Abstract:

With its central image of the old masturbator in the Berlin “underground” restroom, Khodasevich's poem “Under the Ground” (1923) both shocked and fascinated its readers. Khodasevich's intervention into two taboo themes in turn-of-the-century European culture—masturbation and public restrooms—is primarily self-reflexive, indicating his anxieties about the ambiguous place and status of a modernist poet and exploring the norms of poetic representation. The essay proposes to read “Under the Ground” as a site of contested and mutually commenting meanings among concerns about taboo sites of urban modernity, a self-reflexive vision of autoerotism, and aesthetic modernism with an emphasis on the shock effect. In analyzing Khodasevich's radicalization of his modernist poetics through the re-appropriation of these taboo themes, I also examine how current theorizations in the developing subfields of sexuality and urban studies that deal with masturbation and restrooms can contribute to the ongoing research on modernist authorship as understood through the figure of the poet-flâneur.

Abstract:

Abstract Virginia Woolf and Karel Čapek produced direct responses to the British Empire Exhibition in the forms of – in Woolf’s case – a scathing essay entitled ‘Thunder at Wembley’ and – in Čapek’s case – a (P)OstModernist travelogue later published as part of ‘Letters from England’ translated into English in 1925 and banned by the Nazis as well as the Communists. This research paper juxtaposes modernity in Central Europe with its ‘Other’ – that in Western Europe – by exploring Woolf and Čapek’s durée réelle between 1910 and 1924. It offers an analysis of Karel Čapek’s (P)OstModern legacies, placing Prague right on the modernist centre stage. The socio-political contribution of Central European regional modernism in Čapek’s work is increasingly vital to the contemporary Europe of Brexit and refugee and migrant crises, and beyond.

Abstract:

This study examines the parallels between Muhammadiyah, the oldest and largest modernist Islamic movement in Indonesia, and Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’a Wa Ikamatus Sunnah, also known as Izala, the most significant Islamic reformist movement in West Africa, which originated in northern Nigeria. Concurrently, these groups share a common focus on socio-religious reform and a commitment to puritan Islam. It is undeniable that various Islamic movements/groups have existed and continue to exist outside the Arab world, but relatively few studies have focused on Islamic groups operating in West Africa or Southeast Asia, for example. This study highlights the importance of examining Islamic movements in regions beyond the Arab world, particularly in West Africa and Southeast Asia. The large Muslim populations in Indonesia and Nigeria offer a rich context for exploring the dynamics of Islamic movements. The research reveals, despite the groups’ Salafi-inspired ideologies, they mediate socio-religious reform, indicating the modernising rather than conservative aspects of Indonesian and Nigerian Islam. Within their respective contexts, these groups represent forms of reconstructed alternative modernity, or distinctly Islamic interpretations of modernity, which they define through executing their reform activities within Islamic frameworks. They navigate the complexities of modernity by balancing adherence to traditional values with adaptation to contemporary developments. Notably, the study is driven by a belief that comparative studies across different Salafi-inspired groups in distinct contexts could provide broader understanding of the evolving relationship between Salafism and modernity.

Abstract:

This essay introduces this special issue of Nova Religio by examining the main varieties of jihad and the main varieties of Islamism, and also by exploring the overlap between scholarship on terrorism and scholarship on NRMs. Three unusual varieties of jihad are identified, all of which are relatively modern: anti-colonial jihad, pacifist jihad, and Islamist jihad. All three are explored further by other articles in this issue. This essay also argues that the internal dynamics of the Islamist terrorist cell have much in common with the internal dynamics of the sectarian NRM, and that understanding this helps to explain both the moral and the strategic/operational decisions made by Islamist terrorists.

Full text

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.
This dissertation is an interdisciplinary study of the Rex Trueform garment manufacturing factory in Salt River, Cape Town. It follows the narrative of the site from the date of completion of the first factory in 1938 up until conversion of the site into an office park in 2013. Architecturally, the buildings are key works by pioneer modernist architects, Policansky, Andrews and Niegeman . The analysis of the form and the space of the buildings is interlocked with an analysis of the conditions with in which these distinct buildings were conceived and built. As 20th century industrial buildings in Cape Town, they are representative of a particular kind of modernity, one that is entangled with constructions of race, class and gender. The dissertation looks at how particular notions of race, class and gender were constructed, materialised and inscribed in the architectural form and space. The buildings are a primary archival source, but conversational interviews with ex-workers begin to give a glimpse of what it was like to work for Rex Trueform, considered as a significant company in the clothing manufacturing industry. Visual material, drawings and film footage, tracks the architectural development of the site, linking it with key moments in the political life of South Africa. This raises questions around the relations hip between the apartheid state - endorsed white capital and disenfranchised black labour. Race and identity is a key theme, questioning the role that industry, sociology and apartheid played in the constructions and stabilising thereof with the Cape factory as a primary site. The buildings, situated both in the historical time as well as in the contemporary postapartheid framework, offer multiple readings of how space and architecture contributed towards ascribing identities onto people and how these ascribed identities were and are being contested and disrupted. The dissertation thus raises questions of how the modern city of Cape Town was produced by looking at some of the socio-political conditions under which Rex Trueform, a major industrial site, was developed.

Abstract:

Sex tourism is one of the world's most controversial industries. While it generates tremendous revenue to the sex tourism destinations, the industry has been condemned as the two main reasons trafficking of women and children exist. Despite this, little research has examined the motivation of sex tourists. The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of the sex tourism phenomenon and, more specifically, motivation of tourists. This study is exploratory and qualitative in nature. Two key propositions are addressed (1) The person's level of perceived modernity relates to the perceived level of personal needs; and (2) The person's level of perceived personal needs relates to the person's desire of travel for sexual participation. A mixture of qualitative methods was utilized. The data was collected using semi-structured personal interviews with thirty-three male sex tourists who traveled to Pattaya, Thailand in 2005. The transcribed data was constantly compared and the interviews revealed four substantial themes with eight subsequent categories. It was discovered that sex tourists were pushed by two main motivational drives: physical and psychological needs which came together as personal needs. Physical needs consisted of "physical problems" and "unmet sexual needs." The psychological problems included "hedonistic drive" and "modernity." The physical gains (tangible attributes) and psychological gains (sense of belonging, freedom and excitement, and power reestablishment) attracted sex tourists to the sex tourism destinations. Therefore, modernity, one of three constructs in this study, was also supported as an important factor which indirectly affected the motivation of the sex tourists. The last chapter presents the study contribution, implementation, and suggestions for future research. For knowledge contribution to the academic field, this present study reinforces the reliability of Iso-Ahola's (1982) escaping-seeking motivation model. It provides both academic and tourism practitioners a better idea of what sex tourist motivational factors are. The knowledge of sex tourist motivation can assist tourism practitioners at the sex tourism destinations to improve positioning their destinations in the world tourism market. For the tourism academics, this study offers an exploratory ground for future research to build on both qualitatively and quantitatively in order to form a more rigorous sex tourist motivation model.

Abstract:

My PhD thesis explores Iranian urban daily life by analysing Iranian cinema. Many scholars from different perspectives have focused on Iranian society in various political, social and cultural fields, although less attention is still being paid to Iranian daily life from the perspective of critical studies of everyday life. Moreover, many scholars have investigated Iranian films from macro- and micro-perspectives. Macro-sociological approaches have focused on the social, political and historical structures of Iranian cinema. These research are done in the field of sociology of cinema. Micro-sociological methods have analysed the representation of different features of everyday life, such as gender representation or consumption, but not daily life. These research are done in the field of sociology of film. However, to achieve a comprehensive understanding of any social phenomenon we have to make a connection between micro-sociology and macro-sociology. By problematising the concept of everyday life, this research tries to keep its distance from the dualism noted above and outlines Iranian urban daily life. Therefore, the thesis constructs an applicable theoretical framework to explore Iranian everyday life by a local approach. Through a new methodological approach, the thesis connects the sociology of cinema and sociology of film in order to make a connection between everyday life and its representation in films. The theoretical framework consists of the work of various critical theorists of everyday life (for example, Lefebvre and Simmel) which enables me to recognise the outline of everyday life and analyse power relations in daily life. By a Foucauldian approach I read the theories to conceptualise Iranian daily life. Moreover, I connect the theory of everyday life to Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis. I answer the research questions by using the following fourteen key signifiers: FilmFarsi, Sacred Defense Cinema, Value-based Cinema, Big Production Films, New-wave, Social Films, Children’s films, Entertaining Movies, Festival Cinema, Poetic Cinema, Underground Cinema, Accented Cinema, Independent Cinema, and Art and Experimental Films. The first research question focuses on the discursive context of cinema and everyday life. Describing the discursive structures of Iranian cinema in different periods enables an in-depth understanding of the role of cinema both as a modern social institution and as culture industry. The second research question focuses on ‘subject positions’ and the processes of representation of everyday life in Iranian films. The third question relates to the connections between daily experiences, subject positions, and the social structures located within discourses which shape daily life. This question explains the problematic Iranian urban daily life in terms of uncertainty and precariousness. By highlighting the importance of contextuality in everyday life studies, the thesis concludes with methodological suggestions for further research on everyday life and cinema.

Abstract:

Sexual health education is taking new innovative directions in establishing pedagogical partnerships between schools and community-based sexualities educators. Evaluations of The Sense Project, a community-based sexual health program in Montreal, demonstrate that youth respond enthusiastically to these initiatives. The partnerships, however, must navigate through the same epistemological and cultural tensions occurring everywhere as we collectively re-define knowing about questions of the body, sexualities, gender and youth. In the first phase of this study, former students of sex education reflect on their sexual health learning experiences. The study identified the content and pedagogies that supported or interfered with meaningful learning. Building on those insights, interviews with several teachers and community-based educators articulate what they see as the possible barriers and potential benefits of forming sexual health teaching partnerships. Implications for both groups of communities of practice are explored through the rich data emerging from their interviews. The findings of this study suggest that the pedagogical practices developed by this community agency offer an excellent resource for teachers and students of sexual health, and a model for other community educators. Recommendations are made to teacher education institutions regarding the theoretical, reflexive and praxis components that would support pre-service training in sexualities pedagogy. Finally, based on the model offered by the community-based educators, the thesis presents fifteen principles essential to the development and implementation of good sexual health pedagogy.
L'éducation à la sexualité prend un tournant innovateur en forgeant des partenariats entre les écoles et des organismes communautaires. Les évaluations du Projet Sens, un programme issue d'un organisme communautaire situé à Montréal, indiquent que les jeunes répondent avec enthousiasme à cette initiative. Ces partenariats, cependant, doivent naviguer a travers les mêmes tensions epistemologiques et culturelles se produisant partout alors que nous redéfinissons collectivement les savoirs entourant le corps, les sexualités, et l'identité des jeunes. Dans la première phase de cette étude, des étudiants ayant prit des cours d'éducation a la sexualité réfléchissent sur leurs expériences. L'étude identifie le contenu et les démarches pédagogues qui ont soutenu et ceux qui ont interféré un apprentissage significatif. En ce basant sur les résultats des cette première phase, des entrevues avec des enseignants et des éducateurs communautaire servent a identifier les barrières possibles et les avantages potentiels de former ces partenariats. Des implications pour les deux groupes sont explorées via les données riches émergeant des entrevues. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que les pratiques pédagogiques développées par cet organisme communautaire offrent une excellente ressource pour les enseignants et les étudiants et propose des pistes riches pour d'autres organismes communautaires. Des recommandations sont faites pour les programmes de formation des maîtres concernant les aspects théoriques, pratiques et réflexifs de cette formation. En conclusion, la thèse présente quinze principes essentiels au développement d'une approche pédagogique substantif.

Abstract:

The general concept of communication for development is that it explores the use of communication – both as a tool and as a way of expressing processes of social change. Artcan be regarded as a way of communication, and to use the arts in the field of communication for development is not new. Art as a force in social change has a long history.The purpose of this thesis is to take a closer look at the art project To Reveal, Remember and Expose and make an exploration of how or if an art project can facilitate new awareness,primarily around memories, heritage, identity and social change among project participantsand city inhabitants encountered by the project. The objectives of this thesis are to investigate the following questions: What kind of awareness will the participants get out of the project? Can the project create a new awareness in terms of memory and heritage? How does the project connect and relate to culture, identity and city space?Communication theory, concepts of culture and representation, identity and space in the formof private and public space are presented. Performance art and theory, art intervention, sitespecific art and tactical media are elaborated upon. The primary methodology used isparticipatory observation, which has been applied on the planning, actions and discussions ofthe project. An interview with the artist behind the project and a structural content analysis oftexts written by the students that participated in the art project will complement theparticipatory observation.The analysis of the project showed that the project could create awareness among itsparticipants, especially about people, time and space. The actions also gave some insight and awareness concerning memories and heritage of some objects and places. The projectconnected and related to culture, identity and space in different ways. There were similaritiesto tactical media as it create situations were criticality could occur, but it was hard to see awhole picture of the outcome as it was not possible to know what the “audience” thought. Alltopics are relevant in communication and development and social change, but the thesis wasnot able to show that the project could give access to ways of expressing processes of socialchange. For further research it is of relevance to consider the magnitude of social change anart project can bring, and take into consideration that social change usually take time and ishard to find in a short period of time.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the artistic achievement of the twentieth-century Chinese painter Fu Baoshi 傅抱石 (1904-1965) through his envisioning of a national identity and visual modernity in his academic work and painting during the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). The focus of this thesis is an analysis of a body of his landscape and figure paintings as well as the art historical writings which he produced in Chongqing during the war. The importance of these works is assessed through an analysis of Fu Baoshi’s early life in Nanchang (1904-1932) and his studies in Japan (1932-1935) which projected a formative influence on his artistic and intellectual development in Chongqing. Fu Baoshi‘s participation in cultural exchanges with Chinese artists and foreign figures in the revitalised artistic community in the war capital Chongqing played a significant role in his artistic evolution and the growth of his reputation in art circles in modern China. His pursuit of a new ideal form of artistic expression through models from the past is epitomised in his figure painting. His Sichuan landscape represents his consummate atmospheric approach which is associated with the wet climate and his structural approach using his innovative brush work known as Baoshi cun 抱石皴.

Vallowe, Megan. "Exploring Identity: Rural to Urban Migration in Modernist American Fiction." OpenSIUC, 2013. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/1171.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis discusses the effects, primarily on a person’s identity, caused by rural to urban migration during the 1920s and 1930s through investigating the migrations of four literary characters—Quentin Compson, George Webber, Jefferson Abbott, and Prudence Bly—developed by three American Modernist—William Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, and Dawn Powell. I first explore the population trends and movements of Americans out of rural areas to urban ones. In doing so, various sociological theories and historical events are referenced in order to better provide evidence for the reasons for this type of migration, and more importantly, in concern with this study, to illustrate common effects due to rural to urban migration that are explored in depth in subsequent chapters through the examination of the aforementioned characters. Even though the migration of people out of rural areas for more urban centers has occurred ever since the division of those two communities, the interwar years in American society is a key period to consider because of the great social and economic changes that occurred during those two decades. Additionally, it is in this era that we first see clear signs that the United States was transitioning to an urban dominated society. Each of the four characters focused on in this work undergo a rural to urban migration during their young adult years. Because each character experiences this migration in a different way, the severity of the effects of his or her migration changes too. Three of the four characters—Quentin, George, and Prudence—must cope with an identity crisis that is brought to the forefront by their rural to urban migration. Quentin experiences feelings of guilt over his opportunities versus that of his brothers. More importantly, he is unable to rectify the conflict between his perceived identity and the identity placed upon him by the urban community to which he migrates, thus influencing his suicide. George is unable to see the extreme influence that the nostalgic view of his hometown has on the way he perceives the rest of the world. Therefore, he is also unable to recognize the power of time and the inevitability of change. Each time he is forced to see the falseness of his nostalgia, a crucial portion of his identity is dismantled, throwing him into a deep depression. Prudence—due to the arrival of Jefferson, a hometown sweetheart—is forced to reconcile the rural identity she has tried for a decade to forget and the urban one she spent a decade creating. Only at the end of the novel, does she realize that her identity is actually a compilation of both her rural and urban parts. The fourth character—Jefferson Abbott—is relatively unaffected by his migration, in large part due to the stability and confidence he has in his own identity.

Abstract:

This book offers a fresh perspective on the history of Germany by investigating the origins and impact of the ‘communications revolution’ that transformed state and society during the nineteenth century. It focuses upon the period 1830–80, exploring the interactions between the many different actors who developed, administered, and used one of the most important technologies of the period—the electric telegraph. Drawing upon evidence from Prussia, Bavaria, Bremen, and a number of towns across Central Europe, it reveals the channels through which knowledge circulated across the region, stimulating both collaboration and confrontation between the scientists, technicians, businessmen, and bureaucrats involved in bringing the telegraph to life. It highlights the technology’s impact upon the conduct of trade, finance, news distribution, and government in the tumultuous decades that witnessed the 1848 revolutions, the wars of unification, and the establishment of the Kaiserreich in 1871. Following the telegraph lines themselves, it weaves together the changes which took place at a local, regional, national, and eventually global level, revisiting the technology’s impact upon concepts of space and time, and highlighting the importance of this period in laying the foundations for Germany’s experience of a profoundly ambiguous, networked modernity.

Abstract:

Women Making Modernism stands as a corrective to the consistent tension between feminist studies and modernist studies. Despite waves of feminism in the academy, feminism remains ancillary even in the expanded arena of new modernist studies. This volume makes the case for feminism’s necessity in modernist studies, arguing that without an integrated feminist approach our modernism is irresponsible at best and dishonest at worst. And the contributors included here take as their cue the renewed fervor around feminist inquiry in literary studies in the academy—exemplified by the new feminist literary studies journal, Feminist Modernist Studies (FMS), launched in 2018—and beyond. Collectively we assert the value of amplifying the reality of women’s contributions to modernism by exploring a myriad of women writers through a diverse set of approaches. Along the way, many of our authors engage in self-reflection, taking into account their personal histories, social locations, and anxieties, thus bridging the arbitrary division, long enforced by patriarchal postures of intellectualism, between the academic and affective self.

Full text

Abstract:

This book is about religion and modernity, how religion interacts with modern culture, and how modernity influences religion. “Modernity” signifies not only technological developments, but also the dynamics of capitalism, the differentiation of social functions, specialization of spheres of knowledge, and expansion of human rights. By religion is meant the cultural practices people use to connect with a suprahuman power that they experience as influencing their lives. The thesis presented is that in Latin America there is an interaction between modernity and religion, but the result has not been religion’s diminishment (secularization), but its transformation. Exploring religion as ordinary Latin Americans practice it, the research presented in this book discovered that there is more religion than secularists expect, but of a different kind than religious leaders would wish. The difficulty in assessing religiosity as it exists in Latin America is due in part to the continuing use of categories that were not designed for religious cultures outside the North Atlantic world. Those categories point us toward a different kind of dynamics, which in fact obscure Latin American religious dynamics. If we look at religion from the perspective of Latin America and of the people who practice it there, we will find a different definition and different conceptual tools for understanding the religious experience of Latin American people, and these new tools help us to look at religion in a different way.

Abstract:

Wineries and their managers today are increasingly demonstrating the critical role of ambidextrous leadership in balancing the maintenance of traditional winemaking methods with advancement towards green transitions. This form of leadership, which involves both exploiting existing capabilities and exploring new opportunities, is essential in navigating the complexities of modern winemaking. Ambidextrous leaders in family-run wineries excel not only in preserving the rich heritage of winemaking but also in embracing ecological innovation and sustainability. The dual capability extends to aligning the goals of the family and the business. Ambidextrous leaders skilfully manage family relationships, values and objectives while ensuring that these align with the business’ growth, innovation, and environmental stewardship goals. By doing so, they create a harmonious blend of family unity and business success. This approach allows wineries to integrate respect for traditional winemaking with a commitment to environmental protection, signifying a progressive industry that honours its past while contributing positively to the future. Ambidextrous leadership in wineries thus emerges as a key factor in achieving a sustainable and successful balance between tradition and modernity, family values and business goals and environmental consciousness and industry progress.

Abstract:

The paper focuses on the interlacement of literary and iconographic elements by displaying an innovatory philological and stylistic approach, from a comparative perspective, in thematizing multilingual translational and adaptive aspects, ranging across Bernard Berenson's diaristic and epistolary corpus, in conjunction with his works on Italian visual culture. This interweaving gives occasion to the elaboration of multilinguistic textual influences and their verbo-visual artistic representations deduced from his innovative interpretative readings in the domain of world literature in modern times. Such analysis of the discourse of theoretical and literary nature, and of the pictoricity, refers to Bernard Berenson's multilingual considerations about canonical authors in English, Italian, French, German language, belonging to the Neoclassical and Romantic period, as well as to the contemporary era, as conceptualized in his autobiographical works, in correlation with his writings on Italian figurative art. The scope of this presentation is to discern and articulate Berenson's aesthetic ideas evoking literary and artistic modernity, that are infused with crucial notions of translational theory and conveyed through the methodology of close reading and comprising at the same time, in an omnicomprehensive manner, a plurality of tendencies intrinsic to social paradigms of cultural studies. Unexplored premises reflecting Berenson's vision of Italian culture, most notably of a visual stamp, will be analyzed through author's understandings of such adaptive translations or volumes to be subsequently translated in Italian, and through their intertwined intertextual applications, significantly contributing to further critical and hermeneutic reception thereof. Particular attention is drawn to its instancing in the field of Romantic literary production (Emerson, Byron), originally underscoring the specificities of each literary genre and expressive mode, of the narrative, lyric or theatrical nature, as well as concomitantly involving parallel notions as adapted variants within visual arts, and in such a way expressing theoretical views pertainable to Italian artworks too. Other analogous elements relevant to literary expression in the most varied cultural sectors such as philosophy, music, civilisational history (Goethe, Hegel, Kant, Wagner, Chateaubriand, Rousseau, Mme de Staël, Taine) are furnished, as well as the examples of the resonances of non-western cultures, with the objective of exploring the effect among readership bringing also to the renewal of Italian tradition.

Abstract:

La práctica está englobada en las asignaturas en segundo curso tanto en el grado de diseño como en el grado de bellas artes, ambas asignaturas se caracterizan por tener un fuerte componente de educación tecnológica, en ellas se enseñan técnicas; además se trabaja mucho el lenguaje fotográfico, analizando el significado de las imágenes. Las asignaturas abordan tres grandes bloques temáticos sobre los que se desarrollan los contenidos conceptuales, históricos, técnicos y prácticos. Que podemos resumir en representaciones de objetos, de sujetos y del espacio. Aquí presentaré la práctica de fotografías de objetos. La idea general de este tema es explicar a lo largo de la historia como y porqué la representación de objetos ha evolucionado. En él se describen las diferentes tipologías que han existido como referencia de las que actualmente todavía perviven, y se explican sus diferentes denominaciones a lo largo de los tiempos. También se hace referencia a lo que, de uno u otro modo, hoy todavía perdura tanto en el arte contemporáneo como en la fotografía comercial. Los alumnos realizan prácticas de fotografía de objetos referentes a la teoría, técnica e historia crítica enseñada, que serán proyectados para ilustrar cada uno d los conceptos enseñados. El objeto en la pintura clásica. Esta primera parte del tema abarca desde el nacimiento de la pintura de “objetos en reposo” aproximadamente desde el S. XVI hasta el nacimiento de la fotografía (1839). “Las primeras denominaciones oficiales de naturaleza muerta, aquellas que en cierto sentido han sancionado su asunción como estereotipo y establecido su constitución de “género”, no hablan en absoluto ni de naturaleza ni de muerta”. (Calabresse 2000) Nacimiento de la fotografía de producto: construcción de una nueva objetividad. Este tema explica como gracias al lenguaje generado por el medio fotográfico y a su gran capacidad documental se empieza a construir una nueva manera de representar y de ver el mundo. En esta época es cuando bajo la herramienta fotográfica y los principios de la modernidad, nacen las vanguardias y con ellas lo que hoy llamamos fotografía de producto. La representación contemporánea de objetos. Actualmente en el mercado del arte contemporáneo conviven muchos estilos, tendencias y términos heredados de la pintura clásica y de la fotografía “modernista”, pero la mayoría de las propuestas o revisan la esencia de las representaciones clásicas presentando variaciones formales o conceptuales novedosas, o exploran los usos convencionales de la fotografía reformulando o descontextualizando su significado o sus contenidos. Pero las naturalezas muertas de hoy también nos muestran objetos cotidianos, manipulados y plastificados, que al ser representados sin intención estética alguna, nos hacen cuestionarnos la dura realidad del día sin la idealización posible. Nos hablan de esa carrera acelerada que imponen las sociedades de la superabundancia.
