 Reproduction, Globalization, and the State New Theoretical and Ethnographic Perspectives【電子書籍】[ Rayna Rapp ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Reproduction, Globalization, and the State＜/em＞ conceptualizes and puts into practice a global anthropology of reproduction and reproductive health. Leading anthropologists offer new perspectives on how transnational migration and global flows of communications, commodities, and biotechnologies affect the reproductive lives of women and men in diverse societies throughout the world. Based on research in Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Western Europe, their fascinating ethnographies provide insight into reproduction and reproductive health broadly conceived to encompass population control, HIV/AIDS, assisted reproductive technologies, paternity tests, sex work, and humanitarian assistance. The contributors address the methodological challenges of research on globalization, including ways of combining fine-grained ethnography with analyses of large-scale political, economic, and ideological forces. Their essays reveal complex interactions among global and state population policies and politics; public health, human rights, and feminist movements; diverse medical systems; various religious practices, doctrines, and institutions; and intimate relationships and individual aspirations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Contributors＜/em＞.

 Waste and Discards in the Asia Pacific Region Social and Cultural Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book uncovers, explores and analyses the cultural and social factors and values that lie behind waste making, recycling and disposal in the Asia Pacific region, where impressive economic growth has led to significant increases in production, consumption and concomitant waste production.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This volume demonstrates the immense scope of waste as a multi-sectoral phenomenon, covering discussions on food, menstrual products, sewage, electronics, scrap, nuclear waste, plastics and even entire villages as they are submerged underwater by dam building, considered expendable in favour of economic growth. It discusses the wide range of approaches and contexts through which people interact with waste, including socio-economic analysis, participatory observation, laboratory science, art, video, installations, literature and photography. Case studies focusing on India, China and Japan, in addition to other regional examples, demonstrate the ubiquity of waste, materially and geographically. They reveal the multiple, sometimes contradictory, dimensions of waste: managing it can foster community building but can also exclude marginalized groups; waste can trigger innovative economic concepts and practices, but it can also pollute the oceans in large garbage gyres and it can wondrously change its nature from trash to useful components to new production, before being discarded once again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This timely and wide-ranging collection of essays will be an important read for scholars, researchers and students in sustainability, development studies, discard studies, and social and cultural history, particularly focusing on countries in the Asia Pacific.＜/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。 | 8,953円 |
 Housing and the New Welfare State Perspectives from East Asia and Europe【電子書籍】[ Richard Groves ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The changing nature and significance of housing provision within welfare states is considered in this timely book. With housing playing an increasingly important role in welfare provision, the new welfare state emerging in different parts of the world is being developed in the context of individual asset accumulation and the private ownership of housing. Housing and the New Welfare State shows that housing is becoming critical to asset-based welfare not only in Western Europe but also in the six East Asian housing systems that are a major focus of the book. Chapters by leading East Asian scholars provide analysis of housing policies in Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. Also examined are the 'four worlds' of welfare and housing; the causes and consequences of the shift from tenants to home owners in the old welfare states of Britain and other parts of Western Europe; and the growth of the property-owning welfare state as a theme running through contemporary policy in both East Asia and Europe.＜/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。 | 9,279円 |
 Bach Perspectives, Volume 12 Bach and the Counterpoint of Religion【電子書籍】[ Rebecca Cypess ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Johann Sebastian Bach was a Lutheran and much of his music was for Lutheran liturgical worship. As these insightful essays in the twelfth volume of Bach Perspectives demonstrate, he was also influenced by--and in turn influenced--different expressions of religious belief. The vocal music, especially the Christmas Oratorio, owes much to medieval Catholic mysticism, and the evolution of the B minor Mass has strong Catholic connections. In Leipzig, Catholic and Lutheran congregations sang many of the same vernacular hymns. Internal squabbles were rarely missing within Lutheranism, for example Pietists' dislike of concerted church music, especially if it employed specific dance forms. Also investigated here are broader issues such as the close affinity between Bach's cantata libretti and the hymns of Charles Wesley; and Bach's music in the context of the Jewish Enlightenment as shaped by Protestant Rationalism in Berlin. Contributors: Rebecca Cypess, Joyce L. Irwin, Robin A. Leaver, Mark Noll, Markus Rathey, Derek Stauff, and Janice B.

 Convergence and Diversity in the Governance of Higher Education Comparative Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For several decades, higher education systems have undergone continuous waves of reform, driven by a combination of concerns about the changing labour needs of the economy, competition within the global-knowledge economy, and nationally competitive positioning strategies to enhance the performance of higher education systems. Yet, despite far-ranging international pressures, including the emergence of an international higher education market, enormous growth in cross-border student mobility, and pressures to achieve universities of world class standing, boost research productivity and impact, and compete in global league tables, the suites of policy, policy designs and sector outcomes continue to be marked as much by hybridity as they are of similarity or convergence. This volume explores these complex governance outcomes from a theoretical and empirical comparative perspective, addressing those vectors precipitating change in the modalities and instruments of governance, and how they interface at the systemic and institutional levels, and across geographic regions.＜/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。 | 5,211円 |
 Tattoo Histories Transcultural Perspectives on the Narratives, Practices, and Representations of Tattooing【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Tattoo Histories＜/em＞is an edited volume which analyses and discusses the relevance of tattooing in the socio-cultural construction of bodies, boundaries, and identities, among both individuals and groups. Its interdisciplinary approach facilitates historical as well as contemporary perspectives. Rather than presenting a universal, essentialized history of tattooing, the volume’s objective is to focus on the entangled and transcultural histories, narratives, and practices related to tattoos. Contributions stem from various fields, including Archaeology, Art History, Classics, History, Linguistics, Media and Literary Studies, Social and Cultural Anthropology, and Sociology. They advance the current endeavour on the part of tattoo scholars to challenge Eurocentric and North American biases prevalent in much of tattoo research, by including various analyses based in locations such as Malaysia, Israel, East Africa, and India. The thematic focus is on the transformative capacity of tattoos and tattooing, with regard to the social construction of bodies and subjectivity; the (re-)creation of social relationships through the definition of (non-)tattooed others; the formation and consolidation of group identities, traditions, and authenticity; and the conceptualization of art and its relevance to tattoo artist?tattooee relations.＜/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。 | 9,279円 |
 The New Theology Exploring Modern Perspectives on Faith and Spirituality【電子書籍】[ R. J. Campbell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞R. J. Campbell's "The New Theology" emerges as a pivotal work that challenges traditional dogmas by advocating for a more progressive understanding of spirituality within the context of early 20th-century religious thought. Written in a lyrical yet accessible style, Campbell's prose weaves together theological inquiry, personal reflection, and the zeitgeist of an era ripe for reexamination of faith. The book provides a critical exploration of the intersections between religion, science, and morality, aligning with contemporary movements that sought to reconcile belief with modern knowledge while addressing the disillusionment brought on by World War I. R. J. Campbell, a notable figure in the early Liberal Christian movement, was deeply influenced by Socratic questioning and the philosophical undercurrents of his time. His theological explorations reflect his background as a minister and scholar, dedicated to expanding the horizons of faith beyond dogmatic restrictions. Campbell's work encapsulates his conviction that spirituality must evolve in response to human experiences and societal changes, making this book a vital reference for understanding the trajectory of modern theological discourse. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in contemporary theology, philosophy, or the historical shifts within Christianity. Campbell's thought-provoking arguments and thoughtful reflections serve as an invitation for individuals to engage critically with their own beliefs, encouraging a transformative journey toward a more inclusive and thoughtful spirituality.＜/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 |

Unraveling Literary Perspectives on the American Master of Mystery【電子書籍】[ Sarah Helen Whitman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Edgar Poe and His Critics," Sarah Helen Whitman delves into the complex web of critiques surrounding the enigmatic figure of Edgar Allan Poe. Through a blend of personal narrative and rigorous literary analysis, Whitman artfully navigates the tumultuous artistic landscape of the 19th century, addressing both lauded and disparaged aspects of Poe's oeuvre.

A figure deeply entrenched in the Romantic and transcendental movements, Whitman's background as a poet and critic shaped her understanding of the fragile interplay between artistic genius and societal perception. This book is essential for readers and scholars who wish to understand the full scope of Edgar Allan Poe's literary legacy.

 The Future of Islam Exploring the Islamic World: Politics, Challenges, and Future Perspectives【電子書籍】[ Wilfrid Scawen Blunt ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Future of Islam," Wilfrid Scawen Blunt embarks on a profound exploration of Islamic culture and its potential trajectory in the modern world. Written in the late 19th century, the book employs a rich, lyrical prose style, intertwining history, politics, and evocative reflections that articulate both admiration and concern for Islamic societies.

 The Reality of the Social World Medieval, Early Modern, and Contemporary Perspectives on Social Ontology【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book offers a collection of contributions on medieval, early modern, and contemporary perspectives on social ontology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the 1990s, social ontology has emerged as a vibrant research area in contemporary analytical philosophy. Questions concerning the nature and properties of social groups, institutions, facts, and objects like money and marriage, have been thoroughly discussed. However, the historical perspective has been largely neglected. One of the central aims of this volume is to show that relevant views on social ontology can be found in medieval and early modern philosophy (ca. 1200-1700 C.E.), when, for example, the ontological status of money, law, and the sacraments was hotly debated. We see, furthermore, diverging positions between Aristotelian-inspired authors, who resort to a more naturalistic view of the emergence of the social realm, and authors like Olivi and Ockham, who emphasize the role of human free will and contractualist agreements.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book is the very first to address historical and contemporary social ontologies. Both historians of philosophy and philosophers will benefit from this juxtaposition, which fosters a better understanding of historical positions and approaches by using today’s conceptual and analytical tools, and allows the contemporary debate to gain new perspectives by confronting its own medieval and early modern 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。 | 14,585円 |
 The Biolinguistic Enterprise New Perspectives on the Evolution and Nature of the Human Language Faculty【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book, by leading scholars, represents some of the main work in progress in biolinguistics. It offers fresh perspectives on language evolution and variation, new developments in theoretical linguistics, and insights on the relations between variation in language and variation in biology. The authors address the Darwinian questions on the origin and evolution of language from a minimalist perspective, and provide elegant solutions to the evolutionary gap between human language and communication in all other organisms. They consider language variation in the context of current biological approaches to species diversity - the 'evo-devo revolution' - which bring to light deep homologies between organisms. In dispensing with the classical notion of syntactic parameters, the authors argue that language variation, like biodiversity, is the result of experience and thus not a part of the language faculty in the narrow sense. They also examine the nature of this core language faculty, the primary categories with which it is concerned, the operations it performs, the syntactic constraints it poses on semantic interpretation and the role of phases in bridging the gap between brain and syntax. Written in language accessible to a wide audience, ＜em＞The Biolinguistic Enterprise＜/em＞ will appeal to scholars and students of linguistics, cognitive science, biology, and natural language processing.＜/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。 | 7,057円 |

 The Expression of Emotion Philosophical, Psychological and Legal Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Expression of Emotion collects cutting-edge essays on emotional expression written by leading philosophers, psychologists, and legal theorists. It highlights areas of interdisciplinary research interest, including facial expression, expressive action, and the role of both normativity and context in emotion perception. Whilst philosophical discussion of emotional expression has addressed the nature of expression and its relation to action theory, psychological work on the topic has focused on the specific mechanisms underpinning different facial expressions and their recognition. Further, work in both legal and political theory has had much to say about the normative role of emotional expressions, but would benefit from greater engagement with both psychological and philosophical research. In combining philosophical, psychological, and legal work on emotional expression, the present volume brings these distinct approaches into a productive conversation.＜/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。 | 5,862円 |

 Interpretations of Poetry and Religion Enriched edition. Exploring the Spiritual Essence of Poetry through Literary and Philosophical Perspectives【電子書籍】[ George Santayana ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Interpretations of Poetry and Religion," George Santayana offers a profound exploration of the intricate relationship between poetic expression and religious sentiment. The book is characterized by its philosophical depth and lyrical prose, blending critical analysis with personal reflection. Santayana deftly navigates the landscapes of metaphor and symbol, arguing that poetry serves as a vital component in the human quest for transcendence and meaning. His work situates itself within the early 20th-century movement that sought to reconcile the spiritual and the artistic, drawing upon both classical and contemporary influences to deliver an insightful critique of how poetry embodies religious truth. George Santayana, a prominent philosopher and poet, was deeply influenced by his diverse cultural background and education at Harvard. His experiences with various philosophical traditions, particularly his engagement with pragmatism and idealism, informed his views on the connection between aesthetics and spirituality. Santayana's reflections emerged from a life marked by a longing for meaning in a secular world, which shaped his approach to examining the roles of poetry and religion in society. "Interpretations of Poetry and Religion" is essential reading for anyone seeking to delve into the philosophical underpinnings of poetic discourse and its spiritual implications. Santayana's eloquent exposition invites readers to reconsider the role of art as a means of grasping the ethereal'ーmaking this work a valuable companion for students, poets, and scholars alike.

 Neuromorphic Engineering The Scientist’s, Algorithms Designer’s and Computer Architect’s Perspectives on Brain-Inspired Computing【電子書籍】[ Elishai Ezra Tsur ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The brain is not a glorified digital computer. It does not store information in registers, and it does not mathematically transform mental representations to establish perception or behavior. The brain cannot be downloaded to a computer to provide immortality, nor can it destroy the world by having its emerged consciousness traveling in cyberspace. However, studying the brain's core computation architecture can inspire scientists, computer architects, and algorithm designers to think fundamentally differently about their craft.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Neuromorphic engineers have the ultimate goal of realizing machines with some aspects of cognitive intelligence. They aspire to design computing architectures that could surpass existing digital von Neumann-based computing architectures' performance. In that sense, brain research bears the promise of a new computing paradigm. As part of a complete cognitive hardware and software ecosystem, neuromorphic engineering opens new frontiers for neuro-robotics, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing applications.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book presents neuromorphic engineering from three perspectives: the scientist, the computer architect, and the algorithm designer. It zooms in and out of the different disciplines, allowing readers with diverse backgrounds to understand and appreciate the field. Overall, the book covers the basics of neuronal modeling, neuromorphic circuits, neural architectures, event-based communication, and the neural engineering framework.＜/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。 | 10,908円 |
 God, the Good, and Utilitarianism Perspectives on Peter Singer【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Is ethics about happiness? Aristotle thought so and for centuries Christians agreed, until utilitarianism raised worries about where this would lead. In this volume, Peter Singer, leading utilitarian philosopher and controversial defender of infanticide and euthanasia, addresses this question in conversation with Christian ethicists and secular utilitarians. Their engagement reveals surprising points of agreement and difference on questions of moral theory, the history of ethics, and current issues such as climate change, abortion, poverty and animal rights. The volume explores the advantages and pitfalls of basing morality on happiness; if ethics is teleological, is its proper aim the subjective satisfaction of preferences? Or is human flourishing found in objective goods: friendship, intellectual curiosity, meaningful labour? This volume provides a timely review of how utilitarians and Christians conceive of the good, and will be of great interest to those studying religious ethics, philosophy of religion and applied ethics.＜/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。 | 5,862円 |

 Politics at a Distance from the State Radical and African Perspectives【電子書籍】[ John Holloway ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞For decades, most anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movements identified radical transformation with capturing state power. The collapse of these statist projects from the 1970s led to a global crisis of left and working-class politics. But crisis has also opened space for rediscovering alternative society-cantered, anti-capitalist modes of bottom-up change, operating at a distance from the state. These have registered important successes in practice, such as the Zapatistas in Mexico, and Rojava in Syria. They have been a key influence on movements from Occupy in United States, to the landless in Latin America, to anti-austerity struggles in Europe and Asia, to urban movements in Africa. Their lineages include anarchism, syndicalism, autonomist Marxism, philosophers like Alain Badiou, and radical popular praxis. This path-breaking volume recovers this understanding of social transformation, long side-lined but now resurgent, like a seed in the soil that keeps breaking through and growing. It provides case studies with reference to South Africa and Zimbabwe, and includes a dossier of key texts from a century of anarchists, syndicalists, insurgent unionists and anti-apartheid activists in South Africa. Originating in an African summit of radical academics, struggle veterans and social movements, the book includes a preface from John Holloway.＜/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。 | 952円 |

 The Extractive Zone Social Ecologies and Decolonial Perspectives【電子書籍】[ Macarena G?mez-Barris ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In ＜em＞The Extractive Zone＜/em＞ Macarena G?mez-Barris traces the political, aesthetic, and performative practices that emerge in opposition to the ruinous effects of extractive capital. The work of Indigenous activists, intellectuals, and artists in spaces G?mez-Barris labels extractive zonesーmajority indigenous regions in South America noted for their biodiversity and long history of exploitative natural resource extractionーresist and refuse the terms of racial capital and the continued legacies of colonialism. Extending decolonial theory with race, sexuality, and critical Indigenous studies, G?mez-Barris develops new vocabularies for alternative forms of social and political life. She shows how from Colombia to southern Chile artists like filmmaker Huichaqueo Perez and visual artist Carolina Caycedo formulate decolonial aesthetics. She also examines the decolonizing politics of a Bolivian anarcho-feminist collective and a coalition in eastern Ecuador that protects the region from oil drilling. In so doing, G?mez-Barris reveals the continued presence of colonial logics and locates emergent modes of living beyond the boundaries of destructive extractive capital.＜/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。 | 3,380円 |

 Theism or Atheism: The Great Alternative Exploring the Age-Old Debate: Philosophy and Perspectives on Belief【電子書籍】[ Chapman Cohen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Theism or Atheism: The Great Alternative," Chapman Cohen navigates the philosophical terrain separating belief from skepticism, presenting a rigorous critique of theism while defending the merits of atheism. Written in a clear, incisive style, Cohen employs logical reasoning and empirical evidence to challenge traditional religious doctrines, making this work both accessible and intellectually stimulating. The book situates itself within the broader context of early 20th-century secular thought, engaging with arguments from prominent contemporaries while advocating for a worldview grounded in human experience rather than divine intervention. Chapman Cohen, a prominent figure in the British freethought movement, was deeply influenced by his own intellectual journey away from religious dogma. His experiences as a secularist and a lecturer on philosophy inspired him to confront the age-old dilemmas surrounding faith and reason. Cohen's background in rationalist discourse positions him as an authoritative voice in the ongoing debate about the role of religion in modern society, providing readers with critical insights born from personal conviction and extensive scholarship. This thought-provoking book is highly recommended for anyone grappling with existential questions about the nature of belief. Cohen'??s articulate exposition makes it suitable for both seasoned philosophers and individuals seeking clarity in their own understanding of theism and atheism. "Theism or Atheism" serves not only as an intellectual challenge but as a compelling invitation to reflect on one's beliefs in the face of modernity.＜/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 |

 The Grammar of Japanese Mimetics Perspectives from structure, acquisition, and translation【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Mimetic words, also known as ‘sound-symbolic words’, ‘ideophones’ or more popularly as ‘onomatopoeia’, constitute an important subset of the Japanese lexicon; we find them as well in the lexicons of other Asian languages and sub-Saharan African languages. Mimetics play a central role in Japanese grammar and feature in children’s early utterances. However, this class of words is not considered as important in English and other European languages. This book aims to bridge the gap between the extensive research on Japanese mimetics and its availability to an international audience, and also to provide a better understanding of grammatical and structural aspects of sound-symbolic words from a Japanese perspective. Through the accounts of mimetics from the perspectives of morpho-syntax, semantics, language development and translation of mimetic words, linguists and students alike would find this book particularly valuable.＜/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。 | 9,767円 |
