New Waves in Truth - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

New Waves in Truth - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Two decades ago, there was a great flurry of work on the subject of truth, which subsequently set much of the agenda for future debates. Interest in the subject of truth remains unabated at all levels of inquiry, both within philosophy and from without, in both academic and popular guises. But while truth continues to be of focal interest, it seems that there have been remarkably fewer new directions since then. New Waves in Truth offers eighteen new and original research papers on truth and other alethic phenomena by twenty of the most promising young scholars working on truth today. Contributions to the volume span truth ascriptions, deflationism, realism and the correspondence theory, the value of truth, and kinds of truth and truth-apt discourse. The research programs of the contributors are beginning to reset that agenda, and each is positioned to make new waves throughout the subject.

New Argentine Film - G. Aguilar - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

New Argentine Film - G. Aguilar - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

New Argentine Film is the most complete text to be published on the new Argentine cinema. While anchored in critical discourse and written by an academic, it also has the virtue of using clear and accessible language. In addition, the book is more than a study of cinema; in its pages, the author reflects upon the recent crisis in Argentina. In the words of Argentine critic Diego Trerotola, "the trajectory of this essay forms a vivid map of over ten years of innovation, in order to understand the aesthetic work of our national cinema."

New England Nation - B. Daniels - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

New England Nation - B. Daniels - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

New England Nation provides an engaging social history of the extraordinary Puritan world that flowered into a vibrant civilization in seventeenth-century New England and then implanted itself into American history. The book opens by situating Puritanism in the European and English reformations and then examines seventeenth-century New England as an autonomous, holistic society based on Puritan principles, and also as a part of the Atlantic and British colonial worlds. It then teases out subsequent Puritan influence on the next four centuries of American culture. Farmers, sailors, and sinners join the usual Puritan ministers of the seventeenth century and so, too, do women, children, Indians, and dissenters. The physical and material world are included in the story as much as the spiritual world. Combining fascinating primary sources with a lively narrative, this book makes the first Pilgrim nation a believable place with real people who have many of the same fears and pleasures as today''s Americans.

New Femininities - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

New Femininities - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This volume brings together twenty original essays on the changes and continuities in gender relations and intersecting politics of sexuality, race, class and location. The book is situated in debates about contemporary culture at a moment of rapid technological change, global interconnectedness and the growing cultural dominance of neoliberalism and postfeminism. The collection traverses disciplines, spaces and approaches. It is marked by an extraordinarily wide focus, ranging from analyses of celebrity magazines and makeover shows to examinations of the experiences of young female migrants, ''mail order brides'' and young women who repudiate feminism. The contributions are united by their attempts to think through the ways in which experiences and representations of femininity are changing in the twenty-first century. Are we seeing new femininities? Are neoliberalism and postfeminism constructing new identities and subjectivities? What kinds of analytic tools and cultural politics are needed to engage critically with the current moment? This book will be of interest to everyone studying gender, media or cultural studies.
