Описание: This book examines the role of experts and expertise in the dynamics of globalisation since the mid-nineteenth century. It shows how engineers, scientists and other experts have acted as globalising agents, providing many of the materials and institutional means for world economic and technical integration. Focusing on the study of international connections, Technology and Globalisation illustrates how expert practices have shaped the political economies of interacting countries, entire regions and the world economy. This title brings together a range of approaches and topics across different regions, transcending nationally-bounded historical narratives. Each chapter deals with a particular topic that places expert networks at the centre of the history of globalisation. The contributors concentrate on central themes including intellectual property rights, technology transfer, tropical science, energy production, large technological projects, technical standards and colonial infrastructures. Many also consider methodological, theoretical and conceptual issues.

The changing pattern of contemporary media is one of the most striking and important transformations of our age. This major new work seeks to understand the implications of a series of mediated processes in relation to public cultures and modern identities. In The Transformation of the Media the author leads the reader through a number of complex theoretical issues, connecting the nature of modern communication to the affects this has on our common moral and ethical lives. Most significantly, he argues that a number of perspectives as diverse as Marxism, post-modernism, liberalism, communitarianism and technological determinism can all be found wanting in this regard.
The Transformation of the Media attempts to situate the media, and more theoretical concerns, within a broad sociological framework. The volume adds to our shared understanding of the media's relation to contemporary cultural transformations including globalisation, the development of informational capitalism, the changing nature of the public sphere and the impact of new social movements. More specifically, through a discussion of the 'new media order' and the Rwandan genocide a critical prism is held up to existing debates concerning the globalisation of the media.
Key features:
an extremely topical and accessible analysis of the media's implications for
contemporary cultural transformations
combines a theoretical and empirical approach
presents complex theoretical ideas in an accessible way
This book will be essential reading for students studying globalisation, the global media, new media technology, identity and cultural development in cultural studies, media studies, and sociology and politics courses.

Автор: Kahina Amal Djiar Название: Housing, Culture, Colonialism and Globalisation in Algiers: Housing, Culture, Colonialism and Globalisation in Algiers ISBN: 0754675750 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780754675754 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 96970.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Under the increasing pressures of globalisation, the Algerian government is planning to turn Algiers and its hinterland into one of the most important metropolitan areas of the Mediterranean region by 2025. Part of this challenge is to overcome the housing crisis, which has characterised the city since the 1920s. This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of urban housing in Algiers from the Ottoman era through the period of French colonial rule up to the present. By exploring important topics such as power, discourse, representation, resistance, memory and everyday life, it aims to highlight the relationship between the built environment, culture, and broader political-economic contexts. The study of the impact of colonial projects on the formation of post-colonial cities and societies has been limited in scope. This volume uses a broader approach, which considers the examination of four main aspects: 1. How colonial power constructed and organised policies and strategies (the investigation of the ways that colonial administration articulated and represented its motives in discursive form is as important as the way that colonial power functioned in practice, since both had effects on the colonised subjects). 2. The impact of the use of the built environment as a colonial instrument in colonial societies. 3. The way that the colonised subjects responded to colonial power. 4. The post-independence practices, strategies of development and social changes.

This book offers a post-representational approach to a range of fiction and non-fiction films that deal with labour migration from Turkey to Germany. Engaging with materialist philosophies of process, it offers analyses of films by Thomas Arslan, Christian Petzold, Aysun Bademsoy, Seyhan Derin, Harun Farocki, Y?ksel Yavuz and Feo Aladag. Shifting the focus from the longstanding concerns of integration, identity and cultural conflict, Gozde Naiboglu shows that these films offer new expressions of lived experience under late capitalism through themes of work, social reproduction, unemployment and insecure work, exhaustion and precarity, thereby calling for a rethinking of the established ideas of class, community and identity.
