Pedagogies of the Global: Knowledge in the Human Interest
ISBN: 9781594512384 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The essays in this collection address questions raised by a modernity that has become global with the victory of capitalism over its competitors in the late twentieth century. Rather than erase difference by converting all to European-American norms of modernity, capitalist modernity as it has gone global has empowered societies once condemned to imprisonment in premodernity or tradition to make their own claims on modernity, on the basis of those very traditions, as filtered through experiences of colonialism, neocolonialism, or simple marginalization by the forces of globalization. Global...

ISBN: 9780873325462 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

The Origins of Chinese Communism
ISBN: 9780195054545 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Based on a wealth of archival material released after Mao's death, this book offers a revisionist account of the introduction and triumph of Marxism in China. Dirlik shows that, in 1919, at the outset of the May Fourth Movement, anarchism was the predominant ideology among revolutionaries and intellectuals and Marxism was virtually unknown. Three years later, however, the Communist Party of China had emerged as the unchallenged leader of the Left. Dirlik disputes long-held beliefs about the domestic origins of Chinese Communism to argue that Communist thought and organization were brought...

ISBN: 9780520082649 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

He emphasizes the anarchist contribution to...

ISBN: 9780367216344 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this volume, scholars question the current euphoria over the rapid growth of the Pacific rim - as an economic region and as a political ideal. They suggest that much of the discourse on the region is highly ideological, focusing on its potential for capitalist development while ignoring the limitations of such development, its human costs and consequences. This critique of the idea of a Pacific rim also seeks to redress the balance by focusing on the region in terms of human interactions.

Postmodernism and China
ISBN: 9780822364481 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Few countries have been so transformed in recent decades as China. With a dynamically growing economy and a rapidly changing social structure, China challenges the West to understand the nature of its modernization. Using postmodernism as both a global frame of periodization and a way to break free from the rigid ideology of westernization as modernity, this volume’s diverse group of contributors argues that the Chinese experience is crucial for understanding postmodernism.
Collectively, these essays question the implications of specific phenomena, like literature,... Few countries have been so transformed in recent decades as China. With a dynamically growing economy and a rapidly changing social structure, Ch...

ISBN: 9780813332499 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The essays in this volume range from questions of cultural self-representation in China to more general problems of reconceptualizing global relationships in response to contemporary changes. Although the new era of global capitalism calls for the remapping of global relations, such remapping must be informed both by a grasp of contemporary structures of economic, political, and cultural power and by memories of earlier radical visions of society. Without these two conditions, Arif Dirlik argues, the current preoccupation with Eurocentrism, ethnic diversity, and multiculturalism distract from...

This ambitious work provides a unique statement on the question of place-based activism and its relationship to powerful forces of international capital. Arguing that specific places around the world are sites for the defense and enhancement of daily life in the context of rapidly expanding global technologies and investment options, the contributors reach for a vision of social development that supports sustainable, humane cultures. Bringing together the local and the global, this work provides the first sustained linkage of ethnic groups in diaspora to macrocosmic processes of world capital...
