Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Queer Traffic , Jennifer Tyburczy traces how sexual dissidents across the Mexico-Canada-US borderlands transport the objects and experiences that nourish their sexual and social lives. She situates the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as a pivot point in the formation of panics aimed at stamping out these outlaw sex practices. Highlighting NAFTA's erotic investments in hetero- and homonormativity, racial capitalism, markets of dispossession, and neocolonialism, Tyburczy directly engages with art, activism, and archives to revisit the struggles of people who invented circuits of sexual exchange through four decades of violence and criminalization. In conversing with actors from bureaucrats to pornographers and in |

studying choreographies, social movements, and street vocabularies, she examines an array of tactics that undermine the market logics of trade law and policy. Dreaming of other forms of living that go beyond mere survival, Queer Traffic guides us through the renegade pathways that circumvent the seemingly endless reach of free-trade capitalism toward other routes to pleasure. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents the multiblock method, also known by other names |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
such as the zonal method and the domain decomposition method. The multiblock method offers a systematic approach to tackle large-scale, intricate problems by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable sub-problems. The method addresses each sub-problem individually while accounting for its interconnections with the others, ultimately arriving at a comprehensive solution. The book provides a cohesive overview of the multiblock method’s concepts and principles, particularly in the context of fluid flows, encompassing diverse fields including computational science, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, physical oceanography, and machine learning. It delves into foundational mathematics, studies model problems, elucidates numerical algorithms, and offers practical examples relevant to fluid dynamics. With its comprehensive coverage, this book serves as a resource for both learners and practitioners, catering to students, researchers, and modelers alike, whether as a textbook for structured learning or as a reference for applied problem-solving. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
With detailed insight into the legal architecture of the global economy, this book examines how WTO law replicates and alters power between states, defines markets, and, at times, creates unexpected opportunities for developing countries to challenge rich countries. |
