Memory, Affect, Play & Web Arcades
LONDON SOUTH BANK UNIVERSITY
Student: Dinis Guarda
Emotional (Dis)(Orders Memory, Affect, Play & Web Arcades My purpose in this final thesis is to reflect upon the parallels between the World Wide Web and The Arcades Project where Benjamin managed his efforts to represent and to critique the bourgeois experience of nineteenth-century history, and, in so doing, to liberate the suppressed "true history" perception that underlay the ideological mask of time and creation of meaning. The whole WWW (World Wide Web) - in the bustling, cluttered, technological, search engine- and user-generated digital arcades, streets and interior merging - is a fascinating parallel to Benjamin’s Arcades and also a powerful equivalent process to the present production and creation of thinking, ideas and art.

The Leadership Challenge is the gold-standard manual for effective leadership, grounded in research and written by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner.

This new edition is revised to address timely workplace challenges, helping you stay current, relevant, and effective in the modern workplace.
During the review, Dinis quoted from the book:
"Everybody is a leader, starting with yourself. You need to be a CEO of yourself first, and then others. Leadership is a relationship. It is important how we put it together, but credibility is the foundation. This is when business leaders are at their best."
Dinis also quoted Tom Peters, a bestselling business author, and speaker, who praised "The Leadership Challenge":
"Did we really need a seventh edition of the leadership challenge? Yes! The seminal book series is more important than ever, far more important. The world is a mess and the best way I see is how we better our organisations and the lives of their employees."

About Snow Crash
Snow Crash follows the story of Hiro, who, in reality, delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo's CosoNostra Pizza Inc., but in the Metaverse, he's a warrior prince. Plunging headlong into the enigma of a new computer virus that's striking down hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain threatening to bring about an infocalypse. Snow Crash is a mind-altering romp through a future America so bizarre, so outrageous… you'll recognize it immediately.
