Jessica Tiffin
Marvelous Geometry: Narrative and Metafiction in Modern Fairy Tale (Fairy-tale Studies)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This title explores self-consciousness and metafictional awareness in modern fairy tale and its expression across literary fairy tale, popular fairy tale, and fairy-tale film. In `Marvelous Geometry`, Jessica Tiffin argues that within twentieth- and twenty-first-century Western literature there exists a diverse body of fairy-tale texts that display a common thread of metafictional self-awareness. The narrative pattern of these texts is self-conscious, overtly structured, variously fantastical, and, Tiffin argues, easily recognized and interpreted by modern audiences. In this broadly comparative study she explores contemporary fairy-tale fictions found in modern literature and live-action and animated film and television to explore fairy tale`s ability to endlessly reinvent itself and the cultural implications of its continued relevance. Tiffin`s skilled analysis draws on the critical fields of postmodernism, narratological analysis, stucturalism, feminism, and performativity, without… [detailed...]

VINCENT BARNETT
Marx (Routledge Historical Biographies)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Karl Marx has been portrayed in equal measure both as a political prophet who foresaw the end of capitalist exploitation, and as a populist Anti- Christ whose totalitarian legacy has cost millions of lives worldwide. This new biography looks beyond these caricatures in order to understand more about the real Karl Marx, about his everyday life and personal circumstances as well as his political ideology. The book tells the life story of a man of ideas, showing how his political and economic thought developed alongside his life and practical work. Vincent Barnett seeks to paint Karl Marx not as a static, unwavering character, but as a man whose beliefs developed dynamically over time. The book explores his personal background, and problems of personal income and family health. It also examines the influence of Hegela`s methods on Marx`s work, and his relationship with Engels. This lively, up to date guide to the life of Karl Marx provides an excellent starting point for students in… [detailed...]

Douglas Keesey
Marx Bros.

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Marx Brothers - Groucho, Chico, Harpo and sometimes Zeppo - spent over 2O years perfecting their comic timing in vaudeville routines and Broadway theatre revues before becoming one of cinema`s most successful comedy teams. They made 13 films together between 1929 and 1949, including Duck Soup (19ЗЗ), A Night at the Opera (1935), and A Day at the Races (1937), and appeared separately in dozens of additional film and television roles. Groucho is immediately recognizable with his big cigar, bushy eyebrows, greasepaint moustache and stooped walk. He would impersonate authority figures in a way that lampooned their pomposity, whether as Captain Jeffrey T.Spaulding, Dr. Hugo Z.Hackenbush or Attorney J.Cheever Loophole, Brother Zeppo played the straight man to wisecracking Groucho, taking a relentless ribbing. Groucho once said, `The only surefire way to test out a new gag was to try it out on Zeppo. If he liked it, we threw it out.` Despite the fact that Zeppo, with his handsome… [detailed...]

Caroline Humphrey
Marx Went Away-But Karl Stayed Behind

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: When it appeared in 1983, Caroline Humphrey`s Karl Marx Collective was the first detailed study of the Soviet collective farm system. Through careful ethnographic work on two collective farms operated in Buryat communities in Siberia, the author presented an absorbing--if dispiriting--account of the actual functioning of a planned economy at the local level. Now this classic work is back in print in a revised edition that adds new material from the author`s most recent research in the former Soviet Union. In two new chapters she documents what has happened to the two farms in the collapsing Russian economy. She finds that collective farms are still the dominant agricultural forms, not out of nostalgic sentiment or loyalty to theSoviet ideal, but from economic and political necessity. Today the collectives are based on households and small groups coming together out of choice. There have been important resurgences in `traditional` thinking about… [detailed...]

Marx and Nature: A Red and Green Perspective

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: There may still be disagreement about the threat to human survival posed by society’s environmental impacts, but no one can doubt that individual eco-systems and the global biosphere are both increasingly shaped by human production and consumption. This book shows that Marx’s treatment of natural conditions possesses an inner logic, coherence, and analytical power which has not been previously recognized. The power of Marx’s approach stems from his consistent treatment of human production in terms of the mutual constitution of its social form and material content. While recognizing that production is structured by historically developed relations among producers, Marx also insists that production as a social and material process isshaped and constrained by natural conditions, including the natural condition of human bodily existence. Paul Burkett shows that it is Marx’s overriding concern with human emancipation that impels him to approach nature from the… [detailed...]

Kevin M. Brien
Marx, Reason, And the Art of Freedom

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Second Edition Foreword by Marx W. Wartofsky In this analysis of the problem of freedom from a humanistic-Marxist perspective, philosopher Kevin M. Brien draws on the full chronological spectrum of Marx`s writings to reconstruct the mature Marx`s view of freedom under three broad categories: freedom as a mode of being, freedom as transcendence, and freedom as spontaneity. While recognizing that many students of Marx have noted two distinctly different perspectives in early and late Marx, Brien interprets Marx`s philosophy as a coherent organic whole. He demonstrates that Marx`s thought is principally and systematically an elaborated philosophical-scientific theory of freedom. New to this second edition is an extended postscript in which Brien provides critical responses to a number of published reviews of the first edition of his book. In addition, Brien also presents a humanistic-Marxist interpretation of spirituality. In so doing he identifies a potential revolutionizing… [detailed...]

Tristram Hunt
Marx`s General: The Revolutionary Life of Friedrich Engels

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A remarkable new biography from one of Britain’s leading young historians that recovers the co-founder of communism from the shadows of historyFriedrich Engels is one of the most intriguing and contradictory figures of the nineteenth century. Born to a prosperous Prussian mercantile family, he spent his life working in the Manchester cotton industry, riding to the Cheshire hounds, and enjoying the comfortable upper-middle-class existence of a Victorian gentleman. Yet Engels was also, with Karl Marx, the founder of international communism, which in the twentieth century came to govern one-third of the human race. He was the coauthor of The Communist Manifesto, a ruthless party tactician, and the man who sacrificed his best years so that Marx could write Das Kapital. His searing account of the Industrial Revolution, The Condition of the Working Class in England, remains one of the most haunting and brutal indictments of the human costs of capitalism. Far more than Marx’s indispensable… [detailed...]

Meghnad Desai
Marx`s Revenge: The Resurgence of Capitalism and the Death of Statist Socialism

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `In the triumphant resurgence of capitalism and indeed its global reach, the one thinker who is vindicated is Karl Marx. The demise of the socialist experiment inaugurated by October 1917 would not distress but cheer Marx if, as an atheist, he occupies any part of Hell, Purgatory or Heaven. Indeed, if it came to a choice between whether the Market or the State should rule the economy, the modern libertarians would be shocked as much as the modern socialists to find Marx on the side of the Market.` `This book is meant to annoy and provoke…`. A distinguished economist and seasoned heretic, Meghnad Desai has spent most of his life as an advocate on the Left. This book is the culmination of a period of reassessment initiated by the challenge of Thatcherism, the collapse of the Soviet system, and the British Labour Party`s embrace of market -driven politics, which has led Desai to his recognition of `the end of the road for democratic socialism.` In this provocative and… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description This book provides a contemporary assessment of Marx`s theory of money. This theory is often praised as one of Marx`s greatest achievements, especially when compared with either classical or neoclassical economics. On the other hand,Marx`s theory of money has also been severely criticized, especially that is seems to require that money be a produced commodity. The contributors to the volume provide a wide-ranging and in-depth appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of Marx`s theory of money, compared to other theories of money. [detailed...]

Marx`s Theory of the Genesis of Money: How, Why and Through What Is a Commodity Money?

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What is money? A simple question that is surprisingly difficult to answer - or at least to answer well. Typical explanations of money offer a mere description (rather than an essential definition) of money by listing up its various functions, starting with the function of money as a means of paying for goods and services.Karl Marx offers us a more fundamental understanding of money in his classic book Capital. In Chapter 1 and 2 (prior to explaining the functions of money in Chapter 3), Marx clarifies the essence of money as the material used by a commodity to express its own value, considers why money is necessary in the first place under capitalism, and then identifies the factor that propels a given commodity into the role of money.Samezo- Kuruma takes a close look at each of those three key theoretical issues related to the concept of money in Marx`s Theory of the Genesis of Value (with a focus on the theory of the value-form). Kuruma`s book not only elucidates the essence of… [detailed...]

It has achieved attention from the likes of Meghnad Desai and Michio Morishima but can still be considered to be understudied. Andrew Trigg redresses this by relating Marx`s schema to Keynes`s multiplier, Leontieff`s input-output analysis, Domar`s growth model and Kalecki`s principle - in the process offering intriguing and innovative clarifications.

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book undertakes the first general assessment of ecological economics from a Marxist point of view, and shows how Marxist political economy can make a substantial contribution to ecological economics. The analysis is developed in terms of four basic issues: (1) nature and economic value, (2) the treatment of nature as capital, (3) the significance of the entropy law for economic systems, (4) the concept of sustainable development. In each case, it is shown that Marxism can help ecological economics fulfill its commitments to multi-disciplinarity, methodological pluralism, and historical openness. In this way, a foundation is constructed for a substantive dialogue between Marxists and ecological economists. [detailed...]

Marxism and Literature

1978 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: This book extends the theme of Raymond Williams`s earlier work in literary and cultural analysis. He analyses previous contributions to a Marxist theory of literature from Marx himself to Lukacs, Althusser, and Goldmann, and develops his own approach by outlining a theory of `cultural materialism` which integrates Marxist theories of language with Marxist theories of literature. Williams moves from a review of the growth of the concepts of literature and idealogy to a redefinition of `determinism` and `hegemony`. His incisive discussion of the `social material process` of cultural activity culminates in a re-examination of the problems of alignment and commitment and of the creative practice in individual authors and wider social groups.

Mary Austin and the American West

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Mary Austin (1868-1934)--eccentric, independent, and unstoppable--was twenty years old when her mother moved the family west. Austin`s first look at her new home, glimpsed from California`s Tejon Pass, reset the course of her life, `changed her horizons and marked the beginning of her understanding, not only about who she was, but where she needed to be.` At a time when Frederick Jackson Turner had announced the closing of the frontier, Mary Austin became the voice of the American West. In 1903, she published her first book, The Land of Little Rain, a wholly original look at the West`s desert and its ethnically diverse peoples. Defined in a sense by the places she lived, Austin also defined the places themselves, whether Bishop, in the Sierra Nevada, Carmel, with its itinerant community of western writers, or Santa Fe, where she lived the last ten years of her life. By the time of her death in 1934, Austin had published over thirty books and counted as friends the leading literary and… [detailed...]

Mary Cassatt: Painter of Modern Women (World of Art)

1998 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This study redefines the American artist Mary Cassatt`s status in the Parisian avant-garde and in American art, placing her work in the wider context of 19th-century feminism and art theory. Cassatt`s art explores a `new woman`s` perspective on the spaces of modernity: at the theatre, in the drawing-room and garden, in the studio. Admired by Degas - who invited her to show with the Impressionists in 1877 - Cassatt`s work reveals her profound study of old masters and keen responses to contemporary French and Spanish painters. Pollock emphasizes Cassatt`s interest in Manet and her influence on American collections of French modernism. She also argues that Cassatt`s experimentation with etching and pastel from the late 1880s enabled her to represent children and women without sentiment but with a deepening awareness of a complex psychological charge.

Mary Cassatt

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionBorn into the male dominated world of the nineteenth century, middle-class Pennsylvania society, Mary Cassatt became a feminist and turned what was a lady?s accomplishment into a profession becoming a radical painter, working in Paris and exhibiting with the Impressionists. Degas, Manet, Gauguin and Pissaro, amongst others, knew and admired her work, and yet, since her death in 1926, Cassatt has received little critical acclaim, and her importance, both personally as an individual artist and historically within the evolution of the Impressionist movement, has largely been obscured. The efforts of the feminist movement in the last decade, however, have stimulated long-deserved public and critical interest in Mary Cassatt. GriseldaPollock examines the reasons for the unjust neglect of one of America?s outstanding artistic talents. She gauges the wide variety of influences which shaped her career, from her commitment to her early oils and pastels and her… [detailed...]
