Dance Code: Dance Steps As A Code

Many people relax when coding is introduced as a language, rather than math. Even if someone creates alone, the technology involved in the process has already been developed by somebody else. Even one person's business requires professional input from others, and collaborations are often performed online. This book mixes experiences in art, coding, music, dance, choreography, video, and stage design. Dances have unique structures and so do computer codes. In both disciplines, steps are applied following patterns, and are guided by rules and restrictions. The rules obey conditions. The Dance Code script aims to make coding less feared by readers when talking with coders on the job and typing better prompts when using artificial intelligence. In this book, a dramatized, choreographed story unfolds technical information about coding and dancing.The Dance Code script tells the story of an online interaction between a coder and a prima ballerina, resulting in a shared understanding of their respective fields. An exchange between a coder and a dancer may inspire new ways to look at visually presenting knowledge through dancing, performing, or choreographed movement. Hence, the audience learns without studying.It is a part of the “Knowledge Through the Arts” series, consisting of:Dance Code - Dance Steps as a CodeNew Storytelling - Learning Through MetaphorsCode Appreciation - Reshaping KnowledgeNature Appreciation - Knowledge as Art

Dangerous Technologies: Crime and Digital Divides in (South) Africa (Routledge Studies in Anthropology)

Dangerous Technologies focuses on the prevalent theft of consumer electronics in post-Apartheid South Africa. Through a material culture perspective, it explores why these objects have commonly been targeted by bandits and subsequently circulated through the criminal underground. The author traces ethnographically how devices travel between various social spheres, delving into the experiences of a range of individuals: from diverse residents who fall victim to criminals, to the bandits who steal electronics for money or drugs, the African migrants who export consignments of stolen electronics to their home countries, the envious residents who buy stolen electronics, and, finally, the police attempting to grapple with the problem. Dangerous Technologies suggests that electronics have widened digital divides between citizens, resulting in underground circuits that seek to violently redistribute enviable electronics to low-income residents who have not been able to formally participate in electronics consumption and use. Due to porous borders, the widespread theft and redistribution of electronics do not only stem from internal inequalities within South African society but also from broader disparities across the African continent. The book furthers knowledge about how and why particularly modern electronics have precipitated violent property crime in democratic South Africa. It is relevant to scholars of social and cultural anthropology, particularly those with an interest in material culture, digital anthropology, and economic and political anthropology, as well as criminologists.
