Phantom Lady

Hollywood Producer Joan Harrison, the Forgotten Woman Behind Hitchcock

By: Christina Lane

Winner of the Mystery Writers of America's 2021 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Critical/Biographical In 1933, Joan Harrison was a twenty-six-year-old former salesgirl with a dream of escaping both her stodgy London suburb and the dreadful prospect of settling down with one of the local boys. A few short years later, she was Alfred Hitchcock's confidante and one of the Oscar-nominated screenwriters of his first American film, Rebecca. Harrison had quickly grown from being the worst secretary Hitchcock ever had to one of his closest collaborators, critically shaping his brand as the "Master of Suspense." Harrison went on to produce numerous Hollywood features before becoming a television pioneer as the producer of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. A respected powerhouse, she acquired a singular reputation for running amazingly smooth productions— and defying anyone who posed an obstacle. She built most of her films and series from the ground up. She waged rough-and-tumble battles against executives and censors, and even helped to break the Hollywood blacklist. She teamed up with many of the most respected, well-known directors, writers, and actors of the twentieth century. And she did it all on her own terms. Author Christina Lane shows how this stylish, stunning woman became Hollywood's most powerful female writer-producer—one whom history has since overlooked.

Gender, Subjectivity, and Cultural Work

The Classical Music Profession

Gender, Subjectivity, and Cultural Work

The Classical Music Profession

By: Christina Scharff

What is it like to work as a classical musician today? How can we explain ongoing gender, racial, and class inequalities in the classical music profession? What happens when musicians become entrepreneurial and think of themselves as a product that needs to be sold and marketed? Gender, Subjectivity, and Cultural Work explores these and other questions by drawing on innovative, empirical research on the working lives of classical musicians in Germany and the UK. Indeed, Scharff examines a range of timely issues such as the gender, racial, and class inequalities that characterise the cultural and creative industries; the ways in which entrepreneurialism – as an ethos to work on and improve the self – is lived out; and the subjective experiences of precarious work in so-called ‘creative cities’. Thus, this book not only adds to our understanding of the working lives of artists and creatives, but also makes broader contributions by exploring how precarity, neoliberalism, and inequalities shape subjective experiences. Contributing to a range of contemporary debates around cultural work, Gender, Subjectivity, and Cultural Work will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of Sociology, Gender and Cultural Studies.

Popular Culture in Everyday Life

A Critical Introduction

By: Charles Soukup,Christina R. Foust

An accessible and engaging introduction to the critical study of popular culture, which provides students with the tools they need to make sense of the popular culture that inundates their everyday lives. This textbook centers on media ecology and equipment for living to introduce students to important theories and debates in the field. Each chapter engages an important facet of popular culture, ranging from the business of popular culture to communities, stories, and identities, to the simulation and sensation of pop culture. The text explains key terms and features contemporary case studies throughout, examining aspects such as memes and trends on social media, cancel culture, celebrities as influencers, gamification, "meta" pop culture, and personalized on-demand music. The book enables students to understand the complexity of power and influence, providing a better understanding of the ways pop culture is embedded in a wide range of everyday activities. Students are encouraged to reflect on how they consume and produce popular culture and understand how that shapes their sense of self and connections to others. Essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of media studies, communication studies, cultural studies, popular culture, and other related subjects.

Social Security in the Global Village

Social Security in the Global Village

By: Christina Behrendt

There is growing recognition that globalization places major pressures on the development of social security schemes. Internationalization of the economy has important consequences for labor markets: employment is becoming less secure and inequality and social exclusion more pronounced in many countries. At the same time, there are some fundamental socio-demographic changes: new family structures, an aging population, and migration. Increased uncertainty and exclusion intensify the need for social security. Both the public and private sectors are redefining their roles, reshuffling responsibilities between states, markets, families, and individuals. Social Security in the Global Village investigates the new challenges for social security in an increasingly globalized world and analyzes strategies of adjustment. A group of internationally renowned experts in this field assess the variety of effects that globalization has had on national social security schemes. A common theme of a first set of chapters is the relationship between common pressures of globalization and the role of national institutional frameworks in shaping the impact of these pressures on social security. Countries are dealing in different ways with these challenges and follow diverse pathways of adjustment that quite often contradict widespread assumptions about the effects of globalization. A second set of chapters is devoted to challenges in selected policy areas: migration, labor markets, and social cohesion issues. Among the topical issues discussed are the social rights of migrants, the changing rights and obligations in unemployment insurance, lessons to be drawn for the promotion of employment, the relationship between family policy and employment policy for mothers, the management of social risks, and the protection of an adequate income in an active welfare state. Research can help to enlighten and inform the policy debate about the legitimacy of social security in the new, glob

The Globalisation of Intercultural Education

The Politics of Macro-Micro Integration

By: Christina Hajisoteriou,Panayiotis Angelides

This book examines the intersection of globalisation and intercultural education by focusing on the trajectory of education policy: from development to adoption and implementation.The centrality of the nation-state has been constrained by a wide range of new socio-cultural, political and economic phenomena over the past decade such as globalisation, Europeanisation, modernisation, and global recession. The main implications of these developments have only just begun to unfold, and continue to be debated by policy-makers, academics, and educators. However, it is widely accepted that global socio-political and economic developments have allowed supranational institutions, functioning across nation states rather than within them, to perform many state functions with regards to education policy development and implementation. Yet, much remains unknown (and under-researched) about the impact of these still-nascent developments on the trajectory of intercultural education. This book sets out to fill in this gap by examining the intersection of globalisation and intercultural education through macro-micro integration. After all, for modern societies to establish social cohesion, education research should examine issues of citizenship, democracy, and intercultural education under the lens of globalisation.

Etiology

By: Christina L. Ross, PhD, BCPP

What is disease? Why do we get sick? Etiology is a groundbreaking work in the field of disease causation. Author Christina Ross, PhD, is a board-certified Polarity Practitioner and biophysicist who studies inflammatory response which she believes is the cause of all physical illness. Disease, Dr. Ross explains, begins long before biochemical imbalances occur in our physical body. Disease begins at the spiritual level, at the very essence of our being, and evolves through our mind and emotions before it is established in our body. Etiology is a study on how to detect disease before it manifests as chronic or incurable. Ross empowers the reader by providing research-based complementary and alternative medicine options, encouraging involvement in one's own healing process.

Blennerhassett Island

By: Ray Swick,Christina Little

Images of America: Blennerhassett Island reveals for the first time the pictorial past of the Ohio River's most famous island. Located one-and-a-half miles west of Parkersburg, West Virginia, it sprang into national fame two centuries ago as the headquarters of Aaron Burr's 1806-1807 conspiracy to create an empire in the Southwest. The island also was renowned as the site of the American West's most beautiful home: the legendary Blennerhassett Mansion, completed in 1800 only to be destroyed by fire 11 years later. This volume's more than 200 fascinating pictures--most never published before--will take the reader on an exciting adventure through time, beginning with the island's glamorous Burr/Blennerhassett years; through its 19th century steamboat era; and into the 20th century, when it became the playground of the Mid-Ohio Valley. The final images portray the 1980 creation of Blennerhassett Island as a popular West Virginia state park with the reconstructed Blennerhassett Mansion as its centerpiece.

By: Christina G. L. Nerstad,Ingvild M. Seljeseth,Astrid M. Richardsen,Cary L Cooper,Philip J. Dewe,Michael P. O′Driscoll

What price do organizations and nations pay for a poor fit between employees and their work environments? Negative stress imposes a high cost on individual health and well-being as well as organizational health and productivity. This comprehensive textbook examines the definitions of job-related stress and the methods used to assess levels and consequences of occupational stress, along with strategies that may be used by individuals and organizations to confront negative stress and its associated problems. From sources of stress to organizational interventions, and from job-related burnout to coping with stress, Organizational Stress gives the reader – whether researcher, student, or practitioner – a basis for tailoring work environments which contribute to the health and well-being of individuals, organizations, and even the societies in which they live. This new edition has been updated to reflect the most relevant research in the field of organisational stress, including a completely new chapter on stress and the brain. It also focusses on the future of work in our rapidly changing world – dealing with contemporary contexts such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of the gig economy. Christina G.L.

Choreographie als Kulturtechnik

Neue Perspektiven

Der Begriff der Choreographie erfährt zurzeit eine bemerkenswerte interdisziplinäre Ausweitung: Choreographie wird als qualitative Instanz für die Analyse verschiedenster kultureller, gesellschaftlicher und ästhetischer Praktiken und Lebensformen verwandt und erscheint im Licht einer Kulturtechnik. Dabei markiert Choreographie diejenige Instanz, die chaotische und unübersichtliche Bewegungsformen in den Fluss bringen, ordnen und regulieren kann. Choreographie erhält geradezu eine kulturstiftende Dimension, die sie als Kulturtechnik zu denken gibt. Welches Potenzial birgt ein Verständnis von Choreographie als Kulturtechnik? Welche kulturprägenden Optionen liegen in der Kunst des Choreographischen und was bedeutet dies für den Begriff der Choreographie, der eng mit den Potenzialen des Körpers korreliert? Vor diesem Hintergrund eröffnet der Band eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den Funktionen, Potenzialen, Zuschreibungen und Versprechungen von Choreographie. Aus kulturtheoretischer und -soziologischer, tanz-, theater-, medien- und kunstwissenschaftlicher Perspektive werden ästhetische und kulturelle Tragweiten von Choreographie diskutiert und im Kontext von Szenographien, Erinnerungstechniken, Ausstellungskonzeptionen, Museums-Events, autobiographischen Entwürfen, Gesellschaftsformationen, Aufführungsästhetiken und digitalen Tools untersucht. Auf der Grundlage ihrer strukturellen Gefüge, die medial durch Notationen, scores und Handlungsanweisungen vermittelt sind, bringen Choreographien Formen und Gestalten hervor. Ihnen kommt dabei eine ästhetische und kulturelle Funktion der Ordnungsstiftung zu. Außerdem scheint ihre Kunst eine geradezu transformatorische Organisationskraft zu besitzen, die es versteht, mit energetischen Kräften zwischen Körpern, Räumen und Zeiten 'gliedernd' zu wirken. Choreographie erscheint mitunter sogar als eine kulturprägende Instanz, die mit einer Gabe der Selbstorganisation fern subjektzentrierter Einflussnahme ausgestattet ist. Mit Beiträgen von Jörn Ahrens, Lisa Beißwanger, Hartmut Böhme, Gerko Egert, Susanne Foellmer, Sabine Huschka, Bojana Kunst, Kirsten Maar, Sebastian Matthias, Katja Schneider, Gerald Siegmund, Christina Thurner und Birgit Wiens.
