Playing the Field: Video Games and American Studies
ISBN: 9783110754629 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. American Studies has only gradually turned its attention to video games in the twenty-first century, even though the medium has grown into a cultural industry that is arguably the most important force in American and global popular culture today. There is an urgent need for a substantial theoretical reflection on how the field and its object of study relate to each other. This anthology, the first of its kind, seeks to address this need by asking a dialectic question: first, how may American Studies apply its highly diverse theoretical and methodological tools to the analysis of video games,...

America and the Musical Unconscious
ISBN: 9781940813844 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Music occupies a peculiar role in the field of American Studies. It is undoubtedly recognized as an important form of cultural production, yet the field continues to privilege textual and visual forms of art as its objects of examination. The essays collected in this volume seek to adjust this imbalance by placing music center stage while still acknowledging its connections to the fields of literary and visual studies that engage with the specifically American cultural landscape. In doing so, they proffer the concept of the 'musical unconscious' as an analytical tool of understanding the...
