David Andress 44067

Cultural Dementia

Head of Zeus, 2018. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 168. David Andress argues that we are suffering from an attack of social and cultural dementia. The former great powers of the historic "West"-especially Britain, the U.S. and France-seem to be abandoning the wisdom of maturity for senile daydreams of recovered youth. Along the way they are stirring up old hatreds, giving disturbing voice to destructive rage, and risking the collapse of their capacity for decisive, effective and just governance. At the core of this dangerous turn is an abandonment of political attention to history, understood as a clear empirical grounding in how we reached our present condition. Historical stories are deployed in public debate as little more than dangerous fantasies. In this blistering assessment David Andress, one of Britain's leading historians of the age of revolutions, shows how the West has abandoned its history and has lost its bearings and its memory.

Matthew Arnold 13075

Culture and Anarchy

Cambridge University Press, 1960. Paperback. Pp: 241. Manifesting the special intelligence of a literary critic of original gifts, Culture and Anarchy is still a living classic. It is addressed to the flexible and the disinterested, to those who are not committed to the findings of their particular discipline, and it assumes in its reader a critical intelligence that will begin its work with the reader himself. Arnold employs a delicate and stringent irony in an examination of the society of his time: a rapidly expanding industrial society, just beginning to accustom itself to the changes in its institutions that the pace of its own development called for. Coming virtually at the end of the decade (1868) and immediately prior to W. E. Forster's Education Act, Culture and Anarchy phrases with a particular cogency the problems that find their centre in the questions: what kind of life do we think individuals in mass societies should be assisted to lead? How may we best ensure that the quality of their living is not impoverished? Arnold applies himself to the detail of his time: to the case of Mr Smith 'who feared he would come to poverty and be eternally lost', to the Reform agitation, to the commercial values that working people were encouraged to respect, and to the limitations of even the best Rationalist intelligence. The degree of local reference is therefore high, but John Dover Wilson's introduction and notes to this edition supply valuable assistance to a reader fresh to the period. ISBN: 9780521091039.

Culture of fear revisited. Risk-taking and the morality of low expectation

Continuum Intl Pub Group, 2006. Paperback. Pp: 212. Argues that the greater danger in our culture is the tendency to fear achievements representing a more constructive side of humanity. This work relates the author's thinking on the sociology of fear to the thought of earlier thinkers such as Darwin and Fred and to the sociological tradition of Durkheim, C Wright Mills, Anthony Giddens and others. Fear has become an ever-expanding part of life in the West in the twenty-first century. We live in terror of disease, abuse, stranger danger, environmental devastation and terrorist onslaught. We are bombarded with reports of new concerns for our safety and that of our children, and urged to take greater precautions and seek more protection. But compared to the past, or to the developing world, people in contemporary Western societies have much less familiarity with pain, suffering, debilitating disease and death. We actually enjoy an unprecedented level of personal safety. When confronted with events like the destruction of the World Trade Centre, fear for the future is inevitable. But what happened on September 11th 2001 was in many ways an old fashioned act of terror, representing the destructive side of the human passions. Frank Furedi argues that the greater danger in our culture is the tendency to fear achievements representing a more constructive side of humanity. We panic about GM food, about genetic research, about the health dangers of mobile phones. The facts often fail to support the scare stories about new or growing risks to our health and safety.

Frank Browning 84461

The Culture of Desire

Crown, 1993. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 241. What is gay culture? Does it really exist? In this provocative and controversial book, Frank Browning asks the question gay men ask themselves: Can a society based on sexual desire truly call i tself a culture? In the twenty-five years since homosexual lives first emerged from the shadows, gay men have staked out the frontier of contemporary living - from AIDS to feminism, from political activism to public sex, from the inv ention of the self to the reinvention of the American family. This is the story of how gay men come together today. In "The Culture of Desire", Frank Browning embarks on a transcontinental exploration of the worlds gay men have creat ed. The AIDS drug underground in Miami and Los Angeles. The queer goings-on in Disneyland and Fire Island Pines. The Gay Games in Vancouver. West Coast sex clubs. Browning says that culture - especially gay culture - thrives only when it embraces its own paradoxes. Filled with vivid characters, explicit in the stories, and generous in its spirit, the book explains gay life to those who are living it - to all those who care about the paradoxes of America itself.

Culturele studies. Theorie in de praktijk

Vantilt, Uitgeverij. Paperback. Pp: 206. Aan de hand van analyses van een aantal relevante, hedendaagse voorbeelden biedt Culturele studies. Theorie in de praktijk een overzicht van de geschiedenis, de belangrijkste stromingen en de sleutelbegrippen van de interdisciplinaire studie naar cultuur in de breedste zin van het woord. Van de omgang met populaire cultuur, postkoloniale kritiek en mediastudies of de aandacht voor etniciteit: dit handboek laat zien dat culturele studies een zeer betrokken en productieve manier van vragen stellen is die voortdurend aandacht heeft voor de wereld waarvan zij onmiskenbaar deel uitmaakt. Het maakt duidelijk dat culturele studies in de eerste plaats een praktijk is: een constante dialoog tussen de brede maatschappelijke context, het onderzoek en al die uiteenlopende onderwerpen die samen 'cultuur' vormen. Culturele studies. Theorie in de praktijk behandelt de grenzeloze verscheidenheid van hedendaagse cultuur. Van nationale identiteit tot het homohuwelijk, van film, literatuur of de graphic novel tot games en Google, en van tatoeages tot cameratoezicht. Dit boek belicht zodoende de productieve spanning tussen theorie en praktijk en stelt de lezer in staat zelf essentiële vragen te stellen. ISBN: 9789460040283. Cond./Kwaliteit: Ramsj.
