Signs of Struggle by Thomas R. West Pdf

Synthesizing rhetorical and cultural theory, Signs of Struggle generates innovative approaches to current critical theories of difference, culture, gender, and race, sheds new light on multicultural issues, and suggests productive avenues for further exploration. Through a critical examination of the more cherished ideals of liberalism—governance through negotiated consensus, tolerance, and civility—West calls for the expansion of the ground rules for risky interaction that involves attention to the "emotional politics" of cultural difference. In an engaging and pointedly straightforward style, West encourages a more productive engagement with difference, rather than an approach that merely celebrates diversity.

Signs of Recognition by Webb Keane Pdf

Webb Keane argues that by looking at representations as concrete practices we may find them to be thoroughly entangled in the tensions and hazards of social existence. This book explores the performances and transactions that lie at the heart of public events in contemporary Anakalang, on the Indonesian island of Sumba. Weaving together sharply observed narrative, close analysis of poetic speech and valuable objects, and far-reaching theoretical discussion, Signs of Recognition explores the risks endemic in representational practices. An awareness of risk is embedded in the very forms of ritual speech and exchange. The possibilities for failure and slippage reveal people's mutual vulnerabilities and give words and things part of their power. Keane shows how the dilemmas posed by the effort to use and control language and objects are implicated with general problems of power, authority, and agency. He persuades us to look differently at ideas of voice and value. Integrating the analysis of words and things, this book contributes to a wide range of fields, including linguistic anthropology, cultural studies, social theory, and the studies of material culture, art, and political economy.

Collectivity in Struggle by Shaul Setter Pdf

We live in a neoliberal regime that works to dismantle social institutions and eradicate forms of collective gathering. Over and against this state of affairs, Collectivity in Struggle revisits a crucial moment in recent history when the formation of collectivity sat at the heart of a radical emancipatory struggle and called for a creative endeavor, both artistic and political. The book examines two projects developed in the 1970s vis-à-vis the Palestinian revolt: Jean-Luc Godard's cinematic engagement with the Palestinian forces and Jean Genet's textual enterprise alongside them. Through an inverse reading that uncovers from the seemingly discrete and finalized artworks - Godard's film or Genet’s book - the process of their becoming, Shaul Setter explores the ways in which these projects portray and conceptualize the revolutionary stage of the Palestinian revolt, its abrupt end, and two different modes of prolonging it. Concentrating on their formal experimentation, their potentiality for collective enunciation, their conflicted positioning on the threshold of colonial European culture and the hidden Semitic languages inscribed in them - Setter claims that these two projects insist on the writerly aspects of revolutionary political action.

The Struggle of Struggles by Vera Pigee Pdf

From 1955 to 1975, Vera Pigee (1924–2007) put her life and livelihood on the line with grassroots efforts for social change in Mississippi, principally through her years of leadership in Coahoma County’s NAACP. Known as the “Lady of Hats,” coined by NAACP executive secretary Roy Wilkins, Pigee was a businesswoman, mother, and leader. Her book, The Struggle of Struggles, offers a detailed view of the daily grind of organizing for years to open the state’s closed society. Fearless, forthright, and fashionable, Pigee also suffered for her efforts at the hands of white supremacists and those unwilling to accept strong women in leadership. She wrote herself into the histories, confronted misinformation, and self-published one of the first autobiographies from the era. Women like her worked, often without accolade or recognition, in their communities all over the country, but did not document their efforts in this way. The Struggle of Struggles, originally published in 1975, spotlights the gendered and generational tensions within the civil rights movement. It outlines the complexity, frustrations, and snubs, as well as the joy and triumphs that Pigee experienced and witnessed in the quest for a fairer and more equitable nation. This new edition begins with a detailed introductory essay by historian Françoise N. Hamlin, who interviewed Pigee and her daughter in the few years preceding their passing, as well as their coworkers and current activists. In addition to the insightful Introduction, Hamlin has also provided annotations to the original text for clarity and explanation, along with a timeline to guide a new generation of readers.

The Low Self-Esteem Struggle by Scout Addison Pdf

Can I ask you a few questions? Do you find that you focus heavily on your weaknesses or perceived flaws? Do you often unfavorably compare yourself with others? Are you anxious around other people, concerning yourself with what they think of you? Do you put your wants and needs on the back burner to please others? These traits - along with many others - are symptoms of low self-esteem. Living life feeling inadequate and unworthy and having persistent feelings of guilt is challenging. Particularly in a world that happily spoon-feeds us inadequacy, soul-crushing comparisons, and self-limiting beliefs. This can make finding your worth seem impossible. Life doesn’t have to be this way. In The Low Self-Esteem Struggle, I want to take you on a journey toward self-worth. I can’t promise it’ll be easy - nothing worth having ever is - but freeing yourself of the shackles of your mind is blissfully empowering. The journey includes: Figuring out the cause of your low self-esteem. You cannot defeat something so deep-rooted without knowing its origins. To face these traumatic demons will feel daunting - but they’re not as intimidating as enduring your whole life with a poor self-image. My lack of esteem came from childhood abuse, but there is no one set cause for low self-esteem. It could have been schoolyard bullies, a toxic relationship, a cruel boss… or all these terrible circumstances that triggered your lack of self-worth. We’ll return to the root of your trauma and build up from there. Defeating negative self-talk. When you talk poorly about yourself to yourself, you’re reaffirming these thoughts to be the truth. I’ll explain why they’re not the truth, why you shouldn’t talk badly of yourself, and how you can stop doing this. Self-deprecation - even as a joke - is a form of negative self-talk. The subconscious doesn’t have a sense of humor, so even when you’re “joking,” your mind doesn’t view it that way. I’ll help you reframe your thoughts so you can banish negative self-talk. Social comparison toxicity. I’ll cover how social comparison is an unforgiving thief of self-esteem, how to acknowledge this, and how to reframe your need for validation. When I was silently enduring the effects of low self-esteem, books were my lifeline, a glimmer of hope in my otherwise murky mind. I want this book to reach you and be the beginning of your journey to breaking free from the tight grip of low self-esteem. Don’t let low self-esteem hold you back from the life you deserve for one day longer.
