Free Download Damien Sojoyner, "Against the Carceral Archive: The Art of Black Liberatory Practice"
English | ISBN: 1531503772 | 2023 | 128 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Against the Carceral Archive is a meditation upon what author Damien M. Sojoyner calls the "carceral archival project," offering a distillation of critical, theoretical, and activist work of prison abolitionists over the past three decades. Working from collections at the Southern California Library (Black Panthers, LA Chapter; the Coalition Against Police Abuse; Urban Policy Research Institute; Mothers Reclaiming Our Children; and the collection of geographer Clyde Woods), it builds upon theories of the archive to examine carcerality as the dominant mode of state governance over Black populations in the United States since the 1960s.

Free Download Aesthetic Theory and the Video Game By Graeme Kirkpatrick
2011 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0719077184 | PDF | 14 MB
This book draws on aesthetic theory, including ideas from the history of painting, music and dance, to offer a fresh perspective on the video game as a popular cultural form. It argues that games like Grand Theft Auto and Elektroplankton are aesthetic objects that appeal to players because they offer an experience of form, as this idea was understood by philosophers like Immanuel Kant and Theodor Adorno. Video games are awkward objects that have defied efforts to categorise them within established academic disciplines and intellectual frameworks. Yet no one can deny their importance in re-configuring contemporary culture and their influence can be seen in contemporary film, television, literature, music, dance and advertising. This book argues that their very awkwardness should form the starting point for a proper analysis of what games are and the reasons for their popularity. This book will appeal to anyone with a serious interest in the increasingly playful character of contemporary capitalist culture.

Free Download Aegina: Contexts for Choral Lyric Poetry: Myth, History, and Identity in the Fifth Century BC By David Fearn
2011 | 528 Pages | ISBN: 0199546517 | PDF | 6 MB
This collection of essays by notable scholars from a variety of disciplines deals with different aspects of the history and culture of the Greek island of Aegina in the fifth century BC. The island is well known as the home of magnificent architecture and sculpture; as the patron of impressive lyric poetry composed by Pindar and his contemporaries; and, from the pages of Herodotus, as a significant trading power, and military threat to her great neighbour Athens. The book brings together experts on choral lyric poetry, myth, art-history, and historiography, with the aim of offering a broad view of the island's significance in some of the major trends in fifth-century Greek history and culture, and situating the island's patronage of some of the greatest Classical poets within broader cultural and historical frames.

English | ISBN: 0691113653 | 2003 | 224 pages | PDF | 11 MB
How do the places we live in and visit shape our lives and memories? What does it mean to reside in different locations across the span of a life?

Free Download Michael Sappol, "A Traffic of Dead Bodies: Anatomy and Embodied Social Identity in Nineteenth-Century America"
English | ISBN: 0691118752 | 2004 | 448 pages | PDF | 61 MB
A Traffic of Dead Bodies enters the sphere of bodysnatching medical students, dissection-room pranks, and anatomical fantasy. It shows how nineteenth-century American physicians used anatomy to develop a vital professional identity, while claiming authority over the living and the dead. It also introduces the middle-class women and men, working people, unorthodox healers, cultural radicals, entrepreneurs, and health reformers who resisted and exploited anatomy to articulate their own social identities and visions.
