Scholars from various disciplines have used key concepts to grasp mobilities, but as of yet, a working vocabulary of these has not been fully developed. Given this context and inspired in part by Raymond Williams’ Keywords (1976), this edited volume presents contributions that critically analyze mobility-related keywords: capital, cosmopolitanism, freedom, gender, immobility, infrastructure, motility, and regime. Each chapter provides an historical context, a critical analysis of how the keyword has been used in relation to mobility, and a conclusion that proposes future usage or research.

It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology’s grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.

Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series
From the patricians of the early republic to post-Reconstruction racial scientists, from fin de si?cle progressivist social reformers to post-war sociologists, character, that curiously formable yet equally formidable “stuff,” has had a long and checkered history giving shape to the American national identity. Bodies of Reform reconceives this pivotal category of nineteenth-century literature and culture by charting the development of the concept of “character” in the fictional genres, social reform movements, and political cultures of the United States from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth century. By reading novelists such as Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman alongside a diverse collection of texts concerned with the mission of building character, including child-rearing guides, muscle-building magazines, libel and naturalization law, Scout handbooks, and success manuals, James B. Salazar uncovers how the cultural practices of representing character operated in tandem with the character-building strategies of social reformers. His innovative reading of this archive offers a radical revision of this defining category in U.S. literature and culture, arguing that character was the keystone of a cultural politics of embodiment, a politics that played a critical role in determining-and contesting-the social mobility, political authority, and cultural meaning of the raced and gendered body.
Автор: Salazar J. Alonso Название: Pablo Escobar: El Patron del Mal ISBN: 1614359474 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781614359470 Издательство: Random House (USA) Цена: 9800.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: De Pablo Escobar, el famoso narcotraficante colombiano, hemos o do hablar miles de veces por su infinita capacidad para ejercer el mal, que llev a organismos como la DEA a calificarlo como uno de los m s grandes criminales de la historia. Sin embargo, poco se habla de sus or genes familiares y sociales, de sus dimensiones humanas y de la manera como su personalidad fue evolucionando hasta llegar al desbordamiento. Alonso Salazar J. se sumergi en archivos y busc testimonios in ditos de familiares y vecinos, de amigos y enemigos, para entrelazar en un intenso relato, sin manique smo, versiones diversas y contradictorias que al final construyen un retrato m s completo del personaje. As , a lo largo de esta historia, Escobar aparece a veces como un guerrero que despert la admiraci n de sectores excluidos que lo consideraron un h roe, y otras, como un villano que hizo de la muerte un negocio, y luego la ampli , con el terror indiscriminado, para someter al Estado y a la sociedad. Aqu se presentan dimensiones ntimas, cuadros complejos y humanos, de un hombre que buscaba desesperadamente identidad y reconocimiento, y que am a su esposa y a sus hijos hasta perder la vida por ellos. Tambi n encontramos una radiograf a donde Escobar deja de ser un personaje brotado de la nada para convertirse en producto, por un lado, de una sociedad, como la colombiana, plagada de conflictos hist ricos y, por otro, del gran negocio del final del siglo XX: el tr fico de coca na. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Today, the name Pablo Escobar is synonymous to violence. We have all heard thousands of stories of the infamous Colombian drug lord's multi-million dollar enterprise and his infinite capacity for brutality. Very little is known, however, of his origins and human dimension, and of the manner in which his personality gradually spiraled out of control. Antonio Salazar J. dug into archives and searched for previously unrevealed testimonies from relatives, neighbors, friends and enemies, to weave a riveting tale free of interpretations or contradicting versions to provide readers with a more complete portrait of the man behind the figure labeled by the DEA as one of the greatest criminals in history.
