 A Yankee in Canada with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers Essays on Individualism, Civil Disobedience, and Social Reform【電子書籍】[ Henry D. Thoreau ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "A Yankee in Canada with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers," Henry D. Thoreau intricately weaves his profound reflections on identity, nature, and moral philosophy within the landscape of Canada. Through a series of essays and observations, Thoreau employs a lyrical and meditative literary style, effectively capturing the essence of his encounters with the Canadian wilderness. The work stands as a poignant exploration of the societal and ethical issues of the time, especially regarding slavery and social reform, reflecting the transcendentalist ideals that permeate much of his oeuvre. Born in 1817, Thoreau was a pivotal figure in American transcendentalism, heavily influenced by his philosophical mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson. His experiences in Walden, combined with his staunch opposition to slavery, galvanized his belief in civil disobedience and individual conscience. This collection, written during 1850-1866, showcases Thoreau's unique ability to critique contemporary society while advocating for social justice, making significant strides toward the themes manifest in his later works. This book is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of nature, ethics, and social reform. Thoreau'??s eloquent prose invites readers to reflect on their own moral standings and encourages a deeper engagement with the pressing issues of both his time and our own. The relevance of his thoughts ensures that this work remains a vital part of the American literary canon.＜/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。 | 310円 |
 Spirituality and Reform Christianity in the West, ca. 1000?1800【電子書籍】[ Calvin Lane ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In colorful detail, Calvin Lane explores the dynamic intersection between reform movements and everyday Christian practice from ca. 1000 to ca. 1800. Lowering the artificial boundaries between “the Middle Ages,” “the Reformation,” and “the Enlightenment,” Lane brings to life a series of reform programs each of which developed new sensibilities about what it meant to live the Christian life. Along this tour, Lane discusses music, art, pilgrimage, relics, architecture, heresy, martyrdom, patterns of personal prayer, changes in marriage and family life, connections between church bodies and governing authorities, and certainly worship. The thread that he finds running from the Benedictine revival in the eleventh century to the pietistic movements of the eighteenth is a passionate desire to return to a primitive era of Christianity, a time of imagined apostolic authenticity, even purity. In accessible language, he introduces readers to Cistercians and Calvinists, Franciscans and Jesuits, Lutherans and Jansenists, Moravians and Methodists to name but a few of the many reform movements studied in this book. Although Lane highlights their diversity, he argues that each movement rooted its characteristic practice ? their spirituality ? in an imaginative recovery of the apostolic life.＜/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。 | 5,777円 |
 Art and Reform in the Late Renaissance After Trent【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Drawing on recent research by established and emerging scholars of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century art, this volume reconsiders the art and architecture produced after 1563 across the conventional geographic borders. Rather than considering this period a degraded afterword to Renaissance classicism or an inchoate proto-Baroque, the book seeks to understand the art on its own terms. By considering artists such as Federico Barocci and Stefano Maderno in Italy, Hendrick Goltzius in the Netherlands, Antoine Caron in France, Francisco Ribalta in Spain, and Bartolomeo Bitti in Peru, the contributors highlight lesser known "reforms" of art from outside the conventional centers. As the first text to cover this formative period from an international perspective, this volume casts new light on the aftermath of the Renaissance and the beginnings of "Baroque."＜/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。 | 10,280円 |
 Hidden Stories ? the Life Reform Movements and Art【電子書籍】[ Johanna Hopfner ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Around 1900, a series of reform movements emerge that break through the mainstream of modern, technocratic and industrial developments, and in many areas of life seek alternative possibilities and new ways. Enthusiastic, open-minded and inspired by an attitude to life that ventures ideologically, artistically and socially into hitherto unknown zones, one wants to oppose the harsh realities to a different, creative, profound and experiential reality. These diverse aspects and their interdisciplinary interweaving often remained hidden in historical retrospectives. In 2018, an exhibition in an art gallery in Budapest titled ＜em＞Hidden Stories - The Life Reform Movements and Art＜/em＞ offered unique and surprising insights into the interconnectedness of people and works. In the subsequent conference of the same name, experts from science, art and culture devoted themselves to the hitherto little-known relationships between artists and individual reform movements. The resulting volume reveals and presents the international effectiveness of artists from Hungary as well as from other countries, who have shaped a changed attitude to life in the expressions of music, dance and performing arts. In artist colonies, garden centers and educational reform projects, they created specially places that allowed a changed lifestyle. There are always different ideological, religious and spiritual views in the background that are analyzed here.＜/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。 | 12,200円 |
 The Shape of Utopia The Architecture of Radical Reform in Nineteenth-Century America【電子書籍】[ Irene Cheng ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞How nineteenth-century social reformers devised a new set of radical blueprints for society＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the middle of the nineteenth century, a utopian impulse flourished in the United States through the circulation of architectural and urban plans predicated on geometrically distinct designs. Though the majority of such plans remained unrealized, ＜em＞The Shape of Utopia＜/em＞ emphasizes the enduring importance of these radical propositions and their ability to visualize alternatives to what was then a newly emerging capitalist nation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing diagrammatic plans for structures such as octagonal houses, a hexagonal anarchist city, and circular centers of equitable commerce, these various architectural utopians applied geometric forms to envision a more just and harmonious society. Highlighting the inherent political capacity of architecture, Irene Cheng showcases how these visionary planners used their blueprints as persuasive visual rhetoric that could mobilize others to share in their aspirations for a better world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Offering an extensive and uniquely focused view of mid-nineteenth-century America’s rapidly changing cultural landscape, this book examines these utopian plans within the context of significant economic and technological transformation, encompassing movements such as phrenology, anarchism, and spiritualism. Engaging equally with architectural history, visual culture studies, and U.S. history, ＜em＞The Shape of Utopia＜/em＞ documents a pivotal moment in American history when ordinary people ardently believed in the potential to reshape society.＜/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。 | 4,643円 |
 Sounds of liberty Music, radicalism and reform in the Anglophone world, 1790?1914【電子書籍】[ Kate Bowan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Throughout the long nineteenth-century the sounds of liberty resonated across the Anglophone world. Focusing on radicals and reformers committed to the struggle for a better future, this book explores the role of music in the transmission of political culture over time and distance. Following in the footsteps of relentlessly travelling activists ? women and men - it brings to light the importance of music making in the lived experience of politics. It shows how music encouraged, unified, divided, consoled, reminded, inspired and, at times, oppressed. The book examines iconic songs; the sound of music as radicals and reformers were marching, electioneering, celebrating, commemorating as well as striking, rioting and rebelling; and it listens within the walls of a range of associations where it was a part of a way of life, inspiring, nurturing, though at times restrictive. It provides an opportunity to hear history as it happened.＜/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。 | 4,106円 |
 The architecture of social reform Housing, tradition, and German Modernism【電子書籍】[ Isabel Rousset ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞The architecture of social reform＜/em＞ explores the fascinating intellectual origins of modern architecture’s obsession with domesticity. Copiously illustrated, Rousset’s revealing analysis demonstrates how questions over aesthetics, style, urbanization, and technology that gripped the modernist imagination were deeply ingrained in a larger concern to reform society through housing. The increasing demand for new housing in Germany’s rapidly growing cities fostered critical exchanges between a heterogeneous group of actors, including architects, urban theorists, planners, and social scientists, who called for society to be freed from class antagonism through the provision of good, modest, traditionally-minded domestic design. Offering a compelling account of architecture’s ability to act socially, the book provocatively argues that architectural theory underwent its most critical epistemological transformation in relation to the dynamics of modern class politics long before the arrival of the avant-garde.＜/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。 | 17,246円 |
 A New Deal for Navajo Weaving Reform and Revival of Din? Textiles【電子書籍】[ Jennifer McLerran ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞A ＜em＞New Deal for Navajo Weaving＜/em＞ provides a detailed history of early to mid-twentieth-century Din? weaving projects by non-Natives who sought to improve the quality and marketability of Navajo weaving but in so doing failed to understand the cultural significance of weaving and its role in the lives of Din? women.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By the 1920s the durability and market value of Din? weavings had declined dramatically. Indian welfare advocates established projects aimed at improving the materials and techniques. Private efforts served as models for federal programs instituted by New Deal administrators. Historian Jennifer McLerran details how federal officials developed programs such as the Southwest Range and Sheep Breeding Laboratory at Fort Wingate in New Mexico and the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild. Other federal efforts included the publication of Native natural dye recipes; the publication of portfolios of weaving designs to guide artisans; and the education of consumers through the exhibition of weavings, aiding them in their purchases and cultivating an upscale market. McLerran details how government officials sought to use these programs to bring the Din? into the national economy; instead, these federal tactics were ineffective because they marginalized Navajo women and ignored the important role weaving plays in the resilience and endurance of wider Din? culture.＜/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。 | 4,908円 |
 Parking Reform Made Easy【電子書籍】[ Richard W. Willson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Today, there are more than three parking spaces for every car in the United States. No one likes searching for a space, but in many areas, there is an oversupply, wasting valuable land, damaging the environment, and deterring development. Richard W. Willson argues that the problem stems from outdated minimum parking requirements. In this practical guide, he shows practitioners how to reform parking requirements in a way that supports planning goals and creates vibrant cities.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Local planners and policymakers, traffic engineers, developers, and community members are actively seeking this information as they institute principles of Smart Growth. But making effective changes requires more than relying on national averages or copying information from neighboring communities. Instead, Willson shows how professionals can confidently create requirements based on local parking data, an understanding of future trends affecting parking use, and clear policy choices.＜/p＞ ＜p＞After putting parking and parking requirements in context, the book offers an accessible tool kit to get started and repair outdated requirements. It looks in depth at parking requirements for multifamily developments, including income-restricted housing, workplaces, and mixed-use, transit-oriented development. Case studies for each type of parking illustrate what works, what doesn’t, and how to overcome challenges. Willson also explores the process of codifying regulations and how to work with stakeholders to avoid political conflicts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With ＜em＞Parking Reform Made Easy＜/em＞, practitioners will learn, step-by-step, how to improve requirements. The result will be higher density, healthier, more energy-efficient, and livable communities. This book will be exceptionally useful for local and regional land use and transportation planners, transportation engineers, real estate developers, citizen activists, and students of transportation planning and urban policy.＜/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。 | 6,101円 |
 British Regionalism and Devolution The Challenges of State Reform and European Integration【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This contributors provide a range of perspectives on the increasingly central issues of state reform, European integration and British regionalism in the 1990s. Using case material, the contributors examine: the effects of state reform and European integration on British regionalism and the devolution debate; and the nature of recent central responses to the re-emergence of regional and devolution issues, with a particular focus on the recent policies of the Major governments and the policies of the Opposition parties. They also present some evidence which suggests that state reform and EC/EU developments have determined and accentuated important new trends in British regionalism, and underpin the plausibility of far-reaching regional and devolution reforms.＜/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。 | 14,592円 |
 Morganza Pennsylvania's Reform School【電子書籍】[ Christopher R. Barraclough ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Originally the House of Refuge in Pittsburgh, the facility was moved to a healthier setting in 1876, taken over by the state, and converted into an institution for the incarceration of juvenile offenders. Local parents would threaten to send their children there if they misbehaved. Morganza has long been a draw for historical researchers, urban explorers, ghost hunters, and others interested to learn more about those who lived and worked there. Morganza was easily identified by its administration building capped by a striking copper cupola, located prominently just off Interstate 79 in Cecil Township. Its distinctive architecture was also featured in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs. Over the years, Morganza underwent several name changes. Standing as a containment campus for delinquent youths for just over 90 years, it later functioned as a facility to aid the mentally handicapped until its closure in 2000.＜/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。 | 1,917円 |

 Transforming the Church Interior in Renaissance Florence Screens and Choir Spaces, from the Middle Ages to Tridentine Reform【電子書籍】[ Joanne Allen ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Before the late sixteenth century, the churches of Florence were internally divided by monumental screens that separated the laity in the nave from the clergy in the choir precinct. Enabling both separation and mediation, these screens were impressive artistic structures that controlled social interactions, facilitated liturgical performances, and variably framed or obscured religious ritual and imagery. In the 1560s and 70s, screens were routinely destroyed in a period of religious reforms, irreversibly transforming the function, meaning, and spatial dynamics of the church interior. In this volume, Joanne Allen explores the widespread presence of screens and their role in Florentine social and religious life prior to the Counter-Reformation. She presents unpublished documentation and new reconstructions of screens and the choir precincts which they delimited. Elucidating issues such as gender, patronage, and class, her study makes these vanished structures comprehensible and deepens our understanding of the impact of religious reform on church architecture.＜/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。 | 16,848円 |
 Art Nouveau A Research Guide for Design Reform in France, Belgium, England, and the United States【電子書籍】[ Gabriel P. Weisberg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞First published in 1998. Design reform in the fields of architecture and the decorative or applied arts became objectified through writings published during the period of 1885 to 1910. This investigation includes, but is not limited to, Art Nouveau in France and Belgium, and the arts and crafts movement in England and the United States. Even though the similar processes of creativity and shared goals of Art Nouveau and the arts and crafts movement have long been recognized, attempts to explore their origins and their points of interrelation with the broader scope of art history have been largely unsuccessfulーuntil now.＜/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。 | 11,772円 |
 Music, Culture and Social Reform in the Age of Wagner【電子書籍】[ James Garratt ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Challenging received views of music in nineteenth-century German thought, culture and society, this 2010 book provides a radical reappraisal of its socio-political meanings and functions. Garratt argues that far from governing the nineteenth-century musical discourse and practice, the concept of artistic autonomy and the aesthetic categories bequeathed by Weimar classicism were persistently challenged by alternative models of music's social role. The book investigates these competing models and the social projects that gave rise to them. It interrogates nineteenth-century musical discourse, discussing a wide range of manifestos championing musical democratization or seeking to make music an engine for the transformation of society. In addition, it explores institutions and movements that attempted to realize these goals, and compositions - by Mendelssohn, Lortzing and Liszt as well as Wagner - in which the relation between aesthetic and social claims is programmatic.＜/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。 | 16,848円 |
 K?ln im Schatten Napoleons: Revolution, Reform und Widerstand Der Einfluss der franz?sischen Besatzung auf K?lns Verwaltung, Gesellschaft und Widerstand【電子書籍】[ Bertrand Boncourt ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Im sp?ten 18. und fr?hen 19. Jahrhundert erlebte K?ln eine der tiefgreifendsten Umbruchszeiten seiner Geschichte. Unter der franz?sischen Besatzung Napoleons wurde die Stadt nicht nur zu einem strategischen Knotenpunkt, sondern auch zu einem Laboratorium revolution?rer Reformen. Bertrand Boncourt beleuchtet in diesem fesselnden Werk, wie die franz?sische Herrschaft K?lns Verwaltungssystem ver?nderte, alte Strukturen aufbrach und die Gesellschaft nachhaltig pr?gte. Boncourt zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie die Besatzer neue rechtliche und administrative Standards einf?hrten, w?hrend gleichzeitig Teile der Bev?lkerung sich gegen diese Ver?nderungen auflehnten und subtile Formen des Widerstands entwickelten. Die kulturelle und politische Transformation K?lns steht dabei ebenso im Mittelpunkt wie die Rolle der B?rger, die zwischen Kollaboration und Opposition schwankten. Dieses Buch entf?hrt den Leser in eine turbulente Zeit, in der Revolution, Reformen und gesellschaftlicher Wandel das Leben der K?lner nachhaltig beeinflussten. Ein unverzichtbares Werk f?r alle, die sich f?r die Geschichte Napoleons, die Auswirkungen seiner Herrschaft und die Transformation einer der bedeutendsten St?dte am Rhein interessieren.＜/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。 | 3,900円 |

The Museum for Art and Industry (now the Museum of Applied Arts) as well as its design school occupies a prominent place in the study.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book also gives equal attention to museums of design and applied arts in cities elsewhere in the Empire, such as Budapest Prague, Cracow, Brno and Zagreb.

 A Yankee in Canada, with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers Reflections on Social Justice and Moral Courage in 19th Century America【電子書籍】[ Henry David Thoreau ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "A Yankee in Canada, with Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers," Henry David Thoreau presents a compelling exploration of his travels in Canada intertwined with his staunch social critiques. The essays reflect Thoreau's signature transcendental style, characterized by rich, poetic prose and a deep engagement with nature and society. Throughout the work, Thoreau grapples with themes of individualism, civil disobedience, and the moral obligations of citizens in a society tainted by slavery and injustice. The book serves as both a travel narrative and a treatise on reform, set against the backdrop of 19th-century American political tensions that challenged the ethics of slavery and sought to inspire social change. Thoreau, a prominent figure in the transcendentalist movement, was deeply influenced by his surroundings in New England, as well as his philosophical musings on nature and society. His experiences in Canada prompted reflections on freedom and the nature of borders, which are woven through his anti-slavery sentiments. The essays articulate not only his geographical journey but also a vital intellectual odyssey, driven by his conviction in the necessity of social reform and personal responsibility. Readers interested in the intersections of travel, ethics, and American history will find "A Yankee in Canada" indispensable. Thoreau'??s articulate plea for social justice resonates powerfully, making the book a timeless read. It's a call to action; inviting all to reflect on their role in societal change and encouraging a profound appreciation of the natural world.＜/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。 | 310円 |
 Television in Post-Reform China Serial Dramas, Confucian Leadership and the Global Television Market【電子書籍】[ Ying Zhu ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book explores the political, economic, and cultural forces, locally and globally that have shaped the evolution of Chinese primetime television dramas, and the way that these dramas in turn have actively engaged in the major intellectual and policy debates concerning the path, steps, and speed of China’s economic and political modernization during the post-Deng Xiaoping era. It intertwines the evolution of Chinese television drama particularly with the ascendance of the Chinese New Left that favors a recentralization of state authority and an alternative path towards China’s modernization and China’s current administration’s call for building a "harmonious society." Two types of serial drama are highlighted in this regard, the politically provocative dynasty drama and the culturally ambiguous domestic drama. The book also provides cross-cultural comparisons that parallel the textual and institutional strategies of transnational Chinese language TV dramas with dramas from the three leading centers of transnational television production, the US, Brazil and Mexico in Latin America, and the Korean-led East Asia region. The comparison reveals creative connections while it also explores how the emergence of a Chinese cultural-linguistic market, together with other cultural-linguistic markets, complicates the power dynamics of global cultural flows.＜/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。 | 7,129円 |
 China Turned On Television, Reform and Resistance【電子書籍】[ James Lull ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The years following the Cultural Revolution saw the arrival of television as part of China’s effort to ‘modernize’ and open up to the West. Endorsed by the Deng Xiaoping regime as a ‘bridge’ between government and the people, television became at once the official mouthpiece of the Communist Party and the most popular form of entertainment for Chinese people living in the cities. But the authorities failed to realize the unmatched cultural power of television to inspire resistance to official ideologies, expectations, and lifestyles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The presence of television in the homes of the urban Chinese strikingly broadened the cultural and political awareness of its audience and provoked the people to imagine better ways of living as individuals, families, and as a nation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Originally published in 1991, set within the framework of China’s political and economic environment in the modernization period, this insightful analysis is based on ethnographic data collected in China before and after the Tiananmen Square disaster. From interviews with leading Chinese television executives and nearly one hundred families in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Xian, the author outlays how Chinese television fosters opposition to the government through the work routines of media professionals, television imagery, and the role of critical, active audience members.＜/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。 | 11,109円 |

Essential." ー ＜em＞Choice＜/em＞ (An Outstanding Academic Title of the Year)＜/strong＞＜br /＞ By the late 1960s more than a few critics of American culture groused about the condition of television programming and, in particular, the quality and content of television shows for children. In the eyes of the reform-minded, commercial television crassly exploited young viewers; its violence and tastelessness served no higher purpose than the bottom line.＜br /＞ The Children's Television Workshop (CTW)ーand its fresh approach to writing and producing programs for kidsーemerged from this growing concern. ＜em＞Sesame Street＜/em＞ーCTW's flagship hour-long showーaimed to demonstrate how television could help all preschoolers, including low-income urban children, prepare for first grade.

 The Art of Professing in Bourbon Mexico Crowned-Nun Portraits and Reform in the Convent【電子書籍】[ James M. C?rdova ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the eighteenth century, New Spaniards (colonial Mexicans) so lauded their nuns that they developed a local tradition of visually opulent portraits, called ＜em＞monjas coronadas＜/em＞ or “crowned nuns,” that picture their subjects in regal trappings at the moment of their religious profession and in death. This study identifies these portraits as markers of a vibrant and changing society that fused together indigenous and Euro-Christian traditions and ritual practices to construct a new and complex religious identity that was unique to New Spain.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To discover why crowned-nun portraits, and especially the profession portrait, were in such demand in New Spain, this book offers a pioneering interpretation of these works as significant visual contributions to a local counter-colonial discourse. James M. C?rdova demonstrates that the portraits were a response to the Spanish crown’s project to modify and modernize colonial societyーa series of reforms instituted by the Bourbon monarchs that threatened many nuns’ religious identities in New Spain. His analysis of the portraits’ rhetorical devices, which visually combined Euro-Christian and Mesoamerican notions of the sacred, shows how they promoted local religious and cultural values as well as client-patron relations, all of which were under scrutiny by the colonial Church. Combining visual evidence from images of the “crowned nun” with a discussion of the nuns’ actual roles in society, C?rdova reveals that nuns found their greatest agency as Christ’s brides, a title through which they could, and did, challenge the Church’s authority when they found it intolerable.＜/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。 | 9,150円 |
 Christ’s Idea of Authority in the Church Reflections on Reform【電子書籍】[ John Wijngaards ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Catholic Church--like other churches--has created institutions to support its spiritual mission. The exercise of authority plays a central role in how they function. The truth is that ugly accretions have attached themselves to that "authority" in the course of the centuries. Like weeds, scallops, and rubbish clinging to the bottom of a ship. Think of unchristian cultural views, customs, and practices from the Roman Empire, the barbarian tribes in Europe and the feudalistic Middle Ages that nailed themselves to the ministries.

 Transforming Tradition The Reform of Chinese Theater in the 1950s and Early 1960s【電子書籍】[ Siyuan Liu ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Shortly after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the PRC launched a reform campaign that targeted traditional song and dance theater encompassing more than a hundred genres, collectively known as ＜em＞xiqu＜/em＞. Reformers censored or revised ＜em＞xiqu＜/em＞ plays and techniques; reorganized star-based private troupes; reassigned the power to create plays from star actors to the newly created functions of playwright, director, and composer; and eliminated market-oriented functionaries such as agents. While the repertoire censorship ended in the 1980s, major reform elements have remained: many traditional scripts (or parts of them) are no longer in performance; actors whose physical memory of repertoire and acting techniques had been the center of play creation, have been superseded by directors, playwrights, and composers. The net result is significantly diminished repertoires and performance techniques, and the absence of star actors capable of creating their own performance styles through new signature plays that had traditionally been one of the hallmarks of a performance school. ＜em＞Transforming Tradition＜/em＞ offers a systematic study of the effects of the comprehensive reform of traditional theater conducted in the 1950s and ’60s, and is based on a decade’s worth of exhaustive research of official archival documents, wide-ranging interviews, and contemporaneous publications, most of which have never previously been referenced in scholarly research.＜/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。 | 9,280円 |
 The Arts and Crafts Movement Craftsmanship, Design Reform, and Victorian Era Textile Artistry【電子書籍】[ T. J. Cobden-Sanderson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Arts and Crafts Movement," T. J. Cobden-Sanderson presents a comprehensive examination of the aesthetic, cultural, and social ideals underpinning one of the most significant artistic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Cobden-Sanderson deftly intertwines rich historical context with a passionate advocacy for the return to handcraftsmanship in a rapidly industrializing world. The book's literary style is marked by eloquence and a deep reverence for the craft, reflecting the movement'??s emphasis on beauty, functionality, and the ethical dimensions of art. Through a series of essays and critical analyses, the text explores key figures and their contributions, while also situating the movement within the broader tapestry of contemporary art and architecture.

Cobden-Sanderson's insights stem from his personal experiences, advocating for a synthesis of art and craftsmanship as a response to the alienation of industrial society. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in art history, design philosophy, or the interplay between society and aesthetics. Cobden-Sanderson'??s articulate advocacy for craftsmanship serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of beauty and integrity in every artistic endeavor. Readers will find inspiration in his vision of art as a means to cultivate a more meaningful and connected existence.＜/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。 | 310円 |
 Resisting Spirits Drama Reform and Cultural Transformation in the People's Republic of China【電子書籍】[ Maggie Greene ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞Resisting Spirits＜/em＞ is a reconsideration of the significance and periodization of literary production in the high socialist era, roughly 1953 through 1966, specifically focused on Mao-era culture workers’ experiments with ghosts and ghost plays. Maggie Greene combines rare manuscript materialsーsuch as theatre troupes’ annotated practice scriptsーwith archival documents, memoirs, newspapers, and films to track key debates over the direction of socialist aesthetics. Through arguments over the role of ghosts in literature, Greene illuminates the ways in which culture workers were able to make space for aesthetic innovation and contestation both despite and because of the constantly shifting political demands of the Mao era. Ghosts were caught up in the broader discourse of superstition, modernization, and China’s social and cultural future. Yet, as Greene demonstrates, the ramifications of those concerns as manifested in the actual craft of writing and performing plays led to further debates in the realm of literature itself: If we remove the ghost from a ghost play, does it remain a ghost play? Does it lose its artistic value, its didactic value, or both? At the heart of Greene’s intervention is “just reading”: the book regards literature first as literature, rather than searching immediately for its political subtext, and the voices of dramatists themselves finally upstage those of Mao’s inner circle. Ironically, this surface reading reveals layers of history that scholars of the Mao era have often ignored, including the ways in which social relations and artistic commitments continued to inform the world of art. ＜em＞Resisting Spirits＜/em＞ thus illuminates the origins of more famous literary inquisitions, showing how the arguments surrounding ghost plays and the fates of their authors place the origins of the Cultural Revolution several years earlier, with a radical new shift in the discourse of theatre.＜/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。 | 3,310円 |
 Liberal Lives and Activist Repertoires Political Performance and Victorian Social Reform【電子書籍】[ Tracy C. Davis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This ambitious study traces the strategies of human rights activists to show how world-changing reform movements were shaped by women and men from modest backgrounds who were deeply attuned to the power of performance. Tracy C. Davis explores nineteenth-century reform campaigns through the pioneering work of a family of activists ? prominent anti-slavery lecturer George Thompson, his daughter Amelia (the first female theatre and music critic for a British daily newspaper) and her husband, the political organizer Frederick Chesson. Engaging in some of the most important social struggles of the late Georgian and Victorian periods ? including abolition, enfranchisement, and anti-genocide - this book reveals how two generations' insights into performance consolidated into activist tactics that persist today. Characterised by a skilful deployment of performance theory alongside deep and wide-ranging historical knowledge, this ground-breaking work demonstrates what 'dramaturgy' can teach us about '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。 | 5,305円 |
