Syria's Democratic Years: Citizens, Experts, and Media in the 1950s
ISBN: 9780253018793 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The years 1954-1958 in Syria are popularly known as "The Democratic Years," a brief period of civilian government before the consolidation of authoritarian rule. Kevin W.

This book captures the dynamic confluence of feminist and communication scholarship by setting out some of the provocative questions that mark this intersection.

Does God Make the Man?: Media, Religion, and the Crisis of Masculinity
ISBN: 9781479811779 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many believe that religion plays a positive role in men's identity development, with religion promoting good behavior, and morality. In contrast, we often assume that the media is a negative influence for men, teaching them to be rough and violent, and to ignore their emotions. In Does God Make the Man?, Stewart M. Hoover and Curtis D. Coats draw on extensive interviews and participant observation with both Evangelical and non-Evangelical men, including Catholics as well as Protestants, to argue that neither of these assumptions is correct. Dismissing the easy notion that media...

Dead Matter: The Meaning of Iconic Corpses
ISBN: 9780816694334 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taking as its starting point the significant role of the photograph in modern mourning practices--particularly those surrounding public figures--Dead Matter theorizes the connections between the body and the image by looking at the corpse as a special instance of a body that is simultaneously thing and representation. Arguing that the evolving cultural understanding of photographic realism structures our relationship to the corpse, the book outlines a new politics of representation in which some bodies are more visible (and vulnerable) in death than others. To begin... Taking as its starting point the significant role of the photograph in modern mourning practices--particularly those surrounding public figures-- |

Computing as Writing
ISBN: 9780816697021 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the common metaphor that equates computing and writing, tracing it from the naming of devices ("notebook" computers) through the design of user interfaces (the "desktop") to how we describe the work of programmers ("writing" code). Computing as Writing ponders both the implications and contradictions of the metaphor. During the past decade, analysis of digital media honed its focus on particular hardware and software platforms. Daniel Punday argues that scholars should, instead, embrace both the power and the fuzziness of the writing metaphor as it relates...

Mechademia 10: World Renewal
ISBN: 9780816699155 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Because anime and manga have long proposed (and illustrated) alternative worlds--some created after catastrophes--it is fitting that this volume should consider this propensity for "world renewal." Individual essays range widely, from a poetic and personal reflection on the ritual of toro nagashi (the lighting of floating paper lanterns that has traditionally...

On May 4th, 1970, shots fired by the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University were heard around the world. People were either outraged by the killings or outraged at the students.

The book includes a narrative of an initial understanding of the incidents but admits its limit in full information as it outlines the... Originally published in 1971.

Endangering Science Fiction Film explores the ways in which science fiction film is a dangerous and endangering genre. The collection argues that science fiction's cinematic power rests in its ability to imagine 'Other' worlds that challenge and disturb the lived conditions of the 'real' world, as it is presently known to us. From classic films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris to modern blockbusters including World War Z and Gravity, and directors from David Cronenberg to Alfonso Cuaron, contributors comment on the way science fiction...
