In China's Image: Chinese Self-Perception in Western Thought
ISBN: 9780333917954 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book questions our perceptions of China. It is argued that what is commonly understood to be 'China' is, in large part, a collage of images. These images - created and manipulated by individuals and groups within the boundaries of the Chinese state in order to pursue their own social, economic and political ambitions - have been accepted, elaborated upon, strengthened and made legitimate by European and American social scientists and by other professional commentators on China. If shaped or strongly conditioned by these images, policies towards China are likely to prove either...

Narrative Writing in Australian and Chinese Schools: A Study of Text in Context
ISBN: 9783906768809 / Angielski / Miękka / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book adopts a crosslinguistic and crosscultural approach to narrative analysis. Concepts of narrative are explored through a contrastive study of its expressions in English and Chinese and through a comparison of the contexts of production.

Afgantsy: The Russians in Afghanistan 1979-89
ISBN: 9780199322480 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan is well known: the expansionist Communists overwhelmed a poor country as a means of reaching a warm-water port on the Persian Gulf. Afghan mujahideen upset their plans, holding on with little more than natural fighting skills, until CIA agents came to the rescue with American arms. Humiliated in battle, the Soviets hastily retreated. It is a great story-but it never happened. In this brilliant, myth-busting account, Rodric Braithwaite, the former British ambassador to Moscow, challenges much of what we know about the Soviets in...

Return: Nationalizing Transnational Mobility in Asia
ISBN: 9780822355168 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the late 1990s, Asian nations have increasingly encouraged, facilitated, or demanded the return of emigrants. In this interdisciplinary collection, distinguished scholars from countries around the world explore the changing relations between nation-states and transnational mobility. Taking into account illegally trafficked migrants, deportees, temporary laborers on short-term contracts, and highly skilled emigres, the contributors argue that the figure of the returnee energizes and redefines nationalism in an era of increasingly fluid and indeterminate national sovereignty. They...

Al-Ḥīra: Eine arabische Kulturmetropole im spätantiken Kontext
ISBN: 9789004229266 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In al-Ḥīra: Eine arabische Kulturmetropole im spatantiken Kontext, Isabel Toral-Niehoff draws a vivid portrait of this Late Antique Arab metropolis, located on the frontier between Byzantium and Sasanian Iran. Based on new archaeological and textual evidence, this study documents al-Ḥīra's historical impact far beyond its well-known role in literary history and describes its creation of a distinctly Arabic urban cultural symbiosis that drew on neighboring civilizations. Al-Ḥīra's multicultural synthesis is shown to be a direct precursor to the emerging...

Historical Aspects of Printing and Publishing in Languages of the Middle East: Papers from the Symposium at the University of Leipzig, September 2008
ISBN: 9789004255050 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Print culture, in both its material and cognitive aspects, has been a somewhat neglected field of Middle Eastern intellectual and social history. The essays in this volume aim to make significant contributions to remedying this neglect, by advancing our knowledge and understanding of how and why the development of printing both affected, and was affected by, historical, social and intellectual currents in the areas considered. These range geographically from Iran to Latin America, via Kurdistan, Turkey, Egypt, the Maghrib and Germany, temporally from the 10th to the 20th centuries CE, and...

Alliances and Treaties between Frankish and Muslim Rulers in the Middle East: Cross-Cultural Diplomacy in the Period of the Crusades. Translated by Peter M. Holt. Revised, edited and introduced by Kon
ISBN: 9789004248571 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Alliances and Treaties between Frankish and Muslim Rulers Michael Kohler presents a fully integrated study of Frankish-Muslim diplomacy in the period from the First Crusade through to the thirteenth century. It is a ground-breaking study that challenges preconceived notions of the relations between Frankish and Muslim rulers in the Middle East. Commonly portrayed as an era of conflict, the period appears here as one in which conventions of diplomatic cooperation were commonplace. This book is one of the few works in the fields of Crusader Studies and Middle Eastern Studies that...

The Japanese Garden: Gateway to the Human Spirit
ISBN: 9780820463506 / Angielski / Miękka / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even in crowded metropolitan areas, Japan s temple precincts preserve not only architecture, but the garden traditions of earlier centuries as well. To step into a temple garden is, in effect, to tread the paths of Japanese aesthetic history. This time travel experience is not unlike venturing into a medieval church situated in a modern Western metropolis. The recognized religious traditions survive in the layout and rationale of Japan s gardens: Shinto, Buddhist, and Confucian. This book explores the distinct priorities and vocabularies of these traditions as expressed in the elements of...

This study reveals the complex combination of cultural particularity and modern universality that underlies the reality of contemporary Japan. The work uses sources such as popular works of art, song, best-selling books and the advice columns of newspapers to draw a striking portrait of the Japanese public. Focussing on the four main phases of modernizing and modernized Japan beginning in the nineteenth century and continuing to today's postmodern society, this groundbreaking work uses quantitative and qualitative data to show that the processes of modernization brought a coexistence of...

Colonial Counterinsurgency and Mass Violence: The Dutch Empire in Indonesia
ISBN: 9780415856836 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whether out of historical interest, romantic identification with the colonized or as models for contemporary counter-insurgency experts, the mass violence of insurgency and counter-insurgency in the post-war decolonization of the European empires has long exerted an intense fascination. In the main, the dramas in French Algeria and British Kenya in the 1950s have dominated the scene, overshadowing the equally violent events that unfolded in the Dutch, Belgian and Portuguese empires. "Colonial counterinsurgency and mass violence" is the first book in English to treat the intense conflict...

Klasyczna literatura tybetańska

Jacksona – wybitnych tybetologów amerykańskich - od lat jest uznawana za najbardziej kompletny i najlepszy podręcznik literatury tybetańskiej.
Obszerność i zasięg oddziaływania liczącej ponad 1300 lat historii literatury tybetańskiej sytuują ją wśród najważniejszych tradycji Azji. Przemożny wpływ na jej rozwój miała kultura indyjska – sanskryt i przebogate dziedzictwo tradycji buddyjskiej. Na przestrzeni wieków formy pisane znajdowały przewagę nad ustnymi, wpływy indyjskie nad rodzimymi, a... "Klasyczna literatura tybetańska" pod redakcją J.I. Cabezóna i R.R.

ISBN: 9788363778187 / Polski / Miękka / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Zuihitsu, czyli „w ślad za pędzelkiem”: notatki gromadzące to, co przyjdzie nam na myśl, co sobie przypomnimy w wolnej chwili, co samo spłynie na papier. Zapiski spod wezgłowia japońskiej damy dworu znanej nam pod przydomkiem Sei Shonagon (z przełomu X i XI wieku) uważane są za początek tego gatunku w Japonii i jeden z jego najpiękniejszych przykładów. Łączą w sobie wiersze i zabawne historie, które wydarzyły się na dworze cesarskim, wyliczenia rzeczy pięknych i rzeczy nudnych czy irytujących, krótkie listy nazw gór czy równin i melancholijne szkice o tym, jak...
