  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Charles Dickenss Our Mutual Friend A Publishing

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisEven within the context of Charles Dickens''s history as a publishing innovator, Our Mutual Friend is notable for what it reveals about Dickens as an author and about Victorian publishing. Marking Dickens''s return to the monthly number format after nearly a decade of writing fiction designed for weekly publication in All the Year Round, Our Mutual Friend emerged against the backdrop of his failing health, troubled relationship with Ellen Ternan, and declining reputation among contemporary critics. In his subtly argued publishing history, Sean Grass shows how these difficulties combined to make Our Mutual Friend an extraordinarily odd novel, no less in its contents and unusually heavy revisions than in its marketing by Chapman and Hall, its transformation from a serial into British and U.S. book editions, its contemporary reception by readers and reviewers, and its delightfully uneven reputation among critics in the 150 years since Dickens's death. Enhanced by four appendices that offTrade Review'Grass looks at how Our Mutual Friend came to be during a critical time in Dickens's life: his marriage had ended, his health was deteriorating, and he was returning to the monthly (rather than weekly) serial format after a decade's absence. ...This work is required reading for serious Dickens scholars. ...Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.'Choice 'This book represents an impressive scholarly achievement and will be the authoritative critical work on the novel for years to come. The background, reception, textual history and afterlives of this most sophisticated of Dickens novels are analyzed with both rigor and gusto. An appendix reprinting all known reviews of the text is indispensable. Our Mutual Friend and its fortunes are brought alive in these pages with devotion and detail; Grass has done a great service to Dickens's last finished novel and to Dickens studies more generally.’ - Juliet John, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK and author of Dickens and Mass Culture 'I found this book to be both interesting and very readable, to the point that I will now re-read Our Mutual Friend with a better and different frame of mind, now having an appreciation of the circumstances under which it was written.’ - NSW Dickens Society 'Grass's book provides a useful, all-in-one resource for understanding the publishing history and larger context of Our Mutual Friend. It is a scholarly book written with flashes of Dickensian humor. ... I would have gladly welcomed a book like this several years back ... ' - New Books on Literature 19 (NBOL 19) ’... clearly written and well researched... This volume, handsomely illustrated, will be of greatest use for students wishing to understand the place of Our Mutual Friend in critical history. Sean Grass has done well at contextualizing the creation and publication of this novel, and at reflecting changing critical attitudes toward Dickens’s last completed novel.’ - Dickens Quarterly "By opening with the scornful critique of one who would go on to become another literary great, Grass sets the stakes high for his own efforts: he is out to prove Henry James wrong. With this book, the results of rigorous and probing research recounted in energetic prose and with captivating storytelling, Grass fully succeeds… By illuminating the context around the writing, publishing, and reception of this novel, Grass succeeds in providing a rich resource towards the growing scholarship on Dickens’s final work, and more than drowns out the harsh words of a young American critic that have too often dwarfed the book itself."- Pamela Casey, McGill University, School of Information Studies, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Our Mutual Friend: ’the poorest of Mr Dickens’s works’; The man from somewhere: Ellen Ternan, Staplehurst, and the remaking of Charles Dickens; The cup and the lip: writing Our Mutual Friend; Putting a price upon a man’s mind: Our Mutual Friend in the marketplace; A dismal swamp?

  • Taylor & Francis Total Propaganda From Mass Culture To Popular

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisTotal Propaganda moves the study of propaganda out of the exclusive realm of world politics into the more inclusive study of popular culture, media, and politics. All the participatory functioning elements of the society are aspects of membership in the popular culture. Thus, the values of popular music, media, politics, debates over social issues, and even international trade become everyday propaganda to which everyone may relate.To emphasize the necessity for new thinking about propaganda, Edelstein creates the concepts of the new propaganda and the old, and he devises a language of uninyms to convey their meanings more quickly. Oldprop is characteristic of mass cultures and utilizes totalitarian methods of conflict, hegemony, minimization, demonization, and exclusiveness to achieve its goals. By contrast, newprop is created by members of the popular culture to allow them to engage in accomodation, enhance the individual, and promote inclusiveness. Shifts in the old and the new propaganda are tracked across social issues such as race, religion, sexuality, gender, gun control, and the environment, as well as in fashion, politics, advertising, sports, media, and politics.Central to the concept of total propaganda is that it is not simply additive; it is the product of new energies that are produced by the fusing of propaganda in such related forums as music, art, advertising, sports and politics. It is these synergies, and their production of new energies, that make total propaganda greater than the sum of its parts.Edelstein concludes that the most important distinction that should be drawn between mass culture and popular culture is its text; i.e., its propaganda. In a popular culture, everyone creates and consumes propaganda; in a mass culture almost everyone consumes it but only a few create it. This formulation offers new ways to discuss power and ideology in media texts. As an example, where once the least informed and the least educated were the most subject to propaganda, now the most informed and most educated often are the first to create propaganda and the first to consume it.Trade Review"Total Propaganda offers the reader a nearly total look at U.S. popular culture in the 1990s. Total Propaganda merits the attention of those involved in public relations education."—Public Relations Review"...the book makes fascinating reading mainly because of the author's imaginative and thoughtful references to entertainment, media and some critical social issues, and actors....will offer a pleasant challenge to those who are willing to stretch their definitional horizons and share Edelstein's view that propaganda in our time and place is as ubiquitous as culture."—Journalism & Mass Communication QuarterlyUSE FIRST THREE TESTIMONIALS ONLY FOR GENERAL CATALOGS...

StevensonUniversity of North Carolina"The always inventive author provides a cornucopia of ideas and insights about politics and communication as he deconstructs the old propaganda paradigm and illuminates the new."—David PaletzDuke University"Political scientists and Asia specialists will appreciate the creative approach to the analysis of propaganda with respect to trade and politics."—Alan P.L. LiuCalifornia, Santa Barbara"Total Propaganda is for students and about them. My students are excited about the concept of the new propaganda."—Diana S. TillinghastSan Jose State University"The author's distinction between the old and the new propagandas redirects us to old and new forms of media criticism and old and new media effects."—Steve ChaffeeStanford University"The conceptual distinction between the old and the new propaganda gives us much to think about and is worthy of empirical exploration."—Lee B. BeckerThe Ohio State University"A fresh, creative, and original look at politics, popular culture, and propaganda.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Journalists and Job Loss

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisJournalists and Job Loss explores the profound disruption of journalism work in the 21st century's networked digital media environment. The chapters analyse how journalists have experienced and navigated job loss, re-employment, career change and career re-invention as traditional patterns of newsroom employment give way to occupational change, income insecurity and precarious work in journalism globally. The authors showcase the design, methodology and results of the New Beats project, a ground-breaking longitudinal study of change in the work of Australian journalists, as well as related case studies of job loss and career change in journalism based on research in different national settings across the global North and global South. The book also considers the wider implications of changes in journalism work for media sustainability, gender equity, and journalism work futures. The book provides a theoretically informed and empirically grounded analysis of joTrade ReviewJournalism is unthinkable without journalists. But in the 2010s and early 2020s, the storytellers became the story as the digital revolution – and then the Covid pandemic – ravaged their industry. With perfect timing, this book helps us make sense of what those changes mean for democracy, communication and public life. It tells us about the personal impact of job loss and adaptation, puts the phenomenon of journalism job loss in an international perspective, and points the way to a better understanding of journalism in the present and the future.Professor Sally Young, University of Melbourne, AustraliaThis vital book on the experience of job loss and its aftermath in journalism is among the first to explore comprehensively a phenomenon understudied by journalism scholars and feared by news workers whose livelihoods depend on news organisations’ paycheques. As the pandemic further diminishes employment and increases precarity in journalism, the insights this edited collection provides into these often-traumatic transformations and the subsequent struggles for new careers and professional re-orientation become even more urgent. Especially compelling are those chapters that show how job loss experiences of (ex)journalists intersect with or are shaped by gender, class, race, geographic location, news industry sustainability or options for collective organization.Mirjam Gollmitzer, Université de Montréal, CanadaJournalism is undergoing massive transformations around the world, including unprecedented job losses and growing precarity. Yet, we know little about the experiences of those who have been forced to leave the industry after often long and successful careers. Journalists and Job Loss fills this important gap, giving us a detailed and comparative account of what losing their job has meant to these journalists. It is truly a landmark study that should be required reading for anyone trying to better understand current developments in journalism globally.Folker Hanusch, University of Vienna, AustriaTraditionally the term ‘precarity’ refers to a state of persistent insecurity in respect of employment and income. Today the term also often registers the precariousness of life in our world of accelerating and mutually compounding ecological and economic crises. Journalists and Job Loss with its multi-faceted and in-depth focus on the structural and professional transformations of journalism in an era of digital and industrial change, serves to remind us of the consequences of increased journalist precarity on journalism and the reporting of our increasingly precarious world.

    Book Synopsis2020 was a period of groundbreaking social and political upheaval, in combination with a colossal epidemiological crisisâand it urgently redefined the working conditions of photojournalists. The historic 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and the devastating Covid-19 pandemic presented unique challenges for photojournalism, forcing photographers into a terrain defined by new ethical, technological, and safety (emotional and physical) concerns, as well as innovative attacks on press freedom. Through a series of interviewsâwith top photographers who covered 2020âs biggest crises, as well as key photo editors who grappled with these unprecedented obstacles inside the newsroomâThrough the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter unpacks the industryâs most critical debates as it sheds light on the experiences and thought processes of the visual journalists themselves. Importantly, this book encourages readers to consider the efforts behind the camera lens: the challenges anTrade ReviewThis powerful book focuses on the crises of 2020—but its implications go well beyond that one year. Through the Lens asks us to rethink the ways we view the world through images and to understand that unconscious sociopolitical patterns can be influenced by visuals. This important book is essential reading for anyone interested in how history and culture are shaped by the camera. SHEILA PREE BRIGHT, award-winning photog-rapher and author of #1960Now: Photographs of Civil Rights Activists and Black Lives Matter Protests Through the Lens is a nuanced and sophisticated exploration of the role of photography in the Covid-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter, two historic moments that have raised fundamental questions about photojournalism ethics, identity, and the impact of technological shifts on the field and norms of visual documentation. Dr. Walsh weaves compelling interviews with erudite analysis to contextualize the powerful photos that tell the stories of these transformational events. DR. COURTNEY RADSCH, former Advocacy Director with the Committee to Protect Journalists Through the Lens provides a rare look into the world of photojournalism, giving extraordinary insight into the experiences of those who photographed 2020’s major upheavals. It also forces us to think about the social, political, and historical dynamics of our time and the vital role that photos can play in contemporary conversations. Put simply, it is a masterful overview of the role of photography today. BARBARA DAVIDSON, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer "There have been profound critics and philosophers about photography in the past, and recently the voice I find most interesting is that of Lauren Walsh… Walsh has a particular talent of bringing voices of photographers together in conversation, to help us understand not aperture or the rule of thirds, but significantly more important things like dignity and context and purpose. Her new book, Through The Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter, is a book of morals and beliefs and values that form the core of who we are, our work and why we do it." –Frames Magazine"We may be living in an image-saturated world, but the practice of photojournalism including the decisions that photo editors make and the experiences of photographers in the field rarely receive attention. Lauren Walsh’s new book, Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter, aims to change that, delivering unique insights into the personal and professional challenges photojournalists faced in covering these two seismic global events." –Head On Interactional Magazine "[W]hat happens when the stories being covered force photojournalists into new areas with new ethical and physical safety concerns combined with outright attacks on the press themselves? Dr. Lauren Walsh… looks at both the ethical and safety minded challenges that photojournalists have faced covering both the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter Movement in her new book Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter." – Blind Magazine"Richly illustrated with evocative photos, this book reminds us that photojournalism doesn’t simply mirror the world; it has the power to change it." -- YAHOO NEWS"For a field still dominated by white men, 'Through the Lens' brings a refreshing diversity of voices to a set of questions around privacy and consent, the role of captions, graphic imagery and censorship."Colin Dickey, LOS ANGELES TIMES"Visual journalism holds the power to attest, to interrogate, to educate. In the current conflicts around the world, journalists and photographers relay stories to their audiences, yet few may stop to consider how these images and news features are created and what roles they can play in future. In her new book THROUGH THE LENS: THE PANDEMIC AND BLACK LIVES MATTER, Lauren Walsh conducts interviews with leading photographers and photo editors in visual journalism during 2020’s biggest crises, and discussed the challenges they faced in this time, as well as how photojournalism continues to evolve in the present." -- Photomonitor"In her excellent new book, Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter, NYU professor Lauren Walsh attempts to understand the historic year through the vantage point of the photojournalists that were on the frontlines capturing a multitude of unprecedented events. Walsh records the emotional toll that came with "covering death, destruction, and endemic racism." --VICE WORLD NEWSTable of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisAn accessible introduction to understanding the current media environment and the culture it contains, this book provides an indispensable guide to dynamic media literacy in the digital environment.Katherine G. Fry draws from philosophies of technology and communication, from media ecology, critical cultural theory, and critical pedagogy to explain the dimensions of media environments. Fry introduces an essential dynamic media environment model that can be used as a framework for understanding global social challenges. The model extends media literacy education and practice by de-centering media messages, instead explaining media as environments as cultures created by and within our dominant form of communication. Exploring progressive education philosophies that advocate inclusion, independence, empathy, and critical thinking toward problem-solving in a rapidly changing world, this book includes media literacy examples, global case studies, exercises, and learning tools to Trade ReviewIn Dynamic Media Environments, Katherine G. Fry makes a compelling case for media literacy pedagogies and practices that embrace mediated environments and media ecologies. This text breaks important ground in evoking power, place and paradigms to bring critical media literacy practices into focus in formal and informal learning spaces. Fry's model reflects the media realities that guide daily life in local and global contexts and offers a series of media environment approaches to media education practice.

    Book SynopsisDrawing on a range of theoretical and empirical perspectives, this volume examines the roles strategic communications play in creating social media messaging campaigns designed to engage in digital activism. As social activism and engagement continue to rise, individuals have an opportunity to use their agency as creators and consumers to explore issues of identity, diversity, justice, and action through digital activism. This edited volume situates activism and social justice historically and draws parallels to the work of activists in today's social movements such as modern-day feminism, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, Missing Murdered Indigenous Women, and We Are All Khaled Said. Each chapter adds an additional filter of nuance, building a complete account of mounting issues through social media movements and at the same time scaffolding the complicated nature of digital collective action.The book will be a useful supplement to courses in public relations, journalism, sTrade Review“This is a vibrant collection that includes contributions from a range of engaged scholarly perspectives and expertise. Together is provides readers with an instructive, interrelated conversation on digital activism. Most significantly the collection highlights a long history of activism, with featured spotlights on crucial but often overlooked figures and helps readers to see how digital activism fits into this larger trajectory. Overall, the collection works to ground and inspire those of us committed to social change and maps out a blueprint for sustainable actions for a better future.”Shana MacDonald, University of Waterloo, Canada.“As we approach the fourth decade of the twenty-first century, it is becoming increasingly clear that scholarship must critically reflect on how we arrived at a contemporary moment where social movements and social media intersect. This volume does just that by bringing together scholarly perspectives that critically examine activism in the digital age. It is a timely resource that centers the collective actions of communities leveraging social media to make significant contributions in society worldwide.”Tara L.

    Book SynopsisMany writers dream of having their work published by a respected publishing house, but don't always understand publishing contract terms what they mean for the contracting parties and how they inform book-publishing practice. In turn, publishers struggle to satisfy authors' creative expectations against the industry's commercial demands. This book challenges our perceptions of these authorpublisher power imbalances by recasting the publishing contract as a cultural artefact capable of adapting to the industry's changing landscape. Based on a three-year study of publishing negotiations, Katherine Day reveals how relational contract theory provides possibilities for future negotiations in what she describes as a post negotiation space'.Drawing on the disciplines of cultural studies, law, publishing studies and cultural sociology, this book reveals a unique perspective from publishing professionals and authors within the post negotiation space, presenting the editor as a fundamTable of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisOffering one of the most comprehensive assessments of alternative media to date, Beyond Mainstream Media examines the rise of alternative media over the last decade, analysing their changing content and editorial strategies, and exploring why many people go beyond the mainstream media for news and information. Considering the differences in agenda between alternative and mainstream media coverage, Cushion sheds light on why right-wing alternative media have become a more prominent part of national media systems than left-wing sites in the Western World. In doing so, he argues that alternative left-wing media should place less emphasis on attacking professional journalism and focus more on converging into the world of mainstream news to promote their politics. This book draws on over 3,500 articles and 17,000 social media posts produced by alternative media, extensive interviews with editors and contributors, and a survey of over 2,700 media users. It develops a compaTrade Review‘Cushion's Beyond Mainstream Media is rigorously researched and masterfully written. Given its international scope and provocative critique, the book promises to become a key text within political communication and journalism studies. I urge my colleagues to read and engage with it.’Professor Victor Pickard, University of Pennsylvania ‘Cushion’s work is invaluable to understanding how the evolution of alternative news is intrinsically tied to mainstream politics and professional journalism. This book suggests the future of news could look brighter with more commingling of alternative and mainstream approaches.’ Professor Jennifer Rauch, Linfield University, author of Resisting the News: Engaged Audiences, Alternative Media and Popular Critique of Journalism'A fascinating and much needed empirical analysis of the production, content and user engagement of ‘alternative political media’ in the UK that helps us to understand why people trust mainstream media (and politics) less and how alternative news media have evolved in relation to them. Dispelling myths of alternative media and their users as either amateur journalists or political activists Cushion reveals distinctive content with increasingly professionalised processes used by critical news consumers with diverse media diets. Crucial reading for those seeking to understand ‘alternative’ media and politics.' Professor Natalie Fenton, Goldsmiths, University of London.'By delving into the mainstreaming of alternative online political media, this book offers a nuanced understanding of their impact on contemporary politics and journalism. Cushion's rigorous empirical research, including content analysis, interviews, and surveys, provides a solid foundation for his arguments. This work challenges the traditional categorization of alternative media and sheds light on the diverse perspectives and ideologies that these platforms now encompass. It is a thought-provoking and thoughtfully executed study that will undoubtedly shape future scholarly discussions in the field'.
