Book Dialogue with Europe  Dialogue with the Past

Download or read book Dialogue with Europe Dialogue with the Past written by Justyna Olko and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogue with Europe, Dialogue with the Past is a critical, annotated anthology of indigenous-authored texts, including the Nahua, Quechua, and Spanish originals, through which native peoples and Spaniards were able to convey their own perspectives on Spanish colonial order. It is the first volume to bring together native testimonies from two different areas of Spanish expansion in the Americas to examine comparatively these geographically and culturally distant realities of indigenous elites in the colonial period. In each chapter a particular document is transcribed exactly as it appears in the original manuscript or colonial printed document, with the editor placing it in historical context and considering the degree of European influence. These texts show the nobility through documents they themselves produced or caused to be produced—such as wills, land deeds, and petitions—and prioritize indigenous ways of expression, perspectives, and concepts. Together, the chapters demonstrate that native elites were independent actors as well as agents of social change and indigenous sustainability in colonial society. Additionally, the volume diversifies the commonly homogenous term “cacique” and recognizes the differences in elites throughout Mesoamerica and the Andes. Showcasing important and varied colonial genres of indigenous writing, Dialogue with Europe, Dialogue with the Past reveals some of the realities, needs, strategies, behaviors, and attitudes associated with the lives of the elites. Each document and its accompanying commentary provide additional insight into how the nobility negotiated everyday life. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers of Mesoamerican and Andean history, as well as those interested in indigenous colonial societies in the Spanish Empire.

Book European Heritage  Dialogue and Digital Practices

Download or read book European Heritage Dialogue and Digital Practices written by Areti Galani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Heritage, Dialogue and Digital Practices focuses on the intersection of heritage, dialogue and digital culture in the context of Europe. Responding to the increased emphasis on the potential for heritage and digital technologies to foster dialogue and engender communitarian identities in Europe, the book explores what kind of role digital tools, platforms and practices play in supporting and challenging dialogue about heritage in the region. Drawing on fieldwork involving several European museums and heritage organisations, the chapters in this volume critically engage with the role of digital technology in heritage work and its association with ideas of democratisation, multivocality and possibilities for feedback and dialogic engagement in the emerging digital public sphere. The book also provides a framework for understanding dialogue in relation to other commonly used approaches in heritage institutions, such as participation, engagement and intercultural exchange. The authors map out the complex landscape of digitally mediated heritage practices in Europe, both official and unofficial, by capturing three distinct areas of practice: perceptions and applications of digitally mediated dialogues around heritage within European museums and cultural policy, facilitation of dialogue between European museums and communities through participatory design approaches and non-official mobilisation of heritage on social media. European Heritage, Dialogue and Digital Practices will be of interest to both scholars and students in the fields of heritage and museum studies, digital heritage, media studies and communication, the digital humanities, sociology and memory studies. The book will also appeal to policy makers and professionals working in a variety of different fields.

  • Author : Joseph J. Ellis
  • Publisher : Vintage
  • Release : 2019-11-26
  • ISBN : 0804172471
  • Pages : 306 pages

Download or read book American Dialogue written by Joseph J. Ellis and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author of Founding Brothers and The Quartet now gives us a deeply insightful examination of the relevance of the views of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Adams to some of the most divisive issues in America today. The story of history is a ceaseless conversation between past and present, and in American Dialogue Joseph J. Ellis focuses the conversation on the often-asked question "What would the Founding Fathers think?" He examines four of our most seminal historical figures through the prism of particular topics, using the perspective of the present to shed light on their views and, in turn, to make clear how their now centuries-old ideas illuminate the disturbing impasse of today's political conflicts. He discusses Jefferson and the issue of racism, Adams and the specter of economic inequality, Washington and American imperialism, Madison and the doctrine of original intent. Through these juxtapositions—and in his hallmark dramatic and compelling narrative voice—Ellis illuminates the obstacles and pitfalls paralyzing contemporary discussions of these fundamentally important issues.

Book The International Community Approach Kosovo Serbia Dialogue  Kosovo History without End

Download or read book The International Community Approach Kosovo Serbia Dialogue Kosovo History without End written by Blerim Burjani and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-01-09 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Politics - Region: Southeastern Europe, grade: v, , course: Policy, language: English, abstract: The role of the international community in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, before the meeting in the USA between Kosovo and Serbia, was evaluated as a small hope but perhaps for the slow achievement of peace. The meeting in the USA had more of an economic character than a political one. Israel's recognition of Kosovo was the only point that had great importance for Kosovo, but of course this conference had greater economic importance. The attempt was to relax political relations through economic cooperation, this conference seemed to have characters or meaning of relaxation and economic development between Kosovo and Serbia. This conference is thought that it would open the possibility later, i.e. the other stages, to conclude the Kosovo-Serbian dialogue. According to Kosovar analysts, American engagement within the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue is vital for the country, due to the fact that, according to them, the Brussels dialogue has not produced many results for 10 years now. Therefore, in this context, the only hope remains the USA. The only hope remains the USA to end the frozen conflict and the obstacle of Kosovo to be part of the UN, NATO and EU integration. So the Kosovars want the USA as a strong and stable mediator because, the USA knows how to use diplomacy even with sanctions and the Americans do not allow the dialogue to drag on forever without a final solution.

  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2007-11-01
  • ISBN : 0226590097
  • Pages : 259 pages

Download or read book Complete Writings written by Isotta Nogarola and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned in her day for her scholarship and eloquence, Isotta Nogarola (1418-66) remained one of the most famous women of the Italian Renaissance for centuries after her death. And because she was one of the first women to carve out a place for herself in the male-dominated republic of letters, Nogarola served as a crucial role model for generations of aspiring female artists and writers. This volume presents English translations of all of Nogarola's extant works and highlights just how daring and original her convictions were. In her letters and orations, Nogarola elegantly synthesized Greco-Roman thought with biblical teachings. And striding across the stage in public, she lectured the Veronese citizenry on everything from history and religion to politics and morality. But the most influential of Nogarola's works was a performance piece, Dialogue on Adam and Eve, in which she discussed the relative sinfulness of Adam and Eve—thereby opening up a centuries-long debate in Europe on gender and the nature of woman and establishing herself as an important figure in Western intellectual history. This book will be a must read for teachers and students of Women's Studies as well as of Renaissance literature and history.
