Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Bustles. Tight-laced Corsets. Caged crinolines that encased the hapless wearer in hoops of steel. Why would anyone want to wear such things? Yet, you can be certain that no lady of the Victorian upper class would choose to leave home without themand shed complete her look with a feather- and flo…wer-festooned bonnet as befit the latest fashion. With a blend of wisdom and wit, Why Would Anyone Wear That? explores extreme fashions from around the world. The Victorian era was by no means alone in strange sartorial choices. Throughout history, men and women have turned to clothing and accessories to adorn and accentuate parts of the body. Some of the fashions, like bloomers, were surprisingly functional. Others, like powdered wigs and hobble skirts, were inconvenient and uncomfortable. And a few particularly painful practices could even permanently disfigure the wearer, like brass coils worn in Burma to lengthen the neck and the custom of binding of womens feet to fit tiny lotus slippers in Song dynasty China. Presenting dozens of the most peculiar fashions, including shoes, hats, jewelry, undergarments, and outerwear, the book provides insightful commentary, placing the garments and accessories in the proper historical, social, and cultural context. If youve ever wondered why the codpiece was created or the leisure suit went out of style, this book will answer that question and many more. Fully illustrated and packed with fun facts, Why Would Anyone Wear That? introduces readers to the fascinating stories behind some of the worlds weirdest fashions. Presents and illustrates diverse fashions, including shoes, hats, jewellery, undergarments, and outerwear. This book explains the environmental influences that shape fashion. It helps readers learn that fashion is a reflection of the way of life at a given time, rather than an arbitrary and unpredictable force.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Fifty synopses of film scenes alongside insightful location essays and evocative full-color film stills. This is an engaging and highly visual citywide tour of well- and lesser-known films shot on location in the birthplace of cinema and screen spectacle. The heart of Hollywood's star-studded fi…lm industry for more than a century, Los Angeles and its abundant and ever-changing localesfrom the Santa Monica Pier to the infamous and now-defunct Ambassador Hotelhave set the scene for a wide variety of cinematic treasures, from Touch of Evil to Chinatown, They Live! to the coming-of-age classic Boyz n the Hood. With its meandering and beautifully fractured topography, Los Angeles continues to lure filmmakers into its clutches, affording an endless panoply of locations to prop up both character and story. This second volume of World Film Locations: Los Angeles expands the careful curation of the first volume to further reveal both the famed and hidden parts of a city in constant flux. Since the first volume's publication in 2011, thousands of new productions have made the most of what the city has to offer, using, reusing, and uncovering places that will surely become sites of pilgrimage in years to come. Insightful essays and interviews throughout turn the spotlight on the important directors, iconic locations, thematic elements, and historical periods that provide insight into Los Angeles and its vibrant cinematic culture. The book demonstrates how motion pictures have contributed to the multifarious role of the city in our collective consciousness and underscores how key cinematic moments reveal aspects of its life and culture that are otherwise largely hidden from view. Further, the book features city maps with information on how to locate key sites and photographs that show locations as they appear now. A guided tour of the City of Angels conducted by the likes of John Cassavetes, Robert Altman, Paul Thomas Anderson, Emerald Fennell, and John Carpenter, this concise volume reveals how Los Angeles captured the imaginations of filmmakers and audiences worldwide. World Film Locations: Los Angeles Volume 2 is an engaging and highly visual city-wide tour of both well known and slightly lesser known films shot on location in one of the birthplaces of cinema and the screen spectacle. It pairs 50 synopses of carefully chosen film scenes with evocative full-colour film stills. Col. illus.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. An analysis of the TV series House of Cards that explores the destructive effects of revenge in the political field. What if Machiavellis Prince were a ferocious animal? What would happen if our political world were overtaken by vampires? Would they be capable of mastering their bloodthirsty ins…tincts or would they remain true to their fundamental nature? In their relentless ambition and ruthless quest for power, the main characters in Netflixs House of Cards series often take Machiavellian logic to its extreme. The specific necessity of a given situation always wins out over common morality, and the boundaries between good and evil are demolished. In the struggle for survival, these people are the predators, determined to come out on top whatever the cost. In this book, Emmanuel Taieb examines how the series takes monstrous characters and sets them in the world of politics, which offers little resistance to violence and turns into a laboratory for systematic destruction. In this variation on the conflict between brutalization and civilization at the heart of power, the political sphere becomes the scene of crime par excellence. Exploration of the idea that House of Cards sets an alternate political world, where the leader is a ferocious animal, a political field overtaken by monsters who remain true to their fundamental nature or try to master their bloodthirsty instincts. But can we really think that the elected men and women are so different from their constituents? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Vienna may not be synonymous with fashion like its metropolitan counterparts Paris and Milan, but it is a fashionable city, one that historically has been structured by changing fashions and fashionable appearances. Like the Litfasssaeule in Orson Welles's 1949 urban noir masterpiece The Third M…an, into which Harry Lime escapes in order to avoid capture and which hapless visitors today presume are merely surfaces for advertising, there are many overlooked aspects of Vienna's distinct style and attitude. By focusing on fashion, Wiener Chic narrates Vienna's history through an interpretation of the material dimensions of Viennese cultural life-from architecture to arts festivals to the urban fabric of street chic. The first book that connects Vienna and fashion with urban theory, Wiener Chic draws on material that is virtually unknown in an English-language context to give readers an insider's vantage point on an underappreciated European fashion capital. Vienna may not be synonymous with fashion like its metropolitan counterparts Paris and Milan, but it is a fashionable city. By focusing on fashion, the author narrates Vienna's history through an interpretation of the material dimensions of Viennese cultural life - from architecture to arts festivals to the urban fabric of street chic.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. An investigation of Paris as an urban space and a poetic site of remembrance. Experiencing urban space conjures visions of the past alongside contemplation of the present. This edited volume investigates this feeling of seeing double by investigating Parisa city that has come to embody the tensi…on of this sensationthrough a dual lens of nostalgia and modernity. Contributors survey Paris in film, poetry, and prose in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, presenting the city as both a concrete reality and as a collection of the myths associated with it. Interdisciplinary and deeply researched, the essays distill complex concepts of the urban, the textual, and the modern for a wide readership. For Baudelaire, Paris streets conjured visions of the past even as he contemplated the present. This book investigates this and other cases of double vision, tracing back into antiquity and following Baudelaire forwards as his poetry is translated, received and referenced through text and film to the twentieth century and beyond. 8 b/w illus.
