions throttled their efforts. Many observers think Golitsyn was a decisive defector who wreaked havoc on Western intelligence agencies through his idea of implanting spies within the Western world's intelligence agencies. The goal of this was to use disinformation to lead the agencies to false conclusions about what was really happening. Angleton bought into this idea, and the two went on to engage in what became the Great Mole Hunt.
20 years after his defection, Golitsyn outlined his theories on Soviet strategy in his first book, New Lies for Old: The Communist Strategy for Deception and Disinformation. A decade after that, he published The Perestroika Deception: Memoranda to the Central Intelligence Agency - The World's Slide Towards the "Second October Revolution", which was a compilation of the memoranda he supplied to the CIA, explaining the current trends of communist strategies and threats in the world.

Antigone's Ghosts The Long Legacy of War and Genocide in Five Countries

Mark A. Wolfgram, "Antigone's Ghosts: The Long Legacy of War and Genocide in Five Countries"
English | ISBN: 168448006X | 2018 | 304 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Sophocles' play Antigone is a starting point for understanding the perpetual problems of human societies, families, and individuals who are caught up in the terrible aftermath of mass violence. What is one to do after the killing has stopped? What can be done to prevent a round of new violence? The tragic and dramatic tension in the play is put in motion by setting an unyielding Antigone against King Creon. As we see through the investigation of how Germany, Japan, Spain, Yugoslavia and Turkey have dealt with their histories of mass violence and genocide in the 20th century, the forces represented by Antigone and Creon remain very much part of our world today. Through a comparison of the five countries, their political institutions, and cultural traditions, we begin to appreciate the different pathways that societies have taken when confronting their violent histories.

Approaches to Walter Benjamin's - The Arcades Project

Approaches to Walter Benjamin's - The Arcades Project By Pawel Stachura; Piotr Śniedziewski; Krzysztof Trybuś
2018 | 180 Pages | ISBN: 3631736371 | EPUB | 1 MB
Walter Benjamin is one of the most important figures of modern culture. The authors focus within this book on Benjamin as a philosopher, or rather as a critic of modernism entangled in tradition (mainly Jewish), but also as a writer. Philosophical and philological readings are accompanied by essays presenting the complex biography of Benjamin and numerous, often unexpected, parallels which indicate traces of his reflections in works of other artists. In consequence, The Arcades Project, which can be described as Benjamin's opus vitae, is not only a picturesque history of Parisian arcades of the mid-19th century. It is also a polyphonic text, composed of quotations, commentaries and footnotes, a discussion of the sense of history and the literary work of art that surprises with its meandering quality.

Architecture in Context Helin & Co

Peter Davey, "Architecture in Context: Helin & Co"
English | ISBN: 3034606044 | 2011 | 224 pages | PDF | 83 MB
Der finnische Architekt Pekka Helin gründete bereits 1979 in Helsinki sein erstes Büro. In seiner Entwurfshaltung knüpft das Büro in einer spezifisch skandinavischen Ausdrucksform sowohl an den Funktionalismus, als auch an die organische Architektur eines Aalvar Alto, Viljo Revell, Heikki Sirèn oder auch eines Arne Erve an. Das Material Holz spielt in dieser sehr klaren Architektur eine vordergründige Rolle. Das Büro kreiert Bauten im Bereich Wohnen - häufig direkt am Wasser gelegen, wo die Einbindung in die Natur in den Sichtachsen eine große Rolle spielt - , aber auch Bürobauten, wie etwa den Nokia Hauptsitz oder auch das Finnish Modular Office, der höchste Bürobau aus Holz innerhalb Europas. Auch öffentliche Bauten, wie etwa die finnische Botschaft in Moskau oder der Konzertsaal und die Bibliothek in Espoo, gehören zu den Realisierungen des Büros, wie auch gar städtebauliche, so etwa der Masterplan für die Umgestaltung des ehemaligen Areals des Flughafens von Oslo.

Army An Illustrated History of the U.S. Army from 1775 to the 21st Century

Chester G. Hearn - Army: An Illustrated History of the U.S. Army from 1775 to the 21st Century
Zenith Press | 2006 | ISBN: 0760326800 | English | 200 pages | PDF | 145.97 MB
From its Revolutionary War beginnings as the Continental Army to its leadership of the ?Coalition of the Willing” in today’s Iraq, for more than 200 years the United States Army has fulfilled its solemn charge: to provide for the common defense, at home and abroad. To a significant degree the U.S. Army’s story is the story of the United States, as becomes clear in this absorbing, illustrated history of the U. S. Army from its beginnings in a rag-tag force of colonial militia to its current incarnation as the world’s most powerful and sophisticated land-combat force. With an emphasis on post-Vietnam operations and detailed information on the technological component of the force’s military might, distinguished historian Chester Hearn follows the U. S. Army through its combat history?the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, various Indian wars, the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, the first Gulf war, and Afghanistan and Iraq?offering a complete and thoroughly fascinating account of an armed force ever remaking itself to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.

Asian Political Cartoons

Asian Political Cartoons
by John A. Lent
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1496842529 | 317 Pages | PDF | 190 MB

2023 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title
2024 Eisner Award Nominee for Best Academic/Scholarly Work
In Asian Political Cartoons, scholar John A. Lent explores the history and contemporary status of political cartooning in Asia, including East Asia (China, Hong Kong, Japan, North and South Korea, Mongolia, and Taiwan), Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam), and South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka).
Incorporating hundreds of interviews, as well as textual analysis of cartoons; observation of workplaces, companies, and cartoonists at work; and historical research, Lent offers not only the first such survey in English, but the most complete and detailed in any language. Richly illustrated, this volume brings much-needed attention to the political cartoons of a region that has accelerated faster and more expansively economically, culturally, and in other ways than perhaps any other part of the world.
Emphasizing the "freedom to cartoon," the author examines political cartoons that attempt to expose, bring attention to, blame or condemn, satirically mock, and caricaturize problems and their perpetrators. Lent presents readers a pioneering survey of such political cartooning in twenty-two countries and territories, studying aspects of professionalism, cartoonists' work environments, philosophies and influences, the state of newspaper and magazine industries, the state's roles in political cartooning, modern technology, and other issues facing political cartoonists.
Asian Political Cartoons encompasses topics such as political and social satire in Asia during ancient times, humor/cartoon magazines established by Western colonists, and propaganda cartoons employed in independence campaigns. The volume also explores stumbling blocks contemporary cartoonists must hurdle, including new or beefed-up restrictions and regulations, a dwindling number of publishing venues, protected vested interests of conglomerate-owned media, and political correctness gone awry. In these pages, cartoonists recount intriguing ways they cope with restrictions―through layered hidden messages, by using other platforms, and finding unique means to use cartooning to make a living.

Assessing the Impact of Severe Economic Recession on the Elderly: Summary of a Workshop By National Research Council; Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education; Committee on Population; Steering Committee on the Challenges of Assessing the Impact of Severe Economic Recession on the Elderly; Malay Majmundar
2011 | 52 Pages | ISBN: 0309209692 | EPUB | 1 MB
The economic crisis that began in 2008 has had a significant impact on the well-being of certain segments of the population and its disruptive effects can be expected to last well into the future. The National Institute on Aging (NIA), which is concerned with this issue as it affects the older population in the United States, asked the National Research Council to review existing and ongoing research and to delineate the nature and dimensions of potential scientific inquiry in this area. The Committee on Population thus established the Steering Committee on the Challenges of Assessing the Impact of Severe Economic Recession the Elderly to convene a meeting of experts to discuss these issues. The primary purpose of the workshop was to help NIA gain insight into the kinds of questions that it should be asking, the research that it should be supporting, and the data that it should be collecting. Attendees included invited experts in the fields of economics, sociology, and epidemiology; staff from NIA and the Social Security Administration (SSA); and staff from the National Academies.

Behavioral Integrative Care Treatments That Work in the Primary Care Setting

William T. O'Donohue, "Behavioral Integrative Care: Treatments That Work in the Primary Care Setting"
English | ISBN: 0415949467 | 2005 | 410 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Integrated care is arguably one of the most important developments in the delivery of health care over the last few years. This new approach to health care, roughly defined as the provision of behavioral or mental health care in a way that is more coordinated with the primary medical healthcare setting, has the focused goal of providing a more complete care for the patient. This book focuses on three main content areas. Firstly, the treatment of psychological problems in the context of primary medical care will be addressed in several chapters. Secondly, several chapters address co-morbid psychological factors that play a key role in the effective medical management of physical diseases, either acute or chronic. Finally, several chapters address issues relevant to the overall practice of integrated care. This book is intended to extend and bridge the existing literatures of integrated care, behavioral medicine, consultation-liaison psychiatry, medical cost offset, and healthcare economics, by providing a comprehensive and current handbook of the clinical protocols that might be applied to the practice of integrated care.

Behavioral Medicine A Social Worker's Guide

John S. Wodarski, "Behavioral Medicine: A Social Worker's Guide"
English | ISBN: 0789029162 | 2009 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Health care costs and the effective management of health care are of primary importance and concern to federal, state, and local governments. Consequently, it is necessary to develop innovative, successful, and integrated cost-effective treatments and procedures. Behavioral Medicine presents a new model to address these needs.

Behavioral Medicine discusses the composition of effective psychosocial treatment and presents a cost analysis of social work and its services. By defining the problems that need to be addressed in health care costs and management, applying research and using studies, this text presents an effective model for health care organizations. It also presents a profile of the Behavioral Social Worker, which defines the abilities needed to be effective in the role and looks at the key impact areas for a behavioral health model. This is a comprehensive guide for social workers preparing to work in health care organizations, and for existing social workers, academics, and practitioners of behavioral medicine in health settings.
