Download or read book Roxolana in European Literature History and Culture written by Galina I. Yermolenko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is the first book-length scholarly study of the pervasiveness and significance of Roxolana in the European imagination. Roxolana, or "Hurrem Sultan," was a sixteenth-century Ukrainian woman who made an unprecedented career from harem slave and concubine to legal wife and advisor of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566). Her influence on Ottoman affairs generated legends in many a European country. The essays gathered here represent an interdisciplinary survey of her legacy; the contributors view Roxolana as a transnational figure that reflected the shifting European attitudes towards "the Other," and they investigate her image in a wide variety of sources, ranging from early modern historical chronicles, dramas and travel writings, to twentieth-century historical novels and plays. Also included are six European source texts featuring Roxolana, here translated into modern English for the first time. Importantly, this collection examines Roxolana from both Western and Eastern European perspectives; source material is taken from England, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Poland, and Ukraine. The volume is an important contribution to the study of early modern transnationalism, cross-cultural exchange, and notions of identity, the Self, and the Other.

Download or read book The Many Faces of Clio written by Q. Edward Wang and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Germany, Georg Iggers escaped from Nazism to the United States in his adolescence where he became one of the most distinguished scholars of European intellectual history and the history of historiography. In his lectures, delivered all over the world, and in his numerous books, translated into many languages, Georg Iggers has reshaped historiography and indefatigably promoted cross-cultural dialogue. This volume reflects the profound impact of his oeuvre. Among the contributors are leading intellectual historians but also younger scholars who explore the various cultural contexts of modern historiography, focusing on changes of European and American scholarship as well as non-Western historical writing in relation to developments in the West. Addressing these changes from a transnational perspective, this well-rounded volume offers an excellent introduction to the field, which will be of interest to both established historians and graduate students.

Download or read book Nationalism and Archaeology in Europe written by Margarita Díaz-Andreu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologists from many different European countries here explore the very varied relationship between nationalistic ideas and archaeological activity through the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The resurgence of nationalism was one of the most prominent features of the European political scene in the 1990s, when this book was originally published. The past provides a large supply of ideas and images to support the claims of national identity deeply rooted in remote generations. The remote past revealed by archaeology also plays a part – heroes, heroines, golden ages long disappeared, objects to admire, and sites to provoke the memory, all called on to further the cause of nationalism. Drawing on the authoritative insights of the indigenous contributors, this book examines the issues throughout modern Europe. All of the chapters share a concern to see archaeology and the study of the past as intimately related to contemporary social and political questions. The present shapes the way we think about the past but the past also provides us with evidence for thinking about the present. These issues are timeless and this comprehensive examination of a host of issues remains important for historians and those pursuing nationalistic politics.

Download or read book Trans American Trans Oceanic Trans lation written by Susana Araújo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I took a trip down to L’America To trade some beads for a pint of gold. Jim Morrison As the title indicates, Trans/American, Trans/Oceanic, Trans/lation points towards the International American Studies Society’s aims to promote cross-disciplinary study and teaching of the Americas regionally, hemispherically, nationally and transnationally. But it also reflects, less strategically but more forcefully, the heterogeneous and often unexpected themes, topics and motifs addressed in this forum. These articles are revealing in that they give face and expression to the evolving trends and preoccupations in the field. In various ways and from different disciplinary angles, the essays explore key questions in International American Studies: what have been the symbolic and material relations between the “Americas” and the “USA,” and between “America” and the “World”? What are the meanings and workings of these four entities when examined across nations, cultures and languages? In what ways does American experience contribute to the global (re-)production of social, cultural and economic practices?

This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is much unfairness, inequality and suffering in our world. Could some of these situations be the direct result of actions we took in past lives? This book provides a series of spirit communications received through spiritual mediumship indicating that to be true. Spirits in the afterlife reveal reasonable explanations why many seemingly unexplained human conditions, people and many tragic circumstances in our lives were brought about as a consequence of our choices and actions made in past life existences. Also revealed, is that we chose and were aware, before rebirth, what the circumstances of our lives would be. For we returned to earth, out of love: to make amends, for redemption, self-sacrifice in caring for those we love, as well as for the spiritual progress of our soul. Further, we are not alone in our journey throughout our material lives. We have our spirit guides and the spirits of family and friends that help us from the afterlife, always providing inspiration, guidance and consolation. We are never alone in our sorrows! The life stories herein will provide new insight and answers to the whys of our lives, individually and collectively, and the spirits reveal there is a Divine Plan which is one of CONSOLATION, HOPE and UNCONDITONAL LOVE.
