Download or read book Narratives of Nation Building in Korea written by Sheila Miyoshi Jager and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new insight on how key historical texts and events in Korea's history have contributed to the formation of the nation's collective consciousness. The work is woven around the unifying premise that particular narrative texts/events that extend back to the premodern period have remained important, albeit transformed, over the modern period and into the contemporary period. The author explores the relationship between gender and nationalism by showing how key narrative topics, such as tales of virtuous womanhood, have been employed, transformed, and re-deployed to make sense of particular national events. Connecting these narratives and historic events to contemporary Korean society, Jager reveals how these "sites" - or reference points - were also successfully re-deployed in the context of the division of Korea and the construction of Korea's modern consciousness.

The author's history begins with the feminist, nihilist, and populist impulses of the 1860s and 1870s, and leads to the social mobilization campaigns of the early Soviet period.
Download or read book History of Technology Volume 33 written by Ian Inkster and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While political and social historians have made great progress in trying to understand the making of modern Greece by studying * politics and power struggles, little attention has been given TO the co-evolution of the Greek state and the technologies that were developed during this period. This volume HELPS fills this gap, exploring the formation of the Greek state and the construction of 'modern' Greece through the lens of the history of technology and industry. The contributors look at the role of engineering institutions, the press and of infrastructure technological networks in promoting specific technocratic ideals and legitimizing social roles for the engineers of the period. The volume as a whole offers new insights into the way that engineering culture, institutional reforms and infrastructures contributed to the making of 'modern' Greece. Special Issue: History of Technology in Greece, from the Early 19th to 21st Century Edited by Stathis Arapostathis and Aristotelis Tympas
Download or read book Makers of Jadavpur A Technological Perspective written by Rajat Baisya and published by Jadavpur University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is authored by Rajat K. Baisya, alumnus of the department of Food Technology and Biochemical Engineering and a distinguished scholar, author and management consultant. The foundations of Jadavpur university and its origins as a technological institution imagined in a nationalist mould, established as a counter to the colonial British education and as a part of the movement for independence, are relatively well-known. What is less explored is the journey that the National Council of Education underwent to transform itself into the Jadavpur University. As a premier institution of higher learning in India at the present time, Jadavpur University has a number of stalwart professors to thank for its worldwide reputation. This book covers the biographies of twenty-two such professors of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. Written from the ‘technological perspective’, the book attempts to trace a form of history of Jadavpur University through the microhistories of the individuals responsible for its beginnings and subsequent growth.

Download or read book Greek Literature in Late Antiquity written by Scott Fitzgerald Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late Antiquity has attracted a significant amount of attention in recent years. As a historical period it has thus far been defined by the transformation of Roman institutions, the emergence of distinct religious cultures (Jewish, Christian, Islamic), and the transmission of ancient knowledge to medieval and early modern Europe. Despite all this, the study of late antique literary culture is still in its infancy, especially for the Greek and other eastern texts examined in this volume. The contributions here presented make new inroads into a rich literature notable above all for its flexibility and unparalleled creativity in combining multiple languages and literary traditions. The authors and texts discussed include Philostratus, Eusebius of Caesarea, Nonnos of Panopolis, the important St Polyeuktos epigram, and numerous others. The volume makes use of a variety of interdisciplinary approaches in an attempt to provoke discussion on change (Dynamism), literary education (Didacticism), and reception studies (Classicism). The result is a study which highlights the erudition and literary sophistication characteristic of the period and brings questions of contextualization, linguistic association, and artistic imagination to bear on little-known or undervalued texts, without neglecting important evidence from material culture and social practices. With contributions by both established scholars and young innovators in the field of late antique studies, there is no work of comparable authority or scope currently available. This volume will stimulate further interest in a range of untapped texts from Late Antiquity.
Download or read book Russian Anarchists written by Paul Avrich and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Avrich records the history of the anarchist movement from its Russian origins in the 19th century, with a full discussion of Bakunin and Kropotkin, to its upsurge in the 1905 and 1917 Social Democratic Revolutions, and its decline and fall after the Bolshevik Revolution. While analyzing the role of the anarchists in these fateful years, he traces the close relationships between the anarchists and the Bolsheviks and shows that the Revolutions were conceived in spontaneity and idealism and ended in cynical repression. The Russian anarchists saw clearly the consequences of a Marxist "dictatorship of the proletariat" and, though they had no single cohesive organization, repeatedly warned that the Bolsheviks aimed to replace the tyranny of the tsars with a tyranny of commissars.

Download or read book The Transformation of Rural Life written by Jane Adams and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Adams focuses on the transformation of rural life in Union County, Illinois, as she explores the ways in which American farming has been experienced and understood in the twentieth century. Reconstructing the histories of seven farms, she places the details of daily life within the context of political and economic change. Adams identifies contradictions that, on a personal level, influenced relations between children and parents, men and women, and bosses and laborers, and that, more generally, changed structures of power within the larger rural community. In this historical ethnography, Adams traces two contradictory narratives: one stresses plenitude--rich networks of neighbors and kin, the ability to supply families from the farm, the generosity shown to those in need--while the other stresses the acute hardships and oppressive class, gender, and age inequities that characterized farm life. The New Deal and World War II disrupted both patterns, as the increased capital necessary for successful farming forced many to move from agriculture to higher-paid nonfarm work. This shift also changed the structure of the farm household, as homes modernized and women found work off the farm. Adams concludes that large-scale bureaucracies leveled existing class distinctions and that community networks eroded as farmers came to realize an improved standard of living.
