Academic literature on the topic 'Casual appropriation'

Resumen. Este artículo muestra la interdependencia del verbo y los participantes. Se ilustra la relación sistemática que existe entre la morfología propia del nombre y su capacidad de incorporación de personas en el verbo. La investigación fue realizada desde la etnociencia y la lingüística descriptiva,lo que permite hacer una valoración gramatical de la lengua pero desde la apropiación que los hablantes tienen de ella en la actualidad, por tal razón hablamos de un estudio sincrónico. El conocimiento de este campo desde la perspectiva etnocientífica aporta elementos de juicio para la apertura, discusión yconstrucción de currículos y propuestas pedagógicas cuyos contenidos temáticos incorporen la manera“propia” de ver e identificar el mundo.Abstract. This article presents the existing interdependence between verbs and participants, and also illustrates the systematic relationship between name’s typical morphology and its capability of incorporating people capacity of incorporating the category person into verbs. The research has been focused from ethnoscience and descriptive linguistics’ approaches in order to perform a grammatical appraisal ofwounan language, specifically from the perspective of current speakers’ language-appropriation; therefore, we are dealing with a synchronic study. Exploring this field from an ethnoscientific approach shall provide grounds for opening, discussing and building of curricula and teaching-proposals with thematic contents incorporating the Wounan community’s “unique” manner to perceive and identify reality

Writing about a late-fourteenth-century ballade in honour of Mathieu de Foix, Howard Mayer Brown candidly aired his uncertainty about the proper theoretical perspective from which to engage the music. ‘How should we in the twentieth century interpret this music: from the point of view of emerging tonality, as an example of polyphonic modality, or of the influence the extended system of hexachords had on compositional decisions, or should we use some other conceptual framework?’ In his catalogue of choices, Brown alludes to a variegated lot of modern approaches that range across appropriation (sometimes formal, sometimes casual) of terms from functional tonality, modal descriptions founded on octave species and finals, mappings of hexachordal areas, empirical observation of pitch emphases and tonal orientations.

Official de-Sovietization during the chaotic 1990s ushered in ‘The New’ – ostensibly, a new sociopolitical and economic order, a new business vocabulary, the new word ‘rossiiane’ for Russian citizens, the New Russians and the new genre of male fashion. Much of the new, in fact, recuperated the pre-Soviet old, including appropriation of western styles in sundry walks of life. Within male fashion, sartorial choice signalled allegiance to the ‘new’ order, financial and social status, individualism or membership in various collectives. Glossies targeting a male readership served as both primers and advertisements for men intent on forging an identity expressed in sartorial choices derived from such western modes as grunge, pop, Mafia, British rural garb and youth-eclectic ‘casual’. For better and worse, that plethora reflected the seemingly endless options for the country during the Yeltsin era.

AbstractAn unpublished satirical work, written c.1848–1854, provides fresh insight into the most famous scientific voyage of the nineteenth century. John Clunies Ross, settler of Cocos-Keeling – which HMS Beagle visited in April 1836 – felt that Robert FitzRoy and Charles Darwin had ‘depreciated’ the atoll on which he and his family had settled a decade earlier. Producing a mock ‘supplement’ to a new edition of FitzRoy's Narrative, Ross criticized their science and their casual appropriation of local knowledge. Ross's virtually unknown work is intriguing not only for its glimpse of the Beagle voyage, but also as a self-portrait of an imperial scientific reader. An experienced merchant seaman and trader–entrepreneur with decades of experience in the region, Ross had a very different perspective from that of FitzRoy or Darwin. Yet he shared many of their assumptions about the importance of natural knowledge, embracing it as part of his own imperial projects. Showing the global reach of print culture, he used editing and revision as satirical weapons, insisting on his right to participate as both reader and author in scientific debate.

Purpose This paper aims to identify, analyze and discuss a potential new business opportunity that arises from the intersection of the digital music and game industries across borders throughout network-based innovation approach. Design/methodology/approach The research draws on review of industry and academic literature, two online surveys and interviews, overall encompassed by a interpretative exploratory research methodology strategy. Findings The study supports the interest and potential for developing new products that combine digital music and casual digital games and that draw on firms from more than one region, while potentially involving a wide set of social network key stakeholders. Research limitations/implications This is an exploratory study in which findings should be challenged by confirmatory studies, including new product design and development of modeling techniques and network-based innovation approaches. This research contributes for the generation of new insights over technological and social driving forces, as well as emerging trends that shed light on the global competitiveness and on convergence of mobile gaming and digital music industries at regional innovation systems view. It also discusses spillover mechanisms based on new knowledge creation, knowledge diffusion and knowledge appropriation throughout the key stakeholders. The customer-centric innovation and network value autocorrelation hypothesis was validated, and both technology convergence and social factors are enhancement factors for innovation. Limitations and further research with larger sampling, specialization techniques and empirical modeling to in-depth analysis is suggested. Practical implications The study provides a framework for managers to develop new products that merges boundaries of related industries and encourages network-based innovation and cooperation between industry players, involving different regions. Ultimately, it shows opportunities of diversification, by introducing new products into new markets, as result of interdependence, soft factors, knowledge spillover and absorptive capacity mechanisms over a network of key stakeholders across different regions throughout customer-centric innovation, while impacting also new discussion on entrepreneurship and knowledge spillover theory and policy making. Social implications Social capital network is key for innovation and knowledge spillover among industry players. Content creation regarding products and services show high dependence on spatial external cultural influences, tastes and habits for customer-centric innovation, while impacting on social and learning customer experience, as well. Originality/value The paper has value for product development and innovation managers, researchers and practitioners. It discusses the value of innovation systems that are purposively developed beyond traditional geographic and industry boundaries.

Drawing on the empirical findings, the present study discusses how mobile media and gaming practices are integrated with young people’s everyday lives in Seoul, Korea. In particular, the present study aims to critically examine mobile gaming as a social practice, by adopting the notion of “gamification”. The study has found that users coped with urban everyday life by appropriating mobile apps and thus engaging with the gamification of mobile communication. Various mobile games have become popular add-ons on smartphones and offered casual involvement in gaming in daily moments such as commuting, waiting, and eating times. Gamified communication practices may imply that smartphone-mediated communication redefines our world as the gameful world while urban space and agency constantly engage with gameplay. However, the seemingly gameful world that may empower certain casual gamers may conceal the hegemonic process in which mobile gamers are subject to existing power relations.

The importance of historical sites containing archaeological and architectural fabrics has many physical, economic and social; they differ depending on the form and structure in different areas of the city. The historic environment of the urban content for historic buildings and heritage guides the manager to the preservation of the entities. Research shows that there is a large gap between the classroom buildings and the development process of the surrounding urban environment. By focusing on sustainable development of the historical heritage areas, it is necessary to operate a reallocation of buildings for better preservation. The study covers the following: the attempt to link the new features for creating activities of the heritage of the population of the surrounding environment, to increase the degree of attention of the living environment around the building. Factors that affect the process of maintenance, and reuse of heritage buildings in the choice of assignment. It is proposed to try to find a general concept for the development of heritage areas within the public sphere. The role of community participation as a means of awareness and the definition of ordinary citizens of the importance of the environment and heritage content. It also discusses the mapping methods to study and treat to represent the heritage buildings through reallocation as one of the important conservation measures through the example of the Casbah of Belamech. This research also presents a set of conclusions and recommendations in the form of a model with an information system on the environment (SIE) to develop the most important features in the development of heritage buildings, to ensure the sustainability of its environment.

Upon leaving his post as director of the Mariano Moreno National Library in Buenos Aires, Jorge Luis Borges appointed a clerk to package and identify the ownership of the works in his personal collection, with a number of them remaining in the institution and classified as an official donation made by the writer. This text examines the works belonging to the personal collection and listed in the Borges, libros y lecturas [Borges, books, and readings] catalogue. The complete process for identifying all of the books took place almost 40 years later, by means of the research behind the publication of Borges, libros y lecturas in 2010. The following text focuses on the care Borges took in framing his work and with his author’s legacy, even including countless jokes and enigmas meticulously woven into his biographical fiction. We depart from the idea that it would not be absurd to suppose that the collection donated by the author to the library does not so much constitute an act that was purely casual, contingent, and spontaneous, but rather a conscious move strangely planned by the author and in which he was invested. The inclusion of Latin American authors in Modernism and Romanticism and their appropriations of culturalist epistemological innovations by means of their Catholicism are examined by means of the aesthetic-expressive method, in which we outline paths to clinical observation with the observer’s participation.

Taking its point of departure in an example from Jens Peter Jacobsen’s novel Niels Lyhne (1880), where Jacobsen apparently describes the way in which tuberculosis is transmitted two years before it was demonstrated by the German physician Robert Koch, this article discusses which different knowledge positions, literary works can take. Arguing that this is a question of fundamental importance to our understanding of the work’s relationship to the surrounding world as well as of the work in itself, three responses are proposed. Firstly, one can perceive of the literary work as appropriating knowledge, which corresponds to a perception of it as an archive. This implies a retrospective analytical focus on the pre-requisites of literature to articulate knowledge. Secondly, one can perceive of the work as circulating knowledge, which corresponds to a perception of it as a medium. This response implies a synchronous analytical focus on the way in which the knowledge articulated by the work is embedded in contemporary thought collectives. Thirdly, one can perceive of the work as generating knowledge, which corresponds to an understanding of it as a speech act. This implies a prospective analysis on the very way in which the work articulates know-ledge. In this respect, literary works differ from medical works in at least three ways: it articulates knowledge in a casual manner, it articulates knowledge in the present tense, and it articulates knowledge in the form of an event that takes place to the readers.

The access to housing combined with good living conditions for low-income workers manifests itself as one of the main urban problems of contemporary times. However, access to such assets is hampered by the private ownership of urban land that excluded those who do not have sufficient cash income to access the housing commodity in the formal real estate market. Thus, a real possibility of access to such goods by such classes is included in the Minha Casa, Minha Vida (MCMV) program, which, in turn, directs public resources to private construction companies for the production of social housing. In this way, the main objective of this research is to understand how the State and private capital through the current public policy of social housing contribute to the segregation and fragmentation of low-income families, having as object of empirical analysis the Maria Amélia II located on the shores of the urban space in the city of Catalão (GO). The methodological procedures adopted in this research are based on theoretical research, with the objective of constructing a discussion about the production and reproduction of urban space in the capitalist city, discussing the issue of private ownership of urban land and housing produced through housing programs for low-income classes. Documentary research is also used to understand the production process of the residential area studied, as well as the guidelines that govern the band 1 of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida (MCMV) program. Finally, through the implementation of the field research through the application of the questionnaires with the beneficiary inhabitants, it was possible to understand some of the challenges of appropriating this new space created by the State and directed to the less favored workers. From the present research, it is possible to glimpse the reinforcement of the phenomenon of socio-spatial segregation in the urban scenario of the city of Catalão, since the MCMV program consolidates the suburb of the cities, such as low-income housing classes. Therefore, it is noted that the role that the program plays for these families goes beyond access to housing, also influencing, ideologically and in the sense of realization due to access to housing where the challenges of appropriation of space are sometimes overlapped by the fact of acquiring the 'own house'.
O acesso à moradia aliado a boas condições de vida, para os trabalhadores de menor renda manifesta-se como um dos principais problemas urbanos da contemporaneidade. Entretanto, o acesso a tal bem é dificultado em decorrência da propriedade privada da terra urbana que excluí aqueles que não possuem renda monetária suficiente para acessar a mercadoria habitação no mercado imobiliário formal. Com isto, uma possibilidade real de acesso a tal bem por parte de tais classes, figura no programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida (MCMV) que, por sua vez, direciona recursos públicos à empresas privadas de construção civil para a produção de habitação de interesse social. Nesse caminhar, a presente pesquisa tem por objetivo principal compreender como o Estado e o capital privado através da atual política pública de habitação social, contribuem na segregação e fragmentação das famílias de baixa renda, tendo como objeto empírico de análise, o residencial Maria Amélia II localizado nas ‘franjas’ do espaço urbano na cidade de Catalão (GO). Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados na realização da presente pesquisa, baseiam-se na pesquisa teórica, visando a construção de uma discussão acerca da produção e reprodução do espaço urbano na cidade capitalista, discutindo a questão da propriedade privada da terra urbana e a moradia produzida através de programas habitacionais para as classes de baixa renda. Utiliza-se ainda de pesquisa documental com vistas a entender o processo de produção do residencial ora em estudo, bem como as diretrizes que regem a Faixa 1 de financiamento do programa MCMV. Por fim, com a realização da pesquisa de campo através da aplicação dos questionários com os moradores beneficiários, foi possível entender um pouco dos desafios de apropriação desse novo espaço criado pelo Estado e direcionado aos trabalhadores menos abastados. A partir da presente pesquisa, é possível vislumbrar o reforço do fenômeno da segregação socioespacial no cenário urbano da cidade de Catalão haja que vista que o programa MCMV consolida a periferia das cidades, como o local de moradias das classes de menor renda. Portanto, nota-se que o papel que o programa desempenha para tais famílias vai além do acesso à moradia, influenciando também, no aspecto ideológico e no sentimento de realização devido o acesso à mercadoria habitação onde os desafios de apropriação do espaço são, por vezes, sobrepostos pelo fato de aquisição da ‘casa própria’.

In the early twenty-first century, the Punjab region’s traditional drummers, dholis, were experiencing “the toughest time ever.” Concurrently, their instrument, the iconic barrel-drum dhol, was experiencing unprecedented global popularity. This book uncovers why, notwithstanding the emblematic status of dhol for Punjabis, the dholis’ local communities are facing existential crisis. The pursuit of a national identity—which aids in political representation and maintaining historical consciousness during change—has led modern Punjabis to make particular economic, social, and artistic choices. A casualty of this pursuit has been the disenfranchisement of dholis, who do not find representation despite the symbolic import of dhol to that national identity. Through the example of dhol’s subtle appropriation, the book argues that the empowerment gained by bolstering Punjabi identity in the global arena works at the expense of people on Punjabi society’s margins. At its core are the hereditary-professional drummers who, while members of society’s low-status “outcaste” population, created and maintained dhol traditions over centuries. Exacerbated by a cultural nationalist discourse that downplays ethnic diversity, their subaltern ethnic identities have been rendered invisible. Recognizing their diverse ethnic affiliations, however, is only the first step towards hearing hitherto absent perspectives of individual musicians. As a work of advocacy, this book draws on two decades of ethnography of Indian, Pakistani, and diasporic Punjabi drummers to center their experiences in the story of modern Punjab.

Chapter 3 employs the frescoes from the garden triclinium of the Casa dell’Efebo, Pompeii, as a case study in the recontextualization of Nilotic scenes. Exploring the relationships between the various features, images, and artifacts within this eclectic garden assemblage, this chapter embeds Roman Nilescapes within broader phenomena of domestic cosmopolitanism. By evoking diverse landscapes both near and far away, and emulating earlier visual cultures, householders could turn their houses into models of empire and assert their own credentials as worldly cultural sophisticates. The appropriation and adaptation of Egyptian imagery is thus deeply intertwined with Roman appropriations and adaptations of other visual cultures. As model landscapes existing simultaneously within and beyond domestic space, gardens were appropriate places to depict other landscapes along the spectrum from foreign to familiar. In such contexts, the “meaning” of Egyptian landscapes may depend in large part on the ways these images interact with domestic evocations of other, “Greco-Roman” geographical and cultural settings.

Recently, scholarly criticism has acknowledged the presence of the Gothic in Latin America, which should be distinguished from magic realism and the fantastic. Latin American Gothic evinces regional, tropicalised and hybridised nuances that not only adapt the mode to specific cultural and regional anxieties, but also have helped coin terms such as ‘Tropical Gothic’. On the other hand, Guillermo delToro’s popularity has brought attention to Latin American Gothic horror in twenty-first-century visual media and how it address issues of identity, folklore and haunting. This chapter analyses the appropriation of Gothic motifs in the films Somos lo que hay (We are What We Are, 2010), La casa muda(The Silent House, 2010) and Juan de losmuertos(Juan of the Dead, 2011). It explores Tropical Gothic, medicine and faith in the TV series Niño santo (2011–14) and reviews the #CharlieCharlieChallenge trending topic on social media as an everyday Gothic experience.

Com o Direito à Cidade, o filósofo francês Henri Lefebvre abriu em 1968 novas fronteiras para a compreensão do mundo moderno e das cidades, inspirando movimentos sociais urbanos e permitindo a sua articulação sob uma mesma bandeira. Contudo, com frequência se faz uma interpretação limitada do Direito à Cidade, entendendo-o como uma ampliação da provisão de habitação social, serviços básicos e transporte. O Direito à Cidade na filosofia de Lefebvre transcende a materialidade destes bens e serviços, ao incluir aspetos como iniciativa, liberdade e plasticidade do espaço, necessários para a apropriação das condições da nossa existência (Lefebvre, 2008, p. 26). De forma paradoxal, uma parte importante da produção de moradia no Brasil acontece em condições de informalidade e risco, porem adotando caraterísticas da proposta lefebvriana. Neste artigo, se faz uma análise da literatura contemporânea sobre este conceito em relação ao setor de habitação social. Posteriormente, se avalia o Plano Nacional de Habitação de 2009, a política por trás do Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida, a través dos parâmetros que melhor definem o Direito à Cidade: a participação e a apropriação. With the Right to the City, the French philosopher Henri Lefebvre opened in 1968 new fronteers for the understanding of the modern world and of cities, inspiring urban social movements and facilitating their articulation under the same flag. However, limited interpretations of the Right to the City are frequent, understanding it as an extension in the provision of social housing, basic services and transport. The Right to the City in Lefebvre’s philosophy transcends the materiality of these goods and services, as it includes aspects such as initiative, freedom and spatial plasticity, needed for the appropriation of the conditions of our existence (Lefebvre, 2008, p. 26). In this article, I present an analysis of contemporary literature about this concept in relation to the social housing sector. Following, I evaluate the National Housing Plan (2009), the policy behind the Programme My House, My Life, through two parameters that best define the Right to the City: participation and appropriation.
