Unfinished Projects: Decolonization and the Philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre by Paige Arthur and Ian Hacking
English | 2010 | ISBN 1844673987 | 262 Pages | PDF | 4,5 MB
In this major new reading of Sartre's life and work, Paige Arthur traces the relationship between the philosopher's decades-long commitment to decolonization and his intellectual positions. Where other commentators have focused on the tensions between Sartre's Marxism and his account of existential freedom, usually to denigrate one in favor of the other, Arthur shows how Sartre's political engagement with global liberation movements and his philosophical framework developed alongside one another.

B. Foley, "Undressed for Success: Beauty Contestants and Exotic Dancers as Merchants of Morality"
English | 2005 | pages: 236 | ISBN: 1403969930 | PDF | 56,4 mb
Using the tools of performance studies, gender theory, and cultural history, Brenda Foley explores the striking similarities between beauty pageantry and striptease. For example, women in both project a 'normal' femininity and adhere to a strict hierarchy (Miss America contestants look down upon Miss Universe contestants, while theatrical 'burlesque artists' saw themselves as far above mere carnival strippers). Undressed for Success collects extensive primary source research - newspapers, journals, trade publications, photography collections, press releases, memoirs, and interviews with both strippers and pageant contestants - and employs a wide array of gender, feminist, and performance theory to analyze them.
