After-affects / after-images: Trauma and aesthetic transformation in the virtual feminist museum
ISBN: 9780719087981 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Do artists travel away from or towards trauma? Is trauma encrypted or inscribed in art? Or can aesthetic practices (after-images) bring about transformation of trauma, personal trauma or historical traumas? Can they do this in a way that does not imply cure or resolution of the traces (after-affects) of trauma? How do artists themselves process these traces as participants in and sensors for our life-worlds and histories, and how does the viewer, coming belatedly or from elsewhere, encounter works bearing such traces or seeking forms through which to touch and transform them?
These are... Do artists travel away from or towards trauma? Is trauma encrypted or inscribed in art? Or can aesthetic practices (after-images) bring about transfor...

Schooltalk: Rethinking What We Say About--And To--Students Every Day
ISBN: 9781620971031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Words matter.

Teens are flocking in droves to be "liked" or to be "followed" and to feel as if they fit in and are part of something special. They are willing to, in essence, bare it all on the internet.

Group Experiment and Other Writings: The Frankfurt School on Public Opinion in Postwar Germany
ISBN: 9780674048461 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the occupation of West Germany after the Second World War, the American authorities commissioned polls to assess the values and opinions of ordinary Germans. They concluded that the fascist attitudes of the Nazi era had weakened to a large degree. Theodor W. Adorno and his Frankfurt School colleagues, who returned in 1949 from the United States, were skeptical. They held that standardized polling was an inadequate and superficial method for exploring such questions. In their view, public opinion is not simply an aggregate of individually held opinions, but is fundamentally a...

The second moment occurred around the beginning of the second millennium, when local speech forms challenged and eventually...

The Free Society
ISBN: 9780367292294 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the tradition of Milton Friedman’s 1962 classic, Capitalism and Freedom, Lansing Pollock draws on moral, political, and economic theory to defend a libertarian vision of the good society. Pollock argues that mutual consent, derived from a fundamental Kantian moral equality, is the ideal standard for judging relations between persons. He contends that if the equal right of all persons to be free is taken seriously, most of the coercion by government that many take for granted is immoral. Pollock situates libertarian moral theory in an American historical context, one compatible with the...

ISBN: 9780415067003 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is the canon of art history a sacred collection of the best paintings by the greatest masters, or a construct turning its contents into products of mastery, and defining culture and creativity as essentially European and masculine? The question of the traditional, patriarchal canon, of whether it should be rejected, replaced or reformed, is a debate at the centre of feminist art history. In this book, the author examines the canon's appeal, and explores both the fantasies and desires served by traditional heroic narratives in art history, and those which drive feminist criticism to oppose...
