Disability Studies is an area of study which examines social, political, cultural, and economic factors that define 'disability' and establish personal and collective responses to difference. This insightful new text will introduce readers to the discipline of Disability Studies and enable them to engage in the lively debates within the field. By offering an accessible yet rigorous approach to Disability Studies, the authors provide a critical analysis of key current issues and consider ways in which the subject can be studied through national and international perspectives, policies, culture and history.
Key debates include:
The relationship between activism and the academy
Ways to study cultural and media representations of disability
The importance of disability history and how societies can change
National and international perspectives on children, childhood and education
Political perspectives on disability and identity
The place of the body in disability theory
This text offers real-world examples of topics that are important to debates and offers a much needed truly international scope on the questions at hand. It is an essential read for any individual studying, practising or with an interest in Disability Studies.
Название: Approaching transnational america in performance ISBN: 363166768X ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631667682 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 92290.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
The volume is uniquely located at the interdisciplinary crossroads of Performance Studies and transnational American Studies. As both a method and an object of study, performance deepens our understanding of transnational phenomena and America’s position in the world. The thirteen original contributions make use of the field’s vast potential and critically explore a wide array of cultural, political, social, and aesthetic performances on and off the stage. They scrutinize transnational trajectories and address issues central to the American Studies agenda such as representation, power, (ethnic and gender) identities, social mobility, and national imaginaries. As an American Studies endeavor, the volume highlights the cultural, political, and (inter)disciplinary implications of performance.

Название: The Einstein Connection: Ancient Myths & Scientific Theories of an Approaching Global Cataclysm ISBN: 0983309930 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780983309932 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 17190.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: We know that previous global cataclysms and floods were documented in ancient mythology from around the world, and many of these myths have predicted that it will happen again. And, now there is some scientific evidence to support this idea. It was Albert Einstein who was one of the first scientists to be convinced that the Earth had indeed been plagued by a reoccurring global cataclysm, and he collaborated with scientists studying this phenomenon. As incredible as it sounds, he also believed that such an event or a very similar one was responsible for periodic advances in human evolution, and he corresponded with a scientific theorist on this topic as well. Every few years it seems that someone is predicting "the end of the world", and they often cite ancient myths to support these predictions. Most of the books on this subject are either written by true believers, or by closed-minded skeptics, but what is the real truth? Is there any scientific evidence to back up these theories of an approaching global cataclysm? This book offers an objective, open-minded skeptic's scientific analysis of the odds of a global cataclysm occurring in our lifetime. It presents a complete index of all of the apocalyptic myths and prophecies form around the world, and the scientific theories to explain them. It contains the writings of Albert Einstein, Plato, Edgar Cayce, the Bible, the ancient Mayan books of the Popol Vuh and Chilam Balam, and many others. Most importantly, it presents the most recent scientific evidence both in support of and contradicting these apocalyptic theories, with some surprising conclusions. This is an absolutely fascinating investigation into one of the greatest mysteries of modern science, and the brilliant scientists who have studied it. The book is extremely well researched with over 200 references and a bibliography with over 90 sources, and yet it reads like a spell-binding mystery. Are we headed for another global catastrophe? Look at the evidence, then you decide.

Few diseases have exercised the Western imagination as chronically as hysteria--from the wandering womb of ancient Greek medicine, to the demonically possessed witch of the Renaissance; from the "vaporous" salong women of Enlightenment Paris, through to the celebrated patients of Sigmund Freud, with their extravagant, erotically charged symptoms. In this fascnating and authoritative book, Mark Micale surveys the range of past and present readings of hysteria by intellectual historians; historians of science and medicine; scholars in gender studies, art history, and literature; and psychoanalysts, psychiatriasts, clinical psychologists, and neurologists. In so doing, he explores numerous questions raised by this evergrowing body of literature: Why, in recent years, has the history of hysterical disorders carried such resonance for commentators in the sciences and humanities? What can we learn form the textual traditions of hysteria about writing the history of disease in general? What is the broader cultural meaning of the new hysteria studies? In the second half of the book, Micale discusses the many historical "cultures of hysteria." He reconstructs in detail the past usages of the hysteria concept as a powerful, descriptive trope in various nonmedical domains, including poetry, fiction, theater, social thought, political criticism, and the arts His book is a pioneering attempt to write the historical phenomenology of disease in an age preoccupied with health, and a prescriptive remedy for writing histories of disease in the future. Mark S. Micale is Assistant Professor of History at Yale. He is the editor of Beyond the Unconscious: Essays of Henri F. Ellenberger (Princeton).

Автор: Victor Fan Название: Cinema Approaching Reality: Locating Chinese Film Theory ISBN: 0816693552 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780816693559 Издательство: Marston Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 95040.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In Cinema Approaching Reality, Victor Fan brings together, for the first time, Chinese and Euro-American film theories and theorists to engage in critical debates about film in Shanghai and Hong Kong from the 1920s through 1940s. His point of departure is a term popularly employed by Chinese film critics during this period, bizhen, often translated as \u201clifelike\u201d but best understood as \u201capproaching reality.\u201d What these Chinese theorists mean, in Fan\u2019s reading, is that the cinematographic image is not a form of total reality, but it can allow spectators to apprehend an effect as though they had been there at the time when an event actually happened. Fan suggests that the phrase \u201capproaching reality\u201d can help to renegotiate an aporia (blind spot) that influential French film critic Andr\u00e9 Bazin wrestled with: the cinematographic image is a trace of reality, yet reality is absent in the cinematographic image, and the cinema makes present this absence as it reactivates the passage of time. Fan enriches Bazinian cinematic ontology with discussions on cinematic reality in Republican China and colonial Hong Kong, putting Western theorists—from Bazin and Kracauer to Baudrillard, Agamben, and Deleuze—into dialogue with their Chinese counterparts. The result is an eye-opening exploration of the potentialities in approaching cinema anew, especially in the photographic materiality following its digital turn.

Shusaku Endo is celebrated as one of Japan's great modern novelists, often described as Japan's Graham Greene, and Silence is considered by many Japanese and Western literary critics to be his masterpiece.
Approaching Silence is both a celebration of this award-winning novel as well as a significant contribution to the growing body of work on literature and religion. It features eminent scholars writing from Christian, Buddhist, literary, and historical perspectives, taking up, for example, the uneasy alliance between faith and doubt; the complexities of discipleship and martyrdom; the face of Christ; and, the bodhisattva ideal as well as the nature of suffering. It also frames Silence through a wider lens, comparing it to Endo's other works as well as to the fiction of other authors. Approaching Silence promises to deepen academic appreciation for Endo, within and beyond the West. Includes an Afterword by Martin Scorsese on adapting Silence for the screen as well as the full text of Steven Dietz's play adaptation of Endo's novel.

Название: Variations of Suburbanism: Approaching a Global Phenomenon ISBN: 3838207092 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783838207094 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 57200.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Considered to be sub-ordinated and sub-prime to the city, suburban areas receive little attention by researchers and designers. However, it is the rapidly growing areas outside central cities that pose the biggest questions of the urban millennium: How can the scattered patchwork of urban areas and social spaces linked by networks of highways and public transportation function as a sustainable and livable urban environment? Answering this question requires understanding suburban spaces as heterogeneous urban areas with distinct local characteristics, qualities, and problems. Following this path, Variations of Suburbanism explores the formation, characteristics, and trends of suburban areas all over the world. It provides insights on common features and differences of suburban governance, design, and infrastructure and discusses strategies to understand and design suburban areas in an increasingly suburbanizing world.
