The central symbol here is 'blot' which takes on complex and fascinating meanings in this rich collection of 42 poems. At a time when concerns for the environment increasingly receive global attention, the collection expresses and problematises the way in which the environment in particular and the landscape in general are treated. The poet decries the fact that there is filth everywhere; in man's thoughts, psyche and behaviour and nobody seems to care. Seen from this angle, human beings themselves seem to constitute the major blot on the landscape. 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$vPoetry 606 $aEnvironmentalism$vPoetry 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on 615 0$aEnvironmentalism 676 $a811.54 700 $aNgong Kum Ngong$b John$01539996 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788135903321 996 $aBlot on the landscape$93791329 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04787oam 22005532 450 001 9911003661103321 005 20240214190033.4 010 $a1-003-86027-3 010 $a1-003-25974-X 024 7 $a10.4324/9781003259749 035 $a(CKB)30292675800041 035 $a(ODN)ODN0011070294 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31727557 035 $a(OCoLC)1416755180 035 $a(OCoLC-P)1416755180 035 $a(FlBoTFG)9781003259749 035 $a(EXLCZ)9930292675800041 100 $a20240104d2024 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 04$aThe global politics of census taking $equantifying populations, institutional autonomy, innovation /$fedited by Walter Bartl, Christian Suter and Alberto Veira-Ramos 210 1$aAbingdon, Oxon ;$aNew York, NY :$cRoutledge,$d2024. 215 $a1 online resource 311 08$a1-03-219546-0 327 $aThe global politics of census taking in the 2020 census round / Walter Bartl, Alberto Veira-Ramos, Christian Suter -- An avalanche of ethnoracial population data : on the productive politics of official ethnoracial statistics in 21st-century Latin America / Mara Loveman -- Census, politics and the construction of identities in India / Ram B.

Against the backdrop of controversy between instrumental and performative theoretical stances towards census taking, it analyses the historical trajectories and political implications of seemingly technical decisions made during the quantification process by focusing on the 2020 round of censuses, which have been particularly revealing as activities have been affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing containment policies. Through case studies of countries from the Global North and the Global South, the book highlights the consequences of, and innovations and challenges in census taking focussing on 3 particular areas of concern -the politics of the census in terms of identity politics; the institutional autonomy of the census; and significant and transformative methodological innovations. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of quantification studies, and social demography and more broadly to public policy, governance, comparative politics and the broader social sciences"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCensus 606 $aCensus$xMethodology 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Demography$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Civics & Citizenship$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / Comparative$2bisacsh 615 0$aCensus. 615 0$aCensus$xMethodology. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Demography 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Civics & Citizenship 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / Comparative 676 $a310.72/3 702 $aBartl$b Walter 702 $aSuter$b Christian$f1956- 702 $aVeira-Ramos$b Alberto 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911003661103321 996 $aThe global politics of census taking$94385120 997 $aUNINA
