A Frenchman's Year in Suffolk, 1784: French Impressions of Suffolk Life in 1784
ISBN: 9781843836759 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Francois de la Rochefoucauld and his brother Alexandre visited Suffolk in 1784, the events which were to lead to the French Revolution in 1789 were already in train. Francois' father, the duc de Liancourt, Grand Master of the Wardrobe at Louis XVI's court, was well placed to appreciate the dangers of the situation in France, and it must have been with anxious hopefulness that he sent his sons (Francois was then 18) to England for a year to appreciate the ordering of these things in a country which had experienced a revolution over a century earlier. Such reflections are never far below...

Black Europeans, the Indian Coolies and Empire
ISBN: 9783639334609 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines the dualistic nature of colonialism and its effects on colonialised society. It shows how Indian Christians' concept of community and self were manipulated via colonial power structures. They reacted and interacted with the all- powerful British colonialist, but such responses were often not solely a direct reaction to colonialism but a result of a fusion of ideas. Indigenous traditions and the acquisition of modern ideas played an important role. Interaction between these opposing elements often brought about a concoction of concepts often unfamiliar to both traditional...

The Psychologizing of Modernity: Art, Architecture and History
ISBN: 9780521147637 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Psychologizing of Modernity, Mark Jarzombek examines the impact of psychology on twentieth-century aesthetics. Analyzing the interface among psychology, art history and avant-gardist practices, he also reflects on the longevity of the myth of aesthetic individuality as it infiltrated not only avant-garde art, but also history writing. The principle focus of this study is pre-World War II Germany, where theories of empathy and Entartung emerged; and postwar America, where artists, critics and historians gradually shifted from their reliance on psychology to philosophy, and most...

Sources of Authority
ISBN: 9783838125343 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The conflicting relation and interplay between a canon fixed in wording and interpretation on the one hand, and the volatility and ambiguity of the "quotable quote" (Garber: Quotation Marks, 2003) on the other hand is the main objective of this work. Without quotation the canon cannot and will not survive. But how does quotation affect the authority of the canon? I argue that quotation 'classics' are not made, they are quoted: It is the quoter and not the author of a text who wields the (democratic) power of choosing the quotable. I investigate how the canon prescribed by the Chinese...

The New Left at Cal State Fullerton and the U.S.
ISBN: 9783639353563 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work examines the impact and significance of the New Left on the conservative campus of California State College, Fullerton (CSF) during the 1960s and early 1970s. During that period, CSF exhibited a series of events just as radical as many other New Left activities across the U.S. CSF had its Vietnam "teach-in," its campus "riot", and its campus building "take-over." This work not only documents the New Lefts activities at CSF, but also compares and contrasts it with the actions of SDS nationally, and examines New Left events at other colleges and universities across the...

The spending of states
ISBN: 9783639366235 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book aims to bring state expenditure into the debate over the construction of modern states. It has traditionally been argued that the differences in state development could be put down to the states particular systems and methods for raising warfare resources. Historians have long stressed that the different levels of state development on a world level should be explained in terms of the origin and management of fiscal and financial resources. But this historical research did not pay the same attention to how that income was spent. This book aims to redress the balance by focusing on...

This book seeks to outline Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan s approach to the Muslim cause in British India. Hailed by his supporters mainly Muslim nationalists in South Asia as a great leader, and criticized scathingly by his opponents and dubbed as a toady or sycophant of the British, Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan remains, hitherto, a very controversial personality. §Be that as it may, no one can deny his decisive role in shaping his co-religionists destiny in the Indian Sub-continent up to independence, namely the creation of Pakistan.
