Dark Borders: Film Noir and American Citizenship
ISBN: 9780822350064 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Dark Borders" connects anxieties about citizenship and national belonging in midcentury America to the sense of alienation conveyed by American film noir. Jonathan Auerbach provides in-depth interpretations of more than a dozen of these dark crime thrillers, considering them in relation to U.S. national security measures enacted from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. The growth of a domestic intelligence-gathering apparatus before, during, and after the Second World War raised unsettling questions about who was American and who was not, and how to tell the difference. Auerbach shows how...

Weapons of Democracy: Propaganda, Progressivism, and American Public Opinion
ISBN: 9781421417363 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Following World War I, political commentator Walter Lippmann worried that citizens increasingly held inaccurate and misinformed beliefs because of the way information was produced, circulated, and received in a mass-mediated society. Lippmann dubbed this manipulative opinion-making process -the manufacture of consent.- A more familiar term for such large-scale persuasion would be propaganda. In Weapons of Democracy, Jonathan Auerbach explores how Lippmann's stark critique gave voice to a set of misgivings that had troubled American social reformers since the late nineteenth...

Body Shots: Early Cinema's Incarnations
ISBN: 9780520252936 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This original and compelling book places the body at the center of cinema's first decade of emergence and challenges the idea that for early audiences, the new medium's fascination rested on visual spectacle for its own sake. Instead, as Jonathan Auerbach argues, it was the human form in motion that most profoundly shaped early cinema. Situating his discussion in a political and historical context, Auerbach begins his analysis with films that reveal striking anxieties and preoccupations about persons on public display--both exceptional figures, such as 1896 presidential candidate William...

The Romance of Failure: First-Person Fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James
ISBN: 9780195057218 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the intense intimacy between author and first-person narrator in the fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James in order to defend the beleaguered "I" in these works against the depersonalizing tendencies of postructuralism. In reaffirming the importance of the human subject for the study of narrative, Auerbach shows how the first person form, in particular, underscores fundamental problems of literary representation: how fictions come to be made, and the relation between these plots and the people who make them.

Male Call: Becoming Jack London
ISBN: 9780822318200 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When Jack London died in 1916 at age forty, he was one of the most famous writers of his time. Eighty years later he remains one of the most widely read American authors in the world. The first major critical study of London to appear in a decade, "Male Call "analyzes the nature of his appeal by closely examining how the struggling young writer sought to promote himself in his early work as a sympathetic, romantic man of letters whose charismatic masculinity could carry more significance than his words themselves.

The Oxford Handbook of Propaganda Studies
ISBN: 9780199764419 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Derived from the word "to propagate," the idea and practice of propaganda concerns nothing less than the ways in which human beings communicate, particularly with respect to the creation and widespread dissemination of attitudes, images, and beliefs. Much larger than its pejorative connotations suggest, propaganda can more neutrally be understood as a central means of organizing and shaping thought and perception, a practice that has been a pervasive feature of the twentieth century and that touches on many fields. It has been seen as both a positive and negative force, although abuses under...

Northland Stories
ISBN: 9780140189964 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Like the characters in the popular dime novels of the time, London's heroes display such manly virtues as courage, loyalty, and steadfastness as they conftont the merciless frozen expanses of the north. Yet London breaks free of stereotypical figures and one-dimensional plots to explore deeper psychological and social questions of self-mastery, masculinity, and racial domination. The uneasy relationship between the Native Americans and whites lies at the heart of many of the stories, while others reflect London's growing awareness of the destruction wrought by the white incursion on Indian...
