Book Synopsis Adsensory Financialisation by : Pamela Odih
Download or read book Adsensory Financialisation written by Pamela Odih and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adsensory technology presupposes a neoliberal entrepreneurial self as an integral feature of its biopolitical financialisation of healthcare regimes. According to Michel Foucault, neoliberalism is indebted to the endeavour of its self-disciplined subjects, investing human capital in a self-regulated, entrepreneurial pursuit of responsible healthcare and well-being. Primarily informed by social network analytics and virtual ethnographic observations, this book identifies the biopolitical basis of adsensory technologies. It argues that a paradoxical feature of adsensory technologies dissimulating “that there is nothing” (Jean Baudrillard) is the proliferation of risk. This is because the dissimulation of nothing opens up the possibility that “everything can be a risk, in so far as the type of event it falls under can be treated according to the principles of insurance technology” (Francois Ewald). Adsensory wearable technologies are called upon as “a strategy of deterrence” (Jean Baudrillard) to indemnify capitalism’s production of signs which dissimulate their simulation. In a context in which much that was certain now feigns its own existence, the insurance professed by adsensory technologies provides for an unrealisable guarantee against indefinable unknowable risks. Based also on case studies of European Court of Justice personal finance insurance rulings, this book engages critically with the neoliberal construct of the entrepreneurial lifestyle insurance subject. Social network analytics are utilised here to map bio-technology onto neoliberal regimes of financialised well-being and healthcare provision. In so doing, the book situates adsensory technologies within the marketising healthcare management programmes that are currently aligning the neoliberal reengineering of health and well-being citizenship with the biopolitical healthcare financialisation of populations. Paradoxically, in their endeavour to actor network virtual well-being health communities, adsensory technologies proliferate the individuating marketised conditions of neoliberal self-regulating entrepreneurialism. This gives rise to aleatory materialist dialectics of financialised surveillance far exceeding the regulatory time and space modalities of Foucauldian panoptics and Mathiesen synoptics. Adsensory technologies are integral to a seismic transformation in the cultural economies of time presently eliding digital advertising and insurantial technologies. Axiomatic with the synchronic times of the adsensory technologies valorised by lifestyle insurance, much riskier asynchronic embodied times, transgressively dissimilating the limits of financialisation, are beginning to emerge.
Book Synopsis Adsensory Urban Ecology (Volume One) by : Pamela Odih
Download or read book Adsensory Urban Ecology (Volume One) written by Pamela Odih and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adsensory sign technology, which depicts the human body as both object and subject of inscriptive advertising technologies, is integral to a western capitalist insurantial financialisation of health and wellbeing. Developing further the theme of adsensory technologies of the sign, in conjunction with Daniel Bell’s theory of the codification of knowledge as an axial feature of the structuring of post-industrial society, this book explores gentrification in heterotopic post-industrial urban spaces. It brings together case studies from London’s Grenfell Tower, exploring perilous façadism refurbishment and London’s Garden Bridge project and speculative capital regeneration. These studies illustrate, empirically, the extent to which advertising adsensory technologies have become integral to the gentrification of post-industrial urban spaces. Several of the case studies engage critically with the empirical observation that, in the post-industrial urban ecology of inner-city regeneration, adsensory technologies extend avariciously into the infrastructure of neoliberal, managerialist gentrification. In addition, the book explores the forms of capital accumulation which are emerging from the integration of adsensory technology into the gentrification of post-industrial urban spaces, and examines a new form of capital accumulation in inner-city gentrification, predicated on the (de)generative integrity of adsensory financialisation.

Book Synopsis Advertising and Cultural Politics in Global Times by : Pamela Odih
Download or read book Advertising and Cultural Politics in Global Times written by Pamela Odih and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advertising and Cultural Politics in Global Times traces daringly transgressive convergences between cultural politics and global advertising media. It engages with a range of interpolations between cultural politics and advertising technologies including: the governmental rationality of neoliberal vistas, transgressive aesthetics and the cultural politics of representation, the political sign-economy of citizen branding, techno-political convergences between the social and political, and the marking of a new exciting geo-political terrain for cultural politics in global times. Tracing global advertising practices to the cultural politics commonly manifested in the postmodern political caesura of advertising, this book makes use of extensive case studies, whilst drawing on the work of Baudrillard, Giroux, Foucault, Castells and Latour to illustrate the manner in which advertising continues to revolutionize the political sphere. As such, it will be of interest to a range of readers across media studies, cultural studies and sociology.

Book Synopsis Visual Media and Culture of ‘Occupy’ by : Pamela Odih
Download or read book Visual Media and Culture of ‘Occupy’ written by Pamela Odih and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 15th October 2011, hundreds of anti-capitalist protestors assembled into a spectacular carnivalesque procession towards Paternoster Square; the heartland of London’s banking district. Beginning with Althusser’s concept of ‘interpellation’, this book examines Occupy LSX St Paul’s Cathedral in relation to media spectacle. Initially focusing on arrival narratives, it asks the question: were the 15th October 2011 anti-capitalist protestors ‘hailed’ into becoming the subjects of Occupy LSX St Paul’s Cathedral? Based on extensive ethnographic interviews and photographic data, this book demonstrates the complex ways in which Occupy LSX St Paul’s Cathedral ‘interpolated’ (Ashcroft 2001) and subverted media spectacle. Kairos exemplifies the longue durée of the art and ethics of Occupy. The bifarious dimensions of kairos emphasise an ethics of care and devotion alongside the indeterminate possibilities of the aleatory encounter. Formulated within Marxist aleatory materialism, this book explores the momentous reality of Occupy LSX St Paul’s Cathedral. Instantiated within an extraordinary conjuncture of conflict between capital and labour, Occupy LSX St Paul’s Cathedral manifested formidable expressions of resistance to the disembodied ‘space of flows’; ‘timeless times’; and the ‘real virtualities’ of transnational capitalist accumulation. Empirical case studies are used to engage with the extraordinary strategies that Occupy LSX St Paul’s Cathedral politically cultivated to address: (i) the future of print news media, The Occupied Times of London; (ii) disjunctures and disruptions within the locality of the ‘space of place’ amidst the harsh reality of neoliberal austerity measures; (iii) the harnessing of multi-modal information communication technologies as part of an imperative to unite the ‘space of place’ with an international environmental citizenship; (iv) critically mobilising market analogues and promotional media integral to the neoliberal market reform of public sector healthcare provision and, in so doing, occupying a radical riposte to the entrepreneurial self and marketized morals of neoliberalism’s homo economicus consumer citizen. In these and many other examples, this book argues that Occupy LSX St Paul’s Cathedral exemplifies the possibilities of kairos as a condition and consequence of the politics, visual media and culture of new social movements.

Book Synopsis Gender and Work in Capitalist Economies by : Pam Odih
Download or read book Gender and Work in Capitalist Economies written by Pam Odih and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2007-10-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the industrial revolution through to more recent advances in information technology, radical changes in working practices have accelerated rates of production to previously unimaginable levels. The establishment of wage relations, in the second half of the 19th Century, precipitated the rise of the 'employment society' and a movement towards synchronized work. Industrialization epitomized the capitalist definition of work time. In Gender and Work in Capitalist Economies, Pamela Odih advances a politics of gender and time, exploring the sociological aspects of work. This book provides a dynamic intervention into Marxist analysis of time and capitalist accumulation, and looks at how in contemporary regimes this translates as the universal appropriation of women’s labour time. Pamela Odih reasons that it is a disconcerting fact of global manufacturing, that accelerated turnover gains have become increasingly dependent on the exploitation of a spatially disaggregated, feminized global assembly-line. The book explores: Industrial and post-industrial times as moments in a longer-term trend Manufacturing in the 24 hour economy Accelerated rates of disaggregated production Gender and Work in Capitalist Economies is key reading for students of gender studies, sociology, organizational analysis and economic history.

Book Synopsis Ecofeminist Water Ecology by : Pamela Odih
Download or read book Ecofeminist Water Ecology written by Pamela Odih and published by Goldsmiths University of London. This book was released on 2013 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The denaturing of environmental sustainability is observably accelerating; and continuously bringing into question the proficiency of capitalism to superintend the proliferating risks of global climate change. Industrial modernization involves exploitative subjugation; and the capitalization of the natural environment is an integral feature of this capitalist dynamic. It is evident that the preceding modes of industrial capitalism have modernized in disregard of issues of sustainability in the expenditure of renewable resources. ‘Risk society’ is the unintended outcome or reverse-side consequences of industrial capitalist opulence. According to Ulrich Beck, the conditions of the risk society precipitate changes at the level of individual apprehension. In the risk society, insecurities erupt through the disjunctures, contradictions and conflicts that capillary from industrial society into subsequent orders of modernity. The current milieu of privatized securities erodes collective solidarities, individuating identities and undermining a social defense against local experiences of global risks. Nowhere is this clearer than in the paralyzing grip of environmental crisis. Overwhelmed by the unprecedented magnitudes of environmental risks, political institutions no longer profess to guarantee present and future wellbeing. Faced with the local immediacy of international environmental risks, individuals are compelled into defensive action. Beck describes ‘sub-politics’ as confrontational and immediate, a direct political engagement indexed to the particular locality of disjuncture. It is a politics of the moment, in the moment. This book explores the sub-political geographies of river restoration so as to critically examine the extent to which ‘meta-industrial labour’ is the fundamental, material and symbolic mediation of ecological activism. Michel Foucault identifies inter-relationships between sign technologies (inscriptive signs, symbolic medium, signification); technologies of production (transformation of material things); technologies of power (objectivising categorization); and technologies of the self (self-regulating abilities of subjects to impact discourse on the cultivation of body and soul). Primarily informed by organizational ethnographies, extensive interviews and ethnographic observations of river restorations this book empirically examines how symbolic mediations of ecological activism are inextricably bound up with ‘government’ i.e., shifting assemblages of formal and informal agencies, practices and institutions that variously and differentially align the self-regulating ability of subjects with the design, objectives and scope of a regime of governance. Emerging through this assemblage can be located a ‘feminine ideal’ through which river restoration is symbolically mediated. But the operation of assemblages of actions upon actions through symbolic mediations of ecological activism, in terms of the ‘feminine ideal’, is not prescriptive or directly imposed upon subjects. This book extensively illustrates how, the symbolic mediations of ecological activism exemplify the manifold ways in which the exercise of power opens up a field of possibilities for the cultivation of gender identities.

Download or read book Data Practices written by Evelyn Ruppert and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How EU data practices establish and assign people to categories, and how this matters in enacting--"making up"--Europe as a population and people. What is "Europe" and who are "Europeans"? Data Practices approaches this contemporary political and theoretical question by treating it as a practical problem of counting. Only through the myriad data practices that make up methods such as censuses can EU member states know their national populations, and this in turn is utilized by the EU to understand the population of Europe. But this volume approaches data practices not simply as reflecting populations but as performative in two senses: they simultaneously enact--that is, "make up"--a European population and, by so doing--intentionally or otherwise--also contribute to making up a European people. The book develops a conception of data practices to analyze and interpret findings from collaborative ethnographic multisite fieldwork conducted by an interdisciplinary team of social science researchers as part of a five-year project, Peopling Europe: How Data Make a People. The book focuses on data practices that involve establishing and assigning people to categories and how this matters in enacting Europe as a population and people. Five core chapters explore key categories of people--usual residents, refugees, homeless people, migrants, and ethnic minorities--and how they come into being through specific data practices such as defining, estimating, recalibrating and inferring. Two additional chapters address two key subject positions that data practices produce and require: the data subject and the statistician subject.

Download or read book Academic Diary written by Les Back and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharp and witty observations of academic life that range from the local to the global, from PowerPoint to the halls of power. Is a university education still relevant? What are the forces that threaten it? Should academics ever be allowed near Twitter? In Academic Diary, Les Back has chronicled three decades of his academic career, turning his sharp and often satirical eye to the everyday aspects of life on campus and the larger forces that are reshaping it. Presented as a collection of entries from a single academic year, the diary moves from the local to the global, from PowerPoint to the halls of power. With entries like “Ivory Towers” and “The Library Angel,” these smart, humorous, and sometimes absurd campus tales not only demystify the opaque rituals of scholarship but also offer a personal perspective on the far-reaching issues of university life. Commenting on topics that range from the impact of commercialization and fee increases to measurement and auditing research, the diary offers a critical analysis of higher education today. At the same time, it is a passionate argument for the life of the mind, the importance of collaborative thinking, and the reasons that scholarship and writing are still vital for making sense of our troubled and divided world.
Book Synopsis Mindfulness and Acceptance for Gender and Sexual Minorities by : Matthew D. Skinta
Download or read book Mindfulness and Acceptance for Gender and Sexual Minorities written by Matthew D. Skinta and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As more clinicians train in mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies, the demand for skills specifically for treating diverse clients grows. In this much-needed edited volume, you’ll find evidence-based strategies for treating gender and sexual minorities with acceptance and compassion for better treatment outcomes. Gender and sexual minorities face unique concerns and, according to research, are actually more likely to want and seek therapeutic help due to greater levels of psychological distress. But research also shows that many psychologists and therapists do not feel adequately educated or efficacious discussing topics related to sexuality and gender in clinical practice. This book will address this significant gap with evidence-based and best-practice interventions and applications. Mindfulness and Acceptance for Gender and Sexual Minorities offers a number of practical strategies within a contextual behavioral science framework, including mindfulness and acceptance-based interventions, compassion-focused therapy (CFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), relational frame theory (RFT), and more. With chapters on stigma, shame, relationships, and parenting, this book will be a valuable resource for all therapists. If you’re a clinician, you understand the ongoing need for cutting-edge, effective approaches for treating a variety of clients. With this guide, you’ll learn about the unique application of contextual behavioral approaches as they relate specifically to the experiences of gender and sexual minorities, and feel better equipped to help all of your clients work toward happiness and health.
