The Blunderer A Classic Tale of Mistaken Identities and Absurd Misunderstandings in 17th Century France【電子書籍】[ Moli?re ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Moli√?re's "The Blunderer" (originally "Le Malade imaginaire") is a brilliantly crafted comedic masterpiece that delves into the realms of mistaken identities and human folly. Employing a rich intertwining of wit and satire, Moli√?re employs a distinctive blend of farcical situations and sharp dialogue, creating an engaging narrative that explores themes of obsession and the absurdity of medical practices during the 17th century. The play is both a humorous critique of contemporary society and a reflection of Moli√?re's astute observation of the human condition, making it a timeless work in the canon of French literature. Moli√?re, a celebrated playwright of the French classical era, drew upon his experiences in theater and his disillusionment with the medical establishment of his time to craft "The Blunderer." His own struggles with health issues and the prevalent pseudoscience of his era fueled his critique of quackery and the gullibility of people seeking desperate remedies. Moli√?re's mastery of character development and comedic timing reveals his deep understanding of human nature, shaped by his rich background in the performing arts and his personal insights into society's quirks. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Blunderer" to readers seeking an insightful yet entertaining exploration of folly and pretense. Moli√?re'??s sharp humor and incisive critique remain relevant today, inviting contemporary audiences to reflect on their own societal norms and the follies they perpetuate. This play is a must-read for lovers of classic literature, drama enthusiasts, and anyone eager to appreciate the brilliance of one of history's greatest playwrights.</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

Afrofuturism in Black Panther Gender, Identity, and the Re-Making of Blackness【電子書籍】[ Cynthia Baron ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Afrofuturism in Black Panther: Gender, Identity, and the Re-making of Blackness</em>, through an interdisciplinary and intersectional analysis of <em>Black Panther</em>, discusses the importance of superheroes and the ways in which they are especially important to Black fans. Aside from its global box office success, <em>Black Panther</em> paves the way for future superhero narratives due to its underlying philosophy to base the story on a narrative that is reliant on Afro-futurism. The film’s storyline, the book posits, leads viewers to think about relevant real-world social questions as it taps into the cultural zeitgeist in an indelible way. Contributors to this collection approach <em>Black Panther</em> not only as a film, but also as Afrofuturist imaginings of an African nation untouched by colonialism and antiblack racism: the film is a map to alternate states of being, an introduction to the African Diaspora, a treatise on liberation and racial justice, and an examination of identity. As they analyze each of these components, contributors pose the question: how can a film invite a reimagining of Blackness?</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。 7,744円

Shakespeare and the Just War Tradition【電子書籍】[ Paola Pugliatti ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Brought to light in this study is a connection between the treatment of war in Shakespeare's plays and the issue of the 'just war', which loomed large both in religious and in lay treatises of Shakespeare's time. The book re-reads Shakespeare's representations of war in light of both the changing historical and political contexts in which they were produced and of Shakespeare's possible connection with the culture and ideology of the European just war tradition. But to discuss Shakespeare's representations of war means, for Pugliatti, not simply to examine his work from a literary point of view or to historicize those representations in connection with the discourses (and the practice) of war which were produced in his time; it also means to consider or re-consider present-day debates for or against war and the kind of war ideology which is trying to assert itself in our time in light of the tradition which shaped those discourses and representations and which still substantiates our 'moral' view of war.</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。 9,116円

My Only Great Passion The Life and Films of Carl Th. Dreyer【電子書籍】[ Jean Drum ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In an industry that celebrates extravagance and showmanship, Danish film director Carl Th. Dreyer was a rarity, a man who guarded his privacy fiercely and believed that film provided a way to understand human nature by focusing on the individual person. Best known for his 1928 film <em>The Passion of Joan of Arc</em>, dominated by its emotionally harrowing close-ups of Joan during her trial, it was Dreyer who pioneered some of the seminal techniques of modern film, techniques that would later be made famous by better known contemporaries such as Sergei Eisenstein and D.W. Griffith.</p> <p>Now, in <em>My Only Great Passion</em>, the first full-length English language biography of Dreyer, Jean and Dale D. Drum restore his reputation to its rightful place. Based on extensive and exclusive interviews with both Dreyer and the people who worked with himーincluding personal correspondence dating back to 1952ーthis biography provides the most comprehensive critical examination to date of both Dreyer's life and his approach to filmmaking. A valuable resource for film critics and historians, those in the film industry, and university cinema departments, as well as anyone with an interest in Danish art and culture, <em>My Only Great Passion</em> provides long neglected insights into the man who first raised European film above the level of entertainment and placed it in the realm of art.</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。 14,386円

Building Colonial Hong Kong Speculative Development and Segregation in the City【電子書籍】[ Cecilia L. Chu ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the 1880s, Hong Kong was a booming colonial entrep?t, with many European, especially British, residents living in palatial mansions in the Mid-Levels and at the Peak. But it was also a ruthless migrant city where Chinese workers shared bedspaces in the crowded tenements of Taipingshan. Despite persistent inequality, Hong Kong never ceased to attract different classes of sojourners and immigrants, who strived to advance their social standing by accumulating wealth, especially through land and property speculation.</p> <p>In this engaging and extensively illustrated book, Cecilia L. Chu retells the ‘Hong Kong story’ by tracing the emergence of its ‘speculative landscape’ from the late nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century. Through a number of pivotal case studies, she highlights the contradictory logic of colonial urban development: the encouragement of native investment that supported a <em>laissez-faire</em> housing market, versus the imperative to segregate the populations in a hierarchical, colonial spatial order. Crucially, she shows that the production of Hong Kong’s urban landscapes was not a top-down process, but one that evolved through ongoing negotiations between different constituencies with vested interests in property. Further, her study reveals that the built environment was key to generating and attaining individual and collective aspirations in a racially divided, highly unequal, but nevertheless upwardly mobile, modernizing colonial city.</p> <p><strong>Awarded 2023 Best Book in Non-North American Urban History by the Urban History Association.</strong></p> <p><strong>Cecilia Chu has a second award: she received the 2024 IPHS book prize for the best book written in English and related to the planning history of the country/region where the IPHS conference is hosted. This was presented at the IPHS conference in Hong Kong in July 2024.</strong></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

Queer Chivalry Medievalism and the Myth of White Masculinity in Southern Literature【電子書籍】[ Tison Pugh ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>For the U.S. South, the myth of chivalric masculinity dominates the cultural and historical landscape. Visions of white southern men as archetypes of honor and gentility run throughout regional narratives with little regard for the actions and, at times, the atrocities committed by such men. In Queer Chivalry, Tison Pugh exposes the inherent contradictions in these depictions of cavalier manhood, investigating the foundations of southern gallantry as a reincarnated and reauthorized version of medieval masculinity. Pugh argues that the idea of masculinity -- particularly as seen in works by prominent southern authors from Mark Twain to Ellen Gilchrist -- constitutes a cultural myth that queerly demarcates accepted norms of manliness, often by displaying the impossibility of its achievement.<br /> Beginning with Twain's famous critique of "the Sir Walter disease" that pilloried the South, Pugh focuses on authors who questioned the code of chivalry by creating protagonists whose quests for personal knighthood prove quixotic. Through detailed readings of major works -- including Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Flannery O'Connor's short fiction, John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces, Robert Penn Warren's A Place to Come To, Walker Percy's novels, and Gilchrist's The Annunciation -- Pugh demonstrates that the hypermasculinity of white-knight ideals only draws attention to the ambiguous gender of the literary southern male.<br /> Employing insights from gender and psychoanalytic theory, Queer Chivalry contributes to recent critical discussions of the cloaked anxieties about gender and sexuality in southern literature. Ultimately, Pugh uncovers queer limits in the cavalier mythos, showing how facts and fictions contributed to the ideological formulation of the South.</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

World Music and the Black Atlantic Producing and Consuming African-Cuban Musics on World Music Stages【電子書籍】[ Aleysia K. Whitmore ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the mid-20th century, African musicians took up Cuban music as their own and claimed it as a marker of black Atlantic connections and of cosmopolitanism untethered from European colonial relations. Today, Cuban/African bands popular in Africa in the 1960s and '70s have moved into the world music scene in Europe and North America, and world music producers and musicians have created new West African-Latin American collaborations expressly for this market niche. <em>World Music and the Black Atlantic</em> follows two of these bands, Orchestra Baobab and AfroCubism, and the industry and audiences that surround them-from musicians' homes in West Africa, to performances in Europe and North America, to record label offices in London. <em>World Music and the Black Atlantic</em> examines the intensely transnational experiences of musicians, industry personnel, and audiences as they collaboratively produce, circulate, and consume music in a specific post-colonial era of globalization. Musicians, industry personnel, and audiences work with and push against one another as they engage in personal collaborations imbued with histories of global travel and trade. They move between and combine Cuban and Malian melodies, Norwegian and Senegalese markets, and histories of slavery and independence as they work together to create international commodities. Understanding the unstable and dynamic ways these peoples, musics, markets, and histories intersect elucidates how world music actors assert their places within, and produce knowledge about, global markets, colonial histories, and the black Atlantic. <em>World Music and the Black Atlantic</em> offers a nuanced view of a global industry that is informed and deeply marked by diverse transnational perspectives and histories of transatlantic exchange.</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。 3,557円

Sylvia Plath and the Mythology of Women Readers【電子書籍】[ Janet Badia ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Depicted in popular films, television series, novels, poems, and countless media reports, Sylvia Plath's women readers have become nearly as legendary as Plath herself, in large part because the depictions are seldom kind. If one is to believe the narrative told by literary and popular culture, Plath's primary audience is a body of young, misguided women who uncriticallyーeven pathologicallyーconsume Plath's writing with no awareness of how they harm the author's reputation in the process.</p> <p>Janet Badia investigates the evolution of this narrative, tracing its origins, exposing the gaps and elisions that have defined it, and identifying it as a bullying mythology whose roots lie in a long history of ungenerous, if not outright misogynistic, rhetoric about women readers that has gathered new energy from the backlash against contemporary feminism.</p> <p>More than just an expos? of our cultural biases against women readers, Badia's research also reveals how this mythology has shaped the production, reception, and evaluation of Plath's body of writing, affecting everything from the Hughes family's management of Plath's writings to the direction of Plath scholarship today. Badia discusses a wide range of texts and issues whose significance has gone largely unnoticed, including the many book reviews that have been written about Plath's publications; films and television shows that depict young Plath readers; editorials and fan tributes written about Plath; and Ted and (daughter) Frieda Hughes's writings about Plath's estate and audience.</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。 2,699円

Longlisted for the <em>Financial Times</em> and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award</strong></p> <p>To look south and skyward from Central Park these days is to gaze upon a physical manifestation of tens of billions of dollars in global wealth: a series of soaring spires stretching from Park Avenue to Broadway. Known as Billionaires’ Row, this set of slender high-rise residences has transformed the skyline of New York City, thanks to developer-friendly policies and a seemingly endless gush of cash from tech, finance, and foreign oligarchs. And chances are most of us will never be invited to step inside.</p> <p>In <em>Billionaires’ Row,</em> Katherine Clarke reveals the captivating story of how, in just a few years, the ruthless real-estate impresarios behind these “supertalls” lining 57th Street turned what was once a run-down strip of Midtown into the most exclusive street on Earth, as legendary Trump-era veterans went toe-to-toe with hungry upstart developers in an ego-fueled “race to the sky.” Based on far-reaching access to real estate’s power players, Clarke’s account brings readers inside one of the world’s most cutthroat industries, showing how a combination of ferocious ambition and relentless salesmanship has created a new market of $100 million apartments for the world’s one-percentersーunits to live in or, sometimes, just places to stash their cash.</p> <p>Filled with eye-popping stories that bring the new era of extreme wealth inequality into vivid relief, <em>Billionaires’ Row</em> is a juicy, gimlet-eyed account of the genius, greed, and financial one-upmanship behind the most expensive real estate in the worldーa stranger-than-fiction saga of broken partnerships, broken marriages, lawsuits, and, for a few, fleeting triumph.</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。 945円

The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Complete Edition) Children's Classic - A Retold Fairy Tale by one of the most important Victorian poets and playwrights, known for Porphyria's Lover, The Book and the Ring, My Last Duchess【電子書籍】[ Robert Browning ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Complete Edition)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is the subject of a legend concerning the disappearance or death of a great number of kids from the town of Hamelin (Hameln), Lower Saxony, Germany, in the Middle Ages. The earliest references describe a piper, dressed in multicolored ("pied") clothing, leading the kids away from the town never to return. In the 16th century the story was expanded into a full narrative, in which the piper is a rat-catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic pipe. When the citizens refuse to pay for this service, he retaliates by turning his power that he put in his instrument on their children, leading them away as he had the rats. This version of the story spread as folklore and has also appeared in the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Brothers Grimm and Robert Browning, among others. Using the Verstegan/Wanley version of the tale and adopting the 1376 date, Browning's verse retelling is notable for its humor, wordplay, and jingling rhymes. Robert Browning (1812?1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, and in particular the dramatic monologue, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humor, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. The speakers in his poems are often musicians or painters whose work functions as a metaphor for poetry.

Lady Gaga and the Remaking of Celebrity Culture【電子書籍】[ Amber L. Davisson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Lady Gaga represents both the height of celebrity and a disruption of the norms surrounding the social position. This book charts the way the pop star manages the celebrity persona in her relationships with her fans, the development of her gender identity, her parodying of other celebrities, and her navigation of the legal and economic system that make up the music industry. Much of Gaga's ability to maintain ownership of her identity comes from her early decisions to characterize herself as a performance artist.</p> <p>For Gaga, this means living the persona 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Gaga mimicks celebrity life in a self-conscious way that makes the mimicry apparent. Her performance of celebrity is an on-going project--despite what she may claim, she was not born this way. The excess of her celebrity is magnified by her title: Mother Monster. Historically, media narratives of celebrities, monsters, and mothers have centered on uncontrolled excesses that must be contained. Gaga adopts these personas, but refuses to submit to the containment that comes with each.</p> <p>Instructors considering this book for use in a course may <a href="www.mcfarlandbooks.com/customers/students-instructors/"> request an examination copy here</a>.</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。 2,699円

The House of Atreus; Being the Agamemnon, the Libation bearers, and the Furies Exploring Fate, Vengeance, and Family in Ancient Tragedy【電子書籍】[ Aeschylus ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The House of Atreus compiles three of Aeschylus's most profound tragedies: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Furies, exploring the themes of fate, justice, and the cyclical nature of violence within the prestigious House of Atreus. Aeschylus employs a rich, poetic style filled with ominous imagery and dramatic irony, establishing a lyrical yet foreboding atmosphere that immerses the audience in the moral quandaries faced by its characters. Set against the backdrop of post-Trojan War Greece, these plays investigate the repercussions of past sins and the inexorable pull of destiny within the framework of divine justice and retribution. Aeschylus, often referred to as the father of tragedy, penned these works in the 5th century BCE, during a time when theatrical performances were evolving as a means of public address and reflection on societal norms. His personal experiences, including participation in the Persian Wars and exposure to the conflict of human passions and fatalistic fate, deeply influenced his writing. The complex interplay of familial loyalty, divine command, and moral ambiguity present in The House of Atreus offers a lens through which we can understand the human condition. This collection serves as an essential introduction to Greek tragedy and is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of myth, morality, and history. Aeschylus'??s poetic mastery and profound insights into human nature encourage modern audiences to contemplate the timeless dilemmas of justice and vengeance, making this work a crucial addition to any 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
