John Dos Passos: Biography and Critical Essays
ISBN: 9781443824217 / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contributions in this book draw attention to the close, though sometimes ambiguous, relationship between biography, aesthetics, ideology, social critique and gender in Dos Passos’s writings. Most of the essays are important additions to the ongoing scholarly critique on the author’s works, considered in terms of innovative literary techniques and the myriad of literary representations, as well as of core thematic issues that have helped define Dos Passos both as a towering figure of American Modernism, and outspoken political and social critic.

The Changing Dynamics of the Relations among China, Taiwan, and the United States
ISBN: 9781443826815 / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever since Chiang Kai-shek and his Kuomintang evacuated to Taiwan at the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, China and Taiwan have been divided by a fundamental and irreconcilable sovereignty dispute over Taiwan’s international status. In addition, the United States has played a central role in the rivalry between Beijing and Taipei. Despite the immutable nature of this sovereignty dispute between China and Taiwan, the triangular relations among Beijing, Taipei, and Washington have changed quite considerably over time. Over the last three decades, for example, relations in the Taiwan...

The Face of the Other in Anglo-American Literature
ISBN: 9781443833516 / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If we have established that our approach to the phenomena that are other to us is always a matter of semiosis, and that even in an attempt to naturalize phenomenology, like the one made by Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who points to the corporeity of consciousness as much as an intentionality of the body, it appears that our most negligible movements present our cultural being or habituality (cf. Iris Young, Throwing Like a Girl, 1990, 2005). However, many thinkers have claimed (for example, the novelist D. H. Lawrence or philosopher Luce Iragary) that we know by touch and intuition.

Islam, Muslims, and COVID-19: The Intersection of Ethics, Health and Social Life in the Diaspora
ISBN: 9789004679764 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume brings together diverse disciplinary perspectives to provide a multidisciplinary and multidimensional account of Muslim ethics operating in the COVID-19 era, where scriptural values, lived experiences, societal structures, and cultural contexts combine in fresh and diverse ways. Indeed, Islamic ethical evaluation often ignores contributions from the social sciences, and contextual factors are not fully understood when issuing Islamic edicts. This volume thus aims at a more connected account of how religious concerns generated challenges and how Muslims lived out their religious...

ISBN: 9789004617957 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How did overseas Europeans participate in the two world wars’ effort? Which were the tensions around mobilization? How did the war affect their identity and their descendants? What were their mobilization’s effects on the relationship with the adopted homelands? These closely intertwined issues connect to the central argument of the book: war exerted a crucial influence on the configuration – and reconfiguration – of those European communities’ national or ethnic identities and made evident their transnational nature. Through different case studies, this volume approached the...

'Zij is en blijft de inlandsche vrouw, die alleen met de Europeaan wil zamen wonen, zich aan hem ten beste geeft, hem al hare diensten wijdt, alleen omdat zij daardoor de zekerheid bekomt, dat zij nu een goed leven leiden en in ruime mate voldoen kan aan de onbegrensde zucht naar pronk en opschik'. Met deze woorden karakteriseerde W.L. Ritter in 1855 de njai, de concubine van menig Europese, Chinese en Arabische man in Nederlands-Indië. In de Nederlandstalige koloniale literatuur van de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw was de njai het symbool van degeneratie en dreigde zij...
