The text block and illustrations are in fine condition with no marks, tears, or dog ears. There is no bookplate nor signature of previous owner. Not a library book nor remainder. Tight binding. The boards are in fine condition. 8 ½ x 6, 110 pages, 10 ounces XX [From the back cover] This book considers representations of wealth and the wealthy in videogames. The introduction explores the estrangement of wealth from everyday life in the contemporary west, and argues that videogames have contributed to modern life by dramatizing the economic anxieties of our age—in particular, those anxieties that relate to the Global Great Recession. A review of historical titles reveals that such and related efforts draw in significant ways from the literary tradition of sentimental romance, where wealth and the wealthy have long been associated with notions of the underworld or hell. The relevance of this tradition to contemporary titles is explored through a careful analysis of romantic themes and concerns with significance to acts of exchange. THE WEALTH OF VIRTUAL NATIONS will appeal to students with an interest in narrative theory, game design, literature, economics, and the humanities. It will also be of interest to the videogame industry. Adam Crowley is Associate Professor of English at Husson University, Bangor, Maine.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Content Description. The Violence of Democracy: Political Life in Postwar El Salvador examines the complicated relationship between democracy, political life, and persistent violence in El Salvador following the end of the country's civil war. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, Ainhoa Montoya explores how the legacies of war and subsequent neoliberal political and economic changes became intertwined with Salvadoran democratic institutions and everyday political life. Montoya examines connections between political actors and networks of violence, the increasingly blurred boundaries between legal and illicit activity, the persistence of wartime political divisions during postwar elections, and the ways Salvadorans understand and experience democracy amid continuing violence. The book also considers grassroots memory work and changing political alignments as possible avenues toward a more substantive and less violent democracy. Part of Palgrave Macmillan's Studies of the Americas series, the volume brings together political anthropology, Latin American studies, democratization, post-conflict studies, and the study of political violence. Of particular interest to scholars and students of El Salvador, Central America, Latin American politics, political anthropology, democracy and democratization, post-conflict societies, peacebuilding, and political violence.

A very good used copy with no major flaws. Publisher's note: Looking at discretion broadly as the exercise of controlled freedom, this edited volume introduces insights from a range of social sciences perspectives. Traditionally, discussions of discretion have drawn on legal notions of the appropriate exercise of legitimate authority specified by legislators. However, empirical and theoretical studies in the social sciences have extended our understanding of discretion, moving us beyond a narrow legal view. Contributors from a range of disciplines explore the idea of discretion and related notions of freedom and control across social and political practices and in different contexts. As this complex and important topic is discussed and examined, both total control and unconstrained freedom appear to be illusions.

NOTE THAT SINCE THE BOOK WEIGHS OVER ONE POUND, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES OR REQUIRE PRIORITY SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S. XX [From the back cover] Despite the boom in scholarship in both Comics Studies and Memory Studies, the two fields rarely interact-especially with issues beyond the representation of traumatic and autobiographical memories in comics. With a focus on the roles played by styles and archives-in their physical and metaphorical manifestations-this edited volume offers an original intervention, highlighting several novel ways of thinking about comics and memory as comics memory. Bringing together scholars as well as cultural actors, the contributions combine studies on European and North American comics and offer a representative overview of the main comics genres and forms, including superheroes, Westerns, newspaper comics, diary comics, comics reportage and alternative comics. In considering the many manifestations of memory in comics as well as the functioning and influence of institutions, public and private practices, the book exemplifies new possibilities for understanding the complex entanglements of memory and comics. XX Maaheen Ahmed is a postdoctoral fellow at the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) at Ghent University Belgium. She is currently working on possibilities for conceptualizing the relationship between comics and different kinds of memories, ranging from personal memories to collective and medium-based ones. Her books include Openness of Comics (2016) and Le Statut culturel de la bande dessinée/The Cultural Standing of Comics (2017), co-edited with Stéphanie Delneste and Jean-Louis TilleuiL She recently received an ERC Starting Grant for her project on children in European comics. Benoit Crucifix is a FRS-FNRS doctoral fellow at the University of Liége and UCLouvain, Belgium. His thesis focuses on the cultural memory of comics in the contemporary graphic novel. His research on comics memory has been published in European Comic Art, The Comics Grid, Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics and Inks. He is a member of the ACME Comics Research Group and of the editorial board of Comicalités.…
