Utopian Generations
The Political Horizon of Twentieth-Century Literature
AvNicholas Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2005
583 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Utopian Generations develops a powerful interpretive matrix for understanding world literature--one that renders modernism and postcolonial African literature comprehensible in a single framework, within which neither will ever look the same. African literature has commonly been seen as representationally naive vis-a-vis modernism, and canonical modernism as reactionary vis-a-vis postcolonial literature. What brings these two bodies of work together, argues Nicholas Brown, is their disposition toward Utopia or "the horizon of a radical reconfiguration of social relations." Grounded in a profound rethinking of the Hegelian Marxist tradition, this fluently written book takes as its point of departure the partial displacement during the twentieth century of capitalism's "internal limit" (classically conceived as the conflict between labor and capital) onto a geographic division of labor and wealth. Dispensing with whole genres of commonplace contemporary pieties, Brown examines works from both sides of this division to create a dialectical mapping of different modes of Utopian aesthetic practice.The theory of world literature developed in the introduction grounds the subtle and powerful readings at the heart of the book--focusing on works by James Joyce, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Ford Madox Ford, Chinua Achebe, Wyndham Lewis, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, and Pepetela. A final chapter, arguing that this literary dialectic has reached a point of exhaustion, suggests that a radically reconceived notion of musical practice may be required to discern the Utopian desire immanent in the products of contemporary culture.

Governing Prosperity
Social Change and Social Analysis in Australia in the 1950s
AvNicholas Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 1995
461 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
The 1950s' undeniable prosperity has become synonymous with conservatism, and inertia seen as its hallmark. This book offers a fresh and challenging interpretation of the 1950s in Australia. Nicholas Brown presents the decade as a time of great change, brought about by affluence. Society became increasingly complex, mass consumption reached new heights and Australia's role in the world and the region was re-cast. The book looks at the ways in which those overseeing society responded to these post-war changes; in short, how they governed prosperity. A history of ideas as well as cultural, intellectual and institutional history, Governing Prosperity is a major reassessment of the 1950s. It will be particularly important for its analysis of the significance of the decade in the development of Australian society.

Pierre Bourdieu
Fieldwork in Culture
AvNicholas Brown,Imre Szeman
Häftad, Engelska, 2000
817 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The work of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most influential French intellectuals of the twentieth century, has had an enormous impact on research in fields as diverse as aesthetics, education, anthropology, and sociology. Pierre Bourdieu: Fieldwork in Art, Literature, and Culture is the first collection of essays to focus specifically on the contribution of Bourdieu's thought to the study of cultural production. Though Bourdieu's own work has illuminated diverse cultural phenomena, the essays in this volume extend to new cultural forms and to national situations outside France. Far from simply applying Bourdieu's concepts and theoretical tools to these new contexts, the essays in this volume consider both the possibility and limits of Bourdieu's sociology for the study of culture.
A History of Canberra
AvNicholas Brown
Häftad, Engelska, 2014
448 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
Designed as an 'ideal city' and emblem of the nation, Canberra has long been a source of ambivalence for many Australians. In this charming and concise book, Nicholas Brown challenges these ideas and looks beyond the clichés to illuminate the unique, layered and often colourful history of Australia's capital. Brown covers Canberra's selection as the site of the national capital, the turbulent path of Walter Burley Griffin's plan for the city and the many phases of its construction. He surveys citizens' diverse experiences of the city, the impact of the Second World War on Canberra's growth and explores the city's political history with insight and wit. A History of Canberra is informed by the interplay of three themes central to Canberra's identity: government, community and environment. Canberra's distinctive social and cultural history as a centre for the public service and national institutions is vividly rendered.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume brings together works written by international theorists since the fall of the Berlin Wall, showing how today's crisis-ridden global capitalism is making Marxist theory more relevant and necessary than ever. This collection of key texts by prominent and lesser-known thinkers from Latin America, Asia, Africa, America, and Europe showcases an area of scholarly analysis whose impact on academic and popular discourses as well as political action will only grow in the coming years. It reflects today's sense of planetary eco-emergency and a heightened interest in political economy that follows discontentment with the growing inequalities in the West and the unequal nature of development in the "global South."The work is organized thematically, with sections covering the present historical conjuncture, the contemporary shapes of the social, philosophical concepts, theories of culture, and the status of the political today. This new formulation of the unity and nature of contemporary Marxist theory will be an invaluable resource to any humanities and social science student learning about social and political thought and theory.

Autonomy
The Social Ontology of Art Under Capitalism

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In Autonomy Nicholas Brown theorizes the historical and theoretical argument for art's autonomy from its acknowledged character as a commodity. Refusing the position that the distinction between art and the commodity has collapsed, Brown demonstrates how art can, in confronting its material determinations, suspend the logic of capital by demanding interpretive attention. He applies his readings of Marx, Hegel, Adorno, and Jameson to a range of literature, photography, music, television, and sculpture, from Cindy Sherman's photography and the novels of Ben Lerner and Jennifer Egan to The Wire and the music of the White Stripes. He demonstrates that through their attention and commitment to form, such artists turn aside the determination posed by the demand of the market, thereby defeating the foreclosure of meaning entailed in commodification. In so doing, he offers a new theory of art that prompts a rethinking of the relationship between art, critical theory, and capitalism.

Future of Totality
Fredric Jameson and the Prospects of Critical Theory
AvNicholas Brown,Maria Elisa Cevascom. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 920 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Following his death in 2024, Fredric Jameson’s vast body of work continues to challenge orthodoxies while retaining close ties to older critical and philosophical traditions, notably dialectical criticism, formal analysis, and utopian discourse. The Future of Totality brings together a selection of Jameson's former students and other prominent scholars thinking from Jameson, rather than writing on him, to represent future directions of Jamesonian thought in the tradition of dialectical criticism and cultural study. Through four sections reflecting and building on Jameson’s legacy, focusing on theory, critical reading of new forms, the reshaping of contemporary problematics, and new dimensions inspired by Jameson, The Future of Totality makes its own intervention about the continuity and innovation of Jameson’s contributions. Serving as both a tribute to the scholar and a space for thinking about the future of his work, these essays explore new and unforeseen dimensions to which Jameson’s work leads.

Läs direkt efter köp
Construction and engineering disputes arise from a multi-layered tangle of issues of fact that reflect the myriad challenges of getting a complex project built. This very welcome book by an internationally renowned practitioner in the field shows that resolving such disputes lies in managing and mastering this factual complexity with suitable rigour. Drawing on a rich career-long experience supported by comparative analysis of case law and institutional guidance, the author offers insights directly gained from work in a broad range of jurisdictions. He expertly identifies and frames issues that genuinely determine outcomes, reducing distraction and inefficiency, in disputes arising in various contexts, including the following: the tender process; non-payment; unforeseeable events and circumstances; programming issues related to delayed works; disruption and productivity losses; and defective work or materials. Numerous visual aids and practical illustrations are provided, along with adaptable templates and procedural models designed for use throughout an arbitration. These address cost and complexity through proportionate, structured approaches to managing arbitration procedure and maintaining equality and procedural fairness. With its clear taxonomy of factual, legal, and expert issues as the foundation of sound arbitral decision-making, this book helps practitioners to focus on the true points in dispute, in the process embracing innovation, suitably robust case management, and cost control. It is a veritable goldmine of practical guidance for arbitrators, counsel, expert witnesses, and the business users of arbitral services worldwide, and indeed for anyone interested in mitigating the escalating costs and procedural challenges besetting commercial arbitral practice today.
