In the chaotic days following the fall of the Soviet Union, Glenn Bever found himself in a very foreign environment where he had to connect and work with those who until recently had been regarded as adversaries. As the U.S. on-site engineer for a unique flight research program in Russia, his mission was to resurrect, instrument, and conduct a series of research flights on a retired TU-144 supersonic transport--an early competitor of the Anglo/French Concorde.
These are his personal recollections of breaking the culture and language barriers in the aftermath of the Cold War to help bring about a successful flight research program with a collaboration that had never been done before.

Автор: Vincent van Bever Donker Название: Recognition & Ethics in World Literature: Religion, Violence & the Human ISBN: 3838208471 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783838208473 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 79940.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This is a critical comparative study of contemporary world literature, focused on the importance of the ethical turn (or return) in literary theory. It considers the shape and development of the ethical engagement of the novels of Amitav Ghosh, Chimamanda Adichie, Caryl Phillips, Kazuo Ishiguro, Zadie Smith, and JM Coetzee, exploring the overlaps and divergences between LevinasianDerridean and Aristotelian ethics as they are brought to bear on literature. The characters` recognitions and emotional responses in these texts are integral to the unfolding of their ethical concerns, and the ethics thus explored is often marked by the complexity and impurity characteristic of the tragic. A view of recognition is advanced that shifts it from the more usual political understanding in the field towards seeing it as a formal device used to unfold an ethical knowledge peculiar to fictional narrative, and particularly suitable for the concerns of world literature authors in its interconnection of the universal and the particular -- a binary that has been crucial in post-colonialism and remains important for the wider field of world literature. The analysis unfolds with a focus on three broad ethical themes -- religion, the memory of violence, and the human-eliciting the novelists` contributions to these debates through the investigation of the functioning of moments of recognition in their novels.
