Green Consulting -- EPILOGUE -- ApPENDIX -- NOTES -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEXThe 1984 explosion of the Union Carbide chemical plant in Bhopal, India was undisputedly one of the world's worst industrial disasters. Some have argued that the resulting litigation provided an "innovative model" for dealing with the global distribution of technological risk; others consider the disaster a turning point in environmental legislation; still others argue that Bhopal is what globalization looks like on the ground. Kim Fortun explores these claims by focusing on the dynamics and paradoxes of advocacy in competing power domains. She moves from hospitals in India to meetings with lawyers, corporate executives, and environmental justice activists in the United States to show how the disaster and its effects remain with us. Spiraling outward from the victims' stories, the innovative narrative sheds light on the way advocacy works within a complex global system, calling into question conventional notions of responsibility and ethical conduct. Revealing the hopes and frustrations of advocacy, this moving work also counters the tendency to think of Bhopal as an isolated incident that "can't happen here."Disaster victimsServices forEnvironmental policyCitizen participationSocial responsibility of businessEnvironmental aspectsBhopal Union Carbide Plant Disaster, Bhopal, India, 1984Disaster reliefIndiaCase studiesadvocate, activist, activism, environment, environmentalist, environmentalism, disaster, problem, global, science, scientific, history, historical, india, southeast, asia, litigation, legal, technology, technological, risk, dangerous, globalization, power, justice, victim, ethnography, plaintive, union, womens movement, community, culture.Disaster victimsServices for.Environmental policyCitizen participation.Social responsibility of businessEnvironmental aspects.Bhopal Union Carbide Plant Disaster, Bhopal, India, 1984.Disaster relief363.7/058/0954Fortun Kim1605869MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826623603321Advocacy after Bhopal3931344UNINA04586nam 22005415 450 991048425620332120200630195325.03-030-37137-910.1007/978-3-030-37137-1(CKB)4100000010122016(MiAaPQ)EBC6032960(DE-He213)978-3-030-37137-1(EXLCZ)99410000001012201620200129d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Art of Brasília 2000-2019 /by Sophia Beal1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (263 pages)New Directions in Latino American Cultures3-030-37136-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

Epilogue.“Sophia Beal leads readers through the complex debates on Brasília, which enrich and inform her sensitive and wonderfully inspired readings of art. The city we find here—though certainly not a modernist utopia—is, like the book itself, anything but unsurprising—a reminder that in the history of urban planning, the unintended happens often. Impressively-researched, fresh, and captivating, this book is a brilliant achievement and will appeal to experts and first-time travelers alike.” --Bruno Carvalho, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, Harvard University “This book is an exemplary piece of research, and singular in that Brasília’s cultural production has not previously been systematically examined. Beal’s study is notable for paying close attention to the importance of popular culture in providing trenchant sociocultural assessments. Her secure grasp of the scope of her material and the quality of her analyses confirm her emerging stature as a major voice in contemporary Brazilian cultural studies.” --David William Foster, Regents’ Professor of Portuguese and Spanish, Arizona State University People from outside of Brasília often dismiss Brazil’s capital as a cultural wasteland. However, as The Art of Brasília argues, that reputation is outdated. Brasília’s contemporary artists are transforming how people think about the city and how they use its public spaces. These twenty-first-century artists are recasting Brasília as a vibrant city of the arts in which cultural production affirms the creative right to the city of marginalized populations. Brasília’s initial 1960s art was state-sanctioned, carried out mainly by privileged, white men. In contrast, the capital’s contemporary art is marked by its diversity, challenging norms about the types of art that can symbolize the city. This book analyzes prose, poetry, film, cultural journalism, music, photography, graffiti, street theater, and street dance that demystify the capital’s inequities and imagine alternative ways of inhabiting the city.
