ISBN: 9780824894450 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In this book, Siobhan McDonnell offers new insights into the drivers of capitalist...

Latin America and the Transports of Opera: Fragments of a Transatlantic Discourse
ISBN: 9780826506290 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Latin America and the Transports of Opera studies a series of episodes in the historical and textual convergence of a hallowed art form and a part of the world often regarded as peripheral. Perhaps unexpectedly, the archives of opera generate new arguments about several issues at the heart of the established discussion about Latin America: the allure of European cultural models; the ambivalence of exoticism; the claims of nationalism and cosmopolitanism; and, ultimately, the place of the region in the global circulation of the arts. Opera’s transports concern literal and imagined journeys...

Starting with the provocative premise that the “‘West’ is ten percent of the planet”, World Literature Decentered is the first book to decenter Eurocentric discourses of global literature and global history – not just by deconstructing or historicizing them, but by actively providing an alternative. Looking at a series of themes across three literatures (Mexico, Turkey and Bengal), the book examines hotels, melancholy, orientalism, femicide and the ghost story in a series of literary traditions outside...

Reciprocal Mobilities: Indigeneity and Imperialism in an Eighteenth-Century Philippine Borderland
ISBN: 9781469676432 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout the eighteenth century, independent Indigenous people from the borderlands of the Philippines visited the centers of Spanish colonial rule in the archipelago. Their travels are the counternarratives to one-dimensional stories of Spanish conquest of, and Indigenous resistance in, interior frontiers. Indigenous inhabitants on the island of Luzon constantly moved about—visiting allies and launching raids—and thus shaped history in the process. Their mobility allows us to glimpse their agency in colonial interactions in the early modern period. The landscape contains the traces of...
