Participatory Culture, Community, and Play : Learning from Reddit
What does online community look like in the age of social networking?How do participatory culture platforms reflect both their designers’ intentions and the desires of their users?In this incisive and timely work, Adrienne L. Massanari discusses how culture is created and challenged on Reddit.com, the self-proclaimed «front page of the internet».Reddit enables the sharing of original and reposted content from around the web, and provides a platform for like-minded individuals to commune around topics of interest – everything from the joys of drinking beer in a shower (/r/showerbeer) to celebrating the pleasures of tidy penmanship (/r/penmanshipporn).Massanari’s ethnographic work provides a detailed examination of the contradictions that shape Reddit’s culture and how they reflect its role as an epicenter of geek culture.The book explores the ways in which community on Reddit is formed and solidified through play and humor, and the complex ways in which Redditors come together, which demonstrate a deep capacity for altruism and charitable giving, but can easily lapse into mob action.It also explores the community’s troubling gender and racial politics and how some Redditors are carving out their own space on the site to fight back.

The Funk Movement : Music, Culture, and Politics
Rabaka explores funk as a distinct multiform of music, aesthetics, politics, social vision, and cultural rebellion that has been remixed and continues to influence contemporary Black popular music and Black popular culture, especially rap music and the Hip Hop Movement. The Funk Movement was a sub-movement within the larger Black Power Movement and its artistic arm, the Black Arts Movement.Moreover, the Funk Movement was also a sub-movement within the Black Women’s Liberation Movement between the late 1960s and late 1970s, where women’s funk, especially Chaka Khan and Betty Davis’s funk, was understood to be a form of “Black musical feminism” that was as integral to the movement as the Black political feminism of Angela Davis or the Combahee River Collective and the Black literary feminism of Toni Morrison or Alice Walker.This book also demonstrates that more than any other post-war Black popular music genre, the funk music of the 1960s and 1970s laid the foundation for the mercurial rise of rap music and the Hip Hop Movement in the 1980s and 1990s. This book is primarily aimed at scholars and students working in popular music studies, popular culture studies, American studies, African American studies, cultural studies, ethnic studies, critical race studies, women’s studies, gender studies, and sexuality studies.

What is better: quartz movement or automatic movement?
The choice between quartz and automatic movement ultimately depends on personal preference and lifestyle. Quartz movements are known for their accuracy, low maintenance, and affordability, making them a practical choice for everyday wear. On the other hand, automatic movements are favored for their craftsmanship, intricate mechanics, and the satisfaction of owning a traditional timepiece. Automatic movements also do not require a battery, as they are powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist, which can be appealing to some watch enthusiasts. Ultimately, the decision between quartz and automatic movement comes down to individual priorities and preferences.

'Rest or movement?'
Both rest and movement are important for overall health and well-being. Rest allows the body to recover and recharge, while movement helps to maintain physical fitness and flexibility. Finding a balance between the two is key, as too much rest can lead to stiffness and decreased energy, while too much movement can lead to fatigue and overexertion. It's important to listen to your body and give it the rest and movement it needs to stay healthy and strong.

How has the ecumenical movement developed from the anecumenical movement?
The ecumenical movement has developed from the anecumenical movement by shifting the focus from division and exclusivity to unity and cooperation among different Christian denominations. The anecumenical movement was characterized by competition and conflict between different Christian groups, while the ecumenical movement seeks to promote dialogue, understanding, and collaboration. This shift has led to the establishment of organizations such as the World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches, which work towards fostering unity and common purpose among Christians worldwide. The ecumenical movement has also expanded its scope to include dialogue and cooperation with other religious traditions, promoting interfaith understanding and cooperation.

The Community College Reform Movement : Contentions and Ideological Origins
This book critically examines the rise of the higher education reform movement, often referred to as the “completion agenda,” which since the early 2000s has sought to restructure core aspects of the community college experience.Using community colleges from across 9 US states as practical examples, it explores the major higher education reforms, including dual enrollment, the demise of developmental education, corequisites, and performance-based funding.Against the popular view that support for such policies is tied to neoliberalism, it argues for a more nuanced understanding of the complicated and often indistinct ideological foundation of the reform movement, demonstrating that supporters and detractors alike draw on similar concepts such as equity, student success, and affordability.This complication is further clarified through an account of the history, processes, functions, and institutions that paved the way for the advent of the higher education reform movement. Vital reading for anyone interested in the future of community colleges and higher education more generally, this book will particularly appeal to scholars, researchers, and educators working in higher education, educational reform, and educational policy.

Common Movement Disorders Pitfalls : Case-Based Learning
Visual observation of patients is crucial in the diagnosis of movement disorders.Such observation can be subject to many pitfalls. The powerful lessons in this case-based book will help the reader appreciate diagnoses missed or wrongly attributed, movements difficult to characterize, tests inappropriately ordered or interpreted, and treatments incorrectly chosen or dosed.The wisdom of hindsight thus generated becomes an invaluable and enduring lesson. Organized in nine chapters according to the categories of errors and oversights, each case conveys a specific set of clinical pearls on diagnostic or therapeutic issues.The text is written in a coaching style, buttressed by the strong pedagogic wisdom of the authors.The 'hard questions' after each case are meant to steer the discussion straight into the pitfalls - and how they could have been avoided.Video segments (to be found at www.cambridge.org/common-movement-disorders-pitfalls/resources) are important complementary data, critical to a field so intimately dependent on phenomenological clues.

Liberating Learning : Educational Change as Social Movement
This book is about three complementary ideas: 1) learning is a practice of freedom; 2) liberating learning in public education requires widespread cultural change in classrooms, schools, and entire education systems; and 3) social movements have been the most powerful vehicles for widespread cultural change, and in their logic of operation lie the keys to liberate learning.Drawing on existing knowledge and new research on educational change, the author offers nine principles of action to liberate learning in schools and across entire educational systems.Topics discussed include learning, pedagogy, leadership, education policy, widespread cultural change, collective action, and whole system improvement.Written for educators and leaders interested in transforming teaching and learning in classrooms and schools, as well as for public intellectuals and people interested in widespread pedagogical change, the book articulates a new way to think about and pursue educational change.

What is the difference between movement description and movement analysis?
Movement description involves providing a detailed account of the physical actions and characteristics of a movement, such as the body parts involved, the sequence of movements, and the timing. On the other hand, movement analysis goes beyond just describing the movement and involves a deeper examination of the underlying principles, mechanics, and factors that influence the movement, such as biomechanics, motor control, and coordination. Movement analysis aims to understand the reasons behind how and why a movement is performed in a certain way, while movement description focuses on providing a clear and accurate account of the movement itself.
