Sinopsis

Cultural Face Dynamics explores the crucial role of “face”—the public image people try to project—in shaping social interactions across cultures. Understanding cultural face dynamics is essential, as it reveals the often-unspoken rules that govern our behavior and influence our relationships, particularly in intercultural communication. The book challenges the idea that face is a universal concept, instead arguing that its expression and interpretation vary significantly based on cultural values, drawing on classic sociological and anthropological studies.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing core concepts like positive and negative face, representing the desire to be liked and the desire for autonomy, respectively. It then examines case studies from diverse regions like East Asia and Latin America, illustrating how face concerns manifest in different social settings. Finally, it explores practical applications in international relations and business, emphasizing cultural sensitivity.

 
What makes this book unique is its interdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and communication studies to provide a holistic understanding of face.

The Orations of Cicero Volume 2

Cicero

A collection of the most influential speeches by Marcus Tullius Cicero, Rome’s greatest orator and statesman, The Orations of Cicero showcases his rhetorical brilliance, political principles, and defense of the Roman Republic. Spanning legal arguments, public denunciations, and philosophical reflections, these speeches reveal Cicero’s efforts to uphold justice, combat corruption, and resist the rise of autocracy—most notably in his fierce opposition to Mark Antony in the Philippics . Written with eloquence and moral conviction, Cicero’s orations remain foundational texts in the study of rhetoric, law, and classical political thought. They offer invaluable insight into the turbulent final years of the Roman Republic and the mind of a man who believed deeply in the power of words to shape history, preserve liberty, and defend the rule of law.

The Hobo - A History of...

Robert Suits

The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a book written by Nels Anderson, which provides a comprehensive sociological study of the homeless population in America during the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and experiences of ""hobos"" - a term used to describe homeless men who traveled from place to place in search of work - and sheds light on the social and economic factors that led to their homelessness.Anderson's research is based on his own experiences living among the homeless population, as well as interviews with hundreds of hobos across the country. He examines the unique culture and social structures that developed within the hobo community, including their codes of conduct, language, and customs.The book also delves into the larger societal issues that contributed to the rise of homelessness during this time period, such as the Great Depression, industrialization, and the decline of traditional forms of work. Anderson argues that the hobo lifestyle was a response to these larger societal changes, and that understanding the hobo subculture is crucial to understanding the broader social and economic forces at play.Overall, The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a groundbreaking work that provides a nuanced and empathetic look at the lives of homeless men during a tumultuous period in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sociology of homelessness, as well as anyone interested in the history of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Madame Clairevoyant's Guide to...

Anónimo

“Not just a shimmering guide to our personal cosmologies written in precise and lucid prose, this book is also a devastating collection of cultural-criticism essays cum meditations on the very nature of being alive.”—Emma Copley Eisenberg, author of The Third Rainbow Girl 
A soulful exploration of the twelve astrological signs embodied by our living “stars”—from divas to philosophers, poets to punks—and the ways they can help us better understand ourselves and each other, from the wildly popular astrology columnist for New York magazine’s The Cut. 
Whether you believe in it or not, astrology’s job has never been to give us a preordained vision of the future, nor to sort us into twelve neat personality types, but to provide the tools and language for delving into our weirdest, best, most thorny contradictions, and for understanding ourselves and each other in our full complexity. The stars and the planets then are more like mirrors that show us who we are, that give us an understanding of how to be and how to move through the world; how certain people do it differently, and what we can learn by studying them. 
In Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars, Claire Comstock-Gay brings the sky down to Earth and points to our popular “stars”—from Aretha Franklin to Mr. Rogers, from poets in Cancer to punk singers in Scorpio—to reveal what the sky has to teach us about being human. In this wise, lyrically written guide, she examines the twelve astrological signs, illuminating the ways each one is more complicated, beautiful, and surprising than you might have been told. Claire suggests that actually it’s okay, and even important, to be a seeker, to hunger for self-knowledge, and if astrology is the vehicle for that inquiry, so be it. 
Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars offers a clear introduction to the basics and an innovative new framework for creatively using astrology to illuminate our lives on earth. It’s a road map to our internal world, yes, but Claire also reminds us that it’s still our job to navigate it. Combining both heavenly insights and the earthly wisdom of writers like Cheryl Strayed and Heather Havrilesky and the poetry of Patricia Lockwood and Mary Oliver, Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars offers a fresh, profound, and fun way to look at ourselves and others, and perhaps see each more clearly. And in that way, this book is not just beautiful, but transformative.

Refusenik

Lynn Melnick

In this searing new volume, Lynn Melnick dives head-first through concentric waves of personal and generational trauma with her trademark fearlessness. Evincing a complex mind shaped by the late 20th century’s misplaced priorities, Refusenik interrogates misogyny and anti-Semitism across time and a shifting global landscape—from a football field in Los Angeles to a Russian shtetl to a beloved daughter’s Brooklyn bedroom. Variously unraveling and allowing for intricate tangles of anger, nostalgia and love, these agile poems furrow deeper into the terrain of Melnick’s much-celebrated earlier titles, arriving at a profound and pressured understanding of what it means to be a contemporary American. Audiobook recorded by JBI Library for inclusion in the Yetzirah Audio Poetry Series (YAPS!).
