Klezmer America: Jewishness, Ethnicity, Modernity
ISBN: 9780231142786 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Klezmer is a continually evolving musical tradition that grows out of Eastern European Jewish culture, and its changes reflect Jews' interaction with other groups as well as their shifting relations to their own history. But what happens when, in the klezmer spirit, the performances that go into the making of Jewishness come into contact with those that build different forms of cultural identity? Jonathan Freedman argues that terms central to the Jewish experience in America, notions like "the immigrant," the "ethnic," and even the "model minority," have worked and continue to intertwine...

From the beginning of modern intellectual history to the culture wars of the present day, the experience of assimilating Jews and the idiom of "culture" have been fundamentally intertwined with each other.

It explores the unexpected parallels and ironic reversals between a cultural dispensation that had ambivalent responses...

Media Violence and Its Effect on Aggression
ISBN: 9780802084255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The scientific evidence does not support the notion that TV and film violence cause aggression in children or in anyone else. So argues Jonathan Freedman, based on his findings that far fewer than half of the scientific studies have found a causal connection between exposure to media violence and aggression or crime. In fact, Freedman believes that, taken to a more controversial extreme, the research could be interpreted as showing that there is no causal effect of media violence at all. Media Violence and its Effect on Aggression offers a provocative challenge to the accepted...
