Manufacturing Discontent: The Trap of Individualism in Corporate Society

Michael Perelman


Manufacturing Discontent: The Trap of Individualism in Corporate Society Michael Perelman Corporate power has a huge impact on the rights and privileges of individuals -- as workers, consumers, and citizens. This book explores how the myth of individualism reinforces corporate power by making people perceive themselves as having choices, when in fact most peoples' options are very limited. Perelman describes the manufacture of unhappiness - the continual generation of dissatisfaction with products people are encouraged to purchase and quickly discard - and the complex techniques corporations employ to avoid responsibility and accountability to their workers, consumers and the environment. He outlines ways in which individuals can surpass individualism and instead work together to check the growing power of corporations. While other books have surveyed the corporate landscape, or decried modern consumerism, Perelman, a professor of economics, places these ideas within a proper economic and historical context. He explores the limits of corporate accountability and... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Corporate power has a huge impact on the rights and privileges of individuals -- as workers, consumers, and citizens.

Thomas Demand

Roxana Marcoci, Thomas Demand, Jeffrey Eugenides


Thomas Demand Roxana Marcoci, Thomas Demand, Jeffrey Eugenides German artist Thomas Demand occupies a singular position in the world of photography. Initially he took up photography to record his ephemeral paper constructions, but in 1993 he turned the tables by making constructions in order to photograph them. Demand begins by translating a preexisting image, usually culled from the media, into a life-size model he makes out of colored paper and cardboard. He recreates a room, a parking lot, a staircase, a landscape--then he photographs the model and destroys it. Demand's photographs appear at once compellingly real and strangely artificial. Since their subjects--handcrafted facsimiles of both architectural spaces and natural environments--are themselves built in the image of other images, the photographs are three times removed from the scenes they seek to depict. Combining craftsmanship and conceptualism in equal parts, Demand pushes the medium of photography toward uncharted frontiers. Given the cinematic quality of many of his photographs,... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин German artist Thomas Demand occupies a singular position in the world of photography.

Когда я стану королевой

Вибеке Арильдсен


Когда я стану королевой Вибеке Арильдсен МИК. Роман Вибеки Арильдсен МИК. Роман Вибеки Арильдсен "Когда я стану королевой" обращен в первую очередь к молодежи. Книга повествует всего лишь об одном годе из жизни датской королевы Софии - от сватовства короля Фредерика и до ее собственного коронования. В книге живо, с юмором и одновременно трогательно рассказывается о том, как с точки зрения современного человека, могла себя чувствовать девочка-подросток перед лицом серьезных взрослых обстоятельств. Брак Фредерика и Софии считается самым счастливым династическим браком в датской истории. Король явно любил в свою королеву. София платила ему ответным чувством. И это, несмотря на большую разницу в возрасте: 38 и 14 лет. Кроме того, автор с удовольствием описывает культуру быта, нравы той эпохи. Подробно переданы детали одежды, предметы обихода. Колоритно переданы разгульные застолья с обилием изысканных блюд. Чувствуется, что писательница подробно изучала все описываемые ею детали, а также документы, письма, в том числе самой Софии Мекленбургской....
