Hope and Wish Image in Music Technology
This book proposes that new music technologies attract unconscious desires for socialism and collectivity, enabling millions of people living under capitalism to dream of repressed social alternatives. Grounded in the philosophical writings of Ernst Bloch and Walter Benjamin, the book examines file sharing technologies, streaming services, and media players, as well as their historical antecedents, such as the player piano, cassette tape, radio and compact disc, alongside interpretations of fiction, memoir, and albums. Through the concept of wish images—the unconscious hopes and desires for social alternatives that gather around new technologies—the book identifies the repressed pre- and post-capitalist urges that attend our music technologies. While these desires typically remain unconscious and tend to pass away not only unmet but also unrecognized, Hope and Wish Image in Music Technology attempts to bring wishes for social alternatives to the surface at an auspicious moment of technological transition.
The Halls of Death
The ass had been coming the other way too long. He had none left to spare a dime of and as they are, had come to the part he had wanted most. It was more tours. The canceled check was of him and he wrote it for all you had been worth, as men do there. He wanted war. I had wanted both women and money. It was motion she was of. The inert had died of sin. So many were it and all came to rescue the baggage claim of it coming to the Vatican. This is sainted material and we had not understood sexual issues were the matter in sin of folly. So much is effected as the science of new millennia speaks as God. The tale is of a man who had not known why he did as he did. It was of a nation that had been effected of that. It was a Church that sanctified what was said of men. Send mother this.
Historical Foundations of Black Reflective Sociology
John H. Stanfield II, a leading historian of Black social science, distills decades of his research and thinking in a set of articles—some original to the volume, others from fugitive sources—that trace the trajectories of Black scholars and scholarship in relationship to the broader African American experience over the past two centuries. Stanfield’s signature contributions to this research tradition range from the role of philanthropy in the study and life of African Americans to institutional racism in sociology and the impacts of race on scholarly careers. His analyses run from global formulations to individual biographies, including his own, and stretch from the early decades of social science to the present. This work creates a nuanced historical context for reflective Black sociology that will be of interest to social historians, sociologists, and scholars of color from all disciplines.
