Galvanizing Nostalgia? - Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Galvanizing Nostalgia? - Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Galvanizing Nostalgia? explores critical questions for the survival of Russia in its nominally federal form. Will Russia fall apart along the lines of its internal republics, as did the Soviet Union? Based on cultural anthropology field and historical research in major republics of Eastern Siberia—Sakha (Yakutia), Buryatia, and Tyva (Tuva)—this book highlights Indigenous concerns about self-determination. Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer suggests that a fragile and disorganized dynamic of nested sovereignties has developed within Russia. Ecology activism has grown, given new threats to the environment and accelerating climate challenges, especially in the Arctic. Focus on strategically chosen republics enables comparing and contrasting interethnic relations, language politics, and the salience of gender, demography, resource competition, environmental degradation, and increased spirituality. Republics vary in their neocolonial relationships to Moscow authorities. Some local leaders, such as a politicized shaman, use nostalgia for cultural achievements to galvanize citizens. Since the Soviet Union collapsed, cultural and political revitalization have been relatively more viable, although still difficult, in areas where Siberians have their own republics.

Religion and Politics in Russia: A Reader - Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Religion and Politics in Russia: A Reader - Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Russia is not only vast, it is also culturally diverse, the core of an empire that spanned Eurasia. In addition to the majority Russian Orthodox and various other Christian groups, the Russian Federation includes large communities of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and members of other religious groups, some with ancient historical roots. All are in a state of ferment, and securing formal state recognition for specific communities is often daunting. This collection provides entry into the diversity of Russia''s religious communities. Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer''s introduction to the volume illuminates major political, social, and cultural-anthropological trends. The book is organized by religious tradition or identity, with further thematic perspectives on each set of readings. The authors include ethnologists, sociologists, political analysts, and religious leaders from many regions of the Federation. They analyze the changing dynamics of religion and politics within each community and in the context of the current drive to recentralize both political and religious authority in Moscow. Topical coverage extends from reassertions of Russian Orthodoxy to activities of Christian and Muslim missionaries to the revival of many other religions, including indigenous shamanic ones.

Shamanic Worlds - Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Shamanic Worlds - Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The ancient heartland of shamanism is no longer forbidden territory - to travelers or to the spirits. But the spirits never left the vastnesses of Siberia and Central Asia, as these writings reveal. Russian and native experts, and an American cultural anthropologist who has done fieldwork in the region, introduce us to shamans as the poets, therapists, healers, and even leaders of their communities. Among the special features of this collection are remarkable transcriptions of shamanic exhortations and a pathbreaking study of shamanic tales and rituals.

Lean Higher Education - William K. Balzer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Lean Higher Education - William K. Balzer - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

In an environment of diminishing resources, growing enrollment, and increasing expectations of accountability, Lean Higher Education: Increasing the Value and Performance of University Processes, Second Edition provides the understanding and the tools required to return education to the consumers it was designed to serve – the students. It supplies a unifying framework for implementing and sustaining a Lean Higher Education (LHE) transformation at any institution, regardless of size or mission. Using straightforward language, relevant examples, and step-by-step guidelines for introducing Lean interventions, this authoritative resource explains how to involve stakeholders in the delivery of quality every step of the way. The author details a flexible series of steps to help ensure stakeholders understand all critical work processes. He presents a wealth of empirical evidence that highlights successful applications of Lean concepts at major universities and provides proven methods for uncovering and eliminating activities that overburden staff yet contribute little or no added value to stakeholders. Complete with standardized methods for correctly diagnosing workplace problems and implementing appropriate solutions, this valuable reference arms you with the understanding and the tools to effectively balance the needs of all stakeholders. By implementing the Lean practices covered in these pages, your school will be better positioned to provide higher quality education, at reduced costs, with efficient processes that instill pride, maximize value, and respect the long-term interests of your students, faculty, and staff. This second edition contains a substantial update with expanded material and reflects the significant growth of LHE practices in colleges and universities worldwide. Because of advances in best practices, as well as some modest research-based evidence, this second edition includes many enhancements that provide particular value to LHE practitioners and higher education (HE) leaders. Since the initial publication of Lean Higher Education in 2010, the challenges of cost and affordability, competition for students and faculty, and calls for efficiency and accountability have only continued to grow, requiring colleges and universities to pursue more radical and transformative change to ensure their success. This new edition provides a model for change based on more than 50 years of application in business and industry and almost 20 years in HE. It provides the information and evidence demanded by HE leadership to understand and embrace LHE as well as best practices processes and tools for implementing LHE in targeted areas or institution-wide. This book provides a conceptual framework for redesigning any university process, such as admitting students, paying a bill, hiring faculty, or processing a donor gift, in a way that delights the beneficiary of that process, respects the employees who support the process, and reduce the cost of the process. A free companion guide to this book is available here: https://cabaa139-7c62-47ae-af03-e18f51efab1c.filesusr.com/ugd/f5359d_a064ca39f666408f851ffd282eb9a0a7.pdf The goal of this companion guide is to help you get the most out of your reading of Lean Higher Education. The guide is designed to support your deeper understanding and application of LHE whether you are reading the book (a) from cover to cover or select chapters; (b) reading it alone, as a member of a workplace reading group, or as a student in a classroom; (c) facilitating discussions of the chapters in the book; or (d) seeking guidance as you begin your own personal Lean Higher Education journey.

Te Maldigo con Alegra - Tiffany Haddish - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

Te Maldigo con Alegra - Tiffany Haddish - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

Tiffany Haddish está de regreso con su nueva y muy esperada colección de ensayos, Te Maldigo con Alegría . La última vez que los lectores se sentaron con Tiffany Haddish fue con su exitoso debut El Ultimo Unicornio Negro . Desde entonces, se catapultó a la fama como estrella de Girls Trip. Desfiló por la alfombra roja de los Oscar, estrenó exitosas comedias en Showtime y Netflix y pasó a la historia como la primera comediante negra en presentar Saturday Night Live y Shark Week. Pero no todo ha sido una fiesta. En estos ensayos humorísticos y sentidos, Tiffany se enfrenta a los altibajos de la vida. Hubo una época en la que Tiffany no sabía del todo quién era Tiffany. Antes de descubrir su propio estilo, se presentaba en el escenario vestida como sus compañeras de trabajo en la aerolínea para contar insípidos chistes de pitos. Se hundió. Fue necesario un pene falso, la ayuda de algunos amigos y un poco de apoyo de Bob Saget para que Tiffany descubriera quién era Tiffany. En este libro, Tiffany se enfrenta a sus traumas de infancia, a los desafíos de ser mujer negra en la industria del entretenimiento y a su agridulce reencuentro con su padre después de casi veinte años. Te Maldigo con Alegría es Tiffany Haddish sin filtros, invitando al lector a su intimidad, donde la alegría, la honestidad, el amor y el corazón están a la orden del día. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Tiffany Haddish is back with her highly anticipated new essay collection, I Curse You With Joy . It''s been a minute. Readers last sat down with Tiffany in her bestselling debut The Last Black Unicorn . Since then, Haddish has catapulted to A-list fame as the breakout start of Girls Trip . She''s walked the Oscars red carpet, released a hit stand-up special with Netflix, and made history as the first Black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live and Shark Week. But it hasn''t been all VIP parties and free diving with apex predators. In these humorous and heartfelt essays, Tiffany gets real about the highs and lows of life. Believe it or not, there was a time when Tiffany didn''t totally know who Tiffany was. Before she found her groove, she was on stage dressed like her snobby airline coworkers telling halfhearted dick jokes. She tanked. It took a fake penis, some help from friends, and a little encouragement from Bob Saget, but eventually Tiffany figured out Tiffany. I Curse You With Joy celebrates all the lessons she learned along the way--the joy and the pain. Tiffany reckons with the legacy of her childhood trauma, the challenges of being a Black woman in the entertainment industry, and her bittersweet reunion with her estranged father after twenty years apart. Don''t worry, she''s got plenty of advice to share, too. I Curse You With Joy is Tiffany Haddish unfiltered. (We know what you''re thinking...how much more unfiltered can she get?) These essays lay it all bare, bringing readers into Tiffany''s inner circle where joy, honesty, humor, and heart are the order of the day.

The Information Front - Timothy Balzer - Bog - University of British Columbia Press - Plusbog.dk

The Information Front - Timothy Balzer - Bog - University of British Columbia Press - Plusbog.dk

In wartime, it is not only success on the battlefield that determines victory. Winning hearts and minds is a vital part of military strategy and relies in large part on the effective management of how and what information is reported from the front. This illuminating study explores how the Canadian military developed and relied on public relations units to manage news during the Second World War. The soldiers assigned to these units, mainly former journalists, were responsible for censoring information, supervising and assisting war correspondents, coordinating policy with the Allies, and ensuring the steady flow of news to Canada. Using public relations case studies from Dieppe, the Sicilian campaign, and Normandy that reveal clashes among individual commanders and politicians, the press, the military, the government, and the Canadian public, The Information Front offers a balanced and intelligent discussion of how the military used censorship and propaganda to rally support for the war effort.
