新しい本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書Boys Don't Cry - Chase Joynt (McGill-Queen's University Press) 【紙書籍】 9780228010821

タイトル: Boys Don't Cry著者: Chase Joynt出版社: McGill-Queen's University Press出版日: 2022年06月15日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Hailed as groundbreaking upon its original release, the Oscar-winning film Boys Don't Cry offered the first mainstream access to transmasculine embodiment in North America, one that many simultaneously celebrated and rejected. More than two decades after its original release, the film has become a lightning rod for contemporary debates about the representation of trans lives and deaths on screen. Representational possibilities for trans people have changed dramatically since 1999. Morgan Page and Chase Joynt approach the accumulated tension with a spirit of curiosity about the limits of these historical returns. They argue that new visibilities of transness on screen require us to re-engage earlier portrayals: Boys Don't Cry is central to conversations about casting, violence against gender non-conforming people, and the borders between butch and trans identities. Acknowledging a younger generation of queer and trans people who are straining against the images foisted upon them, including this film's egregious violence, and an older cohort for whom it remains a formative, if complicated, touchstone, Joynt and Page revisit the original contexts of production and distribution to unsettle the overdetermined ways the work has been understood and interpreted. Boys Don't Cry ultimately relocates the film in a way that attends to the story's violence and values, both on and off screen.

Through the Fire【電子書籍】[ Puma life ]

【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!】Through the Fire【電子書籍】[ Puma life ]

<p>Craig used to believe that quiet meant safe. As a security officer in a small town, he spent his nights watching other people's chaos from a distance, going home to a woman he loved but could never fully open up to. Tamara was his oppositeーwarm, talkative, a peer support worker who spent her days helping broken people find hope and her nights stocking shelves at Circle K to keep their family afloat. Together they scraped by, raising their children in a 1,600?square?foot house with cars scattered across the yard, a symbol of Craig's unfinished projects and failed business dreams.When Craig enrolls in college to "finally make something" of himself, the pressure to succeed becomes unbearable. Quiet insecurity turns into sleepless nights, and sleepless nights turn into drugsーfirst to take the edge off, then to survive the shame of feeling like a failure. As meth, heroin, crack, and cocaine flood his system, Craig's mind begins to fracture. Psychosis wraps around his thoughts until he is pacing the halls with a gun, seeing threats where there are none, convinced he's protecting the family he is actually tearing apart.One night, after telling Tamara he's going to do what he wants, Craig steps outside and fires his gun inside city limits. The police come. Tamara covers for him, but the look in her eyes changes from love to fear. When she later tells him she is dying, Craig can't cope. He runs further into the dark web and into harder drugs, until paranoia and rage explode into a violent fight that sends the children fleeing with their grandmother, Gennie, and leaves Tamara struck and terrified, unsure if his fist or his gun made contact. Craig barely remembers the moment himself. What follows is a downward spiral of broken windows, condo break?ins, and a brutal clash with the police that finally lands him in prison, hated by Tamara's family and disowned by his own kids, Karissa and Afton.Behind bars, stripped of excuses and distractions, Craig begins to see the wreckage he created. He writes letters he never sends, attends AA and NA meetings just to get out of his cell, and slowly discovers that his lifelong silence, social struggles, and extreme reactions were rooted in undiagnosed autism that drugs turned into full?blown psychosis. The diagnosis doesn't erase what he's done, but it gives him a language for the storm inside his headーand a starting point for change.When he is finally released, Craig has nothing left but a fragile commitment to sobriety. In a big city far from the small town he destroyed, he earns his peer support certificate, joins recovery fellowships, and builds a small business helping others climb out of the same pit that almost killed him. Two years clean, he can walk past the beer aisle without craving; the smell now makes him sick instead of hungry. Just when life starts to stabilize, an email arrivesーfrom Tamara. She has seen his efforts from afar. She isn't promising forgiveness or reunion, but she is willing to listen.Through the Fire follows Craig as he tries to live a life worthy of the family he lost: offering amends instead of excuses, honoring old promises in new ways, and accepting that some scars may never fully heal. It is a story for anyone who has ever burned their life to the ground and wondered if a future was still possible in the ashes.</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。

Red Gloves【電子書籍】[ Rebecca Watts ]

【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!】Red Gloves【電子書籍】[ Rebecca Watts ]

<p>In this follow-up to her acclaimed debut The Met Office Advises Caution, Rebecca Watts observes and tests the limits of humanity's engagement with the non-human. By turns lyrical and narrative, the poems examine familiar subjects ? environmental crisis, hawks, hospitals, the sea, barbecues, flowers, Emily Dickinson ? only to find their subjects staring, sometimes fighting, back. Nature and nurture, equally red in tooth and claw, power a book-long sparring match between the overthinking poet and the ever-thoughtless universe, between the craft's isolation and the world's irrepressible variety. Gloves on and gloves off, the poet's hands destroy and build, gather and scatter, caress and strike.</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。

Limited Shakespeare The Reason of Finitude【電子書籍】[ Juli?n Jim?nez Heffernan ]

【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!】Limited Shakespeare The Reason of Finitude【電子書籍】[ Juli?n Jim?nez Heffernan ]

<p>Shakespeare’s poetic-dramatic worlds are inescapably limited. There is always, in his poems and plays, a force (a contingent drive, a pre-textual undertow, a rational-critical momentum, an ironic stance, the deflections of error) coercing plot and meaning to their end. By examining the work of limits in the sonnets and in five of his plays, this book seeks not only to highlight the poet’s steadfast commitment to critical rationality. It also aims to plead a case of hermeneutic continence. Present-day appraisals of Shakespeare’s world-making and meaning-projecting potential are often overruled by a neo-romantic and phenomenological celebration of plenty. This pre-critical tendency unwittingly obtains epistemic legitimation from philosophical quarters inspired by Alain Badiou’s derisive rejection of "the pathos of finitude". But finitude is much more than a modish, neo-existentialist, watchword. It is what is left of ontology when reason is done. And cool reason was already at work before Kant. In accounting for the way in which Shakespeare places limits to life (<em>Romeo and Juliet</em>), to experience (<em>The Tempest</em>), to love (the <em>Sonnets</em>), to time (<em>Macbeth</em>), to the world (<em>Hamlet</em>) and to knowledge (<em>Othello</em>), <em>Limited Shakespeare: The Reason of Finitude</em> aims to underscore the deeply mediated dimension of Shakespearean experience, always over-determined by the twin forces of contingency and textual determinism, and his meta-rational and virtually ironic taste for irrational, accidental, and error-driven limits (bonds, bounds, deaths).</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。

Roanoke Island's Boating Heritage【電子書籍】[ R. Wayne Gray ]

【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!】Roanoke Island's Boating Heritage【電子書籍】[ R. Wayne Gray ]

<p>Those fortunate enough to live on Roanoke Island have always depended on boats. In exploration-era sketches, Native American Algonquins were depicted in their dugout canoes. English settlers took the native concept a step further, developing kunners and, later, periaugers. Sloops and schooners made it possible to trade with far-off lands. Shad boats allowed fishermen to catch enough fresh product to ship to northern markets. Shrimp boats, crab boats, and trawlers brought about a new level of financial independence. Charter boats went past the limits of sound waters to the deep sea, carrying sport fishermen who were ready to pay for the chance to land a Gulf Stream trophy. Today's luxury yachts would boggle the minds of 20th-century backyard boatbuilders. Whether the need for a boat was transportation, subsistence fishing, making a living, or recreation, boatbuilding became a skill many residents picked up out of necessity. This skill matured into a trait that many believe runs deep in the genetic makeup of the local population.</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。

Rise My Story【電子書籍】[ Lindsey Vonn ]

【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!】Rise My Story【電子書籍】[ Lindsey Vonn ]

<p><strong>The first ever memoir from the most decorated female skier of all time, revealing never-before-told stories of her life in the fast lane, her struggle with depression, and the bold decisions that helped her break down barriers on and off the slopes.</strong></p> <p><strong>82 World Cup wins. 20 World Cup titles. 3 Olympic medals. 7 World Championship Medals.</strong></p> <p>A fixture in the American sports landscape for almost twenty years, Lindsey Vonn is a legend. With a career that spanned a transformation in how America recognizes and celebrates female athletes, Vonnーwho retired in 2019 as the most decorated American skier of all timeーwas in the vanguard of that change, helping blaze a trail for other world-class female athletes and reimagining what it meant to pursue speed at all costs.</p> <p>In <em>Rise</em>, Vonn shares her incredible journey for the first time, going behind the scenes of a badass life built around resilience and risk-taking. One of the most aggressive skiers ever, Vonn offers a fascinating glimpse into the relentless pursuit of her limits, a pursuit so focused on one-upping herself that she pushed her body past its breaking point as she achieved greatness. While this iconic grit and perseverance helped her battle a catalog of injuries, these injuries came with a costーphysical, of course, but also mental. Vonn opens up about her decades-long depression and struggles with self-confidence, discussing candidly how her mental health challenges influenced her career without defining her.</p> <p>Through it all, she dissects the moments that sidelined her and how, each time, she clawed her way back using an iconoclastic approach rooted in hard workーpushing boundaries, challenging expectations, and speaking her mind, even when it got her into trouble. At once empowering and raw, <em>Rise</em> is an inspirational look at her hard-fought success as well as an honest appraisal of the sacrifices she made along the wayーan emotional journey of winning that understands all too well that every victory comes with a price.</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。

Space and Muslim Urban Life At the Limits of the Labyrinth of Fez【電子書籍】[ Simon O'Meara ]

【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!】Space and Muslim Urban Life At the Limits of the Labyrinth of Fez【電子書籍】[ Simon O'Meara ]

<p>This book develops academic understanding of Muslim urban space by pursuing the structural logic of the premodern Arab-Muslim city, or medina. With particular reference to <em>The Book of Walls</em>, an historical discourse of Islamic law whose primary subject is the wall, the book determines the meaning of a wall and then uses it to analyze the space of Fez.</p> <p>One of a growing number of studies to address space as a category of critical analysis, the book makes the following contributions to scholarship. Methodologically, it breaks with the tradition of viewing Islamic architecture as a well-defined object observed by a specialist at an aesthetically directed distance; rather, it inhabits the logic of this architecture by rethinking it discursively from within the culture that produced it. Hermeneutically, it sheds new light on one of North Africa's oldest medinas, and thereby illuminates a type of environment still common to much of the Arab-Muslim world. Empirically, it brings to the attention of mainstream scholarship a legal discourse and aesthetic that contributed to the form and longevity of this type of environment; and it exposes a preoccupation with walls and other limits in premodern urban Arab-Muslim culture, and a mythical paradigm informing the foundation narratives of a number of historic medinas.</p> <p>Presenting a fresh perspective for the understanding of Muslim urban society and thought, this innovative study will be of interest to students and researchers of Islamic studies, architecture and sociology.</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。

Something in the Air Radio, Rock, and the Revolution That Shaped a Generation【電子書籍】[ Marc Fisher ]

【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!】Something in the Air Radio, Rock, and the Revolution That Shaped a Generation【電子書籍】[ Marc Fisher ]

<p>A sweeping, anecdotal account of the great sounds and voices of radio?and how it became a bonding agent for a generation of American youth</p> <p>When television became the next big thing in broadcast entertainment, everyone figured video would kill the radio star?and radio, period. But radio came roaring back with a whole new concept. The war was over, the baby boom was on, the country was in clover, and a bold new beat was giving the syrupy songs of yesteryear a run for their money. Add transistors, 45 rpm records, and a young man named Elvis to the mix, and the result was the perfect storm that rocked, rolled, and reinvented radio.</p> <p>Visionary entrepreneurs like Todd Storz pioneered the Top 40 concept, which united a generation. But it took trendsetting “disc jockeys” like Alan Freed, Murray the K, Wolfman Jack, Cousin Brucie, and their fast-talking, too-cool-for-school counterparts across the land to turn time, temperature, and the same irresistible hit tunes played again and again into the ubiquitous sound track of the fifties and sixties. The Top 40 sound broke through racial barriers, galvanized coming-of-age kids (and scandalized their perplexed parents), and provided the insistent, inescapable backbeat for times that were a-changin’.</p> <p>Along with rock-and-roll music came the attitude that would literally change the “voice” of radio forever, via the likes of raconteur Jean Shepherd, who captivated his loyal following of “Night People”; the inimitable Bob Fass, whose groundbreaking Radio Unnameable inaugurated the anything-goes free-form style that would come to define the alternative frontier of FM; and a small-time Top 40 deejay who would ultimately find national fame as a political talk-show host named Rush Limbaugh.</p> <p>From Hunter Hancock, who pushed beyond the limits of 1950s racial segregation with rhythm and blues and hepcat patter, to Howard Stern, who blew through all the limits with a blue streak of outrageous on-air antics; from the heyday of summer songs that united carefree listeners to the latter days of political talk that divides contentious callers; from the haze of classic rock to the latest craze in hip-hop, <em>Something in the Air</em> chronicles the extraordinary evolution of the unique and timeless medium that captured our hearts and minds, shook up our souls, tuned in?and turned on?our consciousness, and went from being written off to rewriting the rules of pop culture.</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>Discover the works of Joe Brainard, whose quirky style earned him a reputation as a “recognizable American phenomenon” and “oddball classicist”ーwith a foreword by <em>4321</em> author Paul Auster (John Ashbery)</strong></p> <p>An artist associated with the New York School of poets, Joe Brainard (1942-1994) was a wonderful writer whose one-of-a-kind autobiographical work <em>I Remember</em> has had a wide and growing influence. It is joined in this major new retrospective with many other pieces that for the first time present the full range of Brainard's writing in all its deadpan wit, madcap inventiveness, self-revealing frankness, and generosity of spirit. <em>The Collected Writings of Joe Brainard</em> gathers intimate journals, jottings, stories, one-liners, comic strips, mini-essays, and short plays, many of them available until now only as expensive rarities, if at all.</p> <p>“Brainard disarms us with the seemingly tossed-off, spontaneous nature of his writing and his stubborn refusal to accede to the pieties of self-importance,” writes Paul Auster in the introduction to this collection. “These little works . . . are not really about anything so much as what it means to be young, that hopeful, anarchic time when all horizons are open to us and the future appears to be without limits.”</p> <p>Assembled by the author’s longtime friend and biographer Ron Padgett and including fourteen previously unpublished works, here is a fresh and affordable way to rediscover a unique American artist.</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。

Everyday Evil in Stephen King's America Essays, Images, Paratexts【電子書籍】

【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!】Everyday Evil in Stephen King's America Essays, Images, Paratexts【電子書籍】

<p>This edited collection variously interrogates how everyday evil manifests in Stephen King’s now-familiar American imaginary; an imaginary that increases the representational limits of both anticipated and experienced realism. Divided into three parts: I. The Man, II. The Monster, and III. The Re-mediator, the book offers rigorous readings of evil, realism, and popular culture as represented in a range of texts (and paratexts) from the King canon. Rich with images, a photo-essay, and appendices collecting classical texts and cultural detritus germane to King, this book moves away from viewing King’s work primarily through the lens of the “American gothic” and toward the realism that the suspense novelist’s voice (fictional and non-) and influence (literary and popular) indelibly continue to amplify, all the while complicating the traditional divide between serious literature and popular fiction.</p> <p>Stephen King remains perpetually popular. And he is finally receiving the academic treatment he has craved since the early 1980s. Yet still unexamined in the King critical canon is the suspense novelist’s fascination with “everyday evil.” Beyond rigorous interrogations of King’s fictional depictions of “everyday evil” by an array of scholars of different ranks living around the world (Canada, Finland, Hong Kong, the UK), the book, replete with 20 images, considers how King widens the parameters of literary production and appreciation. An integral part of the Americana that King’s five-decades-in-the-making canon configures, of course, includes King himself. King has long made use of self-referentiality in his fiction and nonfiction. Some of his nonfiction, several of our essays reveal, recirculates in paratextual form as “Prefatory Remarks” to new novels or new editions of older ones. The paratexts considered here (both across the volume and in the appendices) offer alternate ways by which to appreciate King and his sphere of influence (literary and popular). Said appendices are a grouping of King's paratexts on his writing as Bachman, appearing here, for the first time, as a cohesive collection. King's influence took off in the 1970s, as is further explored in the book-enveloping three-part photo-essay “King’s America, America’s King: Stephen King & Popular Culture since the 1970s.” About the transformative quality of “everyday evil,” the photo-essay tracks the cultural impacts of King first as an emerging author, then a pop culture phenomenon, and, finally, as an established American literary voice.</p> <p><em>Everyday Evil in Stephen King's America</em> is designed to appeal to teachers and students of American literature, to Stephen King enthusiasts, as well as to acolytes of Americana since the Vietnam War.</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>From the author of <em>The Fifth Avenue Artists Society</em> comes this unforgettable historical novel based on the founding of the country's first sororities.</p> <p>Illinois, 1881: Whitsitt College sophomore Beth Carrington has two goals to fulfill by the time she graduates: obtain a medical degree, and establish a women s fraternity, Beta Xi Beta, that will help young women like herself to connect with and support one another while attending the male-dominated Whitsitt.</p> <p>Neither is an easy task. The sole female student in the physicians program, Beth is constantly called out by her professors and peers for having the audacity not to concentrate on a more fitting subject like secretarial studies. Meanwhile, secret organizations are off-limits, and simply by crowding together in a dank basement room and creating a sense of camaraderie, she and her small group of fraternity sisters risk expulsion.</p> <p>In order to have the fraternity recognized, she knows she needs help. She turns to the most powerful student on campus: senior Grant Richardson, Iota Gamma fraternity president and the scion of a Whitsitt family-a man she s only acquainted with because of her longstanding friendship with his fraternity brother Will Buchannan. Staunchly traditional, Grant doesn t see the purpose of this women s organization, but captivated by Beth, he agrees to give her a helping hand. What she doesn t know is how many will stop at nothing to keep her burgeoning organization out of the record books-and who she can actually trust along the way.</p> <p>As Beth fights for her beloved Beta Xi Beta to be recognized, she will uncover deep secrets about the college and those who surround her, and will have to put both love and friendship on the line so that history can be made.</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。

Hollywood Sports Movies and the American Dream【電子書籍】[ Grant Wiedenfeld ]

【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!】Hollywood Sports Movies and the American Dream【電子書籍】[ Grant Wiedenfeld ]

<p>Through the heart of Hollywood cinema runs an unexpected current of progressive politics. Sports movies, a genre that has flourished since the mid-seventies, evoke the American dream and therefore represent the nation to itself in idealized form. Once considered mere credos for Reaganism's fantasies of an atomized society, movies from <em>Rocky</em> (1976) to <em>Ali</em> (2001) dream of democratic participation and recognition more than individual success, for in every case, off-field relationships take precedence over on-field competition. Arranged chronologically, <em>Hollywood Sports Films and the American Dream</em> is a critical study of six major sports films that re-tells the story of multiculturalism's gradual adoption in the latter third of the 20th century and rewrites contemporary understandings of the sports film. For author <strong>Grant Wiedenfeld</strong>, the mainstream's first minority heroes are paradoxically white ethnic, rural, working-class men, exemplified by <em>Rocky</em>, <em>Slap Shot</em> (1977) and <em>The Natural</em> (1984) and Black, brown, and women characters follow in <em>White Men Can't Jump</em> (1992), <em>A League of Their Own</em> (1992), and <em>Ali</em>. But despite their insistence on community and diversity these popular dramas show limited faith in civic institutions and point to the limits of inclusion and participation in the post-Civil Rights era. Hannah Arendt, Jeffrey Alexander, and others inform Wiedenfeld's original analysis and commentary on the political significance of popular culture as he insists on the cinema's capabilities as an engine for democracy untethered from more conventional 'democratic' institutions. Reading these familiar movies from another angle paints a fresh picture of how the United States has imagined democracy since its bicentennial and renews the political efficacy of one of the most popular genres in film history.</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。

Chaucer and the Subversion of Form【電子書籍】

【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!】Chaucer and the Subversion of Form【電子書籍】

<p>Responding to the lively resurgence of literary formalism, this volume delivers a timely and fresh exploration of the works of Geoffrey Chaucer. Advancing 'new formalist' approaches, medieval scholars have begun to ask what happens when structure fails to yield meaning, probing the very limits of poetic organization. While Chaucer is acknowledged as a master of form, his work also foregrounds troubling questions about formal agency: the disparate forces of narrative and poetic practice, readerly reception, intertextuality, genre, scribal attention, patronage, and historical change. This definitive collection of essays offers diverse perspectives on Chaucer and a varied analysis of these problems, asking what happens when form is resisted by author or reader, when it fails by accident or by design, and how it can be misleading, errant, or even dangerous.</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。

Now that Billie has disappearedーleaving behind her disastrous apartment, her phone, and a mysterious messageーa frantic chase ensues, pushing their unshakable bond to its limits.</p> <p>From the celebrated author of <em>The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble</em> and co-author of <em>The Drowning Girls</em>, Beth Graham’s <em>Mermaid Legs</em> tells the story of a precarious life fluctuating between calm and chaos, and those on the sidelines desperately trying to catch up.

Beyond Aesthetics Art and the Technologies of Enchantment【電子書籍】

【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!】Beyond Aesthetics Art and the Technologies of Enchantment【電子書籍】

<p>The anthropology of art is currently at a crossroads. Although well versed in the meaning of art in small-scale tribal societies, anthropologists are still wrestling with the question of how to interpret art in a complex, post-colonial environment. Alfred Gell recently confronted this problem in his posthumous book Art and Agency. The central thesis of his study was that art objects could be seen, not as bearers of meaning or aesthetic value, but as forms mediating social action. At a stroke, Gell provocatively dismissed many longstanding but tired questions of definition and issues of aesthetic value. His book proposed a novel perspective on the roles of art in political practice and made fresh links between analyses of style, tradition and society. Offering a new overview of the anthropology of art, this book begins where Gell left off. Presenting wide-ranging critiques of the limits of aesthetic interpretation, the workings of objects in practice, the relations between meaning and efficacy and the politics of postcolonial art, its distinguished contributors both elaborate on and dissent from the controversies of Gells important text. Subjects covered include music and the internet as well as ethnographic traditions and contemporary indigenous art. Geographically its case studies range from India to Oceania to North America and Europe.</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。

Television Histories Shaping Collective Memory in the Media Age【電子書籍】

【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!】Television Histories Shaping Collective Memory in the Media Age【電子書籍】

<p>From Ken Burns's documentaries to historical dramas such as Roots, from A&E's Biography series to CNN, television has become the primary source for historical information for tens of millions of Americans today. Why has television become such a respected authority? What falsehoods enter our collective memory as truths? How is one to know what is real and what is imaginedーor ignoredーby producers, directors, or writers?</p> <p>Gary Edgerton and Peter Rollins have collected a group of essays that answer these and many other questions. The contributors examine the full spectrum of historical genres, but also institutions such as the History Channel and production histories of such series as <em>The Jack Benny Show</em>, which ran for fifteen years. The authors explore the tensions between popular history and professional history, and the tendency of some academics to declare the past "off limits" to nonscholars. Several of them point to the tendency for television histories to embed current concerns and priorities within the past, as in such popular shows as <em>Quantum Leap</em> and <em>Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman</em>. The result is an insightful portrayal of the power television possesses to influence our culture.</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 Intangibilities of Form Skill and Deskilling in Art after the Readymade【電子書籍】[ John Roberts ]

<p>In this intellectually wide-ranging book John Roberts develops a labor theory of culture as a model for explaining the dynamics of avant-garde art and the expansion of artistic authority in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.<br /> From Duchamp to Warhol, conceptual art, and the "post-visual" practices of the moment, Roberts explores the relationship between artistic labor and productive labor, and the limits and possibilities of authorship. In doing so, he confronts a recurring theme of both conservative and radical detractors of modern art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: how is skill, and the seeming absence of skill in modern art, to be theorized and evaluated? Drawing on cognitive psychology, labor process theory, social anthropology, and debates in contemporary political philosophy, Roberts' book establishes a new critical topography for examining the cultural form of art 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。

Contemporary Representations of Forced Migration in Europe Beyond Regime and Refuge【電子書籍】

【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!】Contemporary Representations of Forced Migration in Europe Beyond Regime and Refuge【電子書籍】

<p>This book engages with current debates around refugeedom by examining cultural production that represents and interrogates the construction of refugees and the refugee experience on the borders of contemporary Europe. The refugee subject is produced by discursive regimes and border practices inherited from colonial projects that construct the diametrically opposed concepts of citizen and refugee, and their attendant administrative sub-categories. In the early twenty-first century these categories have been strengthened by the politicisation of forced migration and the hardening of ‘Fortress Europe’.</p> <p>While the predominant response to the increasing numbers of refugees seeking asylum in Europe has been to harden the borders (regime), on the one hand, or to stress the common humanity of those displaced (refuge), on the other, this volume argues that both approaches result in refugees becoming objectified, othered, and abstracted as vectors ofexile. It explores what recent cultural production can achieve in engaging with and representing issues of dispossession, detention and resettlement, and probes the limits of artistic potential to mediate the refugee experience. It examines transnational approaches to cultural production that both occupy and exceed the borders of Europe, with a focus on borderscapes, spaces of detention, and (neo-)colonialism. Bringing together original contributions from an international range of scholars, it analyses contemporary textual and visual representations of forced migration to argue that other forms of solidarity and hospitality towards refugees in Europe and beyond must be possible.</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。

Harlem World How Hip Hop's Super Showdown Changed Music Forever【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Mael ]

【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!】Harlem World How Hip Hop's Super Showdown Changed Music Forever【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Mael ]

<p><strong>A thrilling narrative history of how one rap battle in New York transformed American culture forever.</strong></p> <p>July 3, 1981, was a pivotal night for the future of America's newest art form: hip hop. In New York's Harlem World Club, the Fantastic Romantic Five and the Cold Crush Brothers competed, with an unprecedented $1,000ーand their reputationsーon the line in a highly anticipated rap battle. The show drew hundreds of fans to settle a question that still dominates hip hop circles: Who's the best?</p> <p>In <em>Harlem World</em>, journalist Jonathan Mael chronicles this fateful night of hip hop rivalry and shares a new look at how Harlem helped ignite a musical revolution. Since hip hop first emerged in New York in the early 1970s, artists like Theodore Livingston (DJ Grand Wizzard Theodore) and Curtis Brown (Grandmaster Caz) sought to elevate this uniquely American musical genre by pushing the limits of record-playing techniques and lyricism. The two crews they assembled put on the best shows in a world where hip hop was still a strictly live art form. Even as acts like the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow became commercially successful, New York's top two crews strove to claim the ultimate spot atop the city's hip hop scene.</p> <p>The battle blew the roof off Harlem World that night, and bootlegged cassette tapes of the match-up sent aftershocks around the city as more fans listened to the legendary performances. Set in the New York of the 1970s and '80s, this book shares dozens of new, exclusive interviews and a treasure trove of previously unpublished archival material to tell the story of Cold Crush and Fantastic's rivalry, documenting one of the most important stories in hip hop history. This is the first book of its kind to focus on 1979?1983 and the legendary battles at Harlem World while connecting the genre's formative years to its massive role in American society 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。
