  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of Global Populism

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis volume illustrates the diversity of populism globally. When seeking power, populists politicize issues, and point to problems that need to be addressed such as inequalities, the loss of national sovereignty to globalization, or the rule of unresponsive political elites. Yet their solutions tend to be problematic, simplistic, and in most instances, instead of leading to better forms of democracy, their outcomes are authoritarian. Populists use a playbook of concentrating power in the hands of the president, using the legal system instrumentally to punish critics, and attacking the media and civil society. Despite promising to empower the people, populists lead to processes of democratic erosion and even transform malfunctioning democracies into hybrid regimes.The Routledge Handbook of Global Populism provides instructors, students, and researchers with a thorough and systematic overview of the history and development of populism and analyzes the main debates. It isTrade Review"It broadens our view and provides rich material for a more empirically based debate on populism and, most of all, on the reasons for its development."Dirk Jörke, Professor of Political Theoy, TU Darmstadt, Germany"The Routledge Handbook of Global Populism by Carlos de la Torre is one the best anthologies I have read in recent years. The book has two major pluses. First, top-notch author have provided clearly written, well-argued, and engaging chapters with up-to-date bibliographies on the topic. These include authors such as Andrew Arato, Jean Cohen, Steven Levitsky, Kurt Weyland, Kenneth Roberts, Nadia Urbinati, Robert Barr, Kirk Hawkins, Benjamin Moffitt, Paul Blokker, and Federico Finchelstein. The second plus is the thematic scope of the contributions and the consideration of competing approaches. In addition to de la Torre’s general introduction and a coauthored afterword, the twenty-eight chapters deal with everything one would want to know about the phenomenon…In short, this book is a must read because of its scope and high scholarly level. It will be very useful for teachers seeking up-to-date articles on populism for their course syllabi, and it is a lifesaver for students preparing term papers and dissertations on the subject. I highly recommend it, and I am currently using it in an undergraduate course on political processes and in a graduate seminar on contemporary political theory."Benjamin Arditi, Professor of Politics, National University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico Table of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Regulating Audiovisual Services 4 Library of

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn recent years, the changing nature of audiovisual services has had a significant impact on regulatory policy and practice. The adoption of digital technology means that broadcasting, cable, satellite, the Internet and mobile telephony are converging, enabling each of them to deliver the same kinds of content and allowing users to exercise much greater choice over the kind of material that they receive and when they receive it. The essays examine the implications for regulatory design, asking whether there is still a role for traditional-style state controls, or whether other techniques, such as competition in the market and self-regulation, are more appropriate. They also explore how, in the digital era, structural issues of media ownership and control become problems of access and interconnection between services and how content regulation focuses more on problems raised by the interactions between providers and users, the relationship between freedom of information and technologiesTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Convergence and Regulation: New challenges for European multimedia policy: a German perspective, Wolfgang Hoffmann-Riem; Regulatory convergence?

  • Taylor & Francis Inc Design and Political Dissent

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book examines, through an interdisciplinary lens, the relationship between political dissent and processes of designing.In the past twenty years, theorists of social movements have noted a diversity of visual and performative manifestations taking place in protest, while the fields of design, broadly defined, have been characterized by a growing interest in activism. The book's premise stems from the recognition that material engagement and artifacts have the capacity to articulate political arguments or establish positions of disagreement. Its contributors look at a wide array of material practices generated by both professional and nonprofessional design actors around the globe, exploring case studies that vary from street protests and encampments to design pedagogy and community-empowerment projects.For students and scholars of design studies, urbanism, visual culture, politics, and social movements, this book opens up new perspectives on design and its place iTrade Review"... lively and timely... the volume is a welcome addition to the growing literature on design and politics. It will interest researchers and teachers of design as well as social life, while also being accessible, at least in part, to a more practice-oriented readership."--Design and Culture"Design and Political Dissent is a far-reaching and ambitious book not only in its intellectual and geographical scope, but also in its diversity of topics and formats."--Journal of Design HistoryTable of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisThis book reinterprets Wifredo Lamâs work with particular attention to its political implications, focusing on how these implications emerge from the artistâs critical engagement with 20th-century anthropology. Field work conducted in Cuba, including the witnessing of actual Afro-Cuban religious ritual ceremonies and information collected from informants, enhances the interpretive background against which we can construe the meanings of Lam's art. In the process, Claude Cernuschi argues that Lam hoped to fashion a new hybrid style to foster pride and dignity in the Afro-Cuban community, as well as counteract the acute racism of Cuban culture.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Chapter I: Picasso; Chapter II: Surrealism;Chapter III: Abstract Expressionism; Chapter IV: The Lévy-Bruhl/Lévi-Strauss Debate; Chapter V: Detotalization, Retotalization, and Atemporality; Chapter VI: Négritude; Chapter VII: Cuba

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Lets Agree to Disagree

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn an age defined by divisive discourse and disinformation, democracy hangs in the balance. Let's Agree to Disagree seeks to reverse these trends by fostering constructive dialogue through critical thinking and critical media literacy. This transformative text introduces readers to useful theories, powerful case studies, and easily adoptable strategies for becoming sharper critical thinkers, more effective communicators, and critically media literate citizens. Trade Review"I did not think we, as a society, could agree to disagree, which makes this book incredibly powerful - and incredibly needed in our divisive times. Higdon and Huff have provided both depth and breadth to multiple areas of our mediated world and in so doing have presented readers with a cogent and incredibly valuable text that will enable readers to learn about the mass media, themselves, and concrete ways to make change."Allison Butler, Senior Lecturer & Director of Undergraduate Advising, Director Media Literacy Certificate Program, Department of Communication, University of Massachusetts, Amherst"In the age of new and powerful tools of communication, democracy has become more fragile and vulnerable to attacks by right-wing forces. What is clear is that the tools of communication, culture, literacy and critical thinking are more crucial than ever in creating both informed citizens and maintaining a substantive democracy. Let’s Agree to Disagree is a brilliant and informative guide and analysis to the most defining features of what it means to create critically literate citizens, to enable how they might communicate constructively with each other, and what it means connect an informed public to critically engaged actions. Higdon and Huff provide a brilliant, crucial analysis of the dangers that democracy now faces; they provide an invaluable analysis of what it means to understand and engage the role of communication in fighting against the forces of civic illiteracy, and the role that citizens can play in engaging, understanding, and assessing how to think, engage, and act through an informed lens of critical thinking. Let’s Agree to Disagree is both a primer and an invaluable resource on misinformation, critical thinking, a disregard for the truth, and what is necessary to address the new and powerful forms of communication that now shape politics, power and mass consciousness. This is a book that should be read by anyone is believes that matters of literacy, truth, rationality, and civic courage are essential to fighting for a radical democracy."Henry Giroux, McMaster University Professor for Scholarship in the Public Interest, Paulo Freire Distinguished Scholar in Critical Pedagogy, at McMaster University "Let’s Agree to Disagree provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges, failures, and successes of communication and critical thinking for justice and democracy. Nolan Higdon and Mickey Huff have written an essential book for all educators because dialogue and critical reflection are the heart of progressive education. The better we learn to listen, question, and respond with compassion, empathy, and respect, the more likely we will build genuine relationships of caring and critical inquiry where authentic learning occurs and social justice thrives."

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The State and New Cinema in Contemporary India

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book examines the relationship between the newly independent Indian state and its New Cinema movement. It looks at state formative practices articulating themselves as cultural policy. It presents an institutional history of the Film Finance Corporation (FFC), later the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), and their patronage of the New Cinema in India, from the 1960s to the 1990s, bringing into focus an extraordinary but neglected cultural moment in Indian film history and in the history of contemporary India.The chapters not only document the artistic pursuit of cinema, but also the emergence of a larger field where the market, political inclinations of the Indian state, and the more complex determinants of culture intersect how the New Cinema movement faced external challenges from the industrial lobby and politicians, as well as experienced deep rifts from within. It also shows how the Emergency, the Janata Party regime, economic liberalization, and the opeTrade Review“The author presents the story of a chronological development, not losing sight of the importance of facts and individual actors in the process even as she builds her argument on the relationship between policy, industry, and cultural production in independent India. The picture that emerges through the chapters is not only of cinema, or the artistic pursuit of cinema, but of a larger field where the market, political inclinations of the Indian state, and the more complex determinants of culture intersect. This is by far the most thorough study of the Indian New Cinema.” — Moinak Biswas, Professor & Head, Department of Film Studies, Coordinator, The Media Lab, Jadavpur University.“Dr. Tiwari takes a subject that looks dry as dust, the working of two government run film finance corporations but uses the material to illuminate the linkages to the New Cinema of the mid 1970s on. Even those familiar with many of the sensitive and well-crafted films of the time will be surprised by her findings. In the process, this book opens up new vistas in looking at films, the creative arts of storytelling and narrative at a critical stage of independent India’s journey from the days of the Emergency (1975-77) to the mid-1990s when the process of liberalisation gathered pace. Film finance as a mirror to society and much more than that: a fine monograph at debut.” — Mahesh Ranagarajan, Professor of History and Environmental Studies, Ashoka University, Haryana, India.“Dr. Tiwari has provided a fascinating institutional history of India’s New Cinema movement. The first book of its kind, it examines the Film Finance Corporation (FFC)/National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) over a period of 50 years. It brings together film history and cultural policy studies to reflect on an important Indian public and intellectual institution. In doing so, this becomes a fine collection of historical research, probing through varied archives and debates, offering us invaluable insights into the landscape of New Cinema across government, bureaucrats, financiers, film makers, technicians, film critics, and those who watched the films. Such original and accomplished scholarship is not only welcomed, it is to be celebrated too.” — Rajinder Dudrah, Professor of Cultural Studies and Creative Industries, Birmingham City University, UK.“This book is a rigorous, robust, and dexterously researched history of the most powerful film funding bureaucracy in postcolonial India - the National Film Development Corporation. Tiwari assiduously excavates numerous archives to meticulously show the intricate linkages and network between Indian postcolonial state, film industry, filmmakers, journalists, bureaucrats in the making of a complex landscape which gave birth to the influential Indian New Wave. This book adroitly sutures historiography and cultural studies to give us an astute insight hitherto unseen in the discipline of Indian film studies.” — Ashish Avikunthak, Professor of Film Media, University of Rhode Island.“Sudha Tiwari’s uniqueness is in straddling the difficult-to-access archival materials and the rare (cinema) journals of the period to shed light on the aspirations and critique of cinema surrounding NFDC as a state apparatus, dependent on public money and driven by the “progressive” posture/impulse of the people in power, as well as a space for the intricate intervention of cinema as a sociocultural art form where marginalized voices could be foregrounded. Sudha’s meticulously researched and compelling book sheds light on the challenges of writing institutional histories in the Indian context and the creative possibilities inherent in filling up the lacuna in the material domain through alternative means.” — Swarnavel Eswaran, Associate Professor, Dept. of English and the School of Journalism, Michigan State University.“A textured, penetrating and streamlined study of an important stage in the evolutionary transformation of the FFC into the NFDC, providing a revealing insight into the NFDC’s synergies with the new emerging Indian postcolonial film landscape.” — Ashvin Devasundaram, Senior Lecturer in World Cinema, School of Languages, Linguistics & Film, Queen Mary University of London.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Samuels' analysis explores the difference between contemporary centrists and the foundations of liberal democracy, exposing the myth of the liberal media and considers the consequences of these celebrated series, including the undermining of trust in modern liberal democratic institutions.
