Communication, Culture, and Making Meaning in the City
Author: Ahmet Atay
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498531946
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
As communicative, cultural, and political spaces, cities present a vast array of racial, ethnic, national, sexual, and socioeconomic experiences around which human communities take shape. This shaping forms a germinal point of mass cultural life. City planners decide where buildings and neighborhoods are developed, which ultimately affects who residents interact with, how they get there, and why they choose city life. From these experiences, boundaries and possibilities arise that define cultures of “the city.” In Separately Together: Ethnographic Engagements of the City, contributors focus on theorizing the notion of “the city” as a communicatively constituted cultural space, drawing on situated, reflexive ethnographic examinations of “the city” to show the complex and varied ways in which cities produce social meaning.

Pages : 202
Book Description
A high stakes professional hit man, who calls himself Damien, leaves a graveyard of dead bodies in his path. The media has dubbed him "The Bag Man" — when he leaves your town, a body bag will be required. Attempting to pass himself off as an FBI agent, he learns too late that his long time friend who lives in the same small town of northwestern Oklahoma is indeed an agent for the FBI — undercover to stop a ring of organized crime. Early in his profession as a hired killer, Damien sets a rule for himself to never leave a job unfinished that he has been paid for. But the one time he breaks that rule, will haunt him to the end. Accepting a job to hit a wealthy diamond broker, who turns out to be the uncle to someone in his home town, proves to be his downfall. When the law comes to his home town to investigate the nephew, Damien is exposed and is forced to start killing his only real friends. Figuring out which of the men in this small town is the true FBI agent, and who Damien really is, is the mystery.

Encyclopedia of American Urban History
Author: David Goldfield
Publisher: SAGE Publications
ISBN: 1452265534
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1057
Book Description
We are an urban nation and have been so, officially at least, since the early twentieth century. But long before then, our cities played crucial roles in the economic and political development of the nation, as magnets for immigrants from here and abroad, and as centers of culture and innovation. They still do. Yet, the discipline that we call "Urban History" is really a phenomenon of post-World War II scholarship. Now, after a generation of pathbreaking scholarship that has reoriented and enlightened our perception of the American city, the two volumes of the Encyclopedia of American Urban History offer both a summary and an interpretation of the field. With contributions from leading academics in their fields, this authoritative resource offers an interdisciplinary approach by covering topics from economics, geography, anthropology, politics, and sociology. Key Features Addresses the rise of urban America using a concise, readable, and historical format Focuses on the 20th century—a century with the most dramatic urban growth and a time when the United States transformed from being a nation of shopkeepers and farmers to an urban industrial, and then post-industrial society Defines "urban" broadly, including suburban environments, and even something new and, literally, far out, called "penurbia" Offers both a referential and a reverential approach to produce a work that functions as a research tool and as a commemoration of scholarship Includes contributions from leading academics and scholars as well as from those who work for non-profits, governments, and corporations The Encyclopedia of American Urban History is a fundamental reference work intended to ground and inspire future research in the field. It is an essential resource for any academic library.
