The Many Faces of Judge Lynch: Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America
ISBN: 9780312293994 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The U.S. is the most violent industrialized country in the world, and lynching - that is, murder endorsed by the community - may be a key to understanding America's heritage of violence and perhaps point to solutions that can eradicate it. While lynchings are predominantly racial in tone and motive, Christopher Waldrep's sweeping study of the meaning and uses of lynching from the colonial period to the present reveals that the definition of the term has shifted dramatically over time, and that the victims and perpetuators of lynching were as diverse as its many meanings. By examining lynching...

The Many Faces of Judge Lynch: Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America
ISBN: 9781403967114 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The word "lynching" has immediate and graphic connotations for virtually all people who hear and use the word. When Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas claimed he was lynched by a Senate investigating committee, he intentionally and deliberately drew on two key components of the term -- race and punishment - that stemmed from the long and ugly history of lynching in America. Yet if we follow the history of the term itself - which is over two centuries old - we learn that lynching has had several different meanings over time, with murder endorsed by the community as one of its most enduring...

Future Nostalgia: Performing David Bowie
ISBN: 9781623566920 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although David Bowie has famously characterized himself as a "leper messiah," a more appropriate moniker might be "rock god": someone whose influence has crossed numerous sub-genres of popular and classical music and can at times seem ubiquitous. By looking at key moments in his career (1972, 1977-79, 1980-83, and 1995-97) through several lenses-theories of sub-culture, gender/sexuality studies, theories of sound, post-colonial theory, and performance studies Waldrep examines Bowie's work in terms not only of his auditory output but his many reinterpretations of it via music videos, concert...
