All too often, the movies of Sofia Coppola have been dismissed as "all style, no substance." But such an easy caricature, as this engaging and accessible survey of Coppola's oeuvre demonstrates, ...fundamentally miscontrues what are rich, ambiguous, meaningful films. Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, the author here takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy inThe Virgin Suicides to the "female gothic" inThe Beguiled. As Rogers shows, far from endorsing a facile and depoliticized postfeminism, Coppola's films instead deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy.
Leonard Moore has been teaching Black history for twenty-five
years, mostly to white people. Drawing on decades of experience in
the classroom and on college campuses throughout the South, as well
as ...on his own personal history, Moore illustrates how an
understanding of Black history is necessary for everyone.
With Teaching Black History to White People , which is
"part memoir, part Black history, part pedagogy, and part how-to
guide," Moore delivers an accessible and engaging primer on the
Black experience in America. He poses provocative questions, such
as "Why is the teaching of Black history so controversial?" and
"What came first: slavery or racism?" These questions don't have
easy answers, and Moore insists that embracing discomfort is
necessary for engaging in open and honest conversations about race.
Moore includes a syllabus and other tools for actionable steps that
white people can take to move beyond performative justice and
toward racial reparations, healing, and reconciliation.

A Lei nº 5.692/1971 instituiu mudanças no ensino de 1º e 2º graus, sendo as principais destas a profissionalização e a terminalidade deste último com fins de formar mão de obra para suprir as ...demandas do mercado de trabalho. A partir do materialismo histórico-dialético, são analisadas as Habilitações Básicas (HB), criadas, em 1975, como solução para as dificuldades de implantação dessa Lei. Utiliza-se como fontes a legislação editada à época: as Portarias nº 45/72 e 76/75 e aquelas que criaram as 10 HB. Percebeu-se que estas foram concebidas com vistas a implantar a lei e não davam, aos egressos, boas oportunidades para se inserir no mercado, visto que estes ocupariam funções subalternas de auxiliares dos técnicos de nível médio se não completassem seus estudos em uma escola técnica.
Militainment, Inc Stahl, Roger

eBook
Militainment, Inc. offers provocative, sometimes disturbing insight into the ways that war is presented and viewed as entertainment—or "militainment"—in contemporary American popular culture. War has ...been the subject of entertainment for centuries, but Roger Stahl argues that a new interactive mode of militarized entertainment is recruiting its audience as virtual-citizen soldiers. The author examines a wide range of historical and contemporary media examples to demonstrate the ways that war now invites audiences to enter the spectacle as an interactive participant through a variety of channels—from news coverage to online video games to reality television. Simply put, rather than presenting war as something to be watched, the new interactive militainment presents war as something to be played and experienced vicariously. Stahl examines the challenges that this new mode of militarized entertainment poses for democracy, and explores the controversies and resistant practices that it has inspired.
This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between war and media, and it sheds surprising light on the connections between virtual battlefields and the international conflicts unfolding in Iraq and Afghanistan today.
Roger Stahl is Assistant Professor of Speech Communication at the University of Georgia. His work has appeared in publications such as Rhetoric and Public Affairs , The Quarterly Journal of Speech , and Critical Studies in Media Communication . He wrote, produced, and narrated the 2007 documentary film Militainment, Inc.: Militarism and Pop Culture , which is distributed by the Media Education Foundation.
"Roger Stahl is a one-man bomb squad, painstakingly disentangling the complex cultural circuitry that wires our entertainment consumption habits to U.S. military hardware. This richly sourced, vividly illustrated page-turner will recast your next cinema, stadium, or virtual world visit in a startling new light."
—Gordon Mitchell , University of Pittsburgh and author of Strategic Deception: Rhetoric, Science and Politics in Missile Defense Advocacy
"While many have written about militarism, and many more have written about the entertainment industry, I do not know of a book that ties the two together in such an insightful argument. 'Militainment, Inc' is a smart and engaging book about how US citizens relate to and engage with US military actions and how the increasing integration of militarism and the entertainment industries limits democratic commentary. I can't imagine anything more timely."
—Susan Jeffords , University of Washington and author of Remasculinization of America: Gender and the Vietnam War
"Roger Stahl has systematically researched U.S. popular culture and recent military history and has provided a highly illuminating study of how recent wars have been produced as media spectacles and processed by audiences as entertainment, hence the term Militainment . Providing illuminating studies of the media, sport, video games, TV reality shows, and other forms of militainment, Stahl’s book should be read by everyone concerned with the intersection of war and entertainment in the contemporary era."
—Douglas Kellner , UCLA and author of the forthcoming Cinema Wars: Hollywood Film and Politics in the Bush/Cheney Era
"From the thrills of virtual war worlds to macabre fascinations with deadly killing fields, Roger Stahl tracks a culture where war and its horrors are transformed into a landscape of entertainment. This new geography of Militainment is mapped with great skill in an original work that is essential reading for those who would like to see beyond the battlefield to a world of peace and stability." —Robin Andersen , author of A Century of Media, A Century of War , winner of the Alpha Sigma Nu Book Award 2007
"The war in 1971 between India and Pakistan led to a huge refugee crisis. This book argues that the massive influx of ten million refugees into India within a few short months changed ideas about ...citizenship and belonging in South Asia.The book looks at how the Indian state, while generously keeping its borders open to the refugees, made it clear that these refugees were different from those generated by Partition, and would not be allowed to settle permanently. It discusses how the state was breaking its 'effective' link between refugees and citizenship, and how at the same time a second 'affective' border was developing between those living in the border areas, especially in Assam and West Bengal. The book argues that the present discourse regarding illegal infiltration from Bangladesh has a long historical trajectory in which the events of 1971 play a key role. It goes on to analyse the aftermath of the 1971 war and the massive repatriation project undertaken by the governments of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to examine ways in which questions about minorities and belonging remained unresolved post-1971.The book is an interesting contribution to the history of refugees, border-making and 1971 in South Asia, as well as to studies in politics and international relations"--
Abstract We report that the serendipitous young Large Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC 1971 exhibits an extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) possibly originated mostly by a real age spread. We used ...CT1 Washington photometry to produce a colour–magnitude diagram (CMD) with the fiducial cluster features. From its eMSTO, we estimated an age spread of ∼170 Myr (observed age range 100–280 Myr), once observational errors, stellar binarity, overall metallicity variations and stellar rotation effects were subtracted in quadrature from the observed age width.
