Fray
In 1974, women in a feminist consciousness-raising group in Eugene, Oregon, formed a mock organization called the Ladies Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society. Emblazoning its logo onto t-shirts, the group wryly envisioned female collective textile making as a practice that could upend conventions, threaten state structures, and wreak political havoc. Elaborating on this example as a prehistory to the more recent phenomenon of “craftivism”—the politics and social practices associated with handmaking—Fray explores textiles and their role at the forefront of debates about process, materiality, gender, and race in times of economic upheaval. Closely examining how amateurs and fine artists...

Secularization, Rationalism, and Sectarianism
How secular is contemporary society? Are pockets of sectarianism embedded in societies of developed countries? This timely book examines the interweaving of politics and religion, and of tradition and innovation in a variety of cultural settings. Eminent scholars from four continents examine here current turmoil in religious beliefs, practices, and organization--not only in the Western world, but in South America, Africa, South Asia, New Zealand, and Japan. They scrutinize evidence of religious change, decline, and revival; investigate challenges posed by new religious movements; and locate religious change and conflict in the context of broader shifts in consciousness and culture. Contributors include Richard Fenn, Phillip E. Hammond, David Martin, Philip Rieff, Roland Robertson, and Mark Schibley. With its focus on the interplay of secularization, rationalism, and sectarianism, this work offers a fitting tribute to Bryan Wilson, who has made so many contributions to the sociological understanding of these phenomena.
Religion in Sociological Perspective
In this book, based on lectures that the author was invited to deliver in Japan, Bryan Wilson traces the dominant contours of religion as perceived by the sociologist. His themes range from the study of sectarianism, on which he is one of the relationship between religion and culture in modern societies of the West and the East.
Yo soy Brian Wilson y tú no
Cofundador de los Beach Boys, Wilson compuso buena parte de la atemporal banda sonora del pop más lisérgico –y no solo apto para surferos– de los años sesenta. Con especial cuidado en la armonización de sus canciones y exquisito paladar para la instrumentación, sus letras nos transportan desde su más indolente vitalismo playero y asilvestrado jipismo a las vertiginosas simas por las que se precipitara, en caída libre, este genio torturado. Sus temas, hoy míticos, dan fe del alcance de la revolución que llegaría a la industria discográfica de la mano de este incomprendido talento natural cuya sofisticación llevaría las posibilidades creativas del pop a confines desconocidos h...
