The Misfit Soldier: Edward Casey's War Story, 1914-1932
ISBN: 9781859181881 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Edward Casey, an underfed, under-sized and semi-literate Irish Cockney from Canning Town, was no war hero. Even so, his account of four years of war service with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers is a remarkable chronicle, revealing his personal and sexual insecurities, his remarkable experience of Irish unrest during periods of training and leave, and his excitement as a military tourist in France, Salonica and Malta.
The memoir was written in 1980, six decades after his departure for New Zealand, yet retains a strong Cockney flavor. The editor has selected the chapters with the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In times of crisis, we often turn to artists for truth-telling and memory-keeping.

Rape: Sex, Violence, History
ISBN: 9781582434667 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 565 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Joanna Bourke takes the issue of rape out of the academic ghettos and distills the truth so often exploited to sell newspapers. Neither prurient nor overly sympathetic toward any party, she investigates rape from a historical standpoint, examining the history of sexual aggression, the idea of rape as a social construct, and the often-ignored idea of embodiment, and analyzes the physical response of rapists as well as the theory that rape is "about" power.
Indebted to a growing body of sophisticated feminist analyses about rape victims, Bourke here shifts the emphasis from the victims to... Joanna Bourke takes the issue of rape out of the academic ghettos and distills the truth so often exploited to sell newspapers. Neither prurient nor o...

Working Class Cultures in Britain, 1890-1960: Gender, Class and Ethnicity
ISBN: 9780415098977 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Integrating a variety of historical approaches and methods, Joanna Bourke looks at the construction of class within the intimate contexts of the body, the home, the marketplace, the locality and the nation to assess how the subjective identity of the 'working class' in Britain has been maintained through seventy years of radical social, cultural and economic change. She argues that class identity is essentially a social and cultural rather than an institutional or political phenomenon and therefore cannot be understood without constant reference to gender and ethnicity. Each self contained...

ISBN: 9780465007387 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The characteristic act of men at war is not dying, but killing. Politicians and military historians may gloss over human slaughter, emphasizing the defense of national honor, but for men in active service, warfare means being - or becoming - efficient killers. In An Intimate History of Killing, historian Joanna Bourke asks: What are the social and psychological dynamics of becoming the best "citizen soldiers?" What kind of men become the best killers? How do they readjust to civilian life?These questions are answered in this groundbreaking new work that won, while still in manuscript,...

Husbandry to Housewifery
ISBN: 9780198203858 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book examines the lives of Irish women between 1890 and 1914, tracing the shift of their labour out of the fields and into the home. Joanna Bourke shows how their position within the employment market deteriorated: married women came to be increasingly dependent on their husbands' earnings, while economic opportunities for unmarried and widowed women collapsed. More and more women devoted all their productive enterprise to performing housework. In this thoroughly documented and carefully argued study, Dr Bourke analyses the crucial elements in this change: the coincidence of sectoral...

What It Means to be Human: Historical Reflections from the 1800s to the Present
ISBN: 9781619021679 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Avoiding the impenetrable prose often found in academic books, this deeply scholarly work is lively and challenging in equal measure, and rewarding throughout. --Boston Globe
In this fascinating account, Joanna Bourke addresses the profound question of what it means to be human rather than animal. How are people excluded from political personhood? How does one become entitled to rights? The distinction between the two concepts is a blurred line, permanently under construction. If the Earnest Englishwoman had been capable of looking 100 years into the future, she might have wondered about...

The Story of Pain: From Prayer to Painkillers
ISBN: 9780199689422 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Everyone knows what it feels like to be in pain. Scraped knees, toothaches, migraines, giving birth, cancer, heart attacks, and heartaches: pain permeates our entire lives. We also witness other people - loved ones - suffering, and we 'feel with' them. It is easy to assume this is the end of the story: 'pain-is-pain- is-pain', and that is all there is to say. But it is not. In fact, the way in which people respond to what they describe as 'painful' has changed considerably over time. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, for example, people believed that pain served a specific (and...

Fear: A Cultural History
ISBN: 9781593761547 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Whether we like it or not, an atmosphere of fear pervades modern culture. In America, each day is color-coded for the level of threat; newspapers fill with gloomy news of climate crisis; and the radio and TV bleat with Amber alerts, car crashes, and the war wounded. In this groundbreaking work, award-winning historian Joanna Bourke helps us understand the landscape of fear we now navigate. Her review of the past two hundred years -- from diagnosed phobias to the media's role in creating new ones -- prompts strikingly original observations about the mind and worldview of the "long...

Resilience: Militaries and Militarization
ISBN: 9783031133664 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book explores the concept of ‘resilience’ in the context of militaries and militarization. Focusing on the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, and continental Europe, it argues that, post-9/11, there has been a shift away from ‘trauma’ and towards ‘resilience’ in framing and understanding human responses to calamitous events. The contributors to this volume show how resilience-speech has been militarized, and deeply entrenched in imagined communities. As the concept travels, it is applied in diverse and often contradictory ways to a vast array of experiences, contexts, and...
