Heritage, Culture, and Politics in the Postcolony
ISBN: 9780231160186 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The act of remaking one's history into a heritage, a conscientiously crafted narrative placed over the past, is a thriving industry in almost every postcolonial culture. This is surprising, given the tainted role of heritage in so much of colonialism's history. Yet the postcolonial state, like its European predecessor of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, deploys heritage institutions and instruments, museums, courts of law, and universities to empower itself with unity, longevity, exaltation of value, origin, and destiny.

The Star as Icon: Celebrity in the Age of Mass Consumption
ISBN: 9780231145404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Princess Diana, Jackie O, Grace Kelly--the star icon is the most talked about yet least understood persona. The object of adoration, fantasy, and cult obsession, the star icon is a celebrity, yet she is also something more: a dazzling figure at the center of a media pantomime that is at once voyeuristic and zealously guarded. With skill and humor, Daniel Herwitz pokes at the gears of the celebrity-making machine, recruiting a philosopher's interest in the media, an eye for society, and a love of popular culture to divine our yearning for these iconic figures and the role they play in our...

Aesthetics, Arts, and Politics in a Global World
ISBN: 9781350141636 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A different set of purposes define culture today than those that preoccupied the world in the immediate decades of decolonization. Focusing on art and music in diverse parts of the world, Daniel Herwitz explores a world that has largely shifted from the earlier days of nationalism, decolonization and cultural exclusion, to one of global markets and networks. Using examples from India and Mexico to South Africa, Australia and China, Herwitz argues that the cultural politics and art being produced in these places are now post- postcolonial. Where the postcolonial downplayed formerly...
