While the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has dominated Turkish politics for a decade and a half, recent years have seen a qualitative change, culminating in the 2017 referendum on the move to a presidential system. This volume focuses on the later years of AKP rule after the first direct presidential election in 2014. It shows how during this period the AKP has changed the political system and societal dynamics, maintained its electoral predominance, and ultimately opened the way for regime change. This collection of key chapters offers indispensable reading for everyone who wants to understand current Turkish politics and the continued hegemony of the AKP in the country’s political life.

Technology and Desire The Transgressive Art of Moving Images


Free Download Rania Gaafar, Martin Schulz, "Technology and Desire: The Transgressive Art of Moving Images"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1841504610 | PDF | pages: 444 | 16.8 mb
The spectral realm at the boundaries of images incessantly reveals a desire to see beyond the visible and its medium: screens, frames, public displays, and projection sites in an art context. The impact of new media on art and film has influenced the material histories and performances (be they in theory or practice) of images across the disciplines.Digital technologies have not only shaped post-cinematic media cultures and visual epistemologies, but they are behind a growing shift towards anew realismin theory, art, film, and in the art of the moving image in particular.Technology and Desireexamines the performative ontologies of moving images across the genealogies of media and their aesthetic agency in contemporary media and video art, CGI, painting, video games, and installations. Drawing on cultural studies, media and film theory as well as art history to provide exemplary evidence of this shift, this book has as its central theme the question of whether images are predicated upon transgressing the boundaries of their framing-and whether in the course of their existence they develop a life of their own.

Knowing Body, Moving Mind Ritualizing and Learning at Two Buddhist Centers


Free Download Patricia Q Campbell, "Knowing Body, Moving Mind: Ritualizing and Learning at Two Buddhist Centers "
English | ISBN: 0199793824 | 2011 | 250 pages | AZW3 | 663 KB
Knowing Body, Moving Mind investigates ritualizing and learning in introductory meditation classes at two Buddhist centers in Toronto, Canada. The centers, Friends of the Heart and Chandrakirti, are led and attended by Western (sometimes called "convert’) Buddhists: that is, people from non-Buddhist familial and cultural backgrounds. Inspired by theories that suggest that rituals impart new knowledge or understanding, Patricia Campbell examines how introductory meditation students learn through formal Buddhist practice. Along the way, she also explores practitioners’ reasons for enrolling in meditation classes, their interests in Buddhism, and their responses to formal Buddhist practices and to ritual in general.

Interactions Between Electromagnetic Field and Moving Conducting Strip (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, 1111)


Free Download Interactions Between Electromagnetic Field and Moving Conducting Strip (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, 1111) by Ihor Kondratenko, Yuriy Vasetsky, Artur Zaporozhets
English | November 28, 2023 | ISBN: 3031482735 | 133 pages | MOBI | 16 Mb
The book combines two interrelated lines of research. One of them is devoted to the development of the theory for solving a certain class of three-dimensional electromagnetic field problems of the three-dimensional electromagnetic field, taking into account eddy currents in a moving conducting magnetizing body. Preference is given to the development of the analytical solution methods of the three-dimensional quasi-stationary problem of field conjugation in the system: "a contour of an arbitrary spatial configuration with an alternating current is conducting body with a flat boundary surface". The second direction refers to the development of mathematical models for solving applied problems, which involve the use of developed methods for calculating the electromagnetic field and their characteristics. The main application of calculation methods is aimed at solving problems of heat treatment non-ferrous and ferrous metal products using the induction method of heating in a transverse magnetic field. The inverse problems are solved to determine the inductor configuration as flat and spatial current contours for providing the necessary temperature distribution of moving metal strips. To achieve uniform heating of strips across the width using inductors in the form of flat current contours parallel to the strip surface, it is advisable to use combinations of current contours, where the geometric dimensions are determined by the size and electro-physical parameters of the metal strips. A more uniform temperature distribution during high-frequency induction heating is achieved by using inductors in the form of current contours of the required spatial configuration.

English | June 25th, 2024 | ISBN: 9798889840275 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 5.20 MB
Conscious Moving extends from one transformative belief: we feel more human, more empowered, and more ourselves when we live from that place within us-and all around us-that simply moves. And when we examine and trust in the emerging and evolving movement of our minds and bodies, we can better harness the tools needed to expand our creativity, wellbeing, and learning.

Music, the Moving Image and Ireland, 1897-2017


Free Download John O’Flynn, "Music, the Moving Image and Ireland, 1897-2017 "
English | ISBN: 1138561770 | 2021 | 306 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Music, the Moving Image and Ireland, 1897-2017 constitutes the first comprehensive study of music for screen productions from or relating to the island. It identifies and interprets tendencies over the first 120 years of a field comprising the relatively distinct yet often overlapping areas of Irish-themed and Irish-produced film. Dividing into three parts, the book first explores accompaniments and scores for 20th-century Irish-themed narrative features that resulted in significant contributions by many Hollywood, British, continental European and, to a lesser extent, Irish composers, along with the input of many orchestras and other musicians. Its second part is framed by a consideration of various cultural, political and economic developments in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland from the 1920s (including the Troubles of 1968-1998). Focusing on scoring and other aspects of soundtrack production for domestic newsreel, documentary film and TV programming, it interprets the substantial output of many Irish composers within this milieu, particularly from the 1960s to the 1990s. Also referring to broader cultural and historical themes, the book’s third and final part charts approaches to and developments in music and sound design over various waves of Irish cinema, from its relatively late emergence in the 1970s to an exponential growth and increasingly transnational orientation in the early decades of the 21st century.

Moving Abroad Risks and Rewards Searching for an Academic Life Far Away


Free Download Kerstin Tomiak, "Moving Abroad: Risks and Rewards Searching for an Academic Life Far Away"
English | ISBN: 9819727642 | 2024 | 242 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1423 KB + 3 MB
This book investigates a different way to gain academic job experience and start an academic career. With universities training more PhD candidates than there are academic jobs, the academic job market, particularly in the social sciences and humanities, is somewhat broken. A possibility for young PhD graduates and early career researchers to gain job experience in an ever more competitive job market is leaving their home countries and taking a job far from home. Academics move from the countries of the so-named global South to Europe and the USA, from the USA to Europe and vice versa, and increasingly also from the so-called "western World" to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Grounded in the personal experience of the editors and the chapter contributors, the book argues that there are more ways into academia and than the traditional route. Gathering the experiences of academics who have been moving to work in foreign places, among them Pakistan, Poland, China, the United Kingdom, Afghanistan, Portugal, and New Zealand, the book offers diverse and rich perspectives on academic mobility. What awaits the moving academic abroad, how to prepare for this move and what are the challenges and rewards in the foreign classrooms are questions the chapter contributors and editors reflect upon, ultimately wishing to help others decide whether to take this jump into the unknown.
