Arthur Miller's classic parable of mass hysteria draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 - one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history - and the McCarthyism which gripped America in the 1950s. The story of how the small community of Salem is stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice, culminating in a violent climax, is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.

Erving Goffman SAGE Publications Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Erving Goffman (1922-82) was an inspirational thinker, and one of the giants of 20th century sociology. Several of his books, notably "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" (1959), "Asylums" (1961), "Relations in Public" (1963), "Stigma" (1963) and "Gender Advertisements" (1979) are acknowledged as modern classics. Goffman fundamentally revised how we think of social life. After him, the study of social encounters, behavior in public, the construction and deconstruction of the self, stigma and forms of everyday communication, were never the same again. Without being obviously attached to any discrete research tradition, Goffman drew from the best thought on social interaction, applied it in his fieldwork, and produced a richly satisfying and extraordinarily influential approach to making sense of social life. He was a sociological virtuoso, producing unmatched insights into how life with others is sustained and why forms of interaction break down or cause personal damage. This unparalleled collection, edited by two acknowledged international experts on Goffman, produces a unique reference resource for researchers and students.It consists of the main critical responses to Goffman's oeuvre, offering readers a distillation of the main themes in Goffman's work and explaining how these themes relate to contemporary social thought. The collection is systematic and constitutes a unique asset in understanding this searching and wide-ranging thinker. The four volumes are thematically organized into nine sections. Section 1 - Personal Reminiscences: Goffman became internationally famous during the 1960s and 70s, at a moment when American sociology was growing by leaps and bounds. Although in some ways, an unusually reticent man, Goffman's success made him one of the 'faces' of American sociology during these crucial years in the professional formation of the subject. Because Goffman's methods of analysis are so personal to the man himself, this section is a particularly useful guide to elucidating and applying Goffman's ideas. Section 2 - Biography and Career: In this section Goffman's career is systematically and critically presented.Included are reflections on Goffman's relation to the academic community, his central legacies and his highly daring and revisionist attempt to rethink social encounters and social life.Section 3 - Goffman's Sociology and Modern Society: Although Goffman produced one of the most significant and influential of all contemporary approaches to sociology, the application of his ideas to the central questions of the day is often hard to identify. He was never an overtly 'political' thinker, nor did he engage in utopian theorizing. In this section, the relevance of Goffman's ideas for understanding modern society is pinpointed. Included are considerations of his dramaturgical method, his place in the politics of 60s Sociology, the relation of his ideas to questions of civility and etiquette and a discussion of how Goffman viewed human nature. Section 4 - Methods: Towards the end of his life Goffman sought to externalize the main methodological themes in his work. These had been mainly implicit in his popular writings in the late 1950s and 60s. However, in books like "Forms of Talk" (1981) and "Frame Analysis" (1986) he began to be more concrete about the key methodological elements in his work.This section includes discussions of Goffman's use of the concept of self, outlines the distinctive features of his method and indicates how his thought relates to 'common sense'. Section 5 - Textuality: This section continues the theme of Goffman's methodology, by examining how he understood and applied forms of 'reading' society and, in turn, how his readings have been 'read'. The challenge his work poses to orthodox ethnography, the place of irony in his analysis, the virtuoso character of his sociology and Goffman's innovations and decoding interaction comprise the central themes of this section. Section 6 - Central Sociological Concerns: In this, the most lengthy section of the collection, Goffman's central sociological concerns are investigated. His work on interaction, self, frames, stigma, mental illness and total institutions is critically examined. The section reveals the amazing fertility of Goffman's insights and the astonishing range of his sociological imagination. Above all, a critical understanding of why Goffman is important for sociology, what his achievement constitutes, and the strengths and limitations of his sociology, emerges from these pages.Section 7 - Goffman and the Classical Tradition: Goffman's relation to the classical tradition is explored in this section. Comparisons with the ideas of Cooley, Simmel, Park, Hughes and the Chicago School are identified and elaborated. The section helps readers to understand the nature of the unusual crucible from which Goffman's approach emerged. Section 8 - Goffman and His Contemporaries: Goffman's ideas generated a huge amount of critical discussion in his own lifetime. This section provides readers with a comprehensive guide to Goffman's relationship to the work of Blumer, structuralism, existentialism, Sartre, Elias, Habermas and feminism. Again, the sheer range of Goffman's influence emerges most powerfully. Section 9 - Goffman's Influence on Successors: Although Goffman died in 1982, his work is still a major influence in contemporary social analysis. This section explains how Goffman's ideas have been used in contemporary work on conversation analysis, semiotics, consumer culture, postmodernism and the public sphere. This magisterial collection is a fitting critical tribute to the sociology of Erving Goffman.It enables readers to fully appreciate the achievement and originality of this seminal thinker.

Memoirs Of A Revolutionary The New York Review of Books, Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A New York Review Books Original. Victor Serge is one of the great men of the twentieth century, anarchist, revolutionary, agitator, theoretician, historian of his times, and a fearless truthteller. He was also a great writer, the author of dazzling works of fiction, including the novel The Case of Comrade Tulayev, perhaps the finest book to emerge from the crucible of Stalinist terror, and of these no less extraordinary memoirs. Here Serge describes his upbringing in Belgium, the child of a family of exiled Russian revolutionary intellectuals, his early life as an activist, his time in a French prison, the active role he played in the Russian Revolution, as well his growing dismay at the Revolutionary regime's ever more repressive and murderous character. Expelled from the Soviet Union, Serge went to Paris, and barely escaped the Nazis to find a final refuge in Mexico. Memoirs of a Revolutionary describes a thrilling life on the frontlines of history and includes brilliant portraits of politicians from Trotsky and Lenin and Stalin and of major writers like Alexander Blok and Andrey Bely.Above all, it captures the sensibility of Serge himself, that of a courageous and singularly appealing advocate of human liberation who remained undaunted in the most trying of times. Peter Sedgwick's fine translation of Serge's Memoirs of a Revolutionary was cut by a fifth when it was first published in 1963. This new edition is the first in English to present the entirety of Serge's book.

Exile on Main Street Hachette Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Recorded during the blazing hot summer of 1971 at Villa Nellcote, Keith Richards's seaside mansion in southern France, Exile on Main Street has been hailed as one of the greatest rock records of all time. Yet its improbable creation was difficult, torturous...and at times nothing short of dangerous. In self-imposed exile, the Stones-along with wives, girlfriends, and an unrivaled crew of hangers-on-spent their days smoking, snorting, and drinking whatever they could get their hands on, while at night, Villa Nellcote's basement studio became the crucible in which creative strife, outsized egos, and all the usual byproducts of the Stones' legendary hedonistic excess fused into something potent, volatile, and enduring. Here, for the first time, is the season in hell that produced Exile on Main Street.

ORMUS - The Secret Alchemy of Mary Magdalene Revealed [A] ESSENE COMMUNITY LIFE CHURCH

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

[Volume 1] "Hearth wastes no time getting straight to the heart of the matter: a compelling introductory work to his new novel "ORMUS The Secret Alchemy of Mary Magdalene" "A MUST READ for anyone interested in the secret truth behind Mary Magdalene, TEMPLAR executions, ESSENE mystery schools; the persecutions of Magdalene's family and her constituency." Hearth speculates that, "At a time when ancient vegetarian philosophies clashed with the Judaic-temple practice of slaughtering innocent animals for blood sacrifice-" one question in particular begs an answer: "What if the ebionites and essenes were actually vegetarians? Their Way of Life and dietary practices would have caused them to be labeled as heretics and outcasts throughout Judean society as being Blasphemous... A crime punishable by death," whereas these days, such knowledge might elicit a more conscious, enlightened Way of Life. essene.net Hearth is publicizing the arrival of the books in a novel way. He has recently completed a 40-day vegan juice-fast designed to demonstrate that these ancient ideals, remain valid, as a way forward today, and are applicable in averting imminent environmental collapse. Hearth is planning a follow-up fast of 60-120 days, commencing mid to late November 2011. The percentage of ORMUS found in the human body varies greatly depending on the dietary practices of the individual. Hence fasting is always mentioned in all texts relating to holy men and women. The Tara, Dakini, Durgee, the Black Madonna, and MahaKala all representative of processes involved in transfiguration of Tantric yogis and yoginis. The objective is to arrange the human laboratory in such a way as to achieve an ORMUS-laden critical-mass, within a healthy body; the laboratory of the human body, being representative of the true alchemist's crucible. pH swings in the process of transmuting "lead into gold" were always represented as colorations of an elixir: Red Dragon, Green Dragon, Blue Body of Krishna, Green Tara, Golden Flower, and of course the White-Light Body of the Christ. One day some of us will live in the Light. We will eat, drink and breath the Light. Like the lowly worm, having woven a platinum-silky cocoon, eventually emerges as a beautiful butterfly; so too will we, one day, live, breath and glide through the Light. Some creatures live in water; while others transitioned to an amphibious existence; others migrated successfully to a land-based home; others fly through the air with the greatest of ease. "A NO NONSENSE primer for those awaiting the greatly anticipated novel from newly acclaimed author William Hearth" "Was JUDAS a favorite disciple of Mary's? Was he framed by Saul of Tarsus?" "The Secret Alchemy of Mary Magdalene will enthrall, educate; elucidate." "If you love Mary Magdalene; everything she stands for, this is a must-read, must-own" Mary Magdalene; Cleopatra's MFKTZ-ORMUS: What is it?

'The Flood didn't come suddenly as a big surprise. It came at the end of a long, tormented story. Men just went on multiplying and the noise they made was ever more irksome . . . I remember days of desperation.'A long time ago, the gods grew tired of humans and decided to send a flood to destroy them. But Ea, the god of fresh underground water, didn't agree. He advised one of his devotees, Utnapishtim, to build a quadrangular boat to house humans and animals, and saved these living creatures from the Flood.Rather than punish Utnapishtim for his disobedience, Enlil, King of the gods, granted the mortal eternal life and banished him to the island of Dilmun. Thousands of years later, when Sinbad the Sailor is shipwrecked and arrives on that very same island, the two begin a conversation about courage, loss, salvation and sacrifice.Following Calasso's masterful retelling of ancient Greek myths in The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony and Indic myths in Ka, this richly imaginative work delves into the crucible of our collective consciousness to reimagine the origin stories of one of the earliest human civilizations.
