Shirley Bassey: Diamond Diva by Peter Hogan Shirley Bassey: Diamond Diva by Peter Hogan PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad As The Times' review pointed out, the overriding successes of 2007’s Glastonbury Festival were those of two female performers—one was Lily Allen; the other was Dame Shirley Bassey. Conditions onstage were almost as bad as down in the mud with the crowd, yet the 70-year-old Bassey managed to pull her orchestra and the audience with her all the way. This long-awaited new biography opens with the now-famous helicopter emergency landing that followed Bassey’s performance, then backtracks to her youth in Cardiff’s Tiger Bay in the 1930s. From this moment on, the keyword in this sparkling biography is context. Most people have no real idea what the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s were actually like in Britain, because they believe the clichés. The reality was much bleaker—a grey world punctuated by the occasional flash of color—and Shirley Bassey was undeniably one of those flashe...

The Reflexive Imperative in Late Modernity by Margaret S. Archer The Reflexive Imperative in Late Modernity by Margaret S. Archer PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad This book completes Margaret Archer's trilogy investigating the role of reflexivity in mediating between structure and agency. What do young people want from life? Using analysis of family experiences and life histories, her argument respects the properties and powers of both structures and agents and presents the 'internal conversation' as the site of their interplay. In unpacking what 'social conditioning' means, Archer demonstrates the usefulness of 'relational realism'. She advances a new theory of relational socialisation, appropriate to the 'mixed messages' conveyed in families that are rarely normatively consensual and thus cannot provide clear guidelines for action. Life-histories are analysed to explain the making and breaking of the various modes of refl...
