"Talkin' with Your Mouth Full" includes not only scripts of Fagin's works but critical responses to--and meditations on--a variety of his influential videos by a distinguished, if intriguingly disparate, group of artists and scholars. Combining elements of criticism with various modes of artistic expression, thes ..."

by Alan Nadel, Donald E. Pease, Duke University Press
Paperback, 352 Pages, Published 1995 by Duke University Press Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-1699-2, ISBN: 0-8223-1699-4

"Alan Nadel provides a unique analysis of the rise of American postmodernism by viewing it as a breakdown in Cold War cultural narratives of containment. These narratives, which embodied an American postwar foreign policy charged with checking the spread of Communism, also operated, Nadel argues, within a wide spectrum of cultural life in the United States to contain atomic secrets, sexual license, gender roles, nuclear energy, and artis ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-4780-0152-2, ISBN: 1-4780-0152-6

Focusing on the “Pink Tide” in eight national cases—Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, and Venezuela—the contributors evaluate how the Left addressed gender- and sexuality-based rights through the state.

In from the Cold
Latin America’s New Encounter with the Cold War (American Encounters/Global Interactions)
by Daniela Spenser, Gilbert M. Joseph, Contributor-Thomas Blanton, Duke University Press, Gilbert Michael Joseph
Hardcover, 456 Pages, Published 2008 by Duke University Press Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-4102-4, ISBN: 0-8223-4102-6

"Over the last decade, studies of the Cold War have mushroomed globally. Unfortunately, work on Latin America has not been well represented in either theoretical or empirical discussions of the broader conflict. With some notable exceptions, studies have proceeded in rather conventional channels, focusing on U.S. policy objectives and high-profile leaders (Fidel Castro) and events (the Cuban Missile Crisis) and drawing largely on U.S. go ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-4094-2, ISBN: 0-8223-4094-1

"In this pathbreaking work, Jasbir K. Puar argues that configurations of sexuality, race, gender, nation, class, and ethnicity are realigning in relation to contemporary forces of securitization, counterterrorism, and nationalism. She examines how liberal politics incorporate certain queer subjects into the fold of the nation-state, through developments including the legal recognition inherent in the overturning of anti-sodomy laws and t ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-4069-0, ISBN: 0-8223-4069-0

"The sheer intensity and violence of Germany's twentieth century--through the end of an empire, two world wars, two democracies, and two dictatorships--provide a unique opportunity to assess the power and endurance of commercial imagery in the most extreme circumstances. "Selling Modernity" places advertising and advertisements in this tumultuous historical setting, exploring such themes as the relationship between advertising and propag ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-3741-6, ISBN: 0-8223-3741-X

"In some parts of the world spending on pharmaceuticals is astronomical. In others people do not have access to basic or life-saving drugs. Individuals struggle to afford medications; whole populations are neglected, considered too poor to constitute profitable markets for the development and distribution of necessary drugs. The ethnographies brought together in this timely collection analyze both the dynamics of the burgeoning internati ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-3525-2, ISBN: 0-8223-3525-5

"The Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben is having an increasingly significant impact on Anglo-American political theory. His most prominent intervention to date is the powerful reassessment of sovereignty and the politics of life and death laid out in his multivolume "Homo Sacer" project. Agamben argues that in both the modern world and the ancient, politics inevitably involves a sovereign decision that bans some individuals from the po ..."
