Heritage, Culture, and Politics in the Postcolony
ISBN: 9780231160186 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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. Bringing the eye of a philosopher, the pen of an essayist,...

A meditation on the lessons to be learned from South Africa's transformation in the wake of apartheid.

Midnight's Diaspora: Critical Encounters with Salman Rushdie
ISBN: 9780472070480 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Almost twenty years after the Ayatollah Khomeini declared a fatwa against him, Salman Rushdie remains the most controversial and perhaps the most famous living novelist. Far more than an acclaimed author, Rushdie is a global figure whose work is read and studied by a wide variety of constituencies, many of whom are not primarily concerned with its literary significance. This important collection of essays and interviews brings together a distinguished group of critics and commentators, including Rushdie himself, to explore the political and cultural contexts of Rushdie's novels. While each of...

Danto is unique among philosophers for the breadth of his philosophical mind, his eloquent writing style, and the generous spirit embodied in all his work.

The Star as Icon: Celebrity in the Age of Mass Consumption
ISBN: 9780231145404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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...

ISBN: 9780226328928 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Artists and critics regularly enlist theory in the creation and assessment of artworks, but few have scrutinized the art theories themselves.

Spurred by the theoretical claims of Arthur Danto, a leader in the philosophy of the avant-garde, Herwitz reexamines the art and theory of major figures in the avant-garde movement including John Cage, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jean Baudrillard, and Andy Warhol. " Artists and critics regularly enlist theory in the creation and assessment of artworks, but few have scrutinized the art theories themselves. Here, Da...

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...
