Dancing with the Prince: Royal Secrets

The only thing Lindy wanted on her Mediterranean cruise was to enjoy the sights and get away from the memories of her ex. She brought her cousin along as a deterrent for all the men, but when he ends up sea sick and stays in the cabin, Lindy is left to her own devices. When a handsome stranger with a sexy Spanish accent runs into her one night, she's surprised he's not as overbearing as some of the other men she's met so far. He asks to see her the next day she actually agrees. Carlos is on the cruise for one purpose, to convince the spoiled son of a rich investor to bring his business to Carlos's home country of Aragonia. As the second son of the royal family, Carlos doesn't have much time to play around, and meeting the beautiful American tourist is just a fun diversion. Yet the more time he spends with her, the more he wants to push his princely duties aside and just enjoy the fascinating woman's company. After the news leaks out that Prince Carlos is seeing an American commoner, Lindy is shocked to learn that she's the subject of tabloid gossip around the world. Lindy knows Prince Carlos is too far out of her league and Carlos knows he should follow the rules of his title, but are either of them brave enough to see where things could lead if they just give it a chance?

Det har skrivits mycket om behovet av att reformera det svenska trygghetssystemet de senaste åren. Bakgrunden är bl.a. önskan att minska det som kommit att kallas utanförskap, dvs. att få arbetslösa och långtidssjukskrivna tillbaka på arbetsmarknaden. Syftet har också varit att långsiktigt öka antalet arbetade timmar i ekonomin för att därigenom ha bättre möjlighet att finansiera välfärden i framtiden. En aspekt som än så länge inte fått så mycket uppmärksamhet är deltidsförmånerna. Till skillnad från många andra länder kan man i Sverige få deltidsersättning från de flesta socialförsäkringar, a-kassa inräknad. Deltidsersättningar motiveras med att de stöttar arbetslinjen det är bättre att arbeta lite än att inte arbeta alls. Men de kan också leda till inlåsning om deltidsrelationen blir permanent. Resultatet kan med andra ord bli antingen fler eller färre timmar, beroende på vilken av effekterna som dominerar. Välfärd på deltid går igenom omfattningen av deltidsersättningar i de olika trygghetssystemen och presenterar vad forskningen vet om deltidsförmånernas påverkan på arbetsutbudet. Författarna diskuterar också kopplingar mellan frivilligt och ofrivilligt deltidsarbete. Kan det vara så att en stor efterfrågan på deltidstjänster, framför allt hos kvinnor med småbarn, bidrar till att delar av arbetsmarknaden anpassar sig till deltidsarbete, vilket i sin tur ger ofrivilligt deltidsarbete som följd? Boken avslutas med en uppmaning till politikerna att hitta en bättre balans mellan att uppmuntra till deltidsarbete i vissa livssituationer men inte i andra. Laura Hartman, fil.dr i nationalekonomi, är verksam vid Institutet för arbetsmarknadspolitisk utvärdering, IFAU, och extern forskningsledare på SNS. 7

How ritualized public ceremonies affirm or challenge cultural identities associated with the American South* A Choice Outstanding Academic Title"From the jazz funeral processions in the streets of New Orleans to the annual Natchez Pilgrimage in Mississippi and the Scottish Highland games atop Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina, the reader is exposed to a diverse southern culture, or heritage, that is often overlooked by many people, both within and outside the South. The reality of a southern culture based in Mexican heritage or a celebration of [a] Southeastern tribe's heritage through the powwow helps deconstruct the myth of a solid southern culture as one that is simply portrayed as black and white."--Florida Historical Quarterly"The ambition Celeste Ray sets out in her introduction is to show how these groups are not only in the South but of it, how they interpret their diverse identities as Southern--put another way, to answer a question that arises in one noteworthy piece, why do Indians in North Carolina eat barbecue pork and collard greens at their powwows?"--Journal of American Ethnic History"Thought-provoking and well-crafted, Southern Heritage on Display is an innovative and important resource for regional studies and scholarship on public display."--Journal of Folklore ResearchW. J. Cash's 1941 observation that "there are many Souths and many cultural traditions among them" is certainly validated by this book. Although the Civil War and its "lost cause" tradition continues to serve as a cultural root paradigm in celebrations, both uniting and dividing loyalties, southerners also embrace a panoply of public rituals--parades, cook-offs, kinship homecomings, church assemblies, music spectacles, and material culture exhibitions--that affirm other identities. From the Appalachian uplands to the Mississippi Delta, from Kentucky bluegrass to Carolina piedmont, southerners celebrate in festivals that showcase their diverse cultural backgrounds and their mythic beliefs about themselves.The ten essays of this cohesive, interdisciplinary collection present event-centered research from various fields of study--anthropology, geography, history, and literature--to establish a rich, complex picture of the stereotypically "Solid South." Topics include the Mardi Gras Indian song cycle as a means of expressing African-American identity in New Orleans; powwow performances and Native American traditions in southeast North Carolina; religious healings in southern Appalachian communities; Mexican Independence Day festivals in central Florida; and, in eastern Tennessee, bonding ceremonies of melungeons who share Indian, Scots Irish, Mediterranean, and African ancestry. Seen together, these public heritage displays reveal a rich "creole" of cultures that have always been a part of southern life and that continue to affirm a flourishing regionalism.This book will be valuable to students and scholars of cultural anthropology, American studies, and southern history; academic and public libraries; and general readers interested in the American South. It contributes a vibrant, colorful layer of understanding to the continuously emerging picture of complexity in this region historically depicted by simple stereotypes.

Regional History as Cultural Identity

Regional History as Cultural Identity

Viella

This book brings together scholars to reflect upon the significance and meaning of local and regional history, focusing on how these histories impact people's cultural identity through traditions, culture, language, and politics. Scholars from all over the world analyze the process of communal identity construction - the feeling of belonging to one state or nation regardless of one's legal citizenship status - by focusing on case studies from North America, South America, Africa, and Europe. By analyzing the cultural and social aspects of community formation through language, religion, symbols, politics, race, and blood ties, these papers reveal that national identity, rather than being an inborn trait, is more often a result of the presence of common elements in the daily lives of individuals.

The influential authors significantly update their popular introductory text that invites students to reflect on their lives in the context of the combustible leap from modern to postmodern life. The authors show how culture is central to understanding many world problems as they challenge readers to confront the problems and possibilities of an era in which the futures of the physical and social environments seem uncertain. As culture rapidly changes in the 21st century, the authors have successfully incorporated these nuances with many important updates on race and racism, Black Lives Matter, the rise of populist politics, ISIS, new social media, feminist perspectives on sex work, trans and non-gender conforming identities, and more.New to this edition:New data, text box examples, photos, exercises, study questions, and glossary terms appear throughout.New discussions added of arts-based and participatory approaches to research, historical changes in the perception of deviance, legalization of marijuana; Islam vs. secularism in France, new forms of socialization, heteronormative and essentialist language related to sex and gender, intersections of social class and other identities, the prison industrial complex, informal sharing economies, atheism, and more.New text boxes include: Young Saudis Find Freedom in their PhonesHow One Stupid Tweet Blew Up Justine Sacco’s LifeSchool-to-Prison PipelineIndia’s Reproductive Assembly LineWorkers Feel Pain of LayoffsLike Prohibition, the fight over guns is about something elseMicro-aggression and Changing Moral CulturesPraise for A Contemporary Introduction to Sociology"Treats sociology as a living, vibrant discipline. The book is a masterful synthesis written in a style that is at once sophisticated, engaging, and accessible."—Peter Kivisto, Augustana College "Alexander and Thompson have produced the modern textbook we have all been waiting for—comprehensive and coherent, but above all intelligent. Designed to make teaching sociology unproblematic, the book is the ideal combination of theory, evidence, and accessibility."—Bryan S. Turner, editor of The Cambridge Dictionary of Sociology"Sets new standards in speaking directly to students of the most significant recent developments in sociology and social changes they are living. It shows how inspiring the sociological imagination can be in areas like media, sexuality, gender relations, inequality, and globalization.—Lyn Spillman, University of Notre Dame"A truly contemporary sociology, one that mines the classics of sociology for insights into a profoundly changed, postmodern world. Most important, the book reminds us of sociology’s capacity to surprise."—Francesca Polletta, University of California–Irvine"An extraordinary textbook that synthesizes a wealth of sociological studies.

Gabriel Dumont's Wild West Show is a flamboyant epic, constructed as a series of tableaux, about the struggles of the M tis in the Canadian West. It is a multilayered and entertaining saga with a rodeo vibe, loosely based on Buffalo Bill's legendary outdoor travelling show. In 1885, following the hanging of his friend Louis Riel, bison hunter Gabriel Dumont fled to the United States. There he was recruited by the legendary Buffalo Bill, founder of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, a gigantic outdoor travelling show that re-enacted life in the American West. It made a huge impression on Dumont, and he dreamed of putting together a similar show to tell the story of the struggle of Canada's M tis to reclaim their rights. The creative team behind Gabriel Dumont's Wild West Show - including ten authors, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, French- and English-speaking men and women - brings Dumont's dream to life in a captivating, joyously anachronistic saga. The theatrical version of Gabriel Dumont's Wild West Show presented by the National Arts Centre was one of a number of exceptional projects funded through the Canada Council for the Arts' New Chapter initiative.

Digitale Technologien haben auch dem Kultursektor neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet. Viele Museen sind im Internet mit unterschiedlichem Material vertreten. Augmented Reality und Virtual Reality bieten auch in bestehenden Museen Immersionserlebnisse. Aber für viele Themen gibt es keine Museen und Ausstellungen. Die Autorengruppe „Forum Virtuelle Museen“ legt nun einen Diskussionsbeitrag vor, der Museen im Metaversum thematisiert und konzeptionelle, vielleicht auch schon umsetzbare Entwürfe zu virtuellen Museen fördern soll. Dabei entstehen zwei Basisfragen: „Was ist ein virtuelles Museum?“ und „Für welche Themen oder Konstellationen kann ein virtuelles Museum besonders geeignet sein?“. Die vorliegende Schrift gibt zur erstgenannten Frage eine pragmatische Antwort. Zur zweiten Frage und zur Umsetzung werden umfassende Thesen aufgestellt.

Digital technologies have opened up new possibilities for the cultural sector. Many museums are represented on the internet with various materials. Augmented reality and virtual reality offer immersion experiences even for existing museums. However, for many topics there are no museums and exhibitions. The author group "Virtual Museums Forum" is now presenting a contribution to the discussion that focuses on museums in the metaverse. It aims to promote conceptual considerations for implementing virtual museums. This raises two fundamental questions: "What is a virtual museum?" and "For which topics or constellations can a virtual museum be particularly suitable?" This book provides a pragmatic answer to the first question. Comprehensive theses are then put forward for the second question and implementation of virtual museums.

Narrating Space / Spatializing Narrative

Narrating Space / Spatializing Narrative

Marie-Laure Ryan; Kenneth Foote; Maoz Azaryahu

Ohio State University Press
2016
pokkari
Narrating Space / Spatializing Narrative: Where Narrative Theory and Geography Meet by Marie-Laure Ryan, Kenneth Foote, and Maoz Azaryahu offers a groundbreaking approach to understanding how space works in narrative and narrative theory and how narratives work in real space. Thus far, space has traditionally been viewed by narratologists as a backdrop to plot. This study argues that space serves important but under-explored narrative roles: It can be a focus of attention, a bearer of symbolic meaning, an object of emotional investment, a means of strategic planning, a principle of organization, and a supporting medium. Space intersects with narrative in two principal ways: Narrating space considers space as an object of representation, while spatializing narrative approaches space as the environment in which narrative is physically deployed. The inscription of narrative in real space is illustrated by such forms as technology-supported locative narratives, street names, and historical/heritage site and museum displays. While narratologists are best equipped to deal with the narration of space, geographers can make significant contributions to narratology by drawing attention to the spatialization of narrative. By bringing these two approaches together and thereby building a bridge between narratology and geography Narrating Space / Spatializing Narrative yields both a deepened understanding of human spatial experience and greater insight into narrative theory and poetic forms."
