English | ISBN: 1805390945 | 2023 | 230 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Farmers, Indigenous organisations, government and private-sector intermediaries from remote Northern Australia often negotiate with private finance capital to gain funds for agricultural development.The concept of financialisation is used to explore the drivers and effects of agrifood restructuring in the area, while assemblage theory is applied to position local actors as potential sites of power in negotiating connections between local spaces and global finance. This book demonstrates that while financialisation is a useful signifier of patterns of global change, it is assembled by a diverse range of often contradictory work.

The Politics of Globality since 1945 Assembling the Planet


Free Download Rens van Munster, Casper Sylvest, "The Politics of Globality since 1945: Assembling the Planet"
English | 2016 | pages: 218 | ISBN: 1138645621, 1138477605 | PDF | 2,8 mb
This timely, comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume advances an original argument about the complex roots and multiple politics of globality. It shows that technological innovations and decisive developments since 1945 – from the nuclear revolution to anthropogenic climate change and debates about the Anthropocene – have prompted reflections on the global condition of humanity and helped reshape political communities by making the world (appear) small, manageable and interconnected.

Shades of Black Assembling Black Arts in 1980s Britain


Free Download David A. Bailey, Sonia Boyce, "Shades of Black: Assembling Black Arts in 1980s Britain"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0822334097, 0822334208 | PDF | pages: 368 | 5.6 mb
In the 1980s-at the height of Thatcherism and in the wake of civil unrest and rioting in a number of British cities-the Black Arts Movement burst onto the British art scene with breathtaking intensity, changing the nature and perception of British culture irreversibly. This richly illustrated volume presents a history of that movement. It brings together in a lively dialogue leading artists, curators, art historians, and critics, many of whom were actively involved in the Black Arts Movement. Combining cultural theory with anecdote and experience, the contributors debate how the work of the black British artists of the 1980s should be viewed historically. They consider the political, cultural, and artistic developments that sparked the movement even as they explore the extent to which such a diverse body of work can be said to constitute a distinct artistic movement-particularly given that "black" in Britain in the 1980s encompassed those of South Asian, North and sub-Saharan African, and Caribbean descent, referring as much to shared experiences of disenfranchisement as to shades of skin.

Author: Scott Doorley, Carissa Carter, Stanford d.school
Narrator: Scott Doorley, Carissa Carter, Brittany Pressley

A powerful guide to why even the most well-intentioned innovations go haywire, and the surprising ways we can change course to create a more positive future, by two celebrated experts working at the intersection of design, technology, and learning at Stanford University’s acclaimed d.school. In Assembling Tomorrow, authors Scott Doorley and Carissa Carter explore the intangible forces that prevent us from anticipating just how fantastically technology can get out of control, and what might be in store for us if we don’t start using new tools and tactics. Despite our best intentions, our most transformative innovations tend to have consequences we can’t always predict. From the effects of social media to the uncertainty of AI and the consequences of climate change, the outcomes of our creations ripple across our lives.

The Self-Assembling Brain How Neural Networks Grow Smarter [Audiobook]


Free Download The Self-Assembling Brain: How Neural Networks Grow Smarter (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CCC1XKD8 | 2023 | 12 hours and 22 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 338 MB
Author: Peter Robin Hiesinger
Narrator: Joel Richards

How does a neural network become a brain? While neurobiologists investigate how nature accomplishes this feat, computer scientists interested in AI strive to achieve this through technology. The Self-Assembling Brain tells the stories of both fields, exploring the historical and modern approaches taken by the scientists pursuing answers to the quandary: What information is necessary to make an intelligent neural network? As Peter Robin Hiesinger argues, "the information problem" underlies both fields. How does genetic information unfold during the process of human brain development-and is there a quicker path to creating human-level artificial intelligence?
