Duke University Press Storytelling Globalization from the Chaco and
Book SynopsisAn ethnography exploring the encounter between modernizing visions of development, the place-based life projects of the Yshiro indigenous people of the Paraguayan Chaco, and the agendas of scholars and activists.Trade Review“This is an important contribution to anthropological efforts to go beyond critical analysis of development towards a deeper understanding of such projects.” - John Gledhill, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute“With a sensitivity to the political nature of the politics of representation, the author passionately argues for a dialogue of knowledge in order to make visible the “anomalies” experienced by Yshiro-Ebitoso communities in Paraguay since 1986, and the political consequences from development interventions beyond the Chaco.” - Alberto Arce, The Americas“A timely contribution to the ethnographic record of Indigenous peoples of the Americas, this book … about the Yshiro, also known as Chamacoco, of the Alto Paraguay Chaco constitutes an innovative anti-totalizing text inspired by border theory and postwestern thought... The book strengthens studies on Native American Societies, specifically the stunning resilience of South American Indians, complementing an experience of survival with other socionatures around the world.” - Guillermo Delgado-P., The Canadian Journal of Native Studies“Storytelling Globalization: From the Chaco and Beyond is a creative—and to some lengths courageous—attempt to demonstrate a different kind of ethnography. . . . Blaser is attempting to tell stories of globalization from and with the Yshiro, and the result will prove an important model for practitioners interested in producing knowledge that in a nonreductive register.” - Jeremy M. Campbell, American Anthropologist“Storytelling Globalization from the Chaco and Beyond is an anthropological tour de force with strong philosophical, political, epistemic, and ontological implications. Mario Blaser shifts the geopolitics of knowing and reasoning by looking at globalization not only from the south but also and mainly through the eyes of those who endure its consequences. In the narratives Blaser presents, border thinking takes on new dimensions and is shown to be an essential aspect of de-colonial thought. Notions about ‘objectivity’ and ‘universal truth’ necessarily give way to a recognition of ontological diversity.”—Walter D. Mignolo, author of The Idea of Latin America“In this instructive and original work, modernity and the drama of globalization offer a historical horizon in relation to which both the activity of the anthropologist and the problems faced by the Yshiro communities in Paraguay are explored. Border dialogue (perhaps even border anthropology) is born precisely in the encounter between modern globalizing tendencies and the opening up of a different global imaginary, one rooted in the reality of there being many epistemic and social worlds.”—Nelson Maldonado-Torres, author of Against War: Views from the Underside of Modernity“Mario Blaser’s talented and deeply insightful storytelling opens up paths into the transition from modernity to globality. Storytelling Globalization from the Chaco and Beyond is a work of depth, scholarship, and hopefulness. Blaser’s years of learning and collaborating with the Yshiro people of the Paraguayan Chaco have pressed him to ask questions that destabilize much of the taken-for-granted knowledge of the Euromodern academy. With his research interlocutor Don Veneto Vera to prod him into dialogical investigations of relational ontologies in the pluriverse, Blaser brings us, the readers, into places where incisiveness, analysis, and passionate commitment converge. This book demonstrates and enacts the power of strong stories: to change our understandings, to open other worlds, to give us untamed glimpses of substantive alternatives for life on Earth.”—Deborah Bird Rose, author of Reports from a Wild Country: Ethics for Decolonisation“When ‘the rest’ meets ‘the West,’ are the modern stories enough? In this deeply disturbing and thought-provoking book, Mario Blaser shows that for the marginalized and exploited, the world is storied and materialized quite differently. Forced to recognize that hegemonic Western knowledges, institutions, and worlds deny those realities, Blaser tells a destabilizing but ultimately affirmative story that is simultaneously analytical, political, and ontological. This superb book will be compulsory reading for all students of anthropology, development studies, postcolonialism, and science and technology studies.”—John Law, author of After Method: Mess in Social Science Research“Storytelling Globalization: From the Chaco and Beyond is a creative—and to some lengths courageous—attempt to demonstrate a different kind of ethnography. . . . Blaser is attempting to tell stories of globalization from and with the Yshiro, and the result will prove an important model for practitioners interested in producing knowledge that in a nonreductive register.” -- Jeremy M.

Ohio University Press Authentically African Arts and the Transnational
Book SynopsisTogether, the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium, and the Institut des Musées Nationaux du Zaire (IMNZ) in the Congo have defined and marketed Congolese art and culture.Trade Review“This masterful study of Belgian and Congolese collecting and exhibitions of African arts, and the murky heritage politics so implied, offers insights for understanding colonial and postcolonial histories of representation anywhere in the world.”“Authentically African successfully shows how colonial tensions between politics and creativity left their imprint on colonial as well as on postcolonial Congo… this book remains a necessary introduction to some key chapters in the rich and complex entrance of arts premiers into world cultural histories.” * American Historical Review *“This is an important book that fills a gap in our knowledge about museums in this geographical area as well as our understanding of the role of political ideologies, a topic which has been well covered in South Africa, for example, but not as much by scholars in other parts of sub-Saharan Africa. … An impressive analysis.” * Museum Anthropology Review *“This well-informed book is the result of a careful inquiry carried out ‘on the spot’ in Congo, Belgium, and North America. … Authentically African successfully shows how colonial tensions between politics and creativity left their imprint on colonial as well as on postcolonial Congo. … This book remains a necessary introduction to some key chapters in the rich and complex entrance of arts premiers into world cultural histories.” * American Historical Review *“[An] impressive exploration of how and postcolonial powers in former Zaire utilized ‘cultural guardianship’ to justify their political legitimacy and to establish cultural and political economies nationally and internationally.” * African Studies Quarterly *“Authentically African is an impressively researched study of material culture and its institutions in the construction of Congolese cultural and political projects. Van Beurden’s fascinating examination of objects and collections in cultural and political economies makes a significant contribution to several bodies of scholarship, from those focused on material culture, heritage, and identity politics to those concerned with African cultural institutions as part of the global landscape.”

Duke University Press A Decade of Negative Thinking
Book SynopsisFeatures writings on contemporary art and culture by the author, a painter and feminist art theorist. Mixing theory and practice, the personal and the political, this book tackles questions about the place of feminism in art and political discourse, and the aesthetics and values of contemporary painting.Trade Review“Mira Schor reminds us that some of the best, and most eye-opening, writing on art has always been made by artists themselves. The essays in A Decade of Negative Thinking demolish countless widely held assumptions about contemporary art, and do so with a compelling blend of skepticism and passion.”—Raphael Rubinstein, author of Polychrome Profusion: Selected Art Criticism, 1990–2002“This collection of essays by one of the most engaging writers of contemporary art critically excavates and redefines the enduring questions in aesthetics and politics with extraordinary verve and urgency.”—Gunalan Nadarajan, Vice Provost for Research, Maryland Institute College of Art"An excellent new book. . . .” -- Holland Cotter * New York Times *“Witty and lucid, showing that she’s a believer in art’s power, despite all the naysaying.” -- David O’Neill * Bookforum *“Schor is both an artist and a writer, maybe the perfect person to consider in this search for uncorrupt, valuable criticism. In her excellent book A Decade of Negative Thinking, she describes anonymous online commenting as the worst possible type of criticism, because it almost always falls into what she calls the ‘sucks/bullshit’ mode. (Ah, yup.) If you're looking for the opposite of that, pick up the book.” -- Jen Graves * The Stranger *“Schor stakes out her own distinctive critical territory at the intersections of imagination and practice, concept and craft, anger and hope, humor and gravity. . . . It’s refreshing to accompany Schor as she look sat and opines on the state of culture. As she concludes in the book’s final essay, two qualities an artist can use to escape the trap of recipe art are ‘necessity , and having something to say with an investment in the formal means you use to say it.’ Schor has both.” -- Kathleen Rooney * Bitch *“The essays collected in A Decade of Negative Thinking present lucid, highly engaged and engaging reflections on the politics, rhetoric and political economy of artistic practice.” -- Matt Davies * Visual Studies *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Part 1:She Said, She Said: Feminist Debates, 1971–2009 The ism that dare not speak its name Anonymity as a Political Tactic: Art Blogs, Feminism, Writing, and Politics Generation 2.5 Email to a Young Woman Artist The Womanhouse Films Miss Elizabeth Bennett Goes to Feminist Boot Camp Part 2:Painting Some Notes on Women and Abstraction and a Curious Case History: Alice Neel as a Great Abstract Painter Like a Veneer Modest Painting Blurring Richter Off the Grid: Weather Conditions in Lower Manhattan, September 11, 2001 to October 2, 2001 Part 3:Trite Tropes Trite Tropes, Clichés, or the Persistence of Styles Recipe Art Work and Play New Tales of Scheherazade Appendix: Work document: Grey Notes Bibliography Index

Duke University Press Impersonal Passion
Book SynopsisA collection of essays on the everyday workings of language and how language shapes our social and political existence.Trade Review“Denise Riley writes a poet’s prose, and her theoretical originality more than matches the engaging quality of her writing. She breathes life into the claim that the ‘I’ is an effect of language and draws her reader in both for the sake of her brilliant unpacking of existential idioms and for her renewal of the theoretical questions of where and how language locates us and how and with what effect we can relocate ourselves.”—Ellen Rooney, Brown University“Denise Riley’s splendor as a writer is unclassifiable: she is language philosopher, phenomenologist, poet, feminist theorist, and cultural critic all bound into one. In addition to the gorgeous thinking and language, Impersonal Passion offers singular takes on common conundrums that most of us don’t think deeply about let alone get to the bottom of. This book is a rarity: a work of philosophy that one can’t put down.”—Wendy Brown, University of California, BerkeleyTable of ContentsAcknowledgments vii Introduction 1 1. Malediction 9 2.

Duke University Press The Economization of Life
Book SynopsisMichelle Murphy examines the ways in which efforts at population control since World War II have tied reproduction to neoliberal capitalism, showing how data collection practices have been used to quantify the value of a human life in terms of its ability to improve the nation-state's gross domestic product.Trade Review"Though this book be concise, it is fierce. It can be read, and reread, with profit by undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers. Highly recommended." -- T. E. Sullivan * Choice *"The Economization of Life convincingly links experimentality to what has been one of the most popular developmental trends of the past two decades. . . . Michelle Murphy’s bold and sharp book opens many new lines of inquiries." -- Stephen Macekura * Diplomatic History *"This is a valuable book that should be read by anyone who is interested in the mid-twentieth-century population control movement, including its history and socioeconomic context, or anyone who still adheres to the neoliberal view that population growth (or 'overpopulation,' as it is often called) has been and continues to be one of the greatest problems facing human society." -- Garland E. Allen * Isis *"Murphy weaves helpful threads of history, literature, and economics, guides the reader through complicated ideas, and leaves enough notes so research can continue beyond the book’s borders. . . . The Economization of Life is a useful and an instructive tool for policy makers and researchers on population and reproductive health, and for scholars and students in gender, women, and sexuality studies, or anyone who may be concerned with matters of reproductive rights." -- Kira Frank * Wagadu *"It takes a study as rigorous as Murphy’s to expose the double-edged nature of human capital: galvanizing self-improvement of, and popular support for, underprivileged populations, even as it does so according to metrics that have investor interests—rather than general well-being—as their goal." -- Hadas Weiss * Public Books *"The Economization of Life is a book that sticks. Author Michelle Murphy delicately surfaces the history and persistence of racist and eugenicist logics as they comprise global economies and state governance practices, and, in a bold and self-reflexive gesture, describes how these same logics operate in feminist organizations and academic research. Murphy's work forced me to grapple with unresolvable tensions, particularly between long term liberation and short term survival, which were simultaneously troubling and eye-opening. I can see these now in places where they used to be hidden." -- Lourdes Vera * Somatosphere *"The Economization of Life gives us important tools to bring the work of reproductive justice from the world of feminist social justice organizing to the world of feminist scholarship. It shows us that the economy is an effect that materializes its own causes, supported by a structure of belief that holds together otherwise disparate data and calculations. With enough effort, it urges us, we should be able to divest from that enabling belief, and instead follow models for a regenerative politics, committing instead to reproductive justice as an infrastructure of regeneration." -- Kalindi Vora * Somatosphere *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments vii Introduction.

University of Toronto Press Empire and Communications
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1950, Harold A. Innis’s Empire and Communications is considered to be one of the classic works in media studies, yet its origins have received little attention. Ambitious in its scope, the book spans five millennia, tracing a path of development around the globe from 2900 BCE to the twentieth century and revealing the cyclical interplay between communications and power structures across space and time. In this new edition, William J. Buxton pays close attention to handwritten glosses that Innis added to a copy of the original edition and the revisions undertaken by his widow, Mary Q. Innis. A new introduction provides a detailed account of how the book emerged from lectures that Innis delivered at Oxford University in 1948, as well as how it related to other presentations Innis made in Britain during the same period. It explores how Innis sought to enrich his analysis by incorporating material related to phenomena such as war, education, Table of ContentsIntroduction to Empire and Communications William J.

New York University Press Anxious Parents A History of Modern Childrearing
Book SynopsisThe nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw a dramatic shift in the role of children in American society and families. No longer necessary for labor, children became economic liabilities. What caused this shift in the ways parenting and childhood were experienced and perceived? The author explains this phenomenon.Trade Review"A strong, effective, and readable portrayal of how twentieth-century American parents have invested and over-invested in their children. In a fairly short compass, Stearns has demonstrated many of the things that historians have tended to belabor-the role of expertise, why despite their declining numbers, children have become so important socially, the new realm of consumption, how the anxiety about children has become a central matter in twentieth-century culture and even an identifier of American life. Stearns knows what is going on and that children are not a means to express other anxieties, but the very source of many of the anxieties we express." -- Paula S. Fass,University of California, Berkeley"Anxiety is the hallmark of contemporary parenting. Todays parents are tormented by fears of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, child abductions, and juvenile drug and alcohol use. In perhaps his most timely and exciting book, Peter N. Stearns explains with wit and humane insight how modern mothers and fathers came to agonize incessantly about children's personality development, school performance, and psychological well-being." -- Steven Mintz,University of Houston"In what is his trademark style, Stearns creates an artful synthesis that is both revelatory and captivating. An at times unsettling analysis of parental angst, the book is replete with worthy insights for historians and contemporary parents alike." * The Journal of American History *"Stearns points to a number of contemporary phenomena, each of which he considers an expression of parental anxiety. Steans appears to be particularly sensitive to the upward mobility of kids grades." * The New York Review of Books *"(Stearns) has a keen appreciation of what really mattered to 20th-century Americans, in their families and beyond. Indeed, it is his easy command of all that was going on outside the home- and his profound grasp of the connectedness of those larger developments and their consequences for childreaing - that sets his study apart from other histories of the modern American family." * Journal of Social History *"The book is more than a synthesis of existing scholarship. It is a compendium of ideas - some personal, mostly scholarly - about the experience of parenting in the United States since the beginning of the twentieth century. The book is imaginative and thought provoking." * History of Education Quarterly *Table of ContentsContentsPreface Acknowledgments 1 Anxious Parents: A 20th-Century History 2 The Vulnerable Child 3 Discipline 4 All Are above Average: Children at School 5 Work and Chores: Do I Have To? 6 I'm Bored: The Two Faces of Entertainment 7 Conclusion: The Impact of Anxiety Appendix Notes Index About the Author

New York University Press Autism and the Myth of the Person Alone
Book SynopsisThis book engages the perspectives of people with autism, including those who have been considered as the most severely disabled within the autism spectrum. The volume allows a look into the rich and insightful perspectives of people who have heretofore been thought of as uninterested in the world.Trade ReviewThe writings of Rubin, Mukhopadhyay, and all of the contributors are testament to the need to embrace a & disability consciousness in seeking educational and therapeutic options for autistic persons so that they can achieve their full potential. While Biklen refrains from extensive analysis of his contributors' words, his book is truly valuable in its straightforward presentation of the voices of autistic persons speaking not only for but as themselves. * Disability Studies Quarterly *Disagrees with the common picture of autism, presenting chapters written by those with autism themselvesincluding those considered most severely disabled within the world of autismto present a personalized view of how autism is experienced by those diagnosed. . . . A & must for any who understand the autistic experience. * Bookwatch *Austism and the Myth of the Person Alone is one of those rare professional books that causes one to pause and consider what it tells us about our literature, our field, and, perhaps, ourselves...Biklen has given us a fascinating, thoughtful and, most important, essential book by including insights, experiences, and perspectives of individuals with autism to add to the canon * American Association on Mental Retardation *Biklens tenacity is to be admired. * CHOICE *The prevailing view of autism and disability is redefined in this beautifully written book. Can you ask for more than to inform, inspire, challenge, and help to create new ways of understanding? Autism and the Myth of the Person Alone forces us to confront misunderstanding, misperceptions, and lack of knowledge, and to rethink disability and autism. It demands that we embrace people who act, communicate, and socialize differently.

Book SynopsisA title in which, the author personalizes the political and social changes in his country over the past few decades. By moving back and forth in time and focusing on small events and everyday people, it breathes life into Chinese history by describing the effects of larger-than-life events on the average citizen.Trade Review"In his novels and short stories, Mr. Mo paints sprawling, intricate portraits of Chinese rural life, often using flights of fancy-animal narrators, elements of fairy tales-that evoke the lyrical techniques of South American magical realists." -New York Times "Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition."-Nobel Committee for Literature "If China has a Kafka, it may be Mo Yan. Like Kafka, Yan has the ability to examine his society through a variety of lenses, creating fanciful, Metamorphosis-like transformations or evoking the numbing bureaucracy and casual cruelty of modern governments."-Publishers Weekly"

Book SynopsisThe brief, practical texts in the Essentials of Qualitative Methods series introduce social science and psychology researchers to key approaches toqualitative methods, offering exciting opportunities to gather in-depth qualitative data and to develop rich and useful findings. In this book, Ruthellen Josselson and Phillip L. Hammack introduce readers to Narrative Analysis, a qualitative method that investigates how people make meaning of their lives and experiences in both social and cultural contexts. This method offers researchers a window into how individuals'' stories are shaped by the categories they inhabit, such as gender, race, class, and sexual identity, and it preserves the voice of the individual through a close textual analysis of their storytelling.About the Essentials of Qualitative Methods book series: Even for experienced researchers, selecting and correctly applying the right method can be challenging.
