The Life and Times of Post-Modernity
ISBN: 9780415098328 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Postmodernity is often claimed as a great transformation in society and culture. But is it? In this book, Keith Tester casts a cautious eye on such grandiose claims. Tester draws on a series of themes and stories from European sociology and literature to show that many of the great statements from postmodernity are misplaced. Postmodernity is not the harbinger or expression of a new world. It is a reflection of the unresolved paradoxes and possibilities of modernity. The author establishes a clearly expressed and stimulating model of modernity to demonstrate the stakes and consequences of...

Punishing Violence
ISBN: 9780415098397 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is a common perception that violent crime is on the increase and social surveys record a growing fear of victimisation among the public. Yet not all violence is criminalised, and much criminal violence still goes unreported.
Punishing Violence examines the series of decisions - by victims, police officers, prosecutors and courts - which determine whether or not violent behaviour is criminalised. Antonia Cretney and Gwynn Davis examine the relationships underpinning violence, the reasons for violent acts and the factors militating against successful court prosecutions. In...

A range of international contributions are brought together in this volume on the research, theory and practice of developing community-based HIV prevention.

The text...

Mapping the Subject : Geographies of Cultural Transformation
ISBN: 9780415102254 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The human subject is difficult to map for numerous reasons. How do you map something that does not have precise boundaries, that is a set of different, intersecting and sometimes conflicting object positions, that is always on the move and that is only partially locatable in space and time? The essays in this book aim to untangle these difficulties in new ways through case study material and theoretical expositions.

The Barbarian Temperament: Towards a Postmodern Critical Theory
ISBN: 9780415102414 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The many dramatic events of the current fin de siecle - especially the fall of communism - raise anew some perennial questions concerning modernity and civilization. Are we living at the height of civilization or just through a latter day barbarism? Are modernists and postmodernists more barbaric than ever? And if so, how might this be resolved? The author examines a variety of approaches to questions of barbarism and civilization. He draws on Veblen's argument that barbarism is rooted in cultural habits that persist despite modernity. Upon this basis, an attack is launched against...

Prosthetic Culture
ISBN: 9780415102933 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We live in a soceity in which body parts are components in a global traffic of goods, in which some memories can be falsely implanted in the individual, while others are stored outside the individual in video archives. It is the body'a ability to act outside itself both mechanically and perceptually in this way which Celia Lury describes as prosthetic culture. Using examples drawn from phototherapy, accounts of false memory syndrome, family albums, Benetton ads and the lives of cartoon characters, the author argues that the eyes made available by contemporary visual technologies involve not...

Prosthetic Culture
ISBN: 9780415102940 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a fascinating account of how technology is altering our consciousness, Celia Lury shows how the manipulation of photographic images and ways of seeing can so redefine the relation between consciousness, the body and memory as to create a 'prosthetic culture' whose capacities both extend and threaten our humanity.
We live in a society in which some memories can be falsely implanted in the individual while others are stored in video archives of images, in which the powers of cartoon superheroes break through the limitations of time and space.

Anti-Lawyers: Religion and the Critics of Law and State
ISBN: 9780415103046 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In early modern Europe the law developed as one of the few non-religious orderings of civil life. Its separation from religion was, however, never complete and we see the contest continued today not only in the campaigns of religious fundamentalists of the right, but also in the clains of critical intellectuals to reshape government institutions and the legal apparatus in accordance with moral principle - whether of indivudual autonomy or communitarian self-determination. In Anti-Lawyers, David Saunders traces the story of this unresolved conflict from Hobbes' Leviathan to...
