Culture, Class, Distinction

Culture, Class, Distinction

Tony Bennett; Mike Savage; Elizabeth Bortolaia Silva; Alan Warde; Modesto Gayo-Cal; David Wright

Routledge
2008
sidottu
Choice Recommended Title, February 2010Culture, Class, Distinction is major contribution to international debates regarding the role of cultural capital in relation to modern forms of inequality. Drawing on a national study of the organisation of cultural practices in contemporary Britain, the authors review Bourdieu’s classic study of the relationships between culture and class in the light of subsequent debates. In doing so they re-appraise the relationships between class, gender and ethnicity, music, film, television, literary, and arts consumption, the organisation of sporting and culinary practices, and practices of bodily and self maintenance. As the most comprehensive account to date of the varied interpretations of cultural capital that have been developed in the wake of Bourdieu’s work, Culture, Class, Distinction offers the first systematic assessment of the relationships between cultural practice and the social divisions of class, gender and ethnicity in contemporary Britain. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationships between culture and society.

Modest Claims

Modest Claims

Adam Seligman

University of Notre Dame Press
2004
sidottu
Many of the critical political issues of our time—from the 1992–1995 Balkan Wars to the continuing crisis in the Middle East to the role of Muslim immigrants in Western Europe—revolve around issues of religion and tolerance. The predominant approach to these concerns is to espouse the doctrines of liberal humanistic virtue. These doctrines, however, fail to resonate in communities that maintain more traditional religious definitions of self and society. Modest Claims, which features essays by Seligman and dialogues between scholars representing the three monotheistic faiths, provides the beginnings of a very different set of arguments on tolerance and tradition. In so doing it seeks to uncover the sources of toleration and pluralism that exist within the traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Most contemporary approaches leave these sources largely unexplored and often marginalize them in current public debates and social agendas. Seligman and his dialogue partners seek to engage traditional understandings to uncover internal components that make dialogue between different religions and cultures possible. Espousing the idea of translation as a metaphor for the tolerant act, Modest Claims takes difference seriously as an aspect of existence that can be neither trivialized nor ignored. It explores and develops specifically religious arguments for tolerance and acceptance of others, as well as new strategies for understanding difference that are not rooted in individualist worldviews. This important and timely book breathes new life into the search for peace and toleration in an increasingly fractured world.

Modesty and Arrogance in Judgment

Modesty and Arrogance in Judgment

Barry Sharpe

Praeger Publishers Inc
1999
sidottu
Sharpe examines Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem as a case study of Arendt's theoretical work on judgment. In addition, he seeks to illustrate two dimensions of judgment: modesty—who am I to judge? and arrogance—how dare you judge me? He demonstrates the extent to which modesty and arrogance are linked with distance. The claims who am I to judge? and how dare you judge me? become questions of how much distance—in time, space, and imagination—is necessary or appropriate for judgment. Sharpe sees Eichmann as an unintentionally ironic demonstration of this feature of human interaction. Through his careful examination of Arendt's portrait of Adolf Eichmann and the Jewish Central Councils as well as by considering Eichmann in the context of Arendt's other work, Sharpe gives us a book that will be of great interest to scholars, students, and other researchers involved with contemporary political theory and Holocaust Studies.

Modest Musorgsky and Boris Godunov

Modest Musorgsky and Boris Godunov

Caryl Emerson; Oldani Robert William

Cambridge University Press
1994
sidottu
Caryl Emerson (a literary specialist) and Robert William Oldani (a music historian) take a new and comprehensive look at the most famous Russian opera, Modest Musorgsky’s Boris Godunov. The result is both a historical study of a famous work and an interpretative piece of scholarship. The topics discussed include: the ‘Boris Tale’ in history; Karamzin’s history and Pushkin’s drama as literary sources; Musorgsky’s innovations as a librettist and as a theorist of the sung Russian word; the strange story of the opera’s composition and revision; its first productions at home and abroad; and an in-depth musical analysis. In the process, several often-met errors in Musorgsky scholarship are clarified and corrected. A final chapter speculates on the opera’s themes of political murder, guilt, and legitimacy - so important to Russian literary and national identity in the 19th and 20th centuries - and the new role the ‘Boris plot’ and its composer might come to play in more recent phases of Russian cultural life. The volume contains a selection of classic texts in criticism, numerous production photographs, a bibliography and a discography.
