The Americanization of France: Searching for Happiness after the Algerian War
ISBN: 9781442221659 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This engaging, knowledgeable book traces the American path France has followed since resolving its searing Algerian conflict in 1962. Barnett Singer convincingly demolishes two pervasive cliches about modern France: first, that the country never has been fit to fight wars, including wars on terror; and second, that the French always have been and remain overwhelmingly anti-American. Drawing on a wealth of archival sources, Barnett Singer clearly demonstrates that a serious and organized France fought strongly until its own divisions, international pressures, and the actions of de Gaulle ended...

ISBN: 9780299199043 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Bridging gaps between intellectual history, biography, and military/colonial history, Barnett Singer and John Langdon provide a challenging, readable interpretation of French imperialism and some of its leading figures from the early modern era through the Fifth Republic.

Material Transgressions: Beyond Romantic Bodies, Genders, Things
ISBN: 9781802078367 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Material Transgressions reveals how Romantic-era authors think outside of historical and theoretical ideologies that reiterate notions of sexed bodies, embodied subjectivities, isolated things, or stable texts. The essays gathered here examine how Romantic writers rethink materiality, especially the subject-object relationship, in order to challenge the tenets of Enlightenment and the culture of sensibility that privileged the hegemony of the speaking and feeling lyric subject and to undo supposedly invariable matter, and representations of it, that limited their writing, agency, knowledge,...
