Necro Citizenship: Death, Eroticism, and the Public Sphere in the Nineteenth-Century United States
ISBN: 9780822327721 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Necro Citizenship Russ Castronovo argues that the meaning of citizenship in the United States during the nineteenth century was bound to and even dependent on death. Deploying an impressive range of literary and cultural texts, Castronovo interrogates an American public sphere that fetishized death as a crucial point of political identification. This morbid politics idealized disembodiment over embodiment, spiritual conditions over material ones, amnesia over history, and passivity over engagement.

American Insecurity and the Origins of Vulnerability
ISBN: 9780691249841 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An incisive critique that examines the origins of contemporary American ideas about surveillance, terrorism, and white supremacy For more than three centuries, Americans have pursued strategies of security that routinely make them feel vulnerable, unsafe, and insecure. American Insecurity and the Origins of Vulnerability probes this paradox by examining American attachments to the terror of the sublime, the fear of uncertainty, and the anxieties produced by unending racial threat. Challenging conventional approaches that leave questions of security to policy experts, Russ Castronovo turns...

Propaganda 1776: Secrets, Leaks, and Revolutionary Communications in Early America
ISBN: 9780199354900 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 1776 symbolizes a moment, both historical and mythic, of democracy in action. That year witnessed the release of a document, which Edward Bernays, the so-called father of public relations and spin, would later label as a masterstroke of propaganda. Although the Declaration of Independence relies heavily on the empiricism of self-evident truths, Bernays, who had authored the influential manifesto Propaganda in 1928, suggested that what made this iconic document so effective was not its sober rationalism but its inspiring message that ensured its dissemination throughout the American...

Materializing Democracy: Toward a Revitalized Cultural Politics
ISBN: 9780822329107 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For the most part, democracy is simply presumed to exist in the United States. It is viewed as a completed project rather than as a goal to be achieved. Fifteen leading scholars challenge that stasis in Materializing Democracy. They aim to reinvigorate the idea of democracy by placing it in the midst of a contentious political and cultural fray, which, the volume s editors argue, is exactly where it belongs. Drawing on literary criticism, cultural studies, history, legal studies, and political theory, the essays collected here highlight competing definitions and practices of democracy...

States of Emergency: The Object of American Studies
ISBN: 9780807859858 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The contributors to this volume argue that for too long, inclusiveness has substituted for methodology in American studies scholarship. The ten original essays collected here call for a robust comparativism that is attuned theoretically to questions of both space and time.
States of Emergency asks readers to engage in a thought experiment: imagine that you have an object you want to study. Which methodologies will contextualize and explain your selection? What political goals are embedded in your inquiry? This thought experiment is taken up by contributors who consider an...

Beautiful Democracy: Aesthetics and Anarchy in a Global Era
ISBN: 9780226096292 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The photographer and reformer Jacob Riis once wrote, I have seen an armful of daisies keep the peace of a block better than a policeman and his club. Riis was not alone in his belief that beauty could tame urban chaos, but are aesthetic experiences always a social good? Could aesthetics also inspire violent crime, working-class unrest, and racial murder? To answer these questions, Russ Castronovo turns to those who debated claims that art could democratize culture civic reformers, anarchists, novelists, civil rights activists, and college professors to reveal that beauty provides unexpected...
