The Immersive Enclosure (eBook, PDF)
Although virtual reality promises to immerse a person in another world, its true power lies in its ability to sever a person's spatial situatedness in this one. This is especially clear in Japan, where the VR headset has been embraced as a way to block off existing social environments and reroute perception into more malleable virtual platforms. Is immersion just another name for enclosure?In this groundbreaking analysis of virtual reality, Paul Roquet uncovers how the technology is reshaping the politics of labor, gender, home, and nation. He examines how VR in Japan diverged from American militarism and techno-utopian visions and became a tool for renegotiating personal space. Individuals turned to the VR headset to immerse themselves in three-dimensional worlds drawn from manga, video games, and genre literature. The Japanese government promised VR-operated robots would enable a new era of remote work, targeting those who could not otherwise leave home. Middle-aged men and corporate brands used VR to reimagine themselves through the virtual bodies of anime-styled teenage girls. At a time when digital platforms continue to encroach on everyday life, The Immersive Enclosure takes a critical look at these attempts to jettison existing social realities and offers a bold new approach for understanding the media environments to come.- Shop: buecher

Changing Tides: An Ecologist's Journey to Make Peace with the Anthropocene , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
Change the story and change the future - merging science and Indigenous knowledge to steer us towards a more benign Anthropocene.As humanity marches on, causing mass extinctions and destabilizing the climate, the future of Earth will very much reflect the stories that homo sapiens decides to jettison or accept today into our collective identity. At this pivotal moment in history, the most important story we can be telling ourselves is that humans are not inherently destructive.In Changing Tides, Alejandro Frid tackles the big questions: Who, or what, represents our essential selves, and what stories might allow us to shift the collective psyche of industrial civilization in time to avert the worst of the climate and biodiversity crises?In seeking the answers, Frid draws from a deep well of personal experience and that of indigenous colleagues, finding a glimmer of hope in indigenous cultures that, despite the ravishes of colonialism, have for thousands of years developed intentional and socially complex practices for resource management that epitomize sustainability. Ultimately, Frid argues, merging scientific perspectives with Indigenous knowledge might just help us change the story we tell ourselves about who we are and where we could go.Changing Tides is for everyone concerned with the irrevocable changes we have unleashed upon our planet and how we might steer towards a more benign Anthropocene. ungekürzt.

The Sacrament of Happy: What a Smiling God Brings to a Wounded World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 230min
Imagine hearing your physician tell you that chips and queso contain more nutritional benefits than kale and quinoa. Or opening an envelope that looks like just another bill, and unfolding instead an official document declaring you the sole beneficiary of an anonymous billionaire's estate. In her new book, The Sacrament of Happy, Lisa Harper unveils a similarly extravagant, unexpected surprise, declaring that happiness - just plain feeling happy - is a gift from God that you can unashamedly enjoy. Wearing the twin hats of seminarian and belly-laughing adoptive mom, Harper delivers a warm, vignette style built upon solid theological scaffolding. She observes, for example, that God's choice of wording for the first verse of the first psalm (a word often translated as "blessed") literally means happy - one of many biblical reasons for dismantling the old-school idea that joy, not happiness, is the truly spiritual one of the Christian family. In truth, they're more like fraternal twins than distant cousins, meaning we as Christ-followers are not called to jettison happiness - like a no-longer-needed set of spiritual floaties - as we learn to swim in the deep waters of intimacy with God. Beyond merely a circumstances-based, up-and-down emotion, happiness comes from a deep conviction in the unmitigated goodness of our Creator-Redeemer, freeing us to feel and express genuine joy, fulfillment, and contentment, regardless of personal or global tumult. The author's personal story includes such happiness killers as sexual abuse, the deaths of near loved ones, a heartbreaking failed adoption, followed by the arrival of an adopted daughter from Haiti who is HIV-positive. Yet she writes on themes like: The lost sacrament of laughter Does happy have a personality type? Tuning out the Pharisees who try to mute your happiness in the context of spiritual maturity So this is obviou ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lisa Harper.

Smashing Glass & Kicking Ass: Lessons from the Meanest Woman Alive , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 554min
After succeeding for decades in a cutthroat, male-dominated profession specifically by using her skills as a woman to become a leader of men, Linda Smith is on a crusade to teach all women how to harness their unique feminine abilities as women to succeed, not by becoming a mini-man, or beating men at their own game, but by using their unique feminine superpowers--what she calls our Kick Assets—to give women a remarkable advantage when it comes to the modern workplace. Women have the power—right now—to succeed and lead in business. Women need to jettison the societal norms fed to them and sustained by male domination. As long as men continue to make the rules and women continue to play by a male playbook, women will never succeed. The game is rigged against them. It's time to change the rules of the game. In order to get ahead, women have to play by women"s rules capitalizing on women's exceptional advantages in the modern business world by using an entirely different playbook--one written by a woman, for women. This is that playbook. Linda provides women a full understanding of their superior emotional intelligence--the universally recognized marker for leadership success. She tackles an "eyes wide open" discussion of the need to slay the two ferocious dragons guarding the doors barring women from equality—the external dragon of male domination and the internal dragon of self-sabotage. She provides women with dragon slayers to defeat both dragons, and goes on to show women how to use the dragon slayers in the workplace. As part of the program, Linda tackles how to handle difficult men and shut down sexual harassment; how to infiltrate the old boys' network and speak truth to power; how to establish dominance and lead with gusto and how to leave a legacy. It's time for women to use their unique feminine kick assets and unleash their power! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara Rosenblat.
