Convenience Stores as Social Spaces - Cosima Werner - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Convenience Stores as Social Spaces - Cosima Werner - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Liquor, tobacco, processed food, and sugary snacks: this is the range of products in convenience stores, which dominate the retail landscape in impoverished neighborhoods in the United States. Using ethnographic research conducted in Chicago and Detroit, in Convenience Stores as Social Spaces: Trust and Community in Deprived Neighborhoods in the U.S., Cosima Werner examines the contested meanings of such stores and the ways in which they are construed as social spaces within these neighborhoods. At first glance, convenience stores appear to be the opposite of social spaces: cameras capture every interaction of shoppers, security personnel keep their eye on suspicious behavior, and bulletproof glass may even separate the employees from the clientele. Although many security measures, language barriers, and cultural differences are obstacles to building trust, trustful relationships are essential for many shoppers to have access to resources such as loans, food, drinks, or information to make ends meet. Drawing on concepts of trust and mistrust that are inherent in social atmospheres and looking at relations between various people and their practices, this book analyzes the various meanings of convenience stores as social spaces.

Japanese Mythology in Film - Yoshiko Okuyama - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Japanese Mythology in Film - Yoshiko Okuyama - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

A cyborg detective hunts for a malfunctioning sex doll that turns itself into a killing machine. A Heian-era Taoist slays evil spirits with magic spells from yin-yang philosophy. A young mortician carefully prepares bodies for their journey to the afterlife. A teenage girl drinks a cup of life-giving sake, not knowing its irreversible transformative power. These are scenes from the visually enticing, spiritually eclectic media of Japanese movies and anime. The narratives of courageous heroes and heroines and the myths and legends of deities and their abodes are not just recurring motifs of the cinematic fantasy world. They are pop culture’s representations of sacred subtexts in Japan. Japanese Mythology in Film takes a semiotic approach to uncovering such religious and folkloric tropes and subtexts embedded in popular Japanese movies and anime.Part I introduces film semiotics with plain definitions of terminology. Through familiar cinematic examples, it emphasizes the myth-making nature of modern-day film and argues that semiotics can be used as a theoretical tool for reading film. Part II presents case studies of eight popular Japanese films as models of semiotic analysis. While discussing each film’s use of common mythological motifs such as death and rebirth, its case study also unveils more covert cultural signifiers and folktale motifs, including jizo (a savior of sentient beings) and kori (bewitching foxes and raccoon dogs), hidden in the Japanese filmic text.

Bourbon Street, B-Drinking, and the Sexual Economy of Tourism - Angela R. Demovic - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Bourbon Street, B-Drinking, and the Sexual Economy of Tourism - Angela R. Demovic - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

B-drinking is a strategy whereby dancers, waitresses, and otherwise legally employed women illegally solicit drinks from tourists for pay. Unique to the ethnographic literature on strip clubs, Bourbon Street, B-Drinking, and the Sexual Economy of Tourism focuses on the role of alcohol sales in the sexual economy of Bourbon Street, New Orleans. Relying on historical material, Demovic reveals that the intimate encounters B-girls have provided have been a part of the tourism service economy since the beginning of the twentieth century. The evolution of “B-girldom” as an imagined identity created through changing representations of the practice over the decades have both reflected and constructed the experiences of women working in New Orleans’ nightclubs. The B-drinker is an iconic character found in fictional and nonfictional accounts of the city. B-girls inhabit an ambiguous structural position in the performance of heritage tourism in New Orleans. Participant observation and interviews reveal that by the 1990s women who worked as B-drinkers were significant stakeholders in French Quarter tourism, able to use their informal networks to seize power over working conditions in the tourism economy of Bourbon Street. Demovic focuses on how these marginalized but critical workers have responded to stigma by creating tight knit groups which continue to support one another decades after leaving their work on Bourbon Street. This book adds the New Orleans example to a broader understanding of how sex work evolves in ways that reflect regional history and culture. Widening the ethnographic lens, Demovic looks past strip tease itself and to the economic activities of such workers when they are off the stage.

A Century of American Steel - Kenneth Warren - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

A Century of American Steel - Kenneth Warren - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The steel industry provides much of the material basis for modern civilisation. Although its end products are numerous, the largest sector of the industry is involved in the production of wide strip. This is used by countless other industries to make a range of products from automobile bodies, and the cases of domestic appliances, to metal furniture and cans for the preservation of foodstuffs and drinks. A hundred years ago sheet steel was made in labor-intensive operations by a large number of small rolling mills. This is an account of how this relatively backward part of the industry was transformed by the invention and industrial application of a revolutionary new technology. In the hot strip mill a slab of steel was passed through a series of rolls to be reduced into a continuous band of wide strip, which was then shipped either as coils or cut into sheets. The introduction of the wide continuous hot strip mill began to concentrate the sheet and tin plate industry into much bigger operations complete with iron making, steel works, rolling mills and finishing plant. New companies rose to prominence; some old industry leaders fell behind. Many former locations for sheet manufacture were abandoned, but other old plants and companies re-equipped and survived. Major producers of other products entered the new trade. Less than thirty years ago another major change began when electric arc steel furnace operators began to install strip mills and the trade of the now rather inappropriately named `mini-mill` grew rapidly at the expense of the longer established iron—open hearth steel—primary rolling mill—strip mill industry. Now, as its centenary approaches, the strip mill sector is still undergoing major changes. This book surveys the growth, structure and changes in this dominant part of the steel industry. The strip mill has transformed steel world-wide, but in its origins and development it has above all been a distinctively American achievement.
