Автор: Zubair Ahmad Название: Grieving for Pigeons: Twelve Stories of Lahore ISBN: 1771992816 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781771992817 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 25150.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: In this poignant and meditative collection of short stories, Zubair Ahmad captures the lives and experiences of the people of the Punjab, a region divided between India and Pakistan. In an intimate narrative style, Ahmad writes a world that hovers between memory and imagination, home and abroad. The narrator follows the pull of his subconscious, shifting between past and present, recalling different eras of Lahore’s neighbourhoods and the communities that define them. These stories evoke the complex realities of post-colonial Pakistani Punjab. The contradictions and betrayals of this region’s history reverberate through the stories, evident in the characters, their circumstances, and sometimes their erasure. Skillfully translated from Punjabi by Anne Murphy, this collection is an essential contribution to the wider recognition of the Punjabi language and its literature.

Автор: Kamal Azfar Название: Waters of Lahore: A Memoir ISBN: 9698784748 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789698784744 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 42900.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Conceived as a trilogy, The Waters of Lahore is a political autobiography written in the third person, loosely using the literary technique known as the stream of consciousness, popularised by novelists like James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner. This style of writing gives the author the freedom to talk about issues and events as they occur to him, flitting from one place to another and from time past to time present and to time future. The work consists of three boks, each independent of the other and each exploring a different theme and era. The essence of The Treanfer of Power is about parting: from Britain and India in 1947, from Bengal after the tragedy of 1971, and from Omar Azfar, the authors first-born, who lost his battle to cancer on 21 January 2009. Camelot by the Sea, dedicated to Sanam Bhutto, the only living offspring of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Begum Nusrat Bhutto, is the realization of a wish expressed by Benazir Bhutto which, after her assassination, the author says became a command. Asian Drama Revisited proposes an Asian Free Trade Association (AFTA) stretching from Jakarta in the east Pacific to Jiwani on the Western shore of Balochistan and from Tienstin on the Yellow Sea in the north to Trincomalee in Sri Lanka. Asia has to prepare itself for the Asian Century.

Описание:
Rising Consumer Materialism presents a theoretical advancement of materialism research. It identifies eight areas of a consumer's life that are inter-disciplinary and of prime importance towards promoting happy and rewarding lifestyles. This study examines the pre-planned purchase process as the primary step towards satisfactory consumption. The theoretical framework provides a stream of research possibilities that guide readers towards healthy consumption patterns. Therefore, the book offers practical solutions to problems such as loneliness and unhappiness. It advocates a new dimension of consumption activity and lifestyle choices that can help to re-socialize and improve social bonds; hitting materialism right at its core, making the consumption experience well informed and beneficial for the consumer as well as society.
Together, pre-planned engaging, intrinsic experiential purchases with a view to environmentalism, religiosity, social giving, social support and nostalgia can cure the excessive emphasis on acquiring and showing off valuables that are disruptive to a consumer's social affiliations and subjective wellbeing.
Rather than utilizing material possessions as a proxy measure for success and happiness resulting in only temporary happiness, discontent, continuous brand/product switching, undesirable post purchase evaluations and shifting brand loyalties, the book establishes alternative mechanisms for achieving happiness. The integrated framework provides a comprehensive solution rather than a half-baked specific situational-based intervention and is a must read for academics, students and consumers alike.

Описание: One of the earliest and most important port cities in the New World, Havana quickly became a model for the planning and construction of other colonial cities. "Beyond the Walled City "tells the story of how Havana was conceived, built, and managed. Examining imperial efforts to police urban space from the late sixteenth century onward, Guadalupe Garcia shows how the production of urban space was explicitly centered on the politics of racial exclusion and social control. Connecting colonial governing practices to broader debates on urbanization, the regulation of public spaces, and the racial dislocation of urban populations, "Beyond the Walled City" points to the ways in which colonialism is inscribed on modern topographies."

Описание: An elaborately crafted and decorated tomahawk from somewhere along the North American east coast: how did it end up in the royal collections in Stockholm in the late seventeenth century? What does it say about the Swedish kingdom’s colonial ambitions and desires? What questions does it raise from its present place in a display cabinet in the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm? Colonial Objects in Early Modern Sweden and Beyond is about the tomahawk and other objects like it, acquired in colonial contact zones and displayed by Swedish elites in the seventeenth century. Its first part situates the objects in two distinct but related spaces: the expanding space of the colonial world, and the exclusive space of the Kunstkammer. The second part traces the objects’ physical and epistemological transfer from the Kunstkammer to the modern museum system. In the final part, colonial objects are considered at the centre of a heated debate over the present state of museums, and their possible futures.
