PDF-(EBOOK)-Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection

A wheel turns because of its encounter with the surface of the road spinning in the air it goes nowhere Rubbing two sticks together produces heat and light one stick alone is just a stick In both cases it is friction that produces movement action effect Challenging the widespread view that globalization invariably signifies a clash of cultures anthropologist Anna Tsing here develops friction in its place as a metaphor for the diverse and conflicting social interactions that make up our contemporary world She focuses on one particular zone of awkward engagementthe rainforests of Indonesiawhere in the 1980s and the 1990s capitalist interests increasingly reshaped the landscape not so much through corporate design as through awkward chains of legal and illegal entrepreneurs that wrested the land from previous claimants creating resources for distant markets In response environmental movements arose to defend the rainforests and the communities of people who live in them Not confined to a village a province or a nation the social drama of the Indonesian rainforest includes local and national environmentalists international science North American investors advocates for Brazilian rubber tappers UN funding agencies mountaineers village elders and urban students among othersall combining in unpredictable messy misunderstandings but misunderstandings that sometimes work outProviding a portfolio of methods to study global interconnections Tsing shows how curious and creative cultural differences are in the grip of worldly encounter and how much is overlooked in contemporary theories of the global. 3 FRICTION The property by virtue of which a resist ing force is created between two rough bodies that resists the sliding of one body over the other is known as friction The force that always opposes the motion of o b Draw a FBD including friction c Solve problems involving friction brPage 2br READING QUIZ 1 A friction force always acts to the contact surface A normal B at 45 C parallel D at the angle of static friction 2 If a block is stationary then the fric Wedges . & Screws.

This session will provide . an introduction to ethnographic . Friction. Friction is a force that opposes the motion, or tendency of motion, of an object.. Friction is caused . mostly by . the . electromagnetic . interactions of particles within molecules at the surfaces of objects in contact. While these interactions can be rather complex, their combined effects can be reasonably approximated with a decent amount of consistency.. Physics 6A. Prepared by Vince Zaccone.

Friction is the resistance to the sliding, rolling, or flowing motion of an object due to its contact with another object. . When a moving object comes in contact with another object, friction is the opposing force that slows or stops the moving object. . post graduate research student .
