Death by Prison - Christopher Seeds - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Death by Prison - Christopher Seeds - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

In recent decades, life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (LWOP) has developed into a distinctive penal form in the United States, one firmly entrenched in US policy-making, judicial and prosecutorial decision-making, correctional practice, and public discourse. LWOP is now a routine practice, but how it came to be so remains in question. Fifty years ago, imprisonment of a person until death was an extraordinary punishment; today, it accounts for the sentences of an increasing number of prisoners in the United States. What explains the shifts in penal practice and social imagination by which we have become accustomed to imprisoning people until death without any reevaluation or expectation of release? Combining a wide historical lens with detailed state- and institutional-level research, Death by Prison offers a provocative new foundation for questioning this deeply problematic practice that has escaped close scrutiny for too long.

Marijuana Boom - The Rise and Fall of Colombia's First Drug Paradise - Bog af Lina Britto - Paperback

Marijuana Boom - The Rise and Fall of Colombia's First Drug Paradise - Bog af Lina Britto - Paperback

\Lina Britto's Marijuana Boom is a stunning history of transitions and dependencies, from one drug to another: coffee, pot, and cocaine. Britto synthesizes a number of scholarly approaches--including commodity and cultural studies and social, economic, and diplomatic history--to present a work far more valuable than the sum of its methods. Connecting the Andean highlands to the greater Caribbean and then outward to the United States, Marijuana Boom reveals how the seeds, so to speak, of today's..

Land Cinema in an Age of Extraction - Becca Voelcker - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Land Cinema in an Age of Extraction - Becca Voelcker - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Land Cinema in an Age of Extraction considers nonfiction filmmakers and film collectives whose work advances an understanding of land as a locus of social and environmental responsibility. Diving into little-known archives to explore films that resonate across geographies, Becca Voelcker unearths key examples of eco-political counterculture, from farmer-filmmakers in Japan and Mali to a gardener-filmmaker in Massachusetts, and from filmed landscape portraits of women in Los Angeles, Orkney, and the Navajo Nation to Indigenous documentaries about land dispossession in Colombia. Proposing the new term "land cinema" as an urgent genre for our time, this book reveals how images and ideas produced half a century ago sowed the seeds for climate justice movements today.

Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life - Janet Kraynak - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life - Janet Kraynak - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Digitization is the animating force of everyday life. Rather than defining it as a technology or a medium, Contemporary Art and the Digitization of Everyday Life argues that digitization is a socio-historical process that is contributing to the erosion of democracy and an increase in political inequality, specifically along racial, ethnic, and gender lines. Taking a historical approach, Janet Kraynak finds that the seeds of these developments are paradoxically related to the ideology of digital utopianism that emerged in the late 1960s with the rise of a social model of computing, a set of beliefs furthered by the neo-liberal tech ideology in the 1990s, and the popularization of networked computing. The result of this ongoing cultural worldview, which dovetails with the principles of progressive artistic strategies of the past, is a critical blindness in art historical discourse that ultimately compromises art’s historically important role in furthering radical democratic aims.
