From the publisher:"In an addition to the debate on the nature of contemporary working-class culture, Thomas Dunk examines the ordinary weekend pursuits of working-class males in his home town of Thunder Bay, Ontario. He shows that the function and meaning of gender, ethnicity, popular leisure activities, and common-sense knowledge are intimately linked with the way an individual's experience is structured by class. Dunk begins with a critical review of the principal theoretical problems relating to the study of working-class culture and consciousness, and the classical responses to these problems. He then provides a detailed ethnographic analysis of "the boys" - the male working-class group that is the subject of this study. The author;s acquaintance with this group allows him to use conversations from a series of weekend binges and lob-ball games… Read More

USA: Signal, 2014. A lovely clean fresh copy that appears almost new. According to the author:"The news is everywhere. We can't stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds? We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton, but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. In his dazzling new book, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories--including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal--and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age. He raises such questions as: Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring?". Soft Cover. Fine.
