Download or read book Transpositions written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Polity. This book was released on 2006-03-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book offers an account of ethical and political subjectivity in contemporary culture. It makes a case for a non-unitary or nomadic conception of the subject, in opposition to the claims of ideologies such as conservatism, liberal individualism and techno-capitalism. Braidotti takes a stand against moral universalism, while offering a vigorous defence of nomadic ethics against the charges of relativism and nihilism. She calls for a new form of ethical accountability that takes "Life" as the subject, not the object, of enquiry. The nomadic ethical subject negotiates successfully the complex tension between the multiplicity of political forces on the one hand and the sustained commitment to emancipatory politics on the other."
Download or read book Minerva s Message written by Martin S. Staum and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1996-10-17 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In theory the CMPS was set up to enshrine the human and social studies that were at the heart of Enlightenment culture. Staum illustrates, however, that the Institute helped transform key ideas of the Enlightenment in order to maintain civil rights while upholding social stability, and that the social and political assumptions on which it was based affected notions of social science. He traces the careers of individual members and the factions within the Institute, arguing that the discord within the CMPS reflects the unravelling of Enlightenment culture. Minerva's Message presents a valuable overview of the intellectual life of the period and brings together new evidence about the social sciences in their nascent period.

He stresses the importance of a closer understanding of Fassbinder's career through a re-reading of his films as textual entities.

Download or read book Le Tumulte Noir written by Jody Blake and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jody Blake demonstrates in this book that although the impact of African-American music and dance in France was constant from 1900 to 1930, it was not unchanging. This was due in part to the stylistic development and diversity of African-American music and dance, from the prewar cakewalk and ragtime to the postwar Charleston and jazz. Successive groups of modernists, beginning with the Matisse and Picasso circle in the 1900s and concluding with the Surrealists and Purists in the 1920s, constructed different versions of la musique and la danse negre. Manifested in creative and critical works, these responses to African-American music and dance reflected the modernists' varying artistic agendas and historical climates.
Download or read book Agroclimatology written by Jerry L. Hatfield and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we unlock resilience to climate stress by better understanding linkages between the environment and biological systems? Agroclimatology allows us to explore how different processes determine plant response to climate and how climate drives the distribution of crops and their productivity. Editors Jerry L. Hatfield, Mannava V.K. Sivakumar, and John H. Prueger have taken a comprehensive view of agroclimatology to assist and challenge researchers in this important area of study. Major themes include: principles of energy exchange and climatology, understanding climate change and agriculture, linkages of specific biological systems to climatology, the context of pests and diseases, methods of agroclimatology, and the application of agroclimatic principles to problem-solving in agriculture.
Download or read book The Cambridge History of Communism written by Norman Naimark and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of The Cambridge History of Communism explores the rise of Communist states and movements after World War II. Leading experts analyze archival sources from formerly Communist states to re-examine the limits to Moscow's control of its satellites; the de-Stalinization of 1956; Communist reform movements; the rise and fall of the Sino-Soviet alliance; the growth of Communism in Asia, Africa and Latin America; and the effects of the Sino-Soviet split on world Communism. Chapters explore the cultures of Communism in the United States, Western Europe and China, and the conflicts engendered by nationalism and the continued need for support from Moscow. With the danger of a new Cold War developing between former and current Communist states and the West, this account of the roots, development and dissolution of the socialist bloc is essential reading.

Now fully open access and with an updated introduction to ongoing research, an additional chapter, composite bibliographies, and indices, this multidisciplinary volume opens fresh ways into the investigation of medieval objects and textiles through historical, art historical, and technical analyses.

Download or read book Nationalism and Classicism written by Athena S. Leoussi and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1998 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comparative study of the national significance of the classical revival which marked English and French art during the second half of the nineteenth century. It argues that the main focus of artists' interest in classical Greece, was the body of the Greek athlete. It explains this interest, first, by artists' contact with the art of Pheidias and Polycletus which portrayed it; and second, by the claim, made by physical anthropologists, the classical body typified the race of the European nations.

This book was released on 2014-01-20 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les femmes sont devenues aujourd’hui, plus que par le passé, les protagonistes de l’émigration transnationale. L’attraction la plus forte est toujours exercée par les pays traditionnels tels les États-Unis, le Canada, la Grande-Bretagne, la Belgique, la France et les pays scandinaves, mais aussi par des pays apparus récemment dans la géographie de l’immigration, comme l’Espagne et la Grèce. Mais cette féminisation dépasse largement le cadre occidental. Plusieurs contributions de cet ouvrage l’évoquent également au sujet des migrations intra-africaines, au Moyen-Orient ou en Asie. Dans tous ces pays, les femmes représentent au moins 50 % de la population résidente étrangère et leur nombre augmente à un point tel que les observateurs des flux migratoires contemporains le soulignent comme une tendance de fond. L’ouvrage traite d’un vaste éventail des sujets liés à ces mobilités féminines, en les situant au coeur même des débats sur la mondialisation (travailleuses domestiques, délocalisation des services, marché du sexe, femme réfugiée ou clandestine, femme entrepreneur...). Les auteurs font apparaître aussi la complexification des configurations qui conjuguent migration de travail, asile et exil forcé, regroupement familial, circulations entre les différents pays, migrations légales et clandestines. Les femmes trouvent dans la migration une solution pour améliorer leurs conditions de vie. Qu’il s’agisse des Marocaines en Espagne, des Somaliennes en Italie, des Colombiennes en France, des Mexicaines aux États-Unis, des Philippines au Liban, des Indiennes à Hong Kong, les cas qu’étudie cet ouvrage montrent comment les femmes se transforment et acquièrent plus d’indépendance et de liberté. Les situations restent cependant variées ; elles peuvent comporter de nombreux risques, engendrer des souffrances et des frustrations et conduire à des résultats inégaux. Un élément central cependant les traverse toutes, à savoir la modification progressive mais irréversible des relations entre hommes et femmes et au sein des traditions familiales.
