The Fashion Studies Book

'A life-changing book' Viv Groskop Marisa Meltzer was put on her first diet aged five: it was the beginning of a fraught relationship with food. Jean Nidetch was a housewife from Queens who defiantly lost 70 pounds after she was mistaken for being pregnant. Taking everything she learned from this experience, in 1963 she founded Weight Watchers, a company that has shaped decades of diet culture. When Marisa reads Jean's obituary, she feels a moment of intense connection. Curious about the woman and her legacy, she signs up for a year of Weight Watchers; counting points, weighing in and listening to her fellow members struggle with their bodies. This is Big is a biography of an idiosyncratic entrepreneur whose impact is still felt strongly today. It is a history of dieting and body politics for anyone who has agonised over their weight or defiantly tried not to do so. And it is Marisa's funny and thoughtful journey towards a different way to live in the world. 'This is the anti-diet book I've been waiting for' Daisy Buchanan

Daft Punk & The Rewiring of 21st Century Culture

After Daft

Daft Punk are one of the 21st century's most iconic music groups. After Daft is not only the story of their rise and legacy, but also the story of dance and electronic culture that spans the last thirty years.

From 1993 to 2021, Daft Punk were the world's most influential electronic group. But how much of the cultural landscape did they change, and how much changed around them? After Daft draws on new interviews with over 100 groundbreaking and commercially-dominant artists, creative teams, record labels and concert promoters to illustrate how dance &amp; electronic music transformed from a fringe concern to the indispensable pulse of 21st century culture. With extensive access to Daft Punk (Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo)'s friends, collaborators, inner circle and disciples, After Daft will provide unprecedented insight into key events that gilded the group's legend. This includes their innovative Alive 2006-07 audiovisual tour, formative experiences with dance music's Black and Latin 'Teachers,' their Grammy-sweeping blockbuster LP Random Access Memories and the factors which precipitated their split in 2021. After Daft will simultaneously chronicle the A.D. era: A radical reshaping of the global entertainment industry over the past 30 years, in which DJing became a multibillion dollar business and the lines between rave, rock, hip-hop and radio-friendly pop dissolved. All this was in direct response to the wildfire popularity of Daft Punk, as well as a coterie of key musicians who worked with, were inspired by or otherwise orbited the robotic French duo. By detailing the broadened horizons of Millennial and Gen Z listeners, the hyper-online nature of fandom and the contentious minimizing of clubbing's pioneers, the book will authoritatively update the rich history of electro-music for a 2020s audience. In doing so, After Daft will take the reader through the journey of how Daft Punk became not just generational icons of the digital age, but one of the most visionary acts pop culture has ever known.

The Persistence of Television examines more than 60 years of television to identify the elements that have entertained and informed viewers from the beginning of mass broadcasting to the present day, proposing that most television viewing is rooted in traditional programming that is still largely received in conventional ways. 
The book includes the discussion of popular shows such as Doctor Who, Twin Peaks, Who Wants to be a Millionaire and David Attenborough's nature documentaries. On-screen faces, programmes and genres drawn from British, American and Australian television services are examined to demonstrate how continuity persists in the face of change. There's no denying the excitement or the value of the new, but the authors of this book argue that it runs in tandem with enduring aspects of the already existing.

Learning to Think

Das Handbuch denkt Medientheorien konsequent von den gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Transformationen von Kultur, Technologie und Gesellschaft her. Die Struktur und die Begriffe des Handbuchs greife globale Trends und Probleme des Medienwandels auf, die auf das Engste mit den technologischen Entwicklungen und Veränderungen von Kultur und Gesellschaft im Ganzen verknüpft sind. 
Angesichts dieser Komplexität und der zentralen Rolle, die Medien in gesellschaftlichen Transformationsprozessen einnehmen, existieren Medientheorien nur im Plural und stehen vor der Herausforderung ihrer beständigen Neuerfindung. Das ›Handbuch Medientheorien des 21. Jahrhunderts‹ schreibt daher nicht bloß einen bestehenden Kanon fest. Medientheorie wird vielmehr als eine kreative Praxis verstanden, die den zeitgenössischen sowie nahzukünftigen Bedingungen und Herausforderungen des Medienwandels mit neuen Begriffen und Theoremen begegnet.Der Gebrauchswert des Handbuchs besteht darin, zentrale Problemlagen der (post-)digitalen Gegenwart und Zukunft zu adressieren. Renommierte Autor:innen aus Medienwissenschaft und angrenzenden Disziplinen zeigen auf, inwiefern Medientheorien die Analyse einer hochtechnisierten, globalen Medienkultur ermöglichen, welche eng mit den mannigfaltigen Prozessen kultureller Differenzierung und Identitätsbildung verschränkt ist.Für Forscher:innen wie für Studierende, die an aktuellen Problemlagen interessiert sind, versammelt das Handbuch maßgebliche Themen, Begriffe und Konzepte, die den ›state of the art‹ zeitgenössischer medientheoretischer Diskurse bilden und als ›cutting edge‹-Beiträge Pfade für zukünftige Debatten vorzeichnen. Im Sinne einer kreativen Aneignung suchen die Beiträge dabei den Rückbezug zu etablierten Autor:innen der Medientheorie aus dem 20. Jahrhundert (z. B. Benjamin, McLuhan, Kittler), aktualisieren und rekontextualisieren deren Einsichten aber im Hinblick auf die Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft.Die Herausgeber*innenPD Dr. Christoph Ernst ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter der Abteilung Medienwissenschaft an der Universität Bonn.Dr. Katerina Krtilova ist wssenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Forschungsschwerpunkt Ästhetik und Koordinatorin des Doktoratsprogramms „Epistemologien ästhetischer Praktiken“, angesiedelt am Collegium Helveticum als Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der ZHdK, ETH und Universität Zürich.Prof. Dr. Jens Schröter ist Inhaber des Lehrstuhls Medienkulturwissenschaft an der Universität Bonn.Dr. Andreas Sudmann ist Privatdozent für Medienwissenschaft an der Universität Bochum und derzeit als wissenschaftlicher Koordinator und Principal Investigator für die Forschungsgruppe „How is artificial intelligence changing science? Research in the era of learning algorithms“ an der Universität Bonn tätig. Aktuelle Forschungsschwerpunkte: Digitale Medienkulturen und insbesondere Künstliche Intelligenz, Digitale Methoden, Theorie und Geschichte der Medien mit Schwerpunkt auf medienästhetische Problemstellungen, Medienkritik, medienwissenschaftliche Wissenschaft- und Technikforschung.

Bloomsbury Studies in Black Religion and Cultures

This book fills a gap in religious studies literature by providing a historical study of Black gospel music in Britain. While Black gospel music is a global phenomenon that evolved in many places, including the Caribbean, America and Europe, many still look to America for an understanding of its origin. Dulcie Dixon McKenzie challenges this approach, asserting that there is no universal, 'one-size-fits-all' historical account of Black gospel music. Instead, McKenzie offers an alternative to the American-dominated discourse, presenting Black gospel music as a tradition that was birthed in the churches founded by African Caribbean migrants during the post-war years in Britain. This book is structured around three main themes-context, culture and conservation-and features first-hand accounts from founding members of African Caribbean Pentecostalism, as well as from selected pioneers of singing and music within the various historic congregations. It explores topics such as the arrival and settlement of African Caribbean ancestors in Britain, the exporting of African Caribbean religious beliefs and practices, the growth of African Caribbean Pentecostal churches in Britain, and illustrations of a distinctive African Caribbean Pentecostal style of congregational worship.
