Museums, Monuments, and National Parks: Toward a New Genealogy of Public History
ISBN: 9781558499409 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rapid expansion of the field of public history since the 1970s has led many to believe that it is a relatively new profession. In this book, Denise D.

Scientists conducting research and gathering specimens became key figures in a broader effort to protect and interpret the nations landscape. Their collaboration with entrepreneurs, academics, curators, and bureaucrats alike...

This volume represents a first attempt to sketch Steinschneider's intellectual biography and highlights the continued significance of his work for...

Writing as Poaching: Interpellation and Self-Fashioning in colonial relaciones de méritos y servicios
ISBN: 9789004211094 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Colonial Spanish bureaucracy produced masses of "autobiographical" texts ('relaciones de meritos and servicios') which forced/invited individuals to present themselves as perfect subjects of the King in order to be rewarded. Bureaucracy produced the officials of the colonial regime, and, at the same time, it provided individuals with the possibility of exploring the literary potential of writing one's curriculum vitae. This book helps contextualize a body of often-used yet understudied historic sources; it indicates that the fabric of early modern society was held together by a pervasive...

Several chapters focus on the literary traditions fed by the Shahnama, including reports of the continuing oral performances of its more popular stories. Others discuss Firdausi's impact on the creative imagination of the miniature...

The Riddle of Human Rights
ISBN: 9781551930398 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Published Under the Garamond Imprint Available in the US through Prometheus Books. Demands for "human rights" and resistance to their violation are rarely out of the news. Yet their definition is far from a settled matter, their legal status is quite varied, their uses and defence widely inconsistent between jurisdictions, and respect for them is blatantly limited. If it is held that all humans are abstractly equal in the possession of these rights, there is little agreement on anything else about them. The "human rights" of the United Nations? Charter and Universal Declaration contain a host...
