Representational Machines: Photography and the Production of Space
ISBN: 9788771241655 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Since its inception in the 19th century, photography has brought to light a vast array of represented subjects. Always situated in some spatial order, photographic representations have been operatively underpinned by social, technical, and institutional mechanisms. Geographically, bodily, and geometrically, the camera has positioned its subjects in social structures and hierachies, in recognizable localities, and in iconic depth constructions which, although they show remarkable variation, nevertheless belong specifically to the enterprises of the medium. This is the subject of...

The Fat Tail: The Power of Political Knowledge in an Uncertain World
ISBN: 9780199737277 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As Ian Bremmer and Preston Keat reveal in this innovative book, volatile political events such as the 2008 Georgia-Russia confrontation--and their catastrophic effects on business--happen much more frequently than investors imagine. On the curve that charts both the frequency of these events and the power of their impact, the "tail" of extreme political instability is not reassuringly thin but dangerously fat.
Featuring a new Foreward that accounts for the cataclysmic effects of the 2008 financial crisis, The Fat Tail is the first book to both identify the wide range of...

Perpetua's Passions: Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Passio Perpetuae Et Felicitatis
ISBN: 9780199561889 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Perpetua's Passions is a collection of studies about Perpetua, a young female Christian martyr who was executed in 203 AD. Like her spiritual guide, Saturus, Perpetua left a diary, and a few years after their deaths a fellow Christian collected these writings and supplied them with an introduction and epilogue: the so-called Passion of Perpetua. The result is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic works of antiquity, which the present volume examines from a wide range of perspectives: literary, narratological, historical, religious, psychological, and philosophical viewpoints follow upon a...

"An essential guide to the future of the world economy." -David Smick, author of "The World is Curved" A number of authoritarian governments, drawn to the economic power of capitalism but wary of uncontrolled free markets, have invented something new: state capitalism. In this system, governments use markets to create wealth that can be directed as political officials see fit. As an expert on the intersection between economics and politics, Ian Bremmer is uniquely qualified to illustrate the rise of state capitalism and its long-term threat to the global economy. The main characters in... "An essential guide to the future of the world economy." -David Smick, author of "The World is Curved" A number of authoritarian governments, dra... |

The Rise and Fall of the Afterlife: The 1995 Read-Tuckwell Lectures at the University of Bristol
ISBN: 9780415141482 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Belief in the afterlife is still very much alive in Western civilisation, even though the truth of its existence is no longer universally accepted. Surprisingly, however, heaven, hell and the immortal soul were all ideas which arrived relatively late in the ancient world. Originally Greece and Israel - the cultures that gave us Christianity - had only the vaguest ideas of an afterlife. So where did these concepts come from and why did they develop?
In this fascinating, learned, but highly readable book, Jan N. Bremmer - one of the foremost authorities on ancient religion - takes a fresh... Belief in the afterlife is still very much alive in Western civilisation, even though the truth of its existence is no longer universally accepted. Su...

Greek Religion and Culture, the Bible and the Ancient Near East
ISBN: 9789004164734 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the last decades there has been an increasing interest in the relationship between Greek religion & culture and the Ancient Near East. This challenging book contributes greatly to this interest by studying the Near Eastern background of important Greek myths, such as those of the creation of the world and the first woman, the Flood, the Golden Fleece, the Titans and travelling seers, but also of the births of Attis and Asclepius as well as the origins of the terms 'paradise' and 'magic'. It also shows that, in turn, Greek literature influenced Jewish stories of divine epiphanies and that...

Between Poverty and the Pyre examines the history of the experience of widowhood across different cultures. It brings together a collection of essays by historians, anthropologists and philologists. The book shows how difficult it is to define the 'typical' widow, as the experiences of these women have differed so widely, not simply because of their different time periods and locations, but also becuase of their varying legal and religious status and economic conditions. The study is diverse with subjects ranging from: *Hindu wives who followed their husbands to the pyre *widows who were...

This important and highly original book sets out to explore the terra incognita of humour through the ages - from jokes and stage humour in Greece and Rome to the jestbooks of early modern Europe, from...

The traditional connectedness between men, women and nature for the Sami people has undergone many changes in Samiland in the past few decades, resulting in Sami women having to find ways to redefine alter and adapt their traditional and customary roles to changing environmental, political and social climates over time while still remaining Sami. Historically, nations-states at different times tried to claim authority over the Sami in the circumpolar north. After nation state borders were drawn separating Russia, Norway, Sweden and Finland, Norway introduced a harsh assimilation policy...
