Book Synopsis Guinea Conakry Art and Culture, Politics, Economy. African Art by : Finlay Rogers
Download or read book Guinea Conakry Art and Culture, Politics, Economy. African Art written by Finlay Rogers and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2020-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guinea Conakry Art and Culture, Politics, Economy. African Art. Guinea Evolution, an African Environment. Guinea is a country that has shaped history while conserving its distinctions. Intersection of civilizations of the African Middle Ages, the country was the center of birth, the extension, and the successions of the grand West African empires. Guinea, always protective of its liberty, was the last to be colonized in West Africa and the first to recuperate its independence on 2 October, 1958. "We prefer liberty in poverty to riches in slavery" moved Africans everywhere in this historic choice affirmed to the world in August, 1958. From the coasts sprinkled with splendid beaches to the luxurious forest region to the rich and varied folklore of the gam-filled savannas of Upper Guinea across the Djolibu (Niger River) from fifteenth century fortresses to the magnificent countryside of the Futa Djallon with its micro- climate, Guinea is a country that synthesized West Africa. Guinea, rich in colors, in emotion, she is also in attractions. Fruits and vegetables ripen in the sun, without chemical products. This natural and extremely varied and exceptionally charming heritage adds an important artistic and cultural richness: the authenticity of different cultures with their songs, dances and traditions, the rich artisanal patrimony, etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ForewordWhile the world is undoubtedly approaching a global financial crisis with very uncertain steps, the reality that developing countries require urgent prioritization and improvement of financial habits cannot go unnoticed by those who think they are the owners of all the economic, financial, natural and energy resources of a country. Although the information on oil in Equatorial Guinea is always in reference to percentage data and very rarely with numerical figures (due to the level of transparency of information on the sector in the country), it is true that the economy of Equatorial Guinea has suffered the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in terms of the fall in world demand and oil prices caused by the crisis. Even so, only during the first quarter of 2019 the revenues from local sales of lampante oil, gasoline and gas oil ( dieses) by the national oil company (Gepetrol) were 6,773,617,140 (Six trillion seven hundred and seventy-three million six hundred and seventeen thousand one hundred and forty Francs Fcfa ) or what is the same, 10,370. 789.32 (Ten million three hundred and seventy thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine and thirty-two Euros); and the sales for the export of gas only to the Kingdom of Spain were 500 million Euros per year, and the main exports for that year were, certainly crude oil (3,080 million dollars), and gas (920 million dollars), all enough to create prosperity in a country of less than two million inhabitants, for ever and ever. But when the economy is not prepared for its own subsistence and self-sufficiency, then situations of economic contraction are created which should not even exist, and which become the reality of a prosperous nation condemned to poverty and misery.

Book Synopsis The Economy of Prestige by : James F. English
Download or read book The Economy of Prestige written by James F. English and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about one of the great untold stories of modern cultural life: the remarkable ascendancy of prizes in literature and the arts. Such prizes and the competitions they crown are almost as old as the arts themselves, but their number and power--and their consequences for society and culture at large--have expanded to an unprecedented degree in our day. In a wide-ranging overview of this phenomenon, James F. English documents the dramatic rise of the awards industry and its complex role within what he describes as an economy of cultural prestige. Observing that cultural prizes in their modern form originate at the turn of the twentieth century with the institutional convergence of art and competitive spectator sports, English argues that they have in recent decades undergone an important shift--a more genuine and far-reaching globalization than what has occurred in the economy of material goods. Focusing on the cultural prize in its contemporary form, his book addresses itself broadly to the economic dimensions of culture, to the rules or logic of exchange in the market for what has come to be called "cultural capital." In the wild proliferation of prizes, English finds a key to transformations in the cultural field as a whole. And in the specific workings of prizes, their elaborate mechanics of nomination and election, presentation and acceptance, sponsorship, publicity, and scandal, he uncovers evidence of the new arrangements and relationships that have refigured that field.
Book Synopsis Enter Culture, Exit Arts? by : Semi Purhonen
Download or read book Enter Culture, Exit Arts? written by Semi Purhonen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key debates of contemporary cultural sociology – the rise of the ‘cultural omnivore’, the fate of classical ‘highbrow’ culture, the popularization, commercialization and globalization of culture – deal with temporal changes. Yet, systematic research about these processes is scarce due to the lack of suitable longitudinal data. This book explores these questions through the lens of a crucial institution of cultural mediation – the culture sections in quality European newspapers – from 1960 to 2010. Starting from the framework of cultural stratification and employing systematic content analysis both quantitative and qualitative of more than 13,000 newspaper articles, Enter Culture, Exit Arts? presents a synthetic yet empirically rich and detailed account of cultural transformation in Europe over the last five decades. It shows how classifications and hierarchies of culture have changed in course of the process towards increased cultural heterogeneity. Furthermore, it conceptualizes the key trends of rising popular culture and declining highbrow arts as two simultaneous processes: the one of legitimization of popular culture and the other of popularization of traditional legitimate culture, both important for the loosening of the boundary between ‘highbrow’ and ‘popular’. Through careful comparative analysis and illustrative snapshots into the specific socio-historical contexts in which the newspapers and their representations of culture are embedded – in Finland, France, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the UK – the book reveals the key patterns and diversity of European variations in the transformation of cultural hierarchies since the 1960s. The book is a collective endeavour of a large-scale international research project active between 2013 and 2018.
Book Synopsis Redlining Culture by : Richard Jean So
Download or read book Redlining Culture written by Richard Jean So and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The canon of postwar American fiction has changed over the past few decades to include far more writers of color. It would appear that we are making progress—recovering marginalized voices and including those who were for far too long ignored. However, is this celebratory narrative borne out in the data? Richard Jean So draws on big data, literary history, and close readings to offer an unprecedented analysis of racial inequality in American publishing that reveals the persistence of an extreme bias toward white authors. In fact, a defining feature of the publishing industry is its vast whiteness, which has denied nonwhite authors, especially black writers, the coveted resources of publishing, reviews, prizes, and sales, with profound effects on the language, form, and content of the postwar novel. Rather than seeing the postwar period as the era of multiculturalism, So argues that we should understand it as the invention of a new form of racial inequality—one that continues to shape the arts and literature today. Interweaving data analysis of large-scale patterns with a consideration of Toni Morrison’s career as an editor at Random House and readings of individual works by Octavia Butler, Henry Dumas, Amy Tan, and others, So develops a form of criticism that brings together qualitative and quantitative approaches to the study of literature. A vital and provocative work for American literary studies, critical race studies, and the digital humanities, Redlining Culture shows the importance of data and computational methods for understanding and challenging racial inequality.

Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Book excerpt: This 102-page report details how the dictatorship under President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has used an oil boom to entrench and enrich itself further at the expense of the country's people. Since oil was discovered there in the early 1990s, Equatorial Guinea's gross domestic product (GDP) has increased more than 5,000 percent, and the country has become the fourth-largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, living standards for the country's 500,000 people have not substantially improved.--Publisher description.
