A Book of Prefaces【電子書籍】[ H. L. Mencken ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A Book of Prefaces is H. L. Mencken's criticism of American society, culture, and movements. Menken considered this book as the most important in his career, and it was pretty controversial. The publishers first doubted about printing it, as they were afraid of the negative public acclaim. The book contains four critical essays, three of which are dedicated to specific writers like Theodor Dreiser, Joseph Conrad, James Huneker. Mencken had criticized Puritanism for many years, famously characterizing it as "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy," but through World War I his criticism became increasingly outspoken, in part due to the rising tide of Prohibition.＜/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
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。	9,028円
