Media and Protest Logics in the Digital Era The Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong【電子書籍】[ Francis L.F. Lee ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Digital and social media are increasingly integrated into the dynamics of protest movements around the world. They strengthen the mobilization power of movements, extend movement networks, facilitate new modes of protest participation, and give rise to new protest formations. Meanwhile, conventional media remains an important arena where protesters and their targets contest for public support. This book examines the role of the media -- understood as an integrated system comprised of both conventional media institutions and digital media platforms -- in the formation and dynamics of the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. For 79 days in 2014, Hong Kong became the focus of international attention due to a public demonstration for genuine democracy that would become known as the Umbrella Movement. During this time, twenty percent of the local population would join the demonstration, the most large-scale and sustained act of civil disobedience in Hong Kong's history -- and the largest public protest campaign in China since the 1989 student movement in Beijing. On the surface, this movement was not unlike other large-scale protest movements that have occurred around the world in recent years. However, it was distinct in how bottom-up processes evolved into a centrally organized, programmatic movement with concrete policy demands. In this book, Francis L. F. Lee and Joseph M. Chan connect the case of the Umbrella Movement to recent theorizations of new social movement formations. Here, Lee and Chan analyze how traditional mass media institutions and digital media combined with on-the-ground networks in such a way as to propel citizen participation and the evolution of the movement as a whole. As such, they argue that the Umbrella Movement is important in the way it sheds light on the rise of digital-media-enabled social movements, the relationship between digital media platforms and legacy media institutions, the power and limitations of such occupation protests and new "action logics," and the continual significance of old protest logics of resource mobilization and collective action frames. Through a combination of protester surveys, population surveys, analyses of news contents and social media activities, this book reconstructs a rich and nuanced account of the Umbrella Movement, providing insight into numerous issues about the media-movement nexus in the digital era.＜/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。	5,355円
Working the Night Shift Women in India’s Call Center Industry【電子書籍】[ Reena Patel ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Relatively high wages and the opportunity to be part of an upscale, globalized work environment draw many in India to the call center industry. At the same time, night shift employment presents women, in particular, with new challenges alongside the opportunities. This book explores how beliefs about what constitutes "women's work" are evolving in response to globalization.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Working the Night Shift＜/em＞ is the first in-depth study of the transnational call center industry that is written from the point of view of women workers. It uncovers how call center employment affects their lives, mainly as it relates to the anxiety that Indian families and Indian society have towards women going out at night, earning a good salary, and being exposed to western culture. This timely account illustrates the ironic and, at times, unsettling experiences of women who enter the spaces and places made accessible through call center work.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Visit the author's website at ＜a href="www.working-the-nightshift.com/"＞www.working-the-nightshift.com＜/a＞ and Facebook group at ＜a href="www.facebook.com/WorkingtheNightShift"＞www.facebook.com/WorkingtheNightShift＜/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。	3,317円
Divine Powers in Late Antiquity【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Is power the essence of divinity, or are divine powers distinct from divine essence? Are they divine hypostases or are they divine attributes? Are powers such as omnipotence, omniscience, etc. modes of divine activity? How do they manifest? In which way can we apprehend them? Is there a multiplicity of gods whose powers fill the cosmos or is there only one God from whom all power(s) derive(s) and whose power(s) permeate(s) everything? These are questions that become central to philosophical and theological debates in Late Antiquity (roughly corresponding to the period 2nd to the 6th centuries). On the one hand, the Pagan Neoplatonic thinkers of this era postulate a complex hierarchy of gods, whose powers express the unlimited power of the ineffable One. On the other hand, Christians proclaim the existence of only one God, one divine power or one 'Lord of all powers'. Divided into two main sections, the first part of ＜em＞Divine Powers in Late Antiquity＜/em＞ examines aspects of the notion of divine power as developed by the four major figures of Neoplatonism: Plotinus (c. 204-270), Porphyry (c. 234-305), Iamblichus (c.245-325), and Proclus (412-485). It focuses on an aspect of the notion of divine power that has been so far relatively neglected in the literature. Part two investigates the notion of divine power in early Christian authors, from the New Testament to the Alexandrian school (Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Athanasius the Great) and, further, to the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa), as well as in some of these authors' sources (the Septuagint, Philo of Alexandria). The traditional view tends to overlook the fact that the Bible, particularly the New Testament, was at least as important as Platonic philosophical texts in the shaping of the early Christian thinking about the Church's doctrines. Whilst challenging the received interpretation by redressing the balance between the Bible and Greek philosophical texts, the essays in the second section of this book nevertheless argue for the philosophical value of early Christian reflections on the notion of divine power. The two groups of thinkers that each of the sections deal with (the Platonic-Pagan and the Christian one) share largely the same intellectual and cultural heritage; they are concerned with the same fundamental questions; and they often engage in more or less public philosophical and theological dialogue, directly influencing one another.＜/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。	15,222円
Obsession Male Same-Sex Relations in China, 1900-1950【電子書籍】[ Wenqing Kang ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	This is the most serious study to date on the topic of male same-sex relations in China during the early twentieth century, illuminating male same-sex relations in many sites: language, translated sexological writings, literary works, tabloid newspapers, and opera. Documenting how nationalism and colonial modernity reconfigured Chinese discourses on sex between men in the early twentieth century, Wenqing Kang has amassed a wealth of material previously overlooked by scholars, such as the entertainment news and opinion pieces related to same-sex relations published in the tabloid press. He sheds new light on several puzzles, such as the process whereby sex between men became increasingly stigmatized in China between the 1910s and 1940s, and shows that the rich vocabulary and concepts that existed for male-male relations in premodern China continued to be used by journalists and writers throughout the Republican era, creating the conditions for receiving Western sexology.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。	2,138円
Cyrus the Great: Conqueror, Liberator, Lawgiver Crowned in Glory: The World's Greatest Kings, #2【電子書籍】[ P. Agrawal ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Cyrus the Great: Conqueror, Liberator, Lawgiver is a clear and compelling life of the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, told in twenty flowing chapters that unite storytelling with careful history. Beginning with Cyrus's foretold birth and humble upbringing in Anshan, the book follows his rise against the Medes, his wise consolidation of Persia and Media, and the westward victories that reshaped the ancient world. Readers encounter the dramatic fall of Lydia under Croesus, the strategic and humane capture of Babylon in 539 BCE, and the policies that made Cyrus as admired for mercy as for military skill.＜/p＞ ＜p＞More than a record of campaigns, this is a study of character, principle, and statecraft. The narrative shows how Cyrus governed through fairness, light taxation, and local autonomy; how his satrapal system balanced regional custom with imperial oversight; and how speedy communications and discipline gave the empire cohesion. The book's heart lies in Cyrus's ethical visionーreligious tolerance, restoration of temples, return of displaced peoples, and the ideal of rule by justice. The chapters on the Cyrus Cylinder and law highlight his lasting contribution to human dignity and orderly government.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The middle sections bring readers into the council-tents and corridors of power: the trust he placed in capable generals like Harpagus and Gobryas, the diplomatic art that won cities with promises kept, and the family circle where he prepared his heirs while warning against rivalry. Later chapters move from battlefield to memoryーhis final northern campaign against the Massagetae, his noble death, and the quiet grandeur of his tomb at Pasargadae.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The closing chapters consider Cyrus through ancient eyesーHerodotus's history, Xenophon's ideal king, Babylonian inscriptions, and the reverence found in Hebrew scriptureーbefore turning to legacy and relevance. They trace how his methods shaped later Persian rule, influenced Greek and Roman thought, and foreshadowed modern ideas of human rights and plural governance. Written in simple, bookish language, this biography offers students, general readers, and leaders a timeless portrait of power guided by conscience. It argues that Cyrus's greatest conquest was not territory, but the durable partnership between strength and mercyーand that his standard of enlightened rule remains a living guide for an unsettled 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。	500円

Me 262 Units in Combat【電子書籍】[ Robert Forsyth ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞An illustrated account of＜/strong＞ ＜strong＞the first jet-powered combat aircraft, the Messerschmitt Me 262, and its short but action-packed career during World War 2.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Powered by the Jumo 004 jet engine, the Me 262 outclassed anything the Allies had in terms of speed and firepower, offering, as an interceptor, a formidable punch with four 30 mm MK 108 nose-mounted cannon. Such a blend of armament and speed allowed the Me 262A-1a not just to inflict carnage on the Allied heavy bomber formations, but also to evade their fighter escorts ? even the later marks of Spitfire and the formidable American P-51 Mustang.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this new study, Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth utilises first-hand accounts from Me 262 pilots to chronicle actions against Allied bombers and their escorts, as well as detailing hit-and-run bomber attacks on road junctions, Allied airfields, vehicle columns, troop assemblies and supply dumps. All of these aspects of the Me 262 are enhanced by vivid illustrations, including archival photographs and specially commissioned profile artworks.＜/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。	2,819円
The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; Studies in Pessimism Enriched edition. Essays on Suffering, Desire, and the Limits of Optimism in the Human Condition【電子書籍】[ Arthur Schopenhauer ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; Studies in Pessimism," Schopenhauer engages deeply with the human condition, exploring themes of suffering, desire, and the futility of existence. Written with his characteristic incisive clarity and philosophical rigor, this collection critiques the superficiality of contemporary optimism while employing a literary style that is both poignant and accessible. Schopenhauer's essays reveal his profound engagement with philosophy and art, positioning his thoughts within the idealist tradition, yet diverging significantly to advocate for a more somber realism in examining life's inherent struggles. Arthur Schopenhauer, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy, is often hailed as the father of pessimism. His own tumultuous life experiences, marred by personal disappointments and disillusionments, greatly informed his philosophical outlook. Influenced by the works of Kant and Eastern philosophical traditions, Schopenhauer sought to articulate human suffering's deeper truths, making a lasting impact on existentialism and psychology. I recommend "The Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer; Studies in Pessimism" to readers seeking an unflinching examination of life's darker aspects. With its profound reflections and striking insights, this work invites contemplation and challenges optimistic narratives, making it essential for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or the human psyche.

Zen in der Kunst des Bogenschie?ens【電子書籍】[ Eugen Herrigel ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Wie kaum ein anderer Europ?er ist Eugen Herrigel nicht nur intellektuell, sondern auch durch eigene Erfahrung in den Geist und die Praxis des Zen eingedrungen.

Practicing Psychotherapy in Constructed Reality Ritual, Charisma, and Enhanced Client Outcomes【電子書籍】[ Stephen Bacon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In Practicing Psychotherapy in Constructed Reality: Ritual, Charisma, and Enhanced Client Outcomes, Stephen Bacon charts a radical and provocative new direction forward for psychotherapy. Based on the research finding that techniques have no inherent power, and the insights of constructionism, Bacon explores new ways of understanding therapeutic rituals, therapist charisma, and client-centered therapy. Special emphasis is given to an analysis of the work of master therapists, and all of the concepts are illustrated with numerous clinical examples. Finally, Bacon develops a geography of constructed reality which pragmatically supports deliberate practice and therapist mindfulness.＜/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。	18,163円
Party Systems in Latin America Institutionalization, Decay, and Collapse【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Based on contributions from leading scholars, this study generates a wealth of new empirical information about Latin American party systems. It also contributes richly to major theoretical and comparative debates about the effects of party systems on democratic politics, and about why some party systems are much more stable and predictable than others. Party Systems in Latin America builds on, challenges, and updates Mainwaring and Timothy Scully's seminal Building Democratic Institutions: Party Systems in Latin America (1995), which re-oriented the study of democratic party systems in the developing world. It is essential reading for scholars and students of comparative party systems, democracy, and Latin American politics. It shows that a stable and predictable party system facilitates important democratic processes and outcomes, but that building and maintaining such a party system has been the exception rather than the norm in contemporary Latin America.＜/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。	6,633円
In Sacred Loneliness The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith【電子書籍】[ Todd Compton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Beginning in the 1830s, at least thirty-three women married Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism. These were passionate relationships which also had some longevity, except in cases such as that of two young sisters, one of whom was discovered by Joseph’s first wife, Emma, in a locked bedroom with the prophet. Emma remained a steadfast opponent of polygamy throughout her life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The majority of Smith’s wives were younger than he, and one-third were between fourteen and twenty years of age. Another third were already married, and some of the husbands served as witnesses at their own wife’s polyandrous wedding. In addition, some of the wives hinted that they bore Smith childrenーmost notably Sylvia Sessions’s daughter Josephineーalthough the children carried their stepfather’s surname.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For all of Smith’s wives, the experience of being secretly married was socially isolating, emotionally draining, and sexually frustrating. Despite the spiritual and temporal benefits, which they acknowledged, they found their faith tested to the limit of its endurance. After Smith’s death in 1844, their lives became even more “lonely and desolate.” One even joined a convent. The majority were appropriated by Smith’s successors, based on the Old Testament law of the Levirate, and had children by them, though they considered these guardianships unsatisfying. Others stayed in the Midwest and remarried, while one moved to California. But all considered their lives unhappy, except for the joy they found in their children and grandchildren.＜/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。	1,195円
True and False Reform in the Church【電子書籍】[ Yves Congar OP ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Archbishop Angelo Roncali (later Pope John XXIII) read ＜em＞True and False Reform＜/em＞ during his years as papal nuncio in France and asked, A reform of the church 'is such a thing really possible?" A decade later as pope, he opened the Second Vatican Council by describing its goals in terms that reflected Congar's description of authentic reform: reform that penetrates to the heart of doctrine as a message of salvation for the whole of humanity, that retrieves the meaning of prophecy in a living church, and that is deeply rooted in history rather than superficially related to the apostolic tradition. Pope John called the council not to reform heresy or to denounce errors but to update the church's capacity to explain itself to the world and to revitalize ecclesial life in all its unique local manifestations. Congar's masterpiece fills in the blanks of what we have been missing in our reception of the council and its call to "true reform."＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Yves Congar, OP, a French Dominican who died in 1995, was the most important ecclesiologist in modern times. His writings and his active participation in Vatican II had an immense influence upon the council documents. With a few other contemporaries, Congar pioneered a new style of theological research and writing that linked the great tradition of Scripture and the Fathers to contemporary pastoral questions with lucidity and passion. His key concerns were the unity of the church, lay apostolic life, and a revival of the church's theology of the Holy Spirit. He was named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in recognition of his profound contributions to the Second Vatican Council.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Paul Philibert, OP, has taught pastoral theology in the United States and abroad. He is a Dominican friar of the Southern Province. His translation of a collection of Congar's essays on the liturgy has recently been published by Liturgical Press under the title＜/em＞ At the Heart of Christian Worship. ＜em＞His book＜/em＞ The Priesthood of the Faithful: Key to a living Church ＜em＞(Liturgical Press, 2005) reflects the ecclesiology of Yves Congar and his Vision of the apostolic life of the faithful.＜/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。	5,040円
Covert colonialism Governance, surveillance and political culture in British Hong Kong, c. 1966-97【電子書籍】[ Florence Mok ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book fills the long-standing void in the existing scholarship by constructing an empirical study of colonial governance and political culture in Hong Kong from 1966 to 1997.Using under-exploited archival and unofficial data in London and Hong Kong, it overcomes the limitations in the existing literature which has been written mainly by political scientists and sociologists, and has been primarily theoretically driven. It addresses a highly contested and timely agenda, one in which colonial historians have made major interventions: the nature of colonial governance and autonomy of the colonial polity. This book focusing on colonialism and the Chinese society in Hong Kong in a pivotal period will generate meaningful discussions and heated debates on comparisons between ‘colonialism’ in different space and time: between Hong Kong and other former British colonies; and between colonial and post-colonial Hong Kong.＜/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。	4,902円

In a Pure Muslim Land Shi'ism between Pakistan and the Middle East【電子書籍】[ Simon Wolfgang Fuchs ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Centering Pakistan in a story of transnational Islam stretching from South Asia to the Middle East, Simon Wolfgang Fuchs offers the first in-depth ethnographic history of the intellectual production of Shi'is and their religious competitors in this “Land of the Pure.” The notion of Pakistan as the pinnacle of modern global Muslim aspiration forms a crucial component of this story. It has empowered Shi'is, who form about twenty percent of the country’s population, to advance alternative conceptions of their religious hierarchy while claiming the support of towering grand ayatollahs in Iran and Iraq.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Fuchs shows how popular Pakistani preachers and scholars have boldly tapped into the esoteric potential of Shi'ism, occupying a creative and at times disruptive role as brokers, translators, and self-confident pioneers of contemporary Islamic thought. They have indigenized the Iranian Revolution and formulated their own ideas for fulfilling the original promise of Pakistan. Challenging typical views of Pakistan as a mere Shi'i backwater, Fuchs argues that its complex religious landscape represents how a local, South Asian Islam may open up space for new intellectual contributions to global Islam. Yet religious ideology has also turned Pakistan into a deadly battlefield: sectarian groups since the 1980s have been bent on excluding Shi'is as harmful to their own vision of an exemplary Islamic state.＜/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。	3,805円
Mobilizing Poor Voters Machine Politics, Clientelism, and Social Networks in Argentina【電子書籍】[ Mariela Szwarcberg ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Democracy has provided opportunities for political representation and accountability, but it has also created incentives for creating and maintaining clientelistic networks. Why has clientelism consolidated with the introduction of democracy? Drawing on network analysis, Mobilizing Poor Voters answers this question by describing and explaining the emergence, maintenance, and disappearance of political, partisan, and social networks in Argentina. Combining qualitative and quantitative data gathered during twenty-four months of field research in eight municipalities in Argentina, Mobilizing Poor Voters shows that when party leaders distribute political promotions to party candidates based only on the number of voters they mobilize, party leaders incentivize the use of clientelistic strategies among candidates competing to mobilize voters in poor neighborhoods. The logic of perverse incentives examined in this book explains why candidates who use clientelism succeed in getting elected and re-elected over time, contributing to the consolidation of political machines at the local level.＜/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。	4,112円
Hamas and Civil Society in Gaza Engaging the Islamist Social Sector【電子書籍】[ Sara Roy ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞A revealing look at Islamic social institutions in Gaza and the West Bank＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Many in the United States and Israel believe that Hamas is nothing but a terrorist organization, and that its social sector serves merely to recruit new supporters for its violent agenda. Based on Sara Roy's extensive fieldwork in the Gaza Strip and West Bank during the critical period of the Oslo peace process, ＜em＞Hamas and Civil Society in Gaza＜/em＞ shows how the social service activities sponsored by the Islamist group emphasized not political violence but rather community development and civic restoration.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Roy demonstrates how Islamic social institutions in Gaza and the West Bank advocated a moderate approach to change that valued order and stability, not disorder and instability; were less dogmatically Islamic than is often assumed; and served people who had a range of political outlooks and no history of acting collectively in support of radical Islam. These institutions attempted to create civic communities, not religious congregations. They reflected a deep commitment to stimulate a social, cultural, and moral renewal of the Muslim community, one couched not onlyーor even primarilyーin religious terms.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Vividly illustrating Hamas's unrecognized potential for moderation, accommodation, and change, ＜em＞Hamas and Civil Society in Gaza＜/em＞ also traces critical developments in Hamas's social and political sectors through the Second Intifada to today, and offers an assessment of the current, more adverse situation in the occupied territories. The Oslo period held great promise that has since been squandered. This book argues for more enlightened policies by the United States and Israel, ones that reflect Hamas's proven record of nonviolent community building.＜/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。	4,511円
Party Transformations in European Democracies【電子書籍】[ Andr? Krouwel ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞Examines existing models of political party transformation and tests them using data from fifteen European countries.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Political parties regularly change and adapt in response to ever-changing circumstances. Until now these changes have frequently prompted both scholars and the media to suggest a whole new type of political party, and over time the number of models and types has proliferated to the point of confusion, contradiction, and a loss of explanatory power. In this sophisticated yet accessible study, Andr? Krouwel rejects this m?lange of models as inadequate. He utilizes a wide range of data sources to analyze the ideological, organizational, and electoral change undergone by more than one hundred European parties in fifteen different countries, from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, between 1945 and 2010. The result is one of the most comprehensive empirically grounded studies to date of the genesis, development, and transformation of political parties in advanced democratic states.＜/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。	5,349円
Ritual, Performance, and Politics in the Ancient Near East【電子書籍】[ Lauren Ristvet ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In this book, Lauren Ristvet rethinks the narratives of state formation by investigating the interconnections between ritual, performance, and politics in the ancient Near East. She draws on a wide range of archaeological, iconographic, and cuneiform sources to show how ritual performance was not set apart from the real practice of politics; it was politics. Rituals provided an opportunity for elites and ordinary people to negotiate political authority. Descriptions of rituals from three periods explore the networks of signification that informed different societies. From circa 2600 to 2200 BC, pilgrimage made kingdoms out of previously isolated villages. Similarly, from circa 1900 to 1700 BC, commemorative ceremonies legitimated new political dynasties by connecting them to a shared past. Finally, in the Hellenistic period, the traditional Babylonian Akitu festival was an occasion for Greek-speaking kings to show that they were Babylonian and for Babylonian priests to gain significant power.＜/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
In the Beginning Was the Deed Realism and Moralism in Political Argument【電子書籍】[ Bernard Williams ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Bernard Williams is remembered as one of the most brilliant and original philosophers of the past fifty years. Widely respected as a moral philosopher, Williams began to write about politics in a sustained way in the early 1980s. There followed a stream of articles, lectures, and other major contributions to issues of public concern--all complemented by his many works on ethics, which have important implications for political theory.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This new collection of essays, most of them previously unpublished, addresses many of the core subjects of political philosophy: justice, liberty, and equality; the nature and meaning of liberalism; toleration; power and the fear of power; democracy; and the nature of political philosophy itself. A central theme throughout is that political philosophers need to engage more directly with the realities of political life, not simply with the theories of other philosophers. Williams makes this argument in part through a searching examination of where political thinking should originate, to whom it might be addressed, and what it should deliver.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Williams had intended to weave these essays into a connected narrative on political philosophy with reflections on his own experience of postwar politics. Sadly he did not live to complete it, but this book brings together many of its components. Geoffrey Hawthorn has arranged the material to resemble as closely as possible Williams's original design and vision. He has provided both an introduction to Williams's political philosophy and a bibliography of his formal and informal writings on politics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Those who know the work of Bernard Williams will find here the familiar hallmarks of his writing--originality, clarity, erudition, and wit. Those who are unfamiliar with, or unconvinced by, a philosophical approach to politics, will find this an engaging introduction. Both will encounter a thoroughly original voice in modern political theory and a searching approach to the shape and direction of liberal political thought in the past thirty-five years.＜/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
Paganism Surviving in Christianity【電子書籍】[ Abram Herbert Lewis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Paganism Surviving in Christianity," Abram Herbert Lewis meticulously explores the enduring influences of ancient pagan practices and beliefs within the framework of modern Christianity. Written with a keen eye for historical detail and cultural nuance, Lewis employs a blend of rigorous scholarship and accessible prose, making complex theological concepts approachable for both academic and lay audiences. Throughout the text, he deftly navigates the intersections of mythology, ritual, and doctrine, revealing how elements of pagan traditions have subtly woven themselves into Christian practices and celebrations, challenging the notion of Christianity as a wholly distinct faith. Abram Herbert Lewis, a scholar steeped in religious studies, draws upon his extensive background in theology and anthropology to illuminate these intricate connections. His prior works reflect a deep interest in the evolution of religious thought and the syncretic nature of belief systems.
