Comparative Patriarchy and American Institutions: The Language, Culture, and Politics of Liberalism
ISBN: 9781443819367 / Twarda / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As Claude Lévi-Strauss wrote in his book, La pensée sauvage (Paris,1960): “biographical and anecdotal history … is low-powered history, which is not intelligible in itself, and only becomes so when it is transferred en bloc to a form of history of a higher power than itself … The historian’s relative choice … is always confined to the choice between history which teaches more and explains less and history which explains more and teaches less.” This book oscillates between analysis, which tries to explain what man is, and anecdote, which tries to teach what he is capable of...

Civilizing and Decivilizing Processes: Figurational Approaches to American Culture
ISBN: 9781443827287 / Twarda / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume collects new articles that explore the theoretical framework of figurational or relational sociology as represented by Norbert Elias and Pierre Bourdieu with regard to its relevance to American history, culture, and literature. The emphasis is put on Elias’s theory of the “civilizing process” and the question in how far his study of the European process of state formation and the correlative psycho-social changes is relevant to the analysis of the development of the American nation-state and the habitus of Americans. Leading scholars from the field of figurational sociology...

Bound by Love: Familial Bonding in Film and Television since 1950
ISBN: 9781443829854 / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does it mean to be bound by love? Sometimes, the bonds of love supply bliss, and sometimes they demand sacrifice. Sometimes, experiencing love saves people, and sometimes it kills them. Being bound by love often engenders moral responsibility; in other cases, it enslaves and imprisons the soul. American mythologies—especially those presented in film and television—perpetuate love as the central narrative of one’s life; the search for a connection forged by love permeates every facet of human existence, from our desire to be accepted, or our longing to be needed, to our fury at...
