This book covers the USA around 2000 through the lens of cultural studies books events exhibitions and places of learning are seen as mirrors of an affluent selfsufficient at least apparently harmonic society just before the collapse of the markets and the 911 tragedy America seemed to be unaware of what history had in place for her The country was coming to terms with its past looking favorably towards the future and waiting for even better times ahead This book explores movies from Spike Lees to Stanley Kubricks cities from Atlantic City to Philadelphia minorities from the Jews of New York to the Hutterites public figures from Albert Hirschman to David Landes Fragments of the cultural and intellectual scene of the end of the century are captured in order to provide a balanced critical view of those happy days before major challenges struck and set in motion an apparently motionless America Contrary to Francis Fukuyama the author of this book thinks that history will never stand still for good and for evil An original and pathbreaking work which follows and reinvent a long tradition of Italian writers attracted by contemporary USA from Vittorini to Calvino from Luigi Barzini jr to Arbasino with a keen eye on major and minor themes as well Sergio Romano

Explore tips, opinions, and features on The Culture Cult Designer Tribalism sold at 57.5 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
The Culture Cultis an acerbic critique of that longing widespread in society today to retreat from civilization From Rousseau and the Noble Savage to modern defenders of ethnicity such as Isaiah Berlin and Karl Polanyi a prominent intellectual tradition has overromanticized the virtues of tribal life In contrast another tradition represented by Karl Popper Michael Polanyi and Ernest Gellner defends modern values and civil society The Culture Cult discusses both sides of this divide between culture and civilization and between closed and open societies The romantic insistence on the superiority of the primitive is increasingly grounded in a fictionalized picture of the pasta picture often created with the aid of wellmeaning but misguided anthropologists Such idealizations work to the detriment of the very people they are meant to help for they isolate minorities from such undeniable benefits of modern society as literacy and health care and discourage them from participating in modern life Few will find comfort in The Culture Cult but many will recognize a valuable criticism of currently popular social politics

Cargo cults have long exerted a remarkable attraction on Westerners and the last decade has seen the publication of much new work on the subject This collection of original essays is based on fieldwork in Melanesia Fiji Australia and Indonesia by scholars who are influential in the contemporary debate on cargo Conceived as a reader for undergraduate and graduate courses the volume offers an uptodate view of the subject and the debates it arouses among contemporary anthropologistsSome contributors plead for the abolition of cargo because of its troublesome implications but also because in the authors view cargo cults do not exist as identifiable objects of study Others argue that it is precisely this troublesome nature that makes the term a useful analytical tool that should be welcomed rather than rejected By delineating and substantiating key issues and positions in this lively and ongoing debate this volume underscores and refines the contemporary reevaluation of cargo cults Scholars of the Pacific region and others interested in new religious movements should find this volume both enlightening and compelling Contributors Nils Bubandt Vincent Crapanzano Douglas M Dalton Elfriede Hermann Holger Jebens Martha Kaplan KarlHeinz Kohl Stephen C Leavitt Lamont Lindstrom Ton Otto Joel Robbins Jaap Timmer Robert Tonkinson

America had a radically different relationship with drugs a century ago Drug prohibitions were few and while alcohol was considered a menace the public regularly consumed substances that are widely demonized today Heroin was marketed by Bayer Pharmaceuticals and marijuana was available as a tincture of cannabis sold by Parke Davis and CompanyExploring how this rather benign relationship with psychoactive drugs was transformed into one of confusion and chaos The Cult of Pharmacology tells the dramatic story of how as one legal drug after another fell from grace new pharmaceutical substances took their place Whether Valium or OxyContin at the pharmacy cocaine or meth purchased on the street or alcohol and tobacco from the corner store drugs and drug use proliferated in twentiethcentury America despite an escalating war on drugsRichard DeGrandpre a past fellow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and author of the bestselling book Ritalin Nation delivers a remarkably original interpretation of drugs by examining the seductive but illfated belief that they are chemically predestined to be either good or evil He argues that the determination to treat the medically sanctioned use of drugs such as Miltown or Seconal separately from the illicit use of substances like heroin or ecstasy has blinded America to how drugs are transformed by the manner in which a culture deals with themBringing forth a wealth of scientific research showing the powerful influence of social and psychological factors on how the brain is affected by drugs DeGrandpre demonstrates that psychoactive substances are not angels or demons irrespective of why how or by whom they are used The Cult of Pharmacology is a bold and necessary new account of Americas complex relationship with drugs
