The Government Machine: A Revolutionary History of the Computer
ISBN: 9780262533881 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In The Government Machine, Jon Agar traces the mechanization of government work in the United Kingdom from the nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. He argues that this transformation has been tied to the rise of "expert movements," groups whose authority has rested on their expertise. The deployment of machines was an attempt to gain control over state action -- a revolutionary move. Agar shows how mechanization followed the popular depiction of government as machine-like, with British civil servants cast as components of a general purpose "government machine"; indeed, he...

Bringing Up Baby, directed by Howard Hawks in 1938, is one of the greatest screwball comedies and a treasure from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Peter Swaab's original exploration of the film shows that at the heart of this classical comedy is a story as alarming as it is exhilarating, a dream of irresponsibility and a vindication of letting go.

Vermeer's Camera: Uncovering the Truth Behind the Masterpieces
ISBN: 9780192803023 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Art historians have long speculated on how Vermeer achieved the uncanny mixture of detached precision, compositional repose, and perspective accuracy that have drawn many to describe his work as "photographic." Indeed, many wonder if Vermeer employed a camera obscura, a primitive form of camera, to enhance his realistic effects?
In Vermeer's Camera, Philip Steadman traces the development of the camera obscura--first described by Leonaro da Vinci--weighs the arguments that scholars have made for and against Vermeer's use of the camera, and offers a fascinating examination of the paintings...

Faucault and Political Reason: Liberalism, Neo-Liberalism, and Rationalities of Government
ISBN: 9780226038261 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite the enormous influence of Michel Foucault in gender studies, social theory, and cultural studies, his work has been relatively neglected in the study of politics. Although he never published a book on the state, in the late 1970s Foucault examined the technologies of power used to regulate society and the ingenious recasting of power and agency that he saw as both consequence and condition of their operation.
These twelve essays provide a critical introduction to Foucault's work on politics, exploring its relevance to past and current thinking about liberal and neo-liberal forms...
