Sociological Theory Beyond the Canon - Vineeta Sinha - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Sociological Theory Beyond the Canon - Vineeta Sinha - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book expands the sociological canon by introducing non-Western and female voices, and subjects the existing canon itself to critique. Including chapters on both the ‘founding fathers’ of sociology and neglected thinkers it highlights the biases of Eurocentrism and androcentrism, while also offering much-needed correctives to them. The authors challenge a dominant account of the development of sociological theory which would have us believe that it was only Western European and later North American white males in the nineteenth and early twentieth century who thought in a creative and systematic manner about the origins and nature of the emerging modernity of their time. This integrated and contextualised account seeks to restructure the ways in which we theorise the emergence of the classical sociological canon. This book’s global scope fills a significant lacuna and provides a unique teaching resource to students of classical sociological theory.

Dancing on the Canon - S. Dodds - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Dancing on the Canon - S. Dodds - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Dancing on the Canon, now available in paperback for the first time, explores the vexed relationship between popular dance and value. In a critique of the Western art canon, it traces the shifting value systems that underpin popular dance scholarship and considers how different dancing communities articulate multiple and often paradoxical expressions of judgment, significance and worth through their embodied practice. Employing a cultural theory approach, it focuses on the choreographic content of neo-burlesque striptease in London and New York, the dance styles of British punk, metal and ska fans, and the vernacular dances of a British-Caribbean dancehall to interrogate how value is produced, negotiated and re-imagined. Yet this is not to assume that they are autonomous values untouched by the social frameworks in which they exist. Rather, the corporeal enunciations of value constructed by those engaged in popular dance forms are informed by a complex matrix of aesthetic, economic, political and social values already in circulation.

Shakespeare's Drama of Exile - J. Kingsley Smith - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare's Drama of Exile - J. Kingsley Smith - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Exile defines the Shakespearean canon, from The Two Gentlemen of Verona to The Two Noble Kinsmen . This book traces the influences on the drama of exile, examining the legal context of banishment (pursued against Catholics, gypsies and vagabonds) in early modern England; the self-consciousness of exile as an amatory trope; and the discourses by which exile could be reshaped into comedy or tragedy. Across genres, Shakespeare''s plays reveal a fascination with exile as the source of linguistic crisis, shaped by the utterance of that word ''Banished''.
