Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Internet activism is playing a crucial role in the democratic reform happening across many parts of Southeast Asia. Focusing on Subang Jaya, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, this study offers an in-depth examination of the workings of the Internet at the local level. In fact, Subang Jaya is regarded as Malaysias electronic governance laboratory. The author explores its field of residential affairs, a digitally mediated social field in which residents, civil servants, politicians, online journalists and other social agents struggle over how the locality is to be governed at the dawn of the Information Era. Drawing on the field theories of both Pierre Bourdieu and the Manchester School of political anthropology, this study challenges the unquestioned predominance of network and community as the two key sociation concepts in contemporary Internet studies. The analysis extends field theory in four new directions, namely the complex articulations between personal networking and social fields, the uneven diffusion and circulation of new field technologies and contents, intra- and inter-field political crises, and the emergence of new forms of residential sociality. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The repression of the rights of girls and women is continuously threatened in a wide range of global cultural contexts. From the rise in laws restricting reproductive freedom to the growth in essentialist ideas about gender and the backlash to the #MeToo movement, the challenges facing girls and young women are as diverse as the activism networks established to address them. Girls Take Action shines light on the myriad ways girls and young women are exercising agency in the face of injustice, considering especially the role of community and collaboration in fostering activism networks and ultimately a more transnational understanding of girlhood. An illuminating examination of activism networks run for, by, and with girls and young women globally, Girls Take Action highlights the myriad ways girls and young women are exercising their agency in the face of injustice, considering especially the role collaboration plays in creating a more transnational understanding of girlhood.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A feminist study of the mood, texture, tone, and multifaceted meaning of director Sofia Coppolas aesthetic through her most influential and well-known films.A Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2019With this book Rogers has produced a sophisticated and impassioned analysis of Coppolas work Rogerss main argument that Coppola manipulates pleasurable images to unsettle rather than mollify us is utterly convincing. If nothing else, this certainly hits home in relation to my own enchantment with Coppolas work.Bright Lights Film JournalAll too often, the movies of Sofia Coppola have been dismissed as all style, no substance. But such an easy caricature, as this engaging and accessible survey of Coppolas oeuvre demonstrates, fundamentally misconstrues what are rich, ambiguous, meaningful films.Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, the author here takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy in The Virgin Suicides to the female gothic in The Beguiled. As Rogers shows, far from endorsing a facile and depoliticized postfeminism, Coppolas films instead deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy.From the Introduction:Sofia Coppola possesses a highly sophisticated and intricate knowledge of how images come to work on us; that is, she understands precisely how to construct an image what to add in and what to remove in order to achieve specific moods, tones and cinematic affects. She knows that similar kinds of images can have vastly different effects on the viewer depending on their context. This monograph is an extended study of Coppolas outstanding ability to think through and in images. Using the work of a range of feminist theorists, Backman Rogers situates Coppola's work as a critique of postfeminist lifestyles that offer the viewer a feminist and feminine philosophy through beguilement, mood and surface.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Presenting the 1937 diaries of John F. Kennedys tour of Europe, this volume offers insights into his early experiences on a continent under the shadow of Nazism.In 1937, while still a student, John F. Kennedy undertook a grand tour of Europe with his close friend and traveling companion, Lem Billings. On this journey he began to keep a diary, which is reproduced here in full and provides an unadulterated account of his thoughts and feelings. Superficially, it presents a picture of two young men enjoying their summer, sightseeing, going to the movies, bars and night clubs; but behind this we find, in Kennedys political observations and encounters, the looming shadow of Nazism. In retrospect there are blind spots and misjudgments, but also insights of great topicality, for example on populism, and propaganda and its potent effects. On this trip and during his later travels in Germany, Kennedy engaged with the crucial questions of his later presidency: How does a dictatorship work? How is an alternative concept of society to be countered? And how can an impending war be averted? Kennedys European and Russian policies and also his famous Berlin speech of 1963 (Ich bin ein Berliner) are to be understood against this background.In addition to numerous archive photographs, this volume contains Kennedys complete diary of his 1937 trip to Europe and, as a counterpart, the Scrapbook of Lem Billings who documented it from his perspective. Presenting the 1937 diaries of John F. Kennedy's tour of Europe alongside the "Scrapbook" of his travel companion, Lem Billings, John F. Kennedys Hidden Diary, Europe 1937 offers insights into Kennedy's early experiences on a continent under the shadow of Nazism.
