This anthology - the first to collect key moments in Chow's engaging thought -...

ISBN: 9780814795880 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. View -Public Restrooms-: A Photo Gallery in The Atlantic Monthly. So much happens in the public toilet that we never talk about. Finding the right door, waiting in line, and using the facilities are often undertaken with trepidation. Don't touch anything. Try not to smell. Avoid eye contact. And for men, don't look down or let your eyes stray. Even washing one's hands are tied to anxieties of disgust and humiliation. And yet other things also happen in these spaces: babies are changed, conversations are had, make-up is applied, and notes are scrawled for posterity. Beyond these...

Rambling musings and a few short stories.
ISBN: 9781451520095 / Angielski / Miękka / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a compilation of blogs that I have written on stray issues which caught my fancy as well as a few essays and short stories over the period of the last three years. In a sense they are a reflection of life as seen through the eyes of an urban middle class Indian professional who has witnessed his country transforming rapidly from a laid back and sluggish giant into a throbbing engine of world economic growth, that swears by consumerism even as he went about his mundane daily life.

Essays on Social Psychology
ISBN: 9781412811309 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George H. Mead (1863-1931) is a central, founding figure of modern sociology, comparable to Karl Marx and Max Weber. Mead's early work, prior to his posthumous publications that appeared after 1932, is believed to be a series of articles contemporary scholarship defines as disconnected. A previously unknown, never published set of galleys for a book of essays by Mead, written between 1892 and 1910, unites these articles into a logical perspective. Essays in Social Psychology, Mead's -first- book, clearly locates him within a significantly different tradition and network than documented...

The Creolization of Theory
ISBN: 9780822348320 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Introducing this collection of essays, Francoise Lionnet and Shu-mei Shih argue that looking back investigating the historical, intellectual, and political entanglements of contemporary academic disciplines offers a way for scholars in the humanities to move critical debates forward. They describe how disciplines or methodologies that seem distinct today emerged from overlapping intellectual and political currents in the 1960s and early 1970s, in the era of decolonization, the U.S. civil rights movement, and antiwar activism. While both American ethnic studies programs and French theory...
