Langweilige Postkarten (Hardcover)
Magnum photographer Martin Parr is a key figure in the worlds of photography and contemporary art. He has been an avid postcard collector for twenty years and in LANGWEILLIGE POSTKARTEN he presents the pride of his `boring` collection: 160 postcards from Germany that take you on a daringly dull tour of its autobahns, airports, hotels, factories, shops, border posts, tower blocks and new towns.
Presented without commentary or introduction of any kind, and with the original captions, the postcards are allowed to speak for themselves. They were all made before German reunification and provide fascinating and hilarious insights into German social and architectural values between the 1950s and 1980s. The two nations` special relationships with concrete and the functional modernist block is nostalgically and repetitiously celebrated in postcard after postcard, and the volume provides a revealing context for consideration of the work of contemporary German art and landscape photographers.

Globalization, the State and Violence
Friedman and a distinguished group of contributors offer a compelling analysis of globalization and the global structuring of violence. In particular, they investigate the complex processes of cultural fragmentation and of the formation of transnational networks: economic, social and cultural. The contributors examine the growth and increasing autonomy of indigenous populations, and the massively destabililizing effect of migration processes. They analyze the criminalization of ethnic and immigrant groups, the increases in class stratification, and new forms of transnational criminal networks, which also represents disintegration of larger territorial homogeneities and/or hierarchical orders. This book will be a valuable reference for instructors in anthropology, social and cultural theory, international politics and economics, ethnic conflict, immigration, economic history, stratification and inequality, and social organizations.
