Picturing Pity PDF By:Marianne Gullestad† Published on 2007-11-30 by Berghahn Books Picturing Pity is the first full length monograph on missionary photography. Empirically, it is based on an in-depth analysis of the published photographs taken by Norwegian evangelical missionaries in Northern Cameroon from the early nineteen twenties, at the beginning of their activities in this region, and until today. Being part of a large international movement, Norway sent out more missionaries per capita than any other country in Europe. Marianne Gullestad's main contention is that the need to continuously justify their activities to donors in Europe has led to the creation and maintenance of specific ways of portraying Africans. The missionary visual rhetoric is both based on earlier visualizations and has over time established its own conventions which can now also be traced within secular fields of activity such as international development agencies, foreign policy, human relief organizati...

Dictionnaire critique de la mondialisation PDF By:Cynthia Ghorra-Gobin Published on 2012-08-22 by Armand Colin Globalisation du capitalisme, accélération et diffusion des échanges, uniformisation des modes de vie, internationalisation de la gouvernance, abolition des frontières grâce aux nouvelles technologies... la mondialisation est au cœur des mutations qui bouleversent la planète. Tantôt haïe, tantôt prônée, mal du siècle ou destin de l’humanité, la notion même semble être devenue dans la sphère publique l’unique clé de compréhension des enjeux du monde contemporain. Et pourtant, derrière ce terme, quelle(s) réalité(s) ? Revenir sur les mots, les concepts et les processus qui définissent la mondialisation dans toute sa complexité, son caractère multidimensionnel et sa perpétuelle évolution : telle est l’ambition de ce dictionnaire. Loin de toute vision doctrinale ou caricaturale, une soixantaine d’auteurs (géographes, sociologues, historiens, économistes, anthropologues, architecte...

In the Metro PDF By:Marc Augé Published on 2002 by U of Minnesota Press Tourists climb the Eiffel Tower to see Paris. Parisians know that to really see the city you must descend into the metro. In this revelatory book, Marc Auge takes readers below Paris in a work that is both an ethnography of the city and a personal narrative. Guiding us through history, memory, and physical space, Auge juxtaposes the romance of the metro with the reality of multiethnic urban France. His work is part autobiography, with impressions from a lifetime riding the trains; part meditation on self and memory reflected in the people and places underneath Paris; part analysis of a place where the third world and the first world meet, where remnants of cultures move and press together; and part a reflection on anthropology in an era of globalization and urban development. Although he is a pillar of French thought, In the Metro is Auge's first major critical and creative work translated into English. It show...

The Urban Revolution PDF By:Henri Lefebvre Published on 2003 by U of Minnesota Press Originally published in 1970, The Urban Revolution marked Henri Lefebvre’s first sustained critique of urban society, a work in which he pioneered the use of semiotic, structuralist, and poststructuralist methodologies in analyzing the development of the urban environment. Although it is widely considered a foundational book in contemporary thinking about the city, The Urban Revolution has never been translated into English—until now. This first English edition, deftly translated by Robert Bononno, makes available to a broad audience Lefebvre’s sophisticated insights into the urban dimensions of modern life.Lefebvre begins with the premise that the total urbanization of society is an inevitable process that demands of its critics new interpretive and perceptual approaches that recognize the urban as a complex field of inquiry. Dismissive of cold, modernist visions of the city, particularly those embodi...

Autant en emporte l'argent PDF By:Sebastien Gillet Published on 2011-03-04 by Celacant En 2007, les banques se targuaient de résultats hors du commun.
