 Barrio Rising Urban Popular Politics and the Making of Modern Venezuela【電子書籍】[ Prof. Alejandro Velasco ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Beginning in the late 1950s political leaders in Venezuela built what they celebrated as Latin America’s most stable democracy. But outside the staid halls of power, in the gritty barrios of a rapidly urbanizing country, another politics was risingーunruly, contentious, and clamoring for inclusion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Based on years of archival and ethnographic research in Venezuela’s largest public housing community, ＜em＞Barrio Rising＜/em＞ delivers the first in-depth history of urban popular politics before the Bolivarian Revolution, providing crucial context for understanding the democracy that emerged during the presidency of Hugo Ch?vez.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the mid-1950s, a military government bent on modernizing Venezuela razed dozens of slums in the heart of the capital Caracas, replacing them with massive buildings to house the city’s working poor. The project remained unfinished when the dictatorship fell on January 23, 1958, and in a matter of days city residents illegally occupied thousands of apartments, squatted on green spaces, and renamed the neighborhood to honor the emerging democracy: the 23 de Enero (January 23).＜/p＞ ＜p＞During the next thirty years, through eviction efforts, guerrilla conflict, state violence, internal strife, and official neglect, inhabitants of ＜em＞el veintitr?s＜/em＞ learned to use their strategic location and symbolic tie to the promise of democracy in order to demand a better life. Granting legitimacy to the state through the vote but protesting its failings with violent street actions when necessary, they laid the foundation for an expansive understanding of democracyーboth radical and electoralーwhose features still resonate today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Blending rich narrative accounts with incisive analyses of urban space, politics, and everyday life, ＜em＞Barrio Rising＜/em＞ offers a sweeping reinterpretation of modern Venezuelan history as seen not by its leaders but by residents of one of the country’s most distinctive popular neighborhoods.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,901円 |

 A Treatise on Tobacco, Tea, Coffee, and Chocolate Exploring the Cultural Significance of Popular Commodities in 17th-Century Europe【電子書籍】[ Simon Paulli ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "A Treatise on Tobacco, Tea, Coffee, and Chocolate," Simon Paulli delves into the cultural and medicinal significance of these four substances that captivated the early modern world. Written during the 17th century, the treatise combines empirical observation with Renaissance humanism, characterized by a blend of scientific inquiry and rich descriptive language. Paulli'??s work not only categorizes the physiological effects of these commodities but also situates them within the broader context of social customs and prevailing medical theories of the time, presenting a multifaceted examination that reflects a period of burgeoning interest in both trade and health practices. Simon Paulli, a Danish physician and botanist, was profoundly influenced by the scientific revolution and the growing interest in botany and phar-macology of his era. His interaction with diverse cultures, stemming from his extensive travels, further inspired his appreciation for natural history and its benefits. His scholarly pursuits led him to explore the effects of tobacco, tea, coffee, and chocolate, not merely as consumer goods but as agents capable of influencing health and society. This treatise is a vital read for scholars of early modern history, cultural studies, and the history of medicine. Paulli'??s insightful analysis and articulate prose make this work an essential contribution to our understanding of how these popular commodities shaped human experience and medical thought, providing readers with a historically rich perspective on consumption and health.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 150円 |
 Subversive Spirits The Female Ghost in British and American Popular Culture【電子書籍】[ Robin Roberts ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The supernatural has become extraordinarily popular in literature, television, and film. Vampires, zombies, werewolves, witches, and wizard have become staples of entertainment industries, and many of these figures have received extensive critical attention. But one figure has remained in the shadows--the female ghost. Inherently liminal, often literally invisible, the female ghost has nevertheless appeared in all genres. ＜em＞Subversive Spirits: The Female Ghost in British and American Popular Culture＜/em＞ brings this figure into the light, exploring her cultural significance in a variety of media from 1926 to 2014. Robin Roberts argues that the female ghost is well worth studying for what she can tell us about feminine subjectivity in cultural contexts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Subversive Spirits＜/em＞ examines appearances of the female ghost in heritage sites, theater, Hollywood film, literature, and television in the United States and the United Kingdom. What holds these disparate female ghosts together is their uncanny ability to disrupt, illuminate, and challenge gendered assumptions. As with other supernatural figures, the female ghost changes over time, especially responding to changes in gender roles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Roberts's analysis begins with comedic female ghosts in literature and film and moves into horror by examining the successful play ＜em＞The Woman in Black＜/em＞ and the legend of the weeping woman, La Llorona. Roberts then situates the canonical works of Maxine Hong Kingston and Toni Morrison in the tradition of the female ghost to explore how the ghost is used to portray the struggle and pain of women of color. Roberts further analyzes heritage sites that use the female ghost as the friendly and inviting narrator for tourists. The book concludes with a comparison of the British and American versions of the television hit ＜em＞Being Human＜/em＞, where the female ghost expands her influence to become a mother and savior to all humanity.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,907円 |
 American Zombie Gothic The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of the Walking Dead in Popular Culture【電子書籍】[ Kyle William Bishop ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Zombie stories are peculiarly American, as the creature was born in the New World and functions as a reminder of the atrocities of colonialism and slavery. The voodoo-based zombie films of the 1930s and '40s reveal deep-seated racist attitudes and imperialist paranoia, but the contagious, cannibalistic zombie horde invasion narrative established by George A. Romero has even greater singularity. This book provides a cultural and critical analysis of the cinematic zombie tradition, starting with its origins in Haitian folklore and tracking the development of the subgenre into the twenty-first century. Closely examining such influential works as Victor Halperin's White Zombie, Jacques Tourneur's I Walked with a Zombie, Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2, Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead, Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, and, of course, Romero's entire "Dead" series, it establishes the place of zombies in the Gothic tradition.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,823円 |

 Open Democracy Reinventing Popular Rule for the Twenty-First Century【電子書籍】[ H?l?ne Landemore ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞"＜em＞Open Democracy＜/em＞ envisions what true government by mass leadership could look like."ーNathan Heller, ＜em＞New Yorker＜/em＞＜br /＞ How a new model of democracy that opens up power to ordinary citizens could strengthen inclusiveness, responsiveness, and accountability in modern societies＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞To the ancient Greeks, democracy meant gathering in public and debating laws set by a randomly selected assembly of several hundred citizens. To the Icelandic Vikings, democracy meant meeting every summer in a field to discuss issues until consensus was reached. Our contemporary representative democracies are very different. Modern parliaments are gated and guarded, and it seems as if only certain peopleーwith the right suit, accent, wealth, and connectionsーare welcome. Diagnosing what is wrong with representative government and aiming to recover some of the lost openness of ancient democracies, ＜em＞Open Democracy＜/em＞ presents a new paradigm of democracy in which power is genuinely accessible to ordinary citizens.＜/p＞ ＜p＞H?l?ne Landemore favors the ideal of “representing and being represented in turn” over direct-democracy approaches. Supporting a fresh nonelectoral understanding of democratic representation, Landemore recommends centering political institutions around the “open mini-public”ーa large, jury-like body of randomly selected citizens gathered to define laws and policies for the polity, in connection with the larger public. She also defends five institutional principles as the foundations of an open democracy: participatory rights, deliberation, the majoritarian principle, democratic representation, and transparency.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Open Democracy＜/em＞ demonstrates that placing ordinary citizens, rather than elites, at the heart of democratic power is not only the true meaning of a government of, by, and for the people, but also feasible and, today more than ever, urgently needed.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,249円 |
 A History of Popular Culture in Japan From the Seventeenth Century to the Present【電子書籍】[ Dr. E. Taylor Atkins ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A 2018 Choice Outstanding Academic Title＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The phenomenon of 'Cool Japan' is one of the distinctive features of global popular culture of the millennial age. ＜em＞A History of Popular Culture in Japan＜/em＞ provides the first historical and analytical overview of popular culture in Japan from its origins in the 17th century to the present day, using it to explore broader themes of conflict, power, identity and meaning in Japanese history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞E. Taylor Atkins shows how Japan is one of the earliest sites for the development of mass-produced, market-oriented cultural products consumed by urban middle and working classes. The best-known traditional arts and culture of Japan- no theater, monochrome ink painting, court literature, poetry and indigenous music-inhabited a world distinct from that of urban commoners, who fashioned their own expressive forms and laid the groundwork for today's 'gross national cool.' Popular culture was pivotal in the rise of Japanese nationalism, imperialism, militarism, postwar democracy and economic development.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Offering historiographical and analytical frameworks for understanding its subject, ＜em＞A History of Popular Culture in Japan＜/em＞ synthesizes the latest scholarship from a variety of disciplines. It is a vital resource for students of Japanese cultural history wishing to gain a deeper understanding of Japan's contributions to global cultural heritage.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,353円 |
 An Essay on Demonology, Ghosts and Apparitions, and Popular Superstitions Also, an Account of the Witchcraft Delusion at Salem, in 1692【電子書籍】[ James Thacher ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "An Essay on Demonology, Ghosts and Apparitions, and Popular Superstitions," James Thacher embarks on an intellectual exploration of the supernatural, analyzing the cultural perceptions and historical contexts surrounding demons and apparitions. Through a critical lens, Thacher combines empirical observation with a richly narrative style, drawing from folklore, biblical scripture, and contemporary anecdotes to illuminate how societal fears and beliefs manifest in the realm of the supernatural. His text reflects the late 18th-century Enlightenment thought, grappling with the tension between reason and superstition, making it a vital contribution to the discourse on human belief systems. James Thacher, an esteemed physician and writer in early America, directed his keen intellect toward understanding phenomena that baffled both the scientific and lay communities of his time. Born in a period fraught with superstition, Thacher's medical practice exposed him to diverse belief systems while simultaneously providing a grounding in rational inquiry. His background likely influenced his desire to demystify ghostly occurrences and popular superstitions through a rational examination, rendering them accessible to an audience steeped in both fear and fascination. This thought-provoking essay is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the intersection of science, belief, and the uncanny. Thacher'??s articulate prose and rigorous analysis invite readers to reflect on the nature of fear and belief and challenge them to reassess what lies beyond the empirical realm. Whether you are a scholar of literary history or simply a curious enthusiast of the supernatural, this book will enrich your understanding of the human condition.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 150円 |

 Radical Frontiers in the Spaghetti Western Politics, Violence and Popular Italian Cinema【電子書籍】[ Prof Austin Fisher ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Ever more popular in the age of DVDs, eBay and online fandom, the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s have undergone a mainstream renaissance which has nevertheless left their intimate relationship to the troubled politics of 1960s Italy unexamined. Radical Frontiers reappraises the genre in relation to the revolutionary New Left and the events of 1968 to uncover the complexities of a cinematic milieu too often dismissed as formulaic and homogeneous. Establishing the backdrop of post-war Italy in which the Roman studio system actively blended Italian and American culture, Austin Fisher looks in detail at the works of Damiano Damiani, Sergio Sollima, Sergio Corbucci, Giulio Questi and Giulio Petroni and how these directors reformatted the Hollywood Western to yield new resonance for militant constituencies and radical groups. Radical Frontiers identifies the main variants of these militant Westerns, which brazenly endorsed violent peasant insurrection in the 'Mexico' of the popular imagination, turning the camera on the hitherto heroic colonialists of the West and exposing the brutal mechanisms of a society infested with latent fascism.＜br /＞ The ways in which the films' artistic failures reflect the ideological confusions of the radical groups is examined and the genre's legacy is reappraised, as the revolutionary energy of Italy's New Left becomes subsumed amidst the conflicting agendas of New Hollywood, blaxploitation and the 'grindhouse' revival of Tarantino, Rodriguez and Raimi. Reclaiming the Spaghetti Western from the domain of the merely cool and repositioning it within the spectrum of late-1960s radical cinema, Radical Frontiers analyses the genre's narrative and cinematographic inscriptions in their political context to uncover Far Left doctrines in these tales of outlaws and sheriffs, banditry and redemptive violence.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,353円 |

The idea of the forest as deep, dark, and dangerous has an extensive history and continues to resonate throughout contemporary popular culture. ＜em＞The Forest and the EcoGothic＜/em＞ examines both why we fear the forest and how exactly these fears manifest in our stories. It draws on and furthers the nascent field of the ecoGothic, which seeks to explore the intersections between ecocriticism and Gothic studies. In the age of the Anthropocene, this work importantly interrogates our relationship to and understandings of the more-than-human world. This work introduces the trope of the Gothic forest, as well as important critical contexts for its discussion, and examines the three main ways in which this trope manifests: as a living, animated threat; as a traditional habitat for monsters; and as a dangerous site for human settlement. This book will appeal to students and scholars with interests in horror and the Gothic, ecohorror and the ecoGothic, environmentalism, ecocriticism, and popular culture more broadly. The accessibility of the subject of ‘The Deep Dark Woods’, coupled with increasingly mainstream interests in interactions between humanity and nature, means this work will also be of keen interest to the general public.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 10,938円 |
 Women of Blaxploitation How the Black Action Film Heroine Changed American Popular Culture【電子書籍】[ Yvonne D. Sims ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞With the Civil Rights movement of the sixties fresh in their perspective, movie producers of the early 1970s began to make films aimed toward the underserved African American audience. Over the next five years or so, a number of cheaply made, so-called blaxploitation movies featured African American actresses in roles which broke traditional molds. Typically long on flash and violence but lacking in character depth and development, this genre nonetheless did a great deal toward redefining the perception of African American actresses, breaking traditional African American female stereotypes and laying the groundwork for later feminine action heroines.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This critical study examines the ways in which the blaxploitation heroines of the early 1970s reshaped the presentation of African American actresses on screen and, to a certain degree, the perception of African American females in general. It discusses the social, political and cultural context in which blaxploitation films emerged. The work focuses on four African American actresses--Pam Grier, Tamara Dobson, Teresa Graves and Jeanne Belle--providing critical and audience response to their films as well as insight into the perspectives of the actresses themselves. The eventual demise of the blaxploitation genre due to formulaic plots and lack of character development is also discussed. Finally, the work addresses the mainstreaming of the action heroine in general and a recent resurgence of interest in black action movies. Relevant film stills and a selected filmography including cast list and plot synopsis are also included.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Instructors considering this book for use in a course may ＜a href="mcfarlandbooks.com/customers/students-instructors/#exam-copy-form"＞ request an examination copy here＜/a＞.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,604円 |

 The Decameron: The Popular Translation of J.M. Rigg【電子書籍】[ Giovanni Boccaccio ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This carefully crafted ebook: "The Decameron: The Classic Translation of John Payne" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. John Payne's translation of The Decameron was originally published in a private printing for The Villon Society, London in 1886. Comprised of 100 novellas told by ten men and women over a ten day journey fleeing plague-infested Florence, the Decameron is an allegorical work famous for its bawdy portrayals of everyday life, its searing wit and mockery, and its careful adherence to a framed structure. The word "decameron" is derived from the Greek and means "ten days". Boccaccio drew on many influences in writing the Decameron, and many writers, including Martin Luther, Chaucer, and Keats, later drew inspiration from the book. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) was an Italian writer and humanist, one of the founders of the Renaissance. He studied business but abandoned it eventually to pursue his literary interests. In 1350 Boccaccio met Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) (1304-1374), one the most important figures in the beginnings of the Renaissance and Humanism.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |
