Carnivalizing Difference: Bakhtin and the Other (Routledge Harwood Studies in Russian and European Literature #Vol. 6)
by Paul Allen Miller David Shepherd Charles Platter Peter I. BartaIt has seemed at times that there is no neutral territory between those who see Bakhtin as the practitioner of a kind of neo-Marxist, or at least materialist, deconstruction and those who look at the same texts and see a defender of traditional, liberal humanist values and classical conceptions of order, a conservative in the true sense of the term. Arising from a conference under the same title held at Texas Tech University, Carnivalizing Difference seeks to explore the actual and possible relationships between Bakhtinian theory and cultural practice. The introduction explores the changing configurations of our understanding of Bakhtin's work in the context of recent theory and outlines how that understanding can inform, and be informed by, culture both ancient and modern. Eleven articles, spanning a wide range of periods and cultural forms, then address these issues in detail, revealing the ways in which Bakhtinian thought illuminates, sometimes obfuscates, but always challenges.

Carpe Every Diem: The Best Graduation Advice from More Than 100 Commencement Speeches
by Robie RoggeA thoughtfully curated, cleverly designed keepsake that distills the wisdom of all those powerful commencement speakers—from Barack Obama and Gloria Steinem to Kermit the Frog—into the best advice for grads of all ages.Carpe Every Diem is a thought-provoking collection of quotes from famous commencement speakers meant to motivate and inspire the next generation of leaders. Paired by theme, many of the quotes complement one another. George Saunders, for example, riffs on the "failures of kindness" of his youth, encouraging grads to be kinder. Jimmy Buffett offers a simpler nugget of kind-spiration: "Be Santa Claus when you can." Other quotes, however, are paired with conflicting advice, giving graduates the opportunity to choose what to believe in. Some may respond to Neil Gaiman's "make good art" speech, while others may prefer John Waters's call to arms to horrify and outrage others with their art. What will you choose?Each quote is accompanied by a short bio of the speaker and stamped with the year and institution where the commencement speech was delivered. With advice from the likes of Abby Wambach, Angela Davis, David Foster Wallace, Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, Kanye West, and more, readers will be swept away by the wit and wisdom contained in this book.

Cartographic Grounds: Projecting the Landscape Imaginary
by Charles Waldheim Mohsen Mostafavi Jil DesiminiMapping has been one of the most fertile areas of exploration for architecture and landscape in the past few decades. While documenting this shift in representation from the material and physical description toward the depiction of the unseen and often immaterial, Cartographic Grounds takes a critical view toward the current use of data mapping and visualization and calls for a return to traditional cartographic techniques to reimagine the manifestation and manipulation of the ground itself.Each of the ten chapters focuses on a single cartographic technique--sounding/spot elevation, isobath/contour, hachure/hatch, shaded relief, land classification, figure-ground, stratigraphic column, cross-section, line symbol, conventional sign--and illustrates it through beautiful maps and plans from notable designers and cartographers throughout history, from Leonardo da Vinci to James Corner Field Operations. Mohsen Mostafavi, dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, introduces the book.
Cartographic Mexico: A History of State Fixations and Fugitive Landscapes
by Raymond B Craib Sonia Saldívar-HullIn Cartographic Mexico, Raymond B. Craib analyzes the powerful role cartographic routines such as exploration, surveying, and mapmaking played in the creation of the modern Mexican state in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Such routines were part of a federal obsession - or "state fixation" - with determining and "fixing" geographic points, lines, and names in order to facilitate economic development and political administration. As well as analyzing the maps that resulted from such routines, Craib examines in close detail the processes that eventually generated them. Taking central Veracruz as a case in point, he shows how in the field, agrarian officials, military surveyors, and metropolitan geographers traversed a "fugitive landscape" of overlapping jurisdictions and use rights, ambiguous borders, shifting place names, and villagers with their own conceptions of history and territory. Drawing on an array of sources - including maps, letters from peasants, official reports, and surveyors' journals and correspondence - Craib follows the everyday, contested processes through which officials attempted to redefine and codify such fugitive landscapes in struggle with the villagers they encountered in the field. In the process, he vividly demonstrates how surveying and mapmaking were never mere technical procedures: they were, and remain to this day, profoundly social and political practices in which surveyors, landowners, agrarian bureaucrats, and peasants all played powerful and complex roles.
Cartographies Of Desire: Male-male Sexuality In Japanese Discourse, 1600-1950
by Gregory M. PflugfelderIn this sweeping study of the mapping and remapping of male-male sexuality over four centuries of Japanese history, Gregory Pflugfelder explores the languages of medicine, law, and popular culture from the seventeenth century through the American Occupation. Pflugfelder opens with fascinating speculations about how an Edo translator might grapple with a twentieth-century text on homosexuality, then turns to law, literature, newspaper articles, medical tracts, and other sources to discover Japanese attitudes toward sexuality over the centuries. During each of three major eras, he argues, one field dominated discourse on male-male sexual relations: popular culture in the Edo period (1600-1868), jurisprudence in the Meiji period (1868-1912), and medicine in the twentieth century. This multidisciplinary and theoretically engaged analysis will interest not only students and scholars of Japan but also readers of gay studies, literary studies, gender studies, and cultural studies.

Cary Grant: La biografía
by Marc Eliot«Todo el mundo quiere ser Cary Grant. Incluso yo quiero ser Cary Grant.» Con estas palabras resumía el propio Cary Grant el atractivo y la fascinación que su personaje público despertó en todo el mundo a lo largo de varias décadas. Considerado uno de los grandes mitos de la era dorada de Hollywood, pocos conocen, sin embargo, su vida privada, sus orígenes humildes en Inglaterra, donde nació y recibió el nombre de Archibald Alexander Leach, y los avatares que le llevaron a convertirse en uno de los actores más cotizados de su época. Marc Eliot ofrece en este libro, sin duda la biografía definitiva del actor, una amena y a la vez rigurosa narración de la vida de este gigante del cine, centrándose tanto en su intimidad -muy suculenta y salpicada de escándalos, divorcios y titulares- como en su faceta profesional, haciendo especial hincapié en su relación con sus directores favoritos: Howard Hawks, George Cukor o Alfred Hitchcock, el cineasta que mejor supo esculpir el irrepetible talento de Cary Grant, cuya enigmática mirada vuelve a hipnotizarnos en las páginas de este libro imprescindible.

Case Studies in Curriculum Change: Great Britain and the United States (Routledge Library Editions: Education)
by Decker F. Walker William A. ReidOne of the educationist’s major concerns today is to find effective ways of translating new goals for the curriculum into classroom practices. American and British contributions analyse curriculum change as it actually occurs, with people, institutions and constraints of time and money acknowledged and accepted as a necessary and rightful part of the whole process. Detailed accounts are given of curriculum change in a wide variety of settings: American and English school systems, a college of education, an art curriculum project, Scottish classrooms. Analytic perspectives are employed that help to clarify the underlying forces at work. The contributors probe the adequacy of current theorizing about curriculum development, and suggest new ways of thinking about the problems involved in bringing about change.
