Material Masculinities examines the material and consumer practices of over 1000 men from the middling and upper ranks of eighteenth-century society, c.1650-1850. It draws upon evidence from over 35 archives and museum collections to detail how material objects were integral for men in forming identities and shaping experiences. For men of all social ranks, ages, and geographic locations, material knowledge was imperative for masculine social identities to operate in a commercial society. Before the centralised factory and widespread mass-produced goods, men personalised and repaired their goods; products were shaped by men's attitudes and concerns. Objects were tools in men's identity formation and the exercise of social and gendered power. There was a reciprocal relationship between men and goods in this period; men were active agents of material and commercial change driving product and aesthetic innovation.
The major temperate forage legumes are of global importance in the sustainable productivity of ruminant feed in the developed world. This book brings together in one volume all aspects of their basic biology and associated production practices. Emphasis is placed on the importance of understanding plant characteristics and their consequences in terms of forage output, quality and utilization by livestock. Recent research advances are reviewed and put into context and several recently commercialised species are also covered. The introduction considers the history, current extent, benefits and limits of temperate forage legume usage. Subsequent chapters are dedicated to a comprehensive examination of each forage species in turn, dealing with their origin, morphology, physiology, ecology, nitrogen-fixing capability, cultivars, seed production, nutritive value and productivity. The key factors for optimal management are identified and the prospects for the future outlined, including the potential arising from the use of biotechnology. This book is essential reading for degree and postgraduate students of plant science, agronomy and animal production. Additionally, students and researchers in ecology and environmental science will also find it a valuable resource. The management sections will be of particular value to grassland advisers, consultants and progressive land users.
Duschen, Radio an, Espressokanne auf den Herd, Kinder in die Kita, ab in die U-Bahn: Alle diese Handlungen, die wir für selbstverständlich halten, wären ohne komplexe Infrastruktur nicht möglich. Ähnliches gilt für Gesundheitsversorgung und Bildung, die ohne staatliche Investitionen in Gebäude und Personal nicht funktionieren würden. Doch in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten wurden in ganz Europa immer mehr Krankenhäuser, Schulen, Bahnstrecken oder gleich ganze Verkehrsnetze privatisiert und so der Profitlogik unterworfen – mit bisweilen dramatischen Folgen. Inzwischen wächst der Widerstand; in vielen Ländern formieren sich Bewegungen für eine Rekommunalisierung z. B. der Wasserversorgung. Was wir brauchen, so die Autorinnen und Autoren, ist eine neue, progressive Infrastrukturpolitik. Wir müssen die Ökonomie wieder als etwas begreifen, das zuallererst dem guten Leben der Bürgerinnen und Bürger verpflichtet ist.
Cinesonica: sounding film and video explores previously neglected and under-theorised aspects of film and video sound, drawing on detailed case study analyses of Hollywood cinema, art cinema, animated cartoons, and avant-garde film and video. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the soundtrack, and breaking away from the focus on narrative and signification that has tended to dominate the study of film sound, the book examines the way in which sound's materiality figures within audiovisual experience. Through a close examination of sound-image relations in a range of film and video forms and genres - including Warner Bros. cartoons, scratch video, and artist's film and video - Cinesonica recasts the film and video text as the meeting point of audio and visual materialities, cultural practices and perceptual activity. The interdisciplinary approach adopted by the book makes its discussion of sound of interest to those studying and working in a range of subject disciplines, including film studies, sound studies, sonic arts, cultural studies, music and art history.
