Автор: Jukka Jari Korpela Название: Slaves from the North: Finns and Karelians in the East European Slave Trade, 900–1600 ISBN: 9004447199 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004447196 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 55790.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In this book Jukka Korpela offers an analysis of the trade in kidnapped Finns and Karelians into slavery in Eastern Europe. Blond slaves from the north of Europe were rare luxury items in Black Sea and Caspian markets, and the high prices they commanded stimulated and sustained a long-distance trade based on kidnapping in special robbery missions and war expeditions. Captives were sold into the Volga slave trade and transported through market webs further south. This business differed and was separate from the large-scale raids carried out on Crimeans for enslavement in Eastern Europe, or the mass kidnappings characteristic of Mediterranean slavery. The trade in Finns and Karelians provides new perspectives on the formation of the Russian state as well as the economic networks of official and unofficial markets in Eastern Europe.
Название: Slaves and slave agency in the ottoman empire ISBN: 3847110373 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783847110378 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 95790.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Slaves and Slave Agency in the Ottoman Empire offers a new contribution to slavery studies relating to the Ottoman Empire. Given the fact that the classical binary of slavery and freedom derives from the transatlantic experience, this volume presents an alternative approach, by examining the strongly asymmetric relationships of dependency documented in the Ottoman Empire. A closer look at the Ottoman social order discloses manifold and ambiguous conditions involving enslavement practices, rather than a single universal pattern. The authors of this volume examine various forms of enslavement and dependency with a particular focus on agency, i.e., the room for maneuver, which the enslaved could secure for themselves, or else the available options for action in situations of extreme individual or group dependencies. Case studies reveal a very wide spectrum of agency, especially with regard to domestic slaves. The authors discuss a multitude of questions, including the uses of legal documents. Others explore the particular situations of eunuchs, galley slaves, slave traders, enslaved populations, manumitted slaves at the palace and in ordinary households, war captives returned home, and domestic servants after the abolition of slavery. This volume presents a clearer and more nuanced picture of the practices of slavery and asymmetric dependency that evolved across the duration of the Ottoman Empire.
Автор: Lovejoy Paul Название: Jihad in West Africa During the Age of Revolutions ISBN: 0821422413 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780821422410 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 30090.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In Jihad in West Africa during the Age of Revolutions, a preeminent historian of Africa argues that scholars of the Americas and the Atlantic world have not given Africa its due consideration as part of either the Atlantic world or the age of revolutions. The book examines the jihad movement in the context of the age of revolutions-commonly associated with the American and French revolutions and the erosion of European imperialist powers-and shows how West Africa, too, experienced a period of profound political change in the late eighteenth through the mid-nineteenth century. Paul Lovejoy argues that West Africa was a vital actor in the Atlantic world, and has wrongly been excluded from analyses of the period. Among its chief contributions, the book reconceptualizes slavery. Lovejoy shows that during the decades in question, slavery not only expanded extensively in the southern United States, Cuba, and Brazil, but also in the jihad states of West Africa. In particular, this expansion occurred in the Muslim states of the Sokoto Caliphate, Fuuta Jalon, and Fuuta Toro. At the same time, he offers new information on the role antislavery activity in West Africa played in the Atlantic slave trade and the African diaspora. Finally, Jihad and Slavery in West Africa during the Age of Revolutions provides unprecedented context for the political and cultural role of Islam in Africa-and of the concept of jihad in particular-from the eighteenth century into the present. Understanding that there is a long tradition of jihad in West Africa, Lovejoy argues, helps to correct the current distortion in understanding the contemporary jihad movement in the Middle East, Afganistan, Pakistan, and Africa.
Автор: Gratchev Slav N., Mancing Howard Название: Don Quixote Around the Globe: Perceptions and Interpretations ISBN: 1588713547 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781588713544 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 55170.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание:
Don Quixote was the first novel ever to gain a virtually immediate international reception: within a year of its publication in 1605 it was being read in multiple countries on two continents. Shortly after that, translations, plays, and works of fiction adapting, or re-accentuating, the character were published and staged throughout Europe. Cervantes's novel has thus generated perhaps the most interesting and varied history of reception, interpretation, and re-accentuation of any work of literature ever written. The character of Don Quixote is undoubtedly the most easily recognized literary character ever created. He is, as we have previously written, the greatest literary hero of all time. We offer here a dozen essays on the perception and interpretation of Don Quixote around the world by an international group of outstanding scholars. -From the introduction.

Описание: This book shows that Cervantes deliberately employed polyphonic structure in Don Quixote, a mode with more sophisticated expressive possibilities that monophonic narration could not offer. It suggests that Don Quixote can be treated as a semi-polyphonic hybrid novel that successfully amalgamates two narrative modes, monophonic and polyphonic.
