Beginning Postmodernism
"Postmodernism" has become the buzzword of contemporary society. Yet it remains baffling in its variety of definitions, contexts and associations. Beginning Postmodernism aims to offer clear, accessible and step-by-step introductions to postmodernism across a wide range of subjects. It encourages readers to explore how the debates about postmodernism have emerged from basic philosophical and cultural ideas. With its emphasis firmly on "postmodernism in practice," the book contains exercises and questions designed to help readers understand and reflect upon a variety of positions in the following areas of contemporary culture: philosophy and cultural theory; architecture and concepts of space; visual art; sculpture and the design arts; popular culture and music; film, video and television culture; and the social sciences.
Literatures of Memory
Not only do drama and poetry about the past and historical novels reveal a shared understanding of pivotal moments, historical figures, and every life of earlier times, say Middleton (English, U. of Southampton) and Woods (English, U. of Wales-Aberystwyth), they also outline more general beliefs about the past and its relation to the present. It is.
Love In The Time Of Britpop
England, 1990s. Cool Britannia takes over the world and Britpop leads the charge. The easiest thing for Chris would be to submerge himself in the music, but with girls like Lou around, it's not that simple. And she's not the only one distracting him from his beloved bands ... When he most needs help, will compulsive climber Rob, or Mike, a PhD student who's OCD on coffee, show him the way? Maybe Cecilia, or the unforgettable Chemical Joe with his in-depth knowledge of gangster films, can come up with the answers? Caught between bad advice, an overwhelming desire for sex and an opportunity to see Blur, the one big Britpop band he's missed, Chris has life-changing decisions to make. As the 90s come to a close, is this finally the time to go it alone? Love In The Time Of Britpop is an unromantic comedy about great loves, incredible music and awkward sex, all set to the finest soundtrack the UK has ever produced.

The Engaged Sociologist
This book brings the 'public sociology' movement into the classroom, as it teaches students to use the tools of sociology to become effective participants in our democratic society. Through exercises and projects, the authors encourage students to practice the application of these tools in order to get both hands-on training in sociology and experience with civic engagement in their communities.
The Poetics of the Limit
This book situates Louis Zukofsky's poetics (and the lineage of Objectivist poetics more broadly) within a set of ethical concerns in American poetic modernism. The book makes a strong case for perceiving Zukofsky as a missing key figure within this ethical matrix of modernism. Viewing Zukofsy's poetry through the lens of the theoretical work of Theodor Adorno and Emmanuel Levinas, Woods argues for an ethical genealogy of American poetics leading from Zukofsky through the contemporary school of LANGUAGE poetry. Woods brings together modernism and postmodernism, ethics and aesthetics, in interesting and innovative ways which shed new light on our understanding of this neglected strain of modernist poetics.
