Seinfeld Seasons 1 -5 An Episode Guide【電子書籍】[ Stephen Lambe ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When the final episode of <em>Seinfeld</em> aired on 14 May 1998, an amazing 76.3 million Americans tuned in, making it the most popular situation comedy is US television history. Co-created by Larry David, this 'comedy about nothing' made celebrities of its four stars: stand up comedian Jerry Seinfeld; comedian and actor Michael Richards who played eccentric neighbour Kramer; Julia Louis-Dreyfus who played Jerry’s former girlfriend, Elaine and Jason Alexander as his volatile, insecure best friend George. Unique in its outlook and execution, the success of the series lay in its early years, able to develop its own style below the radar as a minor network hit, before reaching a mass public with its fourth season in 1992. Classic episodes discussed here include: ‘The Junior Mint’, ‘The Chinese Restaurant’, ‘The Puffy Shirt’ and the ground-breaking ‘The Contest’.</p> <p>Much analyzed during its time on screen, the show has not been re-evaluated for many years. Now, over twenty years since the series finished, Stephen Lambe's timely and superbly-crafted new book examines Seinfeld's first five seasons episode by episode, tracing the development of every character, catchphrase and quirk, from the series' embryonic pilot episode in 1989, to its status as an Emmy award-winning show by the time that season five wrapped in 1994. While the series was a huge success in the USA, it was also a cult hit across the globe, and its legacy continues into the new millennium.</p> <p>Stephen Lambe is an author and publisher. He first became addicted to <em>Seinfeld</em> watching late-night re-runs on British television in the 1990s. An American Studies graduate, he has since seen every episode many times. His books include an analysis of the British 'Carry On' series published by Sonicbond in 2019. He lives in Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, UK.</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。 1,000円

What We Lost In The Fire, The Untold Story of the Ndebele Nation【電子書籍】[ Bhuti Mopai ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>What We Lost In The Fire,</strong></p> <p><strong>The Untold Story of the Ndebele Nation</strong><br /> <em>By Bhuti Mopai</em></p> <p><strong>Before Shaka. Before colonisers carved borders. There stood a kingdom older than history dared to remember.</strong></p> <p><em>What We Lost In The Fire</em> is a sweeping and deeply personal retelling of the amaNdebele nation, one of Africa's oldest and most resilient kingdoms, with royal bloodlines tracing back to the 1300s. From <strong>King Ndebele I</strong> to the lineage of <strong>Musi</strong>, <strong>Mabhoko</strong>, and <strong>Magodongo</strong>, this book brings to light the often-overlooked history of a people who fought and survived displacement, Voortrekker invasion, British colonialism, apartheid oppression, and marginalisation under a democratic South Africa.</p> <p>But this is not just a history book. It is a homecoming.</p> <p>Told by <strong>Bhuti Mopai</strong>, a son of the soil, this story is drawn from the living memory of his ancestors, passed down in whispers, rituals, and quiet resistance. It is shaped by the voices of his own bloodline, especially his first love, his grandmother <strong>uNaSkhosana</strong>, and the stories of <strong>Zwelabo noMngenelwa Mgidi</strong>, who kept the fire of identity burning when the world tried to blow it out.</p> <p>Through these intimate family narratives, combined with powerful historical research, Mopai paints a vivid portrait of a nation whose culture was never broken, only hidden in plain sight. A nation whose sacred colours, symbols, and stories still speak.</p> <p><strong>The Fire That Made Us</strong> is not just a reclaiming of history, it's a love letter to the Ndebele people, and a blazing testament to how identity endures.</p> <p><strong>"History wrote thus out. With this book I am writing us back in, with heart, honour, and the story of the fire that couldn't turn us into ashes" Bhuti Mopai</strong></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。 1,450円

Design After Decline How America Rebuilds Shrinking Cities【電子書籍】[ Brent D. Ryan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Almost fifty years ago, America's industrial citiesーDetroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Baltimore, and othersーbegan shedding people and jobs. Today they are littered with tens of thousands of abandoned houses, shuttered factories, and vacant lots. With population and housing losses continuing in the wake of the 2007 financial crisis, the future of neighborhoods in these places is precarious. How we will rebuild shrinking cities and what urban design vision will guide their future remain contentious and unknown.</p> <p>In <em>Design After Decline</em>, Brent D. Ryan reveals the fraught and intermittently successful efforts of architects, planners, and city officials to rebuild shrinking cities following mid-century urban renewal. With modern architecture in disrepute, federal funds scarce, and architects and planners disengaged, politicians and developers were left to pick up the pieces. In twin narratives, Ryan describes how America's two largest shrinking cities, Detroit and Philadelphia, faced the challenge of design after decline in dramatically different ways. While Detroit allowed developers to carve up the cityscape into suburban enclaves, Philadelphia brought back 1960s-style land condemnation for benevolent social purposes. Both Detroit and Philadelphia "succeeded" in rebuilding but at the cost of innovative urban design and planning.</p> <p>Ryan proposes that the unprecedented crisis facing these cities today requires a revival of the visionary thinking found in the best modernist urban design, tempered with the lessons gained from post-1960s community planning. Depicting the ideal shrinking city as a shifting patchwork of open and settled areas, Ryan concludes that accepting the inevitable decline and abandonment of some neighborhoods, while rebuilding others as new neighborhoods with innovative design and planning, can reignite modernism's spirit of optimism and shape a brighter future for shrinking cities and their residents.</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。 3,340円

Old Style Unoriginality and Its Uses in Nineteenth-Century U.S. Literature【電子書籍】[ Claudia Stokes ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>An aesthetic of unoriginality shaped literary style and reader taste for decades of the nineteenth century. While critics in the twentieth century and beyond have upheld originality and innovation as essential characteristics of literary achievement, they were not features particularly prized by earlier American audiences, Claudia Stokes contends. On the contrary, readers were taught to value familiarity, traditionalism, and regularity. Literary originality was often seen as a mark of vulgar sensationalism and poor quality.</p> <p>In <em>Old Style</em> Stokes offers the first dedicated study of a forgotten nineteenth-century aesthetic, explicating the forms, practices, conventions, and uses of unoriginality. She focuses in particular on the second quarter of the century, when improvements in printing and distribution caused literary markets to become flooded with new material, and longstanding reading practices came under threat. As readers began to prefer novelty to traditional forms, advocates openly extolled unoriginality in an effort to preserve the old literary ways. Old Style examines this era of significant literary change, during which a once-dominant aesthetic started to give way to modern preferences.</p> <p>If writing in the old style came to be associated with elite conservatismーa linkage that contributed to its decline in the twentieth centuryーit also, paradoxically provided marginalized writersーpeople of color, white women, and members of the working classーthe literary credentials they needed to enter print. Writing in the old style could affirm an aspiring author's training, command of convention, and respectability. In dismissing unoriginality as the literary purview of the untalented or unambitious, Stokes cautions, we risk overlooking something of vital importance to generations of American writers and readers.</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。 7,638円

Deborah and Her Sisters How One Nineteenth-Century Melodrama and a Host of Celebrated Actresses Put Judaism on the World Stage【電子書籍】[ Jonathan M. Hess ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Before <em>Fiddler on the Roof</em>, before <em>The Jazz Singer</em>, there was <em>Deborah</em>, a tear-jerking melodrama about a Jewish woman forsaken by her non-Jewish lover. Within a few years of its 1849 debut in Hamburg, the play was seen on stages across Germany and Austria, as well as throughout Europe, the British Empire, and North America. The German-Jewish elite complained that the playwright, Jewish writer S. H. Mosenthal, had written a drama bearing little authentic Jewish content, while literary critics protested that the play lacked the formal coherence of great tragedy. Yet despite its lackluster critical reception, <em>Deborah</em> became a blockbuster, giving millions of theatergoers the pleasures of sympathizing with an exotic Jewish woman. It spawned adaptations with titles from <em>Leah, the Forsaken</em> to <em>Naomi, the Deserted</em>, burlesques, poems, operas in Italian and Czech, musical selections for voice and piano, a British novel fraudulently marketed in the United States as the original basis for the play, three American silent films, and thousands of souvenir photographs of leading actresses from Adelaide Ristori to Sarah Bernhardt in character as Mosenthal's forsaken Jewess.</p> <p>For a sixty-year period, <em>Deborah</em> and its many offshoots provided audiences with the ultimate feel-good experience of tearful sympathy and liberal universalism. With <em>Deborah and Her Sisters</em>, Jonathan M. Hess offers the first comprehensive history of this transnational phenomenon, focusing on its unique ability to bring Jews and non-Jews together during a period of increasing antisemitism. Paying careful attention to local performances and the dynamics of transnational exchange, Hess asks that we take seriously the feelings this commercially successful drama provoked as it drove its diverse audiences to tears. Following a vast paper trail in theater archives and in the press, <em>Deborah and Her Sisters</em> reconstructs the allure that Jewishness held in nineteenth-century popular culture and explores how the <em>Deborah</em> sensation generated a liberal culture of compassion with Jewish suffering that extended beyond the theater walls.</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。 5,727円

Music and the sociological gaze Art worlds and cultural production【電子書籍】[ Peter J. Martin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this important new book, Peter J. Martin explores the interface between musicological and sociological approaches to the analysis of music, and in doing so reveals the differing foundations of cultural studies and sociological perspectives more generally. Building on the arguments of his earlier book Sounds and society, Dr Martin initially contrasts text-based attempts to develop a ‘social’ analysis of music with sociological studies of musical activities in real cultural and institutional contexts. It is argued that the difficulties encountered by some of the ‘new’ musicologists in their efforts to introduce a social dimension to their work are often a result of their unfamiliarity with contemporary sociological discourse. Just as linguistic studies have moved from a concern with the meaning of words to a focus on how they are used, a sociological perspective directs our attention towards the ways in which the production and reception of music inevitably involve the collaborative activities of real people in particular times and places.</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。 3,089円

Networks of sound, style and subversion The punk and post?punk worlds of Manchester, London, Liverpool and Sheffield, 1975?80【電子書籍】[ Nick Crossley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines the birth of punk in the UK and its transformation, within a short period of time, into post-punk. Deploying innovative concepts of ‘critical mass’, ‘social networks’ and ‘music worlds’, and using sophisticated techniques of ‘social network analysis’, it teases out the events and mechanisms involved in punk’s ‘micro-mobilisation’, its diffusion across the UK and its transformation in certain city-based strongholds into a variety of interlocking post-punk forms. Nick Crossley offers a detailed review of prior work in this area, a rich exploration of new empirical data and a highly innovative and robust approach to the study of ‘music worlds’. Written in an accessible style, this book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in either UK punk and post-punk or the impact of social networks on cultural life and the potential of social network analysis to explore this impact.</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。 3,476円

The Fellowship The Untold Story of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship【電子書籍】[ Roger Friedland ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Frank Lloyd Wright was renowned during his life not only as an architectural genius but also as a subject of controversyーfrom his radical design innovations to his turbulent private life, including a notorious mass murder that occurred at his Wisconsin estate, Taliesin, in 1914. But the estate also gave rise to one of the most fascinating and provocative experiments in American cultural history: the Taliesin Fellowship, an extraordinary architectural colony where Wright trained hundreds of devoted apprentices and where all of his late masterpiecesーFallingwater, Johnson Wax, the Guggenheim Museumーwere born.</p> <p>Drawing on hundreds of new and unpublished interviews and countless unseen documents from the Wright archives, <em>The Fellowship</em> is an unforgettable story of genius and ego, sex and violence, mysticism and utopianism. Epic in scope yet intimate in its detail, it is a stunning true account of how an idealistic community devolved into a kind of fiefdom where young apprentices were both inspired and manipulated, often at a staggering personal cost, by the architect and his imperious wife, Olgivanna Hinzenberg, along with her spiritual master, the legendary Greek-Armenian mystic Georgi Gurdjieff. A magisterial work of biography, it will forever change how we think about Frank Lloyd Wright and his world.</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。 2,228円

Zur Rezeption der Philosophie Ludwig Wittgensteins im literarischen Werk W. G. Sebalds【電子書籍】[ Martin H?ckel ]

<p>Ludwig Wittgenstein erscheint im Werk W. G. Sebalds h?ufig. Dieses Buch stellt ihn als zentrale Figur in zweien seiner Werke dar. Es stellt eine Analogie zwischen dem literarischen Konzept des <em>Synoptischen Blicks</em> und dem sprachkritischen Werkzeug der <em>?bersichtlichen Darstellung</em> her, und es nimmt eine Verortung in der Nachkriegsliteratur sowie eine Nutzbarmachung Wittgensteinscher Begriffe f?r die Literaturwissenschaft vor. Sebalds Gesamtwerk wird als Versuch begriffen, das philosophische Konzept des <em>Zeigens</em> auf literarischer Ebene umzusetzen. Es werden Gemeinsamkeiten auf den Ebenen von Stil, Bildverst?ndnis und Erkenntnisinteresse herausgearbeitet, und es wird er?rtert, inwieweit der <em>Synoptische Blick</em> tats?chlich mit der <em>?bersichtlichen Darstellung</em> vergleichbar ist und wie dieses Konzept als Gegenentwurf zu Schreibweisen anderer Autoren innerhalb der sog. Holocaustliteratur zu verorten ist. Eignet es sich zum Schreiben ?ber die Shoah in besonderem Ma?e?

The Musical Matrix Reloaded Contemporary Perspectives and Alternative Worlds in the Music of Beethoven and Schubert【電子書籍】[ Barbara Barry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Musical Matrix Reloaded proposes a striking new scenario for the music of Beethoven and Schubert in the contemporary world. It draws on the theory of Multiple Worlds in physics, and on sci-fi and movies, as powerful contemporary models of alternative realities to explain radical features of interpolation, dislocation, and ultimately of return.</p> <p>Confronting familiar assumptions about Beethoven’s and Schubert’s music as long-range consonance, the book proposes instead that musical action is predicated on an underlying disruptive energy, Nietzsche’s Dionysian disruptive background re-interpreted in the contemporary world. When it breaks through the musical surface, it dislocates continuity and re-routes tonal narrative into new, unforeseen directions. These unforeseen paths enable us to glimpse in Beethoven’s and Schubert’s music the beautiful, and often haunting, reality of another world.</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。 12,156円

War and Peace in the Worlds of Rudolf H. Sauter A Cultural History of a Creative Life【電子書籍】[ Jeffrey S. Reznick ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>War and Peace in the Worlds of Rudolf H. Sauter</em> is the first book to examine the creative life and worlds of Rudolf H. Sauter (1895?1977), the German-born artist, poet, cultural observer and nephew of the famed novelist John Galsworthy. Revealing him to be a creative figure in his own right, it examines his early life as a German immigrant in Britain, his formative years during the run-up to the Great War, his wartime internment as an “enemy alien,” and the postwar development of his intriguing body of artistic and literary work. Placing Sauter and his creative life in the historical contexts they have long deserved, this life story opens a window onto subjects of war, love, memory, travel and existential concerns of modern times.</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。 5,482円

Groups, Coteries, Circles and Guilds Modernist Aesthetics and the Utopian Lure of Community【電子書籍】[ Laura Scuriatti ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the first half of the twentieth century, artists, intellectuals, writers, thinkers and patrons in Europe and the United States created a large number of artistic communities, circles, groups and movements with the aim of providing alternatives to the increasingly conflictual political and intellectual climate; the works and artistic practices of many of these groups were marked by an ethos of collaboration, based on a collective understanding of artistic production, and on the nurturing and exercise of sociability and conviviality. Collaboration, sociability, friendship and collective artistic efforts represented the utopian aspects of the radical experiments carried out by avant-garde and modernist artists; they were also the counterparts of the period’s obsession with the notion of genius and the cult of the artist. This book offers studies of under-researched (and often consciously provincial) avant-garde and modernist groups and authors. Their progressive aims are here read as particular forms of utopia based on the ethics and aesthetics of community.</p> <p>The essays in this volume analyse the significance (and failures) of literary coteries as spaces of aesthetic and political freedom. They explore the internationalist and interdisciplinary practices of the Porza Group, the abstrakten hannover and the anthroposophical group Aenigma; the utopian efforts of the artists’ communities at Dornach (Switzerland) and Farley Farm, in England; the political and aesthetic implications of collaborative practices of cultural mediation, criticism and translation within the Bloomsbury group, the ≪Young American Critics≫, and of single individuals in relation to networks and avant-garde coteries, such as Mina Loy, the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and Djuna Barnes. The volume offers an evaluation of the roots and ethos of sociability in the Enlightenment, as the basis of modernist utopias of community; it also reflects on the problematic notion of individual authorship within artistic groups, as in the case of the early-modernist Finnish author Algot Untola, who created around forty fictitious author-names.</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。 13,019円

New Crops, Old Fields Reimagining Irish Folklore【電子書籍】[ Eamon Maher ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>From our homes to our houses of government, from our schoolyards to our stadia, from our galleries to our gable walls, folklore is not only preserved but continues to be reimagined in all aspects of everyday life in Ireland. In the twenty-first century, the traditions of Irish folklore are engaged in a constant process of regeneration, where the old and the new, the oral, the textual and the visual intermingle. However, while the ≪first life≫ of Irish folklore has amassed a vast literature, what has attracted less attention is its ≪second life≫: the variety of ways in which traditions have been reused and recycled in other contexts by politicians, poets, visual artists, sportsmen, tourism officers, museum curators, writers and musicians.</p> <p>This volume is concerned with those moments of cultural creation that occupy the space between the ≪first life≫ and ≪second life≫ of folklore and, in particular, the ways in which folk traditions are reinvented. Featuring essays from both authorities in the field and emerging voices, this interdisciplinary collection demonstrates the rich diversity of folk culture, as a practice and as an area of study, in contemporary Ireland.</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。 9,600円

Utopia and Reality Documentary, Activism and Imagined Worlds【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Since publication of Thomas More‘s <em>Utopia</em> more than five hundred years ago, there has been a steady stream of literary works that depict a better world; positive utopias in film, however, have been scarce. There is a consensus that utopias in the Morean tradition are not suited to fiction film, and research has accordingly focused on dystopias. Starting from the insight that utopias are always a critical reaction to the deficits of the present, <em>Utopia and Reality</em> takes a different approach by looking into the under-researched area of propaganda and documentary films for depictions of better worlds. This volume brings together researchers from two fields that have so far seen little exchange ? documentary studies and utopian scholarship ? and covers a wide range of films from Soviet avant-garde to propaganda videos for the terror organisation ISIS, from political-activist to ecofeminist and interactive documentaries.</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。 12,333円

Saving Our Cities A Progressive Plan to Transform Urban America【電子書籍】[ William W. Goldsmith ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In</strong> <em><strong>Saving Our Cities</strong></em>**, William W. Goldsmith shows how cities can be places of opportunity rather than places with problems.** With strongly revived cities and suburbs, working as places that serve all their residents, metropolitan areas will thrive, thus making the national economy more productive, the environment better protected, the citizenry better educated, and the society more reflective, sensitive, and humane.<br /> Goldsmith argues that America has been in the habit of abusing its cities and their poorest suburbs, which are always the first to be blamed for society's ills and the last to be helped. As federal and state budgets, regulations, and programs line up with the interests of giant corporations and privileged citizens, they impose austerity on cities, shortchange public schools, make it hard to get nutritious food, and inflict the drug war on unlucky neighborhoods.</p> <p>Frustration with inequality is spreading. Parents and teachers call persistently for improvements in public schooling, and education experiments abound. Nutrition indicators have begun to improve, as rising health costs and epidemic obesity have led to widespread attention to food. The futility of the drug war and the high costs of unwarranted, unprecedented prison growth have become clear. Goldsmith documents a positive development: progressive politicians in many cities and some states are proposing far-reaching improvements, supported by advocacy groups that form powerful voting blocs, ensuring that Congress takes notice. When more cities forcefully demand enlightened federal and state action on these four interrelated problemsーinequality, schools, food, and the drug warーpositive movement will occur in traditional urban planning as well, so as to meet the needs of most residents for improved housing, better transportation, and enhanced public spaces.</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。 2,739円
