The Jazz Bubble proceeds from the idea that there is a story to be told about the relationship between jazz, culture, and contemporary financial capitalism. I argue that jazz may provide us with an unexpected avenue of approach as we seek to understand the cultural dynamics of neoliberal ideologies and institutions, in an era in which the volatility of the financial markets has come to inform the texture of everyday life. As a window onto the complex issues I aim to tackle here, I would like to begin here with a case study that in my view shows us, rather than telling us, why this line of inquiry is an important one....

The Relationship

In the current Indonesian art discourse, the reading of works is no longer limited only to the results of the analysis and interpretation of formal elements, but also considering the relationship with the socio-cultural factors of artists so as to give a picture of the multifaceted character of art. This study was designed to identify the representation of resistance aspects in the dominance of Balinese cultural patriarchy in Indonesian fine art and interpret its symbols. The artists whose works were chosen as a case study in this study are I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih and Citra Sasmita. This study used a multidisciplinary approach (Feminism and Semiotics). Based on the results of the analysis, the aspect of resistance is represented through visual symbols that are typical in the two works of artists tend to be born from the experience of the environment that is close to everyday life to a traumatic experience that gives birth to pain and fear. For both of them, painting is a catharsis process and as a medium to transform ideas and alignments so that the message to be conveyed can reach a wider scope.

Abstract Taking as a case study a cooperative belonging to the Landless Movement (MST) of Brazil, this article analyzes the place of conflict and the relationship between the economic and political dimensions of daily life. It presents an analysis on the way to balance the political principles and practices of cooperativism and the constraints imposed by the market economy, by trying to understand how the political experiences of the subjects participate in establishing a social order around a common political project, under permanent construction.

This paper discusses the identity complex of Vietnamese marriage immigrants in Taiwan through aspects of everyday life such as food preference and cooking, vehicle ownership and access, leisure, and religious belief. These are in parallel with acculturation, cultural hegemony, spatial and social mobility, social network-building, social capital accumulation, and the strategy of resistance to the stigmatisation of prearranged remittances. This article also analyses identities as pragmatic strategies for Vietnamese wives to demonstrate their agency, and negotiate and bargain their social places within the Chinese-dominated cultural sphere through conforming to mainstream ideologies and acquiring social capital in the local community. The relationship between happiness and identities construction is examined, too. The methodology is based upon in-depth interviews and participant observations undertaken during ethnographic fieldwork in Taiwan.

Italy experienced the transition from a country of emigration to a country of immigration only in the last decade of the 20th century. The extreme heterogeneity of the Italian scene – from the distribution and variety of productive sectors and local economic dimensions, to the geographical, cultural and linguistic varieties – results in an incredibly differentiated background on which the phenomenon of migrations fits as multiplier of diversity. But there are some particular fields in Italy where the challenges of superdiversity appear to be more prominent: the impact on the school system, in terms of linguistic-cultural pluralism; the change in religious belonging and identities; the dynamics of cohesion/marginality in everyday life; and the relationship between spaces and identities in a superdiverse context.

The Relationship

By investigating contemporary refugees, this paper analyses the contradictory dynamics of a global order whereby universal rights are distributed unequally through nation-state politics. It uses an ethnographic case study of Eritrean refugees in Tel Aviv as its empirical base in order to investigate refugeeness as a condition of everyday life. The paper demonstrates how a repressive environment within Eritrea has made people refugees, and how that condition is being reinforced by the Israeli government's refusal to recognise these refugees as such. It further interrogates the relationship between persecution and belonging that characterises the lives of Eritreans as refugees in Israel. The paper concludes by arguing that being a refugee does not preclude feeling a strong sense of national belonging. Eritrean refugees in Tel Aviv do not aspire to gain cosmopolitan citizenship rights but are driven by the desire to be rightful citizens of Eritrea.

Financial Capitalism

Arbitrage—the trading practice that involves buying assets in one market at a cheap price and immediately selling them in another market for a profit—is fundamental to the practice of financial trading and economic understandings of how financial markets function. Because traders complete transactions quickly and use other people's money, arbitrage is considered to be riskless. Yet, despite the rhetoric of riskless trading, the arbitrage in mortgage-backed securities led to the 2008 financial crisis. In Capturing Finance Carolyn Hardin offers a new way of understanding arbitrage as a means for capturing value in financial capitalism. She shows how arbitrage relies on a system of abstract domination built around risk. The commonsense beliefs that taking on debt is necessary for affording everyday life and that investing is necessary to secure retirement income compel individuals to assume risk while financial institutions amass profits. Hardin insists that mitigating financial capitalism's worst consequences, such as perpetuating class and racial inequities, requires challenging the narratives that naturalize risk as a necessary element of financial capitalism as well as social life writ large.

This chapter considers the relationship between deep equality and law, recognizing that for many people equality is a domain of discussion that is located primarily in law. Though this book is in part about displacing law’s dominance over equality discourse and reinscribing it in the domain of the everyday, the author maintains that deep equality and law’s version of equality are not completely unrelated and it is worth considering law’s role in the working up of a particular way of framing equality that has come to dominate the discussion of religious diversity and its ‘management’. Drawing on earlier chapters in this book whose working assumption has been that law is not at the centre of everyday life and that it does not guide the negotiation of difference, the book turns to the necessary task of recognizing law’s place in the conceptualization of diversity and its contribution to the peace of living together. The author excavates law through the examination of a case study for evidence of the values and practices that belong to deep equality, seeking those moments when law evidences respect, neighbourliness, caring, and perhaps even love.

Abstract The research has the challenge of building a genealogy of the images produced within the risk society and establishing a relationship between the concept of risk and the imaginary. As a theoretical framework, we will have Gilbert Durand's theory unrolled in the Anthropological Structures of the Imaginary. As a corpus of analysis, we will make a case study regarding visual representations of the risks, specifically, of diseases caused by viruses such as HIV, SARS, H1N1, Ebola and Coronavirus. In the study the concept of risk will be analyzed in a broad way, from a philosophical, communicational and anthropological reasoning of the term, to an instrumental conceptualization for the field of Risk Communication. For that, we will analyze constellations of images that metaphorically represent the risks and their effects. One of these effects are narratives and practices produced by the risk society that least caution about hazards, and that, however, act in the production of chronic, stigmatized and punitive subjectivities, as Vaz (2019) predicts. One of the strategies is to consider the metaphor not only as an ornament or as something that moves the sense from one place to another. The metaphor will be observed as a producer of truths. The concept of risk is thus perceived by theorists such as Beck, Giddens and Douglas as a form of normalization that became a kind of microphysics that acts in all areas of everyday life. This contemporary form of normalization is significant in the process of oppression and identification where the relationship and life management change significantly. Key messages To make a scientific conceptualization for an ethic of the Communication of Risk in the contemporaneity having as a foundation the imaginary produced by the visual metaphors that describe the viruses. This study has as a challenge to know the relationships between the concept of risk and imaginary that can collaborate in the development of prevention practices in the field of Communication.

Financial repression introduced early decade 1970 by McKinnon (1988) and Shaw (1973) that represented limits created by governments on monetary and financial system and had a negative impact on financial markets but in some countries, financial repression has had a positive effect on the financial markets. Iran is among the countries that knows necessary suppression of the financing for the economy and of decade 1350 until now is applied many restrictions on the financial markets. In this article we use the econometric methodology "regression to the wide distribution breaks» (ARDL) are paid to analyze the relationship between financial depth and financial suppression of in India for the period 1976-2006 the result of this research has been the negative impact of financial suppression of on financial depth variable and if the government does not limit the financial markets, increased financial depth and can be useful for the economy. Due to error correction model (ECM) we confirm long-term relationship between variables and using the test (CUSUM, CUSUMQ), lack of structural failure in the model.
