She Animates
She Animates examines the work of twelve female animation directors in the Soviet Union and Russia, who have long been overlooked by film scholars and historians. Our approach examines these directors within history, culture, and industrial practice in animation. In addition to making a case for including these women and their work in the annals of film and animation history, this volume also makes an argument for why their work should be considered part of the tradition of women’s cinema. We offer textual analysis that focuses on the changing attitudes towards both the woman question and feminism by examining the films in light of the emergence and evolution of a Soviet female subjectivity that still informs women’s cinema in Russia today.
Infinite recognition
Tiré du site Internet: "Chloe Feinberg's work has an affinity with Vaporwave, a sub-genre of electronic music and art started in the early 2010's by internet communities, and much like this genre, seeks to rearrange the relationship with the aesthetics of consumer culture by referencing and remaking nostalgic imagery. Feinberg believes in the importance of individual exploration of the unconscious, excavating our own personal underworld and often a deep confusion and ambivalence to these images. Chloe Feinberg is an English/American artist and animator based in London. She studied Fine Art at Central St Martins and Animation at the Royal College of Art."

Changing Minds
Social movements—organized efforts by relatively powerless people to change society—can result in legal and policy changes, such as laws protecting same-sex marriage and tax rebates for solar energy. However, movements also change people’s beliefs, values, and everyday behavior. Such changes may help bring about new policies or take place in the absence of new policy, yet we still know little about when and why they occur. In Changing Minds, sociologists Francesca Polletta and Edwin Amenta ask why movements have sometimes had fast and far-reaching cultural influence. Polletta and Amenta examine the trajectories of U.S. social movements, including the old-age pension movements of the 19...
Respect and Loathing in American Democracy
"Respect is in trouble in American politics. Many Americans think that respecting other citizens is a virtue of a democratic society, yet many struggle to respect opposing partisans. It is especially liberal citizens, who hold respect as central to their robust view of democratic equality, who struggle the most granting respect to others. In Respect and Loathing in American Democracy, political theorist Jeff Spinner-Halev and political psychologist Elizabeth Theiss-Morse team up to explain why respect is important to democracy and yet so lacking in contemporary US politics. Drawing on evidence from extensive focus groups, national surveys, survey experiments, and the views of political theor...
