From Theory to Action

Edited by PEPI LEISTYNALeistyna, Pepi

University of Massachusetts at Boston

“It should help return the field of cultural studies to some of the importantpolitical concerns that initially inspiredit and gave it vitality.”

ARIF DIRLIK, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

This landmark collection of key works

reinstates the political dimension into the

cultural studies project, demonstrating how

theory can be translated into social, political,

and cultural action. This dynamic volume

brings together work undertaken in

globalization, class analysis, media and

representational politics, racism, sexism, and

heterosexism. It uniquely juxtaposes major

theoretical pieces with ‘micro-literatures’ by

activists, artists, and teachers who are

striving hard to put theory into practice.

Questions ofMethod inCultural Studies of Method in Cultural Studies

Edited by MIMI WHITE & JAMES SCHWOCHWHITE, MIMI; SCHWOCH, JAMES

Both Northwestern University

QUESTIONS OF METHOD IN CULTURAL

STUDIES is a lively collection of work

from across the social sciences and

humanities which brings together

scholars to consider one of the most

vexing issues confronting the

proverbial ‘anti-discipline’ of cultural

studies.

2 Covers such topics as the media,

feminism, and politics

2 Identifies what methods have

prevailed in the interdisciplinary

pursuit of cultural studies, and

sketches out a methodological

paradigm

2 Analyzes what kinds of

methodological choices are

made, privileged, even attacked

in the academy and among the

disciplines.

Examining the relationship between

cultural studies and traditional

disciplines, the politics of knowledge,

and spatial and temporal models, this

book probes the possibility of method

in explicit terms for scholars and

students in media, communications,

sociology and allied fields.

Inventing Intelligence Inventing Intelligence

A Social History of Smart

PAUL MICHAEL PRIVATEERPrivateer, Paul

Arizona State University

What is intelligence? What makes humans

homo sapiens - the intelligent species?

Uncoupling our understanding of this most

familiar concept from its traditional social

science moorings, this book trains a cultural

studies lens on intelligence to expose it as yet

another form of representation.

Paul Privateer charts the history of intelligence

from its earliest articulations through to

postmodern AI. Individual chapters recount the

loving spheres of divine intelligence imagined

by Plato, the self-conscious stylings of the

Renaissance Man, the politics of intelligence in

the Enlightenment, as well as contemporary

assessments of digital intelligence and the

mysterious adventure of Einstein’s brain.

Ambitious in its historical sweep, unflinching in

its challenge to conventional wisdom,

INVENTING INTELLIGENCE is for everyone and

anyone who used to think that the parameters

and the stakes of intelligence had been

negotiated and finalized.

Death, Mourning, and Burial Death, Mourning, and Burial

A Cross-Cultural Reader

Edited by ANTONIUS C.G.M. ROBBENRobben, Antonius

Utrecht University

There are few topics that stir the imagination more than the study of how humans across

cultures have dealt with the inevitable and universally shared experience of death. This rich

selection of some of the finest ethnographic work offers cross-cultural readings that span

the period from dying to afterlife, approach this transition as a social process, and

demonstrate the great variation of cultural responses to death.

WILLIAM OUTHWAITEOUTHWAITE, WILLIAM

“A splendid and spirited work which will provoke a necessary debate.”

KRISHAN KUMAR, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

Is the notion of society obsolete? To answer this

question, leading social theorist William Outhwaite

considers various critiques of the concept that have

dominated recent debate, including the diverse

arguments of neo-liberals, postmodernists,

globalization theorists, and evolutionary psychologists.

Outhwaite takes a sympathetic look at these current

theoretical trends, using them to explain why we

have lost confidence in the concept of society. He

argues, however, that we do still need the concept in

order to make sense of the forces which structure our

lives.

many different theories. He deals in turn

with those theories that have made the

greatest impact in recent times, among

them phenomenological theory, reception

A Critical Introduction

Both Eastern Illinois University

Public relations is a multibillion

dollar industry dedicated to

public communication. Unlike its

sister field of advertising, public

relations is nearly invisible to

most people outside of the

industry. People do not ‘see’ the

way public relations shapes their

news, influences societal values,

or delivers important health

related information. Even many

newcomers to public relations

do not see beyond the writing

of news releases to appreciate

the effects public relations has

on society. When it is

considered at all, public relations

is often either accepted

unthinkingly as a positive tool

by large organizations or is the

subject of overly harsh critiques

in the popular press.

This book seeks to provide a

balanced view between public

relations as ‘all good’ and public

relations as ‘pure evil’ in its

impact on society. In addition to

looking at corporate issues in

PR, the book further examines

PR as a tool for marginalized

groups, including useful

discussions of power issues in

public relations theory and

practice.

For more than 50 years, SCHOLASTIC

JOURNALISM has served as a comprehensive

New forms of media and media technology

more important

than ever, and high

school journalism

is a crucial training

ground.

to include

updated information on the exciting new and

ongoing changes taking place in journalism.

With enhanced chapters on online writing and

extends the text’s tradition of introducing

students to the basics of good journalism and

blends it with the methods and demands of

BROADCASTING. This first-ever analysis of the

history and nature of off-color program

content explores the treatment of once-

forbidden topics in the electronic media,

investigating the

beliefs, attitudes

those who present

such material,

those who

condemn it, and

defend it.

Written from a

social and cultural perspective, DIRTY

DISCOURSE concentrates on the means of

greatest distribution - radio, with its

phenomenal growth of ‘shock jocks’ and rap

music lyrics - and provides some coverage

of television and the Internet. The book

shows how and why broadcasting has

evolved from the ribald antics of the

Roaring 20s to today’s shock jocks and

streaming cybersex. This paperback edition

This introduction to the art of rhetoric argues that

knowledge of rhetoric improves deliberation about

particular issues and problems. By mastering rhetorical

concepts and modes of argument, readers can address

the sometimes turbulent circumstances in their own

lives, times, and fields of study. But because rhetoric

speaks to the demands of the moment, it must be

practiced with an understanding of its historical context.

The Future ofEnvironmental Criticism vironmental Criticism, The

Environmental Crisis and Literary Imagination

LAWRENCE BUELLBUELL, Lawrence

Harvard University

This manifesto summarizes the disparate critical

practices that constitute

‘ecocriticism’. Lawrence Buell,

one of the world’s leading

theorists in this field, traces

the ecocritical movement

back to its roots in the 1970s,

through its coalescence into

a recognizable entity in the

early 1990s, to its

diversification and

proliferation today. He addresses questions currently

facing the discipline, such as: why has the interest in

environmental literary and cultural studies so quickly

increased? What is the meaning of ‘place’ in a globalizing

world? And how do aesthetic, ethical, and political

concerns interact and collide in ecocritical work?

JOKE HERMESHermes, Joke

University of Amsterdam

“A bold book, written with passionand verve, that challenges us totake a serious look at the role ofpopular culture in creating citizenship and democracy. It isthat rare thing: a brilliant book forstudying methods but also a political call for engagement.”

CHRISTINE GERAGHTY,

UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW

RE-READING POPULAR CULTURE is a key

guide to understanding the meanings

and value of popular culture today. It

explores the theme of cultural

citizenship by combining textual

analysis and media reception theory

to analyze popular culture. It includes

such contemporary issues as the

rewriting of masculinity after the

success of feminism, and the layers of

meaning in semi-public and private

talk of multiculturalism and ethnicity.

Joke Hermes tackles a variety of

media forms and texts, including

sports, detective fiction and police

series, and children’s television and

games. This is a fascinating and

illuminating study of popular culture

and its audience.

New Approaches to Film GenreSeries Editor: BARRY KEITH GRANTBrook University, Canada

This series provides students and teachers with original, insightful, and entertaining overviews of major film genres.

Each book in the series gives an historical appreciation of its topic, from its origins to the present day, and identifies

and discusses the important films, directors, trends, and cycles.

From Shane to Kill BillFrom Shane to Kill Bill

Rethinking the Western

PATRICK McGEEMcGee, Patrick

Louisiana State University

Original and compelling, FROM SHANE TO KILL BILL re-thinks what American

Western film has to offer us as a genre. Westerns have succeeded in dramatizing

the individual, defining the frontier myth, and promoting the limits of masculinity.

In tracing the development of the Western from 1939 to the present, this

entertaining book demonstrates that the genre is also a successful vehicle for

articulating class resentments and the social contradictions in American culture.

Offering sensitive readings that extend and deepen our understanding of the American West - from Shane,

Stagecoach and The Searchers to Pale Rider, Unforgiven, and Kill Bill - this book discusses the Western in new and

insightful ways. McGee appreciates the limits of this film genre, but also articulates its positive political value as an

expression of social desires typically unspoken in American public discourse. Informative and compelling, this book

suggests new understandings of this much-discussed genre.

A Brief Introduction

RICK WORLANDWORLAND, RICK

Southern Methodist University

Images, characters, and scenes from horror movies permeate our cultural

consciousness. Rick Worland delves into this, examining the ways in which

horror movies have been produced, received, and interpreted by filmmakers, audiences,

and critics throughout the medium’s history, from the l920s to the l990s. This concise volume offers a broad,

historical introduction to cinematic horror, outlining and investigating important issues in the production,

consumption, and cultural interpretation of the genre.

THE HORROR FILM surveys the various cultural antecedents of the horror film - in art, literature, and theater - for the

themes and motifs they share. Combining historical narrative with close readings of nine significant horror films -

including Frankenstein, Cat People, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween and Bram

Stoker’s Dracula - The Horror Film will be the definitive read for any movie-goer who thrills to a great and gory scare.

Edited by ANN E. CUDD & ROBIN O. ANDREASENCudd, Ann; Andreasen, Robin

University of Kansas; University of Delaware

This volume addresses seven

philosophically significant questions

regarding feminism, its central

concepts of sex and gender, and the

project of centering women’s

experience. The well-chosen essays

contemplate the nature of sexist

oppression; the sex/gender

distinction; how gender-based norms

influence conceptions of rationality,

knowledge, and scientific objectivity;

feminist ethics; feminist perspectives

on self and autonomy; whether there

exist distinct feminine moral

perspectives; and what would

comprise true liberation.

Women and Media Women and Media

A Critical Introduction

CAROLYN M. BYERLY & KAREN ROSSBYERLY, CAROLYN; Ross , Karen

Howard University; Coventry University

WOMEN AND MEDIA is a thoughtful cross-

cultural examination of the ways in which

women have worked inside and outside

mainstream media organizations since the

1970s. The book provides an overview of

the key issues and developments in

feminist media critiques and interventions

over the last 30 years, beginning with the

extant literature in this growing field and

ending with a new study of women’s

media activism in 20 nations.

The authors recount and analyze the first-

hand narratives of nearly 100 women

media activists whose work has contributed

to the making of a feminist public sphere

that has moved women leaders and

agendas more forcefully into their

societies. This highly original empirical

base, and the model of Women’s Media

Action that the authors developed, provide

a unique account of women’s struggles to

improve, create and otherwise employ

media in pushing for social change.

The book is written in a concise, engaging

style, laying out the central concerns about

the women-media relationship as it has

operated in a variety of political/critical

contexts. It can be used alongside Women

and Media: International Perspectives

(Blackwell Publishing 2004), by the same

editors.

The Idea ofEnglish Ethnicity nglish Ethnicity, The

ROBERT J.C. YOUNGYoung, Robert

New York University

In recent years, particularly since

devolution in the UK, there have been

many attempts to identify exactly

what constitutes Englishness. In this

major contribution to debates about

English identity, leading theorist

Robert Young argues that the recent

uncertainty about the nature of the

English arises from more than just the

challenges of devolution.

Young argues that instead it is the

long-term result of the fact that in the

nineteenth and early twentieth

centuries, Englishness was never really

about England, its essence or national

character, at all. Rather, it was

developed as a form of long-distance

nationalism, as an ethnic identity for

those who were precisely not English,

but rather made up the English

diaspora around the world: Americans,

Canadians, Australians, New

Zealanders, and South Africans.

Englishness was constructed as a

translatable quality or identity that

could be taken on or appropriated

anywhere, which is why the most

English Englishmen have always been

Americans.

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak was first

catapulted to fame as the translator

and interpreter of Jacques Derrida’s

Of Grammatology, and subsequently

became instrumental in creating

and shaping the field of postcolonial

Spivak’s works through the key

from them. In a substantial

introduction, Sangeeta Ray assesses

Spivak’s often contentious

relationship with feminist and

postcolonial studies and considers

the significance of her work for

other fields, such as ethnography,

history, cultural studies and

philosophy.

An Introductory Textbook

Edited by LOIS P. RUDNICK, JUDITH E. SMITH & RACHEL LEE RUBINRUDNICK, LOIS SMITH, JUDITH RUBIN, RACHEL LEE

All University of Massachusetts at Boston

AMERICAN IDENTITIES is a dazzling array of primary

documents and critical essays culled from American

history, literature, memoir, and popular culture that

explore major currents and trends in American

history from 1945 to the present. The textbook

charts the rich multiplicity of American identities as

refracted through the different lenses of race, class,

and gender, and shaped by common historical social

processes such as migration, families, work, and war.

Rather than simply teaching history, AMERICAN

IDENTITIES actively engages students in the history-

making process while developing the skills crucial to

interpreting meaningful and enduring cultural texts.

Substantial editorial matter and the accompanying

instructor’s guide provide resources for classroom

use and for student projects, including:

2 Headnotes and study guide

questions for each reading

2 Exercises for individual

and group reading and

viewing

2 Timelines

2 Interview questions

2 Bibliographies to guide

students into becoming readers of American

culture and historians of their families.

This groundbreaking collection explores the role of the ‘visual’ in shaping American

identity and visions of belonging in the twentieth century. Introducing students to the visual in

all its complexity and variety on the American scene - the language of signs, the historical

construction and meaning of ‘types’, and the uses and politics of photography, film, bodily

display, and documentaries - the volume underscores the productivity of the visual in thinking

about race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and regionality. It clearly demonstrates that the ways in

which people see and are seen determine who they are and how they see themselves as

citizens and Americans.

Suggested readings, a primer on how to ‘read’ an image, and a listing of visual archives and

collections complete the volume, making this an indispensable text for those in American

studies and related fields.

GAIL McDONALDMCDONALD, GAIL

University of North Carolina at Greensboro

This introduction to American

literature and culture addresses four

common conceptions of the United

States: that it is ‘big’, ‘rich’, ‘new’, and

‘free’. Designed to illustrate the

artistic and social climate in the USA

from 1900 to 1960, the book

discusses a range of artistic and

cultural productions from the period

that reinforce, revise, dispute, or

deny these commonly held views of

the country.
