Sinopse

Forest Films Guard explores how the Kayapo people of the Brazilian Amazon are using film and television to protect their ancestral lands. Facing threats like deforestation and illegal mining, they've transitioned from being subjects of documentaries to becoming active media producers. This shift empowers them to document environmental crimes, assert indigenous sovereignty, and challenge external narratives.

 
The book highlights the Kayapo's participatory environmental monitoring efforts, where they gather evidence of illegal activities and share it with the world. Their strategic use of media serves as a powerful form of resistance, raising awareness and pressuring authorities to uphold environmental regulations. By controlling their own representation, the Kayapo are challenging the conventional portrayal of indigenous communities.

 
The book progresses by introducing the Kayapo, detailing the rise of indigenous media in Brazil, and presenting case studies of Kayapo-made films influencing policy decisions. It emphasizes the potential and limitations of indigenous media as a tool for environmental and cultural preservation, offering valuable lessons for other communities facing similar challenges.

Social Capital: Life online in...

Aoife Barry

A David and Goliath story about Ireland’s role as prime real estate for the world’s largest tech multinationals, and the considerable impact it has had on us as individuals.
At the start of the millennium, the Tech giants landed on Ireland’s shores. Dublin, once one of Europe’s poorest cities, became a beacon of Silicon Valley’s promise of progress and power. As the face of the capital was remade in the image of Big Tech, Irish society embraced technology like no other. Romantic Ireland was dead and gone: social media was here to stay.
In this provocative account, Aoife Barry explores the human cost of Ireland’s Faustian pact with Big Tech, from the local communities uprooted by Google to the traumatised moderators squirrelled in the capital’s pockets, keeping the internet safe at a terrible price. Unsettling, insightful, and wryly funny, she paints a portrait of a country addicted to the internet, refreshing the news, refreshing Twitter, scrolling and scrolling towards a feverish future. She turns an equally honest eye on her own life online, from her humble beginnings using dial-up in her parent’s kitchen to working for Ireland’s first digital-only newsroom, and asks what we bargain in exchange for life in the metaverse.
Social Capital is the coming of age story of Ireland 3.0: set against the backdrop of the tech revolution, it chronicles how we collapse the boundary between physical and virtual reality, and where we might go from here.
Barry's new book, Social Capital, is a popular science exploration into the world of computers and information technology. It's a top pick for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, economics, and the latest developments in the tech industry.
For fans of Bill Gifford (Ledyard), Britney Spears (The woman in me), Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Bono (Surrender), and Ian H. Robertson (How Confidence Works).
