Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Internet activism is playing a crucial role in the democratic reform happening across many parts of Southeast Asia. Focusing on Subang Jaya, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, this study offers an in-depth examination of the workings of the Internet at the local level. In fact, Subang Jaya is regarded as…Malaysias electronic governance laboratory. The author explores its field of residential affairs, a digitally mediated social field in which residents, civil servants, politicians, online journalists and other social agents struggle over how the locality is to be governed at the dawn of the Information Era. Drawing on the field theories of both Pierre Bourdieu and the Manchester School of political anthropology, this study challenges the unquestioned predominance of network and community as the two key sociation concepts in contemporary Internet studies. The analysis extends field theory in four new directions, namely the complex articulations between personal networking and social fields, the uneven diffusion and circulation of new field technologies and contents, intra- and inter-field political crises, and the emergence of new forms of residential sociality. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Having taken over the leadership of the French school of sociology after the death of his uncle, Emile Durkheim, in 1917, Mauss, celebrated author of The Gift, re-launched the flagship journal, the Annee sociologique. Here are two of Mauss's most significant statements on the social sciences…. The first, written with Fauconnet, outlines the methodological orientations of the school. The second examines the internal organization of sociology as a division of intellectual labor. The essays are of interest to anthropologists as well as sociologists for Mauss, like Durkheim, did not distinguish in detail the two disciplines. Here are two of Mauss's most significant statements on the social sciences. The 1st, written with Fauconnet, outlines the methodological orientations of the school. The 2nd examines the internal organization of sociology as a division of intellectual labor. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A feminist study of the mood, texture, tone, and multifaceted meaning of director Sofia Coppolas aesthetic through her most influential and well-known films.A Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2019With this book Rogers has produced a sophisticated and impassioned analysis of Coppolas work Ro…gerss main argument that Coppola manipulates pleasurable images to unsettle rather than mollify us is utterly convincing. If nothing else, this certainly hits home in relation to my own enchantment with Coppolas work.Bright Lights Film JournalAll too often, the movies of Sofia Coppola have been dismissed as all style, no substance. But such an easy caricature, as this engaging and accessible survey of Coppolas oeuvre demonstrates, fundamentally misconstrues what are rich, ambiguous, meaningful films.Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, the author here takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy in The Virgin Suicides to the female gothic in The Beguiled. As Rogers shows, far from endorsing a facile and depoliticized postfeminism, Coppolas films instead deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy.From the Introduction:Sofia Coppola possesses a highly sophisticated and intricate knowledge of how images come to work on us; that is, she understands precisely how to construct an image what to add in and what to remove in order to achieve specific moods, tones and cinematic affects. She knows that similar kinds of images can have vastly different effects on the viewer depending on their context. This monograph is an extended study of Coppolas outstanding ability to think through and in images. Using the work of a range of feminist theorists, Backman Rogers situates Coppola's work as a critique of postfeminist lifestyles that offer the viewer a feminist and feminine philosophy through beguilement, mood and surface.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Presenting sixty theoretical ideas, David Zeitlyn asks How to write about anthropological theory without making a specific theoretical argument. David Zeitlyn has written a wryly engaging, short book on, essentially, why we should not become theoretical partisansthat, indeed, being a serious… theorist means accepting precisely that principle.Michael Herzfeld, Harvard UniversityTo answer, he offers a series of mini essays about an eclectic collection of theoretical concepts that he has found helpful over the years. The book celebrates the muddled inconsistencies in the ways that humans live their messy lives. There are, however, still patterns discernible: the actors can understand what is going on, they see an event unfolding in ways that are familiar, as belonging to a certain type and therefore, Zeitlyn suggests, so can researchers.From the introduction:This book promotes an eclectic, multi-faceted anthropology in which multiple approaches are applied in pursuit of the limited insights which each can afford. I do not endorse any one of these idea as supplying an exclusive path to enlightenment: I absolutely do not advocate any single position. As a devout nonconformist, I hope that the following sections provide material, ammunition and succour to those undertaking nuanced anthropological analysis (and their kin in related disciplines). Mixing up or combining different ideas and approaches can produce results that, in their breadth and richness, are productive for anthropology and other social sciences, reflecting the endless complexities of real life. This is my response to the death of grand theory. I see our task as learning how to deal with that bereavement and how to resist the siren lures of those promising synoptic overviews.This book is relevant to anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies and sociology. Presenting 60 theoretical ideas, David Zeitlyn asks, How to write about anthropological theory without making a specific theoretical argument? and Is it possible to practice anthropology without arguing for a single specific approach? To answer, he gives a series of mini-essays about an eclectic collection of theoretical concepts that over many years he has found helpful.

After surviving a perilous escape from Auschwitz's infamous death camps, William Herskovic miraculously made his way across Nazi-oc…cupied Europe. Becoming one of the first recorded eyewitnesses of Hitler's atrocities, he alerted the underground, and was eventually credited with the rescue of hundreds, perhaps thousands, bound for the gas chambers. Mireille, still only a teenager, managed to hide her parents in attics and rural homes, risking her life daily to venture out for the food to keep them alive. The Herskovic family survived the perils of the Holocaust with their souls and spirits soaring. Cought in the crossfire of Nazi oppression, two people triumph in this story of courage, luck and passion during one of the darkest moments of the 20th century.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Presenting the 1937 diaries of John F. Kennedys tour of Europe, this volume offers insights into his early experiences on a continent under the shadow of Nazism.In 1937, while still a student, John F. Kennedy undertook a grand tour of Europe with his close friend and traveling companion, Lem… Billings. On this journey he began to keep a diary, which is reproduced here in full and provides an unadulterated account of his thoughts and feelings. Superficially, it presents a picture of two young men enjoying their summer, sightseeing, going to the movies, bars and night clubs; but behind this we find, in Kennedys political observations and encounters, the looming shadow of Nazism. In retrospect there are blind spots and misjudgments, but also insights of great topicality, for example on populism, and propaganda and its potent effects. On this trip and during his later travels in Germany, Kennedy engaged with the crucial questions of his later presidency: How does a dictatorship work? How is an alternative concept of society to be countered? And how can an impending war be averted? Kennedys European and Russian policies and also his famous Berlin speech of 1963 (Ich bin ein Berliner) are to be understood against this background.In addition to numerous archive photographs, this volume contains Kennedys complete diary of his 1937 trip to Europe and, as a counterpart, the Scrapbook of Lem Billings who documented it from his perspective. Presenting the 1937 diaries of John F. Kennedy's tour of Europe alongside the "Scrapbook" of his travel companion, Lem Billings, John F. Kennedys Hidden Diary, Europe 1937 offers insights into Kennedy's early experiences on a continent under the shadow of Nazism.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. As corporate practices are becoming more fused with state processes, the state itself is increasingly taking on a corporate structure, as well as a more overt oligarchic character. Evidence of this can be seen in the growing domination of political organizations and institutions by close-kni…t social groups (familial dynasties, closed associations, or personal networks) that seek exclusive control over economic resources.These new forms of state power that are emerging are not reducible to the past, and the nation-state, as the essays in this volume show, is giving way to a political-economic formation that has multiple state-like effects and is able to act in ways systemic with deterritorializing global processes.Exploring these processes in different concrete locations from North America to Russia, West Africa, and Australia, the authors show that current configurations of global, imperial, and state power cannot be understood without examining their relation to formations of oligarchic control. They bring us closer to an understanding of the ways in which the nation-state is being transformed by globalization. The configurations of global, imperial, and state power relate to formations of oligarchic control. The nation-state, as the essays in this forum show, gives way to a political-economic formation that has multiple state-like effects, and is able to act in ways systemic with deterritorializing global processes.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Numerous humanly caused destructions of just the last hundred years dwarf the World Trade Center disaster, and the attention still addressed to it may over the next few years appear disproportionate. But the significance of events is always determined by the social, political, and cultural f…orces that are articulated through a particular event. The attack of 9/11 was an event waiting to happen, and when it did occur the even itself became a catalyst and impetus for the changing and redirection of global realities. This volume offers provocative assessments of the reaction to the event from a variety of perspectives that will no doubt stimulate the debate on the meaning and consequences of 9/11. Numerous humanly caused destructions of just the last hundred years dwarf the World Trade Center disaster, and the attention still addressed to it may over the next few years appear disproportionate. But the significance of events is always determined by the social, political, and cultural forces that are articulated through a particular event.
