Sinossi

"Museums and Colonization" explores the complex relationship between colonial expansion and the collections housed in museums today. It argues that these institutions are not neutral spaces but are deeply intertwined with colonial history, reflecting imperial ambitions and unequal power dynamics. The book uncovers how artifacts, often acquired through coercive means, became cornerstones of renowned museums, shaping a worldview that perpetuated colonial narratives.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of colonial-era collecting, tracing the evolution from private collections to public museums as instruments of national pride. It then analyzes the intellectual frameworks, like scientific racism, that justified appropriating cultural heritage. Finally, the book confronts contemporary debates on repatriation and decolonization, examining legal, ethical, and political dimensions, as well as alternative museum models.

 
By delving into these issues, "Museums and Colonization" provides a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of colonial power, knowledge production, and museum practices, offering insights into the ongoing controversies surrounding cultural heritage.

  • Depression VS Laziness - 6 Indicators You’re Struggling with More than Fatigue - cover

    Depression VS Laziness - 6...

    In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to mistake symptoms of depression for laziness. The pressure to stay productive and achieve more can make anyone feel inadequate when they struggle with daily tasks. But while both laziness and depression can result in a lack of motivation or energy, they stem from very different causes and have vastly different implications. Recognizing the difference between the two is essential for self-compassion and for seeking the proper help and treatment. 
      
    Laziness is often associated with a lack of desire to do things, simply choosing to avoid effort or responsibility. It can be seen as a personal failing or a bad habit, something that can be corrected by willpower and discipline. However, the concept of laziness often oversimplifies the complex reasons people may avoid action. Many factors, including fear, perfectionism, or lack of structure, can contribute to this behavior. 
      
    Depression, on the other hand, is a mental health condition that goes far beyond feeling "lazy." It's characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression can impact every aspect of life, including sleep, appetite, and the ability to concentrate. Unlike laziness, which is typically seen as a temporary choice, depression can cause deep, overwhelming fatigue that can make even the most basic tasks feel insurmountable.

    The Great Famine of 1315-1317 stands as one of the darkest periods in European history, marking a time of immense suffering, social upheaval, and devastation. It was not a single event but rather a prolonged crisis, which compounded existing vulnerabilities within medieval European society. The origins of the famine can be traced back to a confluence of environmental, social, and economic factors, all of which led to one of the worst food shortages ever experienced on the continent. 
    The famine’s roots can be found in the dramatic climatic changes of the early 14th century. The period known as the Little Ice Age brought cooler temperatures, and the years leading up to the famine saw unusual weather patterns. Prolonged rain, particularly during the summer months of 1315, led to flooding and crop failure, especially in regions dependent on staple grains like wheat, oats, and barley. The disastrous harvests were compounded by already strained food supplies and a growing population. 
    The impact of the famine was felt most acutely by the poorer classes, whose subsistence farming could not sustain them through such harsh conditions. The majority of the population in rural areas relied on farming for food and income, and with crops failing, their livelihoods were destroyed. Urban centers, though slightly better equipped to withstand hardship, faced sharp increases in food prices, making it difficult for even the wealthier classes to procure sustenance. Starvation, malnutrition, and poverty became widespread, leading to mass suffering across the continent.

    "4 out of 5 Stars. Engrossing and earnest, On to the Next Thing is an insightful and positive journey through an empowering personal philosophy." - Brenna O'Hara, Reedsy Discovery 
    Entertaining true crime meets an encouraging spiritual awakening. 
    Having the right mix of encouragement and entertainment, Corbin Bosiljevac's memoir gets to the heart of an extraordinary story told by an ordinary man. When questionable choices, addiction, and mental health consume his existence, the yearning for something larger becomes imperative. 
    This is a true story about a man's struggles through a time in his life when choices led him astray. From college graduate and Fortune 1000 salesman, to black-market drug dealing, crime emerged as an every day event. Illicit drugs and illegal commerce became profitable and daunting, while the danger of these activities began to creep closer by the hour. 
    With federal prison as the catalyst, there was a chance that he would not recover. Being a fearful time, the crippling anxiety overshadowed any hope that he had left. But his life was rebuilt with a new foundation. These changes did not come easily or quickly, but anything worthwhile never does. This is truly a story of redemption. 
    "On to the Next Thing" is an exceptional read about not giving up on life no matter how far you have fallen. Our individual journeys do not necessarily unfold as we have planned, but it is our experiences that shape our time. These experiences during this time are his story.

    Fernando Vidal’s trailblazing text on the origins of psychology traces the development of the discipline from its appearance in the late sixteenth century to its redefinition at the end of the seventeenth and its emergence as an institutionalized field in the eighteenth. Originally published in 2011, The Sciences of the Soul continues to be of wide importance in the history and philosophy of psychology, the history of the human sciences more generally, and in the social and intellectual history of eighteenth-century Europe.
