Queen for a Day connects the logic of Venezuelan modernity with the production of a national femininity. In this ethnography, Marcia Ochoa considers how femininities are produced, performed, and consumed in the mass-media spectacles of international beauty pageants, on the runways of the Miss Venezuela contest, on the well-traveled Caracas avenue where transgender women (transformistas) project themselves into the urban imaginary, and on the bodies of both transformistas and beauty pageant contestants (misses). Placing transformistas and misses in the same analytic frame enables Ochoa to delve deeply into complex questions of media and spectacle, gender and sexuality, race and class, and self-fashioning and identity in Venezuela.
Beauty pageants play an outsized role in Venezuela. The country has won more international beauty contests than any other. The femininity performed by Venezuelan women in high-profile, widely viewed pageants defines a kind of national femininity. Ochoa argues that as transformistas and misses work to achieve the bodies, clothing and makeup styles, and postures and gestures of this national femininity, they come to embody Venezuelan modernity.

Описание: In a unique contributed volume that features chapters written by top scholars paired with practitioner responses, students can see just how much the landscape of intergovernmental relations has evolved in recent years, with diminishing vertical flows of resources, and increased horizontal flows in the form of cross-jurisdictional and interlocal collaboration.
Netflix' The Queen Gambit might've given you the motivation to play chess; this book will give you the knowledge
The top-rated Netflix show The Queen's Gambit took the world by storm. Not only are chess aficionados beyond grateful that it brought the spotlight back to the game, but it sparked new interest among younger generations to get away from video games and start playing chess.
But, where do you start as a beginner?
Not everyone has Beth Harmon's ability to visualize the future of the game on the ceiling. Don't be discouraged by this; even Beth relied on books to master her game. However, some of the books you might've read so far are too complicated and confusing.
Among the most commonly discussed topics in chess books for beginners are chess openings. While there are hundreds of ways to start a chess game, not every opening promises the same odds of winning. And, although you might want to start right away with the Queen's Gambit traditional opening, this book explains why it isn't for beginners.
Would you like to:
Gain a better understanding of chess?
Learn its basic rules and how the pieces move?
Discover the best openings for beginners?
Reach a point where you'll be able to visualize the game?
Don't you dare think that just because you've lost a few games that chess is not for you. With so many sources to learn chess from, you might've been overwhelmed. Luckily, this book brings summarized information on the matter of how to play chess even if you're a beginner.
Here's what you'll get out of this book:
A clear picture of what chess is, a game that has been around for over a thousand years;
The basic things every beginner should know and how to apply them to your game;
7 chess openings for beginners (and why the Queen's Gambit isn't one of them);
A few simple tips and tricks that'll help you to up your game and chances of winning;
Evolved thinking and strategizing capabilities you can apply both in life and in the game;
And much more
If there's one thing that the show the Queen's Gambit taught us is not to give up in the face of a challenge. Instead, be on a relentless quest for improvement despite the stops you might encounter on your road to learning chess. You might not have a janitor in your school who you can learn chess from, but you can have this book and it's just as good

Описание: Shirley Pitts, the eldest of six children was born upside down on 24 november 1934. Her "career" began by thieving bread off doorsteps and coal from coalcarts. Her father's bungled attempts at blackmarketering and her dipsomaniac mother's inadequacies made Shirley resolve not only to be a first-class thief but also the best mother her six children could wish for.
Before she died Shirley told her story to Lorraine - the story of a generous, brave and beautiful woman with a huge sense of fun and a love of life.
