 Groove Tube: Sixties Television and the Youth Rebellion By Aniko Bodroghkozy 2001 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0822326566 | PDF | 3 MB Critics often claim that prime-time television seemed immune-or even willfully blind-to the landmark upheavals rocking American society during the 1960s. Groove Tube is Aniko Bodroghkozy's rebuttal of this claim. Filled with entertaining and enlightening discussions of popular shows of the time-such as The Monkees, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Mod Squad-this book challenges the assumption that TV programming failed to consider or engage with the decade's youth-lead societal changes. Bodroghkozy argues that, in order to woo an increasingly lucrative baby boomer audience, television had to appeal to the social and political values of a generation of young people who were enmeshed in the hippie counterculture, the antiwar movement, campus protests, urban guerilla action-in general, a culture of rebellion. She takes a close look at the compromises and negotiations that were involved in determining TV content, as well as the ideological difficulties producers and networks faced in attempting to appeal to a youthful cohort so disaffected from dominant institutions. While programs that featured narratives about hippies, draft resisters, or revolutionaries are examined under this lens, Groove Tube doesn't stop there: it also examines how the nation's rebellious youth responded to these representations. Bodroghkozy explains how, as members of the first "TV generation," some made sense of their societal disaffection in part through their childhood experience with this powerful new medium. Groove Tube will interest sociologists, American historians, students and scholars of television and media studies, and others who want to know more about the 1960s.

From lighthearted relationship speculations to analyses of deeper themes, Grey's Anatomy 101 gives new perspectives on all facets of the series. If Addison hadn't showed up, would Meredith and Derek have stayed together? How is Grey's Anatomy the first real 21st century show? Why is everything in Grey's Anatomy so, well, gray?

This serves as inspiration for building culturally sensitive adaptations to present and future calamities, to mitigate their impact, and facilitate recoveries.  Stephanie D. McCall, "Girls, Single-Sex Schools, and Postfeminist Fantasies " English | ISBN: 1138290416 | 2019 | 248 pages | PDF | 3 MB Bringing together feminist theory, girlhood studies, and curriculum theory, this book contributes an in-depth critical analysis of curriculum in single-gender schooling for girls in postfeminist landscapes of "unlimited choices" and resurgences of proper girlhood.

Germany's Covert War in the Middle East: Espionage, Propaganda and Diplomacy in World War I (International Library of Twentieth Century History) by Curt Prüfer 2018 | ISBN: 178453143X | English | 352 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Ultimately these cross purposes brought disaster, pulling a fatally weak and woefully unprepared Ottoman state into a global war, and unleashing vicious, internal ethnic repression that brought it defeat and dismemberment. The diaries and official reports of German spy and propagandist Curt Prufer - translated here into English in their entirety for the first time - chronicle the complexities of the fragile Ottoman-German alliance from the perspective of a participant. Much like fellow soldier-scholar T.E. Lawrence, Prufer and his colleagues tried to steal the loyalties of the Muslim subjects of the opposing sides. The book explores these episodes of sabotage, subversion and subterfuge - from managing spies to preparing for the attack on the Suez Canal in 1915 - and in the process sheds light onto the ways World War I played out across the Middle East. Complemented throughout by in-depth and meticulously researched footnotes, this primary source collection is an invaluable addition to the extant corpus of late Ottoman and World War I historical documents.
