The popularity of television shows like TLC s Sister Wives and HBO s Big Love...

Revolution and Transition : Cultural Policy in Bulgaria, 1989-2012
ISBN: 9783643908148 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For anyone interested in finding out about Bulgarian cultural policy, but is unfamiliar with the processes in the country, the entire period from 1995 to 2012 remains utterly inaccessible. The relationship between democracy and culture is a central topic of this book. History shows that in times of crisis, culture is pushed down the list of priorities. In such cases, stabilizing the economy takes precedence over cultural reforms. In Bulgaria, this dilemma led to considerable losses in the cultural sector. The author, Alexander Alexandrov, is very familiar with this sector. He develops and...

Unlearning the Colonial Cultures of Planning
ISBN: 9781138253049 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Colonialization has never failed to provoke discussion and debate over its territorial, economic and political projects, and their ongoing consequences. This work argues that the state-based activity of planning was integral to these projects in conceptualizing, shaping and managing place in settler societies. Planning was used to appropriate and then produce territory for management by the state and in doing so, became central to the colonial invasion of settler states. Moreover, the book demonstrates how the colonial roots of planning endure in complex (post)colonial societies and how such...

ISBN: 9783319500966 / Angielski / Twarda / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text offers a theoretical engagement with the ways in which private and public interests - and how those interests have been understood - have framed the changing rationale for broadcasting regulation, using the first century of UK broadcasting as a starting point. Unlike most books on broadcasting, this text adopts an explicitly Foucauldian and genealogical perspective in its account of media history and power, and unpicks how the meanings of terms such as 'public service' and 'public interest', as well as 'competition' and 'choice', have evolved over time. In considering the...
