Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Homelessness is obviously a global problem. It has been a major focus of the UN-sponsored conferences Habitat I (1987) and Habitat II (1996). Reports from 144 countries for Habitat I demonstrated that over one billion people worldwide lived without adequate shelter of which at least 40 million were estimated to be homeless. Given the increased austerity conditions imposed by governments and international lending agencies as well as economic and political upheavals, this figure is sure to have increased dramatically. Homelessness and attitudes toward homelessness take different forms in developed and developing countries and from nation to nation, but the global dimensions of homelessness are accentuated by the economic and political disparities among nations. More and more refugees are mixing with displaced people from local communities in an ever-expanding series of global population flows. Understanding and addressing this new development requires more than the narrow, nationally-based studies that comprise most of the literature on the problem of homelessness. The present volume attempts to provide cross-cultural analysis by bringing together scholars from a variety of countries and investigating the operations of certain market economies, state policies, and community practices that contribute to the marginalization of large segments of the world's population as well as private and governmental remediation efforts. Homelessness and attitudes toward homelessness take different forms in developed and developing countries and from nation to nation, but the global dimensions of homelessness are accentuated by the economic and political disparities among nations.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. While many books and articles are emerging on the new area of game studies and the application of computer games to learning, therapeutic, military, and entertainment environments, few have attempted to contextualize the importance of virtual play within a broader social, cultural, and political environment that raises the question of the significance of work, play, power, and inequalities in the modern world. Studies tend to concentrate on the content of virtual games, but few have questioned how power is produced or reproduced by publishers, gamers, or even social media; how social exclusion (based on race, class, or gender) in the virtual environment is reproduced from the real world; and how actors are able to use new media to transcend their fears, anxieties, prejudices, and assumptions. The articles presented by the contributors in this volume represent cutting-edge research in the area of critical game play with the hope of drawing attention to the need for more studies that are both sociological and critical. This book represents cutting-edge research that addresses major issues of social exclusion, power and liberatory fantasies in virtual play. Specifically, the scope of the book examines three areas of concern: social psychological implications of virtual gameplay; reproduction and contestation of social inequality in virtual realms.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Few books have attempted to contextualize the importance of video game play with a critical social, cultural and political perspective that raises the question of the significance of work, pleasure, fantasy and play in the modern world. The study of why video game play is "fun" has often been relegated to psychology, or the disciplines of cultural anthropology, literary and media studies, communications and other assorted humanistic and social science disciplines. In Utopic Dreams and Apocalyptic Fantasies, Talmadge Wright, David Embrick and Andras Lukacs invites us to move further and consider questions on appropriate methods of researching games, understanding the carnival quality of modern life, the role of marketing in altering game narratives, and the role of fantasy and desire in modern video game play. Embracing an approach that combines a cultural and/or critical studies approach with a sociological understanding of this new media moves the debate beyond simple media effects, moral panics, and industry boosterism to one of asking critical questions, what does modern video game play "mean," what questions should we be asking, and what can sociological research contribute to answering these questions. This collection includes works which use textual analysis, audience based research, symbolic interactionism, as well as political economic and psychoanalytic perspectives to illuminate areas of inquiry that preserves the pleasure of modern play while asking tough questions about what such pleasure means in a world divided by political, economic, cultural and social inequalities. Utopic Dreams and Apocalyptic Fantasies invites us to examine critical questions about video game play, pleasure, and fantasy from a sociological perspective. This item is printed on demand.
