The notion of people in their environment is critical to understanding the future of work. Socio-ecological means people in their environments, which is the fundamental premise of open systems. Tropophilia, as discussed in this book, is built on the socio-ecological model of open systems. The view of Tropophilia, outlined and discussed in this book, highlights the importance of an enabling organizational environment, with emphasis on the philosophy of future Human Source* (HS) practices, which is a consequence of Open Systems Design Principles (OSDP). The tropophilia, thus developed by the organizational structure, shall lead beyond resilience and antifragility. Inherent and adaptive resilience, which is posited as worker resilience, can be enacted in a range of environments on the premise that the organization is building that resilience through a combination of HS practices based on OSDP. This book focusses on the fact that the onus for developing Tropophilia, in order to go beyond resilience and antifragility, does not rest just on a joint activity involving workers and the organization's top management, but on their continuous directive correlation with their environment. An agile and lean system, built on OSDP, critical thinking, and ideal-seeking behavior, can be developed through a radically different approach to the anachronisms of traditional symptoms-based approaches of "HR" practices. Thus, building the foundation of a Tropophillic Organization which is how a few savvy CEOs are leading the way and thriving on uncertainty. * I find Human 'Resource' demeaning. Hence, the use Human 'Source' throughout this book.

Travel and tourism have a long association with the notion of transformation, both in terms of self and social collectives. What is surprising, however, is that this association has, on the whole, remained relatively underexplored and unchallenged, with little in the way of a corpus of academic literature surrounding these themes. Instead, much of the literature to date has focused upon describing and categorising tourism and travel experiences from a supply-side perspective, with travellers themselves defined in terms of their motivations and interests. While the tourism field can lay claim to several significant milestone contributions, there have been few recent attempts at a rigorous re-theorization of the issues arising from the travel/transformation nexus. The opportunity to explore the socio-cultural dimensions of transformation through travel has thus far been missed. Bringing together geographers, sociologists, cultural researchers, philosophers, anthropologists, visual researchers, literary scholars and heritage researchers, this volume explores what it means to transform through travel in a modern, mobile world. In doing so, it draws upon a wide variety of traveller perspectives - including tourists, backpackers, lifestyle travellers, migrants, refugees, nomads, walkers, writers, poets, virtual travellers and cosmetic surgery patients - to unpack a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination since the very first works of Western literature.

Understanding Cultural Geography written by Jon Anderson and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-03-24 with Science categories.

Understanding Cultural Geography: Places and Traces offers a comprehensive introduction to perhaps the most exciting and challenging area of human geography. By focusing on the notion of ‘place’ as a key means through which culture and identity is grounded, the book showcases the broad range of theories, methods and practices used within the discipline. This book not only introduces the reader to the rich and complex history of cultural geography, but also the key terms on which the discipline is built. From these insights, the book approaches place as an ‘ongoing composition of traces’, highlighting the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the world around us. The second edition has been fully revised and updated to incorporate recent literature and up-to-date case studies. It also adopts a new seven section structure, and benefits from the addition of two new chapters: Place and Mobility, and Place and Language. Through its broad coverage of issues such as age, race, scale, nature, capitalism, and the body, the book provides valuable perspectives into the cultural relationships between people and place. Anderson gives critical insights into these important issues, helping us to understand and engage with the various places that make up our lives. Understanding Cultural Geography is an ideal text for students being introduced to the discipline through either undergraduate or postgraduate degree courses. The book outlines how the theoretical ideas, empirical foci and methodological techniques of cultural geography illuminate and make sense of the places we inhabit and contribute to. This is a timely update on a highly successful text that incorporates a vast foundation of knowledge; an invaluable book for lecturers and students.

Avec l’œuvre vidéo Weather Forecast [Prévisions météo] Guan Xiao met en lumière les évolutions d’une personne au cours d’un voyage qui s’apparentent aux fluctuations de la météo. L’artiste se demande également quelles sont les conditions nécessaires au changement du voyageur : faut-il être mobile pour évoluer, ou la sédentarité suffit-elle ? Le travail de Guan Xiao est axé sur les sens de la vue et de l’ouïe, vecteurs principaux de notre perception du monde. Cet intérêt pour l’expérience sensorielle se traduit dans la nature même de ses installations, qui s’apparentent à des environnements immersifs. Il régit aussi sa façon d’aborder l’image, avec une prédilection pour ce qu’elle véhicule à travers la couleur, la forme et le rythme. Les images que Guan Xiao juxtapose dans ses œuvres sont recueillies sur Internet et utilisées comme des ready-mades. L’artiste crée des collages qui mêlent le nouveau et l’ancien en traitant sur un même niveau tout ce qui compose le monde : objets, animaux et phénomènes naturels. En résonance avec son installation vidéo Weather Forecast [Prévisions météo], exprimant la multitude d’impressions nouvelles qui assaillent les voyageurs en les transformant – un processus aussi fluctuant que les caprices de la météo –, le livre propose en trois chapitres une série d’associations d’images se donnant comme des explications visuelles de processus perceptifs. Dans un entretien avec Heidi Ballet, Guan Xiao revient sur sa propre appréhension sensorielle. La programmation Satellite Initiée en 2007, la programmation Satellite du Jeu de Paume est dédiée à la création contemporaine. Depuis 2015, le Jeu de Paume et le CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux organisent conjointement ce programme d’expositions, assuré dès sa création par des commissaires d’envergure internationale (Fabienne Fulchéri, María Inés Rodríguez, Elena Filipovic, Raimundas Malašauskas, Filipa Oliveira, Mathieu Copeland, Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez et Erin Gleeson). Intitulé « Notre océan, votre horizon », la neuvième édition confiée à Heidi Ballet se propose d’explorer la notion d’identité océanique – un sentiment d’appartenance façonné par une vision du monde tournée vers l’extérieur et axée sur les horizons et au-delà –, en comparaison d’une identité terrestre fondée sur la délimitation d’espaces finis. En réponse à cette proposition, Edgardo Aragón opte pour la cartographie critique, Guan Xiao se penche sur la transformation et le voyage, Patrick Bernier & Olive Martin s’intéressent aux conséquences des traversées maritimes dans l’histoire et Basim Magdy évoque des histoires secrètes de la mer. Chaque exposition est accompagnée d’une publication imaginée comme une « carte blanche » aux artistes. Conçue dans un dialogue étroit avec un studio graphique renouvelé à l’occasion de chaque édition, cette série d’ouvrages s’offre comme un espace de création autonome au sein de la programmation Satellite.

Caring in Times of Precarity draws together two key cultural observations: the increase in those living a single life, and the growing attraction of creative careers. Straddling this historical juncture, the book focuses on one particular group of ‘precariat’: single women in Shanghai in various forms of creative (self-)employment. While negotiating their share of the uncanny creative work ethos, these women also find themselves interpellated as shengnü (‘left-over women’) in a society configured by a mix of Confucian values, heterosexual ideals, and global images of womanhood. Following these women’s professional, social and intimate lives, the book refuses to see their singlehood and creative labour as problematic, and them as victims. It departs from dominant thinking on precarity, which foregrounds and critiques the contemporary need to be flexible, mobile, and spontaneous to the extent of (self-)exploitation, accepting insecurity. The book seeks to understand– empirically and specifically–women’s everyday struggles and pleasures. It highlights the up-close, everyday embodied, affective, and subjective experience in a particular Chinese city, with broader, global resonances well beyond China. Exploring the limits of the politics of precarity, the book proposes an ethics of care.

Both an introduction to sensory ethnography and a bold display of the sophisticated use of the sensory for contemporary ethnography, Global South Ethnographies: Minding the Senses reflects both indigenous and non-mainstream takes on the sensory and the sensual in ethnographic practice. The authors provide a collection of original and timely chapters from both the hegemonic northern and Global Southern hemispheres. As the chapters stem from across a variety of disciplines, the book gives us novel ways of determining and perceiving the sensory.

This book presents a framework for a new kind of thinking about student mobilities and belonging, which foregrounds the everyday and rhythmic dimensions of students' experiences. Using case studies from a variety of UK higher education contexts, this book develops the concepts of everyday mobilities and mobile belongingness. The authors draw on key ideas about the changing characteristics of UK higher education and of student belonging, exploring the central themes of the sensory, affective and emotional aspects of student mobilities; contested and mobile belongings; and the significance of everyday life, to bring a new dimension to the literature on inter and intra-national student mobilities. This is achieved through an examination of the innovative ways in which social science methods have been (re)imagined through mobility, with a specific focus on youth and education. Kirsty Finn and Mark Holton bring together theory and research from the fields of education studies, geography and sociology, and combine this with a discussion of rich empirical data from three UK-based research projects to set out an explicitly mobility-centred approach to 21st-century student experiences. The findings can be recognised globally because they synthesise debates about travel and transport, students' sense of place and feelings of belonging, and the interrelationship between physical, social and virtual mobilities that higher education brings together. In doing so, this text offers a coherent and grounded campaign for theory and research within studies of higher education that foreground multiple mobilities and diverse feelings of belonging.
