Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The media and creative industries thrive on passion, but that passion often comes at a cost. Behind the glamour of journalism, filmmaking, games, music, advertising and online content creation lies a growing crisis - one of burnout, anxiety, substance abuse and exhaustion. Why do so many creative professionals report feeling both deeply fulfilled and profoundly unwell Mark Deuze investigates the systemic issues that make creative work both exhilarating and unsustainable. Drawing on extensive research and in-depth interviews with media professionals, he notes the hidden downsides of doing what you love and offers a candid analysis of how workplace structures, high workloads and perceived injustices contribute to mental and physical distress. But this book is not just about what's broken; it's about what can be done. Deuze provides a roadmap for rethinking the culture of creative industries and offers strategies for balancing passion with sustainability. A practical resource for media scholars and those navigating the highs and lows of a creative career, this work challenges us to imagine a healthier future for our labour of love.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Undoing the world whiteness built: excavating the ways whiteness and neurotypicality structure experience and offering a radical vision for moving beyond them. How does whiteness shape the world How does neurotypicality police how bodies move, think, and relate And what happens when we shift our focus from individuality to relation itself The Being of Relation brings together Edouard Glissant's poetics of relation and Fernand Deligny's errant lines to study the structures that hold whiteness and neurotypicality in place. Moving beyond the confines of pathology and psychological assessment, Erin Manning looks into how blackness and neurodiversity emerge at the very site of relation--where identity is not singular but constantly unfolding. This work examines how whiteness operates as a deeply ingrained social structure and introduces what Manning calls parapedagogies of resistance: alternative ways of learning and relating that challenge normative binaries. Drawing from critical race theory, neurodiversity studies, and philosophy, Being of Relation offers a framework for reimagining social connections outside of conventional categories.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A groundbreaking study that redefines Islamic architectural history by placing the Americas at the center of transregional cultural and artistic dialogues. Walking us through colonial courtyards in Peru to the mosques and cultural centers built by contemporary immigrant communities across North America, Islamic and Islamicate Architecture in the Americas depicts how architectural traditions tied to the Islamic world have taken root and evolved across the Western Hemisphere. This volume confronts conventional geographical boundaries by situating the Americas in dialogue with transregional aesthetic and cultural networks that span centuries. Using diverse case studies, contributors examine the migration of construction techniques, the adaptation of Islamic architectural motifs in colonial and modern contexts, and the role of patronage in shaping built environments. This book expands our understanding of how cultures travel and take on new meanings in different spaces by bridging North and South America, two regions often excluded from the Islamic architectural canon. Stimulating material for scholars and students of architecture, art history, and cultural studies, this volume offers a vital reconsideration of Islamic and Islamicate architecture through a hemispheric lens, revealing a rich and complex architectural legacy that continues to shape the Americas today.…
