Achilles beside Gilgamesh Mortality and Wisdom in Early Epic Poetry【電子書籍】[ Michael Clarke ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>It is widely recognised that the epics of Homer are closely related to the earlier mythology and literature of the Ancient Near East, above all the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh. But how should this influence our response to the meaning and message of either poem? This book responds to this question through an experiment in intertextual reading. It begins by exploring Gilgamesh as a work of literature in its own right, and uses this interpretation as the springboard for a new reading of the Homeric epic, emphasising the movement within the poem - beginning from a world of heroic action and external violence, but shifting inwards to the thoughts and feelings of Achilles as he responds to the certainty that his own death will follow that of his best friend. The book will be of interest both to specialists and to those coming to ancient literature for the first time.</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。 6,835円

Jasmine and Stars Reading More Than Lolita in Tehran【電子書籍】[ Fatemeh Keshavarz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In a direct, frank, and intimate exploration of Iranian literature and society, scholar, teacher, and poet Fatemeh Keshavarz challenges popular perceptions of Iran as a society bereft of vitality and joy. Her fresh perspective on present-day Iran provides a rare insight into this rich culture alive with artistic expression but virtually unknown to most Americans.</p> <p>Keshavarz introduces readers to two modern Iranian women writers whose strong and articulate voices belie the stereotypical perception of Iranian women as voiceless victims in a country of villains. She follows with a lively critique of the recent best-seller <em>Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books</em>, which epitomizes what Keshavarz calls the “New Orientalist narrative,” a view marred by stereotype and prejudice more often tied to current geopolitical conflicts than to an understanding of Iran.</p> <p>Blending in firsthand glimpses of her own life ー from childhood memories in 1960s Shiraz to her present life as a professor in America ー Keshavarz paints a portrait of Iran depicting both cultural depth and intellectual complexity. With a scholar’s expertise and a poet’s hand, she helps amplify the powerful voices of contemporary Iranians and leads readers toward a deeper understanding of the country’s past and present.</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。 2,054円

Law Reform in Early Modern England Crown, Parliament and the Press【電子書籍】[ Barbara J Shapiro ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book provides an illuminating commentary of law reform in the early modern era (1500?1740) and views the moves to improve law and legal institutions in the context of changing political and governmental environments.</p> <p>Taking a fresh look at law reform over several centuries, it explores the efforts of the king and parliament, and the body of literature supporting law reform that emerged with the growth of print media, to assess the place of the well-known attempts of the revolutionary era in the context of earlier and later movements. Law reform is seen as a long term concern and a longer time frame is essential to understand the 1640?1660 reform measures.</p> <p>The book considers two law reform movements: the moderate movement which had a lengthy history and whose chief supporters were the governmental and parliamentary elites, and which focused on improving existing law and legal institutions, and the radical reform movement, which was concentrated in the revolutionary decades and which sought to overthrow the common law, the legal profession and the existing system of courts. Informed by attention to the institutional difficulties in completing legislation, this highlights the need to examine particular parliaments.</p> <p>Although lawyers have often been seen as the chief obstacles to law reform, this book emphasises their contributions ? particularly their role in legislation and in reforming the corpus of legal materials ? and highlights the previously ignored reform efforts of Lord Chancellors.</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。 5,790円

Semiotics: A critical analysis of three advertisements【電子書籍】[ Minea Linke ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: second upper degree, University of Lincoln (-), 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Semiotics is often easily described as the study of signs, though this definition does not foreshadow the dimension of this topic. The reason for this is that the term 'sign' is a concept of broad comprehension; a sign is a meaningful unit, which is interpreted as 'standing for' something other than itself. Signs are found in the physical form of words, images, sounds, acts or objects (...) they have no intrinsic meaning and become signs only when sign-users invest them with meaning with reference to a recognized code (Chandler, 2002, p.241). The definition of a sign as a 'thing-plus-meaning' was given by J. Williamson (Williamson, 2002, p.17). The meaning, which is made out of signs, is of great importance for us, because it is a means to structure our life, thus the study of signs is important within advertising that is a part of our daily life. The task of this paper is to show how signs create meaning by analysing three different advertisements for small cars of different brands. With the help of semiotics, but also by the consideration of the external environment of the advertisement, their messages should be identified. In the first chapter the model of the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure is discussed. The second chapter includes the model of the American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce and in the third chapter the models of Roland Bathes and Erwin Panofsky are demonstrated. Starting from these models the different advertisements are discussed in chapter four to seven. Each advertisement is classified by one of the models mentioned above. The additional investigation of the target audience and the external environment will justify the different messages. The conclusion in chapter eight represents a r?sum? of the role of semiotics within advertising.</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。 1,813円

Portfolio Models【電子書籍】[ Minea Linke ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: Degree: second upper (Germany =, University of Lincoln (-), 16 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The growing and brisk market during the 1950s and 1960s made companies to operate more and more businesses and led not only to larger and complex firms but also to a high number of divisions. The overall corporate strategy was therefore insufficient, especially when divisions led on to diversifications different strategies, business unit strategies, were required. In order to find out in which business a company should be in and how resources can be allocated amongst them, different portfolio analyses are developed in the 1970s. The idea goes back to the Portfolio Selection Theory from Markowitz (1959) in which a portfolio is described as an ideal mix of different securities. The portfolio analysis in this context can be described as a framework to analysis the balance of an organization's strategic business units (Johnson and Scholes, 1999, p.186). The objective of this piece of work is to explain the two best-known portfolio analysis approaches: The Boston Consulting Group's growthshare and growth-gain matrix and the General Electric Company business screen in regard to advantages and disadvantages, generated strategies, interdependence of products, opportunities for synergy as well as the problems which can occur when applying those models in practice. In the first chapter both models and the different strategies will be explained and definitions will be given. A comparison of both models in relation to their advantages and disadvantages can be found in the second chapter. In the third chapter the relevance of synergy will be discussed. Chapter four contains a GE matrix for Nestl? Waters and the validity of the possible strategies is critically evaluated. The conclusion can be found in chapter five.</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。 2,092円

New Essays on History and Form in Early Modern English Literature【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This volume convenes eight noted scholars with varied positions at the interface of formal and historical literary criticism. The editors’ introductionーa far-reaching account of how both methods have intersected in studies of early modern English texts since the 1990sーis the first such survey in more than 15 years, making it invaluable to scholars entering this area. Three essays address foundational questions about genre, fictionality, and formlessness; five feature close readings of texts or passages ranging from the more canonical (Shakespeare, Herbert, Milton) to the less so (an official record of the 1604 Hampton Court Conference). For scholars and students alike, the book thus models a variety of ways both to conceptualize and to analyze the value of literature at the formal?historical interface. Encompassing drama, lyric, satirical and polemical prose, and metrical as well as rhetorical and logical forms, the collection closes with an afterword by theorist Caroline Levine.</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。 9,188円

Honecker's Children Youth and patriotism in East(ern) Germany, 1979?2002【電子書籍】[ Anna Saunders ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>During the final decade of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), young citizens found themselves at the heart of a rigorous programme of socialist patriotic education, yet following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the emphasis of official state rhetoric, textbooks and youth activities changed beyond recognition. For the young generation growing up during this period, ‘normality’ was turned on its head, leaving a sense of insecurity and inner turmoil.</p> <p>Using a combination of archival research and interviews, together with educational materials and government reports, this book examines the relationship between young people and their two successive states in East(ern) Germany between 1979 and 2002. This unusual time-span straddles the 1989/1990 caesura which often delimits historical studies, and thus enables not only a detailed examination of GDR socialisation, but crucially also its influence in unified Germany. Anna Saunders explores the extent to which a young generation’s loyalties can be officially regulated in the face of cultural and historical traditions, changing material conditions and shifting social circumstances, and finds GDR socialisation to be influential to post-unification loyalties through its impact on the personal sphere, rather than through the official sphere of ideological propaganda.</p> <p>At a time of globalisation, this lucid study not only provides unique insight into the functioning of the GDR state and its longer-term impact, but also advances our broader understanding of the ways in which collective loyalties are formed. It will be of particular interest to those in the fields of German History and Politics, European Studies and Sociology.</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。 3,606円

Mine Angel Testament, #6【電子書籍】[ Thomas Volz ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>It was supposed to be a dead week. For this mysterious hitman, things just couldn't be that damn easy. The sharp-tongued soul-stealing assassin plods through life with reckless abandon - until he finds a purpose. Until Sarah Brecker.</p> <p>When the contract on her life goes unfilled, all Hell breaks loose (literally). Forced to work together, they must dodge ruthless mobsters and a variety of demons to buy enough time for Sarah. Evading ambushes proves much easier than eluding that damn dull ache in his chest. Throughout their journey, his devilish exterior softens then rebounds as he catches himself showing signs of weakness. His quick non-PC wit is only matched by the rapid-fire succession of clashes with their attackers. It gradually becomes evident that maybe there's more than just Sarah's soul at stake. If you're up for another run of the mill foul-mouthed supernatural assassin can't bring himself to kill his lust/love interest and can't get enough whiskey, Marlboro reds and bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers, then this is the book for you. Try it, and you'll never look at a vodka martini the same again.</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。 800円

Everyday Zionism in East-Central Europe Nation-Building in War and Revolution, 1914-1920【電子書籍】[ Jan Rybak ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Everyday Zionism examines Zionist activism in East-Central Europe during the years of war, occupation, revolution, the collapse of empires, and the formation of nation states in the years 1914 to 1920. Against the backdrop of the Great Warーits brutal aftermath and consequent violenceーthe day-to-day encounters between Zionist activists and the Jewish communities in the region gave the movement credibility, allowed it to win support and to establish itself as a leading force in Jewish political and social life for decades to come. Through activists' efforts, Zionism came to mean something new: Rather than being concerned with debates over Jewish nationhood and pioneering efforts in Palestine, it came to be about aiding starving populations, organizing soup-kitchens, establishing orphanages, schools, kindergartens, and hospitals, negotiating with the authorities, and leading self-defence against pogroms. Through this engagement Zionism evolved into a mass movement that attracted and inspired tens of thousands of Jews throughout the region. Everyday Zionism approaches the major European events of the period from the dual perspectives of Jewish communities and the Zionist activists on the ground, demonstrating how war, revolution, empire, and nation held very different meanings for people, depending on their local circumstances. Based on extensive archival research, the study shows how during the war and its aftermath East-Central Europe saw a large-scale nation-building project by Zionist activists who fought for and led their communities to shape for them a national future.</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。 12,332円

Famine and Scarcity in Late Medieval and Early Modern England The Regulation of Grain Marketing, 1256?1631【電子書籍】[ Buchanan Sharp ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Surveying government and crowd responses ranging from the late Middle Ages through to the early modern era, Buchanan Sharp's illuminating study examines how the English government responded to one of the most intractable problems of the period: famine and scarcity. The book provides a comprehensive account of famine relief in the late Middle Ages and evaluates the extent to which traditional market regulations enforced by thirteenth-century kings helped shape future responses to famine and scarcity in the sixteenth century. Analysing some of the oldest surviving archival evidence of public response to famine, Sharp reveals that food riots in England occurred as early as 1347, almost two centuries earlier than was previously thought. Charting the policies, public reactions and royal regulations to grain shortage, Sharp provides a fascinating contribution to our understanding of the social, economic, cultural and political make-up of medieval and early modern England.</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
