Goldstein presents a hard-hitting critique of urban poverty and violence and challenges much of what we think we know about the "culture of poverty" in this compelling read. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in Brazil, Goldstein provides an intimate portrait of everyday life among the women of the favelas, or urban shantytowns in Rio de Janeiro, who cope with unbearable suffering, violence and social abandonment. The book offers a clear-eyed view of socially conditioned misery while focusing on the creative responses-absurdist and black humor-that people generate amid daily conditions of humiliation, anger, and despair. Goldstein helps us to understand that such joking and laughter is part of an emotional aesthetic that defines the sense of frustration and anomie endemic to the political and economic desperation among residents of the shantytown.California Series in Public AnthropologyMarginality, SocialBrazilRio de JaneiroPoorBrazilRio de JaneiroPoorBrazilRio de JaneiroHumorSlumsBrazilRio de JaneiroViolenceBrazilRio de JaneiroSexBrazilRio de JaneiroRio de Janeiro (Brazil)Race relationsElectronic books.Marginality, SocialPoorPoorSlumsViolenceSex305.5/68/098153Goldstein Donna M1042907MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463166403321Laughter out of place2467532UNINA02304nam 2200445 450 99641825790331620210226090905.03-030-55215-210.1007/978-3-030-55215-2(CKB)4100000011435812(DE-He213)978-3-030-55215-2(MiAaPQ)EBC6348314(PPN)250220490(EXLCZ)99410000001143581220210226d2020 uy 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierProfinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics /Jorge Almeida [and three others]1st ed. 2020.Cham, Switzerland :Springer,[2020]©20201 online resource (IX, 278 p. 67 illus., 4 illus. in color.) Lecture notes in mathematics (Springer-Verlag) ;22743-030-55214-4 This book describes the relation between profinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics. Profinite semigroups are topological semigroups which are compact and residually finite. In particular, free profinite semigroups can be seen as the completion of free semigroups with respect to the profinite metric. In this metric, two words are close if one needs a morphism on a large finite monoid to distinguish them. The main focus is on a natural correspondence between minimal shift spaces (closed shift-invariant sets of two-sided infinite words) and maximal J-classes (certain subsets of free profinite semigroups). This correspondence sheds light on many aspects of both profinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics. For example, the return words to a given word in a shift space can be related to the generators of the group of the corresponding J-class. The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mathematics or theoretical computer science.Lecture notes in mathematics (Springer-Verlag) ;2274.Profinite groupsProfinite groups.512.2Almeida Jorge1005289MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418257903316Profinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics2311010UNISA03544nam 22005894a 450 991096973590332120250527170618.00-8157-9892-X(CKB)111087027971480(EBL)3004352(OCoLC)53795177(SSID)ssj0000198020(PQKBManifestationID)11180996(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000198020(PQKBWorkID)10181455(PQKB)10273616(OCoLC)1132221748(MdBmJHUP)muse73313(Au-PeEL)EBL3004352(CaPaEBR)ebr10026284(MiAaPQ)EBC3004352(EXLCZ)9911108702797148020020405d2002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMarket-based governance supply side, demand side, upside, and downside /John D.

Market-based governance includes both the delegation of traditionally governmental functions to private players, and the importation into government of market-style management approaches and mechanisms of accountability.
