The living practice of Daoist ritual is still only a small part of
Daoist studies. Most of this work focuses on the southeast, with
the vast area of north China often assumed to be a tabula rasa for
local lay liturgical traditions. This book, based on fieldwork,
challenges this assumption. With case studies on parts of Hebei,
Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces, Stephen Jones describes
ritual sequences within funerals and temple fairs, offering details
on occupational hereditary lay Daoists, temple-dwelling priests,
and even amateur ritual groups. Stressing performance, Jones
observes the changing ritual scene in this poor countryside, both
since the 1980s and through all the tribulations of
twentieth-century warfare and political campaigns. The whole
vocabulary of north Chinese Daoists differs significantly from that
of the southeast, which has so far dominated our image. Largely
unstudied by scholars of religion, folk Daoist ritual in north
China has been a constant theme of music scholars within China.
Stephen Jones places lay Daoists within the wider context of folk
religious practices - including those of lay Buddhists, sectarians,
and spirit mediums. This book opens up a new field for scholars of
religion, ritual, music, and modern Chinese society.

By 1980, everyone from rock stars to royalty, from Boy George to
Diana, Princess of Wales, identified Stephen Jones as the milliner
who would help them make arresting headlines. Jones s creative
collaborations over the years have included partnerships with
designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Rei Kawakubo, John Galliano,
and Thom Browne. Stephen Jones: Souvenirs, written by Susannah
Frankel, one of fashion s most informed voices, describes Jones s
rise from London s street fashion scene to international runways,
showcasing the magic, allure, and wit of his iconic creations. It
also draws upon behind-the-scenes images, preparatory
illustrations, and personal photographs and ephemera to tell the
story of one of the most influential milliners of our time.
Beautifully designed and engaging, this delightful volume traces
the myriad ways that from runways to racecourses, from pop promos
to royal garden parties millinery by Stephen Jones adds the
exclamation point to every fashion statement. Stephen Jones is
considered one of the most impor- tant milliners of the late
twentieth and early twenty- first centuries. Susannah Frankel is
editor in chief of AnOther Magazine. From 1999 to 2012 she was
fashion editor of the Independent, and from 2013 to 2016 she was
fashion director of Grazia. Grace Coddington is the creative
director of American Vogue.
Antonymy is the technical name used to describe 'opposites', pairs
of words such as rich/poor, love/hate and male/female. Antonyms are
a ubiquitous part of everyday language, and this book provides a
detailed, comprehensive account of the phenomenon. This book
demonstrates how traditional linguistic theory can be revisited,
updated and challenged in the corpus age. It will be essential
reading for scholars interested in antonymy and corpus linguistics.

This book explores the ways in which the contemporary university is
talked about, and talks about itself. Focusing on English higher
education, Jones documents how an under-confident sector
internalised the language and logic of government policy, and
individual institutions then set about normalising competition and
gaming short-term advantage at the expense of collectively serving
a common good. A flawed marketisation project was attended and
sustained by hostile discourses, with purportedly woke universities
becoming a soft target for right-leaning politicians and media
commentators, and campuses reluctant battlefields for manufactured
culture wars. Within this context, integrity deficits soon arose:
universities bragged about diversity and social responsibility
without commensurate action; global ambitions went unmatched by
local accountability; senior management grew more distant and
self-rewarding as contractual precarity increased for frontline
staff. Jones does not call for a return to any golden age of
academic self-rule. Rather, he warns that without self-assured new
stories, firmly underpinned by more transparent and moral forms of
governance, universities risk further compromising their standing
as trusted public institutions at the very moment they are needed
most.

This second volume of Stephen Jones' work on ritual and musical
life in north China, again with accompanying downloadable
resources, gives an impression of music-making in daily life in the
poor mountainous region of Shaanbei, northwest China. It conveys
some of the diverse musical activities there around 2000, from the
barrage of pop music blaring from speakers in the bustling
county-towns to the life-cycle and calendrical ceremonies of poor
mountain villages. Based on the practice of grass-roots
music-making in daily life, not merely on official images, the main
theme is the painful maintenance of ritual and its music under
Maoism, its revival with the market reforms of the 1980s, and its
modification under the assaults of TV, pop music, and migration
since the 1990s. The text is in four parts. Part One gives
background to the area and music-making in society. Parts Two and
Three discuss the lives of bards and shawm bands respectively,
describing modifications in their ceremonial activities through the
twentieth century. Part Four acclimatizes us to the modern world
with glimpses of various types of musical life in Yulin city, the
regional capital, illustrating the contrast with the surrounding
countryside. The 44-minute downloadable resources, with its
informative commentary, is intended both to illuminate the text and
to stand on its own. It shows bards performing at a temple fair and
to bless a family in distress, and shawm bands performing at a
wedding, at funerals, and a shop opening - including their pop
repertory with the 'big band'. Also featuring as part of these
events are opera troupes, geomancers, and performing beggars; by
contrast, the film shows a glimpse of the official image of
Shaanbei culture as presented by a state ensemble in the regional
capital. The publication will appeal to ethnomusicologists,
anthropologists, and all those interested in modern Chinese history
and society.
An introduction to the work, key ideas and influence of Gramsci,
Italian Marxist theorist and political activist. Gramsci was a long
term prisoner of the Mussolini regime, hence his most famous
writings have been those penned in his cell, including the "Prison
Notebooks" and the "Prison Letters." Gramsci's ideas about the the
relationships between the rulers and the ruled, about domination,
resistance and transgression, have been extremely influential in
cultural studies and cultural theory. He is perhaps best-known for
formulating the concept of "hegemony" which describes the process
whereby the ruling power wins the consent of the ruled to the
status quo, and hence to fit their subordination, and their ways of
understanding the world with the interests of the ruling power.
Gramsci's ideas were much employed during the grim years of
Thatcherism, as critics on the left (notably Stuart Hall) struggled
to find ways to explain the fact that the working classes kept
voting for Thatcher, even though it was apparently against their
interests to do so. Gramsci's thought also offers hope in that
challenges or transgressions to hegemonic ideas or structures can
be found even in the most outwardly conservative of narratives.
Popular culture has often been cited as a key battleground, on
which struggles for meaning and power take place - for example
debates about whether Eminem is a "good thing" - because he speaks
for the disenfranchised white working-class American, and argues
against racial boundaries in music - or a bad thing because of his
homophobic and misogynistic lyrics.
Steven Jones' book will explain the contemporary relevance of
Gramsci's ideas, notably about hegemony, throughrecent texts,
phenomena and events such as the death of Diana, "La haine," the
Global spread of McDonalds and anti-globalization tracts including
Naomi Klein's "No Logo."
