Performance, Resistance and Refugees
This book offers a unique Australian perspective on the global crisis in refugee protection. Using performance as both an object and a lens, this volume explores the politics and aesthetics of migration control, border security and refugee resistance.The first half of the book, titled On Stage, examines performance objects such as verbatim and documentary plays, children’s theatre, immersive performance, slam poetry, video art and feature films.Specifically, it considers how refugees, and their artistic collaborators, assert their individuality, agency and authority as well as their resistance to cruel policies like offshore processing through performance.The second half of the book, titled Off Stage, employs performance as a lens to analyse the wider field of refugee politics, including the relationship between forced migrants and the forced displacement of First Nations peoples that underpins the settler-colonial state, philosophies of cosmopolitanism, the role of the canon in art history and the spectacle of bordering practices.In doing so, it illuminates the strategic performativity—and nonperformativity—of the law, philosophy, the state and the academy more broadly in the exclusion and control of refugees. Taken together, the chapters in this volume draw on, and contribute to, a wide range of disciplines including theatre and performance studies, cultural studies, border studies and forced migration studies, and will be of great interest to students and scholars in all four fields.

Prison Cultures : Performance, Resistance, Desire
Prison Cultures offers the first systematic examination of women in prison and performances in and of the institution.Using a feminist approach to reach beyond tropes of 'bad girls' and simplistic inside vs. outside dynamics, it examines how cultural products can perpetuate or disrupt hegemonic understandings of the world of prisons.The book identifies how and why prison functions as a fixed field and postulates new ways of viewing performances in and of prison that trouble the institution, with a primary focus on the United Kingdom and examples from popular culture.A new contribution to the fields of feminist cultural criticism and prison studies, Aylwyn Walsh explores how the development of a theory of resistance and desire is central to the understanding of women’s incarceration.It problematizes the prevalence of purely literary analysis or case studies that proffer particular models of arts practice as transformative of offending behaviour.

Rebel Sounds : Music as Resistance
'Empathy is the currency of all music and Joe Mulhall does a great job of explaining how that quality has been used to generate solidarity for the struggle and sympathy for those who suffer injustice' Billy Bragg'A beautiful account of how music has unified, healed and inspired humanity during some of history's darkest days.Illuminating, uplifting and important' James O'BrienWhile the global history of the dictatorships, oppression, racism and state violence over the last century is well known - the role that music played in people's lives during these times is less understood. This book is a collection of stories and hidden histories about how music provided light in the darkest of times over the past century.How it steeled souls and inspired resistance to oppression.Rebel Sounds will explore freedom songs in the Republic of Ireland, the Soviet Union's oppression behind the Berlin Wall, authoritarian dictatorships in Brazil and Nigeria, institutionalised racism and police violence in America and South Africa, street violence in Britain, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans and musical resistance in war-torn Ukraine. This is a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create, share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations: music.

Is the sound barrier a resistance?
No, the sound barrier is not a resistance. It is a phenomenon that occurs when an object moves at or exceeds the speed of sound. When an object reaches this speed, it creates a shock wave that can cause a sudden increase in air pressure, resulting in a sonic boom. This is not a resistance, but rather a result of the interaction between the object and the air molecules as it moves through the atmosphere.

What do artists do at electronic dance music concerts?
At electronic dance music concerts, artists typically perform live DJ sets or produce music using electronic equipment such as synthesizers, drum machines, and computers. They create and mix music on the spot, often incorporating elements of different genres and styles to keep the audience engaged and dancing. Artists also interact with the crowd, hyping them up and creating a high-energy atmosphere through their music and stage presence. Additionally, some artists may incorporate visual effects and lighting to enhance the overall concert experience.

How does the performance increase when the resistance is halved?
When the resistance is halved, the current flowing through the circuit will double according to Ohm's law (V=IR). This increase in current will result in a higher power output, leading to an increase in performance. Additionally, a lower resistance will result in less voltage drop across the circuit, allowing for more efficient use of the available power. Overall, halving the resistance will lead to a significant improvement in the performance of the circuit.

What is the difference between resistance and specific resistance?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself. Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is a characteristic of the material's composition and is used to calculate the resistance of a specific shape and size of material.

White Minds : Everyday Performance, Violence and Resistance
It is widely understood that race is a social fact with profound implications for life chances, group identity, collective representation and the social order. ‘Whiteness’, the source of race-based inequality and injustice, is perpetuated through power, violence and an array of complex processes which help protect the status quo.While there has been much focus on the psychological harm of racism on people of colour, less attention has been paid to the role of psychological functioning of white groups in maintaining unequal social configurations. In this much-needed book, Guilaine Kinouani, a leading thinker and commentator on race, deftly cuts to the heart of the problem, arguing that whiteness is a historically and socially located psychosocial phenomenon as much as one which evades time and space locations.She examines how the psychological and psychic factors involved in the reproduction of whiteness intersect with macro structures, shedding light on everyday race dynamics, race inequality and racial violence.This book will be of interest to all who seek to understand the impact of ‘whiteness’ so they can be more effective anti-racists.

Mexican Canto Nuevo : Music, Politics, and Resistance
Mexican Canto Nuevo: Music, Politics, and Resistance explores the vibrant history of Canto Nuevo, a musical and cultural movement that influenced Mexican music, politics, and culture from the 1960s to the late 1980s.Author Claudio Palomares-Salas delves into every aspect of Canto Nuevo's evolution, from its origins during the 1968 student movement to its peak and eventual decline two decades later. Palomares-Salas offers a comprehensive, rigorous, and easy-to-follow path to understand Canto Nuevo in all its complexity, discussing Canto Nuevo's nomenclature and temporality, the Marxist-humanist principles that defined the movement's lyrical production and governed the lives of its participants, as well as the folklorization processes that were at the core of Canto Nuevo's origins and development.He examines Canto Nuevo's relationship with other militant song movements, such as Chilean Nueva Canción, Cuban Nueva Trova, and Uruguayan Canto Popular, reasserting Mexican Canto Nuevo in current academic discussions on the pan-Latin American Nueva Canción movement of the 1960s-1980s.The chapters offer much-needed chronological analysis of main events, peñas, artists' organizations, record labels, festivals, and albums that allow the reader to make sense of the politics, aesthetics, and goals of a broad and multifaceted movement that spanned over two decades.Notably, Palomares-Salas clarifies the complex relationship between the Mexican state and Canto Nuevo, clearly explaining the climate of hostile tolerance in which it developed.The book thoroughly explores the work of the movement's most prominent and influential singers, singer-songwriters, and groups, among them Los Folkloristas, Judith Reyes, José de Molina, León Chávez Teixeiro, Óscar Chávez, Los Nakos, Margarita Bauche, Enrique Ballesté, Amparo Ochoa, La Peña Móvil, Gabino Palomares, and several others.A crucial academic resource and a must-read for those passionate about Mexican and Latin American music, politics, and culture, readers will gain a chronological perspective on key events, artists, and organizations that defined the politics and aesthetics of the Canto Nuevo movement.

Palestinian Music in Exile : Voices of Resistance
A historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locationsPalestinian Music in Exile is a historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locations, including Gaza, Turkey, Kuwait, and Egypt.Grassroots musicians emerge here as powerful actors, their stories taking center stage, offering critiques of existing conditions, and new perspectives on displacement and the transmission of Palestinian narratives, and presenting alternative visions for the future. Louis Brehony argues that, under conditions of colonial relations and repeated displacement, the reclaiming of public space has gone hand in hand with aesthetic revolution, both broadening and traditionalizing the sounds of Palestine, and carrying messages of sumud (steadfastness) and resistance.Based on a decade’s research in Europe and the Middle East, this timely and inspiring collection of musical ethnographies provides a rich oral history of contemporary Palestinian musicianship and encompasses a broad range of experiences of the ghurba, or state of exile.

How do I calculate the resistance with the internal resistance?
To calculate the total resistance with the internal resistance, you can use the formula: R_total = R_internal + R_external, where R_total is the total resistance, R_internal is the internal resistance, and R_external is the external resistance. This formula takes into account the resistance from both the internal and external components of the circuit. By adding the internal and external resistances together, you can determine the total resistance in the circuit.

What is the difference between insulation resistance and surface resistance?
Insulation resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current through the insulation material between two conductors, while surface resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current across the surface of a material. Insulation resistance is typically used to assess the effectiveness of insulation materials in preventing current leakage, while surface resistance is used to evaluate the cleanliness and conductivity of surfaces in electronic and electrical applications. In summary, insulation resistance measures the resistance through a material, while surface resistance measures the resistance across a material's surface.

What is the difference between electrical resistance and specific resistance?
Electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself and is dependent on factors such as the material's dimensions and temperature. Specific resistance, on the other hand, is a material property that quantifies how much a material resists the flow of electric current compared to a standard material. It is also known as resistivity and is measured in ohm-meters. In essence, electrical resistance is the overall resistance of a material, while specific resistance is a more intrinsic property of the material itself.
