Download or read book Cold War Legacies written by John Beck and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From futures research, pattern recognition algorithms, nuclear waste disposal and surveillance technologies, to smart weapons systems, contemporary fiction and art, this book shows that we are now living in a world imagined and engineered during the Cold War. Drawing on theorists such as Jean Baudrillard, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Luce Irigaray, Friedrich Kittler, Michel Serres, Peter Sloterdijk, Carl Schmitt, Bernard Stiegler and Paul Virilio this collection makes connections between Cold War material and conceptual technologies, as they relate to the arts, society and culture.
Book Synopsis The Future of Nuclear Waste by : Rosemary Joyce
Download or read book The Future of Nuclear Waste written by Rosemary Joyce and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can nations ensure that buried nuclear waste goes undisturbed for thousands of years? The United States government tried to solve this problem with the help of experts they identified in communication, materials science, and futurism. From the perspective of a contemporary archaeologist, The Future of Nuclear Waste looks at what these experts suggested, and what the government endorsed: designs for a modern monument, an artificial ruin, a purpose-built archaeological site that would escape future exploration. One design, selected for development, argued that because specific archaeological sites and objects (among them Stonehenge, Serpent Mound, the Rosetta Stone, and rock art) made long ago have endured and are seen as significant today, contemporary engineers could build monuments that would be equally effective in conveying messages that last even longer. An alternative proposal, which government planners set aside, was rooted in the idea that universal archetypes of design arouse similar human emotions in all times and places. Both proposals used common sense, assuming that human reactions and understandings are relatively predictable. Employing an anthropology of common sense, Rosemary Joyce explores why people chosen for their expertise relied on generalizations contradicted by the actual history of preservation and interpretation of archaeological sites and the closest analogues to archetype-based designs, which are the large scale installations produced in the Land Art movement. The book reveals the underlying imagination shared by the experts, government planners, and artists, in which the American West is an empty space available for projects like these. It counters this with the dissenting voices of indigenous scholars and activists who document the presence on these nuclear landscapes of Native American people. The result is an eye-opening and unique demonstration of how a deep understanding of the remote past informs critical debates about the present.
Book Synopsis Art and Nuclear Power by : Anna Volkmar
Download or read book Art and Nuclear Power written by Anna Volkmar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity is struggling with the environmental destruction and social change caused by modern technologies like nuclear reactors. Politicians, scientists, and business leaders all too often revert to a tried and tested set of solutions that fails to grasp the wicked nature of the problem. Eschewing the problem-solving approach that dominates the nuclear energy debate, Anna Volkmar suggests that the only intelligent way to account for the inherent complexity of nuclear technology is not by trying to resolve it but to muddle through it. Through in-depth analyses of contemporary visual art, Volkmar demonstrates how art can suggest ways to muddle through these issues intelligently and ethically. This book is recommended for students and scholars of art history, anthropology, social science, ecocriticism, and philosophy.
Book Synopsis Precision Vaccinology for Infectious Diseases by : Mahbuba Rahman
Download or read book Precision Vaccinology for Infectious Diseases written by Mahbuba Rahman and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-29 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human body is a vast network of interacting genes, proteins, and metabolites. These components, which may be considered host factors, change under disease, treatment or healthy condition. While treatment of many diseases depends on therapeutic drugs, vaccines remain the most effective long-term public health intervention to prevent infectious diseases. To date, vaccines have been developed to treat entire populations with little provision for predisposing individual host factor differences. However, the use and application of vaccines is facing multiple challenges with increasing numbers of vaccine non-responders and vaccine-relapsed individuals. The cause of this complication is partially due to host-factors. Another challenge is the adverse effects of vaccines in patients with primary immunodeficiency or autoimmune diseases, as well as vaccine-waning immunity in ageing populations, obese populations, or those with co-infection. To overcome these challenges, the solution may be the design, and formulation of precision vaccines, which are patient-specific.
Book Synopsis Toxic Heritage by : Elizabeth Kryder-Reid
Download or read book Toxic Heritage written by Elizabeth Kryder-Reid and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toxic Heritage addresses the heritage value of contamination and toxic sites and provides the first in-depth examination of toxic heritage as a global issue. Bringing together case studies, visual essays, and substantive chapters written by leading scholars from around the world, the volume provides a critical framing of the globally expanding field of toxic heritage. Authors from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and methodologies examine toxic heritage as both a material phenomenon and a concept. Organized into five thematic sections, the book explores the meaning and significance of toxic heritage, politics, narratives, affected communities, and activist approaches and interventions. It identifies critical issues and highlights areas of emerging research on the intersections of environmental harm with formal and informal memory practices, while also highlighting the resilience, advocacy, and creativity of communities, scholars, and heritage professionals in responding to the current environmental crises. Toxic Heritage is useful and relevant to scholars and students working across a range of disciplines, including heritage studies, environmental science, archaeology, anthropology, and geography.

Book excerpt: "Depuis près de quinze ans, Cécile Massart développe un travail centré sur la mémoire du déchet nucléaire et son devenir, sujet unique de l'artiste. Au fil des nombreux sites étudiés, en Europe d'abord, au Brésil et en Inde ensuite, et enfin à Rokkasho au Japon, Cécile Massart modifie la nature du regard qu'elle porte sur ces lieux. Après s'être attachée au marquage et à l'archivage des déchets eux-mêmes, l'artiste développe un travail sur les sites où sont conservés ces résidus radioactifs: lieux isolés autant que camouflés dans une programmation volontaire d'un effacement progressif. Dans Cover - ce qui couvre et est visible -, Cécile Massart se penche, cette fois, sur la couverture architecturale de ces sites radioactifs cachés dans des périphéries insoupçonnées. L'artiste veut les rendre visibles et identifiables, leur donner des lettres de noblesse qui renoue avec une certaine forme d'architecture funéraire, en particulier, celle du XVIIIe siècle, rêvée par les visionnaires Ledoux et Boullée". (Catherine De Braekeleer, extrait de la préface).

Download or read book Dealing with Interests, Values and Knowledge in Managing Risk written by OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the fourth workshop of the OECD/NEA Forum on Stakeholder Confidence, and focused on the issue of "Dealing with interests, values and knowledge in managing risk", in the particular context of Belgium, and the local partnerships formed for the long-term management of low, short-lived radioactive waste. The proceedings promote the idea of developing an integrated proposal to the national Government to construct a disposal facility for such waste. The general consensus is that stakeholder involvement has been beneficial, particularly where partnerships have formed amongst representatives of local organizations, and that the best practice approaches adopted can be of value in an international context
