The Archaeology of Egyptian Non-Royal Burial Customs in New Kingdom Egypt and Its Empire【電子書籍】[ Wolfram Grajetzki ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This Element provides a new evaluation of burial customs in New Kingdom Egypt, from about 1550 to 1077 BC, with an emphasis on burials of the wider population. It also covers the regions then under Egyptian control: the Southern Levant and the area of Nubia as far as the Fourth Cataract. The inclusion of foreign countries provides insights not only into the interaction between the centre of the empire and its conquered regions, but also concerning what is typically Egyptian and to what extent the conquered regions were culturally influenced. It can be shown that burials in Lower Nubia closely follow those in Egypt. In the southern Levant, by contrast, cemeteries of the period often yield numerous Egyptian objects, but burial customs in general do not follow those in Egypt.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,967円

Visualising the Empire of Capital【電子書籍】[ Martyn Hudson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Methods of visualising modernity and capitalism have been central to classical social science. Those methods of seeing, specifically in the work of Marx, were attempts to capture visually the fragmenting edifice of capital in its death throes and were part of a project to hasten its demise - yet capitalism persisted and perpetuated itself in new forms, such that its demise now looks less likely than it did 150 years ago. This book argues for a new way of understanding Marx and a new way of approaching both capitalist modernity and Marx’s <em>Capital</em> by rethinking the nature of vision. Through studies of visualisation in relation to machines and the monstrous, memory, mirrors and optics, and the invisible, <em>Visualising the Empire of Capital</em> offers a new way of thinking about what capital is and its future. A new reading of - and against - Marx, this volume argues for new forms of sensual utopia while initiating antagonism to the empire of capital itself. As such, it will appeal to social theorists, social anthropologists and sociologists with interests in critical theory, visual culture and aesthetics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,511円

Byzantium The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire【電子書籍】[ Judith Herrin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For a thousand years an extraordinary empire made possible Europe’s transition to the modern world: Byzantium. An audacious and resilient but now little known society, it combined orthodox Christianity with paganism, classical Greek learning with Roman power, to produce a great and creative civilization which for centuries held in check the armies of Islam.</p> <p>Judith Herrin’s concise and compelling book replaces the standard chronological approach of most histories of Byzantium. Instead, each short chapter is focused on a theme, such as a building (the great church of Hagia Sophia), a clash over religion (iconoclasm), sex and power (the role of eunuchs), an outstanding Byzantine individual (the historian Anna Komnene), a symbol of civilization (the fork), a battle for territory (the crusades). In this way she makes accessible and understandable the grand sweeps of Byzantine history, from the founding of its magnificent capital Constantinople (modern Istanbul) in 330, to its fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,714円

Rome, Empire of Plunder The Dynamics of Cultural Appropriation【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Bringing together philologists, historians, and archaeologists, Rome, Empire of Plunder bridges disciplinary divides in pursuit of an interdisciplinary understanding of Roman cultural appropriation - approached not as a set of distinct practices but as a hydra-headed phenomenon through which Rome made and remade itself, as a Republic and as an Empire, on Italian soil and abroad. The studies gathered in this volume range from the literary thefts of the first Latin comic poets to the grand-scale spoliation of Egyptian obelisks by a succession of emperors, and from Hispania to Pergamon to Qasr Ibrim. Applying a range of theoretical perspectives on cultural appropriation, contributors probe the violent interactions and chance contingencies that sent cargo of all sorts into circulation around the Roman Mediterranean, causing recurrent distortions in their individual and aggregate meanings. The result is an innovative and nuanced investigation of Roman cultural appropriation and imperial power.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,805円

Brokers of Faith, Brokers of Empire Armenians and the Politics of Reform in the Ottoman Empire【電子書籍】[ Richard E. Antaramian ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Ottoman Empire enforced imperial rule through its management of diversity. For centuries, non-Muslim religious institutions, such as the Armenian Church, were charged with guaranteeing their flocks' loyalty to the sultan. Rather than being passive subjects, Armenian elites, both the clergy and laity, strategically wove the institutions of the Armenian Church, and thus the Armenian community itself, into the fabric of imperial society. In so doing, Armenian elites became powerful brokers between factions in Ottoman politicsーuntil the politics of nineteenth-century reform changed these relationships.</p> <p>In <em>Brokers of Faith, Brokers of Empire</em>, Richard E. Antaramian presents a revisionist account of Ottoman reform, relating the contention within the Armenian community to broader imperial politics. Reform afforded Armenians the opportunity to recast themselves as partners of the state, rather than as brokers among factions. And in the course of pursuing such programs, they transformed the community's role in imperial society. As the Ottoman reform program changed how religious difference could be employed in a Muslim empire, Armenian clergymen found themselves enmeshed in high-stakes political and social contests that would have deadly consequences.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,837円

The Cartiers The Untold Story of the Family Behind the Jewelry Empire【電子書籍】[ Francesca Cartier Brickell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**“A dynamic group biography studded with design history and high-society dash . . . [This] elegantly wrought narrative bears the Cartier hallmark.”ー<em>The Economist</em></p> <p>The “astounding” (Andr? Leon Talley) story of the family behind the Cartier empire and the three brothers who turned their grandfather’s humble Parisian jewelry store into a global luxury iconーas told by a great-granddaughter with exclusive access to long-lost family archives</p> <p>“Ms. Cartier Brickell has done her grandfather proud.”ー<em>The Wall Street Journal</em>**</p> <p><em>The Cartiers</em> is the revealing tale of a jewelry dynastyーfour generations, from revolutionary France to the 1970s. At its heart are the three Cartier brothers whose motto was “Never copy, only create” and who made their family firm internationally famous in the early days of the twentieth century, thanks to their unique and complementary talents: Louis, the visionary designer who created the first men’s wristwatch to help an aviator friend tell the time without taking his hands off the controls of his flying machine; Pierre, the master dealmaker who bought the New York headquarters on Fifth Avenue for a double-stranded natural pearl necklace; and Jacques, the globe-trotting gemstone expert whose travels to India gave Cartier access to the world’s best rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, inspiring the celebrated Tutti Frutti jewelry.</p> <p>Francesca Cartier Brickell, whose great-grandfather was the youngest of the brothers, has traveled the world researching her family’s history, tracking down those connected with her ancestors and discovering long-lost pieces of the puzzle along the way. Now she reveals never-before-told dramas, romances, intrigues, betrayals, and more.</p> <p><em>The Cartiers</em> also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the firm’s most iconic jewelryーthe notoriously cursed Hope Diamond, the Romanov emeralds, the classic panther piecesーand the long line of stars from the worlds of fashion, film, and royalty who wore them, from Indian maharajas and Russian grand duchesses to Wallis Simpson, Coco Chanel, and Elizabeth Taylor.</p> <p>Published in the two-hundredth anniversary year of the birth of the dynasty’s founder, Louis-Fran?ois Cartier, this book is a magnificent, definitive, epic social history shown through the deeply personal lens of one legendary family.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,036円

Exposing Lies of the Empire【電子書籍】[ Andre Vltchek ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>ANDRE VLTCHEK is one of this world’s greatest contemporary thinkers. A true internationalist, he does not belong to any single culture; he belongs to the entire world, a world battered by Western imperialism and capitalist fundamentalism. That is why he works relentlessly and courageously at the front lines and battlefields, as well as in the most forgotten corners of the globe; wherever he is needed and wherever our humanity is suffering, struggling and is rising to its feet. This book is 822 pages long, divided into 69 chapters. It is perhaps the most complete, and the most comprehensive account of the last several years, during which our planet has risen up and began its struggle against the Empire and its oppression. Vltchek takes us to all the continents, to slums and palaces, to the villages bombed into the ground, and to the front lines of the revolution. It alerts and provokes, clarifies and leads forward. It is a book of philosophy, a collection of exceptional investigative journalist reports, and a manifesto. It will inspire millions. It will be quoted for centuries to come.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,257円

The Truth About Empire Real Histories of British Colonialism【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>The Truth About Empire</em>comes from expert historians who believe that the truth, as far as we can ascertain it, matters; that our decades of painstaking research make us worth listening to; and that our authority as leading professionals should count for something in today’s polarised debates over Britain’s imperial past.</p> <p>Colonial history is now a battlefield in the culture war. The public’s understanding of past events is continually distorted by wilful caricatures. Communities that long struggled to get their voices heard have, in their fight to highlight the hidden horrors of colonialism, alienated many who prefer a celebratory national history. The backlash, orchestrated by elements of the media, has generated a new, concerted denial of imperial racism and violence in Britain’s pastーa disinformation campaign sharing both tactics and motivations with those around Covid, Brexit and climate change.</p> <p>From Australia and China to South Africa and Egypt, this essay collection is an accessible guide to the British Empire, and a weapon of defence against the assault on historical truth. The disturbing stories told in these pages, of Empire’s culture, politics and economics, show why professional research matters, when deciding what can and cannot be known about Britain’s colonial history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,861円

Globalists The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism【電子書籍】[ Quinn Slobodian ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>George Louis Beer Prize Winner<br /> Wallace K. Ferguson Prize Finalist<br /> A <em>Marginal Revolution</em> Book of the Year</strong></p> <p><strong>“A groundbreaking contribution…Intellectual history at its best.”<br /> ーStephen Wertheim, <em>Foreign Affairs</em></strong></p> <p>Neoliberals hate the state. Or do they? In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level. It was a project that changed the world, but was also undermined time and again by the relentless change and social injustice that accompanied it.</p> <p>“Slobodian’s lucidly written intellectual history traces the ideas of a group of Western thinkers who sought to create, against a backdrop of anarchy, globally applicable economic rules. Their attempt, it turns out, succeeded all too well.”<br /> ーPankaj Mishra, <em>Bloomberg Opinion</em></p> <p>“Fascinating, innovative…Slobodian has underlined the profound conservatism of the first generation of neoliberals and their fundamental hostility to democracy.”<br /> ーAdam Tooze, <em>Dissent</em></p> <p>“The definitive history of neoliberalism as a political project.”<br /> ー<em>Boston Review</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,967円

States of Obligation Taxes and Citizenship in the Russian Empire and Early Soviet Republic【電子書籍】[ Yanni Kotsonis ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Beginning in the 1860s, the Russian Empire replaced a poll tax system that originated with Peter the Great with a modern system of income and excise taxes. Russia began a transformation of state fiscal power that was also underway across Western Europe and North America. <em>States of Obligation</em> is the first sustained study of the Russian taxation system, the first to study its European and transatlantic context, and the first to expose the essential continuities between the fiscal practices of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.</p> <p>Using a wealth of materials from provincial and local archives across Russia, Yanni Kotsonis examines how taxation was simultaneously a revenue-raising and a state-building tool, a claim on the person and a way to produce a new kind of citizenship. During successive political, wartime, and revolutionary crises between 1855 and 1928, state fiscal power was used to forge social and financial unity and fairness and a direct relationship with individual Russians. State power eventually overwhelmed both the private sector economy and the fragile realm of personal privacy. <em>States of Obligation</em> is at once a study in Russian economic history and a reflection on the modern state and the modern citizen.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 12,899円

No Abolition of Slavery Or the Universal Empire of Love, A poem【電子書籍】[ James Boswell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "No Abolition of Slavery," James Boswell presents a compelling argument that delves into the contentious debates surrounding slavery in the late 18th century. Written in a prose style that is both eloquent and incisive, the book offers an intricate exploration of the philosophical, moral, and economic dimensions of slavery. Emerging from the Enlightenment's emphasis on rationality and human rights, Boswell's work grapples with the complexities of abolition and the socio-political landscape of his time, allowing readers to witness the clash between emerging humanitarian ideals and entrenched institutional practices. James Boswell, best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson, was a keen observer of human behavior and societal norms. His extensive travels and interactions with prominent intellectuals and abolitionists shaped his views on the institution of slavery. Boswell's personal background and the socio-political climate of Scotland, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the European Enlightenment, informed his nuanced approach to the subject, enriching his arguments with diverse perspectives that resonate with the struggles of his era. This book is essential reading for those interested in the historical discourse on slavery and its moral implications. Boswell's judicious analysis not only sheds light on the issues of his time but also prompts contemporary readers to reflect critically on the enduring legacies of slavery. For scholars and general readers alike, "No Abolition of Slavery" serves as a profound invitation to engage with the moral complexities of freedom and human rights.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Broken Alliances: Inside the Rise and Fall of a Global Automotive Empire【電子書籍】[ Carlos Ghosn ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Long revered in Japan for saving Nissan from bankruptcy in 1999 and helping Renault achieve the best results in its history, Ghosn explains being transformed overnight into a pariah, torn from the world and his family as the victim of a smear campaign orchestrated by the Nissan Old Guard and the Tokyo Public Prosecutors' Office.</p> <p>Ghosn also recounts how he built the Franco-Japanese Alliance into a global motor giant, expanding operations in markets from the United States, China and Russia to Brazil, Morocco and Thailand, becoming the world's top automaker by volume in 2017. But his arrest on November 9, 2018 plunges the alliance into crisis as company share prices collapse at the same time as the global auto industry faces an unprecedented technological revolution.</p> <p>Broken Alliances involves the highest levels of political power in Japan and France and describes a Japanese judicial system closer to that of the Soviet Union under Stalin than an advanced democracy. It also addresses the reasons behind Nissan's internal coup and questions about the chairman's remuneration, his management methods and his vision for the future of the auto industry - to understand what has happened and what could still happen tomorrow.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,296円
