k.d. lang's Ingenue - Joanna Mcnaney Stein - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

k.d. lang's Ingenue - Joanna Mcnaney Stein - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Canadian performer k.d. lang broke new ground in the 1980s by blending the genres of punk and country, dubbed “cowpunk,” with her band, the Reclines. Despite Grammy-award-winning recordings and frequent North American TV spots, mainstream country radio excluded lang from airplay due to her unconventional gender presentation and perceived sexuality. Not until lang’s 1992 pop album Ingénue , the release of the single “Constant Craving,” and her subsequent coming out in The Advocate did lang earn critical acclaim worldwide.The book addresses lang’s rise to fame after switching genres, the successful reinvention of her sound and persona, and how she found herself immersed in the whirlwind of MTV and the "lesbian chic" aesthetic of 1990s pop culture. As an LGBTQ author, Joanna McNaney Stein discusses her adolescence and sexual development by weaving in short narrative prose pieces with her analysis of lang and Ingénue. Also included are interviews with lang''s musical collaborators: Ingénue co-writer Ben Mink, drummer Fred Eltringham, pianist Daniel Clarke, and singer-songwriter Laura Veirs.

Utopia and Its Discontents - Dr Sebastian Mitchell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Utopia and Its Discontents - Dr Sebastian Mitchell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Utopia and its Discontents traces literary representations of ideal communities from Plato to the 21st century. Each chapter offers close readings of key utopian and anti-utopian texts to demonstrate how they construct, challenge and explore the ideas and forms of earlier utopian writings and the social and political ideals of their own periods. The book explores how literary utopias are often as much about the past as they are about the present and the future. Utopia and Its Discontents covers such topics as: - Early political and philosophical writers, such as Aristotle and Thomas More - Literary works, from Voltaire''s Candide to George Orwell''s 1984 - Science fiction writers such as H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and Brian Aldiss - Ecological and feminist texts by Ursula Le Guin and Margaret Atwood - Utopian cinema, from Fritz Lang''s Metropolis to Ridley Scott''s Blade Runner With annotated chapter-by-chapter guides to further reading, this is an essential study for students and scholars of utopian literature.

Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This cross-disciplinary volume, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Framed and Unframed , explores and complicates our understanding of Pasolini today, probing notions of otherness in his works, his media image, and his legacy. Over 40 years after his death Pier Paolo Pasolini continues to challenge and interest us, both in academic circles and in popular discourses. Today his films stand as lampposts of Italian cinematic production, his cinematic theories resonate broadly through academic circles, and his philosophical, essayistic, and journalistic writings—albeit relatively sparsely translated into other languages—are still widely influential. Pasolini has also become an image, a mascot, a face on tote bags, a graffiti image on walls, an adjective (pasolinian). The collected essays push us to consider and reconsider Pasolini, a thinker for the twenty-first century.

Einsturzende Neubauten's Kollaps - Melle Jan Kromhout - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Einsturzende Neubauten's Kollaps - Melle Jan Kromhout - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Perhaps the best musical encapsulation of the Cold War as experienced in the walled city of West-Berlin, Kollaps is a product of its time while remaining as vital, exhilarating and surprising as the day it was released. The book explores the contexts, themes and influences that shaped Kollaps. It describes the early days of Einstürzende Neubauten in West-Berlin, their infamous live performances and guerilla style recording tactics, and the scrap metal banging, piercing guitar noise and evocative lyricism that went on to inspire generations of fans. Most significantly, it explores the desire and deep sense of belonging that is expressed by what Nick Cave called the ‘incredibly mournful, haunting’ nature of this music. The beginning of a 40-year career, this first burst of energy remains their purest statement.

Britney Spears's Blackout - Natasha (independent Scholar Lasky - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Britney Spears's Blackout - Natasha (independent Scholar Lasky - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Britney Spears barely survived 2007. She divorced her husband, lost custody of her kids, went to rehab, shaved her head and assaulted a paparazzo. In the midst of her public breakdown, she managed to record an album, Blackout. Critics thought it spelled the end for Britney Spears’ career. But Blackout turned out to be one of the most influential albums of the aughts. It not only brought glitchy digital noise and dubstep into the Top 40, but also transformed Britney into a new kind of pop star, one who shrugged off mainstream ubiquity for the devotion of smaller groups of fans who worshipped her idiosyncratic sound. This book returns to the grimy clubs and paparazzi hangouts of LA in the 2000s as well as the blogs and forums of the early internet to show how Blackout was a crucial hinge between twentieth and twenty-first-century pop.

Hollywood and the Baby Boom - Professor James Russell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Hollywood and the Baby Boom - Professor James Russell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Between 1946 and 1964 seventy-five million babies were born, dwarfing the generations that preceded and succeeded them. At each stage of its life-cycle, the baby boom’s great size has dictated the terms of national policy and public debate. While aspects of this history are well-documented, the relationship between the baby boom and Hollywood has never been explored. And yet, for almost 40 years, baby boomers made up the majority of Hollywood’s audience, and since the 1970s, boomers have dominated movie production. Hollywood and the Baby Boom weaves together interviews with leading filmmakers, archival research and the memories of hundreds of ordinary filmgoers to tell the full story of Hollywood’s relationship with the boomers for the first time. The authors demonstrate the profound influence of the boomers on the ways that movies were made, seen and understood since the 1950s. The result is a compelling new account that draws upon an unprecedented range of sources, and offers new insights into the history of American movies.

Healthcare Teamwork - Theresa J.k. Drinka - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Both comprehensive and accessible, this is an ideal resource for anyone who plans to teach or practice integrated, cost-effective healthcare in the 21st century.

This book explores both sides of the problem, bringing interprofessional practice and education together to show how they are complementary—and how they can be integrated to provide better care.In many respects, this book is a personal account of the authors'' experience with interprofessional teamwork and education over the past 40 years. It discusses what works and what doesn''t and includes interviews, examples, and case studies that illustrate the perspectives of healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers. This second edition illuminates ways in which today''s business model has changed interprofessional healthcare team practice and education, and it examines the needs of patients relative to healthcare teams and practitioner education. An entire chapter is devoted to the patient''s position as both teacher and learner in relation to the team. The theoretical foundations of practice and education are highlighted, but the book also shares models that can be used for the practical development of programs.
