Abstract

In Kindheit und Jugend ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit ästhetischen Darstellungs- und Wahrnehmungsweisen hochgradig relevant. Die Bedeutsamkeit ästhetischer Positionierungen - etwa durch die Wahl der Kleidung oder Accessoires, durch Make-up oder technische Geräte - kann einerseits als Anzeichen einer sehr erfolgreichen Kommerzialisierung von Kindheit und Jugend gedeutet werden. Andererseits zeugt sie aber auch von einem Gespür, mit dem sich Kinder und Jugendliche die Alltagswelt, in der sie leben, zu eigen machen. Um die sozialen Verhältnisse von Ästhetiken, Ökonomien und Generationenbeziehungen in den Blick zu nehmen, versammelt dieser interdisziplinäre Band Forschungsperspektiven zu Alltagsästhetiken in Kindheit und Jugend. »Anregende Annäherungen an die weite, transdisziplinäre Fragestellung.« Torsten Mergen, www.literaturkritik.de, 08.01.2018 Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 1 (2017)

Abstract

In private life, we try to induce or suppress love, envy, and anger through deep acting or "emotion work," just as we manage our outer expressions of feeling through surface acting. In trying to bridge a gap between what we feel and what we "ought" to feel, we take guidance from "feeling rules" about what is owing to others in a given situation. Based on our private mutual understandings of feeling rules, we make a "gift exchange" of acts of emotion management. We bow to each other not simply from the waist, but from the heart. But what occurs when emotion work, feeling rules, and the gift of exchange are introduced into the public world of work? In search of the answer, Arlie Russell Hochschild closely examines two groups of public-contact workers: flight attendants and bill collectors. The flight attendant's job is to deliver a service and create further demand for it, to enhance the status of the customer and be "nicer than natural." The bill collector's job is to collect on the service, and if necessary, to deflate the status of the customer by being "nastier than natural." Between these extremes, roughly one-third of American men and one-half of American women hold jobs that call for substantial emotional labor. In many of these jobs, they are trained to accept feeling rules and techniques of emotion management that serve the company's commercial purpose. Just as we have seldom recognized or understood emotional labor, we have not appreciated its cost to those who do it for a living. Like a physical laborer who becomes estranged from what he or she makes, an emotional laborer, such as a flight attendant, can become estranged not only from her own expressions of feeling (her smile is not "her" smile), but also from what she actually feels (her managed friendliness). This estrangement, though a valuable defense against stress, is also an important occupational hazard, because it is through our feelings that we are connected with those around us. On the basis of this book, Hochschild was featured in Key Sociological Thinkers, edited by Rob Stones. This book was also the winner of the Charles Cooley Award in 1983, awarded by the American Sociological Association and received an honorable mention for the C. Wright Mills Award.

Abstract

Partant de la remarque de G. Deleuze selon laquelle "l'argent est l'envers de toutes les images que le cinéma montre et monte à l'endroit", P. Szendy s'attache à retracer la généalogie de l'espace iconique contemporain, produit de la mise en circulation et de la marchandisation générale des images et des vues. Il cherche à établir une "iconomie générale" en s'appuyant sur des séquences de cinéma. ©Electre 2017 Ce qu’il s’agit d’analyser, d’ausculter, c’est ce que Walter Benjamin, en 1929 déjà, décrivait comme un espace chargé à cent pour cent d’images. Autrement dit : cette visibilité saturée qui nous arrive de partout, nous entoure et nous traverse aujourd’hui.Un tel espace iconique est le produit d’une histoire : celle de la mise en circulation et de la marchandisation générale des images et des vues. Il fallait ébaucher sa généalogie, depuis les premiers ascenseurs ou escalators (ces travellings avant la lettre) jusqu’aux techniques actuelles de l’oculométrie traquant les moindres saccades de nos yeux, en passant par le cinéma, grand chef d’orchestre des regards.Mais, sous-jacente à cette innervation du visible, il y a une économie propre aux images : ce qu’on tente d’appeler leur iconomie. Deleuze l’avait entrevue lorsqu’il écrivait, dans des pages inspirées par Marx : « l’argent est l’envers de toutes les images que le cinéma montre et monte à l’endroit ». Une phrase que l’on n’entendra dans toute sa portée ontologique qu’à condition de se souvenir que « cinéma » veut aussi dire ici : « l’univers ».C’est pourquoi, tout en se laissant guider par des séquences d’Hitchcock, de Bresson, d’Antonioni, de De Palma ou des Sopranos, ces pages voudraient frayer la voie qui conduit d’une iconomie restreinte à ce qu’on pourrait nommer, avec Bataille, une iconomie générale.

Abstract

This innovative and multi-layered study of the music and culture of Renaissance instrumentalists spans the early institutionalization of instrumental music from c.1420 to the rise of the basso continuo and newer roles for instrumentalists around 1600. Employing a broad cultural narrative interwoven with detailed case studies, close readings of eighteen essential musical sources, and analysis of musical images, Victor Coelho and Keith Polk show that instrumental music formed a vital and dynamic element in the artistic landscape, from rote function to creative fantasy. Instrumentalists occupied a central role in courtly ceremonies and private social rituals during the Renaissance, and banquets, dances, processions, religious celebrations and weddings all required their participation, regardless of social class. Instrumental genres were highly diverse artistic creations, from polyphonic repertories revealing knowledge of notated styles, to improvisation and flexible practices. Understanding the contributions of instrumentalists is essential for any accurate assessment of Renaissance culture. Offers a broad cultural study of instrumental music as woven into the social fabric of the Renaissance Case studies throughout provide snapshots of the significant events and personalities of Renaissance instrumental music Includes source-based and image-based studies of instrumental music to offer a wide range of contextual perspectives Written to appeal to a broad range of musicologists, Renaissance historians, and early music performers

Abstract

Scientific advances and economic forces have converged to create something unthinkable for much of human history: a robust market in human body products. Every year, countless Americans supply blood, sperm, and breast milk to "banks" that store these products for later use by strangers in routine medical procedures. These exchanges entail complicated questions. Which body products are donated and which sold? Who gives and who receives? And, in the end, who profits? In this eye-opening study, Kara Swanson traces the history of body banks from the nineteenth-century experiments that discovered therapeutic uses for body products to twenty-first-century websites that facilitate a thriving global exchange. More than a metaphor, the "bank" has shaped ongoing controversies over body products as either marketable commodities or gifts donated to help others. A physician, Dr. Bernard Fantus, proposed a "bank" in 1937 to make blood available to all patients. Yet the bank metaphor labeled blood as something to be commercially bought and sold, not communally shared. As blood banks became a fixture of medicine after World War II, American doctors made them a frontline in their war against socialized medicine. The profit-making connotations of the "bank" reinforced a market-based understanding of supply and distribution, with unexpected consequences for all body products, from human eggs to kidneys. Ultimately, the bank metaphor straitjacketed legal codes and reinforced inequalities in medical care. By exploring its past, Banking on the Body charts the path to a more efficient and less exploitative distribution of the human body's life-giving potential.
