Автор: Hakkarainen Heidi Название: Comical Modernity: Popular Humour and the Transformation of Urban Space in Late Nineteenth Century Vienna ISBN: 1789202736 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781789202731 Издательство: Berghahn Рейтинг: Цена: 113250.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Though long associated with a small group of coffeehouse elites around the turn of the twentieth century, Viennese “modernist” culture had roots that extended much earlier, and beyond the rarefied sphere of high culture. In Comical Modernity, Heidi Hakkarainen looks at Vienna in the second half of the nineteenth century, a period of dramatic urban renewal during which the city’s rapidly changing face was a mainstay of humorous magazines, books, and other publications aimed at middle-class audiences. Hakkarainen shows how humor provided a widely accessible means of negotiating an era of radical change, allowing a broader understanding of the cultural history of nineteenth-century Vienna.
Автор: Pei-yin Lin Название: Colonial Taiwan: Negotiating Identities and Modernity through Literature ISBN: 9004344497 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004344495 Издательство: Brill Цена: 183300.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book offers a thorough and thought-provoking study on the impact of Japanese colonialism on Taiwan’s literary production from the 1920s to 1945. It redresses the previous nationalist and Japan-centric interpretations of works from Taiwan’s Japanese period, and eschews a colonizer/colonized dichotomy. Through a highly sensitive textual analysis and contextual reading, this chronologically structured book paints a multi-layered picture of colonial Taiwan’s literature, particularly its multi-styled articulations of identities and diverse visions of modernity. By engaging critically with current scholarship, Lin has written with great sentiment the most complete history of the colonial Taiwanese literary development in English.

Автор: Driver Название: John Cassian and the Reading of Egyptian Monastic Culture ISBN: 1138973858 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138973855 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 50010.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book examines the method of meditative reading encouraged by John Cassian (c. 360-435) in his ascetic writings, the bulk of which are fictive dialogues that purportedly record the instruction he had received from Egyptial Christian monks. This instruction was at its core an interactive experience, depending upon both the discernment of the master and diligent application of instruction by the student. Driver examines Cassian's understanding of the act of reading and suggests the implications of this for Cassian's monastic teaching and it interprets Cassian's method of reading in light of contemporary discussions of reading and the self.
Автор: Owen Hodkinson, Helen Lovatt Название: Classical Reception and Children`s Literature: Greece, Rome and Childhood Transformation ISBN: 1350122211 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350122215 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 34840.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Reception studies have transformed the classics. Many more literary and cultural texts are now regarded as 'valid' for classical study. And within this process of widening, children's literature has in its turn emerged as being increasingly important. Books written for children now comprise one of the largest and most prominent bodies of texts to engage with the classical world, with an audience that constantly changes as it grows up. This innovative volume wrestles with that very characteristic of change which is so fundamental to children's literature, showing how significant the classics, as well as classically-inspired fiction and verse, have been in tackling the adolescent challenges posed by metamorphosis. Chapters address such themes as the use made by C S Lewis, in The Horse and his Boy, of Apuleius' The Golden Ass; how Ovidian myth frames the Narnia stories; classical 'nonsense' in Edward Lear; Pan as a powerful symbol of change in children's literature, for instance in The Wind in the Willows; the transformative power of the Orpheus myth; and how works for children have handled the teaching of the classics.
From New Orleans to New York, from London to Paris to Venice, many of the world's great cities were built on wetlands and swamps. Cities and Wetlands is the first book to explore the literary and cultural histories of these cities and their relationships to their environments and buried histories. Developing a ground-breaking new mode of psychoanalytic ecology and surveying a wide range of major cities in North America and Europe, ecocritic and activist Rod Giblett shows how the wetland origins of these cities haunt their later literature and culture and might prompt us to reconsider the relationship between human culture and the environment.
Cities covered include: Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Hamburg, London, New Orleans, New York, Paris, St. Petersburg, Toronto, Venice and Washington.

Описание: Argues that the moment the US became an overseas colonial power in 1898, American national identity was redefined across a global matrix. The Philippines, which the US seized at that point from Spain and local revolutionaries, is therefore the birthplace of a new kind of America, one with a planetary reach that was accompanied by resistance to that reach by local peoples.

Chowdhury, Daisaku Ikeda Название: Creating the Culture of Peace: A Clarion Call for Individual and Collective Transformation ISBN: 1788313275 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781788313278 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 16890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The culture of peace and non-violence is essential to human existence, development and progress. In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly adopted by consensus the norm-setting, forward-looking “Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace”. Governments, institutions, NGOs, other civil society entities and, in particular, individuals – all are encouraged therein to contribute to the global movement for the culture of peace.Related to this vision, this rich and varied dialogue discusses how the culture of peace can be achieved in the world. Based on the extensive personal and professional experiences of two high-profile thinkers and activists, they analyse the challenges unfolding at local, national and global levels and how these relate to humanity’s quest for peace, human security and happiness. Although coming from very different positions – one a Buddhist philosopher, educator and leader; the other a UN diplomat renowned for his international work in peace, development and human rights – these interlocutors are united in their search for justice and better quality of life for all and their conviction that women and young people are the most effective means to achieving positive change in the world.The dialogue provides ideas on the key challenges that face our planet: poverty and deprivation, war and violence, nuclear weapons and small arms, climate change and environmental degradation, weak governance and financial crises, marginalization of women and alienation of youth and the relentless drive for materialism. They also invite us to consider how the culture of peace can be practically achieved through an individual, collective and institutional transformation.Recognizing that global citizenship, multilateralism, women’s equality and value-creating education are central and inter-linked themes, this dialogue also underscores the inherent strength of spirituality, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, respect for diversity and empowerment that comes from the trials and tribulations of life.

Автор: Johannes Suitner Название: Imagineering Cultural Vienna: On the Semiotic Regulation of Viennas Culture-Led Urban Transformation ISBN: 3837629783 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783837629781 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 55750.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Media and public discourses often consider Vienna as a "cultural city". This study of Viennas recent planning practice and discourses shows how this perception is skilfully shaped by political constructions of cultural imaginaries in and of the city. The book unveils how simplistic cognitive interpretations of culture not only define an unquestioned, reductionist idea of the citys cultural character -- it also explains how they influence the recent urban development practice in one of Europes globalising cities.
