Frank Sinatra
ISBN: 9780745630915 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Frank Sinatra was only one of a handful of popular entertainers who dominated Western popular culture for six decades. From his early fame as 'the Voice' in the early 1940s, through to the high rolling, fast living 'Rat Pack' era, to the protracted Lear-like farewell tours of his twilight years, Sinatra was the epitome of cool. This compelling, consistently insightful book portrays Sinatra in his many contradictory hues of ambition, generosity, menace and vituperation. The book asks why Sinatra's public character which mixed insufferable hauteur with soapy populism and nobility with the...

Decentring Leisure: Rethinking Leisure Theory
ISBN: 9780803988125 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A book to get you thinking. It has proved impossible to convey accurately the exciting, wide-ranging, seemingly effortless trawl across a wide variety of schools, disciplines and thinkers which Rojek employs to support his argument. He uses a direct personal style which shines through the closely argued material and keeps you turning the pages to the very end. Students brought up in the modernist traditions of sociologies of leisure may find this book challenging and ultimately even frustrating, but it is an essential text which I hope will appear on recommended reading lists everywhere...

The Labour of Leisure: The Culture of Free Time
ISBN: 9781412945523 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In his compelling new book, Chris Rojek turns this shibboleth on its head to demonstrate how leisure has become a form of labor. Ranging widely from an analysis of the inflated aspirations of the leisure society thesis to the culture of deception that permeates leisure choice, the author shows how leisure is inextricably linked to emotional labor and intelligence. It is now a school for life. In challenging the orthodox understandings of freedom and free time, The Labour of Leisure sets out an indispensable new approach to the meaning of leisure.

Event Consciousness: How the Media Rule Without Governing
ISBN: 9781472507501 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While neo-liberalism works with a vigorous concept of the free individual, the social sciences regard the individual as a socially positioned actor. In Media and Communications this perspective has been developed most sharply in the proposition of media framing. Media theorists including Manuel Castells and James Curran have debated the question of how media structures human cognition and agency. In this book Chris Rojek explores the relationship between media framing and political power. How does it transfer into political consciousness and activism? And what are the benefits and costs for...

Event Power: How Global Events Manage and Manipulate
ISBN: 9780857025180 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Rojek's argument is a psychological one, although his message is political: global events build on people's needs to feel empowered and jointly engaged in the pursuit of a higher purpose; they allow a break from daily routines, provide an illusion of intimacy and social membership, and create a sense of self-validation and personal gratification. In short, participation in such events makes us feel good.
At the same time, the real effect of global events seems to be the maintenance of global inequality and social injustice, as well as huge profits for the organizations involved...

First published in 1985, this title explores theories of leisure in a capitalist society. Basing his argument on a refutation of the conventional association of leisure with freedom and free time, Chris Rojek examines the four main structural characteristics of modern leisure practice: privatisation, individuation, commercialisation and pacification. The writings of Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Freud are used to locate the question of leisure in more mainstream social theory. This interesting reissue will be of particular value to students of sociology and leisure studies, and those with an...

This follow-up to Chris Rojek's hugely successful 2001 book Celebrity assesses what celebrity culture means now, especially in the age of reality TV. Rojek argues that the framework for looking at celebrity culture is still valid, but the genres of ascribed celebrity, achieved celebrity, and celetoids overlap. He explorers the principles of celebrity engineering, including the technologies of fame creation in the context of reality TV. He also investigates whether performers and contestants are intentionally staged in particular ways to gain notoriety or acclaim. Rojek...
