The Time of Money
Author: Lisa Adkins
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503607119
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Speculation is often associated with financial practices, but The Time of Money makes the case that it not be restricted to the financial sphere. It argues that the expansion of finance has created a distinctive social world, one that demands a speculative stance toward life in general. Replacing a logic of extraction, speculation changes our relationship to time and organizes our social worlds to maximize the productive capacities of populations around flows of money for finance capital. Speculative practices have become a matter of survival, and defining features of our age are hardwired to their operations—stagnant wages, indebtedness, the centrality of women's earnings to the household, workfarism, and more. Examining five features of our contemporary economy, Lisa Adkins reveals the operations of this speculative rationality. Moving beyond claims that indebtedness is intrinsic to contemporary life and vague declarations that the social world has become financialized, Adkins delivers a precise examination of the relation between finance and society, one that is rich in empirical and analytical detail.

Book Description
Estimado lector el contenido que está por descubrir es una historia de búsqueda, de evolución, de cambio, merodeada por circunstancias comunes de nuestro personaje principal, un amor envuelto de complicaciones, un sueño abatido por sus discrepancias emocionales, un retrato del hombre moderno, inmerso en un mundo caótico. Es una reflexión de nuestra postura como entes sociales, partícipes de una cadena de causas y efectos, partícipes de un entorno que nos delimita y nos nombra, partícipes de una ciudad llamada Collage y de ese folklor que vive en ella.

Voice and Nation in Plurinational Bolivia
Author: Karl Swinehart
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350324728
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This book offers ethnographic accounts of Aymara language media activism in Bolivia during the presidency of Evo Morales (2006–2019). It draws on research conducted among Aymara language radio broadcasters, hip hop artists, and community members during a period of radical social change and Indigenous political resurgence (pachakuti) in South America's most Indigenous republic. The Plurinational Republic of Bolivia counts Aymara among its official languages, but Aymara's social status and transmission to newer generations raise concerns about whether, despite being one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages of the Americas, the threat of language obsolescence persists. This ethnographic account of Indigenous language activism shows how Aymara media and cultural workers combat this threat by making the language audible in diverse corners of Aymara life and examines the role Indigenous multilingualism plays in Bolivian politics. Through interviews and analysis of Aymara media texts, this study shows how language professionals determine how “the voice of the people” should sound. By introducing neologisms and archaicisms to avoid mixing Aymara with Spanish, Aymara language professionals disseminate a register of dehispanicized Aymara over the airwaves. The study reveals how these language professionals approach cultivating Aymara as more than a question of linguistic competence, but also of political commitment and anti-racist practice. Organized into two sections, one on radio and one on song, and including clear explanations and illustrations of key concepts in linguistic anthropology, this book listens to Aymara language advocacy from devout Catholics, union militants, and hip hop artists and fans, who hear in their language both the past and the future of Bolivia's Aymaras.
