Tung som en elefant - Thierry Robberecht - Bog - LAMBERTH - Plusbog.dk

Tung som en elefant - Thierry Robberecht - Bog - LAMBERTH - Plusbog.dk

Da Lukas og hans lillesøster spiller bold, er de så uheldige at baldre en rude. Deres far bliver sur og tager bolden, og Lukas kommer til at sige at det ikke var ham, men hans lillesøster, som sparkede til bolden, da det skete. Faren er rigtig streng og straffer lillesøsteren, som må undvære dessert, mens Lukas' dårlige samvittighed bliver værre og værre og føles tung som en elefant. At sige sandheden kan være en lettelse.

Digital Lethargy - Tung Hui Hu - Bog - MIT Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Digital Lethargy - Tung Hui Hu - Bog - MIT Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The exhaustion, disappointment, and listlessness experienced under digital capitalism, explored through works by contemporary artists, writers, and performers. Sometimes, interacting with digital platforms, we want to be passive—in those moments of dissociation when we scroll mindlessly rather than connecting with anyone, for example, or when our only response is a shrugging “lol.” Despite encouragement by these platforms to “be yourself,” we want to be anyone but ourselves. Tung-Hui Hu calls this state of exhaustion, disappointment, and listlessness digital lethargy . This condition permeates our lives under digital capitalism, whether we are “users,” who are what they click, or racialized workers in Asia and the Global South. Far from being a state of apathy, however, lethargy may hold the potential for social change. Hu explores digital lethargy through a series of works by contemporary artists, writers, and performers. These dispatches from the bleeding edge of digital culture include a fictional dystopia where low-wage Mexican workers laugh and emote for white audiences; a group that invites lazy viewers to strap their Fitbits to a swinging metronome, faking fitness and earning a discount on their health insurance premiums; and a memoir of burnout in an Amazon warehouse. These works dwell within the ordinariness and even banality of digital life, redirecting our attention toward moments of thwarted agency, waiting and passing time. Lethargy, writes Hu, is a drag: it weighs down our ability to rush to solutions, and forces us to talk about the unresolved present.

Tre engle og en tung krabat - Claus Engstrøm - Bog - Hovedland - Plusbog.dk

Tre engle og en tung krabat - Claus Engstrøm - Bog - Hovedland - Plusbog.dk

27 underfundige fortællinger fra en lille landsby.I udkanten af Danmark lever stadigvæk resterne af en gammel fortælletradition i de små samfund. Selvfølgelig har x-faktorerne og andre udslag af en komisk urban-kultur for længst fået foden indenfor, alligevel er der tegn på overlevelse. Folk dør eller flytter, men fortællingerne lever videre blandt de, der bliver tilbage.Claus Engstrøm valgte den lille by Vrist vest for Lemvig som eksempel på et samfund, som er ved at gå til grunde som landsby. Kun få flyttede til, bl.a. forfatteren, og det er længe siden at fraflytningen fra landsbyen har reduceret den til sommerferieby. Men her fortælles historierne stadig, når folk kommer sammen over en sild og en snaps, og der bliver grinet. Og det er netop meningen med det hele: Den forsonende latter eller i det mindste det forsonende smil.Claus Engstrøm hørte næsten alle fortællingerne, og skrev ned. Kun et par stykker af fortællingerne er selvopfundne. Han fortæller ikke det hele, sådan gør man nemlig ikke ude vestpå. Den der lytter, fortæller med. Og sådan oplever læseren det også. Læseren bliver med-forfatter.Bogen byder på små muntre og humoristiske fortællinger om, hvordan postbuddet klippede damer på sin rute i gamle dage, om hvordan man holder fester i Vestjylland, om ham der snuppede rutebilen, mens chaufføren var ude efter post og kørte en tur i Klosterhede Plantage med passagererne. Han nåede at udgive digtsamlinger, ungdomsbøger og undervisningsbøger til gymnasiet.Fortællingerne i Tre engle og en tung krabat har fået titel efter et maleri af Bente Møller Jensen fra Vrist. Det er det der vises på bogens omslag.

David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Until He Gets into an Ivy League College - Ed Lin - Bog - Kaya Press - Plusbog.dk

David Tung Can't Have a Girlfriend Until He Gets into an Ivy League College - Ed Lin - Bog - Kaya Press - Plusbog.dk

"You're not allowed to have a girlfriend until college, my mother warned. And you'd better get into an Ivy League school!David Tung Can't Get a Girlfriend Unless He Gets into an Ivy League College is the first official young adult novel from Ed Lin, author of the acclaimed novels Waylaid and This Is a Bust. Humorous and socially complex, the book tells the story of an Asian American New Jersey high-school student as he navigates multiple social circles as well as parental pressures to get As and conform to cultural norms and expectations. Amid these pressures from outside is the fear he will die alone, whether he gets into Harvard or not.Exploring class tensions (for example, regular school in an upscale, Asian-majority suburb versus weekend Chinese school in working-class Chinatown) and contemporary social neuroses, David Tung Can't Get a Girlfriend is an already hotly anticipated book from an author whose debut novel, Waylaid, established him as a pioneering, provocative, welcome new voice in young adult fiction. Ed Lin (born 1969), a journalist by training, is the author of several award-winning books, including: Waylaid, his literary debut; the Robert Chow crime series, set in 1970s Manhattan Chinatown (This Is a Bust, Snakes Can't Run and One Red Bastard); and the Taipei Night Market crime series (Ghost Month, Incensed and 99 Ways to Die). Lin is the first author to win three Asian American Literary Awards. He lives in New York with his wife, actress Cindy Cheung, and his son Walter.

The Shape of a Life - Shing Tung Yau - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Shape of a Life - Shing Tung Yau - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Fields medalist recounts his lifelong transnational effort to uncover the geometric shape—the Calabi-Yau manifold—that may store the hidden dimensions of our universe. “An unexpectedly intimate look into a highly accomplished man, his colleagues and friends, the development of a new field of geometric analysis, and a glimpse into a truly uncommon mind.”—Nina MacLaughlin, Boston Globe“Engaging, eminently readable . . . For those with a taste for elegant and largely jargon-free explanations of mathematics, The Shape of a Life promises hours of rewarding reading.”—Judith Goodstein, American Scientist Harvard geometer and Fields medalist Shing-Tung Yau has provided a mathematical foundation for string theory, offered new insights into black holes, and mathematically demonstrated the stability of our universe. In this autobiography, Yau reflects on his improbable journey to becoming one of the world’s most distinguished mathematicians. Beginning with an impoverished childhood in China and Hong Kong, Yau takes readers through his doctoral studies at Berkeley during the height of the Vietnam War protests, his Fields Medal–winning proof of the Calabi conjecture, his return to China, and his pioneering work in geometric analysis. This new branch of geometry, which Yau built up with his friends and colleagues, has paved the way for solutions to several important and previously intransigent problems. With complicated ideas explained for a broad audience, this book offers readers not only insights into the life of an eminent mathematician, but also an accessible way to understand advanced and highly abstract concepts in mathematics and theoretical physics.

Rural Development in China - Hsiao Tung Fei - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

Rural Development in China - Hsiao Tung Fei - Bog - The University of Chicago Press - Plusbog.dk

This collection of essays written from 1947-1986 by Fei Hsiao-tung, China's most distinguished sociologist and anthropologist, presents a rich and representative sampling of the research that has characterized his long career. In 1936, Fei conducted field work in Kaixian'gong, a village in Jiangsu province in east China. This village became the subject of his now classic study Peasant Life in China, in which he argued that, because of China's huge population and the scarcity of cultivable land, household industries such as production of raw silk were vital to the peasants' economic survival. His conclusions, long rejected by China's policymakers, have recently been embraced by the government under the political leadership of Deng Xiaopeng. Returning to Kaixian'gong in 1957 and again in the 1980s, Fei examined the changes that had occurred since his initial research. Three essays that resulted from these follow-up studies are included in this collection, providing a rare summary and analysis of developments in the village between 1936 and 1986. Also included here are four articles based on Fei's 1983-84 research in other areas of Jiangsu province. His explorations of the contrast between the wealth of southern Jiangsu and the long-standing poverty of the northern half of the province address key issues of public policy in China today. Useful to students of rural sociology as well as of Chinese history, politics, economics, and anthropology, this collection will provide an overview not only of developments in the small towns of China but also of Fei's thought.
