Peter Lang Publishing Inc Radio Cultures
Book SynopsisRadio Cultures examines the manifold ways in which radio has influenced the nation's social and cultural environment since its inception nearly a century ago. Written by leading scholars in the field, chapters address a wide range of topics, including how this powerful medium has impacted and affected non-mainstream segments of the population throughout its history and how these repressed and neglected groups have employed radio to counter and overcome discrimination and bias. The use of the audio medium for political, economic, and religious purposes is comprehensively probed and analyzed in this insightful and innovative volume.Trade Review«A giant among radio scholars, Michael C.

Even strong speakers at ease in front of any crowd will likely pick up some useful pointers from this book. ...the book remains a very useful, practical guide. Your palms may still get a bit sweaty, but with J ohnson and Hunter's advice, your speech and gestures should be much more fluid, your audience more appreciative." --Susan Azyndar, American Association of Law Libraries, Spectrum Blo"This book offers many practical suggestions for improving our speaking styles...As members of a service profession, our clients pay for our time, intellect and skills.

How-to books litter the library shelves, but The Articulate Attorney provides something special. The book presents specifics, techniques and practice pointers to improve speaking, specifically for the legal profession. Published by Crown King Books, it would be a valuable resource for experienced and new attorneys." --Suzanne Dohrer, Esq., Maricopa Lawyer"The Articulate Attorney in an invaluable resource that offers practical advice for lawyers who want to improve their communications skills. The book illustrations demonstrate the most effective ways to convey informati on for optimal results.

With extensive background information on the global film industry, and on auteur theory and its implications for ideological critique, this book's insightful case studies examine both ideologies the filmmakers re-circulate and ideologies that they confront in textual form. The discussion of Pedro Almodóvar devotes particular attention to mass mediation, the family, and gender in the corpus of his films, while Lars von Trier's corpus is interpreted as driven by a motif that characterizes all of his films: the failed idealist.

Pinar's notion of autobiography from an individual to a national scale, this book takes the reader on an inner journey to explore the fragmented condition of the post-9/11 American national psyche. It excavates the many layers of the emerging social context within which multiple, conflicting national narratives of identity compete, and uses notions of democracy, nation, and citizen as signposts of contested terrain inside a troubled nation. While reminding us that the old, enduring questions remain unresolved, the book identifies and grapples with new questions that are central to emergent visions of educating for democracy' in contemporary America, situated now within a frenetic post-9/11 world.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Fight the Power The Spike Lee Reader
Book SynopsisShelton Jackson Spike Lee is one of the most culturally influential and provocative film directors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Bringing together seminal writings from classic scholarship to new research this book focuses on this revolutionary film auteur and cultural provocateur to explore contemporary questions around issues of race, politics, sexuality, gender roles, filmmaking, commercialism, celebrity, and the role of media in public discourse. Situating Lee as an important contributor to a variety of American discourses, the book highlights his commitment to exploring issues of relevance to the Black community. His work demands that his audiences take inventory of his and their understandings of the complexities of race relations, the often deleterious influence of media messages, the long term legacy of racism, the liberating effects of sexual freedom, the controversies that arise from colorism, the separatist nature of classism, and the cultural contributiTrade Review«This book is a solid contribution to the body of work about African Americans and popular culture, with a rich mine of information for scholars of mass media and of intergroup relations.» (Jannette L. Dates, Howard University) «This volume presents an intelligent, rigorous, and comprehensive collection of scholarship that examines Spike Lee’s work. It leaves little untouched. Sexuality, colorism, film music scores, art and set design, the intersection of his personal life with his professional craft, and even a Foreword from Lee himself; it is all here. All of this scholarship carefully deconstructs one of the nation’s most provocative cultural contributors.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Die Tryin
Book SynopsisDie Tryin' traces the cultural connections between videogames, masculinity, and digital culture. It fuses feminist, psychoanalytic, Marxist, and poststructuralist theory to analyze the social imaginary that is produced by and produces a particular form of masculinity: boyhood. The author asserts that digital culture is a culturally and historically situated series of practices, products, and performances, all coalescing to produce a real and imagined masculinity that exists in perpetual adolescence, and is reflective of larger masculine edifices at work in politics and culture. Thus, videogames form the central object of study as consumer technologies of control and anxiety as well as possibility and subversion. Moving away from current games research, the book favors a game-specific approach that unites visual culture, cultural studies, and performance studies, instead of a sociological/structural inspection of the form.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc The EU Expansion
Book SynopsisThe EU Expansion analyzes the communication strategies of candidates and parties in the 2004 European Parliamentary elections. These elections marked the first opportunity for the selection of representatives to the enlarged European Parliament.

Research and analysis from both longstanding EU nations and those entering for the first time are provided. Chapters focus on the background and significance of the elections; the content of the party and candidate communications in representative countries; news media coverage of the elections; the effects of these communications on voters; and the unique perspectives of how the elections were covered an

Book SynopsisThis book provides a practical and theoretical look at how media education can make learning and teaching more meaningful and transformative. It explores the theoretical underpinnings of critical media literacy and analyzes a case study involving an elementary school that received a federal grant to integrate media literacy and the arts into the curriculum. The ideas and experiences of working teachers are analyzed through a critical media literacy framework that provides realistic challenges and hopeful examples and suggestions.

Why not?! With television and Internet content shaping how children see their world and themselves, Jeff Share argues ‘the earlier the better’. This book makes a compelling case for helping our youngest students analyze and create media. Taking up the tools – cameras, computers, pens, and pencils – in their own hands, children begin to participate in the discourse of democracy. Most importantly, they learn that they belong.» (Carol Jago, Vice President of the National Council of Teachers of English; Director of the California Reading and Literature Project at UCLA) «Media literacy needs to be understood as a fundamental component of any well-rounded educational curriculum in the twenty-first century. In this groundbreaking work, Jeff Share argues persuasively that it is never too early to help young children learn the skills they need to make sense of the media culture in which they’re already immersed. Quite simply, this book should be required reading for all elementary educators, administrators, educational policy makers, and parents too.» (Jackson Katz, Creator of the educational video ‘Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity’)«Not teaching critical media literacy to your first graders?

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Entertaining Fear
Book SynopsisThroughout the political spectrum, successful arguments often rely on fear appeals, whether implicit or explicit. Dominant arguments prey on people's fears of economic failure, cultural backwardness, or lack of personal safety. Counterarguments feed on other fears, suggesting that audiences are being duped by emotional smokescreens. With chapters on the political, institutional, and cultural manifestations of fear, this book offers diverse investigations into how insecurity and the search for certainty shape contemporary political economic decisions, and explores how the rhetorical manipulation of such fears illuminates a larger struggle for social control.Table of ContentsContents: M.J.

Book SynopsisDrawing from interviews with Internet researchers from across the globe who work in diverse disciplines and in a wide array of online venues, this book examines ethical issues and questions that Internet researchers may encounter throughout the research process.
