Broadly defined as ‘ways of getting things done’, these invisible yet powerful informal practices tend to escape articulation in official discourse. They include emotion-driven exchanges of gifts or favours and tributes for services, interest-driven know-how (from informal welfare to informal employment and entrepreneurship), identity-driven practices of solidarity, and power-driven forms of co-optation and control. The paradox, or not, of the invisibility of these informal practices is their ubiquity. Expertly practised by insiders but often hidden from outsiders, informal practices are, as this book shows, deeply rooted all over the world, yet underestimated in policy. Entries from the five continents presented in this volume are samples of the truly global and ever-growing collection, made possible by a remarkable collaboration of over 200 scholars across disciplines and area studies. By mapping the grey zones, blurred boundaries, types of ambivalence and contexts of complexity, this book creates the first Global Map of Informality. The accompanying database is searchable by region, keyword or type of practice, so do explore what works, how, where and why!Political science & theorybicsscPolitical ideologiesbicsscPolitical structure & processesbicsscPolitical structures: democracybicsscPolitical structures: totalitarianism & dictatorshipbicsscGeopoliticsbicsscPolitical activismbicsscPolitical subversionbicsscPolitical science & theoryPolitical ideologiesPolitical structure & processesPolitical structures: democracyPolitical structures: totalitarianism & dictatorshipGeopoliticsPolitical activismPolitical subversion306Ledeneva Alena V.1964-NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910252738303321Global Encyclopaedia of Informality, Volume 1: Towards Understanding of Social and Cultural Complexity1991620UNINA03567nam 22005651 450 991015488230332120200506135228.0978075561906107556190649780857735836085773583710.5040/9780755619061(CKB)4340000000018652(MiAaPQ)EBC4751244(OCoLC)964657257(UtOrBLW)bpp09265250(UtOrBLW)BP9780755619061BC(Perlego)917830(EXLCZ)99434000000001865220200603d2014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBroadcasting the end of apartheid live television and the birth of the new South Africa /by Martha EvansFirst edition.London :I.B.

While the ruling National Party feared the integrative effects of television, they did not foresee how exclusion from globally unifying broadcasts would gradually erode their power. South Africa was barred from participating in some of television's greatest global attractions (including sporting events such as the Olympics and contests such as Miss World). With the release of Nelson Mandela from prison came a proliferation of large-scale live broadcasts as the country was permitted to return to international competition, and its re-admittance was played out on television screens across the world. These events were pivotal in shaping and consolidating the country's emerging post-apartheid national identity. Broadcasting the End of Apartheid assesses the socio-political effects of live broadcasting on South Africa's transition to democracy. Martha Evans argues that just as print media had a powerful influence on the development of Afrikaner nationalism, so the 'liveness' of television helped to consolidate the post-apartheid South African national identity."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Apartheid in mass mediaTelevision and politicsSouth AfricaHistory20th centuryDevelopment studiesBICSouth AfricaHistoryChronologyApartheid in mass media.Television and politicsHistoryDevelopment studies.968.064302.23450968Evans Martha1262983UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910154882303321Broadcasting the end of apartheid2955698UNINA
