Webber 1996 | 392 Pages | ISBN: 0198159048 | PDF | 20 MB Ever since its literary coinage in Jean Paul's novel, Siebenkä (1796), the concept of Doppelgänger has had significant influence upon representations of the self in German literature.

The Crimmigrant Other: Migration and Penal Power By Katja Franko 2020 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 1138545961 | PDF | 4 MB Western societies areimmersed in debates about immigration and illegality. This book examines these processes and outlines how the figure of the "crimmigrant other" has emerged not only as a central object of media and political discourse, but also as a distinct penal subject connecting migration and the logic of criminalization and insecurity. Illegality defines not only a quality of certain acts, but becomes an existential condition, which shapes the daily lives of large groups within the society. Drawing on rich empirical material from national and international contexts, Katja Franko outlines the social production of the crimmigrant other as a multi-layered phenomenon that is deeply rooted in the intricate connections between law, scientific knowledge, bureaucratic practices, politics and popular discourse.

Himadeep Muppidi, "The Colonial Signs of International Relations" English | 2012 | ISBN: 0231701225, 184904015X | PDF | pages: 198 | 5.4 mb Himadeep Muppidi traces the subtle influence of colonial forms of knowledge on modern schools of international relations, following the translation and transformation of this knowledge within postcolonial settings. Concentrating on the way in which individuals and institutions read their historical past in light of contemporary criticisms and concerns, Muppidi finds that certain methods for discussing or representing the colonized have become acceptable while others have been condemned. Both, however, can be equally colonial in intent and purpose, and the difference in their reception lies in the "processes of translation" that make one visible, the other invisible, and ultimately maintain the framework of a global colonial order.

The Audience Commodity in a Digital Age: Revisiting a Critical Theory of Commercial Media By Vincent Manzerolle (editor), Lee McGuigan (editor) 2014 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 1433123606 | PDF | 13 MB This edited collection comprises foundational texts and new contributions that revisit the theory of the «audience commodity» as first articulated by Dallas Smythe. Contributors focus on the historical and theoretical importance of this theory to critical studies of media/communication, culture, society, economics, and technology - a theory that has underpinned critical media studies for more than three decades, but has yet to be compiled in a single edited collection. The primary objective is to appraise its relevance in relation to changes in media and communication since the time of Smythe's writing, principally addressing the rise of digital, online, and mobile media. In addition to updating this perspective, contributors confront the topic critically in order to test its limits. Contextualizing theories of the audience commodity within an intellectual history, they consider their enduring relationship to the field of media/communication studies as well as the important legacy of Dallas Smythe.
