ISBN: 9781440836206 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How has the popularity of "Gilmore Girls" influenced perspectives on teenage pregnancies? How did the mother-in-law assume such monstrous proportions? Did the Republicans' view of motherhood--and their continual hectoring of Hillary Clinton for putting ambition ahead of family--cost them the 2008 election? "Mommy Angst: Motherhood in American Popular Culture" considers questions like these as it probes our country's views on mothers, and how those views shape--and are shaped by--the habitually oversimplified portrayals of mothers in pop culture, politics, and the media.

ISBN: 9780786498635 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Does lesbian BDSM avoid the problematic nature of heterosexual kink, or is it actually more subject to the male gaze of feminist theory? And what is it about kink that has creators of...

ISBN: 9780745334868 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Once, work was inextricably linked to survival and self-preservation: the farmer ploughed his land so that his family could eat.

In The Mythology of Work, Peter Fleming examines how neoliberal society uses the ritual of work--and the threat of its denial--to maintain the late capitalist class order. Work becomes a universal reference point, devoid of any moral or political worth, transforming our society into a factory that...
