Jesuits and Asian Goods in the Iberian Empires, 1580–1700
ISBN: 9789819924639 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book analyzes the exchange relations between the colonies of the Iberian Empires, starting from two cities ports, Buenos Aires and Macau in the period 1580-1700. Agents, who were not professional traders such as the members of the Society of Jesus, and the circulation and consumption of Asian goods in the local populations of Buenos Aires and Macau, were analyzed. Both cases of study will show us how these non-state agents- the Jesuits- build their own networks and exchange channels to Chinese goods distribution (i.e silk, porcelain, musk, amber and others)...

Food and Pandemic
ISBN: 9783451008955 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Food provides a helpful hermeneutical tool for considering the different strategies seen in the biblical texts and their context for dealing with crisis as meals and foodways are at the intersection of personal, social and political sphere. Most of the articles respond to the recent global pandemic by juxtaposing it with the ancient world, especially the literature of Ancient Israel. Striking parallels exist between the current crisis and ancient ones in manifold ways: the renewed centrality of meals when other constructed daily rhythms are disrupted, as well as the relation between...

ISBN: 9781032530062 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S.: Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies, David A. J. Richards offers an investigative comparison of two central figures in late eighteenth-century constitutionalism, Edmund Burke and James Madison, at a time when two great constitutional experiments were in play: the Constitution of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the U.S. Constitution of 1787. Richards assesses how much, as liberal Lockean constitutionalists, Burke and Madison shared and yet differed regarding violent revolution, offering three...

Ignatius Sancho and the British Abolitionist Movement, 1729-1786
ISBN: 9783031374197 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book highlights the significant role played by Ignatius Sancho (c. 1729-80), the first black man to vote in England, in the British abolitionist movement. Examining the letters of Sancho, and especially his correspondence with the influential novelist and preacher, Laurence Sterne, the author analyses the relationship between sensibility and antislavery in eighteenth-century Britain. The book demonstrates how Sancho navigated the bawdy, riotous conditions of commercial London, which was the headquarters of a growing and war-torn Empire. It shows how Sancho mastered the fashionable and...

Holocaust Fiction and the Question of Impiety
ISBN: 9783031123962 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book discusses the issues underlying contemporary Holocaust fiction. Using Gillian Rose’s theory of Holocaust piety, it argues that, rather than enhancing our understanding of the Holocaust, contemporary fiction has instead become overly focused on gratuitous representations of bodies in pain. The book begins by discussing the locations and imagery which have come to define our understanding of the Holocaust, before then highlighting how this gradual simplification has led to an increasing sense of emotional distance from the historical past. Holocaust fiction, the book argues,... This book discusses the issues underlying contemporary Holocaust fiction. Using Gillian Rose’s theory of Holocaust piety, it argues that, rather ... |

Chinese Indentured Labour in the Dutch East Indies, 1880–1942
ISBN: 9783031050268 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book offers a comprehensive account of indentured Chinese labour in the Dutch East Indies between 1880 and 1942, particularly in its twilight years after 1917. The author shows that Chinese indenture started and evolved differently from other forms of bonded labour in Southeast Asia and globally, including its Indian and Javanese variants. This difference is reflected in its lexicon, which was in part special to the Chinese strain. Using fieldwork findings from the tin islands of Bangka and Belitung and the Deli plantations on Sumatra as well as archival materials in Dutch, Chinese,...

ISBN: 9783031112300 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Recent debates about the definition of national identities in Britain, along with discussions on the secularisation of Western societies, have brought to light the importance of a historical approach to the notion of Britishness and religion. This book explores anti-Catholicism in Britain and its Dominions, and forms part of a notable revival over the last decade in the critical historical analysis of anti-Catholicism. It employs transnational and comparative historical approaches throughout, thanks to the exploration of relevant original sources both in the United Kingdom and in...

The Building of Chinese Ethnicity in Rome
ISBN: 9783031070273 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book presents the history of Chinese migrations to Europe within a “transcalar glocal” perspective. That is, it moves between international, national, and local levels of analysis to describe the different constraints Chinese migrants deal with in their lives. It problematizes and complicates ethnicity and identity and refers to controversial concepts like Roman-ness and Chinese-ness, used as identity signifiers. Ultimately, by presenting the lives of ethnic Chinese living in Italy in both global and local context, this book hopes to show the value of a "glocal" oral...

This book addresses the links between war, state and sovereignty using an interdisciplinary approach. The authors and editors investigate the transformation of the state through the practices of security governance - an effective way to question the evolution of authority and legitimacy of state violence, and the organisation of human societies. This work contributes to the understanding of the transformation of state through the prism of security challenges and provides the means to identify the evolution of their regalian contours, the legal and technical forms of regulating violence,...

ISBN: 9783031092800 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book follows the public life of Michael Palaiologos from his early days and upbringing, through to his assumption of the Byzantine imperial throne in 1258. It explores multiple narratives, highlighting the various public communities in the Byzantine polity, primarily focusing on intellectuals and clerks rather than the emperor himself. Drawing on insights from power relations, studies of class and the public sphere, this book provides an account of thirteenth-century Byzantium that highlights the role of communicative and symbolic actions in the public sphere, and argues they were...

Memory Laws and Historical Justice
ISBN: 9783030949167 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book examines state efforts to shape the public memory of past atrocities in the service of nationalist politics. This political engagement with the 'duty to remember', and the question of historical memory and identity politics, began as an effort to confront denialism with regard to the Holocaust, but now extends well beyond that framework, and has become a contentious subject in many countries. In exploring the politics of memory laws, a topic that has been overlooked in the largely legal analyses surrounding this phenomenon, this volume traces the spread...

ISBN: 9783030977399 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book traces the emergence of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) from 1955 to 1963 amid the broader reshaping of the institutional architecture of post-war Europe. It considers the ill-fated Free Trade Area (FTA) proposal, the subsequent creation of EFTA, and the resulting division of Western Europe into two distinct trading blocs. At its core, the book provides an international history of a formative moment of post-war and European integration history, and explores the intense technical discussions among European states as they grappled with the prospect of deeper economic and...

ISBN: 9783031057984 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book focuses on twentieth-century Australian leprosaria to explore the lives of indigenous patients and the Catholic women missionaries who nursed them. Distinguished from previous historical studies of leprosy, the book examines the care and management of the incarcerated, enabling a broader understanding of their experience, beyond a singular trope of banishment, oppression and death. From the 1930s until the 1980s, respective governments appointed the trained sisters to four leprosaria across remote northern Australia, where almost two thousand people had been removed from their homes...
