Christmas, Ideology and Popular Culture

Title: Christmas, Ideology and Popular Culture
Author(s): Sheila Whiteley
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
ISBN: 9780748628094
Date: 2008
Pages: 233
Size: 1.78 Mb
Format: PDF
Quality: High
Language: English

How do we understand Christmas? What does it mean? This book is a lively introduction to the study of popular culture through one central case study. It explores the cultural, social and historical contexts of Christmas in the UK, USA and Australia, covering such topics as fiction, film, television, art, newspapers and magazines, war, popular music and carols. Chapters explore the ways in which the production of meaning is mediated by the social and cultural activities surrounding Christmas (watching Christmas films, television, listening or engaging with popular music and carols), its relationship to a set of basic values (the idealised construct of the family), social relationships (community), and the ways in which ideological discourses are used and mobilised, not least in times of conflict, terrorism and war. [+/-]

Packed with examples ranging from Charles Dickens' seminal text, A Christmas Carol, Coca-colonisation and Santa Claus, Victorian cartoons and Christmas cards, to Dr Who, The Office, 'A Fairy Tale of New York', 'Happy Christmas (War is Over)', and such dystopian films as Jingle All the Way and All I Want For Christmas, the case studies offer an incisive account of the ways in which Christmas relates to social change, and how such recent events as 9/11 and the continuing conflict in Iraq focus attention on traditional themes of community and family. Christmas, Ideology and Popular Culture offers students and scholars alike an opportunity to explore the hidden agendas of the world's most popular festival and what it means to the outsider looking in.

Love: A History

Title: Love: A History
Author(s): Simon May
Publisher: Yale University Press publications
ISBN: 9780300118308
Date: 2011
Pages: 313
Size: 1.06 Mb
Format: PDF
Quality: High
Language: American English

Love unconditional, selfless, unchanging, sincere, and totally acceptingis worshipped today as the West's only universal religion. To challenge it is one of our few remaining taboos. In this pathbreaking and superbly written book, the author, philosopher, does just that, dissecting our resilient ruling ideas of love and showing how they are the product of a long and powerful cultural heritage.Tracing over 2,500 years of human thought and history, the author shows how our ideal of love developed from its Hebraic and Greek origins. [+/-]

Brilliantly, the author explores the very different philosophers and writers, both skeptics and believers, who dared to think differently: from Aristotle's perfect friendship and Ovid's celebration of sex and "the chase," to Rousseau's personal authenticity, Nietzsche's affirmation, Freud's concepts of loss and mourning, and boredom in Proust. Against our belief that love is an all-powerful solution to finding meaning, security, and happiness in life, the author reveals with great clarity what love actually is: the intense desire for someone whom we believe can ground and affirm our very existence. The feeling that "makes the world go round" turns out to be a harbinger of home--and in that sense, of the sacred.

The Birth of America from before Columbus to the Revolution

Title: The Birth of America from before Columbus to the Revolution
Author(s): William R. Polk
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Inc
ISBN: 0060750901
Date: 2006
Pages: 418
Size: 2.62 Mb
Format: PDF
Quality: High
Language: American English

In this provocative history of colonial America, William R. Polk explores the key events and individuals that defined this critical epoch by offering vivid descriptions of the societies the Europeans came from and what they believed they were going to, while introducing the native peoples encountered in the New World and the black Africans who were brought across the Atlantic. As John Adams would point out to Thomas Jefferson, the long years that witnessed the formation of our national character and the growth of our spirit of independence were indeed the real revolution. That is the compelling story at the root of The Birth of America.
