Using the innovative concept of "slow violence" to describe these threats, Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the attritional lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the sensational, spectacle-driven messaging that impels public activism today. Slow violence, because it is so readily ignored by a hard-charging capitalism, exacerbates the vulnerability of ecosystems and of people who are poor, disempowered, and often involuntarily displaced, while fueling social conflicts that arise from desperation as life-sustaining conditions erode.In a book of extraordinary scope, Nixon examines a cluster of writer-activists affiliated with the environmentalism of the poor in the global South. By approaching environmental justice literature from this transnational perspective, he exposes the limitations of the national and local frames that dominate environmental writing. And by skillfully illuminating the strategies these writer-activists deploy to give dramatic visibility to environmental emergencies, Nixon invites his readers to engage with some of the most pressing challenges of our time. 606 $aCommonwealth literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEcology in literature 606 $aEnvironmentalism in literature 606 $aHuman ecology in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aColonies in literature 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aHuman security 606 $aPoor$zDeveloping countries 606 $aImperialism$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aGlobalization$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aCommonwealth literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism in literature. 615 0$aHuman ecology in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aHuman security. 615 0$aPoor 615 0$aImperialism$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aGlobalization$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a820.9/36 686 $aEC 1850$2rvk 700 $aNixon$b Rob$f1954-$0532286 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963532903321 996 $aSlow violence and the environmentalism of the poor$94347525 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04504nam 22005535 450 001 9910483979403321 005 20251230070058.0 010 $a3-030-11928-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-11928-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000007761736 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5725435 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-11928-7 035 $a(PPN)243765894 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5918142 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007761736 100 $a20190306d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAdvanced Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development (AI2SD?2018) $eVolume 5: Advanced Intelligent Systems for Computing Sciences /$fedited by Mostafa Ezziyyani 205 $a1st ed. 2019. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (1,021 pages) 225 1 $aAdvances in Intelligent Systems and Computing,$x2194-5365 ;$v915 311 08$a3-030-11927-0 327 $aIntelligent reservation systems based on MAS & data mining method -- A Lightweight Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption for Fine-Grained Access Control -- Generate a Meta-Model Content for Communication Space of Learning Management System Compatible with IMS-LD -- Designing an IMS-LD Model for Communication Space of Learning Management System -- A smart cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter with An optimized modulation techniques increasing the quality and reducing harmonics -- Approaches and algorithms for resource management in OFDMA access mode: Application to mobile networks of new generation -- A new efficient technique to enhance quality of service in OLSR protocol -- Performance Assessment of AODV, DSR and DSDV in an Urban VANET Scenario -- Exploiting NoSQL Document Oriented Data Using Semantic Web Tools -- Analytical study of the performance of communication systems in the presence of fading -- Android Applications analysis results using PerUpSecure Tool -- Novel configuration of Radio over Fiber system using a hybrid SAC-OCDMA/OFDM technique -- A Hybrid Multilingual Sentiment Classification using Fuzzy Logic and Semantic Similarity -- Fuzzy semantic-based similarity and big data for detecting multilingual plagiarism in Arabic documents -- Contribution to the improvement of the Quality of Service over Vehicular ad-hoc Network -- Sustainable Development: Clustering Moroccan Population Based on ICT and Education -- Datamining for Fraud Detecting, State of the art -- Elephant Herding Optimization Algorithm for the travelling salesman problem -- Deep learning technology for identifying a person of interest in real-world -- The Discrete swallow swarm optimization for flowshop scheduling problem. 330 $aThis book includes the outcomes of the International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development (AI2SD-2018), held in Tangier, Morocco on July 12?14, 2018. Presenting the latest research in the field of computing sciences and information technology, it discusses new challenges and provides valuable insights into the field, the goal being to stimulate debate, and to promote closer interaction and interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and practitioners. Though chiefly intended for researchers and practitioners in advanced information technology management and networking, the book will also be of interest to those engaged in emerging fields such as data science and analytics, big data, internet of things, smart networked systems, artificial intelligence, expert systems and cloud computing. . 410 0$aAdvances in Intelligent Systems and Computing,$x2194-5365 ;$v915 606 $aComputational intelligence 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aMedical informatics 606 $aComputational Intelligence 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aHealth Informatics 615 0$aComputational intelligence. 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aMedical informatics. 615 14$aComputational Intelligence. 615 24$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aHealth Informatics. 676 $a006.3 676 $a006.3 702 $aEzziyyani$b Mostafa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483979403321 996 $aAdvanced Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development (AI2SD?2018)$92843930 997 $aUNINA
