Curation in the Age of Platform Capitalism

Autor: Panos Kompatsiaris

Número de Páginas: 169

This book employs the figure of curation—the selection, arrangement, and display of objects, concepts, and things—to explore the cultures of platform capitalism. Considering its rise in the global art world as an authorial, meaning-making activity and an organizational-entrepreneurial endeavour, it looks at curation as the interweaving of innovative concepts, elaborate storytelling, and trusted experts leaking out from galleries to hashtags. Its logic encompasses diverse spheres ranging from high-brow art and the fashion world to low-brow experience economies and economies of authenticity, from confidence cultures and relationship gurus to algorithmic spectacles. More than an economy, “curate and be curated” is a diffused imperative amidst the disorienting spread of information that digital platforms enable: What to post, what to wear, what to eat, what friends to have, what music to hear, what films to watch, what places to visit, what socks to choose, and what opinion to have about serious issues like climate change, military coups, AI, genetics, space colonization, and cryonics, or everyday issues like football, fashion, and diet. Drawing on critical platform theory,...

Anora Silby a le pouvoir de voir les défunts et de transformer les esprits en pièces d'or. Deux dons qu'elle préférerait garder secrets, alors qu'elle tente de mener une existence sans histoire dans sa nouvelle école. Après tout, elle n'a pas changé d'identité pour rien...

Dès son premier jour, elle est confrontée à l'âme d'une fille morte sur le campus dont la pièce d’or est introuvable.

Wicked Deeds

Autor: James M. O'kane

Número de Páginas: 229

To most Americans, homicide appears to be a random act, one committed by a deranged and irrational killer in a haphazard, unpredictable manner. Murder is seen as a chaotic, disorganized act beyond the realm of reason. In Wicked Deeds, James O'Kane shows that homicide is actually rather predictable, and patterned with respect to its assailants and victims, the circumstances in which it takes place, the time and location where it occurs, and the motives which precipitate the murderous act. Engagingly written and solidly grounded in evidence, this is a definitive study of murder in the United States. O'Kane explores the phenomena of homicide, illustrating the journalists' "who, what, why, when, and where" of murder. He differentiates criminal homicide, such as murder in the first and second degree, from other types of killings, including legal and quasi-legal killings. These include suicide, abortion, accidental death, terrorism, and other non-criminal types of homicide, such as justifiable and excusable homicide. The author's focus is criminal homicide, and he uses age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status, as well as demographic data to explain ever-recurring patterns of murder in...

Soccer Moms Gone Wild

Autor: Conrad Riker

Número de Páginas: 169

Are you tired of being told that you're privileged just because you're a man? Are you confused about the constant mixed messages coming from society about what it means to be a man? Do you feel like your voice is being silenced in today's feminist-driven narratives? "Soccer Moms Gone Wild: How Feminism Hijacked America" is a wake-up call for all those who believe in the traditional values of masculinity and the importance of recognizing the challenges faced by men in today's society. This book examines: • How societal norms and values have increasingly favored female perspectives and interests at the expense of men’s welfare. • The growing educational achievement gap where boys are falling behind in schools, attributing factors to teaching styles, curriculum, and disciplinary policies that may favor girls. • Bias in family courts, particularly in divorce and custody battles, where men often face uphill battles for equal rights to child custody and fair financial settlements. • The portrayal of men in the media, from incompetent fathers to perpetual aggressors, and the impact of this on societal perceptions and self-image. • Health and well-being disparities,...

The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows.
