Book SynopsisSexualised Masculinity: Menâs Bodies in 21st Century Media Culture explores evolving portrayals of masculinity in contemporary media, focusing on the increasing eroticisation of the male body.This book examines how traditional and digital media â from films and television to social media platforms and fashion â have transformed the ways masculinity is represented and perceived.

Taylor & Francis Imagining Muslims in South Asia and the Diaspora
Book SynopsisLiterary, cinematic and media representations of the disputed category of the âSouth Asian Muslimâ have undergone substantial change in the last few decades and particularly since the events of September 11, 2001. Here we find the first book-length critical analysis of these representations of Muslims from South Asia and its diaspora in literature, the media, culture and cinema.Contributors contextualize these depictions against the burgeoning post-9/11 artistic interest in Islam, and also against cultural responses to earlier crises on the subcontinent such as Partition (1947), the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war and secession of Bangladesh, the 1992 Ayodhya riots , the 2002 Gujarat genocide and the Kashmir conflict. Offering a comparative approach, the book explores connections between artistsâ generic experimentalism and their interpretations of life as Muslims in South Asia and its diaspora, exploring literary and popular fiction, memoir, poetry, news media, and film. The collectiTrade Review"Overall, this is an incredibly rich source of material that challenges dominant Western discourse about Muslim identity as a homogeneous entity. It illustrates the contributing factors to this misrepresentation of Muslim identity and experiences within present and historical depictions of Muslim people and the Islamic faith and for highlighting core texts about Muslim culture and experiences within South Asia written by Muslim authors."Danita Catherine Burke - Journal of International Relations Research - Issue 5 - December 2015This book offers an interesting collection of essays focusing on the image and representations of Islam and Muslim identity and the complications surrounding both. […] In the process of interpreting Muslim identity, the stereotypes created by South Asian writers are challenged by some authors because in their view this means the misrepresentation of Muslim identity and Islam as ideology. This work emphasizes the responsible role of a creative writer as well as academics who can continue the dialogue and clarify the ambiguities surrounding the topic in focus. While some authors fairly believe that if literature or theory fails to deal with the complexities of issues, bridging discourses like art, fiction and film can address certain ambiguities.Nukhbah Taj Langah, Forman Christian College, Lahore, Pakistan in Pacific AffairsTable of ContentsIntroduction: Contexts and Text Part I: Surveying the Field; Comparative Approaches 1.

New types of consumers emerged: the idealized working-class consumer, the African consumer and the teenager challenged the prominent position of the middle and upper-class female shopper. Linking politics and pleasure, Consuming Behaviours explores how individual consumers and groups reacted to changes in marketing, government control, popular leisure and the availability of consumer goods.From football to male fashion, tea to savings banks, leading scholars consider a wide range of products, ideas and services and how these were marketed to the British public through periods of imperial decline, economic instability, war, austerity and prosperity. The development of mass consumer society in Britain is examined in relation to the growing cultural hegemony and economic power of the United States, offering comparisons between British consumption patterns and those of other natioTrade Review"This is an outstanding collection of essays ... that should be required reading for both academics and students, for the sheer consistency of its scholarship and ambition across no fewer than fifteen chapters ...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Metafiction
Book SynopsisMetafiction explores the great variety and effects of this popular genre and style, variously defined as a type of literature that philosophically questions itself, that repudiates the conventions of literary realism, that questions the relationship between fiction and reality, or that lies at the border between fiction and non-fiction. Yaël Schlick surveys a wide range of metafictional writings by diverse authors, with particular focus on the contemporary period.This book asks not only what metafiction is but also what it can do, examining metafictional narratives'' usefulness for exploring the role of art in society, its role in conceptualizing the figure of author and the reader of fiction, its investigation and playfulness with respect to language and linguistic conventions, and its troubling of the boundaries between fact and fiction in historiographic metafiction, autofiction, and autotheory.Metafiction is an engaging and accessible introduction tTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionChapter 1: Art about Art: Metafictional Narrative and the Role of Art in SocietyChapter 2: Rethinking the Author and Activating the Reader in MetafictionChapter 3: Ludic Metafiction: On Literature and Language GamesChapter 4: Historiographic Metafiction: Postmodernism and the Historical NovelChapter 5: Autofiction: Troubling Autobiographical AssumptionsGlossaryBibliographyIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Emerging Technologies Life at the Edge of the
Book SynopsisEmerging Technologies / Life at the Edge of the Future invites us to think forward from our present moment of planetary, public and everyday crisis, through the prism of emerging technologies.It calls for a new ethical, responsible and equitable path towards possible futures, curated through in-depth engagement with and across experiential, environmental and technological possibilities. It tackles three of the most significant challenges for contemporary society by asking: how emerging technologies are implicated in the sites of everyday lives; what place emerging technologies have in an evolving world in crisis; and how we might better imagine and shape ethical, equitable and responsible futures. The book interweaves three narratives, each of which advances three sets of concerns for our societal futures: Emergence', which addresses futures, trust and hope; Worlds', which addresses data, air and energy; and Technologies', which addresses the future of mobiTrade Review'What will our future look like? We often think of flying cars, holograms, vacations on a geostationary space station, robots preparing and serving our breakfast, kitchens with flashing buttons reminiscent of a spaceship's cockpit...These stereotypical images foreground technologies and hide the humans. This book instead focuses on people andtheir communities to present the key issues that will shape our future. Most importantly, it shows the value of socialsciences in designing new technologies for home, mobility, and work. Sarah Pink underscores the need for a new movement that unites anthropologists and other experts in interdisciplinary teams who dare to step to the edge of the future, look at the horizon, and explain how our stories might unfold on our planet and beyond, and how we might live well with emerging technologies.'Dan Podjed, PhD, Research Fellow and Associate Professor, Institute for Slovenian Ethnology, Slovenia'In this fascinating book, Sarah Pink draws on 20 years of pioneering empirical research and concept-making to examine how ethical, equitable and responsible futures can be produced in a world of rapidly evolving technologies that are designed to serve particular interests. Playful and provocative, Emerging Technologies unsettles how we think about and approach the future, challenging the reader to imagine and create new horizons.'Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute, IrelandTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Museums and Collections of Higher Education
Book SynopsisThe Museums and Collections of Higher Education provides an analysis of the historic connections between materiality and higher education, developed through diverse examples of global practice. Outlining the different value propositions that museums and collections bring to higher education, the historic link between objects, evidence and academic knowledge is examined with reference to the origin point of both types of organisation. Museums and collections bring institutional reflection, cross-disciplinary bridges, digital extension options and participatory potential. Given the two primary sources of text and object, a singular source type predisposes a knowledge system to epistemic stasis, whereas mixed sources develop the potential for epistemic disruption and possible change. Museums and collections, therefore, are essential in the academies of higher learning. With the many challenges confronting humanity, it is argued that connecting intellect with social actionTable of ContentsChapter 1 An introduction to the museums and collections of higher education; Chapter 2 Developing institutional narratives; Chapter 3 Crossing discipline boundaries; Chapter 4 Getting more from objects and collections; Chapter 5 Involving people and communities; Chapter 6 Lessons from university museums and collections; References; Index.
