Taylor & Francis A Theory of Adaptation
Book SynopsisA Theory of Adaptation explores the continuous development of creative adaptation, and argues that the practice of adapting is central to the story-telling imagination. Linda Hutcheon develops a theory of adaptation through a range of media, from film and opera, to video games, pop music and theme parks, analysing the breadth, scope and creative possibilities within each.This new edition is supplemented by a new preface from the author, discussing both new adaptive forms/platforms and recent critical developments in the study of adaptation. It also features an illuminating new epilogue from Siobhan OâFlynn, focusing on adaptation in the context of digital media. She considers the impact of transmedia practices and properties on the form and practice of adaptation, as well as studying the extension of game narrative across media platforms, fan-based adaptation (from Twitter and Facebook to home movies), and the adaptation of books to digital formats.A TheorTrade ReviewThe reviewers were asked if advances in digital media should be covered, and all agreed that they should. Opinions of the current edition are as follows. 'Hutcheon’s book is intelligent and accessible, two features that, unfortunately, rarely come together in academic writing.' - Professor Stephannie Gearhart, Bowling Green State University, US 'Overall I think the book offers an excellent look at the tremendously broad sweep of adaption as it encompasses myriad media.' - Professor David Marshall, California State University San Bernardino, US 'Hutcheon is a terrific theorist and students respond well to the assertive, agenda-shaping approach of this textbook.' - Professor Julie Sanders, University of Nottingham, UK 'The book offers a strong introduction to the study of adaptations.' - Dr David Watson, Uppsala University, Sweden 'The book is good – very solid.' - Dr Joyce Goggin, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Table of ContentsPreface to the 1st Edition Preface to the Revised Edition Chapter 1 Beginning to Theorize Adaptation Chapter 2 What?

Taylor & Francis Gender Hurts A Feminist Analysis of the Politics
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Bravo to Sheila Jeffreys who, with exceptional courage, clarity and scholarship interrogates the dogma of transgenderism – that men can become women and women men via hormones, surgery and/or subjectivity. Gender Hurts challenges us to consider how transgender ideology and practices accommodate gender hierarchy and create harmful consequences for transgendered persons themselves, but also for women and children. Anyone inclined to dismiss these views as transphobic needs to read this lucid and compelling book.’ Janice Raymond is Professor Emerita of Women’s Studies and Medical Ethics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (USA) and author of The Transsexual Empire.‘Feminists fighting to free women from male definitions of what a woman is now find themselves assailed by male transgender activism claiming the right to make precisely such a definition. This clash of human rights has produced more heat than light. But Jeffreys illumines it by countering misogynistic threats of violence with scholarly research and reason. In a climate rife with pain on both sides, toxic with stereotypes, ignorance, misunderstanding, and fear, she dares to offer clarity. Even those who disagree with her must surely recognize that as an act of courage.’ Robin MorganTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter 1 The Construction of TransgenderismChapter 2 Transgenderism and Feminism Chapter 3 Doing Transgender: Really HurtingChapter 4 ‘A gravy stain on the table’: Women in the Lives of Men who TransgenderChapter 5 Women Who Transgender: an Antidote to Feminism?Chapter 6 Gender Eugenics?: The Transgendering of ChildrenChapter 7 A Clash of Rights: when Gender is Inscribed in the Law Chapter 8 Women’s Space and the Transgender ChallengeConclusionBibliography

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Archaic
Book SynopsisThe Archaic takes as its major reference points C.G. Jung''s classic essay, ''Archaic Man'' (1930), and Ernesto Grassi''s paper on ''Archaic Theories of History'' (1990). Moving beyond the confines of a Jungian framework to include other methodological approaches, this book explores the concept of the archaic. Defined as meaning ''old-fashioned'', ''primitive'', ''antiquated'', the archaic is, in fact, much more than something very, very old: it is timeless, inasmuch as it is before time itself. Arche, Urgrund, Ungrund, ''primordial darkness'', ''eternal nothing'' are names for something essentially nameless, yet whose presence we nevertheless intuit.This book focuses on the reception of myth in the tradition of German Idealism or Romanticism (Creuzer, Schelling, Nietzsche), which not only looked back to earlier thinkers (such as Jacob Boehme) but also laid down roots for developments in twentieth-century thought (Ludwig Klages,Trade Review"This much-needed book should go a long way both toward the exploration of the various understandings of the concept of the archaic throughout history, and towards eliciting attention to its significance and relevance for our time. It is a fascinating, outstandingly written collection of individual essays, published under the flawless editorship of Paul Bishop... With fine thinking and writing, polished editing and extensive notes, this is indeed an impressive and useful book... The book is not only a journey through the history of an idea but one of self-discovery too." - Teodora Velletri, University of Essex, UK in ReligionTable of ContentsPart I: Bishop, Introduction: A Brief History of the Archaic.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The New Individualism
Book SynopsisThis is a new and revised edition of a book which has had a major impact upon the social sciences and public political debate. Anthony Elliott and Charles Lemert's THE NEW INDIVIDUALISM inspired readers with the dramatic suggestion that 'the reinvention craze' - from self-help and therapy culture to management restructurings and corporate downsizings - is central to a 'new individualism' sweeping the globe. Giving particular attention to the narratives of people seeking to define anew their lives in an age of globalization, the authors contend that an endless hunger for instant change and relentless emphasis on self-reinvention is fundamental to grasping the disorientating effects of the new individualism.This edition contains a substantial new Introduction in which Elliott and Lemert reply to some of the standard criticisms made of the theory of the new individualism, and also addresses the escalation of new individualist thinking in the wake of recent global crises.Trade Review'It's not a business book, but these two sociologists have some interesting things to say about the way we construct our identities in the age of Botox.' Voted into the 50 Best Management Books For 2006 by The Australian Financial Review.'An inspiring book.'.............Professor Ulrich Beck, British Journal of Sociology'This thought-provoking book is essential reading for social scientists.'..............Journal of Sociology'In The New Individualism Anthony Elliott and Charles Lemert have infused high theory with a sense of what it means for everyday life. Blending a discussion of theory with case histories they take us into the heart of the contemporary dilemmas of globalisation, and the growing inequalities--and awareness of these inequalities--that create a growing sense of unease within even the most prosperous of societies. This is an important contribution to the sociology of a world marked both by increasing fear and unprecedented consumption.'......Dennis Altman, Professor of Politics, LaTrobe University.

Author of Therapy Culture: Cultivating Vulnerability In An Anxious Age, Routledge 2003.'The New Individualism provides us with an original analysis of what is happening to our day-to-day life, and therefore our psyches, under globalization [...] Clearly written and well argued, this book will provide an important tool for anyone struggling to come to terms with our complex world.'..........Drucilla Cornell, Professor of Political Science, Women and Gender studies and Comparative Literature, Rutgers University.'The New Individualism remains the most recent and most intellectually enthusiastic statement of an idea which, more than perhaps anything else sociology has produced in the neoliberal age, captures the spirit of that age.'-Mark Carrigan, University of Warwick, in the Journal of Critical Realism, Vol 9 No 3'It's not a business book, but these two sociologists have some interesting things to say about the way we construct our identities in the age of Botox.'
