<P>What are the uses of musical exoticism? In Wild Music, Maria Sonevytsky tracks vernacular Ukrainian discourses of «wildness» as they manifested in popular music during a volatile decade of Ukrainian political history bracketed by two revolutions. From the Eurovision Song Contest to reality TV, from Indigenous radio to the revolution stage, Sonevytsky assesses how these practices exhibit and re-imagine Ukrainian tradition and culture. As the rise of global populism forces us to...

<P>Playing It Dangerously questions what happens when feelings attached to popular music conflict with expressions of the dominant socio-cultural order, and how this tension enters into the politics of popular culture at various levels of human interaction. Tambura is a genre-crossing performance practice centered on an eponymous stringed instrument, part of the mandolin family, that Roma, Croats, and Serbs adopted from Ottoman forces. The acclamation that one «plays dangerously»...

We all share identical properties that mark us out as human beings. Even so, every person is unique: we are not clones. It's the same with depression – or perhaps more properly the depressions (plural) – because they manifest in so many different ways and under different circumstances yet in essence remain the same. This is a simple enough observation, yet there appears to be little understanding of the condition – or conditions – among the general public, who tend to lump together all...

Conversación y convivencia hacen gala de un entrelazamiento constante y vivificador. Conversar y convivir, por lo tanto, como expresión filo y ontogenética de la humanidad, crean y recrean contextos y espacios vivificadores en donde el sentido de la formación tiene una mayor posibilidad de ayudar a construir un mundo mejor cargado de significaciones humanas y plagado de convergencias en donde las alteridades se busquen y se abracen en un perenne contubernio de experiencias comunes y de...

Con la irrupción de la covid-19, «por primera vez en nuestra historia moderna (y todo hace pensar que no será la última), el cuerpo ha sido tomado universalmente como potencial agente patógeno». Hemos aprendido a relacionarnos solo a través de pantallas, evitando y eludiendo los cuerpos, que se han convertido casi en un estorbo para desarrollar nuestras vidas. De hecho, «sabemos que si no fuera por internet, el confinamiento, sencillamente, no habría sido posible.»Frente a esta progresiva...

"El Catatumbo -etimológicamente, \'la casa de los truenos\'– es una subregión transfronteriza ubicada entre Colombia y Venezuela. Ha sido célebre de manera venturosa gracias a la inmortalización, realizada por las crónicas de los tiempos coloniales, de un fenómeno natural maravilloso de tormentas eléctricas denominado «„el relámpago del Catatumbo“». Los barí lo definieron como «„la concentración de millones de cocuyos“» (luciérnagas).Fiel a la referencia heredada de este singular...

In the Name of the People is an analysis and reflection on the global populist surge, written from the local forms it takes in the places we inhabit: the United States, Catalonia, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Mexico, Quebec, Russia, and Ukraine. The upheaval and polarizations caused by populist policies around the world indicates above all the urgency to develop a series of planetary revolutionary interpretations, and to make the necessary connections in order to understand and act in...

Space and geography are important aspects of social science research in fields such as criminology, sociology, political science, and public health. Many social scientists are interested in the spatial clustering of various behaviors and events. There has been a rapid development of interest in regression methods for analyzing spatial data over recent years, but little available on the topic that is aimed at graduate students and advanced undergraduate classes in the social sciences...

In recent years, urban uprisings, insurrections, riots, and occupations have been an expression of the rage and desperation of our time. So too have they expressed the joy of reclaiming collective life and a different way of composing a common world. At the root of these rebellious moments lies thresholds—the spaces to be crossed from cities of domination and exploitation to a common world of liberation. Towards the City of Thresholds is a pioneering and ingenious study of...

Throughout written history and across the world, women have protested the restrictions of gender and the limitations placed on women’s bodies and women’s lives. People—of any and no gender—have protested and theorized, penned manifestos and written poetry and songs, testified and lobbied, gone on strike and fomented revolution, quietly demanded that there is an “I” and loudly proclaimed that there is a “we.” The Book of Feminism chronicles this history of defiance and tracks it around the...

What started as a search for a questionable confirmation of a lone statistic ended after close to two years of research, being a candid conversation from a concerned citizen on inaccurate data with self-serving agendas. Inside this cover, you will discover startling...

Today, the word prejudice has come to seem synonymous with bigotry; therefore the only way a person can establish freedom from bigotry is by claiming to have wiped his mind free from prejudice. English psychiatrist and writer Theodore Dalrymple shows that freeing the mind from prejudice is not only impossible, but entails intellectual, moral and emotional dishonesty. The attempt to eradicate prejudice has several dire consequences for the individual and society as a whole.

Since the beginning of the New Deal, American liberals have insisted that the government must do more—much more—to help the poor, to increase economic security, to promote social justice and solidarity, to reduce inequality, and to mitigate the harshness of capitalism. Nonetheless, liberals have never answered, or even acknowledged, the corresponding question: What would be the size and nature of a welfare state that was not contemptibly austere, that did not urgently need new...

The Twenty-First Century is witnessing an epic struggle between the forces of global governance and American constitutional democracy. Transnational progressives and pragmatists in the UN, EU, post-modern states of Europe, NGOs, corporations, prominent foundations, and most importantly, in America’s leading elites, seek to establish “global governance.” Further, they understand that in order to achieve global governance, American sovereignty must be subordinated to...

Look around you and think for a minute: Is America too crowded?For years, we have been warned about the looming danger of overpopulation: people jostling for space on a planet that’s busting at the seams and running out of oil and food and land and everything else.It’s all bunk. The “population bomb” never exploded. Instead, statistics from around the world make clear that since the 1970s, we’ve been facing exactly the opposite problem: people...
