The ArtsNovember 2022In good taste
How Britain’s middle classes found their style
by Ben Highmore, Christopher Breward
In postwar Britain, journalists and politicians prophesised that the class system would not survive a consumer culture where everyone had TVs and washing machines, and where more and more people owned their own homes. They were to be proved entirely wrong. In good taste charts how class culture, rather than being destroyed by mass consumption, was remade from flat-pack furniture, Mediterranean cuisine and lifestyle magazines. Novelists, cartoonists and playwrights satirised the tastes of the emerging middle classes, and sociologists claimed that an entire population was suffering from status anxiety, but underneath it all, a world was being constructed out of duvets, quiches and mayonnaise, easy chairs from Habitat, white emulsion paint and ubiquitous well-scrubbed, second-hand pine kitchen tables. This was less a world of symbolic goods and more an intimate environment alive with new feelings and attitudes.

November 2020Empirische Ethik
Grundlagentexte aus Psychologie und Philosophie
by Norbert Paulo, Jan Christoph Bublitz
Seit der Jahrtausendwende vollzieht sich eine interessante Wiederannäherung von Moralphilosophie und Moralpsychologie. Die neue empirische Ethik greift auf Methoden und Erkenntnisse der Psychologie und der Neurowissenschaft zurück, um klassische Fragen der Ethik zu beantworten. Aber sie wirft auch ihrerseits Fragen auf: Welche Rolle spielen Emotionen und Intuitionen im moralischen Denken, und welche Rolle sollen sie spielen? Können Moraltheorien wie Tugendethik oder Deontologie durch empirische Befunde gestützt werden oder werden sie dadurch geschwächt? Der Band versammelt die zentralen, bislang nicht auf Deutsch zugänglichen Texte dieser Debatte, u. a. von Joshua Greene, Jonathan Haidt, Peter Singer und Sharon Street, und ergänzt sie durch vertiefende Originalbeiträge.

Film theory & criticismAugust 2003Defining cult movies
The cultural politics of oppositional taste
by Susan Wiliams
Concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. Raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to mainstream cinema and the processes of institutionalisation and classification. Claims that the history of academic film studies and that of cult movie fandom are inextricably intertwined and raises fundamental questions about both cult movies themselves, and film studies as a discipline. Updates work on cult movies at a time when cult films and TV have become a central part of contemporary culture. Ranges over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson's New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci fi flicks, as well investigations of Sharon Stone, 'underground' and trivia.

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 1994Italian women writing
by Sharon Wood
How has it happened that from being politely ignored or marginalized just half a century ago, women writers in Italy are now at the centre of literary activity? To what extent does writing by women reflect the successes and failures of Italy in the post-war period? What form did the feminist movement in Italy take, and how did this affect what - and how - women wrote? And how are women who write responding to a more fragmented post-modern age? These are just some of the questions asked of the relationship between women and fiction in post-war Italy in this anthology. It includes stories by Cialente, Ginzburg, Ortese, Morante, Romano, Maraini and Duranti as well as Bompiani, Sanvitale, Mizzau, Scaramuzzino, Capriolo and Petrignani. The thirteen stories presented offer a range of style and content indicative of the wealth and diversity of writing by women, and their reading is supported by critical notes and an extensive vocabulary. This is a clear and challenging introduction to the rich field of women and fiction in Italy. ;
