Free Download The Making Sense of Politics, Media, and Law: Rhetorical Performance as Invention, Creation, Production
English | 2023 | ISBN: 100933638X | 318 Pages | PDF (True) | 8 MB
From Trump’s ‘make America great again’ to Johnson’s ‘build back better’, performative politicians use The Making Sense to persuade their public audiences. Law ‘makers’ do it too: A courtroom trial is a ‘truth factory’ in which facts are not found but forged. The ‘court of popular opinion’ is another such factory, though its processes are often flawed and its products faulty. Where courts of law aim to make civil peace, ‘trial by Twitter’ makes civil strife. Even in ‘mainstream’ media, journalists make news for public consumption, so that all news is to an extent ‘fake news’. In a world of making, how can we separate craft from craftiness? With insights from disciplines including law, politics, rhetoric, media studies, psychology, sociology, marketing, and performance studies, The Making Sense of Politics, Media, and Law offers a constructive way to approach controversies from transgender identity to cancel culture. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Free Download Unseen Art: Making, Vision, and Power in Ancient Mesoamerica (The Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Series in Latin American and Latino Art) by Claudia Brittenham
English | January 17, 2023 | ISBN: 1477325964 | True PDF | 184 pages | 68.1 MB
In Unseen Art, Claudia Brittenham unravels one of the most puzzling phenomena in Mesoamerican art history: why many of the objects that we view in museums today were once so difficult to see. She examines the importance that ancient Mesoamerican people assigned to the process of making and enlivening the things we now call art, as well as Mesoamerican understandings of sight as an especially godlike and elite power, in order to trace a gradual evolution in the uses of secrecy and concealment, from a communal practice that fostered social memory to a tool of imperial power.
