The Breakfast Club John Hughes Hollywood and the Golden Age of the Teen Film

The Breakfast Club is a quintessential teen film. This book analyzes how multiple factors coalesced to solidify the status of The Breakfast Club as one of the most emblematic films of the 1980s and one of the most definitive teen films of the genre. The film brings together genre-defining elements – the conflicts between generations and peer pressure archetypical characters and breaking down stereotypes the celebration and survival of adolescence and the importance of this time in life on the coming-of-age process – and became a significant moment for John Hughes as an auteur and for teen films in the 1980s. More than just embodying these elements of the genre filmmaker Hughes and the Brat Pack stars helped introduce and popularize multiple generic features that would come to be expected with the teen film formula. The content of the film combined with its context of production in the middle of a boom in teen filmmaking in Hollywood. Meanwhile the marketing that focused on contemporary music peer group dynamics and oppositions between Generation X and baby boomers merged with an enthusiastic reception by youth audiences. Its endurance speaks to the way the film’s level of importance as a critical commercial and influential film with tremendous impact has grown since its initial debut. | The Breakfast Club John Hughes Hollywood and the Golden Age of the Teen Film

Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football Comparative Responses across Europe

As football clubs have become luxury investments their decisions increasingly mirror those of any other business organisation. Football supporters have been encouraged to express their club loyalty by ‘thinking business’ - acting as consumers and generating money deemed necessary for their clubs to compete at the highest levels. In critical studies supporters have been portrayed as passive or reluctant consumers who imprisoned by enduring club loyalties embody a fatalistic attitude to their own exploitation. As this book aims to show however such expressions of loyalty are far from hegemonic and often interface haphazardly with traditional ideas about what constitutes the ‘loyal fan’. While there is little doubt that professional football is experiencing commodification the reality is that football clubs are not simply businesses nor can they ever aspire to be organisations driven solely by expanding or protecting economic value. Rather clubs hover uncertainly between being businesses and community assets. Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football explores the implications of this uncertainty for understanding supporter resistance to and compromise with commodification. Every club and its supporters exist in their own unique national and local contexts. In this respect this book offers a Euro-wide comparison of supporter reactions to commercialisation and provides unique insight into how football supporters actively mediate regional local and national contexts as they intersect with the universalistic presumptions of commerce. This book was previously published as a special issue of Soccer and Society. | Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football Comparative Responses across Europe

Thomas Hardy Remembered

Thomas Hardy Remembered assembles some 150 annotated interviews and recollections of Hardy most of which are being reprinted for the first time. They range from close personal reflections by old friends such as Sir George Douglas J. M. Barrie and Edmund Gosse to fleeting glimpses by strangers who saw Hardy at a London party or at his club. Martin Ray has selected items having the greatest literary or biographical significance and annotated them with meticulous accuracy and a keen eye for the telling detail. As a result the volume will be an invaluable resource to scholars who are interested not only in what concerned Hardy personally and professionally but also in how he was perceived by others. Having these items collected in one volume reveals Hardy's contemporaneous opinions about his own writings and also makes it possible to trace the marked recurrence over time of certain preoccupations: ancient families Hardy's hostility to reviewers architecture Roman relics Wessex folklore and dialect animal welfare Napoleon and hangings. With regard to his literary career a portrait emerges of Hardy as the scrupulous professional properly aware of his commercial rights while at the same time appearing to some who met him unconscious of his own genius.

Masculinities and Desire A Deleuzian Encounter

Masculinities and Desire considers the question of male subjectivity in relation to Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of desire. Western tradition has thought of desire from the vantage point of masculine subjectivity; what happens when the order is reversed and desire speaks through masculinity? Can masculinity be conceived beyond the gender binary and thus affirm its potential to transcend the patriarchal order? In answer Masculinities and Desire calls for a radically new approach to traditional cultural criticism. Contributing a critical male perspective the book sheds new light on the conceptual and ethical limits of established representational (gender) criticism. Reflecting on masculinity with Deleuze the book explores what happens to the masculine subject in his becoming-minoritarian and thus emerging as a work of desire. Wojtaszek examines the confining representations of masculinity in realms long associated with men such as violence virulent psychosis metaphysical cannibalism and virtualization. Inspired by Deleuze’s appeal for immanence Wojtaszek argues that films including American Psycho Fight Club Becoming John Malkovich and The Matrix are adventures of deterritorialization that imaginatively tackle various masculinities affirming their creative resistance and reinvention of subjectivity. Desire is revealed to be a powerful catalyst for escaping the regime of patriarchal representation. | Masculinities and Desire A Deleuzian Encounter

Goth Music From Sound to Subculture

Is goth music a genre and if so how does it relate to the goth subculture? The music played at goth club nights and festivals encompasses a broad range of musical substyles from gloomy Batcave reverberations to neo-medieval bagpipe drones and from the lush vocals of goth metal to the harsh distortion of goth industrial. Goth Music: From Sound to Subculture argues that within this variegated musical landscape a number of key consistencies exist. Not only do all these goth substyles share a number of musical and textual characteristics but more importantly these aspects of the music are constitutive of goth social reality. Drawing on their own experiences in the European and American goth scenes the authors explore the ways in which the sounds of goth inform the scene’s listening practices its fantasies of other worlds and its re-enchantment of their own world. Goth music this book asserts engenders a musical timespace of its own a musical chronotope that is driven by nostalgic yearning. Goth Music: From Sound to Subculture reorients goth subcultural studies onto music: goth music must be recognized not only as simultaneously diverse and consistent but also as the glue that holds together goth scenes from all over the world. It all starts with the music. | Goth Music From Sound to Subculture

Social Closure and International Society Status Groups from the Family of Civilised Nations to the G20

Laying the foundations of a theory of ‘international social closure’ this book examines how actors compete for a seat at the table in the management of international society and how that competition stratifies the international domain. In a broad historical survey from the ‘Family of Civilised Nations’ through the Great Powers’ club to the G7 and G20 today Naylor investigates the politics of membership in the exclusive clubs that manage international society and ensure its survival providing us with a new way to think about how status competition has changed over time and what this means for international politics today.

Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

The Romantic age though often associated with free erotic expression was ambivalent about what if anything sex had to do with the public sphere. Late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century British texts often repressed the very sexual energies they claimed to be bringing into the open. The delineation of what could and could not be said and done in the name of physical pleasure was of a piece with the capitalist consecration of the social trust to the individual profit-motive. Both these practices moreover presupposed a determinate self with sovereignty over its own interests. Writings from and about some nominally public institutions were thus characterized by privatism—a sexual economic and ontological withdrawal from otherness. Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing: A Public of One explores how this threefold ideology was both propagated and resisted wittingly and unwittingly successfully and unsuccessfully in such Romantic publics as rape-law sodomy-law adultery-law high-profile scandals the population debates and club-culture. It includes readings of imaginative literature by William Beckford William Blake Erasmus Darwin Mary Hays Percy Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft; works of political economy by Jeremy Bentham William Cobbett William Godwin William Hazlitt and Thomas Robert Malthus; as well as contemporary legal treatises popular journalism and satirical pamphlets. | Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

The Outlaw Biker Legacy of Violence

Outlaw bikers represent a very small percentage of motorcycle riders who join motorcycle clubs but they receive disproportionate attention due to their mystique unconventional behavior and violence. Although the outlaw biker phenomenon started in the United States it has since spread throughout the world. The involvement of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) in organized crime at the local regional national and transnational levels fosters violence that puts innocent persons at risk for death or injury and leads to the demonization of “bikers” and the overcriminalization of motorcycle enthusiasts and club members. The Outlaw Biker Legacy of Violence written by internationally known expert Thomas Barker addresses the legacy of violence in the outlaw biker culture and tackles the implications of the violence that progressed as outlaw biker clubs evolved into adult criminal gangs engaged in crimes for profit over long periods of time and across borders. Beginning with a history of outlaw bikers and the construction of the “folk devil” of the biker the book outlines the distinctions between conventional motorcycle clubs Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and then traces the expansion of these groups across the globe. This book will be relevant to those interested in the examination or investigation of biker gangs in particular or organized criminal groups in general. It is essential reading for criminal justice students and others studying social groups gangs and organizations or the sociology of deviance and is also relevant for law enforcement professionals dealing with these organizations

A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching

While the popularity of golf is coming under increased pressure it continues to hook millions of players. However the complexity of the game and the extremely high level of precision required to hit the ball consistently well means that it is a game that is difficult to even become ‘good’ at let alone master. Consequently irrespective of whether the player is a weekend golfer a club member or a tour professional the search for the key to playing good golf feeds an insatiable desire for ideas and tips to improve golf performance and bring one’s handicap down. However traditional coaching with its primary focus on developing the perfect swing is not leading to a reduction in handicaps and the time is ripe for a new approach. This book aims to fill this void and is a landmark text for golf coaches and players about applying a constraints-led approach (CLA) to golf coaching. In this book two golf coaches Pete Arnott and Graeme McDowall talk to Ian Renshaw to demonstrate how their practice is driven and inspired by their alignment to a CLA. A Constraints-Led Approach to Golf Coaching includes case studies and examples of how constraints are manipulated to induce adaption in the technical tactical (or put in golf terms course management) physiological and psychological development mechanisms needed to improve at golf. Examples cover coaching from their work with beginners high handicappers aspirant tour players and elite players looking to make the ‘tour’.

Healthy Stadia An Insight from Policy to Practice

Public health is a key priority for developed and developing nations. Indeed many countries have sought strategies to promote health and reduce health inequalities.

Alongside this sport has received increasing pressure to consider its social role within the societies and communities in which it operates. Healthy Stadia is a European focused initiative with lessons relevant for global audiences to develop: (i) healthier stadium environments for fans and non-matchday visitors (e. g. smoke-free environments) (ii) healthier club workforces (e. g. bike to work schemes) and (iii) healthier populations in local communities (e. g. child obesity interventions). This book outlines lessons and insight from practitioners and empirical research for those seeking to learn and research stadia as a settings approach to health promotion. The areas covered include: practical considerations for health promotion in sports stadia; empirical research on the sports stadia as a setting for public health promotion; research on physical activity and health promotion programmes delivered by the outward facing community trusts attached to sports clubs; an analysis of the policy considerations for health promotion by sports clubs in school based settings and critical insight and discussion surrounding the use of physical activity and sport interventions to promote physical activity and public health.

Baroque Lorca An Archaist Playwright for the New Stage

Baroque Lorca: An Archaist Playwright for the New Stage defines Federico García Lorca’s trajectory in the theater as a lifelong search for an audience. It studies a wide range of dramatic writings that Lorca created for the theater in direct response to the conditions of his contemporary industry and situates the theory and praxis of his theatrical reform in dialogue with other modernist renovators of the stage. This book makes special emphasis on how Lorca engaged with the tradition of Spanish Baroque in particular with Cervantes and Calderón to break away from the conventions of the illusionist stage. The five chapters of the book analyze Lorca’s different attempts to change the dynamics of the Spanish stage from 1920 to his assassination in 1936: His initial incursions in the arenas of symbolist and historical drama (The Butterfly’s Evil Spell Mariana Pineda); his interest in puppetry (The Billy-Club Puppets and In the Frame of Don Cristóbal) and the two ‘human’ farces The Shoemaker’s Prodigious Wife and The Love of Don Perlimplín and Belisa in the Garden; the central piece in his project of ‘impossible’ theater (The Public); his most explicitly political play one that takes the violence to the spectators’ seats (The Dream of Life); and his three plays adopting an altering the contemporary formula of ‘rural drama’ (Blood Wedding Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba).
