The Exercise Of Soft Power U.S. Self-Imaging In International Broadcasting To Iran

de Yasmin Djabarian

65,26€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 While imagological works in the field of American Studies have traditionally focused on the construction of America by outsiders, this study takes a new approach by examining U.S. self-imaging efforts in the context of U.S. international broadcasting to Iran. The author traces the history of the Voice of Americas Persian Service and illustrates its conflict-prone organizational framework and modus operandi by considering legal documents, government reports, and personal interviews. As the inductive programming analysis and the case study of Simaye Amrica show, the Persian Service pursues a twofold image cultivation strategy by aiming to shape Iranian perceptions of the U.S. government in its news and political shows and perceptions of the American people in its arts and cultural programs.

Motherhood And Self-Realization In The Four Waves Of American Feminism And Joyce Carol Oates'S Recent Fiction

de Julia Hillenbrand

94,08€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The author examines motherhood and female self-realization in feminist discourse and Joyce Carol Oatess recent fiction. While the first and second wave of feminism repudiated motherhood, the third wave claimed the right to enjoy it. The present fourth wave is now reviving the reservations about motherhood of the first two waves. This book demonstrates how Oatess writing reflects these shifts and how Oates takes up and transforms feminist standpoints in her work without writing conventional feminist literature. Literary criticism has only marginally dealt with Oatess mother figures. Drawing on Gender Studies and, in particular, on the transnational relation between French and American feminism, this book fills this gap.
