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。 9,453円

The Miles Davis Lost Quintet and Other Revolutionary Ensembles【電子書籍】[ Bob Gluck ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“Uncover[s] the inner creative method in a band that was literally reinventing their music on a gig-by-gig basis . . . a compelling narrative.” ー<em>All About Jazz</em></strong></p> <p>Miles Davis’s <em>Bitches Brew</em> is one of the most iconic albums in American music, the preeminent landmark and fertile seedbed of jazz-fusion. Fans have been fortunate in recent years to gain access to Davis’s live recordings from this time, when he was working with an ensemble that has come to be known as the Lost Quintet. In this book, jazz historian and musician Bob Gluck explores the performances of this revolutionary groupーDavis’s first electric bandーto illuminate the thinking of one of our rarest geniuses and, by extension, the extraordinary transition in American music that he and his fellow players ushered in.</p> <p>Gluck listens deeply to the uneasy tension between this group’s driving rhythmic groove and the sonic and structural openness, surprise, and experimentation they were always pushing toward. There he hearsーand outlinesーa fascinating web of musical interconnection that brings Davis’s funk-inflected sensibilities into conversation with the avant-garde worlds that players like Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane were developing. Going on to analyze the little-known experimental groups Circle and the Revolutionary Ensemble, Gluck traces deep resonances across a commercial gap between the celebrity Miles Davis and his less famous but profoundly innovative peers. The result is a deeply attuned look at a pivotal moment when once-disparate worlds of American music came together in explosively creative combinations.</p> <p>“In discussion informed by interviews with many of the principals and by his own detailed analysis of recordings, Gluck examines each group and its music in depth.” ー<em>Choice</em></p> <p>“A look at the profoundly influential but hazily remembered period in the 1970s, after Miles went electric, when pretty much everything was possible, and pretty much everything happened.” ー<em>Brooklyn Rail</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,112円

The Mad Pranks of Tom Tram, Son-in-law to Mother Winter To Which Are Added His Merry Jests, Odd Conceits, and Pleasant Tales【電子書籍】[ Humphrey active 1635-1671 Crouch ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Mad Pranks of Tom Tram, Son-in-law to Mother Winter," Humphrey Crouch presents a vibrant tapestry of 17th-century English folk humor intertwined with biting social commentary. This satirical work employs a playful narrative style rich with witticisms, puns, and lively dialogues that reflect the colorful vernacular of the era. Set against the backdrop of a society grappling with rapid changes, Crouch masterfully uses the character of Tom Tram to navigate through themes of folly, social hierarchy, and the intersection of the mundane with the magical, as he interacts with the enigmatic Mother Winter, embodying the unpredictable spirit of the English countryside. Crouch, an influential figure in the early modern English literary landscape, was deeply embedded in the cultural currents of his time, including the Restoration's theatrical fervor and the burgeoning popularity of folk tales. His experiences as a playwright and a performer likely shaped his understanding of humor and character-driven storytelling. The fusion of folk motifs and satirical commentary in his writing reflects a keen awareness of society's absurdities, suggesting a social critique underpinning his lively storytelling. For readers seeking a glimpse into the lively discourse of the 17th century, Crouch'??s "The Mad Pranks of Tom Tram" is a delightful exploration of humor that transcends its time, inviting readers to revel in the absurdity of human nature while offering insights into the cultural fabric of early modern England.

Literary Modernism and Beyond The Extended Vision and the Realms of the Text【電子書籍】[ Richard Lehan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Early modernists turned to theories of consciousness and aestheticism to combat what they saw as the hostility of naturalism and to find new ways of thinking about reality. This consciousness took various forms, including a Jamesian sense of moral ambiguity, Proustian time spots, and B ergsonian intuition, but the Nietzschean theory that reality depends on perception connected them all. This modernist movement reached a distinguished level of achievement with novelists Thomas Mann, Marcel Proust, and James Joyce, but a succession of counterinfluences transformed it after World War II, when elitism and a desire for a homogeneous culture gave way to diversity and elements of mass culture. In Literary Modernism and Beyond, Richard Lehan tracks the evolution of the movement from its emergence in the late nineteenth century to its recent incarnations.<br /> In this wide-ranging study, Lehan demonstrates how and why the "originary vision" of modernism changed radically after it gained prominence. With critical discussions on a wide variety of major modernist writers, intellectuals, and artists and their works -- including Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Andre Gide, Franz Kafka, Zora Neale Hurston, Ian Fleming, and J. K. Rowling -- Lehan examines the large-scale changes that came as critical authority moved from one generation to another. Both popular culture and literary criticism -- especially "critical theory" -- acted as key agents of change, and structuralism, poststructuralism, and concerns with gender and race also greatly influenced the movement. Along with a process of decline and a nihilism that emerged from the modernist movement, these changes created a new literary reality and with it a new textuality.<br /> Literary Modernism and Beyond treats modernism's major innovations of myth, symbol, and structure not as individual pieces but as interrelated contributions to a historical process, the product of three generations of transformations. Lehan's analysis provides a more complete understanding than ever before of the movement itself.</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。 2,863円

Henley's Formulas, Recipes and Processes Applied Chemistry: Methods and Formulas for Everyday Practical Use【電子書籍】[ Various ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"Henley's Formulas, Recipes and Processes" is a compilation of ten thousand selected household and workshop formulas, recipes, processes and money-saving methods for the practical use of manufacturers, mechanics, housekeepers and home workers. Each recipe from this book is to be regarded as a basis of experiment, to be modified to suit the particular purpose in hand, or the peculiar conditions which may affect the experimenter. Chemicals are not always of uniform relative purity and strength; heat or cold may markedly influence the result obtained, and lack of skill in the handling of utensils and instruments may sometimes cause failure. In some instances a series of formulas is given which apparently differ but slightly in their ingredients. This has been done on the principle that one or more may be chosen for the purpose in hand. Apart from the modern methods and formulas, old recipes and so-called trade secrets which have proven their value by long use are also included in this useful edition.</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。 300円
