Histories of Eating -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis richly drawn ethnography of Samburu cattle herders in northern Kenya examines the effects of an epochal shift in their basic diet-from a regimen of milk, meat, and blood to one of purchased agricultural products. In his innovative analysis, Jon Holtzman uses food as a way to contextualize and measure the profound changes occurring in Samburu social and material life. He shows that if Samburu reaction to the new foods is primarily negative-they are referred to disparagingly as "gray food" and "government food"-it is also deeply ambivalent. For example, the Samburu attribute a host of social maladies to these dietary changes, including selfishness and moral decay. Yet because the new foods save lives during famines, the same individuals also talk of the triumph of reason over an antiquated culture and speak enthusiastically of a better life where there is less struggle to find food. Through detailed analysis of a range of food-centered arenas, Uncertain Tastes argues that the experience of food itself-symbolic, sensuous, social, and material-is intrinsically characterized by multiple and frequently conflicting layers.ACLS Fellows' Publications.Memory, ambivalence, and the politics of eating in Samburu, northern KenyaSamburu (African people)FoodSamburu (African people)Domestic animalsSamburu (African people)Social conditionsFood habitsKenyaSamburu DistrictFood preferencesKenyaSamburu DistrictFoodSymbolic aspectsKenyaSamburu DistrictCulture conflictKenyaSamburu DistrictSocial changeKenyaSamburu DistrictSamburu District (Kenya)Social conditionsSamburu District (Kenya)Economic conditionsafrican culture.agricultural products.agriculture.anthropology.basic diet.blood.cattle.cultural studies.eating.ethnography.famines.food.gastronomy.government food.gray food.kenya.kenyan culture.loikop.lokop.meat.milk.moral decay.nilotic people.north central kenya.northern kenya.pastoralists.samburu cattle herders.samburu culture.samburu material life.samburu social life.samburu tribe.samburu.selfishness.semi nomadic.struggle for food.Samburu (African people)Food.Samburu (African people)Domestic animals.Samburu (African people)Social conditions.Food habitsFood preferencesFoodSymbolic aspectsCulture conflictSocial change641.30089/965Holtzman Jon1474518MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778403403321Uncertain tastes3688278UNINA03251oam 2200709I 450 991078646240332120230207214749.01-136-08994-20-203-03607-71-283-83875-31-136-08986-110.4324/9780203036075(CKB)2670000000298498(EBL)1074552(OCoLC)819635685(SSID)ssj0000810786(PQKBManifestationID)11515058(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000810786(PQKBWorkID)10833348(PQKB)10005133(MiAaPQ)EBC1074552(Au-PeEL)EBL1074552(CaPaEBR)ebr10630244(CaONFJC)MIL415125(OCoLC)822999424(FINmELB)ELB136573(EXLCZ)99267000000029849820180331d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe digital film event /Trinh T.

In her new book, Trinh Minh-ha explores the way technology transforms our perception of reality. ""We are all engaged in social rituals in our daily activities, she writes, ""and by remaining unaware of their artistic ritual propensity, we remain 'in conformity'."" Her goal, as a thinker and an artist, is to transform our understanding of technology and speed so that we are able to ""turn an instrument into a creative tool and to step out of the one-dimensional, technDigital cinematographyMotion picturesPhilosophyTechnologyPsychological aspectsTechnologySocial aspectsDigital cinematography.Motion picturesPhilosophy.TechnologyPsychological aspects.TechnologySocial aspects.302.231791.43/0233/092791.430233092Trinh T.

Today, the scientific approach to improving the operational characteristics of the tool surface layers produced from traditional tools industrial materials is a highly costly and long-lasting process. Different technological techniques, such as coatings (physical and chemical methods), surface hardening and alloying (chemical-thermal treatment, implantation), a combination of the listed methods, and other solutions are used for this. This edition aims to provide a review of the current state of the research and developments in the field of coatings and surface hardening technologies for cutting and die tools that can ensure a substantial increase of the work resource and reliability of the tool, an increase in productivity of machining, accuracy, and quality of the machined products, reduction in the material capacity of the production, and other important manufacturing factors. In doing so, the main emphasis should be on the results of the engineering works that have had a prosperous approbation in a laboratory or real manufacturing conditions.Technology: general issuesbicssc(Al1−xCrx)2O3(AlCrX)Nadaptive coatingadaptive materialadhesionadhesive bond strengthAFMAlCr-basedAr+arcargonC+carbon fluxcharge exchange collisionschemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamondcoating depositioncoatingscomposite powder HSScomposition and structureconvection and diffusioncrack formationCrAl-basedcutting edgescutting tooldiamond-like carbon coatingdiamond-like coatingselectrical conductivityend millsetchingfast gas atomsfinish turningfriction coefficient and wear resistancehard alloyhardness and elastic modulushierarchical structurehigh-fluence ion irradiationhigh-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) diamondhigh-speed millingHiPIMSindex of plasticityionslow-pressure vacuum carburizingmedium-high alloy steelmicro cuttersmicrodropletsmicroparticlesmilling of aluminum alloysmilling of structural steelsmodelingmonocrystallinemultilayer PVD coatingnanocompositenanolayered coatingnanolayered PVD coatingnanolayersnickel alloynitride sublayernitrogen and ethyleneoxidation resistancePCBNplasmapropertiesRaman spectrareactive magnetron sputteringroughnesssecondary structuresSEMsharpeningSHS and hot pressingSiAlONspark plasma sinteringstochastic processstructuresurface layersurface qualityTa3B4 and ZrB2TaSi2tempered steelthermal-force loadstool wearwear resistancewear-resistanceTechnology: general issuesGrigoriev Sergey NedtGrigoriev Sergey NothBOOK9910557793303321Technologies of Coatings and Surface Hardening for Tool Industry3014641UNINA
