This book examines the role of translation--the rendering of texts and ideas from one language to another, as both act and trope--in shaping attitudes toward nationalism and colonialism in Korean and Japanese intellectual discourse between the time of Japan's annexation of Korea in 1910 and the passing of the colonial generation in the mid-1960s. Drawing on Korean and Japanese texts ranging from critical essays to short stories produced in the colonial and postcolonial periods, it analyzes the ways in which Japanese colonial and Korean nationalist discourse pivoted on such concepts as...

Triumph in the Philippines
ISBN: 9781515082835 / Angielski / Miękka / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. (Includes maps) From the moment of his departure from the Philippines in 1942, General MacArthur was determined to return to the islands and restore the freedom of the Philippine people. Capture of the main island of Luzon in 1945 substantially realized this goal. How his armies accomplished it forms the body of the story unfolded in this volume. In some respects the Luzon Campaign repeated the pattern of Japanese conquest three years earlier, although with action on a much larger scale and for a much longer period. Unlike the Japanese conquest, the operations of 1945 involved a fierce...

The Value of Comparison
ISBN: 9780822361398 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Value of Comparison Peter van der Veer makes a compelling case for using comparative approaches in the study of society and for the need to resist the simplified civilization narratives popular in public discourse and some social theory. He takes the quantitative social sciences and the broad social theories they rely on to task for their inability to question Western cultural presuppositions, demonstrating that anthropology's comparative approach provides a better means to understand societies. This capacity stems from anthropology's engagement with diversity, its fragmentary...

Gunboat Justice Volume 3
ISBN: 9789888273195 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Foreign gunboats forced China, Japan and Korea to open to the outside world in the mid-19th century. The treaties signed included rules forbidding local courts from trying foreigners; or, "extraterritoriality." Britain and the United States established consular courts in all three countries and, as trade grew, the British Supreme Court for China and Japan and the United States Court for China. These courts for many decades--over 100 years in China--dispensed British and American justice in the Far East. Extraterritoriality had a huge impact, which continues to this day, on how China and Japan...

Locating Hell in Islamic Traditions
ISBN: 9789004301214 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Taking full advantage of a wide range of Arabic...
