A highly informative, entertaining, and slightly irreverent look at
one of life's great ceremonies Exposing the real-life insanity
behind those picture-perfect wedding days, this collection comforts
the soon-to-be-married with the knowledge that one's "perfect day"
doesn't have to be quite so perfect. This volume of wedding
anecdotes, superstitions, and jokes--with some statistics thrown
in--features both dream wedding days and disasters. Fresher in
perspective than a how-to guide, it offers a trousseau of tips and
short-cuts from the photographers and author and from other couples
who have been there--all stunningly illustrated by real photos of
real people enjoying real weddings.
The never-before published autobiography of Raphael Lemkin, a giant
among twentieth-century ethical thinkers Among the greatest
intellectual heroes of modern times, Raphael Lemkin lived an
extraordinary life of struggle and hardship, yet altered
international law and redefined the world’s understanding of
group rights. He invented the concept and word “genocide” and
propelled the idea into international legal status. An uncommonly
creative pioneer in ethical thought, he twice was nominated for the
Nobel Peace Prize. Although Lemkin died alone and in poverty,
he left behind a model for a life of activism, a legacy of major
contributions to international law, and—not least—an
unpublished autobiography. Presented here for the first time is his
own account of his life, from his boyhood on a small farm in Poland
with his Jewish parents, to his perilous escape from Nazi Europe,
through his arrival in the United States and rise to influence as
an academic, thinker, and revered lawyer of international criminal
law.
Closely reading a range of performance work from the late
twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, "Naming Theatre" is a
ground-breaking study of theater's growing obsession with
technologies and effects of naming. How do theater-makers such as
Ping Chong, Anne Bogart, Suzan-Lori Parks, Forced Entertainment,
Lightwork, Ridiculusmus, Theodora Skipitares, Paula Vogel, and Riot
Group intervene in naming practices across domains such as
medicine, political activism, philosophy, horror films, television
and print journalism, anthropology, advertising and brand
development, semiotics, military training, and genetics?
Bridging the gap between historical theory and the study of
historical memory, this series crosses the boundaries between both
academic disciplines and cultural, social, political and historical
contexts. In an age of rapid globalization, which tends to manifest
itself on an economic and political level, locating the cultural
practices involved in generating its underlying historical sense is
an increasingly urgent task. Identity has become a core concept of
the social and cultural sciences. Bringing together perspectives
from sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, and literary
criticism, this book offers a comprehensive and critical overview
on how this concept is currently used and how it relates to memory
and constructions of historical theory."
