194036 INGEBRETSEN, Edward J. AT STAKE: Monsters and the Rhetoric of Fear in Public Culture. Chicago: University of Chicago, 2001. xvi+341 pp. Hardback. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket in protective glassine. Minor shelfwear. ISBN: 0226380068 $19.95. The author asks, 'why is so much energy devoted in our culture to the making of monsters? Why are Americans so transfixed by transgression? What is at stake when the exclamatory gestures of horror films pass for descriptive arguments in courtrooms, ethical speech in political commentary, or the bedrock of mainstream journalism?' In a study that is at once an analysis of popular culture, a polemic on religious and secular rhetoric, and an ethics of representation, Edward Ingebretsen searches for answers. AT STAKE explores the social construction of monstrousness in public discourse-tabloids, television, magazines, sermons, and popular fiction. Ingebretsen argues that the monster serves a moralizing function in our culture, demonstrating how not to be in order to enforce prevailing standards of behavior and personal conduct. The boys who shot up Columbine High School, for instance, personify teen rebellion taken perilously too far. Susan Smith, the South Carolinian who murdered her two children, embodies the hazards of maternal neglect. Andrew Cunanan, who killed Gianni Versace, among others, characterizes the menace of predatory sexuality. In a biblical sense, monsters are not unlike omens from the gods. The dreadful consequences of their actions inspire fear in our hearts, and warn us by example.

194020 VAIDHYANATHAN, Siva. COPYRIGHTS AND COPYWRONGS: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How it Threatens Creativity. New York: New York University, 2001. xi+243 pp. Hardback. Notes. Index. Very Good boards in Very Good dust jacket in protective glassine. Light general wear. ISBN: 0814788068 $25. Copyright reflects far more than economic interests. Embedded within conflicts over royalties and infringement are cultural values-about race, class, access, ownership, free speech, and democracy-which influence how rights are determined and enforced. Questions of legitimacy-of what constitutes 'intellectual property' or 'fair use,' and of how to locate a precise moment of cultural creation-have become enormously complicated in recent years, as advances in technology increase the speed of cultural reproduction. This book tracks the history of American copyright law through the 20th century, from Mark Twain's vehement calls for 'thick' copyright protection, to recent lawsuits regarding sampling in rap music and the 'digital moment,' exemplified by Napster and MP3 technology. It argues that in its current punitive, highly restrictive form, US copyright law hinders cultural production, and contributes to the poverty of civic culture. Recent copyright law sanctions biases against cultural traditions differing from the Anglo-European model. In African-based cultures, borrowing and building upon earlier cultural expressions is not considered a legal trespass, but a tribute. Rap and hip hop artists practice such 'borrowing' by sampling and mixing, but have been sued and forced to pay substantial monetary damages. Similarly, the oral transmission of culture, with a centuries-old tradition within African American culture, is complicated by current laws. How can ownership of music, lyrics, or stories, passed down through generations be determined? Strict legal guidelines prove insensitive to diverse cultural expression prevalent in the US, revealing racialized values which permeate our system of laws. Copyright should balance public and private interests but the recent rise of 'intellectual property' as a concept has overthrown that balance.
