Texting Toward Utopia: Kids, Writing, and Resistance
ISBN: 9781612053080 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Parents complain that kids today don't do their homework because they are distracted by the Internet, texting, and video games. Many kids experience schooling as nothing more than endless homework, distracted teachers, and helicopter parents. It is easy to conclude from these factors that young people lack cultural literacy. By presenting the writings of today's kids, however, Agger develops an alternative perspective: This is the most literary of times, and the young people of today write furiously, albeit often below the adult radar. Here, where texting replaces textbooks, the writing may...

The Internet, cell phones, and other technologies have changed the ways in which people conduct their family lives, raise children, and navigate the blurry boundary between work and home.

This book shows how the nurturance of family has increasingly become a willful, radical idea in an era of pervasive technology. The authors analyze important trends, including the acceleration and attenuation of childhood,...

Public Sociology: From Social Facts to Literary Acts
ISBN: 9780742541061 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Public Sociology examines the 'discourse' of mainstream journal articles in sociology in order to understand the essentially conservative nature of mainstream sociology. These articles primarily make advances in method, not substance. Drawing from Mills, critical theory and postmodernism, Agger develops a non-positivist version of sociological writing that is at once accessible and relevant to social problems.

Gender, Culture, and Power: Toward a Feminist Postmodern Critical Theory
ISBN: 9780275947002 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

A Critical Theory of Public Life: Knowledge, Discourse and Politics in an Age of Decline

A collection of Ben Agger's essays on the origins, significance and applications of critical theory, a perspective associated with the Frankfurt School. These essays address a variety of interrelated topics including the viability of Marxian theory in late capitalism, new social movements, the politics of science and technology and the future of public life. More than an exercise in textual exegesis, this book applies critical theory to contemporary intellectual debates and social problems. As such, it explores the role of critical intellectuals in building a more humane society.
