Prometheus on the tee
Prometheanism in Ski/Snowboard Media
This study analyzes environmental discourses in Warren Miller Entertainment ski films. We consider if and how these discourses have pedagogical potential with respect to pro-environment communication and how opportunities to offer pro-environment messages might have been missed. Findings suggest that prominent environmental discourses in these films reflect Promethean views of nature as something that can be (and should be) dominated by humans to…
Secure Multi Cloud Storage Approach for Multicloud Environments Using Fog Computing
The use of cloud computing is rapidly increasing in many organizations. Cloud computing offers many advantages in terms of easy access to data at low cost. In a cloud computing environment, ensuring the security of cloud computing is a key element. Users typically store sensitive information on cloud storage providers, which may be unreliable. Since a single point of attack cannot expose all information, distributing data across different cloud s…
The City as Fac ̧ade in Velha Goa
What do we know of early modern colonial urbanisms in South Asia? Rich archival sources provide meta-narratives of the ‘rise and fall’ of colonial outposts and their spatial projects. This article revisits these histories through the results of an archaeological project conducted at Portuguese Goa. In settings such as Velha Goa, histories of the city are unavoidably structured by elite, top-down understandings of social processes, principally owi…
Media research
In this chapter we critically examine the practice of studying sport and exercise media. We do so by first asking what (sport) media research is in the first place – an important question in a time of proliferating technologies for representing sporting experience. We then ask why one would study sport and exercise media. This is a complex question too, and one that we answer by pointing to the role of media in shaping social norms and impacting …

The Appeal of Horror
The spectral luminescence of a man's face reverberates in the dark, hovering above the gold charger into which spirals of his hair pool (Fig. 1). To the left a small reed cross identifies John the Baptist, whose open mouth, aligned with the cut of his neck, evokes the connection between his voice and his death. The halo to the right echoes the illuminated rim on which drops of blood glisten, drips that retain the memory of an earlier moment when …

What Is Religion
What is Religion? consists of fourteen essays written by a selection of scholars who represent a wide spectrum of approaches to the acedamic study of religion. Each of the essays is an effort not only to take stock of the present controversy concerning appropriate methodologies for the study of religion, but also to take one giant step beyond that to formulate a precise definition of religion.
