David Bowie and Transmedia Stardom

David Bowie and Transmedia Stardom

Addressing the interart intertextual and intermedial dimensions of David Bowie’s sonic and visual legacy this book considers more than five decades of a career invested with a star’s luminosity that shines well beyond the remit of pop music. The book approaches the idea of the star David Bowie as a medium in transit undergoing constant movement and change. Within the context of celebrity studies the concept of stardom provides an appropriate frame for an examination of Bowie’s transmedial activity especially given his ongoing iconic signification within the celestial realm. While Bowie has traversed many mediums he has also been described as a medium which is consistent with the way he has described himself. With contributions from a wide range of disciplinary areas and countries each chapter brings a fresh perspective on the concept of stardom and the conceptual significance of the terms ‘mediation’ and ‘navigation’ as they relate to Bowie and his career. Containing a multitude of different approaches to the stardom and mediation of David Bowie this book will be of interest to those studying celebrity audio and visual legacy and the relationships between different forms of media. It was originally published as a special issue of Celebrity Studies. | David Bowie and Transmedia Stardom

David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

David Martin is a pioneer of a political sociology of religion that integrates a combined analysis of nationalism and political religions with the history of religion. He was one of the first critics of the so-called secularization thesis and his historical orientation makes him one of the few outstanding scholars who have continued the work begun by Max Weber and Emile Durkheim. This collection provides the first scholarly overview of his hugely influential work and includes a chapter written by David Martin himself. Starting with an introduction that contextualises David Martin’s theories on the sociology of religion both currently and historically this volume aims to cover David Martin’s lifework in its entirety. An international panel of contributors sheds new light on his studies of particular geographical areas (Britain Latin America Scandinavia) and on certain systematic fields (secularization violence music Pentecostalism the relation between sociology and theology). David Martin’s concluding chapter addresses the critical points raised in response to his theories. This book addresses one of the key figures in the development of the sociology of religion and as such it will be of great interest to all scholars of the sociology of religion. | David Martin and the Sociology of Religion

Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer in the 1960s

Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer in the 1960s

This book undertakes a critical reappraisal of Minimalism through an examination of three key painters: Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer. By establishing their substantive engagements with Minimalist discourse as well as their often overlooked artistic exchanges with their sculptor peers it demonstrates that painting crucially informed the movement’s development serving not only as an object of critique but also as a crucible for its most central tenets. It also poses broader disciplinary implications as it historicizes and challenges Minimalism’s death of painting critiques that have been so influential to theories of modernism and postmodernism in the visual arts. | Abstract Painting and the Minimalist Critiques Robert Mangold David Novros and Jo Baer in the 1960s

David Foster Wallace and the Body

David Foster Wallace and the Body

David Foster Wallace and the Body is the first full-length study to focus on Wallace’s career-long fascination with the human body and the textual representation of the body. The book provides engaging accessible close readings that highlight the importance of the overlooked and yet central theme of all of this major American author’s works: having a body. Wallace repeatedly made clear that good fiction is about what it means to be a ‘human being’. A large part of what that means is having a body and being conscious of the conflicts that arise morally and physically as a result; a fact with which as Wallace forcefully and convincingly argues we all desire ‘to be reconciled’. Given the ubiquity of the themes of embodiment in Wallace’s work this study is an important addition to an expanding field. The book also opens up the themes addressed to interrogate aspects of contemporary literature culture and society more generally placing Wallace’s works in the history of literary and philosophical engagements with the brute fact of embodiment.

The Power of the Mayor David Dinkins: 1990-1993

The Power of the Mayor David Dinkins: 1990-1993

Chris McNickle argues that New York City Mayor David Dinkins failed to wield the power of the mayor with the skill required to run the city. His Tammany clubhouse heritage and liberal political philosophy made him the wrong man for the time. His deliberate style of decision-making left the government he led lacking in direction. His courtly demeanor and formal personal style alienated him from the people he served while the multi-racial coalition he forged as New York's first African-American mayor weakened over time. Dinkins did have a number of successes. He balanced four budgets and avoided a fiscal takeover by the unelected New York State Financial Control Board. Major crime dropped 14 percent and murders fell by more than 12 percent. Dinkins helped initiate important structural changes to the ungovernable school system he inherited. His administration reconfigured health care for the poor and improved access to medical treatment for impoverished New Yorkers. McNickle argues that David Dinkins has received less credit than he is due for his successes because they were overshadowed by his failure to fulfill his promise to guide the city to racial harmony. This stimulating review of a transitional period in New York City's history offers perspective on what it takes to lead and govern. | The Power of the Mayor David Dinkins: 1990-1993
