Queering the Redneck Riviera: Sexuality and the Rise of Florida Tourism Watkins Jerry T. III

Queering the Redneck Riviera recovers the forgotten and erased history of gay men and lesbians in North Florida, a region often overlooked in the story of the LGBTQ experience in the United States. Jerry Watkins reveals both the challenges these men and women faced in the years following World War II and the essential role they played in making the Emerald Coast a major tourist destination. In a state dedicated to selling an image of itself as a "family-friendly" tropical paradise and in an era of increasing moral panic and repression, queer people were forced to negotiate their identities and their places in society. Watkins re-creates queer life during this period, drawing from sources including newspaper articles, advertising and public relations campaigns, oral history accounts, government documents, and interrogation transcripts from the state's Johns Committee. He discovers

The Long Slide: Thirty Years in American Journalism Carlson Tucker

From the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News and the New York Times bestselling author of Ship of Fools, a collection of nostalgic writings that underscore America's long slide from innocence to orthodoxy.Thirty years ago, Tucker Carlson got his first job out of college fact checking for a quarterly magazine, and he went on to write for many other publications before becoming the primetime Fox News host he is today.

African Americans and Jungian Psychology: Leaving the Shadows Brewster Fanny

Using Jung's own words, Brewster establishes a timeline of Jungian perspectives on African Americans from the past to the present. She explores the European roots of analytical psychology and its racial biases, as well as the impact this has on contemporary society. The book also expands

Feminist Brecht?: Zum Verhaeltnis Der Geschlechter Im Werk Bertolt Brechts Kugli Ana

Bertolt Brechts private Liebesbeziehungen wurden zum Gegenstand zahlreicher Ver ffentlichungen und brachten ihm den Ruf eines Frauenausbeuters ein. Doch betrachtet man die Frauen, die der Augsburger Autor in seinem literarischen Werk geschaffen hat, vermittelt sich ein anderer Eindruck: Seine Frauenfiguren sind kraftvoll, selbstbewusst und trotzen ihren widrigen Lebensverh ltnissen. Und mehr als das: Brechts Texte beschreiben mit sthetischen Mitteln die gesellschaftlichen Strukturen, mit denen die Frauen seiner Zeit an einem selbstbestimmten Leben gehindert wurden. Das gelang ihm so pr zise und eindringlich, dass sich zahlreiche Parallelen zwischen Brechts Darstellung des Geschlechterverh ltnisses und den Ergebnissen der feministischen Forschung von den 1970er Jahren bis heute aufzeigen lassen. Feminist Brecht? - Zum Verh ltnis der Geschlechter im Werk Bertolt Brechts ist eine erste

Locked Out: Regional Restrictions in Digital Entertainment Culture Elkins Evan

A rare insight into how industry practices like regional restrictions have shaped global media culture in the digital era "This content is not available in your country."

Whether trying to watch a DVD purchased during a vacation abroad, play an imported Japanese video game, or listen to a Spotify library while traveling, we are constantly reminded of geography's imprint on digital culture. We are locked out.Despite utopian hopes of a borderless digital society, DVDs, video games, and streaming platforms include digital rights management mechanisms that block media access within certain territories. These technologies of "regional lockout" are meant first and foremost to keep the entertainment industries' global markets distinct. But they also frustrate consumers and place
