Grasping Things: Folk Material Culture and Mass Society in America
ISBN: 9780813191423 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. America stocks its shelves with mass-produced goods but fills its imagination with handmade folk objects. In Pennsylvania, the "back to the city" housing movement causes a conflict of cultures. In Indiana, an old tradition of butchering turtles for church picnics evokes both pride and loathing among residents. In New York, folk-art exhibits raise choruses of adoration and protest. These are a few of the examples Simon Bronner uses to illustrate the ways Americans physically and mentally grasp things. Bronner moves beyond the usual discussions of form and variety in America's folk material... America stocks its shelves with mass-produced goods but fills its imagination with handmade folk objects.

Framing Jewish Culture: Boundaries and Representations
ISBN: 9781906764081 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Modernity offers people choices about who they want to be and how they want to appear to others. The way in which Jews choose to frame their identity establishes the dynamic of their social relations with other Jews and non-Jews - a dynamic complicated by how non-Jews position the boundaries around what and who they define as Jewish. This book uncovers these processes, historically, as well as in contemporary behavior, and finds explanations for the various manifestations, in feeling and action, of 'being Jewish.' Boundaries and borders raise fundamental questions about the difference between...

"Who's That Knocking On My Door?": Barnacle Bill the Sailor and his Mates in Song and Story
ISBN: 9781935243830 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The bawdy exploits of "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" are normally relegated to late-night college parties, sports celebrations, and military clubs, but the crusty seaman has antecedents in ballads reaching back to the sixteenth century. This study explores those roots, the modern variants of the song, and its cultural contexts, uncovering the gender identity and social power themes within these widely-sung ribald verses. The bawdy exploits of "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" are normally relegated to late-night college parties, sports celebrations, and military clubs, but... |

Mothers in the Jewish Cultural Imagination: Jewish Cultural Studies Volume 5
ISBN: 9781906764661 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The 'Jewish mother' figure is a hallmark of Jewish culture, one which appears in the works of rabbis, artists, poets, and activists across time and place. While depictions of mothers and motherhood abound in Jewish writings, they vary significantly according to social context. These representations therefore offer important insights into the Jewish cultural imagination, and the ways in which writers resort to the figure of the Jewish mother to comprehend and construct their world. The contributors to this volume highlight the complex network of symbols and images associated with Jewish...

Steelton
ISBN: 9781531636784 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For much of the 20th century, the name Steelton represented a great industrial complex that stretched nearly four miles along the Susquehanna River near the state's capital of Harrisburg. Immigrants from all over Europe, particularly Slavs and Italians, worked with African Americans from the South at the Bethlehem Steel Company and gave Steelton its reputation for ethnic diversity, second only to its fame for industrial productivity. Catholics, Protestants, and Jews filled the town's various houses of worship, but the taverns on Front Street, across from the mill, were crowded too. The town's...
