Автор: Gillian Vogelsang-Eastwood, Willem Vogelsang Название: Encyclopedia of Embroidery from Central Asia, the Iranian Plateau and the Indian Subcontinent ISBN: 1350017248 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350017245 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 211200.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This is the first reference work to describe the history of embroidery throughout Central Asia, the Iranian Plateau and the Indian Subcontinent from the medieval period through to the present. It offers an authoritative guide to all the major embroidery traditions of the region and a detailed examination of the material, technical, artistic and design dimensions of the subject, including its use by today’s fashion designers.
For millennia, the peoples of Central Asian, the Iranian Plateau and the Indian Subcontinent have migrated and traded along the multiple strands of the Silk Road, both north–south and east–west. This history of contact has found rich expression within the arts and crafts of the region and particularly in the heritage of embroidery which has sat at the heart of the social and cultural lives of these diverse communities. Embroidery has been produced to decorate individuals, their families, their clients, their homes and public spaces and has reflected economic and political changes over time as well as social, religious and artistic contexts.
Generously illustrated with 500 images (over 450 in colour) of clothes, accessories, and examples of decorated soft furnishings such as cushions, bed linen, curtains, floor coverings and wall hangings, the Encyclopedia is an essential resource for students and scholars of the subject.
This volume is the second in the Bloomsbury World Encyclopedia of Embroidery series. The first volume, on embroidery from the Arab World, won the 2017 Dartmouth Medal, awarded by the American Library Association.
Автор: Kindler Robert Название: Stalin`s Nomads ISBN: 0822965437 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780822965435 Издательство: Turpin Рейтинг: Цена: 55440.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Provides a comprehensive and unsettling account of the Soviet campaign to forcefully sedentarize and collectivize the Kazakh clans. Viewing the nomadic life as unproductive, and their lands unused and untilled, Stalin and his inner circle pursued a campaign of violence and subjugation, rather than attempting any dialogue or cultural assimilation. The results were catastrophic.
From approximately the third century BCE through the thirteenth century CE, the remote mountainous landscape around the glacial sources of the Ganga (Ganges) River in the Central Himalayas in northern India was transformed into a region encoded with deep meaning, one approached by millions of Hindus as a primary locus of pilgrimage.
Nachiket Chanchani’s innovative study explores scores of stone edifices and steles that were erected in this landscape. Through their forms, locations, interactions with the natural environment, and sociopolitical context, these lithic ensembles evoked legendary worlds, embedded historical memories in the topography, changed the mountain range’s appearance, and shifted its semiotic effect. Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains also alters our understanding of the transmission of architectural knowledge and provides new evidence of how an enduring idea of India emerged in the subcontinent.

Автор: Beattie Hugh Название: Empire and Tribe in the Afghan Frontier Region: Custom, Conflict and British Strategy in Waziristan Until 1947 ISBN: 0755643720 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780755643721 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 65830.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Waziristan, a region on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, has in recent years become a flash point in the so-called ‘War on Terror’. Hugh Beattie looks at the history of this region, examining British attempts to manage the tribes from 1849 until Pakistan’s declaration of independence in 1947. He explores British attempts to divide the frontier region into separate British and Afghan spheres of influence. In the minds of British policymakers, this demarcation would secure the position of the Empire, and so Beattie highlights the various policy initiatives towards the frontier region over the period in question. Crucially, he analyses how the British perceived the local tribes, what constituted authority within tribal frameworks, and the military and political ramifications of these perceptions. As he also explores the contemporary relevance of this region, taking into account the resurgence of the Taliban in Waziristan, Beattie’s analysis is vital for those interested in the history and security implications of the Afghan frontier with Pakistan.
