Voices Carry Behind Bars and Backstage during China's Revolution and Reform【電子書籍】[ Ying Ruocheng ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Voices Carry is the moving autobiography of the late Ying Ruocheng, beloved Chinese stage and screen actor, theatre director, translator, and high-ranking politician as vice minister of culture from 1986?1990. One of twentieth-century China's most prominent citizens, Ying was imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution and devised unique strategies for survival, including playing pranks on guards and keeping a clandestine notebook. Ying's memoir opens with his prison years, and then flashes back to his boyhood growing up in a prince's palace as a member of a progressive Manchu Catholic intellectual family. He also details his experiences as a university student during the heady days when the People's Republic was being founded, followed by his subsequent experiences on stage, in film, and in politics.</p> <p>A founding member of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, Ying Ruocheng helped open its doors to Sino-American exchange when he brought Arthur Miller to China to stage Death of a Salesman in 1983, playing the role of Willy Loman in his own translation of the play. Simultaneously a "spy" for his own government and a cultural ambassador for countless foreigners and fellow countrymen, Ying lived out his life as a bridge between China and the West, gaining a singular perspective on matters related to culture and politics.</p> <p>While suffering from cirrhosis of the liver during the final decade of his life, Ying Ruocheng reflected on his experiences, collaborating with coauthor Claire Conceison to tell his story. Together, they take the reader on an exhilarating journey from Manchu wrestling matches to missionary schools, from behind prison bars to behind the scenes at ground-breaking stage performances, and from public moments of international recognition to private moments of intimacy and despair.</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。 6,380円

Maximilian II. - Der r?tselhafte Kaiser Die Biografie: Habsburgermonarchie zwischen Reformationszeit, Religions- und Reichspolitik【電子書籍】[ Viktor Bibl ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Das biografische Werk "Maximilian II. ? Der r?tselhafte Kaiser" von Viktor Bibl bietet eine tiefgr?ndige und differenzierte Darstellung des r?misch-deutschen Kaisers Maximilian II. (1527?1576), der als einer der interessantesten, zugleich aber auch widerspr?chlichsten Herrscher der Habsburgerdynastie gilt. Maximilian, Sohn Ferdinands I. und Enkel Kaiser Maximilians I., ?bernahm in einer Zeit des religi?sen und politischen Umbruchs die Regierung ? gepr?gt von der Reformation, der Gegenreformation und den Machtk?mpfen innerhalb Europas. Das Werk zeichnet ein eindrucksvolles Bild eines Herrschers, der als einer der kl?gsten, zugleich aber auch geheimnisvollsten Kaiser des Heiligen R?mischen Reiches gilt. Bibl beschreibt Maximilian als einen tiefgr?ndigen und nachdenklichen Monarchen, der sich der Idee des Humanismus und der religi?sen Toleranz verpflichtet f?hlte. Im Gegensatz zu vielen seiner Zeitgenossen versuchte er, den Glaubensstreit zwischen Katholiken und Protestanten mit Vernunft und Verst?ndnis zu l?sen, anstatt mit Gewalt. Obwohl er selbst katholisch blieb, zeigte er gro?es Interesse f?r die Lehren der Reformatoren und lie? an seinem Hof protestantische Gelehrte zu. Diese Haltung machte ihn zu einem Symbol der M??igung und des Fortschritts im Zeitalter konfessioneller Spaltungen. Am Wiener Hof f?rderte Maximilian Wissenschaft, Kunst und Philosophie. Er sammelte B?cher, sch?tzte Forscher und schuf eine Atmosph?re geistiger Offenheit, die Wien zu einem Zentrum des europ?ischen Humanismus machte. Sein h?fisches Leben war weniger durch Prunk als durch Bildung und Nachdenklichkeit gepr?gt ? ein Ausdruck seiner pers?nlichen Bescheidenheit und seiner geistigen Neigung. Politisch gelang es Maximilian, das Reich in einer schwierigen Phase zu stabilisieren. Er f?hrte eine gem??igte Au?enpolitik, wahrte den Frieden mit den Osmanen und setzte auf diplomatische L?sungen statt auf milit?rische Abenteuer. Sein Verm?chtnis liegt in der F?rderung religi?ser Toleranz, wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis und kultureller Bl?te. Als "r?tselhafter Kaiser" bleibt er eine faszinierende Gestalt, die Vernunft ?ber Dogma und Menschlichkeit ?ber Macht stellte. Das Werk fasziniert durch die psychologische Tiefe, mit der Bibl den Charakter des Kaisers analysiert: einen humanistischen Denker auf dem Kaiserthron, zerrissen zwischen Macht und Moral. So wird "Maximilian II. ? Der r?tselhafte Kaiser" nicht nur zur Biografie eines Herrschers, sondern zum Spiegel einer ganzen Epoche des Umbruchs und der geistigen Erneuerung Europas.</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

Victorian Reformations Historical Fiction and Religious Controversy, 1820-1904【電子書籍】[ Miriam Elizabeth Burstein ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In <em>Victorian Reformations: Historical Fiction and Religious Controversy, 1820-1900</em>, Miriam Elizabeth Burstein analyzes the ways in which Christian novelists across the denominational spectrum laid claim to popular genresーmost importantly, the religious historical novelーto narrate the aftershocks of 1829, the year of Catholic Emancipation. Both Protestant and Catholic popular novelists fought over the ramifications of nineteenth-century Catholic toleration for the legacy of the Reformation. But despite the vast textual range of this genre, it remains virtually unknown in literary studies. <em>Victorian Reformations</em> is the first book to analyze how “high” theological and historical debates over the Reformation’s significance were popularized through the increasingly profitable venue of Victorian religious fiction. By putting religious apologists and controversialists at center stage, Burstein insists that such fictionーfrequently dismissed as overly simplistic or didacticーis essential for our understanding of Victorian popular theology, history, and historical novels. Burstein reads “lost” but once exceptionally popular religious novelsーfor example, by Elizabeth Rundle Charles, Lady Georgiana Fullerton, and Emily Sarah Holtーagainst the works of such now-canonical figures as Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot, while also drawing on material from contemporary sermons, histories, and periodicals. Burstein demonstrates how these novels, which popularized Christian visions of change for a mass readership, call into question our assumptions about the nineteenth-century historical novel. In addition, her research and her conceptual frameworks have the potential to influence broader paradigms in Victorian studies and novel criticism.</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。 5,073円

The Life of Florence Nightingale (Vol. 1&2) Biography of a Famous Social Reformer and the Founder of Modern Nursing【電子書籍】[ Edward Tyas Cook ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Life of Florence Nightingale is a two volumes biography of a famous founder of modern nursing, written by English man of letters Sir Edward Tyas Cook. Florence Nightingale was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organized care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople. She gave nursing a favorable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture, especially in the persona of "The Lady with the Lamp" making rounds of wounded soldiers at night. The quality of Cook's biography is that it draws extensively from Miss Nightingale's own correspondence and presents as closely as it can a person she was. First volume covers the period from 1820 to 1861, and second volume continues to follow events in her life from 1862 to 1910.</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

Hamka and Islam Cosmopolitan Reform in the Malay World【電子書籍】[ Khairudin Aljunied ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Since the early twentieth century, Muslim reformers have been campaigning for a total transformation of the ways in which Islam is imagined in the Malay world.</strong> One of the most influential is the author Haji Abdul Malik bin Abdul Karim Amrullah, commonly known as Hamka.</p> <p>In <em>Hamka and Islam</em>, Khairudin Aljunied employs the term "cosmopolitan reform" to describe Hamka's attempt to harmonize the many streams of Islamic and Western thought while posing solutions to the various challenges facing Muslims. Among the major themes Aljunied explores are reason and revelation, moderation and extremism, social justice, the state of women in society, and Sufism in the modern age, as well as the importance of history in reforming the minds of modern Muslims.Aljunied argues that Hamka demonstrated intellectual openness and inclusiveness toward a whole range of thoughts and philosophies to develop his own vocabulary of reform, attesting to Hamka's unique ability to function as a conduit for competing Islamic and secular groups.</p> <p><em>Hamka and Islam</em> pushes the boundaries of the expanding literature on Muslim reformism and reformist thinkers by grounding its analysis within the Malay experience and by using the concept of cosmopolitan reform in a new context.</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。 3,522円

Sex, Gender and Disability in Nepal Marginalized Narratives and Policy Reform【電子書籍】[ Tulasi Acharya ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book explores the sex lives of women with disabilities in Nepal, showing that many women suffer more than men despite prevailing disability policies that emphasize nondiscrimination against people with disabilities. It also argues that far from general perceptions of women as asexual, women with disabilities are capable of leading highly creative and fulfilling sexual lives.</p> <p>Using critical sexual theory and postcolonial studies as critical frameworks, the book investigates the narratives of authors with disabilities, exploring policy gaps and the need for supportive gender and sexual policies through the words of those affected. In particular, the book analyzes five female Nepali authors with disabilities: Radhika Dahal, Jhamak Ghimire, Sabitri Karki, Parijaat, and Mira Sahi, demonstrating the need for supportive gender policies to address the emotional and psychological needs of women with disabilities. Overall, the book argues that disciplinary discourses in practice often consider sex or sexuality as taboo, barely recognizing women in the context of marriage and family, and therefore creating gaps between policies and marginalized narratives.</p> <p>This book provides important insights into sex and disability within the context of the Global South, and as such will be of interest not only to researchers working on Nepal but also to scholars across gender studies, disability studies, international development, and postcolonialism.</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

Liberalism and the Culture of Security The Nineteenth-Century Rhetoric of Reform【電子書籍】[ Katherine Henry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Normal0falsefalsefalseMicrosoftInternetExplorer4</p> <p>Figures of protection and security are everywhere in American public discourse, from the protection of privacy or civil liberties to the protection of marriage or the unborn, and from social security to homeland security. <em>Liberalism and the Culture of Security</em> traces a crucial paradox in historical and contemporary notions of citizenship: in a liberal democratic culture that imagines its citizens as self-reliant, autonomous, and inviolable, the truth is that claims for citizenshipーparticularly for marginalized groups such as women and slavesーhave just as often been made in the name of vulnerability and helplessness.</p> <p>Katherine Henry traces this turn back to the eighteenth-century opposition of liberty and tyranny, which imagined our liberties as being in danger of violation by the forces of tyranny and thus in need of protection. She examines four particular instances of this rhetorical pattern. The first chapters show how women’s rights and antislavery activists in the antebellum era exploited the contradictions that arose from the liberal promise of a protected citizenry: first by focusing primarily on arguments over slavery in the 1850s that invoke the Declaration of Independence, including Harriet Beecher Stowe’s fiction and Frederick Douglass’s “Fourth of July” speech; and next by examining Angelina Grimk?’s brief but intense antislavery speaking career in the 1830s.</p> <p>New conditions after the Civil War and Emancipation changed the way arguments about civic inclusion and exclusion could be advanced. Henry considers the issue of African American citizenship in the 1880s and 1890s, focusing on the mainstream white Southern debate over segregation and the specter of a tyrannical federal government, and then turning to Frances E. W. Harper’s fictional account of African American citizenship in Iola Leroy. Finally, Henry examines Henry James’s 1886 novel <em>The Bostonians</em>, in which arguments over the appropriate role of women and the proper place of the South in post?Civil War America are played out as a contest between Olive Chancellor and Basil ransom for control over the voice of the eloquent girl Verena Tarrant.</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。 5,060円

Der 13. Dalai Lama: Ein F?hrer zwischen Spiritualit?t und Reform Thubten Gyatshos Visionen f?r ein selbstst?ndiges Tibet in turbulenten Zeiten【電子書籍】[ Jamyang Drolma ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Thubten Gyatsho, der 13. Dalai Lama, lebte in einer ?ra des Wandels, in der Tibet sich zwischen Tradition und den Herausforderungen einer sich rasant modernisierenden Welt behaupten musste. Als spirituelles Oberhaupt und politischer F?hrer verk?rperte er die Verbindung von buddhistischer Weisheit und vision?rer Reformbereitschaft. Dieses Buch zeichnet ein lebendiges Bild seines Lebens und Wirkens: Von seiner Kindheit in den abgelegenen Bergen Amdo bis hin zu seinen Bem?hungen, Tibets Unabh?ngigkeit inmitten der geopolitischen Rivalit?ten des "Great Game" zu sichern. Der Leser begleitet Thubten Gyatsho auf seinem mutigen Weg, das tibetische Volk durch Reformen in Bildung, Verwaltung und Milit?r zu st?rken, ohne dabei die spirituelle Essenz seiner Heimat zu opfern. Jamyang Drolma entf?hrt uns mit einer fesselnden Erz?hlweise in die Tiefen der tibetischen Geschichte und Kultur. Sie zeigt, wie Thubten Gyatsho es verstand, die Werte des tibetischen Buddhismus mit den Anforderungen der Moderne zu vereinen, und ergr?ndet die Frage, was seine Visionen f?r Tibet und die Welt heute bedeuten. Eine inspirierende Geschichte ?ber F?hrung, Widerstandskraft und die Suche nach einem Gleichgewicht zwischen Tradition und Wandel ? ein Muss f?r alle, die die Geschichte Tibets und die au?ergew?hnliche Lebensleistung des 13. Dalai Lama verstehen wollen.</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 impact of the bureaucracy, labor management agreements, and certification programs on school leadership and classroom teaching is illuminated by analysis, argument, and practical experience.
