Waiting - A Project in Conversation
Author: Shahram Khosravi
Publisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 3839454581
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Waiting is an inescapable part of life in modern societies. We all wait, albeit differently and for different reasons. What does it mean to wait for a long period of time? How do people narrate their waiting? Waiting is about the senses. If you do not sense it, there is no waiting. We sense waiting in the form of boredom, despair, anxiety and restlessness, but also anticipation and hope. Prolonged waiting is like insomnia - a state of wakefulness, a kind of mood, an emotional state. But it is also about politics; affecting and affected by gender, citizenship, class, and race. Blending ethnography, philosophy, poetry, art, and fiction, this book is a collection of works by scholars, visual artists, writers, architects and curators, exploring different forms of waiting in diverse geographical contexts, and the enduring effects of history, power, class, and coloniality.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
If devils and men are against you, God is able to put their plans and works to nothing. But if the Lord God is against you, who can deliver you from His Mighty Hand? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the whole universe, neither faints nor is weary. His Knowledge, Wisdom, and Understanding are unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint!

Beyond Caring
Author: Paul Graham
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781935004165
Category : Books
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Paul Graham's Beyond Caring published in 1986 is now considered one of the key works from Britain's wave of "New Color" photography that was gaining momentum in the 1980s. While commissioned to present his view of "Britain in 1984," Graham turned his attention towards the waiting rooms, queues and poor conditions of overburdened Social Security and Unemployment offices across the United Kingdom. Photographing surreptitiously, his camera is both witness and protagonist within a bureaucratic system that speaks to the humiliation and indignity aimed towards the most vulnerable end of society. Books on Books #9 presents every page spread of Graham's controversial book along with a contemporary essay by writer and curator David Chandler.--Publisher.

The Worsening Crisis in Macedonia--waiting for EU Leadership
Author: Erwan Fouéré
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : European Union countries
Languages : en
Pages : 3
Book Description
Erwan Fouéré recounts in this Commentary the latest scandal in Macedonia involving a vast wiretapping operation that provides evidence of alleged corruption by a government that seems to ignore due process and operates by its own rules. He warns that if the EU lets this pass, it will reflect a serious failure of leadership on the part of both the EU and the member states. Furthermore, it would be a terrible blow to government accountability and respect for the rule of law in the Balkan region, undermining the EU's own policy of putting the rule of law at the heart of its enlargement policy.--Publisher description
