Titre : American Thought and Culture in the 21st Century Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Martin Halliwell, Auteur ; Catherine Morley, Auteur Editeur : Edinburgh University Press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 324p. Format : 17x24cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7486-2602-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Will the twenty-first century be the next American Century? Will American power and ideas dominate the globe in the coming years? Or is the prestige of the United States likely to crumble beneath the pressure of new international challenges? This ground-breaking book explores the changing patterns of American thought and culture at the dawn of the new millennium, when the world's richest nation has never been more powerful or more controversial. It brings together some of the most eminent North American and European thinkers to investigate the crucial issues and challenges facing the United States during the early years of our new century. From the subterranean political shifts beneath the electoral landscape to the latest biomedical advances, from the literary response to 9/11 to the rise of reality television, this book explores the political, social and cultural contours of contemporary American life - but it also places the United States within a global narrative of commerce, cultural exchange, international diplomacy, ideological conflict and war. These eighteen new essays address such pressing issues as leadership, foreign policy, propaganda, religion, health, technology, immigration, 9/11 culture and digital media. Searching for the roots of our contemporary concerns, the authors look back to the Clinton years and even earlier periods of twentieth-century American life. But they also look forward to the new horizons of the century to come - to the unanticipated dangers of a global future and to the soaring possibilities of American enterprise and imagination.

Titre : Black Studies and the Democratization of American Higher Education Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charles P. Henry, Auteur Editeur : ‎ Palgrave Macmillan Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 279 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-319-35088-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This book aims to expand what scholars know and who is included in this discussion about black studies, which aids in the democratization of American higher education and the deconstruction of traditional disciplines of high education, to facilitate a sense of social justice. By challenging traditional disciplines, black studies reveals not only the political role of American universities but also the political aspects of the disciplines that constitute their core. While black studies is post-modern in its deconstruction of positivism and universalism, it does not support a radical rejection of all attempts to determine truth. Evolving from a form of black cultural nationalism, it challenges the perceived white cultural nationalist norm and has become a critical multiculturalism that is more global and less gendered. Henry argues for the inclusion of black studies beyond the curriculum of colleges and universities.

Titre : A History of African Popular Culture Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Karin Barber, Auteur Editeur : U.K.cambridge university press Année de publication : 2018 Collection : New Approaches to African History Importance : 206p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-62447-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Popular culture in Africa is the product of everyday life: the unofficial, the non-canonical. And it is the dynamism of this culture that makes Africa what it is. In this book, Karin Barber offers a journey through the history of music, theatre, fiction, song, dance, poetry, and film from the seventeenth century to the present day. From satires created by those living in West African coastal towns in the era of the slave trade, to the poetry and fiction of townships and mine compounds in South Africa, and from today's East African streets where Swahili hip hop artists gather to the juggernaut of the Nollywood film industry, this book weaves together a wealth of sites and scenes of cultural production. In doing so, it provides an ideal text for students and researchers seeking to learn more about the diversity, specificity and vibrancy of popular cultural forms in African history.

Titre : A History of Everyday Life in Scotland, 1800 to 1900 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Graeme Morton, Auteur ; Trevor Griffiths, Auteur Editeur : Edinburgh Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 328p. Format : 16X24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7486-2170-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The nineteenth century was a period of profound change in Scottish history. Industrialisation, improved communications, agricultural transformation, country to town migration, upheavals in the church, increased trade, and imperialism -- all these affected the pace and rhythm of everyday life across the country. At the same time increased literacy helped to generate new patterns of identity, extending beyond the local to encompass the nation, which challenged certainties of how the world was viewed. With new styles of living came new dangers to the physical and moral health of the population, and increased apprehension of crime and disorder. Industrialisation created opportunities for consumption and recreation but with tangible environmental and economic costs. Rural Scotland adjusted to changes in farming practice and the traumas of population loss and began to look to the opportunities presented by recreation and tourism. The large-scale creation and survival of documentary evidence and records make the study of everyday life during this period practicable in depth for the first time. This volume presents a vivid account that includes the experiences of all the people of Scotland. It draws on every kind of available evidence and on work in social and cultural history, sociology and anthropology.

Format : 17x24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-84-9171-205-3 Langues : Espagnol (spa) Résumé : "Dirigido a todos los interesados en el lenguaje y la comunicación, este libro expone una introducción a la pragmática entendida precisamente como la disciplina lingüÃstica que estudia el uso del lenguaje, es decir, su utilización en los contextos comunicativos por parte de hablantes y oyentes. La producción e interpretación de mensajes lingüÃsticos es posible gracias a los mecanismos y estructuras de la lengua, pero también a las convenciones sociales y a los procesos cognitivos en que participa el código verbal. Teniendo en cuenta sus raÃces y precedentes, la pragmática se presenta a lo largo de esta obra en su relación con las otras disciplinas lingüÃsticas (gramática, semántica, sociolingüÃstica, análisis del discurso) y se describe con sus principales áreas (actos de habla, deÃxis, inferencias, cortesÃa...) y con sus consiguientes orientaciones, tanto teóricas como aplicadas, que van desde la pragmaestilÃstica (o pragmática de la variación funcional) hasta la pragmática contrastiva e intercultural.

Titre : Negotiating Power in Early Modern Society : Order, Hierarchy and Subordination in Britain and Ireland Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael J. Braddick, Auteur ; John Walter, Auteur Mention d'édition : Reprint edition Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 320p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-108-71645-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Addressing the dynamics of power in early modern societies, this book challenges the existing tendency to see past societies in terms of binary oppositions - such as male/female, rich/poor, rulers/ruled - in which the disadvantaged have influence only in moments of direct confrontation. Drawing on recent social theory, the essays offer a series of micro-sociologies of power in early modern society, ranging from the politics of age, gender and class to the politics of state-building in the post-Reformation confessional state. They explore the weapons with which subordinated groups in their everyday lives could moderate the exercise of power over them. Recovering the agency of the disadvantaged, the book also explores the limits to the power that the disadvantaged could claim in the past. Its findings also have relevance for thinking about inequality in present-day societies.

Titre : Pragmatism and American Experience : An Introduction Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Joan Richardson, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 278 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-14538-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Pragmatism and American Experience provides a lucid and elegant introduction to America's defining philosophy. Joan Richardson charts the nineteenth-century origins of pragmatist thought and its development through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, focusing on the major first- and second-generation figures and how their contributions continue to influence philosophical discourse today. At the same time, Richardson casts pragmatism as the method it was designed to be: a way of making ideas clear, examining beliefs, and breaking old habits and reinforcing new and useful ones in the interest of maintaining healthy communities through ongoing conversation. Through this practice we come to perceive, as William James did, that thinking is as natural as breathing, and that the essential work of pragmatism is to open channels essential to all experience.

Titre : The Puritans in Power : A Study in the History of the English Church from 1640 to 1660 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : G. B.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-63370-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Originally published in 1913, this book presents a study of the effect of the Puritan Revolution upon the Church of England and the Universities, as institutions closely connected with the Church. The text focuses on the immediate and material results of the Revolution, rather than the influence exercised upon religious thought, the future history of parties within the Church or the relations of the Church to Dissent. Evidence is collected regarding the methods through which the Revolution was accomplished and the outward aspects of the Puritan movement. Appendices are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Puritanism, British history and the history of Christianity.
