Consumer Activism : Promotional Culture and Resistance
"A crucial intervention to both critical studies of consumption and research into activism.It authoritatively explores the complex and multiplying links between branding and neoliberal culture, consumer practices and social justice." – Professor Mehita Iqani, Stellenbosch University "Eleftheria Lekakis reminds us that as consumers, we can do much more than just buy our way out of social or political problems." – Professor Melissa Aronczyk, Rutgers University Consumption and resistance are entwined.From buying fair-trade, to celebrity advocates for social causes, to subvertising and anti-consumerist grassroots movements, consumer activism is now a key part of our fight for social and environmental justice. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the complexities and dilemmas of using the marketplace as an arena for politics.It goes beyond simply buying or boycotting to critically explore how individuals, collectives, corporations and governments do politics with and through consumption. Impassioned and always accessible, Eleftheria Lekakis explores: The media and economic logics which privilege elite activists. The real opportunities to resist and redirect promotional culture. Consumer activism as collective and community-building. The politicisation of celebrity influencers. The centrality of digital media technology. A range of transnational case studies pushing the field beyond the Global North. Consumer Activism: Promotional Culture and Resistance covers the full breadth of theory and practice you need to know.It is an essential resource for understanding, researching and engaging with the global phenomenon of consumer activism.

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.

What are the tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes?
The tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes typically vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. However, in general, resistance chains and cubes are designed to have tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent resistance levels for users. It is common for resistance chains and cubes to have tolerances within a few percentage points to maintain their effectiveness and reliability during workouts. It is recommended to refer to the product specifications provided by the manufacturer for more detailed information on the tolerances of specific resistance chains and cubes.

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.

The Sovereignty of Quiet : Beyond Resistance in Black Culture
African American culture is often considered expressive, dramatic, and even defiant.In The Sovereignty of Quiet, Kevin Quashie explores quiet as a different kind of expressiveness, one which characterizes a person’s desires, ambitions, hungers, vulnerabilities, and fears.Quiet is a metaphor for the inner life, and as such, enables a more nuanced understanding of black culture.The book revisits such iconic moments as Tommie Smith and John Carlos’s protest at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics and Elizabeth Alexander’s reading at the 2009 inauguration of Barack Obama.Quashie also examines such landmark texts as Gwendolyn Brooks’s Maud Martha, James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, and Toni Morrison’s Sula to move beyond the emphasis on resistance, and to suggest that concepts like surrender, dreaming, and waiting can remind us of the wealth of black humanity.

Resistance in Indian Documentary Film : Aesthetics, Culture and Practice
While sizable literature exists on the themes, issues and voices that constitute resistance in historical Indian documentary cinema, less is known about contemporary modes of resistance in Indian documentary.This volume identifies languages and practices of resistance constructed by Indian documentary practitioners located in contemporary global and national contexts organised by majoritarian political discourse, rising social inequalities, tightening media regulatory mechanisms and variable access to digital technologies.Extending its analytical lens beyond textual politics, the volume offers an original conceptualisation of how we identify, mobilise, and recuperate acts of resistance as both represented in documentary and those represented by the organisation of documentary practice e.g., documentary exhibition, curation, education, and criticism.Combining scholarly essays and practitioner writing, the volume offers a timely reconsideration of how central debates and issues of power and representation in documentary may be studied as objects of analysis and as subjective accounts of individual experience, decisions, and actions relating to documentary aesthetics and practice.

Cairo's Ultras : Resistance and Revolution in Egypt’s Football Culture
The history of Cairo’s football fans is one of the most poignant narratives of the 25 January 2011 Egyptian uprising.The Ultras Al-Ahly and the Ultras White Knights fans, belonging to the two main teams, Al-Ahly F.C. and Zamalek F.C respectively, became embroiled in the street protests that brought down the Mubarak regime.In the violent turmoil since, the Ultras have been locked in a bitter conflict with the Egyptian security state.Tracing these social movements to explore their role in the uprising and the political dimension of soccer in Egypt, Ronnie Close provides a vivid, intimate sense of the Ultras’ unique subculture. Cairo’s Ultras: Resistance and Revolution in Egypt’s Football Culture explores how football communities offer ways of belonging and instill meaning in everyday life.Close asks us to rethink the labels ‘fans’ or ‘hooligans’ and what such terms might really mean.He argues that the role of the body is essential to understanding the cultural practices of the Cairo Ultras, and that the physicality of the stadium rituals and acerbic chants were key expressions that resonated with many Egyptians.Along the way, the book skewers media clichés and retraces revolutionary politics and social networks to consider the capacity of sport to emancipate through performances on the football terraces.

Documenting Violence in Calderon’s Mexico : Visual Culture, Resistance and Memorialisation
An analysis of how artists, filmmakers and affected citizens in Mexico attempted to navigate, articulate and contend with the unparalleled escalation in brutality during the presidency of Felipe Calderón (2006-2012). In Mexico, during the presidency of Felipe Calderón (2006-2012) and as a direct result of his 'war' on drugs, at least 60,000 people were killed, tens of thousands were 'disappeared' and countless more were subjected to kidnapping and sexual violence.This book analyses how artists and filmmakers, alongside affected citizens, attempted to navigate, articulate and contend with this unparalleled escalation in brutality. The texts studied here provide a critical visual archive of this first phase in the drug war and show how artists including Pedro Pardo, Fernando Brito, Mónica González and Natalia Almada attempted to challenge official narratives, foster emerging nodes of resistance and seek justice for citizens.Bringing together works of photography, photojournalism, documentary and short fiction cinema, the book argues for the vital role of cultural production in documenting institutional corruption, human rights abuses and narco-related violence in Mexican society and providing a space to grieve and remember the victims.As Mexico's socio-political landscape continues to deteriorate, the book shows how its visual cultural legacy provides a means of understanding and responding to the violence.

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.
-
Is the protective resistance the same as the series resistance?
No, the protective resistance is not the same as the series resistance. The protective resistance is a component used to limit the current in a circuit and protect other components from damage. It is typically used in parallel with the component it is protecting. On the other hand, the series resistance is a component that is connected in series with other components in a circuit, affecting the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit. While both resistances are used to control current, they serve different purposes and are connected in different ways within a circuit.
-
What is the difference between specific resistance and direct current resistance?
Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that measures the resistance of a specific material to the flow of electric current. It is expressed in ohm-meter and is a characteristic of the material itself. On the other hand, direct current resistance refers to the resistance of a specific component or device to the flow of direct current. It is measured in ohms and depends on the physical dimensions and material properties of the component. In summary, specific resistance is a material property, while direct current resistance is a property of a specific component or device.

How can the individual resistance be determined from the total resistance?
The individual resistance can be determined from the total resistance by using the formula for resistors in parallel or in series. For resistors in parallel, the individual resistance can be found using the formula 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn, where R_total is the total resistance and R1, R2, R3, etc. are the individual resistances. For resistors in series, the individual resistance can be found by simply adding up the individual resistances to get the total resistance. Then, the individual resistance can be determined by subtracting the sum of the other resistances from the total resistance.
