Years to Burn Douban
Calexico & Iron & Wine genre: Folk
release date 2019-06-14 publisher: City Slang
Calexico and Iron & Wine announce ‘Years to Burn’ their first full–length album together, via City Slang. Calexico and Iron & Wine first made an artistic connection with 'In the Reins', the 2005 EP that brought Sam Beam, Joey Burns and John Convertino together. The collaboration introduced both acts to wider audiences and broadened Beam’s artistic horizons, but it was the shared experience of touring together in the tradition of Bob Dylan’s “Rolling Thunder Revue” that cemented the bond. Their metaphorical roads diverged in the years that followed, but they kept in touch and cross-pollinated where they could. Although they often talked about rekindling their collaboration in the studio and on stage, it wasn’t until last year that their schedules aligned.

The Invention of the Passport Douban
author: John C. Torpey publishing house: 劍橋大學出版社 2018
This book presents the first detailed history of the modern passport and why it became so important for controlling movement in the modern world. It explores the history of passport laws, the parliamentary debates about those laws, and the social responses to their implementation. The author argues that modern nation-states and the international state system have 'monopolized the 'legitimate means of movement',' rendering persons dependent on states' authority to move about - especially, though not exclusively, across international boundaries. This new edition reviews other scholarship, much of which was stimulated by the first edition, addressing the place of identification documents in contemporary life. It also updates the story of passport regulations from the publication of the first edition, which appeared just before the terrorist attacks of 9/11, to the present day.

Technoprecarious Douban
author: Precarity Lab publishing house: MIT Press 2020
An analysis that traces the role of digital technology in multiplying precarity.
Technoprecarious advances a new analytic for tracing how precarity unfolds across disparate geographical sites and cultural practices in the digital age. Digital technologies—whether apps like Uber, built on flexible labor, or platforms like Airbnb that shift accountability to users—have assisted in consolidating the wealth and influence of a small number of players. These platforms have also exacerbated increasingly insecure conditions of work and life for racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities; women; indigenous people; migrants; and peoples in the global south. At the same time, precarity has become increasingly generalized, expanding to include even the creative class and digital producers themselves.
This collaboratively authored multigraph analyzes the role of digital technology in multiplying precarity. The authors use the term precarity to characterize those populations disproportionately affected by the forms of inequality and insecurity that digital technologies have generated despite the new affordances and possibilities they offer. The book maps a broad range of digital precarity—from the placement of Palestinian Internet cables to the manufacture of electronics by Navajo women and from the production and deployment of drones on the U.S.–Mexico border to the technocultural productions of Chinese makers. This project contributes to, and helps bridge, ongoing debates on precarity and digital networks in the fields of critical computing, postcolonial studies, visual culture, and information sciences.

The Crisis of Expertise Douban
author: Gil Eyal publishing house: Wiley 2019 - 11
In recent political debates there has been a significant change in the valence of the word “experts” from a superlative to a near pejorative, typically accompanied by a recitation of experts’ many failures and misdeeds. In topics as varied as Brexit, climate change and vaccinations there is a palpable mistrust of experts and a tendency to dismiss their advice. Are we witnessing, therefore, the “death of expertise,” or is the handwringing about an “assault on science” merely the hysterical reaction of threatened elites?
In this new book, Gil Eyal argues that what needs to be explained is not a one-sided “mistrust of experts” but the two-headed pushmi-pullyu of unprecedented reliance on science and expertise, on the one hand, coupled with increased suspicion, skepticism and dismissal of scientific findings, expert opinion or even whole branches of investigation, on the other. The current mistrust of experts, Eyal argues, is best understood as one more spiral in an on-going, recursive crisis of legitimacy. The “scientization of politics,” of which critics warned in the 1960s, has brought about a politicization of science, specifically of regulatory and policy science, and the two processes reinforce one another in an unstable, crisis-prone mixture. Eyal demonstrates that the strategies designed to respond to the crisis - from an increased emphasis on inclusion of laypeople and stakeholders in scientific research and regulatory decision-making to approaches seeking to generate trust by relying on objective procedures such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs) – end up exacerbating the crisis, while undermining and contradicting one another.
This timely book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the social sciences and to anyone concerned about the political uses of, and attacks on, scientific knowledge and expertise.

★出身不一定决定命运,但决定了改变命运的难度。
名校毕业、成绩优异,就能顺利获得高薪offer、进入精英阶层吗?这可能只是万里长征的起点。名企选拔的标准对家境优渥的学生更有利,招聘官眼中的“优秀”特质往往需要几年甚至十几年的熏陶和培养。看似公平的竞争,实则成为精英自我复制的助推,以及其他群体向上流动的壁垒。
★深入精英群体内部,揭开名企精英选拔的逻辑。
以美国三个高起薪行业——投行、咨询和律所为例,详细分析了顶尖企业挑选新人的过程。招聘官更看重契合、光鲜、驱动力等主观因素,本质上是在挑选与自己合得来的“同类人”。

《出身》细致考察了宣讲会、内部推荐、简历投递、面试和评议等招聘的各个环节,通过丰富的案例,披露了大量招聘的内部知识,为普通人打破文化壁垒、突破阶层天花板提供了可能。

为了回答这些问题,劳伦·A.里韦拉深入美国起薪最高的行业——投行、咨询和律所,访谈上百位招聘官和求职者,详细考察了宣讲会、内部推荐、简历投递、面试和评议等招聘环节,通过丰富的案例,揭示出看似能力取向的选拔标准如何帮助精英阶层完成了优势地位的代际传递。除对选拔机制的分析外,书中披露的大量招聘内部知识,亦可作为普通人突破阶层天花板的行动指南。
