Imagining Europe: Europe and European Civilisation as Seen from Its Margins and by the Rest of the World, in the Nineteenth and Twentiet
ISBN: 9789052014319 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. What do people think Europe means? What are its values, what are its borders, and what does it stand for? An important topic, without doubt. But the authors of this research collection are not so much interested in what Europe thinks of itself, but rather in what others think of it. They take a number of scenarios from recent history, and examine how Europe has appeared to people in other parts of the globe: America, China, the Arab world, for example. But they go further, and pose the question for some parts of the world which are inside Europe, but which for one reason or another hover on...

This book investigates the concept of the heroic, questions what it is that makes the national hero an indispensable appendage to any possible interpretation of national identity, and asks why scholars stop short before coming to terms with this elusive phenomenon. It finds answers by following heroic traditions in Scotland, Norway and Lithuania from the early modern period to the twentieth century.
The book argues that heroic traditions prevailing trends in situating heroes in national history owe much to the early modern state. Both national heroes and the nation state had been...

Statehood Before and Beyond Ethnicity: Minor States in Northern and Eastern Europe, 1600-2000
ISBN: 9789052012919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Today s world is a world of nation-states; few have survived since the early modern period, some have existed for three hundred years, most came into being during the second part of the last century. Yet the equation between the state and the nation does not go back far in history, despite the prevailing tendency to view the state as closely linked to ethnicity.
To challenge the latter this book attempts to examine statehood separately from the concept of ethnicity; it asks what is non-ethnic about statehood by looking at statehood before and beyond ethnicity . A non-ethnic statehood is... Today s world is a world of nation-states; few have survived since the early modern period, some have existed for three hundred years, most came into ...

Narration, Navigation, and Colonialism: A Critical Account of Seventeenth- And Eighteenth-Century English Narratives of Adventure and Captivity
ISBN: 9789052019581 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The texts collected in this book are all produced and located within the converging fields of navigation and displacement. The connection between navigation and narration becomes clear when we realise that most of the authors and heroes of the accounts discussed by the author were, in one way or another, involved in shipping and navigation and that their accounts were produced within fluid and floating spaces and in the course of intriguing voyages and long cruises. In all cases, these narratives start with the narrators on board ships and end with them once again taking charge of their ships...

ISBN: 9789052012971 / Miękka / 2005 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The fundamental contrast between convergent and divergent tendencies in the development of Balkan cultural identity can be seen as an important determinative both in the contradictory self-images of people in the Balkans and in the often biased perceptions of Balkan societies held by external observers, past and present.

There have been dramatic shifts in the behaviour of labour markets and the conduct of industrial relations in the last century. This volume explores these changes in the context of four very different societies: Germany, Sweden, Britain and Japan.
