Som liten bor Julia i en by i Guatemalas regnskog, där vilda flockar av papegojor lever bland de höga trädtopparna. Hon fascineras av de sagolika fåglarna. Papegojor kan bli närmare hundra år gamla och om de väljer att ta någon till sitt hjärta så förblir de en vän för livet.

Julia matar honom med frukt och bestämmer sig för att försöka bli hans vän.Julia + Arturo = sant är en hjärtevärmande berättelse som sträcker sig över flera decennier och kontinenter. När Julia och hennes familj så småningom lämnar byn i Guatemala för att flytta tillbaka till USA, så flyger Arturo efter den fullastade lastbilen. Inga gränsvakter kan stoppa honom! När hon senare i livet gifter sig och flyttar till Sverige, ja då följer Arturo förstås med.

Johan Ahlbäck var valsverksarbetaren från Smedjebacken som lyckades förverkliga sin dröm om att bli konstnär och i bild skildra de levnads- och arbetsvillkor som gällde under hans liv. Hans konstnärskap ger oss unika bilder inifrån industrivärlden som få har skildrat tidigare. Efter femton års slit i valsverket kunde Johan känna i sin kropp hur musklerna spändes och kunde som ingen annan fånga rörelserna i det kollektiva arbetet i järnverk och verkstäder. Hans bilder berättar om industriarbetarnas slitsamma kroppsarbete men även om det tunga arbetet med kolmilorna i skogen. Genom hans bilder får vi en inblick i det Sverige som en gång var och om de arbetsmiljöer som rådde i Bergslagen under 1900-talets första hälft.

Sommarlovet är slut och äntligen ska Malin få träffa Rasmus igen. Men det blir inte som hon tänkt sig. Man skulle nästan kunna tro att det där på klassresan aldrig hade hänt. Medan Malin mest umgås med Emelie och Knutte, hänger Rasmus med skolans coola gäng. I slutet av terminen blir de i alla fall äntligen ihop, men det dröjer inte länge innan Malin får sitt hjärta krossat och Rasmus blir ihop med Elin istället.

Det visar sig vara svårt för Malin att glömma Rasmus, även om hon har börjat umgås med en annan kille – Tsatsiki. För Malin kan inte glömma sin första och största kärlek.

Malin + Rasmus = Sant är den fristående fortsättningen på Klassresan. Det är en bok om livet, kärleken och döden.

Moni Nilsson (född 1955) är en av våra mest älskade barn- och ungdomsboksförfattare. Under sin författarbana, som spänner över nästan 30 år, har hon skrivit inom många olika genrer och för olika åldrar. Sitt stora genombrott fick hon med böckerna om Tsatsiki som översatts till över 20 språk och även har filmatiserats.

Shipwrecked sailors, samurai seeking a material and sometimes spiritual education, and laborers seeking to better their economic situation: these early Japanese travelers to the West occupy a little-known corner of Asian American studies. Pacific Pioneers profiles the first Japanese who resided in the United States or the Kingdom of Hawaii for a substantial period of time and the Westerners who influenced their experiences. Although Japanese immigrants did not start arriving in substantial numbers in the West until after 1880, in the previous thirty years a handful of key encounters helped shape relations between Japan and the United States. John E. Van Sant explores the motivations and accomplishments of these resourceful, sometimes visionary individuals who made important inroads into a culture quite different from their own and paved the way for the Issei and Nisei. Pacific Pioneers presents detailed biographical sketches of Japanese such as Joseph Heco, Niijima Jo, and the converts to the Brotherhood of the New Life and introduces the American benefactors, such as William Griffis, David Murray, and Thomas Lake Harris, who built relationships with their foreign visitors. Van Sant also examines the uneasy relations between Japanese laborers and sugar cane plantation magnates in Hawaii during this period and the shortlived Wakamatsu colony of Japanese tea and silk producers in California. A valuable addition to the literature, Pacific Pioneers brings to life a cast of colorful, long-forgotten characters while forging a critical link between Asian and Asian American studies.

Ethics in Online AI-Based Systems: Risks and Opportunities in Current Technological Trends creates a space to explore the ethical relevance that new technologies under development may have. Stimulating reflection and considerations with respect to the design, deployment, and use of technology helps readers guide current and future technological advancements from an ethically informed position to ensure that such advancements contribute towards solving current global and social challenges that we, as a society, have today. This will not only be useful for researchers and professional engineers, but also for educators, policy makers, and ethicists.Recent technological advancements have deeply transformed society and the way people interact with each other. Instantaneous communication platforms have allowed connections with other people, forming global communities and creating unprecedented opportunities in many sectors, making access to online resources more ubiquitous by reducing limitations imposed by geographical distance and temporal constrains. These technological developments bear ethically relevant consequences with their deployment, and legislations often lag behind such advancements. Because the appearance and deployment of these technologies happen much faster than legislative procedures, the way these technologies affect social interactions have profound ethical effects before any legislative regulation can be built in order to prevent and mitigate those effects.

Investigates how "intelligent" technological advances might be used, how they will affect social interactions, and what ethical consequences they might have for societyIdentifies and reflects on questions that need to be asked before the design, deployment, and application of upcoming technological advancements, aiming to both prevent and mitigate potential risks, as well as to identify potentially ethically-beneficial opportunitiesRecognizes the huge potential for ethically-relevant outcomes that technological advancements have, and take proactive steps to anticipate that they be designed from an ethically-informed positionProvides reflections that highlight the importance of the relationship between technology, their users and our society, thus encouraging informed design and educational and legislative approaches that take this relationship into account

Beloved, controversial, influential, the creator of such fascinating and award-winning films as My Own Private Idaho, Good Will Hunting, Elephant, and Milk, Gus Van Sant stands among the great international directors, equally at home in Hollywood and the avant-garde. Examining his films thematically, this book finds consistency of vision in Van Sant's unique approach to cinema, which deploys postmodernist techniques such as appropriation, nonlinear narrative, and queering--not in the service of the chic but to apply an all-inclusive viewpoint to ageless tales of life, love and death. Van Sant's films are viewed through a multi-genre prism, including the work of Bruce Weber and Derek Jarman, the westerns of Sam Peckinpah, the music of the Velvet Underground and Nirvana, the fiction of Sam D'Allesandro, and especially the "cut-up"/collage practice of intertextual authorship pioneered by William Burroughs.

The most important bilateral relationship in Asia since the end of World War II is assuredly between the United States and Japan. Despite the geographical and cultural differences between these two nations, as well as the bitterness leftover from the war, an amicable and prosperous relationship has developed between the two countries boasting the world's largest economies. As the 21st century progresses, the continuing goodwill between the U.S. and Japan is of the utmost importance, as the peace and stability of the Asia-Pacific depends on their cooperation and efforts to contain destabilizing factors in the area.The Historical Dictionary of United States-Japan Relations traces this one hundred and fifty year relationship through a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and cross-referenced dictionary entries on key persons, places, events, institutions, and organizations. Covering everything from Walt Whitman's poem, A Broadway Pageant, commemorating the visit of the Shogun's Embassy to the U.S. in 1860, to zaibatsu, this ready reference is an excellent starting point for the study of Japan's dealings with the U.S.

Far East, Down South: Asians in the American South offers a collection of ten insightful essays that illuminate the little-known history and increasing presence of Asian immigrants in the American southeast.In sharp contrast to the “melting pot” reputation of the United States, the American South—with its history of slavery, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement—has been perceived in stark and simplistic demographic terms. In Far East, Down South, editors Raymond A. Mohl, John E. Van Sant, and Chizuru Saeki provide a collection of essential essays that restores and explores an overlooked part of the South’s story—that of Asian immigration to the region. These essays form a comprehensive overview of key episodes and issues in the history of Asian immigrants to the South. During Reconstruction, southern entrepreneurs experimented with the replacement of slave labor with Chinese workers. As in the West, Chinese laborers played a role in the development of railroads. Japanese farmers also played a more widespread role than is usually believed. Filipino sailors recruited by the US Navy in the early decades of the twentieth century often settled with their families in the vicinity of naval ports such as Corpus Christi, Biloxi, and Pensacola. Internment camps brought Japanese Americans to Arkansas. Marriages between American servicemen and Japanese, Korean, Filipina, Vietnamese, and nationals in other theaters of war created many thousands of blended families in the South. In recent decades, the South is the destination of internal immigration as Asian Americans spread out from immigrant enclaves in West Coast and Northeast urban areas. Taken together, the book’s essays document numerous fascinating themes: the historic presence of Asians in the South dating back to the mid-nineteenth century; the sources of numerous waves of contemporary Asian immigration to the South; and the steady spread of Asians out from the coastal port cities. Far East, Down South adds a vital new dimension to popular understanding of southern history.

This Handbook is a much needed international reference work, written by leading writers in the field of global citizenship and education. It is based on the most recent research and practice from across the world, with the 'Geographically-Based Overviews' section providing summaries of global citizenship and education provided for Southern Africa, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Latin America, and East and South East Asia.The Handbook discusses, in the 'Key Ideologies' section, the philosophies that influence the meaning of global citizenship and education, including neo-liberalism and global capitalism; nationalism and internationalism; and issues of post-colonialism, indigeneity, and transnationalism. Next, the 'Key Concepts' section explores the ideas that underpin debates about global citizenship and education, with particular attention paid to issues of justice, equity, diversity, identity, and sustainable development. With these key concepts in place, the 'Principal Perspectives and Contexts' section turns to exploring global citizenship and education from a wide variety of viewpoints, including economic, political, cultural, moral, environmental, spiritual and religious, as well as taking into consideration issues of ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and social class. Finally, the 'Key Issues in the Teaching of Global Citizenship' section discusses how education can be provided through school subjects and study abroad programmes, as well as through other means including social media and online assessment, and political activism.This Handbook will be vital reading for academics, postgraduates and advanced undergraduates in the fields of sociology and education, particularly those with an interest in comparative studies.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

One of the most talented and imaginative artists of independent cinema, Gus Van Sant established himself with a number of important movies of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beginning with Mala Noche, the 1986 gay classic of personal film expression, followed by two key works of the American indie movement, Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho, Van Sant films often feature characters on the borders of mainstream society. Subsequent films included hits, misses, and a notorious remake of Psycho. Regardless of the critical or commercial response to his work, Van Sant has maintained a vision that is unique among contemporary filmmakers.Conversations with Gus Van Sant is the first critical study to include both extensive original interviews with the director as well as discussions of his entirebody of work. The exchanges between film scholar Mario Falsetto and the indie filmmaker cover fifteen films directed by Van Sant over a period of thirty years. Throughout these discussions, Van Sant talks candidly about each film’s production history, visual style, editing patterns, and creative soundwork. The director also expounds on his work with actors, the relationship of independent filmmakers to the wider film industry, and many other subjects related to his filmmaking process. The conversations examine the rich thematic explorations of Van Sant’s films, which often revolve around the search for love and community on the margins of society and feature a fascination with death.From experimental films such as Gerry, Last Days, Elephant,and Paranoid Park—where Van Sant rebooted his understanding of cinema and his relationship to the Hollywood film industry—to Milk and Promised Land, this book explores the rich network of meanings in the director’s work. By melding the author’s critical perspective with the filmmaker’s own ideas, Conversations with Gus Van Sant creates a wider perspective on one of the most iconoclastic and imaginative directors of the last thirty years.

Performance in the digital age has undergone a radical shift in which a once ephemeral art form can now be relived, replayed and repeated. Until now, much scholarship has been devoted to the nature of live performance in the digital age; Documenting Performance is the first book to provide a collection of key writings about the process of documenting performance, focused not on questions of liveness or the artistic qualities of documents, but rather on the professional approaches to recovering, preserving and disseminating knowledge of live performance.Through its four-part structure, the volume introduces readers to important writings by international practitioners and scholars on:* the contemporary context for documenting performance* processes of documenting performance* documenting bodies in motion* documenting to createIn each, chapters examine the ways performance is documented and the issues arising out of the process of documenting performance. While theorists have argued that performance becomes something else whenever it is documented, the writings reveal how the documents themselves cannot be regarded simply as incomplete remains from live events. The methods for preserving and managing them over time, ensuring easy access of such materials in systematic archives and collections, requires professional attention in its own right. Through the process of documenting performance, artists acquire a different perspective on their own work, audiences can recall specific images and sounds for works they have witnessed in person, and others who did not see the original work can trace the memories of particular events, or use them to gain an understanding of something that would otherwise remain unknown to them and their peers.

For decades, American cities have experimented with ways to remake themselves in response to climate change. Theseefforts, often driven by grassroots activism, offer valuable lessons for transforming the places we live. In From the GroundUp: Local Efforts to Create Resilient Cities, design expert Alison Sant focuses on the unique ways in which US cities areworking to mitigate and adapt to climate change while creating equitable and livable communities. She shows how, fromthe ground up, we are raising the bar to make cities places in which we don’t just survive, but where all citizens have theopportunity to thrive.The efforts discussed in the book demonstrate how urban experimentation and community-based development areinforming long-term solutions. Sant shows how US cities are reclaiming their streets from cars, restoring watersheds,growing forests, and adapting shorelines to improve people’s lives while addressing our changing climate. The bestexamples of this work bring together the energy of community activists, the organization of advocacy groups, the powerof city government, and the reach of federal environmental policy.Sant presents 12 case studies, drawn from research and over 90 interviews with people who are working in these communities to make a difference. For example, advocacy groups in Washington, DC are expanding the urban treecanopy and offering job training in the growing sector of urban forestry. In New York, transit agencies are working tomake streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians while shortening commutes. In San Francisco, community activists arecreating shoreline parks while addressing historic environmental injustice.From the Ground Up is a call to action. When we make the places we live more climate resilient, we need to acknowledgeand address the history of social and racial injustice. Advocates, non-profit organizations, community-based groups, andgovernment officials will find examples of how to build alliances to support and embolden this vision together. Togetherwe can build cities that will be resilient to the challenges ahead.

Franklin Furnace is a renowned New York–based arts organization whose mission is to preserve, document and present works of avant-garde art by emerging artists – particularly those whose works may be vulnerable due to institutional neglect or politically unpopular content. Over more than thirty years, Franklin Furnace has exhibited works by hundreds of avant-garde artists, some of whom – Laurie Anderson, Vito Acconci, Karen Finley, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Jenny Holzer and the Blue Man Group, to name a few – are now established names in contemporary art.Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive history of this remarkable organization from its conception to the present. Organized around the major art genres that emerged in the second half of the twentieth century, this book intersperses first-person narratives with readings by artists and scholars on issues critical to the organization's success as well as Franklin Furnace's many contributions to avant-garde art.

This reference work presents the full range of the filmmaker’s artistry (photography, painting and music) through the optic of his films. It is an original work combining all facets of his creation for the first time, bringing a fresh vision of his cinematographic work. At the heart of the book is the exhibition curator Matthieu Orléan’s unpublished interview with Gus Van Sant in Portland in June 2015, discussing the whole scope of his work and inspirations through a network of images organized into themes. The work also explores the work of other artists whose heritage Gus Van Sant believes he is continuing: heritage beat, pop, rock, and experimental filmmakers, writers and visual artists like William Burroughs, William Eggleston, Harmony Korine and Ed Ruscha. There is also critical analysis of the many themes Gus Van Sant tackles in his work related to his own personal reflections on life, accompanied by first-hand anecdotes and an in-depth appraisal of the production processes used in each movie, from the experimental shorts of the 70s to Sea of Trees, presented at the Cannes Festival in May 2015, soon to be released in cinemas. The monograph also feature essays by Stéphane Bouquet, Benjamin Thorel, Bertrand Schefer and Stefano Boni, who provide their own interpretations of his protean work. Each essay tackles specific aspects of Gus Van Sant’s creation through reflections on the heterogenous nature of his methods and approach.

It attracts the best sailors, often involved in the most prestigious international sailing circuits such as the America's Cup or the Olympics, including Loick Peyron, Lionel Pean, Bruno Trouble, Ken Read, Peter Holmberg, Cam Lewis and Terry Hutchinson, to name just a few. The fleet has grown bigger year after year, with more and more Maxis and multihulls entering the competition. These big, fast boats are often involved in the other major regattas in the Caribbean.

The book concerns a major medieval monument in an urban environment. It discusses previously overlooked material which calls into question the conventional reconstruction of the building history. Correspondingly, it offers a reappraisal of the building’s transmutations over several periods, from the Romano-Christian to the Romanesque. It examines each building phase from several viewpoints: the historical circumstances of construction, the expectations of patrons, the urban preconditions of the time, the structural issues faced by the builders, architectural design, usage, fixtures, decorations, and the significance of all for contemporary and subsequent generations.
