(H/B) SUICIDE IN PALESTINE
NARRATIVES OF DESPAIR
Εκδότης: HURST
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0948-0056

This book is the first anthropological study of suicide in the Arab world today. It discusses the effects of life under Israeli occupation on the mental health of young Palestinians, using selected case studies of men and women who have attempted suicide in the West Bank, above all in the city of Ramallah, but also in Jenin. The book is not about martyrs, or those who gain so much media attention by dying for a 'holy cause'; rather it concerns those who wish to die for entirely private reasons. Contrary to what might be expected, fatal sui...

(P/B) AFTER METHOD
MESS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH
Εκδότης: ROUTLEDGE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3707-0688

John Law argues that methods don't just describe social realities but are also involved in creating them. The implications of this argument are highly significant. If this is the case, methods are always political, and it raises the question of what kinds of social realities we want to create. Most current methods look for clarity and precision. It is usually said that only poor research produces messy findings, and the idea that things in the world might be fluid, elusive, or multiple is unthinkable. Law's startling argument is that this ...

(P/B) DISSECTING THE SOCIAL
ON THE PRINCIPLES OF ANALYTICAL SOCIOLOGY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3933-0511

Over the past few decades serious reservations have been expressed about the explanatory power of sociological theory and research. In this important book, leading social theorist Peter Hedstroem outlines the foundations of an analytically oriented sociology that seeks to address this criticism. Building on his earlier influential contributions to contemporary debates, Professor Hedstroem argues for a systematic development of sociological theory so that it has the explanatory power and precision to inform sociological research and underst...

During these months I was extremely fortunate to receive help and support from a number of people, all of whom provided care, concern and extraordinary kindness. My thanks, therefore, to John Baldock, David Boothroyd, John and Jean Buss, Sarah Carter, Rosemary Crompton, Hugh and Diane Cunningham, Kathy Davis, Richard de Friend, Martha and James Davis, Rod Edmond, Barbara Einhorn, Frank Furedi, Sarah Harman, Jill Hemmings, John Jervis, Terry Lovell, Pat Macpherson, Tra...

(H/B) WOMEN AS SITES OF CULTURE
WOMEN'S ROLES IN CULTURAL FORMATION FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO THE 20TH CENTURY
Εκδότης: ASHGATE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0108

Exploring the ways in which women have formed and defined expressions of culture in a range of geographical, political, and historical settings, this collection of essays examines women's figurative and literal roles as 'sites' of culture from the 16th century to the present day. The diversity of chronological, geographical and cultural subjects investigated by the contributors - from the 16th century to the 20th, from Renaissance Italy to Puritan Boston to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to post-war Japan, from parliamentary politics t...

(P/B) SOCIAL DIFFERENCES AND DIVISIONS
Εκδότης: BLACKWELL
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0494-0141

This volume introduces students to the main forms of social division and difference that characterise contemporary societies. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the UK and US, the authors consider a series of challenging questions relating to the primary divisions of class, gender, 'race' and ethnicity. Unusually, they also address differences relating to place, particularly inequalities in housing and education, reviewing them in the innovative context of current debates about citizenship and social justice.Although each chapter con...

(P/B) HOMOCONS
THE RISE OF THE GAY RIGHTS
Εκδότης: VERSO BOOKS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0627-0028

This book is written for two kinds of reader: straight people who know little about the queer community, and gay people who know even less about the progressive tradition. I hope other people will read this book as well, especially heterosexuals willing to acknowledge their anxieties about homosexuality. The full exploration of such feelings is a crucial step in gay liberation. But my main aim is to reach those who aren't aware of the rich connections between radical thought and queer sensibility. In fact, the gay community is one of the l...

STORIES, MYTHS, CHANTS, AND SONGS OF THE KUNA INDIANS (029270237X)
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0883-0025

The Kuna Indians of Panama, probably best known for molas, their colorful applique blouses, also have a rich literary tradition of oral stories and performances. One of the largest indigenous groups in the South American tropics, the majority of them (about 70,000) reside in Kuna Yala, a string of island and mainland villages stretching along the Caribbean coast. It is here that Joel Sherzer lived among them, photographing and recording their verbal performances, which he feels are representative of the beauty, complexity, and diversity of...

(H/B) A PASSION TO PRESERVE (0299196801)
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0884-0015

From large cities to rural communities, gay men have long been impassioned pioneers as keepers of culture: rescuing and restoring decrepit buildings, revitalizing blighted neighborhoods, saving artifacts and documents of historical significance. This penchant to preserve, though widely observed, is typically ignored or dismissed as a stereotypical gay cliche, even by many gay men themselves. Passion to Preserve explores this authentic and complex dimension of gay men's lives by profiling early and contemporary preservationists from through...

COMMUNICATION AND CYBERSPACE (H/B)
SOCIAL INTERACTION IN AN ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT
Εκδότης: HAMPTON PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0968-0004

The title of this book begins with the word communication because our primary concern is with the processes by which human beings create messages, transfer information, and make meanings; the ways in which individuals form relationships and create communities; and our capacity to construct identities and realities through discourse. Social interaction never takes place in a vacuum, however, and this anthology is devoted to the new communication contexts made possible by computer technologies. Again, our emphasis is on communication as it i...

THE NOBILITY AND EXCELLENCE OF WOMEN AND THE DEFECTS AND VICES OF MEN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0991-0067

A gifted poet, a women's rights activist, and an expert on moral and natural philosophy, Lucrezia Marinella (1571-1653) was known throughout Italy as the leading female intellectual of her age. Born into a family of Venetian physicians, she was encouraged to study, and, fortunately, she did not share the fate of many of her female contemporaries, who were forced to join convents or were pressured to marry early. Marinella enjoyed a long literary career, writing mainly religious, epic, and pastoral poetry, and biographies of famous women in...

WHETHER A CHRISTIAN WOMAN SHOULD BE EDUCATED AND OTHER WRITINGS FROM HER INTELLECTUAL CIRCLE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0991-0068

Advocate and exemplar of women's education, female of aristocratic birth and modest demeanor, Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-1678) was one of Reformation Europe's most renowned writers defending women's intelligence. From her early teens, Schurman garnered recognition and admiration for her accomplishments in languages, philosophy, poetry, and painting. As an adult she actively engaged in written correspondence and debate with Europe's leading intellectuals. Nevertheless, Schurman refused to regard herself as an anomaly among women. A suppo...

GAY SUBURBIA AND THE GRAMMAR OF SOCIAL IDENTITY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0991-0087

What does it mean to be a gay man living in the suburbs? Do you identify primarily as gay, or suburban, or some combination of the two? For that matter, how does anyone decide what his or her identity is? In this first-ever ethnography of American gay suburbanites, Wayne H. Brekhus demonstrates that who one is depends at least in part on where and when one is. For many urban gay men, being homosexual is key to their identity because they live, work, and socialize in almost exclusively gay circles. Brekhus calls such men "lifestylers" or pe...

(H/B) INTIMATE FRIENDS
WOMEN WHO LOVED WOMEN, 1778-1928
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0991-0112

Intimate Women offers a fascinating look at the erotic friendships of educated English and American women over a 150-year period, culminating in the 1928 publication of The Well of Loneliness, Radclyffe Hall's scandalous novel of lesbian love. Martha Vicinus explores all-female communities, husband-wife couples, liaisons between younger and older women, female rakes, and mother-daughter affection. Women, she reveals, drew upon a rich religious vocabulary to describe elusive and complex erotic feelings. Vicinus also considers the nineteenth...
