This book engages with the experience of space and time in youth
cultures across the world. Putting together contemporary case
studies on young transnationalists, young glocals and young
protesters in cities on the five continents, it analyzes new agoras
and chronotopes in global cities. It is based on a selection of
papers first presented to the International Sociological
Association (ISA) Research Committee 34 session on Youth Cultures,
Space and Time that took place during the ISA World Congresses of
Sociology in Gothenburg, Sweden (2010), and in Yokohama, Japan
(2014). The value of this volume for youth researchers worldwide is
twofold. Firstly, the chapters exemplify innovative approaches to
understanding the fluid and dynamic urban space-time dimension in
which young people's cultural and bodily practices are located.
Secondly, the volume offers a transnational perspective. Chapter
contributors come from countries across the world, and give account
of very diverse youth culture phenomena. They represent both
established researchers and new voices in youth research.
Contributors are: Oscar Aguilera Ruiz, Ilenya Camozzi, Carles
Feixa, Vitor Sergio Ferreira, Liliana Galindo Ramirez, Elham
Golpoush-Nezhad, Leila Jeolas, Jeffrey J. Juris, Hagen Kordes,
Sofia Laine, Carmen Leccardi, Pam Nilan, Jordi Nofre, Ndukaeze
Nwabueze, Luca Queirolo Palmas, Yannis Pechtelidis, Geoffrey
Pleyers, Jose Sanchez Garcia, Mahmood Shahabi. Youth, Space and
Time is now available in paperback for individual customers.
In this selective overview of scholarship generated by The Hunger
Games-the young adult dystopian fiction and film series which has
won popular and critical acclaim-Zhange Ni showcases various
investigations into the entanglement of religion and the arts in
the new millennium. Ni introduces theories, methods, and the latest
developments in the study of religion in relation to politics,
audio/visual art, new media, material culture, and popular culture,
whilst also reading The Hunger Games as a story that explores the
variety, complexity, and ambiguity of enchantment. In popular texts
such as this, religion and art-both broadly construed, that is,
beyond conventional boundaries-converge in creating an enchantment
that makes life more bearable and effects change in the world.
Transforming Saints explores the transformation and function of the
images of holy females within wider religious, social, and
political contexts of Old Spain and New Spain from the Spanish
conquest to Mexican independence. The chapters here examine the
rise of the cults of the lactating Madonna, St. Anne, St. Librada,
St. Mary Magdalene, and the Suffering Virgin. Concerned with holy
figures presented as feminine archetypes, images that came under
Inquisition scrutiny, as well as cults suspected of concealing
indigenous influences, Charlene VillaseNor Black argues that these
images would come to reflect the empowerment and agency of women in
viceregal Mexico. Her close analysis of the imagery additionally
demonstrates artists' innovative responses to Inquisition
censorship and the new artistic demands occasioned by conversion.
The concerns that motivated the twenty-first century protests
against Chicana artists Yolanda LOpez in 2001 and Alma LOpez in
2003 have a long history in the Hispanic world-anxieties about the
humanization of sacred female bodies and fears of indigenous
influences infiltrating Catholicism. In this context Black also
examines a number of important artists in depth, including El
Greco, Murillo, Jusepe de Ribera, and Pedro de Mena in Spain and
Naples and Baltasar de Echave IbIa, Juan Correa, CristObal de
Villalpando, and Miguel Cabrera.
