As inherently spatial beings, our sense of space in cyberspace challenges all that is familiar in terms of our ability to define, organize, govern, and map social places In The Political Mapping of Cyberspace, Jeremy Crampton shows that cyberspace is not the virtual reality we think it to be, but instead a rich geography of political practices and озъ power relations Using concepts and methods derived from the work of Michel Foucault, Crampton outlines a new mapping of cyberspace to help define the role of space in virtual worlds and to provide constructive ways in which humans can exist in another spatial dimension He delineates the critical role maps play in constructing the medium as an object of knowledge and demonstrates that by processes of mapping we come to understand cyberspace Maps, he argues, shape political thinking about cyberspace, and he deploys in-depth case studies of crime mapping, security maintenance, and geo-surveillance to show how we map ourselves onto cyberspace, inexorably, and indelibly Offering a powerful reinterpretation of technology and contemporary life, this innovative book will be an essential touchstone for the study of cartography and cyberspace in the twenty-first century.  2004 г Мягкая обложка, 214 стр ISBN 0226117464.

In the 1960s, rock and pop music recording questioned the convention that recordings should recreate the illusion of a concert hall setting The Wall of Sound that Phil Spector built behind various artists and the intricate eclecticism of George Martin's recordings of the Beatles did not resemble live performances -- in the Albert Hall or elsewhere озъыо -- but instead created a new sonic world The role of the record producer, writes Virgil Moorefield in The Producer as Composer, was evolving from that of organizer to auteur; band members became actors in what Frank Zappa called a "movie for your ears " In rock and pop, in the absence of a notated score, the recorded version of a song -- created by the producer in collaboration with the musicians -- became the definitive version Moorefield, a musician and producer himself, traces this evolution with detailed discussions of works by producers and producer-musicians including Spector and Martin, Brian Eno, Bill Laswell, Trent Reznor, Quincy Jones, and the Chemical Brothers Underlying the transformation, Moorefield writes, is technological development: new techniques -- tape editing, overdubbing, compression -- and, in the last ten years, inexpensive digital recording equipment that allows artists to become their own producers What began when rock and pop producers reinvented themselves in the 1960s has continued; Moorefield describes the importance of disco, hip-hop, remixing, and other forms of electronic music production in shaping the sound of contemporary pop He discusses the making of Pet Sounds and the production of tracks by Public Enemy with equal discernment, drawing on his own years of studio experience Much has been written about rock and pop in the last 35 years, but hardly any of it deals with what is actually heard in a given pop song The Producer as Composer tries to unravel the mystery of good pop: why does it sound the way it does?.  2005 г Твердый переплет, 143 стр ISBN 0262134578.

Since the early 1980s, universities in the United States have greatly expanded their patenting and licensing activities The Congressional Joint Economic Committee, among other authorities, argued that the increase in university patenting and licensing contributed to the economic boom of the 1990s Many observers have attributed this trend озъчт to the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, which facilitated patenting and licensing by universities This book examines the conventional wisdom by adopting a more holistic pointof view, examining the diverse channels within which commercialization has occurred throughout the 20th century and since the passage of the Act Using quantitative analysis and detailed case studies to assess the effects of the Act, it concludes that universities must maintain their historic commitment to the free flow of knowledge to serve the global public interest and sustain their remarkable scientific and technological achievements of the past century Авторы (показать всех авторов) Ричард Р Нельсон Richard R Nelson Бэвен Н Сампат Bhaven N Sampat Эрвидс Э Зейдонис Arvids A Ziedonis.  Издательство: Stanford University Press, 2004 г Твердый переплет, 304 стр ISBN 0804749205.

Book DescriptionDespite significant gains in promoting economic growth and living conditions (or "human progress") globally over the last twenty-five years, much of the developing world remains plagued by poverty and its attendant problems, including high rates of child mortality, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and озъчщ war In Growth and Empowerment, Nicholas Stern, Jean-Jacques Dethier, and F Halsey Rogers propose a new strategy for development Drawing on many years of work in development economics -- in academia, in the field, and at international institutions such as the World Bank -- the authors base their strategy on two interrelated approaches: building a climate that encourages investment and growth and at the same time empowering poor people to participate in that growth This plan differs from other models for development, including the dogmatic approach of market fundamentalism popular in the 1980s and 1990s Stern, Dethier, and Rogers see economic development as a dynamic process of continuous change in which entrepreneurship, innovation, flexibility, and mobility are crucial components and the idea of empowerment, as both a goal and a driver of development, is central The book points to the unique opportunity today -- after 50 years of successes and failures, and with a growing body of analytical work to draw on -- to pursue new development strategies in both research and action.  2005 г ISBN 0262195178.

This is a catalogue of the pre-Gothic Revival stained glass found at 57 sites in Lancashire Many of these are churches, but there are also domestic halls, museums, and schools Highlights include important glazing dating from the 14th and 15th centuries at Cartmel Priory; a major window of c 1500 depicting the legend of St Helen at Ashton-under-Lyne; озъшщ a sixteenth-century Seven Sacraments window at Cartmel Fell; fine imported 15th- and 16th-century continental panels at Chorley; and above all the magnificent but hitherto virtually unknown collection belonging to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool The introduction discusses many aspects of the stained glass of both Lancashire and the neighboring county of Cheshire: documentary sources, donors and heraldry, condition, iconography, as well as examining the style and techniques used by the glass-painters The county's indigenous surviving glass mostly dates from the 16th century and while it is predominantly heraldic, several sites demonstrate the region's strong attachment to traditional Catholicism at the time of the English Reformation This catalogue will therefore be essential not only for scholars and students of the history of medieval and early modern art, but also those with an interest in the social and religious history of Tudor Lancashire.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 652 стр ISBN 0197264484.

In the first book to provide a feminist analysis of early modern madness, Carol Thomas Neely reveals the mobility and heterogeneity of discourses of "distraction," the most common term for the condition in late-sixteenth- and early-seventeenth-century England Distracted Subjects shows how changing ideas of madness that circulated озъщд through medical, dramatic, and political texts transformed and gendered subjectivities Supernatural causation is denied, new diagnoses appear, and stage representations proliferate Drama sometimes leads and sometimes follows other cultural discourses--or forges its own prophetic figures of distraction The Spanish Tragedy first links madness to masculine tragic self-representation, and Hamlet invents a language to dramatize feminine somatic illness Innovative womens melancholy is theorized in medical and witchcraft treatises and then elaborated in the extended portrait of the Jailer's Daughters distraction in The Two Noble Kinsmen Lovesickness, newly diagnosed in women, demands novel cures, and allows expressions of transgressive sexual desire in treatises and in plays such as As You Like It The rituals of possession and exorcism, intensely debated off stage, are mocked and exploited on stage in reiterated comic scenes of confinement that madden men to enhance women's power Neelys final chapter provides a startling challenge to the critically alluring analogy between Bedlam and the early modern stage by documenting that Bethlem hospital offered care, not spectacle, whereas stage Bedlamites served metatheatrical and prophylactic, not mimetic, ends An epilogue places this particular historical moment within the longer history of madness and shows how our own attitudes toward distraction are haunted by those earlier debates and representations.  ISBN 0801489245.

There was no single 'Elizabethan stage' Early modern actors exploited various opportunities for patronage and profit between the 1570s and 1642, whether touring, or performing at inns, in country houses, in purpose-built theatres, at court, at the universities or at the inns of court This authoritative and comprehensive collection of new essays озъщн explores the social, political, and economic pressures under which the playing companies of Shakespeare and his contemporaries operated It shows how they evolved over time to meet new challenges such as the opposition of City of London authorities, the possibility of permanent location in London, the re-emergence of boy companies c 1600, and the great increase in court performance which began under James I Essays also explore the practical everyday business of playing: acquiring scripts and playhouses, dramatic authorship, the contribution of financiers and entrepreneurs, rehearsing, lighting, music, props, styles of acting, boy actors, and the role of women in an 'all-male' world A number of contributors address the methodologies of theatre history itself, questioning its philosophical premises and evaluating the nature of the evidence we have, such as that from stage directions in play-books or from the visual records The collection as a whole offers a challenging account of the world of the players in Tudor-Stuart England, revising old assumptions and so inviting us to explore anew the plays which were written for them and which are their greatest living legacy.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 624 стр ISBN 0199287244.

This new book examines the social protests of popular groups in urban Mexico during and after the Mexican Revolution and also shows how the revolution inspired women to become activists in these movements Andrew Grant Woods well-researched narrative focuses specifically on the complex negotiation between elites and popular groups over the озя issue of public housing in post-revolutionary Veracruz, Mexico Wood then compares the Veracruz experience with other tenant movements throughout Mexico and Latin America He analyzes what the popular groups wanted, what they got, how they got it, and how the changes wrought by the revolution facilitated their actions Grassroots organizing by house-renters in Veracruz began at a time of multiple sovereignty when ruling elites found themselves in a process of regime change and political realignment As the movement took shape, tenants expanded their opportunities through a dynamic repertoire of public demonstration, direct action, networking, and constant negotiation with landlords and public officials During the height of the movement, protesters forced revolutionary elites to respond by requiring them either to negotiate, co-opt, and/or repress members of independent grassroots organizations in order to maintain their rule The tenant movements demonstrate how ordinary women and men contributed to the remaking of state and civil society relations in post-revolutionary Mexico Revolution in the Street analyzes the critical roles that women played as leaders and as rank-and-file agitators to keep the movements alive The author has used a wide variety of primary sources to provide a vibrant portrayal of these urban social protesters On a larger scale, this book shows that the voices of the urban poor were able to become part of the revolutionary dialogue and ideology While others have highlighted the role of rural folk such as the Zapatistas, this work allows readers to appreciate the urban side of the popular movement Revolution in the Street is a valuable resource on the Mexican Revolution, modern Mexico, and urban history of Latin America.  ISBN 084202879X.

Ideological and cultural factors do not define or influence the way labor relations are conducted in China's workplace, as many suppose they do Oakley shows that the impact of the global market has significantly altered the way labor relations are actually practiced in China, which follows what she calls a global market paradigm Nevertheless, озъыд Maoism and Confucianism continue to influence labor relations in China, and the ideological and cultural remnants still to be found could affect China's relationswith other nations for years to come Instead of taking a macro-level, industrial-relations approach common to other studies of Chinese labor, Oakley provides an in-depth look at the problems emerging on the shop floor, in the wake of economic reform She provides translations of actual case histories, each of which details the causes of disputes, the various methods that were found to resolve them, and their eventual outcomes At a broader level of analysis, her book tends to support convergence theories, of which globalization is the latest, proving that there are other features in contemporary market-labor relations that have emerged in China in direct response to the demands of global competition The result is a superbly detailed examination of a topic too little covered and seldom well understood.  ISBN 1567205895.

Having come of age during a period of vibrant union-centered activism, Jack Metzgar begins this book wondering how his father, a U S Steel shop steward in the 1950s and '60s, and so many contemporary historians could forget what this country owes to theunion movement Combining personal memoir and historical narrative, Striking Steel argues for озъын reassessment of unionism in American life during the second half of the twentieth century and a recasting of "official memory " As he traces the history ofunion steelworkers after World War II, Metzgar draws on his father's powerful stories about the punishing work in the mills, stories in which time is divided between "before the union" and since His father, Johnny Metzgar, fought ardently for workplace rules as a means of giving "the men" some control over their working conditions and protection from venal foremen He pursued grievances until he eroded management's authority, and he badgered foremen until he established shop-floor practices that would become part of the next negotiated contract As a passionate advocate of solidarity, he urged coworkers to stick together so that the rules were upheld and everyone could earn a decent wage Striking Steel's pivotal event is the four-month nationwide steel strike of 1959, a landmark union victory that has been all but erased from public memory With remarkable tenacity, union members held out for the shop-floor rules that gave them dignity in the workplace and raised their standard of living Their victory underscored the value of sticking together and reinforced their sense that they were contributing to a general improvement in American working and living conditions The Metzgar family's story vividly illustrates the larger narrative of how unionism lifted the fortunes and prospects of working-class families It also offers an account of how the broad social changes of the period helped to shift the balance of power in a conflict-ridden, patriarchal household Even if the optimism of his generation faded in the upheavals of the 1960s, Johnny Metzgar's commitment to his union and the strike itself stands as an honorable example of what collective action can and did achieve Jack Metzgar's Striking Steel is a stirring call to rememberand renew the struggle.  ISBN 1566397383.
