Poor Queer Studies: Confronting Elitism in the University
by Matt BrimIn Poor Queer Studies Matt Brim shifts queer studies away from its familiar sites of elite education toward poor and working-class people, places, and pedagogies. Brim shows how queer studies also takes place beyond the halls of flagship institutions: in night school; after a three-hour commute; in overflowing classrooms at no-name colleges; with no research budget; without access to decent food; with kids in tow; in a state of homelessness. Drawing on the everyday experiences of teaching and learning queer studies at the College of Staten Island, Brim outlines the ways the field has been driven by the material and intellectual resources of those institutions that neglect and rarely serve poor and minority students. By exploring poor and working-class queer ideas and laying bare the structural and disciplinary mechanisms of inequality that suppress them, Brim jumpstarts a queer-class knowledge project committed to anti-elitist and anti-racist education. Poor Queer Studies is essential for all of those who care about the state of higher education and building a more equitable academy.

Poor: Grit, courage, and the life-changing value of self-belief
by Katriona O'SullivanThe No. 1 BestsellerBiography of the Year, Irish Book Awards 2023The Last Word Listeners' Choice Award, Irish Book Awards 2023'One of the best [books] I have read about the complexities of poverty . . . one of the most remarkable people you will ever meet' GuardianLike young girls everywhere Katriona O’Sullivan grew up bright, enthusiastic, curious. But she was also surrounded by abject poverty and chaos, and after she became pregnant and homeless at 15, what followed was five years of barely surviving. Yet today Katriona is an award-winning academic whose work explores barriers to education for girls like her.What set Katriona on this unexpected path were the mentors and supporters who truly saw her. The teachers who showed her how to wash in the school toilets or turned up at her door to convince her to sit at least one GCSE. The community worker who encouraged her to apply for training schemes. The friend who introduced Katriona to Trinity College’s access program while she was a cleaner. Simple acts that would help her turn her life around.Told with warmth, clarity and compassion – compassion for her parents, for her younger self, for others – Poor is both an astonishing personal testimony and an impassioned plea for the future of our children.‘Powerful – Katriona is a legend’ Barry Keoghan‘Raw, passionate and resolutely honest – I’ll never forget it’ Annie Mac'Full of insight . . . so important' Fi Glover, Times Radio 'I read poor in one sitting I found it so compelling . . . moving, uplifting, brave, heroic' Nuala McGovern, Woman's Hour, BBC Radio Four'Moving, funny, brave and original - just like the author . . . absolutely incredible' Roísín Ingle, Irish Times Women's Podcast‘One of the books of the year’ Patrick Kielty, Late Late Show, RTÉ One'One of the most important books I have ever read … a beautiful telling of determination despite the odds' Lynn Ruane, Irish Times 'Fearless, funny and searingly honest' Adil Ray OBE'Raw and remarkable' Irish Independent 'A book of empowerment and hope' Patricia Scanlan‘Remarkable . . . a vivid retelling of Katriona flourishing, despite her beginnings’ BBC News West MidlandsNumber 1 bestseller, Irish Times, March 2024

Pop Art
by Will GompertzUn Gompertz muy Gompertz. Un texto sobre los precursores del Pop Art y las revolucionarias ideas que dieron pie al movimiento. En este texto, incluido en el exitoso libro ¿Qué estás mirando? 150 años de arte moderno en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, el autor desgrana las obras que marcaron el inicio y posteriormente la consagración del Pop Art, así como la trayectoria de sus autores. Gompertz nos sitúa en diferentes puntos estratégicos del mapa mundial para trazar las vidas de los precursores del movimiento: Paolozzi, Jasper Jones, Robert Rauschenberg, Warhol, Lichtenstein o Richard Hamilton —por mencionar algunos—; y relata con una prosa absorbente el minuto exacto en el que dieron a luz a sus obras más emblemáticas. Esta corriente artística, considerada por algunos como arte «fácil» para una masa pueril, en el fondo no defendía otra cosa que la democratización de la cultura y reivindicaba que no existía un arte elevado, sino que había valor en las imágenes que formaban parte del mundo cotidiano (aunque estas fueran el resultado impersonal de la producción en cadena). Así, una botella de Coca-Cola se elevaba al nivel de una escultura de Bernini. Siguiendo esta tesis, los artistas del Pop Art descontextualizaron los objetos de la sociedad de consumo para romper mediante la ironía y el color con la corriente artística imperante: el expresionismo abstracto. Con un estilo narrativo propio de la literatura, el autor constata su maestría como uno de los mayores expertos en arte moderno y contagia su entusiasmo a lo largo de estas páginas. Una pieza clave para entender que el Pop Art siempre ha estado entre nosotros, pero necesitábamos a los artistas para descubrirlo. «Gompertz ha escrito un enérgico y completo recorrido por el arte moderno».The Independent Sobre el autor se dijo:«A Gompertz lo de aburrir no se le da nada bien».The Times «Will Gompertz es el mejor profesor que haya tenido jamás».The Guardian «Gompertz ha escrito un enérgico y completo recorrido por el arte moderno».The Independent «Will Gompertz un tipo singular. Rápido como la sangre. Y de algún modo un defensor de la claridad en un territorio de opacidades. Entra en faena desde un libro lúcido que tiene algo de síntesis mental de lo complejo. Una exploración que desacraliza con audacia e ironía tanto el cuello duro de la crítica de arte, a la vez que hace su propia crítica desde la orilla de la claridad».Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «Es tan provocador, irreverente, irónico, divertido y políticamente incorrecto como muchos de los artistas de los que habla. Gompertz da un buen repaso (en todos los sentidos) al arte moderno y contemporáneo. Su visión del mundo del arte es inteligente, salpimentada con buenas dosis de humor».Nati Pulido, ABC «Tanta contundencia en las opiniones proviene de Will Gompertz, director de arte de la BBC y considerado una autoridad mundial en el arte moderno y contemporáneo. [...] En realidad, el libro requiere algo más que un simple pestañeo. Se lee más bien como un completo y ameno manual de 472 páginas».Ángeles García, El País «Para salvar la brecha que separa a muchos visitantes de los objetos que contemplan, Gompertz ha escrito precisamente ¿Qué estás mirando?, un ameno recorrido por la creación moderna para que la comprenda todo el mundo».Javier Ors, La Razón
Pop Art: A Colourful History
by Alastair SookePop Art by the BBC's Alastair Sooke - an essential but snappy new guide to our favourite art movementPop Art is the most important 20th-century art movement. It brought Modernism to the masses, making art sexy and fun with coke cans and comics. Today, in our age of selfies and social networking, we are still living in a world defined by Pop.Full of brand new interviews and research, Sooke describes the great works by Warhol, Lichtenstein and other key figures, but also re-examines the movement for the 21st century and asks if it is still art? He reveals a global story, tracing Pop's surprising origins in 19th-century Paris to uncovering the forgotten female artists of the 1960s."A clear and lively outline of the history of pop art ... a pleasure to read" - Sunday Times
Pop Culture Literacies: Teaching Interpretation, Response, and Composition in a Digital World
by Mia HoodThis book illustrates how young people engage with pop culture—music, TV, films, fashion, dance, video games, memes, and digital content in its many forms—and outlines lessons that support them in engaging more actively, critically, and strategically.Part One draws on qualitative research with young people, as well as close analyses of pop culture phenomena, to illustrate how young people already engage with pop culture, on- and offline. This research demonstrates that young people interpret and respond to pop culture texts in sophisticated ways and highlights the potential for supporting and challenging them to do so in ways that are even more active, critical, and strategic.Part Two presents lessons that teach young people how to adopt intentional interpretive stances in relation to pop culture texts, identify and analyze hidden layers of story in these texts, and ultimately expand and refine their interpretations and responses. In the final chapter’s lessons, young people engage in a process of developing a multimodal autoethnography, a form of narrative composition that explores the connections between the personal and the cultural. The book provides options for teaching these lessons as standalone lessons, for enmeshing them in standards-aligned humanities curricula, and for teaching them in sequence as a unit of study.This book is ideal for teachers who want to better understand how their students are engaging in and making sense of the pop culture texts that saturate the digital world and to help them reimagine who they are in and out of that world.
Pop Culture and Power: Teaching Media Literacy for Social Justice
by Dawn H. Currie Deirdre M. KellyLiteracy education has historically characterized mass media as manipulative towards young people who, as a result, are in need of close-reading "skills." By contrast, Pop Culture and Power treats literacy as a dynamic practice, shaped by its social and cultural context. It develops a framework to analysze power in its various manifestations, arguing that power works through popular culture, not as everyday media. Pop Culture and Power thus explores media engagement as an opportunity to promote social change. Seeing Deeming pop culture as a teaching n opportunity rather than as a threat, Dawn H. Currie and Deirdre M. Kelly worked with K-12 educators to investigate how pop culture can support teaching for social justice. Currie and Kelly began the research for this project with a teacher education seminar in media analysis where participants designed classroom activities using board games, popular film, music videos, and advertisements. These activities were later piloted in participants’ classrooms, enabling the authors to identify and address practical issues encountered by student learners. Case studies describe the design, implementation, and retrospective assessment of activities engaging learners in media analysis and production. Following the case studies, the authors consider how their approach can foster ethical practices when engaging in the digital environment. Pop Culture and Power offers theoretically -informed yet practical tools that can help educators prepare youth for engagement in our increasingly complex world of mediated meaning making.
Pop Culture in Language Education: Theory, Research, Practice (Routledge Research in Language Education)
by Valentin WernerPop Culture in Language Education provides comprehensive insight on how studies of pop culture can inform language teaching and learning. The volume offers a state-of-the-art overview of empirically informed, cutting-edge research that tackles both theoretical concerns and practical implications. The book focuses on how a diverse array of pop culture artifacts such as pop and rap music, movies and TV series, comics and cartoons, fan fiction, and video games can be exploited for the development of language skills. It establishes the study of pop culture and its language as a serious subfield within language education and applied linguistics and explores how studies of pop culture, its language, and its non-linguistic affordances can inform language education at various levels of proficiency and with various learner populations. Presenting a broad range of quantitative and qualitative research approaches including case studies on how pop culture has been used successfully in language education in and beyond the classroom, this book will be of great interest for academics, researchers, and students in the field of language education, applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics, as well as for language teachers and materials developers.
