Jeff Wall and the Concept of the Picture

Jeff Wall and the Concept of the Picture

This book grapples with fundamental questions about the evolving nature of pictorial representation and the role photography has played in this ongoing process. These issues are explored through a close analysis of key themes that underpin the photography practice of Canadian artist Jeff Wall and through examining important works that have defined his oeuvre. Wall’s strategic revival of ‘the picture’ has had a resounding influence on the development of contemporary art photography by expanding the conceptual and technical frameworks of the medium and introducing a self-reflexive criticality. Naomi Merritt brings a new and original contribution to the scholarship on one of the most significant figures to have shaped the course of contemporary art photography since the 1970s and shines a light on the multilayered connections between photography and art. This book will be of interest to scholars in the history of photography art and visual culture and contemporary art history. | Jeff Wall and the Concept of the Picture

Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Radical and unique in its approach and presentation Marketing Graffiti turns the traditional marketing introduction on its head by helping students to understand the part they already play as ‘consumers’ in the marketing process. Most marketing textbooks tackle the subject as a business function – i. e. how to do marketing in companies and other organizations. Marketing Graffiti shows how marketing is not just a business function but a part of our culture and one in which we are all active as part-time marketers. By rejecting managerially-driven structures in this way Saren's approach makes marketing immediate and instantly recognizable as a process and a phenomenon in which we are already complicit. It helps readers to become aware of what they already know. Critically examining a wide range of products businesses technologies information services ads packaging and branding Saren utilizes everyday images and phenomena to draw out the conceptual foundations of marketing from a social science and cultural studies perspective as something that we all experience in everyday life. This new edition of the first critical marketing textbook discusses the role new technologies (such as social media) play in marketing culture and how this can potentially place more power in the clicks of the consumer. It includes new updated or expanded sections on market exclusion the role of the consumer in innovation space and place pricing consumer communities collaborative consumption and social media marketing. Leading experts in these fields of research and marketing practice also contribute additional sections on these topics. This essential marketing guide is supported by a range of teaching support materials including the latest journal and online references guides to further reading teaching slides and test bank questions | Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

Television shows that we might call ‘prestige television’ represent prison in ways that are sometimes reductive sometimes powerful and sometimes exceedingly complex. This book examines various programmes across the genres of drama comedy and horror that utilize prison or places of incarceration as a central theme or setting to show how they conform to or challenge the standard conversation about the prison industrial complex and the common understanding of prisons as violent spaces where we house the worst among us. Drawing on the work of Angela Davis Doran Larson Dylan Rodriguez Michelle Alexander and Lisa Guenther the author presents focused studies of Orange Is the New Black Rectify American Horror Story and The Walking Dead (along with briefer discussions of The 100 police procedurals and popular sitcoms) to explore the responsibility of television to represent prison in as authentic a fashion as possible the exploitation of the incarcerated in reductive representations of prison and the shifting nature of the national conversation about prison as it is depicted on screen. As such the book will appeal to scholars of cultural and media studies criminology and sociology with interests in incarceration and representations of prison in popular culture. | Prestige Television and Prison in the Age of Mass Incarceration A Wall Rise Up

After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

In the 1980s U. S. officials adopted tax and monetary policies that channeled huge new resources into Wall Street which fueled a stock market boom. To increase profits and payouts to investors as stock prices soared corporate managers consolidated businesses outsourced manufacturing to low-wage countries and adopted new technologies to increase productivity. Government officials then facilitated mergers and negotiated free trade agreements to speed the process of globalization. Wall Street became an engine of capital accumulation and a force for global change. These developments resulted in massive job losses and stagnant wages for most Americans. Meanwhile tax cuts and the stock market boom created vast new wealth for the rich and the top 10 percent seized 50 percent of all income in the United States. The result was growing economic inequality. During the decades that followed globalization triggered regional economic crises toppled governments transformed societies galvanized economic development in China and created new forms of wealth and inequality around the world. Then in 2008 a financial crisis rooted in Wall Street triggered the Great Recession wrecked the legitimacy of globalization as a development strategy and unleashed populist or restrictionist social movements and political parties that challenged globalization and attacked its economic and political foundations. This book examines the origins of globalization in the 1980s the developments that triggered the Great Recession and the political and economic forces that contributed to the disintegration of globalization as a force for change in the modern world. After Globalization explains what happened—and what comes next. | After Globalization Crisis and Disintegration

US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order 1988-1994

US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order 1988-1994

This book investigates the end of the Cold War in Africa and its impact on post-Cold War US foreign policy in the continent. The fall of the Berlin Wall is widely considered the end of the Cold War; however it documents just one of the many ends since the Cold War was a global conflict. This book looks at one of the most neglected extra-European battlegrounds the African continent and explores how American foreign policy developed in this region between the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Drawing on a wide range of recently disclosed documents the book shows that the Cold War in Africa ended in 1988 preceding the fall of the Berlin Wall. It also reveals how since then some of the most controversial and inconsistent episodes of post-Cold War US foreign policy in Africa have been deeply rooted in the unique process whereby American rivalry with the USSR found its end in the continent. The book challenges the traditional narrative by presenting an original perspective on the study of the end of the Cold War and provides new insights into the shaping of US foreign policy during the so-called ‘unipolar moment’. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War history US foreign policy African politics and international relations. | US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order 1988-1994

The Warsaw Pact Reconsidered International Relations in Eastern Europe 1955-1969

The Warsaw Pact Reconsidered International Relations in Eastern Europe 1955-1969

The Warsaw Pact is generally regarded as a mere instrument of Soviet power. In the 1960s the alliance nevertheless evolved into a multilateral alliance in which the non-Soviet Warsaw Pact members gained considerable scope for manoeuvre. This book examines to what extent the Warsaw Pact inadvertently provided its members with an opportunity to assert their own interests emancipate themselves from the Soviet grip and influence Soviet bloc policy. Laurien Crump traces this development through six thematic case studies which deal with such well known events as the building of the Berlin Wall the Sino-Soviet Split the Vietnam War the nuclear question and the Prague Spring. By interpreting hitherto neglected archival evidence from archives in Berlin Bucharest and Rome and approaching the Soviet alliance from a radically novel perspective the book offers unexpected insights into international relations in Eastern Europe while shedding new light on a pivotal period in the Cold War. | The Warsaw Pact Reconsidered International Relations in Eastern Europe 1955-1969

Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities

Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities

Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall this collection of essays examines the ways in which popular media re-construct ideas and ideals of femininity in the post-socialist cultural space. The authors explore a comprehensive range of questions including: How have post-socialist women engaged with media as media producers and consumers as well as objects of media representation? What are the consequences of the commodification of femininity in the post-socialist context? How does the female body serve as a battleground for the enactment and renegotiation of gendered identities and ideologies? How can we understand and theorize post-socialist women’s activist movements? In seeking answers to such questions this volume highlights the need to reconsider feminism as a political and theoretical project with many faces. It bridges research on the mediation of post-socialist femininities with broader concerns about the transnational trajectories of feminism today. This book was originally published as a special issue of Feminist Media Studies. | Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture Static Heroes Social Movements and Empowerment

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture Static Heroes Social Movements and Empowerment

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture inscribes itself within the spatial turn that permeates the ways we look at literary and cultural productions. The volume seeks to clarify the connections between race space class and identity as it concentrates on different occupations and disoccupations enclosures and boundaries. Space is scaled up and down from the body the ground zero of spatiality to the texturology of Manhattan; from the striated place of the office in Melville’s Bartleby the Scrivener on Wall Street to the striated spaces of internment camps and reservations; from the lowest of the low the (human) clutter that lined the streets of Albany NY during the Depression to the new Towers of Babel that punctuate the contemporary architecture of transparencies. As it strings together these spatial narratives the volume reveals how beyond the boundaries that characterize each space every location has loose ends that are impossible to contain. | Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture Static Heroes Social Movements and Empowerment
