【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】From the Bronx to the Bosphorus Klezmer and Other Displaced Musics of New York【電子書籍】[ Walter Zev Feldman ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Discover the vibrant journey of music from New York’s melting pot to the mystical shores of the Bosphorus＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞From the Bronx to the Bosphorus＜/em＞ explores the vibrant, yet largely concealed, musical culture of New York, tracing its origins to a period when the city served as a crucible for immigrants and their diverse musical expressions. Walter Zev Feldman chronicles his journey through the musical landscapes of post?WWII New Yorkーfrom the declining world of East European immigrant klezmorim to the dynamic environments of Greek, Armenian, and Caucasian musicians.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These experiences culminate in the klezmer revitalization movement of the late 1970s. Feldman, whose father emigrated from Bessarabiaーa region known for its rich interactions among Jewish, Roma, and Greek musiciansーconnects various musical worlds. From the local Turkish Sephardi synagogue and the Greek Orthodox cathedral in Washington Heights to the lively Armenian and Greek nightclubs of Manhattan, his interactions with a diverse group of musicians, including an Armenian virtuoso who once performed for Stalin and the Shah of Iran, enhance his understanding and appreciation of these interconnected cultures.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, at age twenty-five, in a sense he returned to his father’s shtetl and studied with Dave Tarras, the greatest living klezmer in America, who had learned his key musical lessons in that very same Bessarabian town following World War I. ＜em＞From the Bronx to the Bosphorus＜/em＞ is not just a chronicle of music but a poignant examination of the power of music to connect cultures, transcend borders, and preserve the echoes of a nearly vanished world.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Prop【電子書籍】[ Elena Gorfinkel ]

＜p＞What are film props? What do they do? This book answers these questions by a close attention to those material objects that are used to construct cinematic worlds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The term “prop” is short for property. This truncated term’s etymology belies the expansiveness of the concept and indicates the micro and macro scales at which the prop operates. Props are the materialーoften literalーfurniture of cinema’s diegetic reality. Props are also narrative agents: think of the animacy of objects in Jean Epstein’s account of ＜em＞photog?nie＜/em＞, the crystal egg in ＜em＞Risky Business＜/em＞, or the domestic bric-?-brac of Sirk’s melodramas. The prop is central to production design and the construction of mise-en-sc?ne. And yet, the prop has rarelyーalmost neverーbeen taken as an object of analysis and theorization in its own right.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book begins by tracing the prop’s curious but unacknowledged role in film theory, before proceeding to a series of theoretical speculations and close readings that bring the prop into focus. Analyses of scenes of “prop mastery” demonstrate the labor that props perform and enable, as well as the interpretive work they make possible. Across a variety of genres, modes, and historical contextsーstudio filmmaking, art cinema, adult and avant-garde filmsー＜em＞The Prop＜/em＞ introduces readers to the notion of “prop value,” a quality that puts the prop in proximity to the capitalist commodity, but also provides an ironic distance from the commodity’s subjection to exchange value. Gorfinkel and Rhodes argue that the prop is nothing less than a condensation of how labor, subjection, value, and instrumentality underwrite the very conditions of cinema.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Like the Sea Dancing with Mary Glass【電子書籍】[ Carol Mavor ]

＜p＞＜strong＞An exploration of the mythical Mary Glassーher art, her life, and her times＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mary Glass (1946?2021) was an innovative modern dancer and choreographer, quietly instrumental to the San Francisco Bay Area art scene of the 1960s and ’70sーbarely known todayーadmired for her experimental movements based on sounds and images of the Pacific.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As a child, Mary Glass took her first dance class with Anna Halprin on her famed redwood dance deck in Marin County’s Kent Woodlands. Dancing with the blue sky as her ceilingーsurrounded by magical madrones and redwoodsーthe effect on Mary Glass was seismic. Fittingly, Halprin called her classes “dance experiences.”＜br /＞ Mary Glass’s lifestyle, her anxieties, and her dance reflect the human geography of Northern California: Happenings, Zero Population Growth (ZPG), feminism, same-sex love, civil rights, Vietnam, environmentalism. Cascading in the waves of the politics of the time was Mary Glass’s anorexia, an unexpected pregnancy, and her life-long love affair with the Black painter Eliza Vesper.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today Mary Glass is remembered by an increasingly diminishing handful of devotees. Author Carol Mavor is one of them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this daring work of fictocriticism, where “feelings are facts,” ＜em＞Like the Sea＜/em＞ asks its readersーjust as Anna Halprin asked of each of her young students as they were leaving classー“What are you taking with you from the natural world?”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Halprin’s words will resonate in Mary’s mind her entire lifetime and beyond.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the after-time of the prescient Mary Glassーwith its decline of sea kelp and warm Decembersー Mavor herself considers the Anthropocene, tasting extinction as if swallowing the long-gone abalone mollusks of her own Bay-Area childhood: salty, like the sea, but strangely sweet. And from it, Mavor delivers the reader to the far-away country of the not-so-distant past to help envision a future.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There are no photographs or films of Mary Glass dancing. The life of Mary Glass is nearly forgotten, her memory on the edge of extinction. In meditative, dazzling and lyrical prose, ＜em＞Like the Sea＜/em＞ tells usーlike the ocean’s music in our earーwe need to remember extinction to imagine our way out of it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Carbonate of Copper【電子書籍】[ Roberto Tejada ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Bringing together lyric poetry, documentary photographs, and lives lived along the U.S.-Mexico borderland＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written during extended periods in Brownsville, McAllen, and Marfa, Texas, in ＜em＞Carbonate of Copper＜/em＞ Roberto Tejada gives voice to unsettled stories from the past, as well as to present-day experiences of custody and displacement. The poems stage scenes adjacent to the U.S.-Mexico border and to the realities of migration warped by jarring political vitriol, bearing witness to past and present-day hazards and sorrows wagered by those in search of asylum. So enabled, these poems make visible not only the infrastructure of militarized surveillance and its detention complex but also the aspiration to justice and mercy and the resilient self-organized order of time for migrants seeking human dignity while awaiting passage to the other side of the dividing line.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book’s title refers also to a mineral found in azurite and malachite, a color medium that had an impact on art during the first phase of globalization, the ensuing colonial enterprise, and its systems of extraction. Carbonate of copper was less desirable than the deeper ultramarine made from ground lapis lazuli, but Renaissance artists and patrons nonetheless coveted it and prompted a market for the blue derivative used in tempera and oil pigment. The blue powder pigment serves, too, as a form of sorcery: one that would ward off those who deal in injury of the already dispossessed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Turning his attention to the forced relocation of peoples, the COVID-19 death toll, the encroaching dangers of illiberal rule, the meanings of home and eviction, the power of cultural memory, as well as his artistic forebears, Tejada accounts for the uncounted and those excluded from belonging in voices that tell the cruel fortunes and joyful vitality of human and non-human life forms.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】On the Colors of Vowels Thinking through Synesthesia【電子書籍】[ Liesl Yamaguchi ]

＜p＞Treatments of synesthesia in the arts and humanities generally assume a clear distinction between the neurological condition and the literary device. Synesthetes’ descriptions of colors seen in connection with music, for example, are thought to differ fundamentally from common expressions that rely on transpositions across sensory dimensions (“bright vowels”). This has not always been the case. The distinction emerged over the course of the twentieth century, as scientists sought to constitute “synesthesia” as a legitimate object of modern science.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞On the Colors of Vowels＜/em＞ investigates the ambiguity of visual descriptions of vowels across a wide range of disciplines, casting several landmark texts in a wholly new light. The book traces the migration of sound-color correspondence from its ancient host (music) to its modern one (vowels), investigating the vocalic ＜em＞Klangfarben＜/em＞ of Hermann von Helmholtz’s monumental ＜em＞Sensations of Tone＜/em＞, the vowel colors reported in early psychology surveys into ＜em＞audition color?e＜/em＞ (colored hearing), the mis-matched timbres that form poetry’s condition of possibility in St?phane Mallarm?’s “Crisis of Verse,” and the vowel-color analogy central to both the universal alphabets of the nineteenth century and the phonological universals of the twentieth. The book’s final chapter turns to an intricately detailed account of vowel-color correspondence by Ferdinand de Saussure, suggesting how the linguist’s sensitivity to vowel coloration may have guided his groundbreaking study of Indo-European vocalism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Bringing out the diverse ways in which visual conceptions of vowels have inflected the arts and sciences of modernity, ＜em＞On the Colors of Vowels＜/em＞ makes it possible to see how discourses of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries crafted the enigma we now readily recognize as “synesthesia.”＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Hotels【電子書籍】[ Jules O'Dwyer ]

＜p＞From Marienbad to the Bates Motel, cinematic hotels are more than a mere backdrop to a film’s action. They actively scaffold the formal, aesthetic, and narrative possibilities of cinema. This book takes a journey through spaces of temporary dwellingーhotels, inns, and motelsーto delve into the dynamics and contradictions that structure modern life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Along the way, O’Dwyer considers questions of plot and eroticism, labor and globalization, and the ethics and economics of hospitality. Drawing on a broad array of films from European art cinema to experimental adult media, and placing cinema into dialogue with film theory and media history, ＜em＞Hotels＜/em＞ explores both how and why the hotel has such a strong purchase on the cinematic imaginary.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Too Good to Get Married The Life and Photographs of Miss Alice Austen【電子書籍】[ Bonnie Yochelson ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Explore Gilded Age New York through the lens of Alice Austen, who captured the social rituals of New York’s leisured class and the bustling streets of the modern city. Celebrated as a queer artist, she was this and much more＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Alice Austen (1866?1952) lived at Clear Comfort, her grandparent’s Victorian cottage on Staten Island, which is now a National Historic Landmark. As a teenager, she devoted herself to photography, recording what she called “the larky life” of tennis matches, yacht races, and lavish parties.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When she was 25 and expected to marry, Austen used her camera to satirize gender norms by posing with her friends in their undergarments and in men’s clothes, “smoking” cigarettes, and feigning drunkenness. As she later remarked, she was “too good to get married.” Austen embraced the rebellious spirit of the “New Woman,” a moniker given to those who defied expectations by pursuing athletics, higher education, or careers. She had romantic affairs with women, and at 31, she met Gertrude Tate, who became her life partner. Briefly, Austen considered becoming a professional photographer. She illustrated ＜em＞Bicycling for Ladies＜/em＞, a guide written by her friend Violet Ward, and she explored the working-class neighborhoods of Manhattan to produce a portfolio, “Street Types of New York.” Rejecting the taint of commerce, however, she remained within the confines of elite society with Tate by her side.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although interest in Austen has accelerated since 2017, when the Alice Austen House was designated a national site of LGBTQ history, the only prior book on Austen was published in 1976. Copiously illustrated, ＜em＞Too Good to Get Married＜/em＞ fills the need for a fresh and deeply researched look at this skillful and witty photographer. Through analysis of Austen’s photographs, Yochelson illuminates the history of American photography and the history of sexuality.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Latinx Revolutionary Horizons Form and Futurity in the Americas【電子書籍】[ Renee Hudson ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A necessary reconceptualization of Latinx identity, literature, and politics＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Latinx Revolutionary Horizons＜/em＞, Renee Hudson theorizes a liberatory latinidad that is not yet here and conceptualizes a hemispheric project in which contemporary Latinx authors return to earlier moments of revolution. Rather than viewing Latinx as solely a category of identification, she argues for an expansive, historicized sense of the term that illuminates its political potential.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Claiming the “x” in Latinx as marking the suspension and tension between how Latin American descended people identify and the future politics the “x” points us toward, Hudson contends that latinidad can signal a politics grounded in shared struggles and histories rather than merely a mode of identification. In this way, ＜em＞Latinx Revolutionary Horizons＜/em＞ reads against current calls for cancelling latinidad based on its presumed anti-Black and anti-Indigenous framework. Instead, she examines the not-yet-here of latinidad to investigate the connection between the revolutionary history of the Americas and the creation of new genres in the hemisphere, from conversion narratives and dictator novels to neoslave narratives and testimonios.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By comparing colonialisms, she charts a revolutionary genealogy across a range of movements such as the Mexican Revolution, the Filipino People Power Revolution, resistance to Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, and the Cuban Revolution. In pairing nineteenth-century authors alongside contemporary Latinx ones, Hudson examines a longer genealogy of Latinx resistance while expanding its literary canon, from the works of Jos? Rizal and Martin Delany to those of Julia Alvarez, Jessica Hagedorn, and Leslie Marmon Silko. In imagining a truly transnational latinidad, ＜em＞Latinx Revolutionary Horizons＜/em＞ thus rewrites our understanding of the nationalist formations that continue to characterize Latinx Studies.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Sailing without Ahab Ecopoetic Travels【電子書籍】[ Steve Mentz ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Journey through uncharted literary waters and＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞explore Melville’s epic in bold new light＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Come sail with I.＜/p＞ ＜p＞We’re not taking the same trip, though you might recognize the familiar course. This time, the ＜em＞Pequod＜/em＞’s American voyage steers its course across the curvature of the Word Ocean without anyone at the helm. We are leaving one man and his madness on shore. Our ship overflows with glorious pluralityーmultiracial, visionary, queer, conflicted, polyphonic, playful, violent. But on this voyage something is different. Today we sail headless without any Captain. Instead of binding ourselves to the dismasted tyrant’s rage, the ship’s crew seeks only what we will find: currents teeming with life, a blue-watered alien globe, toothy cetacean smiles from vasty deeps. Treasures await those who sail without.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This cycle of one hundred thirty-eight poemsーone for each chapter in ＜em＞Moby-Dick＜/em＞, plus the Etymology, Extracts, and Epilogueーlaunches into oceanic chaos without the stabilizing mad focus of the Nantucket captain. Guided by waywardness and curiosity, these poems seek an alien ecopoetics of marine depths, the refraction of light, the taste of salt on skin. Directionless, these poems reach out to touch oceanic expanse and depth. It’s not an easy voyage, and not a certain one. It lures you forward. It has fixed its barbed hook in I.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sailing without means relinquishing goals, sleeping at the masthead, forgetting obsessions. I welcome you to trace wayward ways through these poems. Read them any way you canーback to front, at random, sideways, following the obscure promptings of your heart. It’s the turning that matters. It’s a blue wonder world that beckons.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The War In-Between Indexing a Visual Culture of Survival【電子書籍】[ Wendy Kozol ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Explores the ambiguities and contradictions that disrupt the assumed boundaries of battle zones＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Against the fabric of suffering that unfolds around more spectacular injuries and deaths, ＜em＞The War In-Between＜/em＞ studies visual depictions of banal, routine, or inscrutable aspects of militarized violence. Spaces of the in-between are both broader and much less visible than battlefields, even though struggles for survival arise out of the same conditions of structural violence. Visual artifacts including photographs, video, data visualizations, fabric art, and craft projects provide different vantage points on the quotidian impacts of militarism, whether it is the banality of everyday violence for non-combatants or the daily struggles of soldiers living with physical and emotional trauma.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Three interrelated concepts frame the book’s attempt to “stay” in the moment of looking at visual cultures of survival. First, the concept of the war in-between captures those interstitial spaces of war where violence and survival persist side-by-side. Second, this book expands the concept of indexicality to consider how images of the in-between rely on a range of indexical traces to produce alternative visualities about survival and endurance. Third, the book introduces an asymptotic analysis to explore the value in getting close to the diverse experiences that comprise the war in-between, even if the horizon line of experience is always just out of reach.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Exploring the capaciousness of survival reveals that there is more to feel and engage in war images than just mangled bodies, collapsing buildings, and industrialized death. ＜em＞The War In-Between＜/em＞, Kozol argues, offers not a better truth about war but an accounting of visualities that arise at the otherwise unthinkable junction of conflict and survival.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Audible Loss New Music and the Crisis of Memory【電子書籍】[ Andrea Zarafshon Moore ]

＜p＞＜strong＞An innovative and much-needed critical work on music and memorialization in relation to AIDS, 9/11, and anti-Black violence in America＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Music has long served as a powerful medium for communal mourning and remembrance in times of crisis. ＜em＞Audible Loss＜/em＞ examines musical responses to three major crises in US society at the turn of the twenty-first century: the AIDS epidemic, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the ongoing conditions of anti-Black violence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Analyzing a range of works written to commemorate these losses, Andrea Zarafshon Moore explores how contemporary classical music (aka “new music”) frames and narrates these crises, gives voice to grief, imagines other possibilities, and makes loss audible. These crises are read alongside one another to reveal the ways they are mutually imbricated, while also recognizing the sheer commemorative dominance of 9/11 in this century. Attending to broader debates and discourses through which commemoration is always filtered and the ways interpretive consensus has been sought and articulated in both musical and other memorial forms, Moore probes the conventional claims of commemoration, particularly those for the necessity of remembrance to “healing” and the prevention of future crises.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Audible Loss＜/em＞ concludes by reflecting on the limits of existing commemorative forms and the possibility, even necessity, of new ones. Taking the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study, it proposes that while memorials of all kinds may provide outlets for collective remembrance and even mourning, their power to forge a sense of collectivity is diminished as public discourse grows more fragmented. Deeply informed yet highly approachable, ＜em＞Audible Loss＜/em＞ is a major contribution to the fields of music and memory studies and essential reading for anyone interested in memory culture in the United States today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The American Art-Union Utopia and Skepticism in the Antebellum Era【電子書籍】[ Kimberly A. Orcutt ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The first comprehensive treatment in seventy years of the American Art-Union’s remarkable rise and fall＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For over a decade, the New York?based American Art-Union shaped art creation, display, and patronage nationwide. Boasting as many as 19,000 members from almost every state, its meteoric rise and its sudden and spectacular collapse still raise a crucial question: Why did such a successful and influential institution fail? ＜em＞The American Art-Union＜/em＞ reveals a sprawling and fascinating account of the country’s first nationwide artistic phenomenon, creating a shared experience of visual culture, art news and criticism, and a direct experience with original works.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For an annual fee of five dollars, members of the American Art-Union received an engraving after a painting by a notable US artist and the annual publication ＜em＞Transactions＜/em＞ (1839?49) and later the monthly ＜em＞Bulletin＜/em＞ (1848?53). Most importantly, members’ names were entered in a drawing for hundreds of original paintings and sculptures by most of the era’s best-known artists. Those artworks were displayed in its immensely popular Free Gallery. Unfortunately, the experiment was short-lived. Opposition grew, and a cascade of events led to an 1852 court case that proved to be the Art-Union’s downfall. Illuminating the workings of the American art market, this study fills a gaping lacuna in the history of nineteenth-century US art. Kimberly A. Orcutt draws from the American Art-Union’s records as well as in-depth contextual research to track the organization’s decisive impact that set the direction of the country’s paintings, sculpture, and engravings for well over a decade.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Forged in cultural crosscurrents of utopianism and skepticism, the American Art-Union’s demise can be traced to its nature as an attempt to create and control the complex system that the early nineteenth-century art world represented. This study breaks the organization’s activities into their major components to offer a structural rather than chronological narrative that follows mounting tensions to their inevitable end. The institution was undone not by dramatic outward events or the character of its leadership but by the character of its utopianist plan.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞A dramatic and necessary rethinking of the meaning of Democracy＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Democratic Anarchy＜/em＞ grapples with an uncomfortable but obvious truth inimical to democracy: both aesthetics and politics depend on the structuring antagonism of inclusion and exclusion. Yet in ＜em＞Democratic Anarchy＜/em＞, Matthew Scully asks, how can “the people” be represented in a way that acknowledges what remains unrepresentable? What would it mean to face up to the constitutive exclusions that haunt U.S. democracy and its anxious fantasies of equality?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Synthesizing a broad range of theoretical traditions and interlocutorsーincluding Lacan, Ranci?re, Edelman, and Hartmanー＜em＞Democratic Anarchy＜/em＞ polemically declares that there has never been, nor can there ever be, a realized democracy in the U.S. because democracy always depends on the hierarchical institution of a formal order by one part of the population over another. Engaging with an expansive corpus of American literature and art (Harriet Jacobs, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louis Zukofsky, Thomas Pynchon, Toni Morrison, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Nari Ward, Ocean Vuong, and Safiya Sinclair), ＜em＞Democratic Anarchy＜/em＞ argues that many liberal concepts and institutions are in fact structurally opposed to democratic equality because they depend on regulating what can appear and in what form.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By focusing on works that disrupt this regulatory impulse, Scully shows how rhetorical strategies of interruption, excess, and disorder figure the anarchic equality that inegalitarian fantasies of democracy disavow. ＜em＞Democratic Anarchy＜/em＞ develops a rigorous theory of equality that refuses to repeat the inequalities against which it positions itself, and it does so by turning to moments of resistanceーboth aesthetic and politicalーinaugurated by the equality that inheres in and antagonizes the order of things.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】American Patroness Marian Shrines and the Making of US Catholicism【電子書籍】[ Lloyd Barba, Assistant Professor ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A vital collection of interdisciplinary essays that illuminates the significance of Marian shrines and promises to teach scholars how to “read” them for decades to come.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞American Patroness: Marian Shrines and the Making of US Catholicism＜/em＞ is a collection of twelve essays that examine the historical and contemporary roles of Marian shrines in US Catholicism. The essays in this collection use historical, ethnographic, and comparative methods to explore how Catholics have used Marian devotion to make an imprint on the physical and religious landscape of the United States. Using the dynamic malleability of Marian shrines as a starting place for studying US Catholicism, each chapter reconsiders the American religious landscape from the perspective of a single shrine to Mary and asks: What does this shrine reveal about US Catholicism and about American religion?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each of the contributors in ＜em＞American Patroness＜/em＞ examines why and how Marian shrines persist in the twenty-first century and subsequently uses that examination to re-read contemporary US Catholicism. Because shrines are not neutral spacesーthey reflect and shape the elastic yet strict boundaries of what counts as Catholic identity, and who controls prayer practicesーthe studies in this collection also shed light on the contested dynamics of these holy sites. ＜em＞American Patroness＜/em＞ demonstrates that Marian shrines continue to be places where an American Catholic identity is continuously worked on, negotiations about power occur, and Marian relationships are fostered and nurtured in spaces that are simultaneously public and intimate.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Drinking Curriculum A Cultural History of Childhood and Alcohol【電子書籍】[ Elizabeth Marshall ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A lively exploration into America’s preoccupation with childhood innocence and its corruption＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Drinking Curriculum＜/em＞, Elizabeth Marshall brings the taboo topic of alcohol and childhood into the limelight. Marshall coins the term “the drinking curriculum” to describe how a paradoxical set of cultural lessons about childhood are fueled by adult anxieties and preoccupations. By analyzing popular and widely accessible texts in visual cultureーtemperance tracts, cartoons, film, advertisements, and public-service announcementsーMarshall demonstrates how youth are targets of mixed messages about intoxication. Those messages range from the overtly violent to the humorous, the moralistic to the profane. Offering a critical and, at times, irreverent analysis of dominant protectionist paradigms that sanctify childhood as implicitly innocent, ＜em＞The Drinking Curriculum＜/em＞ centers the graphic narratives our culture uses to teach about alcohol, the roots of these pictorial tales in the nineteenth century, and the discursive hangover we nurse into the twenty-first.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Intruder【電子書籍】[ Jean-Luc Nancy ]

＜p＞In 1991, Jean-Luc Nancy's heart gave out. In one of the first such procedures in France, a stranger's heart was grafted into his body. Numerous complications followed, including more surgeries and lymphatic cancer. The procedure and illnesses he endured revealed to him, in a more visceral way than most of us ever experience, the strangeness of bodily existence itself and surviving the stranger within him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During this same period, Europe began closing its borders to those seeking refuge from war and poverty. Alarmed at this trend and drawn to a highly intimate form of strangeness with which he had been living for years, Nancy set out in ＜em＞The Intruder＜/em＞ to articulate how intrusionーwhether of a body or a borderーis not antithetical to one’s identity but constitutive of it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 2004, Claire Denis adapted ＜em＞The Intruder＜/em＞ into a film already hailed among the most important of our century. This edition includes Nancy’s and Denis’s accounts of turning philosophy into film and the text of a shorter collaboration between the two of them. Throughout, Nancy and Denis push us to recognize that to truly welcome strangers means a constant struggle against exoticism, enforced assimilation, and confidence in our own self-identity.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞An innovative analysis of Indigenous strategies for overcoming the settler state.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞How do bureaucratic documents create and reproduce a state’s capacity to see? What kinds of worlds do documents help create? Further, how might such documentary practices and settler colonial ways of seeing be refused?＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Settler Colonial Ways of Seeing＜/em＞ investigates how the Canadian state has used documents, lists, and databases to generate, make visibleーand invisibleーIndigenous identity. With an archive of legislative documents, registration forms, identity cards, and reports, Danielle Taschereau Mamers traces the political and media history of Indian status in Canada, demonstrating how paperwork has been used by the state to materialize identity categories in the service of colonial governance. Her analysis of bureaucratic artifacts is led by the interventions of Indigenous artists, including Robert Houle, Nadia Myre, Cheryl L’Hirondelle, and Rebecca Belmore. Bringing together media theories of documentation and the strategies of these artists, ＜em＞Settler Colonial Ways of Seeing＜/em＞ develops a method for identifying how bureaucratic documents mediate power relations as well as how those relations may be disobeyed and re-imagined.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By integrating art-led inquiry with media theory and settler colonial studies approaches, Taschereau Mamers offers a political and media history of the documents that have reproduced Indian status. More importantly, she provides us with an innovative guide for using art as a method of theorizing decolonial political relations. This is a crucial book for any reader interested in the intersection of state archives, settler colonial studies, and visual culture in the context of Canada’s complex and violent relationship with Indigenous peoples.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

These poems chart the journey of an artist trying to escape cycles of dependency and reclaim lost self and identity. Drawing parallels to Harriet Tubman’s journey on the Underground Railroad, Sneed’s explorations of the woods are a metaphor and emotional path one must explore to attain self-ownership. Sneed’s poems are bound by the search for love, freedom, and justiceーfrom images of lesbian love to Emmet Till’s bloated body, they offer a raging cry and a roadmap for those interested in transforming the personal into social justice and abolitionist practices.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Aeffect The Affect and Effect of Artistic Activism【電子書籍】[ Stephen Duncombe ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The first book to seriously identify how artistic activism works and how to make it work better＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The past decade has seen an explosion in the hybrid practice of “artistic activism,” as artists have turned toward activism to make their work more socially impactful and activists have adopted techniques and perspectives from the arts to make their interventions more creative. Yet questions haunt the practice: Does artistic activism work aesthetically? Does it work politically? And what does “working” even mean when one combines art and activism? In ＜em＞?ffect＜/em＞, author Stephen Duncombe sets out to address these questions at the heart of the field of artistic activism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written by the co-founder and current Research Director of the internationally recognized Center for Artistic Activism, ＜em＞?ffect＜/em＞ draws on Duncombe’s more than twenty-five years of experience in the field and one hundred in-depth interviews with artistic activists worldwide. More than a mere academic exercise, the theory, research, and tools in this book lay the groundwork for artistic activists to evaluate and strengthen their practice and to create better projects. The exploration of good artistic activism is grounded in three sets of concerns. 1) Change: Upon what theories of change is artistic activism based? 2) Intention: What do we hope and expect artistic activism to do, and how does it do this? 3) Evaluation: What actually happens as the result of an artistic activist intervention? Can it be measured?＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞?ffect＜/em＞ is rich with examples that demonstrate successful artistic activism, including ＜em＞Undocubus＜/em＞, an old bus painted “No Fear” across its side that was driven cross-country by a group of undocumented immigrant activists; ＜em＞Journal Rapp?＜/em＞, a video show created by Senegalese rappers who created long-form investigative reports by rapping the current news in French and Wolof; and ＜em＞War on Smog＜/em＞, a staged a public performance piece by artistic activists in the city of Chongqing in Southwest China.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Casablanca's Conscience【電子書籍】[ Robert Weldon Whalen ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A new look at a beloved classic film that explores the philosophical dynamics of ＜em＞Casablanca＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Celebrating its eightieth anniversary this year, ＜em＞Casablanca＜/em＞ remains one of the world’s most enduringly favorite movies. It won three Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It is still commonly quoted: “We’ll always have Paris” and “Here’s looking at you, kid” And who can forget, “You must remember this…a kiss is just a kiss.” Yet no one expected much to come of this little film, certainly not its blockbuster stars or even the studio producing it. So how did this hastily cranked-out 1940s film, despite its many limitations, become one of the greatest films ever made? How is it that year after year, decade after decade, it continues to appear in the lists of the greatest movies ever produced? And why do audiences still weep when Rick and Ilsa part? The answer, according to ＜em＞Casablanca’s Conscience＜/em＞, is to paraphrase Rick, “It’s true.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Much has already been written about the film and the career-defining performances of Bogart and Bergman. ＜em＞Casablanca＜/em＞ is an epic tale of love, betrayal, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of World War II. Yet decades later, it continues to capture the imagination of filmgoers. In ＜em＞Casablanca’s Conscience＜/em＞, author Robert Weldon Whalen explains why it still resonates so deeply. Applying a new lens to an old classic, Whalen focuses on the film’s timeless themesーExile, Purgatory, Irony, Love, Resistance, and Memory. He then engages the fictional charactersーRick, Ilsa, and the othersーagainst the philosophical and theological discourse of their real contemporaries, Hannah Arendt, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Albert Camus. The relationships between fictional and historical persons illuminate both the film’s era as well as perennial human concerns. Both the film and the work of the philosophers explore dimensions of the human experience, which, while extreme, are familiar to everyone. It’s the themes that resonate with the viewer, that have sustained it as an evergreen classic all these years.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Topothesia Planning, Colonialism, and Places in Excess【電子書籍】[ Ameeth Vijay ]

＜p＞＜strong＞SHORTLISTED, 2024 MSA FIRST BOOK PRIZE＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Topothesia＜/em＞ reads urban planning as a mode of speculative fiction, one inextricably linked to histories of British colonialism and liberalism through a particular understanding of ＜em＞place＜/em＞. The book focuses on town planning from the late nineteenth century to the present day, showing how the contemporary geography of Britainーsharply unequal and marked by racial divisionーcontinues ideologies of place established in colonial contexts. Specifically, planning allows for the speculative construction of future places that are both utopian in their ability to resolve political disagreement and at the same tantalizingly realizable, able to be produced in concrete reality. This speculative imaginary, I argue, is only possible within the ideological framework of colonialism and the history of empire within which it developed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Topothesia refers to a rhetorical device employing the vivid depiction of an often-imaginary place. This device, Vijay shows, helps us understand urban planning as a narrative genre, one that, even in its most mundane documents, is compelled to produce elaborate fantasies of future places. The book examines specific planning movements over time to understand the form and the stakes of their speculative worlds. In building these worlds, the book shows, planners continually coopted literary critiques of the present and reveries of the future, retaining literature's aesthetics while eschewing its politics. At the same time, Vijay shows, writers and artists have dwelled within and against these colonial imaginaries to seek other means of representing place.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Reporting World War II【電子書籍】[ Steven Casey ]

＜p＞This set of essays offers new insights into the journalistic process and the pressures American front-line reporters experienced covering World War II. Transmitting stories through cable or couriers remained expensive and often required the cooperation of foreign governments and the American armed forces. Initially, reporters from a neutral America documented the early victories by Nazi Germany and the Soviet invasion of Finland. Not all journalists strove for objectivity. During her time reporting from Ireland, Helen Kirkpatrick remained a fierce critic of that country’s neutrality. Once the United States joined the fight after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, American journalists supported the struggle against the Axis powers, but this volume will show that reporters, even when members of the army sponsored newspaper, ＜em＞Stars and Stripes＜/em＞ were not mere ciphers of the official line.＜/p＞ ＜p＞African American reporters Roi Ottley and Ollie Stewart worked to bolster the morale of Black GIs and undermined the institutional racism endemic to the American war effort. Women front-line reporters are given their due in this volume examining the struggles to overcome gender bias by describing triumphs of Th?r?se Mabel Bonney, Iris Carpenter, Lee Carson, and Anne Stringer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The line between public relations and journalism could be a fine one as reflected by the U.S. Marine Corps’ creating its own network of Marine correspondents who reported on the Pacific island campaigns and had their work published by American media outlets. Despite the pressures of censorship, the best American reporters strove for accuracy in reporting the facts even when dependent on official communiqu?s issued by the military. Many wartime reporters, even when covering major turning points, sought to embrace a reporting style that recorded the experiences of average soldiers. Often associated with Ernie Pyle and Bill Mauldin, the embrace of the human-interest story served as one of the enduring legacies of the conflict.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite the importance of American war reporting in shaping perceptions of the war on the home front as well as shaping the historical narrative of the conflict, this work underscores how there is more to learn. Readers will gain from this work a new appreciation of the contribution of American journalists in writing the first version of history of the global struggle against Nazi Germany, imperial Japan, and fascist Italy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Group Works Art, Politics, and Collective Ambivalence【電子書籍】[ Ethan Philbrick ]

＜p＞＜strong＞An exciting new reflection on the role of artistic collaboration, collectivism, and the politics of group formation in the neoliberal era.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The artist and author Ethan Philbrick’s ＜em＞Group Works＜/em＞ re-imagines the group by undertaking an historiographic archaeology of group aesthetics and politics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written against both phobic and romantic accounts of collectivity, ＜em＞Group Works＜/em＞ contends that the group emerges as a medium for artists when established forms of collective life break down. Philbrick pairs group pieces in dance, literature, film, and music from the 1960s and 1970s downtown Manhattan scene alongside a series of recent group experiments: Simone Forti’s dance construction, ＜em＞Huddle＜/em＞ (1961), is put into relation with contemporary re-performances of Forti’s score and huddling as a feminist political tactic; Samuel Delany’s memoir of communal living, ＜em＞Heavenly Breakfast: An Essay on the Winter of Love＜/em＞ (1969/78), speaks to performance artist Morgan Bassichis’s 2017 communal musical adaptation of Larry Mitchell’s 1977 text, ＜em＞The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions＜/em＞; Lizzie Borden’s experimental documentary of feminist collectivity, ＜em＞Regrouping＜/em＞ (1976), sits alongside visual artist Sharon Hayes’s 2014 piece on Manhattan’s Pier 54, ＜em＞Women of the World Unite! they said＜/em＞; and Julius Eastman’s insurgent piece of chamber music for four pianos, ＜em＞Gay Guerrilla＜/em＞ (1979), resonates alongside contemporary projects that take up Eastman’s legacy by artists such as Tiona Nekkia McClodden.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By analyzing works that articulate the politics of race, gender, and sexuality as questions of group formation, Philbrick approaches the group not as a stable, idealizable entity but as an ambivalent way to negotiate and contest shifting terms of associational life. ＜em＞Group Works＜/em＞ presents an engaging exploration of what happens when small groups become a material and medium for artistic and political experimentation.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Nine Irish Plays for Voices【電子書籍】[ Eamon Grennan ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A vibrant collection of short plays bringing Irish history and culture alive through an extraordinary collage of documents, songs, poems, and texts.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Nine Irish Plays for Voices＜/em＞, award-winning poet Eamon Grennan delves deep into key Irish subjectsーbig, small, literary, historical, political, biographicalーand illuminates them for today’s audiences and readers. These short plays draw from original material centering on important moments in Irish history and the formation of the Irish Republic, such as the Great Famine and the Easter Rising; the lives of Irish literary figures like Yeats, Joyce, and Lady Gregory; and the crucial and life-changing condition of emigration.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The rhythmic, musical, and vivid language of Grennan’s plays incorporates traditional song lyrics, lines of Irish poetry, and letters and speeches of the time. The result is a dramatic collage that tells a story through the voices of characters contemporary to the period of the play’s subject. By presenting subjects through the dramatic rendering of the human voice, the plays facilitate a close, intimate relationship between players and the audience, creating an incredibly powerful connection to the past. Historical moments and literary figures that might seem remote to the present-day reader or audience become immediate and emotionally compelling.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One of the plays, ＜em＞Ferry＜/em＞, is drawn entirely from the author’s imagination. It puts unnamed characters who come from the world of twentieth-century Ireland on a boat to the underworld with the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. On their journey the five strangers, played by two voices, tell stories about their lives, raising the question of how language both captures and transforms lived experience. Addressing the Great Famine, ＜em＞Hunger＜/em＞ uses documentary evidence to give audiences a dramatic feel for what has been a silent and traumatic element in Irish history. ＜em＞Noramollyannalivialucia: The Muse and Mr. Joyce＜/em＞ is a one-woman piece that depicts James Joyce’s wife as an older woman sharing her memories and snippets from the works of her husband. Also included in this rich volume is the author’s adaptation of Synge’s ＜em＞Aran Islands＜/em＞, as well as ＜em＞Emigration Road＜/em＞, ＜em＞History!
