The international practice, which is involved in architectural, urban, and product design – as well as branding – is known for its experimental and interdisciplinary designs as well as for its strong social commitment. The publication will document only projects characteristic of this social responsibility – it portrays architecture as an active tool for driving, in a global context, the development of places worth living in. One key project is the Solar Kiosk developed in 2012, a high-output, solar-based unit which is already used by many communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to secure their power supply.Gegründet 1998 in Los Angeles, ist Graft ein weltweit agierendes Architekturbüro, das mittlerweile Filialen in Berlin und Peking unterhält. Das Büro, international in den Bereichen Architektur, Städtebau und Design praktizierend, zeichnet sich durch seine experimentierfreudige und interdisziplinäre Entwurfspraxis sowie ein hohes gesellschaftliches Engagement aus. Die Publikation dokumentiert Projekte, die sich im Kontext dieser gesellschaftlich-sozialen Verantwortung bewegen: Sie zeigt Architektur als aktives Werkzeug, um die Entwicklung von lebenswerten Orten im globalen Zusammenhang voranzutreiben. Ein Kernprojekt ist der 2012 entwickelte Solarkiosk, eine leistungsstarke, solarbasierte Einheit, die bereits heute die Stromversorgung in vielen Gemeinden des Afrikas der Subsahara sichert.Architecture and societyArchitects and communityElectronic books.Architecture and society.Architects and community.720.103GRAFTauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1035862Sinclair CameronMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465823103321Architecture activism2477338UNINA04255nam 2200937Ia 450 991078097520332120230725041531.00-8147-9606-00-8147-5954-81-4416-3823-710.18574/9780814759547(CKB)2520000000007947(EBL)865695(OCoLC)779828193(SSID)ssj0000336480(PQKBManifestationID)11258440(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000336480(PQKBWorkID)10282871(PQKB)10928705(StDuBDS)EDZ0001326154(MiAaPQ)EBC865695(OCoLC)647835901(MdBmJHUP)muse4855(DE-B1597)546953(DE-B1597)9780814759547(Au-PeEL)EBL865695(CaPaEBR)ebr10356705(OCoLC)1178769861(EXLCZ)99252000000000794720090925d2010 uh 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDangerous curves[electronic resource] Latina bodies in the media /Isabel Molina-GuzmánNew York New York University Press20101 online resource (266 p.)Critical cultural communicationDescription based upon print version of record.0-8147-5736-7 0-8147-5735-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Maid in Hollywood -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index -- About the Author With images of Jennifer Lopez’s butt and America Ferrera’s smile saturating national and global culture, Latina bodies have become an ubiquitous presence. Dangerous Curves traces the visibility of the Latina body in the media and popular culture by analyzing a broad range of popular media including news, media gossip, movies, television news, and online audience discussions.Isabel Molina-Guzmán maps the ways in which the Latina body is gendered, sexualized, and racialized within the United States media using a series of fascinating case studies. The book examines tabloid headlines about Jennifer Lopez’s indomitable sexuality, the contested authenticity of Salma Hayek’s portrayal of Frida Kahlo in the movie Frida, and America Ferrera’s universally appealing yet racially sublimated Ugly Betty character. Dangerous Curves carves out a mediated terrain where these racially ambiguous but ethnically marked feminine bodies sell everything from haute couture to tabloids.Through a careful examination of the cultural tensions embedded in the visibility of Latina bodies in United States media culture, Molina-Guzmán paints a nuanced portrait of the media’s role in shaping public knowledge about Latina identity and Latinidad, and the ways political and social forces shape media representations.Critical cultural communication.Hispanic American women in mass mediaPopular cultureUnited StatesMass media and minoritiesUnited StatesCurves.Dangerous.Latina.analyzing.audience.body.broad.culture.discussions.gossip.including.media.movies.news.online.popular.range.television.traces.visibility.Hispanic American women in mass media.Popular cultureMass media and minorities302.2308968/073Molina-Guzmán Isabel1562913MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780975203321Dangerous curves3830924UNINA
