In addition the analysis draws on recent developments within the fields of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology - particularly with regard to the study of language and identity and the relationship between language and a sense of place - in order to provide a radically new understanding of 'scouse' in terms of its history, its representation, and its contemporary social and cultural significanceyet the history of language in liverpool has been obscured by misrepresentation and myth-making and narratives of liverpool's linguistic past have scarcely done justice to the rich, complex and fascinating history which produced itsee oxfam website for delivery information read morescouse: a social and cultural history presents a ground-breaking and iconoclastic account which challenges many of the forms of received wisdom about language in liverpool and presents an alternative version of the currently accepted historyoxfam bookshop reigate nowhere in britain is more closely associated with a form of language than liverpoolranging from the mid eighteenth century to the present, the book explores evidence from a host of different sources including the first histories of liverpool, a rare slaving drama set in the port, a poor house report which records the first use of 'scouse' (the dish), nineteenth century debates on gladstone's speech, the 'lost' literature of the city, early to mid twentieth century newspaper accounts of liverpudlian words, idioms and traditions, little-known essays which coined the use of 'scouse' to refer to the language of liverpool, aspects of popular culture in the s and 60s, the lern yerself scouse series, and examples drawn from contemporary literature

Personalizing the state challenges dominant narratives of exceptionalism that have portrayed the people as a threat to the democratic orderdrawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, it moves the question from 'why' liberal democracy has taken a punitive turn to the 'how' and the 'what': to how citizens experience democracy in the first place and what grassroots understandings of politics and care they bring to their encounters with the stateabove all, the book exposes the state's disavowal of its political and moral responsibilities at a time when mechanisms for collectivizing redistributive demands have been silenceda little stain on a few pages, a little tear at the back of djliberal democracy appears in crisisthese popular forms of engagement reflect, in turn, a longer history of state control exercised against working-class peopleotherwise clean textit reveals the murky, sometimes contradictory desires for a personalized state that cannot easily be collapsed with popular support for authoritarian interventionssee oxfam website for delivery information read morethis book goes to where much of the commentary has stopped short: to the lived experiences of citizens who inhabit some of britain's most stigmatized urban neighborhoods, namely its council estates that were once built to house the working classesstarting with dominant theories that have seen these developments as indicative of a rise in 'penal populism' or 'popular authoritarianism', personalizing the state revisits one of the central paradoxes of our times: the illiberal turn that liberal democracy has takenfrom the rise of 'law and order' and ever tougher forms of means-testing under 'austerity politics' to the outcome of britain's referendum on leaving the eu, commentators have rushed to explain the current conjunctureoxfam bookshop leeds 274pp

Lawrence seeks to initiate a variety of interdisciplinary dialogues with disability studies and sensory anthropology in a quest to refigure characters with sensory disabilities featured in the gospels and provide alternative interpretations of their conditions and social interactionsthrough this process these 'disabled' characters are recast as individuals capable of employing certain strategies which destabilize the stigma imposed upon them and tactical performers who can subversively achieve their social goalshowever, often biblical scholarship, itself 'disabled' by eye-centric and textocentric 'norms', has read sensory-disabled characters as nothing more than inert sites of healing; their agency, including their alternative sensory modes of communication and resistance to oppression, remain largely unaddressedin each instance the identity of those stigmatised as 'other' (according to particular physiological, social and cultural 'norms') are recovered by exploring ethnographic accounts which document the stories of those experiencing similar rejection on account of perceived sensory 'difference' in diverse cross-cultural settingslikewise, those instances where sensory faculty is perceived to be 'disabled' in some way also become key sites for ideological commentary and critiquesee oxfam website for delivery information read morein response, louise joxfam bookshop glossop road very good condition, only very slight shelf wear the senses are used within new testament texts as instruments of knowledge and power and thus constitute important mediators of cultural knowledge and experience
