The Politics of Romantic Poetry: In Search of the Pure Commonwealth
ISBN: 9781349414239 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In recent years critics of Romantic poetry have divided into two groups that have little to say to one another. One group, as yet the most numerous, insists that to study a poem is to investigate the historical circumstances out of which it was produced; the other retorts that poetry offers pleasures fully available only to readers whose attention is focused on their language. This book attempts to reconcile the two groups by arguing that a poet's most effective political action is the forging of a new language, and that the political import of a poem is a function of its style.

Advertising Myths: The Strange Half-Lives of Images and Commodities
ISBN: 9780415281744 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Advertising is often portrayed negatively, as corrupting a mythically pure relationship between people and things. In Advertising Myths, Anne Cronin argues that it is better understood as a matrix of transformation that performs divisions in the social order and arranges classificatory regimes. Focusing on consumption controversies, Cronin contends that advertising is constituted of circuits of belief that flow between practitioners, clients, regulators, consumers and academics. Controversies such as those over tobacco and alcohol advertising, she argues, distil these beliefs and articulate...

Osaka Modern: The City in the Japanese Imaginary
ISBN: 9780674975187 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Images of the city in literature and film help constitute the experience of modern life. Studies of the Japanese city have focused on Tokyo, but a fuller understanding of urban space and life requires analysis of other cities, beginning with Osaka. Japan's "merchant capital" in the late sixteenth century, Osaka remained an industrial center--the "Manchester of the East"--into the 1930s, developing a distinct urban culture to rival Tokyo's. It therefore represents a critical site of East Asian modernity. Osaka Modern maps the city as imagined in Japanese popular culture from the...
