How Conservatives Built a Movement Against the Press

Making the Liberal Media

'Buckle your trousers, fasten your seatbelts, here comes Kate Lister. Her curious history of sex is a wild ride, made all the more enjoyable by a wonderfully irreverent approach . . . I've never had so much fun learning stuff' The Times 'Had Victoria Wood decided to write a scholarly book about sex, it would be like this. Lister has a saucy wit . . . I laughed out loud.' Daily Mail 'Lister romps her way through masturbation, menstruation and prostitution, the invention of condoms, the use of vibrators to cure hysteria and much more . . . Glorious' Evening Standard This is not a comprehensive study of every sexual quirk, kink and ritual across all cultures throughout time, as that would entail writing an encyclopaedia. Rather, this is a drop in the ocean, a paddle in the shallow end of sex history, but I hope you will get pleasantly wet nonetheless. The act of sex has not changed since people first worked out what went where, but the ways in which society dictates how sex is culturally understood and performed have varied significantly through the ages. Humans are the only creatures that stigmatise particular sexual practices, and sex remains a deeply divisive issue around the world. Attitudes will change and grow - hopefully for the better - but sex will never be free of stigma or shame unless we acknowledge where it has come from.Based on the popular research project Whores of Yore, and written with her distinctive humour and wit, A Curious History of Sex draws upon Dr Kate Lister's extensive knowledge of sex history. From medieval impotence tests to twentieth-century testicle thefts, from the erotic frescoes of Pompeii, to modern-day sex doll brothels, Kate unashamedly roots around in the pants of history, debunking myths, challenging stereotypes and generally getting her hands dirty. This fascinating book is peppered with surprising and informative historical slang, and illustrated with eye-opening, toe-curling and meticulously sourced images from the past. You will laugh, you will wince and you will wonder just how much has actually changed.

What Media Classes Really Want to Discuss

Focusing on social types during the July Monarchy, Pauline de Tholozany argues that the popularity of typologies in France participated in the construction of a national ideal conceived as a sum of individual parts. Tholozany shows that types such as the dandy, flâneur, and grisette abounded in plot-riven literary genres and in journalistic sketches, signaling a fear of obsoleteness that continually evolving printing technologies cast on social thought, thereby inaugurating a new way of thinking about society.

Focusing on social types during the July Monarchy, Pauline de Tholozany argues that they played a role in the construction of a national ideal in France during the period. As Tholozany shows, types such as the dandy, flÃ¢neur (including the child flÃ¢neur), and  grisette abounded, both in plot-driven literary genres and in journalistic sketches. At the same time, in classifying and describing these types, writers such as Jules Janin and Honoré de Balzac in collaboration with graphic artists insisted on the impossibility of establishing a stable social taxonomy. This paradoxical gesture, Tholozany claims, has larger consequences, since the social type’s resistance to a stable classification ultimately points to the difficulty of defining national identity as the sum of its typological parts. Reminding us that character, type, and stereotype are all words borrowed from printing technologies, Tholozany suggests that the types in what Walter Benjamin called panoramic literature signal a fear of obsoleteness that continually evolving printing technologies cast on social thought, a response that inaugurated a new way of thinking about society.

The (Un)Making of National Identity in France

Social Types in Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Journalism

Anlass dieses Heftes ist ein Doppelbefund: Während einerseits die Potenz der Erzählung in Zweifel gezogen wird, kehrt andererseits die Großerzählung in Form politischer Apokalyptik zurück. Hieran ist insbesondere der Zusammenhang interessant: Wieso wird die Endzeiterzählung just in jener Zeit populär, als die Erzählung selbst an ihr Ende zu gelangen scheint? Oder besser gefragt: Wieso kann sie sich überhaupt verbreiten, wenn das Erzählen doch angeblich an Plausibilität verliert?

Queer Fashion and Masculinities in India

From the creator of the viral Kardashian Kolloquium comes a New Media manifesto for the TikTok age - blending theory, cultural analysis and history to explain the meteoric rise of the Kardashians and what their fame reveals about how media functions today.Since 2007, Kim Kardashian and her extended family have mesmerised - and scandalised - the American public. We've been immersed in their social lives, controversies and reality TV exploits, while witnessing the staggering ascent of their multibillion-dollar fashion, beauty and media empire. But the central question remains: why are the Kardashians so famous? And what does their enduring relevance tell us about the media systems that shaped - and were shaped by - them?In Dekonstructing the Kardashians, MJ Corey, creator of the viral social platform Kardashian Kolloquium, delivers more than just the definitive cultural chronicle of the First Family of reality TV. She offers a probing exploration of how media has evolved in the internet age -and how it's reshaping our identities, our attention, and our understanding of reality itself. Part media theory, part cultural critique and part historical deep-dive, Dekonstructing the Kardashians weaves together fifty years of Western media history.Corey shows that the Kardashians aren't just celebrities - they're a mirror of our media moment, offering a key to understanding fame, identity and reality in the digital age.

Dekonstructing the Kardashians

Should we give up privacy to fight disease, for national security, or to help train AI systems? Recent crises, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from Gaza and Afghanistan to the seemingly unstoppable rise of AI, have put privacy under severe pressure. Privacy in Crisis argues the opposite: these crises show that privacy needs to be protected even more. Privacy in Crisis looks at vital current issues: at political manipulation and misinformation, government surveillance, racial tension, hybrid and cyberwarfare (and real wars, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza), the overwhelming power of the internet giants, and surveillance society, and how interference with privacy is key in all of them. It shows how specific crises bring many of these issues together in perfect storms of privacy invasion. The different threats to our privacy revealed by these crises tell parallel stories and are inextricably linked. There are common themes and common technologies - the threats involve the same data, the same profiling systems and the same approaches. In many cases the systems are run or owned by the same small set of companies, controlled by the same few people. Addressing them is difficult but possible - this essential book outlines how.

Diversity Studies schärfen den Blick für interdependente Differenzen wie Gender, Race, Class und weitere Identitätskategorien. Sprache, Literatur und Medien haben einen bisher kaum beachteten Anteil an der Produktion, aber auch der kritischen Reflexion sozio-kultureller Vielfalt. Die Beiträger*innen sensibilisieren für deren Wahrnehmung, indem sie einen Diskussionsrahmen abstecken, der Voraussetzungen, Dynamik und Effekte von Diversität analytisch miteinander in Beziehung setzt. Neben einer systematischen Einführung eröffnen sie außerdem theoretische und methodologische Zugänge zu exemplarischen Forschungsfragen - von historischen Themen bis hin zur aktuellen Vermittlungspraxis.

This book is concerned with the practical, ethical and political realities of critical research around state punishment. By definition, critical research is a dynamic and political process which recognizes the broad structural contexts within which human action takes place. Critical researchers argue for a more dynamic and reflexive approach to research, and have duties to expose oppressive structures and practices, make audible voices that are habitually silenced, and empower and emancipate marginalized groups and individuals. Based on a series of interviews conducted with researchers within and outside of academia, this book aims to capture the personal challenges, ethical dilemmas, practical obstacles, positive rewards and (potential or actual) harmful effects of undertaking critical research concerned with state punishment. It will also explore the different mediums used to disseminate research findings and how such findings are received by peers, the public and the state.Researching Punishment is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, media, sociology, journalism, film studies, and cultural studies.
