Beautiful/Ugly: African and Diaspora Aesthetics
ISBN: 9780822339182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Cameroon, a monumental "statue of liberty" is made from scrap metal. In Congo, a thriving popular music incorporates piercing screams and carnal dances.

Scholars and artists take up that question in this invigorating, lavishly illustrated collection, which includes more than one hundred color images. Exploring sculpture, music, fiction, food, photography, fashion, and urban design, the contributors engage with and depart from canonical aesthetic...

Entanglement: Literary and Cultural Reflections on Post-Apartheid
ISBN: 9781868144761 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This original book is a much needed and far reaching exploration of post-apartheid South African life worlds. Entanglement aims to capture the contradictory mixture of innovation and inertia, of loss, violence and xenophobia as well as experimentation and desegregation, which characterises the present. The author explores the concept of entanglement in relation to readings of literature, new media forms and painting.

Johannesburg: The Elusive Metropolis
ISBN: 9780822342847 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Johannesburg: The Elusive Metropolis is a pioneering effort to insert South Africa s largest city into urban theory, on its own terms. Johannesburg is Africa s premier metropolis. Yet theories of urbanization have cast it as an emblem of irresolvable crisis, the spatial embodiment of unequal economic relations and segregationist policies, and a city that responds to but does not contribute to modernity on the global scale. Complicating and contesting such characterizations, the contributors to this collection reassess classic theories of metropolitan modernity as they explore the...

Planetary Hinterlands: Extraction, Abandonment and Care
ISBN: 9783031242458 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This open access book considers the concept of the hinterland as a crucial tool for understanding the global and planetary present as a time defined by the lasting legacies of colonialism, increasing labor precarity under late capitalist regimes, and looming climate disasters. Traditionally seen to serve a (colonial) port or market town, the hinterland here becomes a lens to attend to the times and spaces shaped and experienced across the received categories of the urban, rural, wilderness or nature. In straddling these categories, the concept of the hinterland foregrounds the human and...
