Journeys to the Other Shore: Muslim and Western Travelers in Search of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780691138404 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The contemporary world is increasingly defined by dizzying flows of people and ideas. But while Western travel is associated with a pioneering spirit of discovery, the dominant image of Muslim mobility is the jihadi who travels not to learn but to destroy. Journeys to the Other Shore challenges these stereotypes by charting the common ways in which Muslim and Western travelers negotiate the dislocation of travel to unfamiliar and strange worlds. In Roxanne Euben's groundbreaking excursion across cultures, geography, history, genre, and genders, travel signifies not only a physical...

Tragedy of Political Theory: The Road Not Taken
ISBN: 9780691023144 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this book J. Peter Euben argues that Greek tragedy was the context for classical political theory and that such theory read in terms of tragedy provides a ground for contemporary theorizing alert to the concerns of post-modernism, such as normalization, the dominance of humanism, and the status of theory. Euben shows how ancient Greek theater offered a place and occasion for reflection on the democratic culture it helped constitute, in part by confronting the audience with the otherwise unacknowledged principles of social exclusion that sustained its community. Euben makes... In this book J. Peter Euben argues that Greek tragedy was the context for classical political theory and that such theory read in terms of tragedy ... |

Enemy in the Mirror: Islamic Fundamentalism and the Limits of Modern Rationalism: A Work of Comparative Political Theory
ISBN: 9780691058443 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. A firm grasp of Islamic fundamentalism has often eluded Western political observers, many of whom view it in relation to social and economic upheaval or explain it away as an irrational reaction to modernity. Here Roxanne Euben makes new sense of this belief system by revealing it as a critique of and rebuttal to rationalist discourse and post-Enlightenment political theories. Euben draws on political, postmodernist, and critical theory, as well as Middle Eastern studies, Islamic thought, comparative politics, and anthropology, to situate Islamic fundamentalist thought within a...
