Iracema Dulley, "On the Emic Gesture: Difference and Ethnography in Roy Wagner" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1138314153 | PDF | pages: 88 | 11.9 mb Roy Wagner's work deals with two fundamental issues in anthropology: how to describe difference, and where to place it in anthropological discourse. His discussion and displacement of anthropological concepts such as 'group' and 'culture' in the 1970s and 1980s have arguably encouraged a deconstructive undertaking in the discipline. Yet Wagner's work, although part of the radicalizing move of the 1970s and 1980s in anthropology, was until some years ago not a central reference for anthropological theory.  Professor David Morton, "Off the Record: The Technology and Culture of Sound Recording in America" English | 1999 | ISBN: 0813527473, 0813527465 | PDF | pages: 226 | 2.9 mb Best Research in the General History of Recorded Sound from The Association for Recorded Sound Collections  Nurturing Indonesia: Medicine and Decolonisation in the Dutch East Indies By Hans Pols 2018 | 302 Pages | ISBN: 1108424570 | PDF | 13 MB Hans Pols proposes a new perspective on the history of colonial medicine from the viewpoint of indigenous physicians. The Indonesian medical profession in the Dutch East Indies actively participated in political affairs by joining and leading nationalist associations, by publishing in newspapers and magazines, and by becoming members of city councils and the colonial parliament. Indonesian physicians were motivated by their medical training, their experiences as physicians, and their subordinate position within the colonial health care system to organise, lead, and join social, cultural, and political associations. Opening with the founding of Indonesia's first political association in 1908 and continuing with the initiatives of the Association of Indonesian Physicians, Pols describes how the Rockefeller Foundation's projects inspired the formulation of a nationalist health programme. Tracing the story through the Japanese annexation, the war of independence, and independent Indonesia, Pols reveals the relationship between medicine and decolonisation, and the role of physicians in Asian history.  Paul Josephson, "Nuclear Russia: The Atom in Russian Politics and Culture " English | ISBN: 1350272566 | 2023 | 160 pages | EPUB | 5 MB In the first cultural and political history of the Russian nuclear age, Paul Josephson describes the rise of nuclear physics in the USSR, the enthusiastic pursuit of military and peaceful nuclear programs through the Chernobyl disaster and the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the ongoing, self-proclaimed 'renaissance' of nuclear power in Russia in the 21st century. At the height of their power, the Soviets commanded 39,000 nuclear warheads, yet claimed to be servants of the 'peaceful atom' - which they also pursued avidly. This book examines both military and peaceful Soviet and post-Soviet nuclear programs for the long durée - before the war, during the Cold War, and in Russia to the present - whilst also grappling with the political and ideological importance of nuclear technologies, the associated economic goals, the social and environmental costs, and the cultural embrace of nuclear power.
