Summary
Extensions of the Burkeian System focuses upon the writings of Kenneth Burke, who has been hailed as one of the leading U.S. critics in the second half of the 20th century. Kenneth Burke's writings now span a 70-year period. During this period he has developed a system for understanding and critically responding to human communication systems, from literary and artistic works to historical and cultural eras, to entire sociopolitical and technological systems. In 1990, Burke called for a reexamination of his theoretical and critical system. Holding that he might explain a concept in one fashion, Burke likewise recognized that "you may do more in the same direction, or you may change it in the reverse direction, or you may take it in another direction." Calling for the creation of "operation benchmark," Burke invited others to provide extensions of his system. This volume finds its origins in the scholarly contributions of Kenneth Burke and includes an original essay written by Burke some 50 years ago that has never previously been published. This essay provides an important link in the evolution of Burke's system of thought. All of the contributors adopt stances that defer to Burke's contributions, ultimately casting their works as extensions of ideas and claims posited by Burke. Nevertheless, all of the authors also make significant departures from positions Burke has articulated. The range of these reactions varies tremendously. In chapters written by some of the leading communication scholars in the United States, some have returned to Burke himself, focused upon his life, and offered new insights into the forces motivating Burke and the products Burke has generated. Others have reinvestigated and provided extensions of specific Burkeian methods, including his notions of media, the negative, and representative anecdote. Others recast Burke's endeavors in a more political context, focusing upon technology as an anti-humanistic and anti-ecological force. The final chapters of this book reconsider the philosophical underpinnings of the Burkeian system. While diverse in the selection of topics, this volume provides a renewed emphasis on and reexamination of the definitional, applied, methodological, theoretical, and philosophical levels that the Burkeian system affects.

Summary
"In the contemporary urban environment, the once-dominant concept of a 'masculine' identity is being replaced by alternative ideas of what it means to be a man. Troubled Masculinities explores and theorizes the ways in which men who experience marginalization in urban settings reimagine and reconstruct their identities as males. Through personal narratives and assessments of artistic expression, the contributors present critical and inventive views of masculinity and how it is performed and interpreted in urban space. Set against the backdrop of Toronto, the essays engage with the global and transnational processes that affect identity and consider how the social hybridity of large cities allows individuals to work against fundamentalist and essentialist attitudes toward gender. The contributors represent diverse backgrounds, races, ethnicities, sexualities, and gender orientations and they offer unique perspectives on conforming to and breaking away from traditional interpretations of masculinity. The essays in this volume explore the effect of race on one' s own understanding of gender identity, the role of performance and visual art - from screen printing to drag king shows - in challenging hegemonic masculinities, and the impact of space - from bubble tea houses to punk rock clubs - on expressions of masculinity. Troubled Masculinities is an important contribution to the growing field of masculinity studies and a valuable assessment of the nature of gender in a modern Canadian urban setting. The collected essays will appeal to a wide audience, from social scientists and artists to activists and general readers."--Pub. desc.

Summary
In 1984, Robert Axelrod published a book, relating the story of two competitions which he ran, where invited academics entered strategies for the Iterated Prisoners? Dilemma. The book, almost 20 years on, is still widely read and cited by academics and the general public. As a celebration of that landmark work, we have recreated those competitions to celebrate its 20th anniversary, by again inviting academics to submit prisoners? dilemma strategies. The first of these new competitions was run in July 2004, and the second in April 2005. Iterated Prisoners? Dilemma: 20 Years On essentially provi.
