Afrofuturism in Black Panther Gender, Identity, and the Re-Making of Blackness【電子書籍】[ Cynthia Baron ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>Afrofuturism in Black Panther: Gender, Identity, and the Re-making of Blackness</em>, through an interdisciplinary and intersectional analysis of <em>Black Panther</em>, discusses the importance of superheroes and the ways in which they are especially important to Black fans. Aside from its global box office success, <em>Black Panther</em> paves the way for future superhero narratives due to its underlying philosophy to base the story on a narrative that is reliant on Afro-futurism. The film’s storyline, the book posits, leads viewers to think about relevant real-world social questions as it taps into the cultural zeitgeist in an indelible way. Contributors to this collection approach <em>Black Panther</em> not only as a film, but also as Afrofuturist imaginings of an African nation untouched by colonialism and antiblack racism: the film is a map to alternate states of being, an introduction to the African Diaspora, a treatise on liberation and racial justice, and an examination of identity. As they analyze each of these components, contributors pose the question: how can a film invite a reimagining of Blackness?</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。

Keeping It Unreal Black Queer Fantasy and Superhero Comics【電子書籍】[ Darieck Scott ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Winner of the 2023 Lambda Literary Award in LGBTQ+ Studies!</strong></p> <p><strong>Explores Black representation in fantasy genres and comic books</strong></p> <p>Characters like Black Panther, Storm, Luke Cage, Miles Morales, and Black Lightning are part of a growing cohort of black superheroes on TV and in film. Though comic books are often derided as na?ve and childish, these larger-than-life superheroes demonstrate how this genre can serve as the catalyst for engaging the Black radical imagination.</p> <p><em>Keeping It Unreal: Comics and Black Queer Fantasy</em> is an exploration of how fantasies of Black power and triumph fashion theoretical, political, and aesthetic challenges toーand respite fromーwhite supremacy and anti-Blackness. It examines representations of Blackness in fantasy-infused genres: superhero comic books, erotic comics, fantasy and science-fiction genre literature, as well as contemporary literary “realist” fiction centering fantastic conceits.</p> <p>Darieck Scott offers a rich meditation on the relationship between fantasy and reality, and between the imagination and being, as he weaves his personal recollections of his encounters with superhero comics with interpretive readings of figures like the Black Panther and Blade, as well as theorists such as Frantz Fanon, Eve Sedgwick, Leo Bersani, Saidiya Hartman, and Gore Vidal. <em>Keeping It Unreal</em> represents an in-depth theoretical consideration of the intersections of superhero comics, Blackness, and queerness, and draws on a variety of fields of inquiry.</p> <p>Reading new life into Afrofuturist traditions and fantasy genres, Darieck Scott seeks to rescue the role of fantasy and the fantastic to challenge, revoke, and expand our assumptions about what is normal, real, and markedly human.</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。

Nell Gwyn and King Charles' Other Ladies【電子書籍】[ Derek Parker ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>When King Charles II was dying, the name of only one of his many mistresses was in his mind and on his lips: that of Nell Gwyn. Born in extreme poverty, forced to become a child prostitute, she went on the stage and became the most popular actress of the time until Charles took her into his bed, where her beauty, wit and liveliness made her in the end preferable to his other many mistresses, who were either common prostitutes found for him in the bawdy-houses or on the streets by the royal pimp, William Chiffinch, or were would-be grand ladies such as the English Barbara Villiers, the French Louise de K?ro?alle and the Italian beauty Hortense Mancini, eager to use their position to interfere in politics. Charles took all of them to bed with great enthusiasm, but it was Nelly who he loved as much as he was capable of love. Unlike the others, she knew her place ? when her coachman fought a fellow who called her a whore, she rebuked him: that, she said, was after all what she was. She flattered no-one ? even giving the King a piece of her mind when she pleased. When she died, some years after the King, she was given a grand funeral, the sermon preached by a future Archbishop of Canterbury. No court in modern history has been as scandalously dissolute as that of Charles II, and the story of the king and his mistresses is engrossingly outrageous. The heroine, however ? and who would deny her that title ? is pretty, witty Nell.</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。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Modern Fiction," Charles Dudley Warner critiques the prevailing literary conventions of his time, advocating for a realistic approach to storytelling that mirrors the complexities of contemporary life. Warner's prose is marked by its eloquent eloquence and insightful humor, effectively engaging readers while prompting them to reconsider the purpose and form of fiction. The book emerges during a pivotal moment in American literature, reflecting the tensions between romantic idealism and the emerging demands for authenticity and relatability in fiction, making it a significant commentary on the evolution of literary artistry during the late 19th century. Warner, an established writer and social commentator, was deeply influenced by the transformative societal changes of the Gilded Age, characterized by rapid industrialization and shifting cultural paradigms. His experiences as an editor and collaborator with notable literary figures allowed him to appreciate the nuances of narrative voice and audience expectation. Warner's commitment to realism can be traced back to his desire to provide readers with an honest portrayal of life, challenging the escapism often found in earlier works. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of modern literature and the shift toward authenticity in narrative. It not only enriches the understanding of Warner's contribution to literary criticism but also serves as an essential exploration of how fiction can reflect the intricacies of human experience.</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。

Babylon East Performing Dancehall, Roots Reggae, and Rastafari in Japan【電子書籍】[ Marvin Sterling ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>An important center of dancehall reggae performance, sound clashes are contests between rival sound systems: groups of emcees, tune selectors, and sound engineers. In World Clash 1999, held in Brooklyn, Mighty Crown, a Japanese sound system and the only non-Jamaican competitor, stunned the international dancehall community by winning the event. In 2002, the Japanese dancer Junko Kudo became the first non-Jamaican to win Jamaica’s National Dancehall Queen Contest. High-profile victories such as these affirmed and invigorated Japan’s enthusiasm for dancehall reggae. In <em>Babylon East</em>, the anthropologist Marvin D. Sterling traces the history of the Japanese embrace of dancehall reggae and other elements of Jamaican culture, including Rastafari, roots reggae, and dub music.</p> <p>Sterling provides a nuanced ethnographic analysis of the ways that many Japanese involved in reggae as musicians and dancers, and those deeply engaged with Rastafari as a spiritual practice, seek to reimagine their lives through Jamaican culture. He considers Japanese performances and representations of Jamaican culture in clubs, competitions, and festivals; on websites; and in song lyrics, music videos, reggae magazines, travel writing, and fiction. He illuminates issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class as he discusses topics ranging from the cultural capital that Japanese dancehall artists amass by immersing themselves in dancehall culture in Jamaica, New York, and England, to the use of Rastafari as a means of critiquing class difference, consumerism, and the colonial pasts of the West and Japan. Encompassing the reactions of Jamaica’s artists to Japanese appropriations of Jamaican culture, as well as the relative positions of Jamaica and Japan in the world economy, <em>Babylon East</em> is a rare ethnographic account of Afro-Asian cultural exchange and global discourses of blackness beyond the African diaspora.</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。

Sensory Experiments Psychophysics, Race, and the Aesthetics of Feeling【電子書籍】[ Erica Fretwell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In <em>Sensory Experiments</em>, Erica Fretwell excavates the nineteenth-century science of psychophysics and its theorizations of sensation to examine the cultural and aesthetic landscape of feeling in nineteenth-century America. Fretwell demonstrates how psychophysicsーa scientific movement originating in Germany and dedicated to the empirical study of sensory experienceーshifted the understandings of feeling from the epistemology of sentiment to the phenomenological terrain of lived experience. Through analyses of medical case studies, spirit photographs, perfumes, music theory, recipes, and the work of canonical figures ranging from Kate Chopin and Pauline Hopkins to James Weldon Johnson and Emily Dickinson, Fretwell outlines how the five senses became important elements in the biopolitical work of constructing human difference along the lines of race, gender, and ability. In its entanglement with social difference, psychophysics contributed to the racialization of aesthetics while sketching out possibilities for alternate modes of being over and against the figure of the bourgeois liberal individual. Although psychophysics has largely been forgotten, Fretwell demonstrates that its importance to shaping social order through scientific notions of sensation is central to contemporary theories of new materialism, posthumanism, aesthetics, and affect theory.</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。

The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock【電子書籍】[ David Weigel ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The wildly entertaining story of progressive rock, the music that ruled the 1970s chartsーand has divided listeners ever since.</strong></p> <p><em>The Show That Never Ends</em> is the definitive story of the extraordinary rise and fall of progressive (“prog”) rock. Epitomized by such classic, chart-topping bands as Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Emerson Lake & Palmer, along with such successors as Rush, Marillion, Asia, Styx, and Porcupine Tree, prog sold hundreds of millions of records. It brought into the mainstream concept albums, spaced-out cover art, crazy time signatures, multitrack recording, and stagecraft so bombastic it was spoofed in the classic movie <em>This Is Spinal Tap</em>.</p> <p>With a vast knowledge of what <em>Rolling Stone</em> has called “the deliciously decadent genre that the punks failed to kill,” access to key people who made the music, and the passion of a true enthusiast, Washington Post national reporter David Weigel tells the story of prog in all its pomp, creativity, and excess.</p> <p>Weigel explains exactly what was “progressive” about prog rock and how its complexity and experimentalism arose from such precursors as the Beach Boys’ <em>Pet Sounds</em> and the Beatles’ <em>Sgt. Pepper</em>. He traces prog’s popularity from the massive success of Procol Harum’s “Whiter Shade of Pale” and the Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satin” in 1967. He reveals how prog’s best-selling, epochal albums were made, including <em>The Dark Side of the Moon</em>, <em>Thick as a Brick</em>, and <em>Tubular Bells</em>. And he explores the rise of new instruments into the prog mix, such as the synthesizer, flute, mellotron, andーfamouslyーthe double-neck guitar.</p> <p><em>The Show That Never Ends</em> is filled with the candid reminiscences of prog’s celebrated musicians. It also features memorable portraits of the vital contributions of producers, empresarios, and technicians such as Richard Branson, Brian Eno, Ahmet Ertegun, and Bob Moog.</p> <p>Ultimately, Weigel defends prog from the enormous derision it has received for a generation, and he reveals the new critical respect and popularity it has achieved in its contemporary resurgence.</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。

Dada Presentism An Essay on Art and History【電子書籍】[ Maria Stavrinaki ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Dada is often celebrated for its strategies of shock and opposition, but in <em>Dada Presentism</em>, Maria Stavrinaki provides a new picture of Dada art and writings as a lucid reflection on history and the role of art within it. The original (Berlin-based) Dadaists' acute historical consciousness and their modern experience of time, she contends, anticipated the formulations of major historians such as Reinhart Koselleck and, more recently, Fran?ois Hartog. The book explores Dada temporalities and concepts of history in works of art, artistic discourse, and in the photographs of the Berlin Dada movement. These photographsーincluding the famous one of the First International Dada Fairーare presented not as simple, transparent documents, but as formal deployments conforming to a very concrete theory of history. This approach allows Stavrinaki to link Dada to more contemporary artistic movements and practices interested in history and the archive. At the same time, she investigates what seems to be a real oxymoron of the movement: its simultaneous claim to the ephemeral and its compulsive writing of its own history. In this way, <em>Dada Presentism</em> also interrogates the limits between history and fiction.</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。
