Regardless of current events or personal opinions, Americans continue to revere the power and poise of the president of the United States. Yet, for almost as long as this nation has existed, we have simultaneously been forced to tolerate that occasional oddball who, for some reason or another, also decided that it would be a great idea to run for the most important office in the world. Rarely, if ever, have we looked at our fringe candidates for presidency with anything other than a sideways glance or fleeting interest; after all, how seriously can we expect to take someone running for the...

ISBN: 9780300100570 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Theories of distributive justice are most severely tested in the area of disability.

He addresses the work of egalitarian theorists John Rawls, Ronald Dworkin, Amartya Sen, Bruce Ackerman, Martha Nussbaum,...

Cheeky Fictions : Laughter and the Postcolonial
ISBN: 9789042019959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Humour is a key feature, laughter a central element, disrespect a vital textual strategy of postcolonial transcultural practice. Devices such as irony, parody, and subversion, can be subsumed under an interventionist stance and have accordingly received some critical attention. But literary and cultural postcolonial criticism has been marked by a restraint verging on the pious towards the wider significance and functions of laughter. This collection transcends such orthodoxies: laughter can constitute an intervention - but it can also function otherwise. The essays collected here take an...

Hybrid Cultures Nervous States: Britain and Germany in a (Post)Colonial World
ISBN: 9789042032286 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While cultural diversity and hybridity have often been celebrated, they also challenge traditional concepts of national and cultural identity - challenges which have caused considerable anxiety. Various disciplines have often investigated the impact of cultural hybridity, multiculture, and (post)colonialism in relative isolation and with a tendency towards over-theorization and loss of specificity. Greater interdisciplinary cooperation can counter this tendency and encourage sustained comparisons between different former empires and across language boundaries. This volume contributes to such...
