Posters of Cold War

2008 y.
Publisher: V&,A Publications
Description: The Cold War was fought on many fronts. Rarely contested with `hot` weapons, it was, in many ways, a propaganda war in which images were used to produce both fear and loyalty, at home and abroad. The poster was a crucial medium in this war of images, employed not only by the superpowers to demonstrate their economic, technical, cultural, moral and, above all, ideological superiority, but also by protest groups. Radicals on both sides of the East-West divide seized the medium to broadcast their opposition to the Cold War order. Posters were pasted on the walls of Moscow, Paris, Berlin and Beijing at moments of electric political tension. Формат: 21 см x 28 см. [detailed...]

Postindustrial Possibilities: A Critique of Economic Discourse

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: While it is often acknowledged that we live in a `postindustrial` age, our economic concepts have lagged far behind our postmodern sensibility. In this incisive new work, the well-known sociologist, Fred Block, sheds obsolete and shopworn economic analysis by presenting a bold, sweeping reconceptualization of the economy. Postindustrial Possibilities provides a fresh understanding of the dynamics of postindustrial change while offering a roadmap for future economic thinking. Block takes as his point of departure the tired concepts of neo-classical economics which, while still dominant, fall short as tools for comprehending contemporary economic forces. In Block`s mind, the failure to revise the concepts of industrial economics means that the reality of today`s economy is increasingly understood as `through a glass darkly.` Intent on reinvigorating thinking in this area, Block masterfully critiques the central categories of neo-classical economics, such as the market, labor, and… [detailed...]

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers

Contemporary art has become the site of cultural exchanges during our time, with global materials and contexts.

Employing concepts from anthropology, family studies, history, and sociology, the contributors present the ambitious new directions in which the interview has gone, such as: How the interview process is refracted through the lens of language, knowledge, culture, and difference How the dividing line between fact and fiction is blurred to promote richer understanding … [detailed...]

Postmodern Moments in Modern Economics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Of all the areas of contemporary thought, economics seems the most resistant to the destabilizing effects of postmodernism. Yet, David Ruccio and Jack Amariglio argue that one can detect, within the diverse schools of thought that comprise the disciplineof economics, `moments` that defy the modernist ideas to which many economists and methodologists remain wedded. This is the first book to document the existence and to explore the implications of the postmodern moments in modern economics. Ruccio and Amariglio begin with a powerful argument for the general relevance of postmodernism to contemporary economic thought. They then conduct a series of case studies in six key areas of economics. From the idea of the `multiple self` and notions of uncertaintyand information, through market anomalies and competing concepts of value, to analytical distinctions based on gender and academic standing, economics is revealed as defying the modernist frame of a singular science.

Postmodern Text and Emotional Audiences

2007 y.
Publisher: Purdue University Press
Description: Chabot Davis analyzes contemporary texts that bond together two seemingly antithetical sensibilities: the sentimental and the postmodern. Ranging across multiple media and offering a methodological union of textual analysis and reception study, Chabot Davis presents case studies of audience responses. Chabot Davis argues that sentimental postmodernism deepened leftist political engagement by moving audiences to identify emotionally with people across the divisions of gender, sexual identity, race, and ethnicity. This study questions the critical equation of postmodernism with apocalyptic nihilism and political apathy. The book also challenges the assumption that sentimentality and sympathy are inherently conservative and imperialistic. [detailed...]

In the last two decades Western governments have sought to replace the post-war welfare compact with neo-conservative individualism. The prospects for the Left look bleak.

From a critical perspective founded in Marxism and feminism, Leonard uses elements of postmodern deconstruction to consider how we might now re-think the present and future of welf [detailed...]

Justin Thacker
Postmodernism and the Ethics of Theological Knowledge

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: This book establishes the necessary integration of theological knowledge with theological ethics. It does this as a response to the postmodern critique of Christianity, as exemplified in Rorty and Lyotard. They argue that any claim to know God is necessarily tyrannical. Contemporary responses to such postmodern thinking often fail to address adequately the ethical critique that is made. This book redresses that balance by suggesting that our knowedge of God and love of the Other are so intimately connected that we cannot have one without the other. In the absence of love, then, we simply do not know God. Justin Thacker proposes that an effective theological response to postmodernity must address both knowledge and ethics in an integrated fashion as presented in this book. [detailed...]
