Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children have occupied a prominent place in Yiddish literature since early modern times but children’s literature as a genre has its beginnings in the early 20th century. Its emergence reflected the desire of Jewish intellectuals to introduce modern forms of education and promote ideological agendas both in Eastern Europe and in immigrant communities elsewhere. Before the Second World War a number of publishing houses and periodicals in Europe and the Americas specialized in stories novels and poems for various age groups. Prominent authors such as Yankev Glatshteyn Der Nister Joseph Opatoshu Leyb Kvitko made original contributions to the genre while artists such as Marc Chagall El Lissitzky and Yisakhar Ber Rybak also took an active part. In the Soviet Union meanwhile children’s literature provided an opportunity to escape strong ideological pressure. Yiddish children’s literature is still being produced today both for secular and strongly Orthodox communities. This volume is a pioneering collective study not only of children’s literature but of the role played by children in literature. | Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Fascism Populism and American Democracy

Fascism Populism and American Democracy

Hard right-wing politics is growing in popularity in America marked by Donald Trump’s success in the 2016 election and it is worth questioning what this means for the American democratic system.

Various forms of American right-wing extremism are examined here such as the alt-right the radical right and the Religious right but their perceived relevance to Trump’s victory is questioned. Even still this book asks the question: can the far-right prevail under the American way? | Fascism Populism and American Democracy

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions offers an in-depth analysis of the multiple roles that exhibition graphics perform in contemporary museums and exhibitions. Drawing on a study of exhibitions that took place at the Victoria and Albert Museum London the Museum of London and the Haus der Geschichte Bonn Piehl brings together approaches from museum studies design practice and narrative theory to examine museum exhibitions as multimodal narratives in which graphics account for one set of narrative resources.

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

What if philosophy could solve the psychological puzzle of trauma? Embodied Trauma and Healing argues just that suggesting that one might be needed in order to understand the other. The book demonstrates how the body-mind problem that haunted Descartes was addressed by phenomenologists whilst also proposing that the human experience is lived subjectively as embodied consciousness. Throughout this book the author suggests that the phenomenological tools that are used to explore the body can also be an effective way to discuss the physical and mental aspects of embodied trauma. Drawing on the work of Paul Ricœur Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Lévinas the book outlines a phenomenological approach to the embodied and relational subject. It offers a reading of embodied trauma that can connect it to wider conversations in psychological underpinnings of trauma through Peter Levine’s somatic research and Bessel van der Kolk’s embodied remembering. Connecting to the analytic tradition the book suggests that phenomenology can unify both language-based and body-based therapeutic practice. It also presents a compelling discussion that ties the embodied experience of relation in trauma to the wider causal factors of social suffering and relational rupture intergenerational trauma and the trauma of land as informed by phenomenology. Embodied Trauma and Healing is essential reading for researchers within the fields of philosophy psychology and medical humanities for it actively engages with contemporary configurations of trauma theory and recent research developments in healing and mental disorder diagnosis. | Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

Citizen Journalism Practices Propaganda Pedagogy

Citizen Journalism Practices Propaganda Pedagogy

Citizen Journalism explores citizen participation in the news as an evolving disruptive practice in digital journalism. This volume moves beyond the debates over the mainstream news media attempts to control and contain citizen journalism to focus attention in a different direction: the peripheries of traditional journalism. Here more independent forms of citizen journalism enabled by social media are creating their own forms of news. Among the actors at the boundaries of the professional journalism field the book identifies are the engaged citizen journalist and the enraged citizen journalist. The former consists of under-represented voices leading social justice movements while the latter reflects the views of conservatives and the alt-right who often view citizen journalism as a performance. Citizen Journalism further explores how non-journalism arenas such as citizen science enable ordinary citizens to collect data and become protectors of the environment. Citizen Journalism serves as an important reminder of the professional field’s failure to effectively respond to the changing nature of public communication. These changes have helped to create new spaces for new actors; in such places traditional as well as upstart forms of journalism negotiate and compete ultimately aiding the journalism field in creating its future. | Citizen Journalism Practices Propaganda Pedagogy

Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Out of Hiding: Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can Be Stopped explains how white supremacist extremism endures the varied forms it takes its relationship with systemic racism and what to do about it. The book draws on more than 30 years of extensive data and direct experiences with extremists to describe how white supremacy moved into the spotlight during the first two decades of the 21st century. The argument focuses on three moments between 2008 and today during which white supremacists took opportunities to move from pockets of underground activism to violent protests across the United States. The authors offer a corrective to observers who mischaracterize today’s racial extremism as a new form of ‘alt-right’ conservatism or ‘white nationalism’ emanating from an isolated poorly educated and economically disenfranchised online fringe. These misunderstandings reflect the limited attention given to the varied and persistent forms of racial extremism that have long simmered in America and an inability to acknowledge the appeal white supremacist messages can hold for a broad swath of the U. S. population. This volume contributes a longer view than other books to demonstrate that today’s white supremacy is less a unique eruption than a continuation –and an acceleration –of longstanding U. S. white supremacy. This is essential reading for scholars and activists interested in racism white supremacy and far-right extremism. | Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music

Released in 1952 the Anthology of American Folk Music was the singular vision of the enigmatic artist musicologist and collector Harry Smith (1923–1991). A collection of eighty-four commercial recordings of American vernacular and folk music originally issued between 1927 and 1932 the Anthology featured an eclectic and idiosyncratic mixture of blues and hillbilly songs ballads old and new dance music gospel and numerous other performances less easy to classify. Where previous collections of folk music both printed and recorded had privileged field recordings and oral transmission Smith purposefully shaped his collection from previously released commercial records pointedly blurring established racial boundaries in his selection and organisation of performances. Indeed more than just a ground-breaking collection of old recordings the Anthology was itself a kind of performance on the part of its creator. Over the six decades of its existence however it has continued to exert considerable influence on generations of musicians artists and writers. It has been credited with inspiring the North American folk revival—The Anthology was our bible asserted Dave Van Ronk in 1991 We all knew every word of every song on it—and with profoundly influencing Bob Dylan. After its 1997 release on CD by Smithsonian Folkways it came to be closely associated with the so-called Americana and Alt-Country movements of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Following its sixtieth birthday and now available as a digital download and rereleased on vinyl it is once again a prominent icon in numerous musical currents and popular culture more generally. This is the first book devoted to such a vital piece of the large and complex story of American music and its enduring value in American life. Reflecting the intrinsic interdisciplinarity of Smith’s original project this collection contains a variety of new perspectives on all aspects of the Anthology. | Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music America Changed Through Music
