Book excerpt: Vous avez certainement mené une vie aventureuse qui reflète des intérêts culturels forts multiples et l'appréciation de la diversité. Votre histoire est surtout intéressante en raison de la façon dont vous concordez les observations des philosophes à votre expérience. Il est clair que vous croyez profondément dans l'importance de l'introspection comme une voie à une meilleure compréhension de soi et de la famille humaine dans son ensemble. Votre ton est humble et enrichissant. Gail Cato, Éditeur de BookSurge. L'auteur aligne son histoire personnelle avec les réflexions des autres pour la recherche du bonheur intérieur, y compris un bon nombre de penseurs tels que Woodsworth et Gandhi. Mpouma a assez à dire sur sa vie, qui a été de ne pas se sentir à l'aise nulle part. Les choses ont pris une grande tournure lorsqu'il avait deux ans et demi et son père, un candidat à un poste public au Cameroun, a été assassiné. Il grandit au milieu de cette tourmente familiale qui le mettait souvent dans des démêlés à la maison et à l'école. Il vécût de temps en temps entre les maisons de sa mère, ses frères et de son père adoptif, sans jamais se sentir intégré. Pendant ce temps, il a ressenti une connection avec son feu grand-père, connu sous le nom d'Oboss; celui qui fiche toujours tout en l'air. Mpouma a été conforté et inspiré par l'histoire de son grand-père, son franc-parler et son honnêteté dans les réunions de famille ou du village. Vers la fin de sa vingtaine, Mpouma gagna l'approbation de sa famille en se mariant et travaillant à la Banque. Mais son coeur n'était pas dans mariage, et après avoir obtenu le divorce, l'approbation évidemment disparue. Mpouma a rejoint la Soka Gakkai International (SGI), une organisation bouddhiste qui favorise la paix dans le monde entier par la réalisation de la paix intérieure.

Download or read book The Art of Peace written by Morihei Ueshiba and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational teachings in this collection show that the real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature. The teachings are drawn from the talks and writings of Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the popular Japanese martial art of Aikido, a mind-body discipline he called the "Art of Peace," which offers a nonviolent way to victory in the face of conflict. Ueshiba believed that Aikido principles could be applied to all the challenges we face in life—in personal and business relationships, and in our interactions with society. This is an expanded version of the original miniature edition that appeared in the Shambhala Pocket Classics series. It features a new introduction by John Stevens, recently translated doka, didactic "poems of the Way," and Ueshiba's own calligraphy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers the confluence of World History and historical materialism, with the following guiding question in mind: given developments in the field of historical materialism concerned with the intersection of race, gender, labour, and class, why is it that within the field of World History, historical materialism has been marginalized, precisely as World History orients toward transnational socio-cultural phenomenon, micro-studies, or global histories of networks? Answering this question requires thinking, in an inter-related manner, about both the development of World History as a discipline, and the place of economic determinism in historical materialism. This book takes the position that historical materialism (as applied to the field of World History) needs to be more open to the methodological diversity of the materialist tradition and to refuse narrowly deterministic frameworks that have led to marginalization of materialist cultural analysis in studies of global capitalism. At the same time, World History needs to be more self-critical of the methodological diversity it has welcomed through a largely inclusionary framework that allows the material to be considered separately from cultural, social, and intellectual dimensions of global processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the State-run Salon in Paris closed, an array of independent Salons mushroomed starting with the French Artists Salon and Women’s Salon in 1881 followed by the Independent Artists’ Salon, National Salon of Fine Arts and Autumn Salon. Offering an unparalleled choice of art identities and alliances, together with undreamed-of opportunities for sales, commissions, prizes and art criticism, these great Salons guaranteed the centripetal and centrifugal power of Paris as the “modern art centre”. Lured by the prospect of being exhibited annually in Salons the size of Biennales today, a huge number and national diversity of artists, from the Australian Rupert Bunny to the Spaniards Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris, flocked to Paris. Yet by no means were these Salons equal in power, nor did they work consensually to forge this “modern art centre”. Formed on the basis of their different cultural politics, constantly they rivalled one another for State acquisitions and commissions, exhibition places and spaces, awards, and every other means of enhancing their legitimacy. By no means were the avant-garde salons those that most succeeded. Instead, as this culturo-political history demonstrates, the French Artists’ and National Fine Art Salons were the most successful, with the genderist French Artists' Salon being the most powerful and “official”. Despite the renown today of Neo-Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Fauvism, Cubism and Orphism, the most powerful artists in this “modern art centre” were not Sonia Delaunay, Émile Gallé, Paul Signac, Henri Matisse or even Picasso but such Academicians as Léon Bonnat, William Bouguereau, Fernand Cormon, Edouard Detaille, Gabriel Ferrier, Jean-Paul Laurens, Luc-Oliver Merson and Aimé Morot, who exhibited at the “official” Salon supported by the machinery of the State. In its exposure of the rivalry, conflict and struggle between the Salons and their artists, this is an unprecedented history of dissension. It also exposes how, just below the welcoming internationalist veneer of this “modern art centre”, intense persecutionist paranoia lay festering. Whenever France’s “civilizing mission” seemed culturally, commercially or colonially threatened, it erupted in waves of nationalist xenophobia turning artistic rivalry into bitter enmity. In exposing how rivals became transmuted into conspirators, ultimately this book reveals a paradox resonant in histories that celebrate the international triumph of French modern art: that this magnetic “centre”, which began by welcoming international modernists, ended by attacking them for undermining its cultural supremacy, contaminating its “civilizing mission” and politically persecuting the very modernist culture for which it has received historical renown.
