ISBN: 9780729410540 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From Ancient Egypt to the Arab Spring, iconoclasm has occurred throughout history and across cultures.

Drawing on extensive archival evidence to uncover a variety of iconoclastic acts – from the beheading or defacing of sculptures, to the smashing of busts, slashing of paintings and toppling of statues – Clay...

ISBN: 9780729411936 / Angielski / Miękka / 353 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. European culture in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries witnessed a radical redefinition of ‘humanity’ and its place in the environment, together with a new understanding of animals and their relation to humans.

The animal-human relationship challenged not only disciplinary boundaries – between poetry and science, art...

Tracing the Shadow of Secrecy and Government Transparency in Eighteenth-Century France
ISBN: 9783031122354 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book traces changing attitudes towards secrecy in eighteenth-century France, and explores the cultural origins of ideas surrounding government transparency. The idea of keeping secrets, both on the part of individuals and on the part of governments, came to be viewed with more suspicion as the century progressed. By the eve of the French Revolution, writers voicing concerns about corruption saw secrecy as part and parcel of despotism, and this shift went hand in hand with the rise of the idea of transparency. The author argues that the emphasis placed on government transparency,...

Through the history of this housing complex, this book illuminates Salvador Allende’s dedication to the imperative of the right to the city for Chile’s marginalized people. Built in affluent Las Condes in Santiago, on what is arguably the most expensive parcel of land in Chile, the Villa San Luis was one of Salvador Allende’s most visible and dramatic social projects. Allende’s six-year term was ended in the middle by a military coup d’état on 11th September 1973. Yet, material culture from Villa San Luis remains to convey the legacy of his commitment to providing disadvantaged...

The Position of Roman Slaves: Social Realities and Legal Differences
ISBN: 9783110998689 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Slaves were property of their dominus, objects rather than persons, without rights: These are some components of our basic knowledge about Roman slavery. But Roman slavery was more diverse than we might assume from the standard wording about servile legal status. Numerous inscriptions as well as literary and legal sources reveal clear differences in the social structure of Roman slavery. There were numerous groups and professions who shared the status of being unfree while inhabiting very different worlds. The papers in this volume pose the question of whether and how legal texts reflected...
