Описание: Over the past twenty years, international NGOs and charities have devoted immense attention to the millions of African children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. In Crying for Our Elders, anthropologist Kristen Cheney shows that this humanitarian focus on orphanhood often elides the social and political circumstances that present the greatest adversity to vulnerable children. Cheney uses close ethnographic work, including collaborative research with young adults in Uganda, to explore the unique experience of AIDS orphanhood through the eyes of children, caregivers, development practitioners, and policymakers. She highlights the underappreciated role of children as agents and argues that the construction of the orphan category in Africa and the discourse of vulnerability that it engenders neglect local strategies for coping with death and illness. By detailing children s attempts to gain access to various support networks crucial to survival, especially by negotiating local and global children s rights discourses, the book documents the inventive ways children act as agents in their own uplift and try, against all odds, to survive in the era of widespread AIDS orphanhood."
Автор: Ersilia Francesca Название: Ibadi Theology: Rereading Sources & Scholarly Works ISBN: 3487148862 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783487148861 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 155850.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The aim of this volume is to explore different issues of Ibadi theology from the early beginnings until the present day. Ibadi Islam emerged in the early Islamic period and played a pivotal role in the development of Islamic law and theology. Today, it continues to be an influential force in the contemporary Middle East and North Africa. Despite its antiquity, Ibadi Islam - and particularly Ibadi theology - remains little known and has often been misunderstood. Up to now only few prominent book-length works devoted to Ibadi theology in European language; this volume aims at redressing this gap by introducing the distinctive theological teachings of this influential Islamic school to a broad public, specialists and non-specialists alike. Dealing with a series of cases, from different periods and different sources and using an interdisciplinary approach, the authors address questions such as dogma and creed, conception of faith, theological controversies, reassessment of theological sources, the Ibadi "modernism" in last century Oman and North Africa. Medieval Ibadi sources are crucial to understand the early development of the movement and the doctrinal and political disputes which differentiate Ibadi doctrine from Sunni Islam, on the other hand the volume emphasize the importance of also focusing on the 19th and 20th centuries Ibadi sources, when the Ibadi reform movement started looking for reconciliation between Islam and modernity.

Автор: O`Hara Daniel T. Название: Narrating Demons, Transformative Texts: Rereading Genius in Mid-Century Modern Fictional Memoir ISBN: 0814256708 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780814256701 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 26130.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Narrating Demons, Transformative Texts: Rereading Genius in Mid-Century Modern Fictional Memoir, by Daniel T. O'Hara, acknowledges that the modern conception of literary genius is probably most lucidly expressed in the criticism of Lionel Trilling. But O'Hara also demonstrates that certain important and widely read mid-century modern fictional memoirs subversively return to an earlier conception that emphasizes the demonic nature of genius, a conception that is associated with the occult and the visionary and embraces the vision of evil articulated in earlier literature. O'Hara argues that Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus (1947), Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita (1955), and William Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959) all demonstrate an imagining of genius in art and in life that stands in stark and total opposition to the emerging post-World War II age of conformity. These influential works show that genius is inherently a dangerous reality, albeit a creative one. Despite its most transcendent appearances, the full immanence of this conception of demonic genius condemns the modern world to a Last Judgment that is every bit as severe as any envisioned in the Western religious traditions.
An ambitious global history that fundamentally alters our understanding of Malthus
The New Worlds of Thomas Robert Malthus is a sweeping global and intellectual history that radically recasts our understanding of Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population, the most famous book on population ever written or ever likely to be. Malthus's Essay is also persistently misunderstood. First published anonymously in 1798, the Essay systematically argues that population growth tends to outpace its means of subsistence unless kept in check by factors such as disease, famine, or war, or else by lowering the birth rate through such means as sexual abstinence.
Challenging the widely held notion that Malthus's Essay was a product of the British and European context in which it was written, Alison Bashford and Joyce Chaplin demonstrate that it was the new world, as well as the old, that fundamentally shaped Malthus's ideas. They explore what the Atlantic and Pacific new worlds--from the Americas and the Caribbean to New Zealand and Tahiti--meant to Malthus, and how he treated them in his Essay. Bashford and Chaplin reveal how Malthus, long vilified as the scourge of the English poor, drew from his principle of population to conclude that the extermination of native populations by European settlers was unjust.
Elegantly written and forcefully argued, The New Worlds of Thomas Robert Malthus relocates Malthus's Essay from the British economic and social context that has dominated its reputation to the colonial and global history that inspired its genesis.

Childhood books play a special role in reading histories, providing touchstones for our future tastes and giving shape to our ongoing identities. Bringing the latest work in Memory Studies to bear on writers' memoirs, autobiographical accounts of reading, and interviews with readers, Rereading Childhood Books explores how adults remember, revisit, and sometimes forget, these significant books.
Asking what it means to return to familiar works by well-known authors such as Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis and Enid Blyton, as well as popular and ephemeral material not often considered as part of the canon, Alison Waller develops a poetics of rereading and presents a new model for understanding lifelong reading. As such she reconceives the history of children's literature through the shared and individual experiences of the readers who carry these books with them throughout their lives.

Miranda Justo Название: Rereading Schleiermacher: Translation, Cognition and Culture ISBN: 3662479486 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783662479483 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 130430.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book celebrates the bicentenary of Schleiermacher's famous Berlin conference "On the Different Methods of Translating" (1813). It is the product of an international Call for Papers that welcomed scholars from many international universities, inviting them to discuss and illuminate the theoretical and practical reception of a text that is not only arguably canonical for the history and theory of translation, but which has moreover never ceased to be present both in theoretical and applied Translation Studies and remains a mandatory part of translator training. A further reason for initiating this project was the fact that the German philosopher and theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher, though often cited in Translation Studies up to the present day, was never studied in terms of his real impact on different domains of translation, literature and culture.
Автор: Daniel Neofetou Название: Rereading Abstract Expressionism, Clement Greenberg and the Cold War ISBN: 1501358383 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781501358388 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 100320.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Since the 1970s, it has been argued that Abstract Expressionism was exhibited abroad by the post-war US establishment in an attempt to culturally match and reinforce its newfound economic and military dominance. The account of Abstract Expressionism developed by the American critic Clement Greenberg is often identified as central to these efforts. However, this book rereads Greenberg's account through Theodor Adorno and Maurice Merleau-Ponty in order to contend that Greenberg’s criticism in fact testifies to how Abstract Expressionism opposes the ends to which it was deployed.
With reference not only to the most famous artists of the movement, but also female artists and artists of colour whom Greenberg himself neglected, such as Joan Mitchell and Norman Lewis, it is argued that, far from reinforcing the capitalist status quo, Abstract Expressionism engages corporeal and affective elements of experience dismissed or delegitimated by capitalism, and promises a world that would do justice to them.

Описание: What does Lyotard`s thought offer contemporary theory? By focusing on key concepts and themes from his later texts, such as affect, aesthetics, confession and biography, this book explores the impact and relevance of Lyotard`s largely undiscussed late philosophical works for contemporary theoretical debates.
