As China continues its rapid ascent within the international system, questions of where it came from have particular relevance. Combining history with international relations theory, David Scott considers China's first substantive modern period of encounter with the West from 1840 through 1949, a period characterized as the Century of Humiliation. During this time China fell from Middle Kingdom preeminence to a position in the international system that remained an enigmatic and challenging one: too strong to be taken over as a colony, yet not strong enough to shape its own destiny. At the...

Stuart Hall's Voice: Intimations of an Ethics of Receptive Generosity
ISBN: 9780822363637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Stuart Hall's Voice explores the ethos of style that characterized Stuart Hall's intellectual vocation. David Scott frames the book--which he wrote as a series of letters to Hall in the wake of his death--as an evocation of friendship understood as the moral and intellectual medium in which his dialogical hermeneutic relationship with Hall's work unfolded. In this respect, the book asks: what do we owe intellectually to the work of those whom we know well, admire, and honor? Reflecting one of the lessons of Hall's style, the book responds: what we owe should be conceived less in terms...
