In a Box - Merry Morash - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

In a Box - Merry Morash - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

In a Box draws on the experiences of more than one hundred Michigan women on probation or parole to analyze how court, state, and federal policies hamper the state’s efforts at gender-responsive reforms in community supervision. Closely narrating the stories of six of these women, Merry Morash shows how countervailing influences keep reform-oriented probation and parole agents and the women they supervise “in a box.” Supervisory approaches that attempt to move away from punitive frameworks are limited or blocked by neoliberal social policies. Inspired by the interviewees’ reflections on their own experiences, the book offers recommendations for truly effective reforms within and outside the justice system.

The Composer's Black Box - Theodore Gordon - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Composer's Black Box - Theodore Gordon - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Stories about new musical instruments are often told as quests for new kinds of sounds. The Composer's Black Box asks, What happens when new musical instruments produce not only new sounds but also new dynamics of musical agency and control? And what consequences do those new dynamics have for musicality beyond sound? With a focus on five key figures—Morton Subotnick, Pauline Oliveros, Donald Buchla, Alvin Lucier, and Sun Ra—this book explores how scientific and technological developments in mid-twentieth-century America galvanized musicians to reconfigure their conceptions of sociality, freedom, and the creative self. Theodore Gordon shows how cybernetic thinking in a range of disciplines, from experimental music to jazz and electrical engineering, shaped musical techniques and technologies and changed what it means to be a composer—or, more broadly, a music-making human—in an increasingly informational world.

Box, Pit, and Gallery - James J. Lynch - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Box, Pit, and Gallery - James J. Lynch - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Delve into the dynamic interplay of theater and society in 18th-century London with Box, Pit, and Gallery: Stage and Society in Johnson’s London. This meticulously researched volume provides an illuminating exploration of how the mid-century theater reflected and influenced the shifting social and political landscape of the time. From the Licensing Act of 1737 to the evolving repertory of Drury Lane and Covent Garden, the book examines the institutions, personalities, and performances that defined a period of remarkable cultural transformation. As industrialization reshaped urban life and colonial expansion stoked national pride, playwrights and performers adapted to the complexities of a society in transition, creating dramas that mirrored England's burgeoning imperial identity. This engaging study highlights the emergence of a new theatrical audience drawn from the rising middle class, the ascent of David Garrick as a transformative force in acting, and the enduring popularity of Shakespearean drama. Rich with historical detail, the book situates the mid-century stage within a broader narrative of cultural and aesthetic change, tracing how shifts in acting styles, audience expectations, and production practices ultimately influenced the trajectory of English drama. Box, Pit, and Gallery is an indispensable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of theater history, offering a compelling portrait of an era when the stage was a microcosm of a nation on the cusp of modernity. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1953.

Abortion Pills Go Global - Dr. Sydney Calkin - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Abortion Pills Go Global - Dr. Sydney Calkin - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

An unprecedented, up-close look into the global self-managed abortion movement. Abortion pills have made safe medication abortion possible for millions of people around the world, even in the most restrictive circumstances. In this timely book, Sydney Calkin illustrates the profound, transformative promise of these pills—which are safe, effective, and responsible for a sharp decline in maternal mortality. Abortion Pills Go Global demonstrates that the widespread practice of self-managed medication abortion makes it more difficult for countries to enforce oppressive abortion laws and less willing to do so. Taking a bold and unique geographic approach, this book follows these pills as they are manufactured and transported by feminist activists from India to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland, and the United States. Calkin shows that the growing availability of abortion pills in places with restrictive laws means more people have access to self-managed healthcare. Abortion Pills Go Global looks ahead to see how the broader politics of abortion could shift in response to this global movement—one that looks not to laws for protection but to on-the-ground feminist mobilizations across borders.

Black Box - Alexander Dallin - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Black Box - Alexander Dallin - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

On September 1, 1983, a Soviet fighter plane shot down a South Korean commercial airliner, KAL 007, killing all 269 persons aboard. Why did the jet stray hundreds of miles off course and fly for hours over Soviet territory, including sensitive nuclear and submarine installations? And why did the Soviets decide that that plane had to be brought down? These are the major questions this book addresses. It is the first book-length exploration of all the available information, and it weighs each of the hypotheses that has been advanced here and abroad to explain the dramatic episode, which led to a Soviet-American confrontation just as relations between the two super powers seemed to be on the verge of improvement. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

In Search of the Lost Decade - Jennifer Adair - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

In Search of the Lost Decade - Jennifer Adair - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

In 1983, following a military dictatorship that left thousands dead and disappeared and the economy in ruins, Raúl Alfonsín was elected president of Argentina on the strength of his pledge to prosecute the armed forces for their crimes and restore a measure of material well-being to Argentine lives. Food, housing, and full employment became the litmus tests of the new democracy. In Search of the Lost Decade reconsiders Argentina’s transition to democracy by examining the everyday meanings of rights and the lived experience of democratic return, far beyond the ballot box and corridors of power. Beginning with promises to eliminate hunger and ending with food shortages and burning supermarkets, Jennifer Adair provides an in-depth account of the Alfonsín government’s unfulfilled projects to ensure basic needs against the backdrop of a looming neoliberal world order. As it moves from the presidential palace to the streets, this original book offers a compelling reinterpretation of post-dictatorship Argentina and Latin America’s so-called lost decade.

Maverick Movies - Daniel Herbert - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Maverick Movies - Daniel Herbert - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Maverick Movies tells the improbable story of New Line Cinema, a company that cut a remarkable path through the American film industry and movie culture. Founded in 1967 as an art film distributor, New Line made a small fortune running John Waters's Pink Flamingos at midnight screenings in the 1970s and found reliable returns with the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise in the 1980s. By 2001, the company competed with the major Hollywood studios and reached global box office success with the Lord of the Rings franchise. Blurring boundaries between high and low culture, between independent film and Hollywood, and between the margins and the mainstream, New Line Cinema epitomizes Hollywood's shift in focus from the mass audience fostered by the classic studios to the multitude of niche audiences sought today.

Road Trip to Nowhere - Jon Lewis - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Road Trip to Nowhere - Jon Lewis - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

How a new generation of counterculture talent changed the landscape of Hollywood, the film industry, and celebrity culture. By 1967, the commercial and political impact on Hollywood of the sixties counterculture had become impossible to ignore. The studios were in bad shape, still contending with a generation-long box office slump and struggling to get young people into the habit of going to the movies. Road Trip to Nowhere examines a ten-year span (from 1967 to 1976) rife with uneasy encounters between artists caught up in the counterculture and a corporate establishment still clinging to a studio system on the brink of collapse. Out of this tumultuous period many among the young and talented walked away from celebrity, turning down the best job Hollywood—and America—had on offer: movie star. Road Trip to Nowhere elaborates a primary-sourced history of movie production culture, examining the lives of a number of talented actors who got wrapped up in the politics and lifestyles of the counterculture. Thoroughly put off by celebrity culture, actors like Dennis Hopper, Christopher Jones, Jean Seberg, and others rejected the aspirational backstory and inevitable material trappings of success, much to the chagrin of the studios and directors who backed them. In Road Trip to Nowhere, film historian Jon Lewis details dramatic encounters on movie sets and in corporate boardrooms, on the job and on the streets, and in doing so offers an entertaining and rigorous historical account of an out-of-touch Hollywood establishment and the counterculture workforce they would never come to understand.
