Hybridity in Peacebuilding and Development A Critical and Reflexive Approach【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The concept of hybridity highlights complex processes of interaction and transformation between different institutional and social forms, and normative systems. It has been used in numerous ways to generate important analytical and methodological insights into peacebuilding and development. Its most recent application in the social sciences has also attracted powerful critiques that have highlighted its limitations and challenged its continuing usage.</p> <p>This book examines whether the value of hybridity as a concept can continue to be harnessed, and how its shortcomings might be mitigated or overcome. It does so in an interdisciplinary way, as hybridity has been used as a benchmark across multiple disciplines and areas of practical engagement over the past decade ? including peacebuilding, state-building, justice reform, security, development studies, anthropology, and economics. This book encourages a dialogue about the uses and critiques of hybridity from a variety of perspectives and vantage points, including deeply ethnographic works, high-level theory, and applied policy work. The authors conclude that there is continued value in the concept of hybridity, but argue that this value can only be realised if the concept is engaged with in a reflexive and critical way.</p> <p>This book was originally published as a special issue of the online journal <em>Third World Thematics</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。

Tolstoy on Shakespeare Enriched edition. A Critical Essay on Shakespeare【電子書籍】[ Leo graf Tolstoy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Tolstoy on Shakespeare," Leo Tolstoy offers a profound, critical examination of Shakespeare's works, blending incisive literary analysis with personal reflection. Utilizing a clear, yet evocative prose style, Tolstoy critiques the moral implications and artistic merit of Shakespeare's plays, arguing that they lack the ethical depth and philosophical rigor he values in literature. This book emerges from the broader context of Tolstoy's own literary journey, particularly his exploration of morality, truth, and the human condition, as he grapples with the role of art in society. Tolstoy, a literary titan and moral philosopher, was committed to a vision of storytelling that transcended mere entertainment. His experiences as a writer and a thinker, alongside his ethical struggles, deeply inform this analysis. The work emerges during a transformative period in Tolstoy's life, where he sought to distill art to its essential truths, contrasting sharply with Shakespeare's grandiose themes and complex characters, which he perceived as morally ambiguous. I recommend "Tolstoy on Shakespeare" to anyone interested in the intersection of literature and ethics, as well as those who appreciate profound literary critiques. Tolstoy's perspective encourages readers to reassess not only Shakespeare's works but the very purpose of art, providing a stimulating framework that resonates through the ages. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.</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。

The Kaiju Film A Critical Study of Cinema's Biggest Monsters【電子書籍】[ Jason Barr ]

Since the seminal <em>King Kong</em> 1933) and the archetypal <em>Godzilla</em> (1954), kaiju has mined the subject matter of science run amok, militarism, capitalism, colonialism, consumerism and pollution.</p> <p>This critical examination of kaiju considers the entirety of the genre--the major franchises, along with less well known films like <em>Kronos</em> (1957), <em>Monsters</em> (2010) and <em>Pacific Rim</em> (2013).

Critical Craft Technology, Globalization, and Capitalism【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>From Oaxacan wood carvings to dessert kitchens in provincial France, Critical Craft presents thirteen ethnographies which examine what defines and makes ‘craft’ in a wide variety of practices from around the world. Challenging the conventional understanding of craft as a survival, a revival, or something that resists capitalism, the book turns instead to the designers, DIY enthusiasts, traditional artisans, and technical programmers who consider their labor to be craft, in order to comprehend how they make sense of it. The authors’ ethnographic studies focus on the individuals and communities who claim a practice as their own, bypassing the question of craft survival to ask how and why activities termed craft are mobilized and reproduced. Moving beyond regional studies of heritage artisanship, the authors suggest that ideas of craft are by definition part of a larger cosmopolitan dialogue of power and identity. By paying careful attention to these sometimes conflicting voices, this collection shows that there is great flexibility in terms of which activities are labelled ‘craft’. In fact, there are many related ideas of craft and these shape distinct engagements with materials, people, and the economy. Case studies from countries including Mexico, Nigeria, India, Taiwan, the Philippines, and France draw together evidence based on linguistics, microsociology, and participant observation to explore the shifting terrain on which those engaged in craft are operating. What emerges is a fascinating picture which shows how claims about craft are an integral part of contemporary global change.</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。

His literary style combines scholarly precision with accessible prose, making intricate events and figures comprehensible to a broad audience while maintaining a high degree of academic integrity. E. Vacandard was deeply influenced by the socio-political turbulence of early 20th-century Europe, which informs his critical perspective on religious authority and moral absolutism. His previous works on ecclesiastical history laid the groundwork for this comprehensive study, revealing his commitment to addressing misconceptions surrounding the Inquisition.

I highly recommend "The Inquisition" to anyone interested in the intersections of faith, power, and morality.

A Critical History of Contemporary Architecture 1960-2010【電子書籍】[ Elie G. Haddad ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>1960, following as it did the last CIAM meeting, signalled a turning point for the Modern Movement. From then on, architecture was influenced by seminal texts by Aldo Rossi and Robert Venturi, and gave rise to the first revisionary movement following Modernism. Bringing together leading experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. It consists of two parts: the first section providing a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960, and the second, a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors, but also charts a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the more 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.</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。

M. Cousin's Course of Philosophy Enriched edition. Exploring Cousin's Philosophical Legacy through Hamilton's Critical Lens【電子書籍】[ William Hamilton ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>William Hamilton's "M. Cousin's Course of Philosophy" serves as a comprehensive exploration of French spiritualism and its impact on 19th-century philosophical discourse. Through a meticulous translation and analysis of Victor Cousin's lectures, Hamilton articulates the intricacies of Cousin's thought, merging clear, accessible prose with deeper philosophical inquiries. This work not only engages with metaphysical concepts but also situates them within the broader context of European intellectual history, illustrating how Cousin's synthesis of rationalism and idealism paved the way for later philosophical movements, particularly in Britain.

Water A Critical Introduction【電子書籍】[ Katie Meehan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Discover the hydrosocial cycle and the impact of power, knowledge, and scarcity on water rights and use through this engaging and student-friendly textbook</strong></p> <p>In <em>Water: A Critical Introduction</em>, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an expert examination of our most pressing water-related challenges, arguing that flows of water are shaped by social practices and geometries of power. Combining first-hand research and headline case studies, the authors reveal the hydrosocial relations often hidden in mainstream accounts of water, delving into current issues like water scarcity, floods, global water governance, legal conflicts, human rights, potable water provision, health, the water-food-energy nexus, and much more.</p> <p>Spanning five centuries, this comprehensive volume reflects on how imperial expansion has shaped hydrosocial relations in and between Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, how water demand has changed over time, and how this change impacted lifestyle.</p> <p>As the first major text to synthesize critical water research in both local and global perspectives, this book is anchored by clear and compelling arguments ー the "four planks" ー and supported by the authors' original research and up-to-date synthesis of the latest critical research on major water problems. It also includes maps, illustrations, and additional learning materials to be used by educators. Readers will find:</p> <ul> <li>A lively and thorough introduction that explains why a critical approach is necessary to fully understand our current water challenges, with a focus on the "skeptical superhero"</li> <li>A global approach to key debates in water issues, including large dams, privatization, transboundary conflicts, agriculture and irrigation, water and sanitation provision, human rights, governance dilemmas, and the Sustainable Development Goals</li> <li>Comprehensive explorations of the roles played by expert knowledge, global capital, climate change, and justice struggles in the hydrosocial cycle</li> <li>Critical theoretical perspectives that integrate environmental social sciences, feminist critique, and a broadly defined political economy with the specificities of water resources</li> <li>Fulsome treatments of water governance, science, and management, including the origins and implications of neoliberal approaches to the privatization, commodification, and financialization of water</li> <li>An accessible text that "invites the reader" on a critical journey</li> </ul> <p><em>Water: A Critical Introduction</em> is a key text for advanced high school, undergraduate, and graduate students who want a keener understanding of trends in environmental management, political ecology, and water governance, science, and engineering. Written with an interdisciplinary audience in mind, this book will benefit students taking courses in environmental studies, environmental law, geopolitics, international studies, human geography, hydrology, engineering, environmental economics, and related disciplines.</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。

Screens of Blood A Critical Approach to Film and Television Violence【電子書籍】[ Gregory Desilet ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Civilization seems to move ever more toward the power of words over weapons. But many people, especially Americans, still believe wrongs in life can be righted with a fist or a gun or a bomb. Cultural mythology lags reality and continues to send the message of regeneration through violence. But the transition to a healthier mythology is already underway and can be seen in the strength of an alternative trend in depictions of violence in storytelling.</p> <p>This book examines this trend by comparing examples drawn from film and television with the traditional popular dramatic approach--reflecting and promoting a culture of violence. This comparison shows that attitudes toward conflict in drama are a key indicator of a shift in awareness of violence in society. The book concludes with an account of increasing challenges confronting the individual in today's world and the necessity for individual producers and consumers to take greater responsibility for their choices--which shape culture through omnipresent and profoundly influential screen technology.</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。

Social Justice for the Oppressed Critical Educators and Intellectuals Speak Out【電子書籍】[ Pierre Wilbert Orelus ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book draws from interviews conducted with prominent social justice educators and activist intellectuals, such as Noam Chomsky, Gayatri Spivak, Stuart Hall, Henry Giroux, Antonia Darder, Molefi Asante, and Maxine Greene, to examine various forms of social inequities occurring in schools and society perpetrated by those in power. These educators and intellectuals use examples drawn from both personal and professional experiences and relevant literature to point out the manner in which multiple forms of oppression intersect, in both hidden and visible ways, to affect the lives of oppressed groups and disfranchised communities. This book seeks to shed light on various manifestations of social injustices aiming to inspire critical, radical thoughts for socio-political action leading to educational and social change.</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。

Biblical Critical Theory How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture【電子書籍】[ Christopher Watkin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>*With a foreword from Tim Keller*</strong></p> <p><strong>A bold vision for Christians who want to engage the world in a way that is biblically faithful and culturally sensitive.</strong></p> <p>In <em>Biblical Critical Theory</em>, Christopher Watkin shows how the Bible and its unfolding story help us make sense of modern life and culture.</p> <p>Critical theories exist to critique what we think we know about reality and the social, political, and cultural structures in which we live. In doing so, they make visible the values and beliefs of a culture in order to scrutinize and change them.</p> <p><em>Biblical Critical Theory</em> exposes and evaluates the often-hidden assumptions and concepts that shape late-modern society, examining them through the lens of the biblical story running from Genesis to Revelation, and asking urgent questions like:</p> <ul> <li>How does the Bible's storyline help us understand our society, our culture, and ourselves?</li> <li>How do specific doctrines help us engage thoughtfully in the philosophical, political, and social questions of our day?</li> <li>How can we analyze and critique culture and its alternative critical theories through Scripture?</li> </ul> <p>Informed by the biblical-theological structure of Saint Augustine's magisterial work <em>The City of God</em> (and with extensive diagrams and practical tools), <em>Biblical Critical Theory</em> shows how the patterns of the Bible's storyline can provide incisive, fresh, and nuanced ways of intervening in today's debates on everything from science, the arts, and politics to dignity, multiculturalism, and equality. You'll learn the moves to make and the tools to use in analyzing and engaging with all sorts of cultural artifacts and events in a way that is both biblically faithful and culturally relevant.</p> <p>It is not enough for Christians to explain the Bible to the culture or cultures in which we live. We must also explain the culture in which we live within the framework and categories of the Bible, revealing how the whole of the Bible sheds light on the whole of life.</p> <p>If Christians want to speak with a fresh, engaging, and dynamic voice in the marketplace of ideas today, we need to mine the unique treasures of the distinctive biblical storyline.</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。

<p><strong>Winner of the 2022 Association for the Study of Japanese Mountain Religion Book Prize</strong></p> <p><em>Defining Shugendo</em> brings together leading international experts on Japanese mountain asceticism to discuss what has been an essential component of Japanese religions for more than a thousand years.</p> <p>Contributors explore how mountains have been abodes of deities, a resting place for the dead, sources of natural bounty and calamities, places of religious activities, and a vast repository of symbols. The book shows that many peoples have chosen them as sites for ascetic practices, claiming the potential to attain supernatural powers there.</p> <p>This book discusses the history of scholarship on Shugendo, the development process of mountain worship, and the religious and philosophical features of devotion at specific sacred mountains. Moreover, it reveals the rich material and visual culture associated with Shugendo, from statues and steles, to talismans and written oaths.</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。
