It considers the imagined community in the islands as its psycho-social homeland, while simultaneously pursuing different cultural strategies of redefining and resisting colonial homeland conventions (which Kamau Brathwaite appropriately termed the inner plantation). Thus, the Trans-Caribbean is suspended in a double-dialectic, which opposes both the hegemonic metropolitan space inhabited, as well as the romanticized, yet colonialized, inner plantation, whose transcendence via migration perpetually turns out to be an illusion. Given this, cultural production and migration remain at the vortex of the Trans-Caribbean. The construction of cultural products in the Trans-Caribbean-understood as a collection of social and new migratory practices-both reflects and contests post-colonial metropolitan hegemonies. Following Arjun Appadurai's distinction, these homogenizing and heterogenizing counter-trends in Trans-Cariabbean spaces can be observed through cultural transactions manifesting themselves as ethnoscapes, mediascapes, technoscapes, financescapes, cityscapes, ideoscapes, etc. For the purposes of this book the editors invited anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, linguists, liberal arts and gender studies specialists, as well as cultural and literary historians to begin drawing some of the diasporic trajectories on the huge canvas of cultural production throughout the Trans-Caribbean.Constructing Vernacular Culture in the Trans-Caribbean will find its audience among scholars in cultural studies, migration, literary theory, and cultural criticism who have a special interest in Caribbean and Latin American Studies, as well as among students and scholars of migration and postcolonialism and postmodernity in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50139996979473,"sku":"CIN0311461425G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51285521760529,"sku":"CIN0311461425VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0311461425.jpg?v=1751164660"},{"product_id":"english-parsing-book-james-giles-9781021541666","title":"English Parsing","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51128731238673,"sku":"NIN9781021541666","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1021541664.jpg?v=1751237649"},{"product_id":"sexual-attraction-book-james-giles-9781440830013","title":"Sexual Attraction","description":"How and why does sexual attraction happen?

Orbruch, Professor of Sociology, Oakland University, USA  “Will make you think deeply about this rarely explored phenomenon.” Robert Scott Stewart, Professor of Philosophy, Cape Breton University, Canada “Highly recommended reading for those who want a smart, articulate, and engaging investigation of the diverse body of sexual attraction research.” Heidi Reeder, Associate Professor of Communication, Boise State University, USA  We all experience it but exactly how and why does sexual attraction happen? Expert James Giles explores the universal yet highly individualized experience of being sexually attracted to another person.  Incorporating interviews, research findings, and excerpts from romantic and erotic literature, lyrics, and film, Sexual Attraction: The Psychology of Allure explores a subject that is central to the human experience and highly relevant in not only personal, intimate interactions but also other relationships.  Although the causes and effects of sexual attraction have been studied, sexual attraction itself—how we experience others in terms of their sexual attractiveness—remains a neglected, rarely researched topic. Philosopher and psychologist Dr. James Giles presents jargon-free information that is accessible and fascinating to the everyday reader as well as highly useful and informative to students and researchers in social psychology, sexology, sex and marital therapy, and relationship counselling.  The book explores subjects and types of relationship including:  · How sexual attraction is fundamentally different from other forms of interpersonal attraction  · How at the heart of sexual attraction lies the experience of allure—something that makes one feel helplessly drawn toward an intimate physical joining with the sexually attractive person · Cross-sex friendships and whether women and men can ever be ‘just friends’? Can sexual relations actually enhance and strengthen the friendship without turning it into a romantic relationship?  · Can you be in love with someone you don’t actually like?  · Friends with benefits  · Romantic partnerships","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53640278573329,"sku":"NLS9798765123621","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798765123621.jpg?v=1781014865"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-james-giles.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
