Cartoons in Hard Times - Tracey (university Of Leeds Mollet - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Cartoons in Hard Times - Tracey (university Of Leeds Mollet - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2018 Cartoons in Hard Times provides a comprehensive analysis of the short subject animation released by the Walt Disney and Warner Brothers from 1932 and 1945, one of the most turbulent periods in Unites States history. Through a combination of content analysis, historical understanding and archival research, this book sheds new light on a hitherto unexplored area of animation, suggesting the ways in which Disney and Warner Brothers animation engaged with historical, social, economic and political changes in this era. The book also traces the development of animation into a medium fit for propaganda in 1941 and the changes in characters, tone, music and narrative that took place to facilitate this transition. Animation transformed in this era from a medium of entertainment, to a socio-political commentator before finally undertaking government sponsored propaganda during the Second World War.

Lou Reed's Transformer - Ezra (independent Scholar Furman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Lou Reed's Transformer - Ezra (independent Scholar Furman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Transformer, Lou Reed''s most enduringly popular album, is described with varying labels: it''s often called a glam rock album, a proto-punk album, a commercial breakthrough for Lou Reed, and an album about being gay. And yet, it doesn''t neatly fit into any of these descriptors. Buried underneath the radio-friendly exterior lie coded confessions of the subversive, wounded intelligence that gives this album its staying power as a work of art. Here Lou Reed managed to make a fun, accessible rock''n''roll record that is also a troubled meditation on the ambiguities—sexual, musical and otherwise—that defined his public persona and helped make him one of the most fascinating and influential figures in rock history. Through close listening and personal reflections, songwriter Ezra Furman explores Reed''s and Transformer ''s unstable identities, and the secrets the songs challenge us to uncover.

Daily Life of Women in Chaucer's England - Jennifer C. Edwards - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Daily Life of Women in Chaucer's England - Jennifer C. Edwards - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Providing an indispensable resource for students and scholars studying the history of medieval women and gender, this book provides a comprehensive depiction of women''s lives in the 14th and 15th centuries. The late medieval period in England was one rich with opportunities for women, who played fundamental roles in family businesses as well as in the peasant community and economy, and who wrote letters, created autobiographies, and documented their spiritual journeys. Their lives fit into a pattern of seasonal celebrations and rituals shaped, for the majority of women, by work, marriage, and motherhood. The text further considers status distinctions, then shifts to experiences that affected all women, such as the ritual year, disease, food and drink, sex or celibacy, and religion.By providing an overview of the history of English women and gender in the 14th and 15th centuries, the book provides a background suitable for students as well as for academics beginning work in this field.

Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Graphic narratives are one of the world’s great art forms, but graphic novels and comics from Europe and the United States dominate scholarly conversations about them. Building upon the little extant scholarship on graphic narratives from the Global South, this collection moves beyond a narrow Western approach to this quickly expanding field. By focusing on texts from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, these essays expand the study of graphic narratives to a global scale. Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature is also interested in how these texts engage with, fit in with, or complicate notions of World Literature. The larger theoretical framework of World Literature is joined with the postcolonial, decolonial, Global South, and similar approaches that argue explicitly or implicitly for the viability of non-Western graphic narratives on their own terms. Ultimately, this collection explores the ways that the unique formal qualities of graphic narratives from the Global South intersect with issues facing the study of international literatures, such as translation, commodification, circulation, Orientalism, and many others.

The Laughter of the Thracian Woman - Hans Blumenberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Laughter of the Thracian Woman - Hans Blumenberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

An important work by 20-century philosopher Hans Blumenberg, here translated into English for the first time, The Laughter of the Thracian Woman describes the reception history of an anecdote best known from Plato’s Theaetetus dialogue: while focused on observing the stars, the early astronomer and proto-philosopher Thales of Miletus fails to see a well directly in his path and tumbles down. A Thracian servant girl laughs, amused that he sought to understand what was above him when he was not mindful of what was right in front of him. Blumenberg sees the story as a highly sought substitute for our missing knowledge of the earliest historical events that would fit the label “theory.” By retelling the anecdote, philosophers reveal their distinctive values regarding absorption in curiosity, philosophy’s past, and the demand that theorists abide by sanctioned methods and procedures. In this work and others, Blumenberg demonstrates that philosophers’ most beloved images and anecdotes have become indispensable to philosophy as metaphors; that is, as representations whose meanings remain indefinite and invite frequent reinterpretation.

Blue Jeans - Carolyn (independent Scholar Purnell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Blue Jeans - Carolyn (independent Scholar Purnell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Few clothing items are as ubiquitous or casual as blue jeans. Yet, their simplicity is deceptive. Blue jeans are nothing if not an exercise in opposites. Americans have accepted jeans as a symbol of their culture, but today jeans are a global consumer product category. Levi Strauss made blue jeans in the 1870s to withstand the hard work of mining, but denim has since become the epitome of leisure. In the 1950s, celebrities like Marlon Brando transformed the utilitarian clothing of industrial labor into a glamorous statement of youthful rebellion, and now, you can find jeans on chic fashion runways. For some, indigo blue might be the color of freedom, but for workers who have produced the dye, it has often been a color of oppression and tyranny. Blue Jeans considers the versatility of this iconic garment and investigates what makes denim a universal signifier, ready to fit any context, meaning, and body.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic .

Through the stories of these courageous yet entirely human women, readers learn about the experiences of a new and often forgotten generation of veterans; about the challenges surrounding family and career choices that millions of American women face; and ultimately, about sacrifice, resiliency, loss, and love. This book will inform readers with an interest in female veterans and women''s health and mental health issues, as well as researchers, students, and professionals working in fields encompassing women''s psychology, health, and social work.

Evolving Global Information Infrastructure and Information Transfer - Roger C. Greer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Evolving Global Information Infrastructure and Information Transfer - Roger C. Greer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book explains the rapidly changing, complex flow of information in the context of 21st-century culture, policy, technology, and economics—an essential resource for librarians and information specialists in all types of settings. The role of information professionals today is to interact creatively with clientele: to help them navigate the information infrastructure. Shattering the concept of the library as a place, Evolving Global Information Infrastructure and Information Transfer describes "the library" as transformed to a dynamic virtual presence in the information infrastructure, where people are the most important resources in a digital library or information center—not the collections. Instead of focusing on specific technologies, which are always changing, this book examines the "big picture" of how information is created, recorded, mass produced, distributed, and utilized in society. This unique approach enables readers to better understand how they fit into this changing world, to envision their place in the digital age, and to assume a leadership role that ensures the success of their clients as well as themselves. This standout work is ideally suited for all types of librarians, educators, information workers, members of the research community, and policymakers in public and private sector organizations.

Higher Education Outcomes Assessment for the Twenty-First Century - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Higher Education Outcomes Assessment for the Twenty-First Century - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book discusses recent trends in outcomes assessment, examines how state governments are reshaping the national discussion with higher education, and explains how libraries must respond to these changes. Higher Education Outcomes Assessment for the Twenty-first Century focuses on recent developments in outcomes assessment, especially from the perspectives of the federal government and state governments, as well as foundations concerned about the state of higher education. The authors identify the significant changes that these stakeholders call for—information that academic librarians and anyone following outcomes assessment need to be aware of—and interpret the discussions to identify implications for libraries.Building upon the foundation of knowledge presented in the previous two Libraries Unlimited Outcomes Assessment in Higher Education titles, this book provides readers with up-to-date coverage of topics such as the emerging metrics used to define student and institutional success; the increased importance of accountability and the need to compare and assess the performance of programs and institutions rather than individual courses; and the shift in prioritizing student outcomes over student learning outcomes. The authors also spotlight the critical need for libraries to fit their role within the national discussion and suggest ways in which library managers and directors can play a role in redirecting the discussion to their benefit.

Customizing Vendor Systems for Better User Experiences - Matthew Reidsma - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Customizing Vendor Systems for Better User Experiences - Matthew Reidsma - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Discover how—with relatively straightforward scripts and minimal coding—to customize the user interfaces to third-party systems from your library''s website for better communication with your users and to lead them to your library''s services. In order to provide access to online resources, libraries depend on third-party vendor software that comes with each product. While these systems do have value, they can also be confusing, awkward, frustrating, or even misleading for library users. Imagine how much better your patrons'' user experience would be if the software were customized specifically to fit your library. This how-to guide shows library staff how to take a DIY approach to customize the web interface to vendor-hosted online systems, thereby resolving usability problems and providing the ability to respond quickly to problems or evolving needs.The book begins with an explanation of how to test library vendor software for user experience, then goes on to present solutions to common usability problems through tutorials and case studies on using JavaScript or jQuery to change how a web browser displays that software. It also covers ongoing assessment methods to ensure that user needs have been satisfied. By using these tools, libraries can take some control of "black box" library software and customize it based on local needs.

Living Colour's Time's Up - Professor Or Dr. Kimberly (assistant Professor Mack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Living Colour's Time's Up - Professor Or Dr. Kimberly (assistant Professor Mack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The iconic Black rock band Living Colour''s Time''s Up , released in 1990, was recorded in the aftermath of the spectacular critical and commercial success of their debut record Vivid . Time''s Up is a musical and lyrical triumph, incorporating distinct forms and styles of music and featuring inspired collaborations with artists as varied as Little Richard, Queen Latifah, Maceo Parker, and Mick Jagger. The clash of sounds and styles don''t immediately fit. The confrontational hardcore-thrash metal - complete with Glover''s apocalyptic wail - in the title track is not a natural companion with Doug E. Fresh''s human beat box on “Tag Team Partners,” but it''s precisely this bold and brilliant collision that creates the barely-controlled chaos. And isn''t rock & roll about chaos?Living Colour''s sophomore effort holds great relevance in light of its forward-thinking politics and lyrical engagement with racism, classism, police brutality, and other social and political issues of great importance. Through interviews with members of Living Colour, and others involved in the making of Time''s Up , Kimberly Mack explores the creation and reception of this artistically challenging album, while examining the legacy of this culturally important and groundbreaking American rock band.

Gilberto Gil's Refazenda - Marc A. Hertzman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Gilberto Gil's Refazenda - Marc A. Hertzman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Refazenda connects a remarkable album by one of the 20th and 21st centuries'' great musicians to a dazzling, often unexpected, array of people and places spread across the globe from Brazil to England to Chile to Japan. Critics and fans often project (or impose) desires and interpretations onto Gil that don''t seem to fit. This book explores why familiar political and musical categories so often fall flat and explains why serendipity may instead be the best way to approach this mercurial album and the unrepeatable artist who created it. Based on years of listening to, studying, and teaching about Gil, and the author''s own encounters with the album around the world, this book argues that Refazenda does, in fact, contain radical messages, though they rarely appear in the form, shape, or places that we might expect. The book also includes the first English-language translations of the album''s lyrics, never-discussed-before 1970s Japanese liner notes, and a recounting of a forgotten moment when censors detained Gil during the album''s debut tour. 33 1/3 Global , a series related to but independent from 33 1/3 , takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.
