Maribor in Mariborčani
Maribor je mesto nasprotij, ki je v preteklih stoletjih doživelo obdobja razcveta, pa tudi številnih pretresov in nazadovanja: od srednjeveškega centra judovske kulture na Slovenskem, do centra nemštva na južnem Štajerskem, od središča bogate trgovine s kmetijskimi pridelki, do najpomembnejšega industrijskega središča v nekdanji Jugoslaviji. Mesto, ki v današnjem času – v obdobju zaostrenih gospodarskih razmer, propada in je na robu socialnega zloma. Znanstvena monografija Maribor in Mariborčani predstavlja pogled štirinajstih znanstvenikov z različnih raziskovalnih področij humanistike (etnologije, biografike, zgodovine, muzikologije, antropologije, umetnostne in literarne zgodovine) na usode Mariborčanov, gospodarski in kulturni razvoj ter zmogljivosti tega svojstvenega urbanega središča na Slovenskem.
Govorica predmetov
Monografija je strnitev raziskav treh avtoric, ki obravnavajo materialno kulturo s teoretičnega, epistemološkega, historičnega in institucionalno raziskovalnega vidika. Besedilo v petih razpravah o materialni kulturi pripoveduje o človeku, družbi, času in prostoru, saj predmeti v življenju posameznika nimajo le praktične - funkcionalne vrednosti, marveč povezovalno in ločevalno vlogo, posebno funkcijo imajo v interkulturni in multikulturni komunikaciji. V prvem delu knjige so obravnavni teoretični koncepti in bogata zgodovina etnološkega raziskovanja. Poznavanje preteklih sestavin materialne kulture in njenega raziskovanja pojasnjuje tudi današnje življenje in kulturo, socialne in regionalne razlike, kakršne so značilne tudi za sodobni svet in slovensko družbo. V drugem delu knjige so predstavljene tri etnološke študije – o bivalni, oblačilni in prehranski kulturi. Prva govori o ognjiščih v Vipavski dolini kot središču vsakdanjih in nekaterih dediščinskih praks, druga o oblačilnem videzu ljubljanskih predšolskih otrok in skrbi zanj, tretja pa o bučnem olju, značilni sestavini prehrane in identitete na Štajerskem.
Narrative Mechanics
What do stories in games have in common with political narratives? This book identifies narrative strategies as mechanisms for meaning and manipulation in games and real life. It shows that the narrative mechanics so clearly identifiable in games are increasingly used (and abused) in politics and social life. They have »many faces«, displays and interfaces. They occur as texts, recipes, stories, dramas in three acts, movies, videos, tweets, journeys of heroes, but also as rewarding stories in games and as narratives in society - such as a career from rags to riches, the concept of modernity or market economy. Below their surface, however, narrative mechanics are a particular type of motivational design - of game mechanics.
American Orchestras in the Nineteenth Century
Studies of concert life in nineteenth-century America have generally been limited to large orchestras and the programs we are familiar with today. But as this book reveals, audiences of that era enjoyed far more diverse musical experiences than this focus would suggest. To hear an orchestra, people were more likely to head to a beer garden, restaurant, or summer resort than to a concert hall. And what they heard weren’t just symphonic works—programs also included opera excerpts and arrangements, instrumental showpieces, comic numbers, and medleys of patriotic tunes. This book brings together musicologists and historians to investigate the many orchestras and programs that developed in ni...
The Historical Anthropology of Early Modern Italy
This volume presents an original view of the culture of early modern Italy. The book addresses particular themes - specifically those of perception and communication - as well as serving to exemplify modes of analysis in the currently developing field of historical anthropology.
Humbug
"This carefully researched study of America's greatest showman, huckster, and impresario is both an inclusive analysis of the historical and cultural forces that were the conditions of P. T. Barnum's success, and, as befits its subject, a richly entertaining presentation of the outrageous man and his exploits." -- Publisher.

A Passion for Ignorance
An original and provocative exploration of our capacity to ignore what is inconvenient or traumatic Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and, as a result, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know. The dangers of this are obvious, but Salecl challenges our assumptions, arguing that there may also be ...
