'The death of the 'public intellectual' has been announced more often than the death of the novel, ' a 2006 article in New York magazine claimed.

ISBN: 9783319599441 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book examines the phenomenon of 'the male gaze', a concept which has spread beyond academia and become a staple of cultural conversations across disciplinary boundaries.
Male gazing has typically been disparaged and even stigmatized as a reflection of misogyny and an instrument of objectification, often justifiably so. But as this book argues and illustrates, male gazing can also be understood as an illuminating, intellectually engaging, aesthetically compelling, and even politically progressive practice. This study recounts how the author's own coming-of-an-age as a gazer became the...

The Literary Bent: In Search of High Art in Contemporary American Writing
ISBN: 9780812215984 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is "literature in these postmodern, postcanonical times? And if a small number of works being written today are "literary," what distinguishes them from those many others that are not? The store managers who shelve books in separate "literature" and "fiction" sections clearly have something in mind, but they're not talking. James Bloom has his own ideas, and he is. With zest and conviction, Bloom argues that traditional aspirations to literariness persist in the poetry and fiction of writers such as Robert Stone, Jane Smiley, Salman Rushdie, Toni Morrison, Adrienne Rich, and Robert...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Ash Wednesday and Holy Week are special days indeed on the Christian calendar.

James M. Bloom provides in this helpful resource eleven separate services or worship ideas. Liturgies and meditations are included. In most... Ash Wednesday and Holy Week are special days indeed on the Christian calendar. Pastors and worship leaders need to approach these days with special ca...

Only a leader who possessed the moral qualities of a true king could unify...
