Book Synopsis Rhetoric of Masculinity by : Donnalyn Pompper
Download or read book Rhetoric of Masculinity written by Donnalyn Pompper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhetoric of Masculinity: Male Body Image, Media, and Gender Role Stress/Conflict lends depth and global nuance to discourse associated with the masculinity concept as it brings to bear on males' self-image, role in society, media representations of them, and the gender role stress/conflict experienced when they fail to measure up to social standards associated with what it means to be manly. Even though the concept of masculine gender role stress/conflict has received substantial scholarly attention in psychology, social learning effects of masculinity as it plays out in media warrant further study given that representations offer audiences restrictive male gender roles that may contribute to toxic masculinity. Men and boys are taught to be self-sufficient, to act tough, to be muscular, heterosexual, and to use aggression to resolve conflicts. Such contexts provide restrictive images that can result in self harm and an inflexible social milieu. Scholars and students of communication, rhetoric, and gender studies will find this book particularly interesting.
Book Synopsis Tom Jones - An Extraordinary Life by : Gwen Russell
Download or read book Tom Jones - An Extraordinary Life written by Gwen Russell and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he owner of one of the most recognizable faces - not to mention voices - in the entertainment business, Sir Tom Jones is the definition of a national treasure. It has been over fifty years since Jones's breakthrough single 'It's Not Unusual' reached Number One in the UK, and it seems as if he has been a permanent fixture on our airwaves ever since. Songs like 'Delilah' and 'She's a Lady' are by now a part of the nation's cultural fabric - but this astounding success wasn't always assured for the legendary Welsh entertainer. Having already overcome a devastating bout of childhood tuberculosis, Tom Jones married his teenage girlfriend at the youthful age of sixteen. With a young family to support, it seemed far more likely that a career as a vacuum salesman was beckoning. However, Jones's voice was destined for greater things than sales patter, and with thirty-six Top Forty singles to his name, his enduring popularity is a testament to just how talented that voice is. His career hasn't always been plain-sailing though. Lengthy quiet periods without much professional success, combined with well-documented infidelities in his private life, has meant that Jones has known his fair share of tough times. In An Extraordinary Life, bestselling biographer Gwen Russell charts Jones's journey from young, unsigned local singer to one of Britain's best-loved entertainers. With his seventy-fifth birthday behind him, and forging a successful TV career thanks to his work heading The Voice, Jones's status as a living legend is guaranteed.

But it has not all been plain sailing for the legendary Grammy Award–winning entertainer whose shows are renowned for panties-hurling frenzies. Tom was struck down by tuberculosis and bed-ridden for almost a year; he has had affairs, lost his longtime manager to cancer, and ridden the quiet times in his career to come out on top. His collaborations reads like a who's who of pop and rock history and includes Johnny Cash, the Bee Gees, Robbie Williams, Pavarotti, and The Cardigans. This informative and affectionate account includes recollections from famous friends, relatives, and contemporaries.

Download or read book Over the Top and Back written by Sir Tom Jones and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited autobiography of legendary singer Tom Jones, following six decades of unparalleled experiences in the spotlight to coincide with his 75th birthday. Across six decades, Sir Tom Jones has maintained a vital career in a risky, unstable business notorious for the short lives of its artists. With a drive that comes from nothing but the love for what he does, he breaks through and then wrestles with the vagaries of the music industry, the nature of success and its inevitable consequences. Having recorded an expansive body of work and performed with fellow artists from across the spectrum and across every popular music genre, from rock, pop and dance to country, blues and soul, the one constant throughout has been his unique musical gifts and unmistakable voice. But how did a boy from a Welsh coal-mining family attain success across the globe? And how has he survived the twists and turns of fame and fortune to not only stay exciting, but actually become more credible and interesting with age? In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom revisits his past and tells the tale of his journey from wartime Pontypridd to LA and beyond. He reveals the stories behind the ups and downs of his fascinating and remarkable life, from the early heydays to the subsequent fallow years to his later period of artistic renaissance. It's the story nobody else knows or understands, told by the man who lived it, and written the only way he knows how: simply and from the heart. Raw, honest, funny and powerful, this is a memoir like no other from one of the world's greatest ever singing talents. This is Tom Jones and Over the Top and Back is his story.

Author Colin MacFarlane was a journalist on Tom's local paper The Pontypridd Observer in the 1980s. He lived in Tom's village of Treforest and even drank with all of Tom's friends and family in the local Wood Road Non Political Club. Over a pint they all had brilliant stories to tell about Tom's early days. Some have never been published before. MacFarlane was lucky to have interviewed them when they were still around. Many have now gone. MacFarlane has charted the early days and followed Tom's career ever since. The people he interviewed were all the real cast members of the real Tom Jones Show. It's a star studded rock n' roll story about a Ponty boy who conquered the world with his voice. It is also a tale of sex, booze and rock n' roll with quite a few surprising twists along the way. A must read for all Tom Jones' fans and also for the younger generation who are fans of Tom on The Voice.

This book was released on 2006-08-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis The Anthology and the Rise of the Novel by : Leah Price
Download or read book The Anthology and the Rise of the Novel written by Leah Price and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anthology and the Rise of the Novel, first published in 2000, brings together two traditionally antagonistic fields, book history and narrative theory, to challenge established theories of 'the rise of the novel'. Leah Price shows that far from leveling class or gender distinctions, as has long been claimed, the novel has consistently located them within its own audience. Shedding new light on Richardson and Radcliffe, Scott and George Eliot, this book asks why the epistolary novel disappeared, how the book review emerged, why eighteenth-century abridgers designed their books for women while Victorian publishers marketed them to men, and how editors' reproduction of old texts has shaped authors' production of new ones. This innovative study will change the way we think not just about the history of reading, but about the genealogy of the canon wars, the future of intellectual property, and the role that anthologies play in our own classrooms.
