Creative Crisis in Democracy and Economy /

Abstract: Developments across the millennia suggest that, even though democracies and free market economies are continuously challenged by crises and disturbances, such as natural disasters, wars, or technological revolutions, in the countries where they take roots civil liberties deepen and per capita prosperity increases. To substantiate this claim analytically, the authors emphasize the principles that make free markets a sine qua non condition for democracy and study the nature of the relationship between free market institutions and economic growth. By examining the operating principles, outcomes and challenges experienced by contemporary democracies, many lessons are drawn with regard to how governments should act in order to avoid the pitfalls inherently associated with representative democracy. To illustrate the dangers of deviating from these principles, the authors apply their findings to the Greek democracy and economy since the Second World War.

Humanities in the twenty-first century :

Belfiore, Eleonora,
Upchurch, Anna,

Abstract: What is the value of the arts and humanities today? This question points to a long and extensively discussed dilemma. Eleonora Belfiore and Anna Upchurch have compiled a collection of original essays that offer a novel approach to tackling this difficult question. These contributions offer examples that show that, rather than relying on the narrowly utilitarian notion of 'research impact' that has developed within current educational policies and debates, it may be more appropriate to look at the ways in which arts and humanities research is already engaged in collaborative endeavours, both within academia and beyond, in order to address the big ethical, political, technological and environmental challenges of contemporary life. The contributors are scholars from diverse backgrounds, cultural and business professionals as well as policy makers from both the UK and the US. The wealth and diversity of perspectives and experiences they bring to the consideration of the place and role of the arts and humanities in contemporary society allows for a refreshed debate that does not rely on simplistic and questionable notions of socio-economic impact as a proxy for value.

A letter concerning toleration /

Abstract: Locke argued that religious belief ought to be compatible with reason, that no king, prince or magistrate rules legitimately without the consent of the people, and that government has no right to impose religious beliefs or styles of worship on the public. Locke's defense of religious tolerance and freedom of thought was revolutionary in its time. Even today, his letter poses a challenge to religious intolerance, whether state-sponsored or originating from religious dogmatists. Based on both Locke's original Latin and the seventeenth-century English translation of William Popple, this edition offers a reader-friendly version that remains loyal to the original text. In addition to a forty-page introduction that situates the Letter in its historical and philosophical contexts, this edition includes excerpts from writings on religious toleration by William Penn, Baruch Spinoza, Pierre Bayle, and Samuel von Pufendorf, as well as generous selections from the famous Locke-Proast debates on religious toleration. -- Publisher website.

Abstract: "The draft proposal for the reform of the German law of intellectual property, a project which was fostered by the German Foundation on the Protection of Intellectual Property (GRUR), focuses on modernising the regulatory technique by furnishing general rules on both substantive and procedural issues. Together with the rules on the specific IP rights they are merged into a comprehensive code of intellectual property. At the same time severe gaps of curren law--such as the law on licence contracts--can be bridged"--Provided by publisher.

Statesmanship and progressive reform :

Abstract: "Statesmanship and Progressive Reform" provides a critical assessment of Herbert Croly's influential account of Abraham Lincoln in his book, "The Promise of American Life" (1909). As founder and editor "of The New Republic", Croly was one of the premier intellectual architects of the American Progressive movement. A defining element of Croly's book was his claim that Progressivism was a continuation of the spirit of Lincoln's political thought. This identification of Progressive politics with the Lincoln legacy became a major component of Progressive and modern liberal political rhetoric, especially among presidents like Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Lyndon Johnson, and most recently, Barack Obama. Croly's account of Lincoln is crucial to his ideology of reform, yet Jividen and Alvis provide a brand-new argument that this praise and analysis of Lincoln is highly problematic. "Statesmanship and Progressive Reform" shows how Croly's depiction of Lincoln looks almost exclusively at his character or "spirit," rather than his speeches, writings, or deeds -- all of which would not have aligned so easily to the principals of Progressivism. Despite his adulation of Lincoln, Croly rejects the first principles of American democracy as Lincoln understood them and arrives at a notion of American statesmanship that sharply departs from that of his seemingly ideal statesman.

Punk Style /

Abstract: Punk Style examines the dress of this incredibly diverse, long-lasting and hugely influential subculture and its impact on mainstream fashion. Taking a comprehensive approach, the book includes a historical overview, a discussion of motivations behind dress practices, and a review of fashion cycles and merchandising methods. Punk is frequently positioned as a forerunner of trends that later become commonplace, as demonstrated in the proliferation and acceptance of body modification, the repeated use of deconstruction as a design aesthetic, and the recent boom in fashion that reflects DIY style.

The politics of everyday life in Gĩkũyũ popular music of Kenya (1990-2000) /

Abstract: While probing the politics of everyday in Gikuyu popular music, the main thrust of this book is to unpack the representation of daily struggles through music. Depending mainly on the lyrics of the songs, the study also combines both the textual and the contextual analysis of the music. Music here is studied both as a text, and as an aspect of popular culture. The decade 1990-2000 in Kenya provides two contrasting political developments, which directly impacted on the ordinary Kenyan; firstly, the extremes of the country's one-party rule were at the peak until when multi-party democracy was re-introduced. This ushered in a new era, but with antecedents in one-party rule, where service delivery was below par and economic mismanagement, corruption, assassinations and detentions continued unabated. It is in this contrasting environment that popular arts proliferated as a way of countering the repressed freedom of expression. This book, therefore, looks at how the Gikuyu musicians reacted and responded to these social and political realities in their songs. Music is discussed as an essential site for creation, re-creation and negotiation of the various forms of identities.

Theodahad :

Abstract: "Educated in Platonic philosophy rather than the military arts, the Ostrogothic king Theodahad was never meant to rule. His unexpected nomination as co-regent by his cousin Queen Amalasuintha plunged him into the intrigues of the Gothic court, and Theodahad soon conspired to assassinate the queen. But, once alone on the throne, his lack of political experience and military skill made him ineffective at best and dangerously incompetent at worst.

The house with the parapet wall /

Abstract: "Grieving the diminishment and death of his elderly mother, John Terpstra finds solace in a seemingly unusual place: the stories (both historical and fanciful) of the nineteenth-century houses in his Hamilton neighbourhood and of the families which have inhabited them. With a well-honed knack for the circuitous route, Terpstra tackles weighty questions like 'Why must we die?' by following his imaginative curiosity into the bricks-and-mortar matters of our daily lives, understanding that the dwellings we construct do more than just shed the weather, but are also physical manifestations of our notions of 'family' and 'home'"--Publisher.

The creative citizen unbound :

xv, 336 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm.

Abstract: The creative citizen unbound introduces the concept of 'creative citizenship' to explore the potential of civic-minded creative individuals in the era of social media and in the context of an expanding creative economy. Drawing on the findings of a 30-month study of communities supported by the UK research funding councils, multidisciplinary contributors examine the value and nature of creative citizenship, not only in terms of its contribution to civic life and social capital but also to more contested notions of value, both economic and cultural. This original book will he beneficial to researchers and students across a range of disciplines including media and communication, political science, economics, planning and economic geography, and the creative and performing arts.

The ethics of discernment :

Abstract: "In The Ethics of Discernment, Patrick H. Byrne presents an approach to ethics that builds upon the cognitional theory and the philosophical method of self-appropriation that Bernard Lonergan introduced in his book Insight, as well as upon Lonergan's later writing on ethics and values. Extending Lonergan's method into the realm of ethics, Byrne argues that we can use self-appropriation to come to objective judgements of value. The Ethics of Discernment is an introspective analysis of that process, in which sustained ethical inquiry and attentiveness to feelings as "intentions of value" leads to a rich conception of the good. Written both for those with an interest in Lonergan's philosophy and for those interested in theories of ethics who have only a limited knowledge of Lonergan's work, Byrne's book is the first detailed exposition of an ethical theory based on Lonergan's philosophical method."--

Photography and Tibet /

173 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 23 cm.

Abstract: Magnificent and mysterious, Tibet has been a source of fascination for outsiders for centuries, and its grand landscapes and vibrant culture have especially captivated photographers. But the country is both geographically and politically challenging, and access from the outside has never been easy. With this book, Clare Harris offers the first historical survey of photography in Tibet and the Himalayas, telling the intriguing stories of both Tibetans and foreigners who have attempted to document the region s wonders on film. Harris combines extensive research in museums and archives with her own fieldwork in Tibetan communities to present materials that have never been examined before including the earliest known photograph taken in Tibet, dating to 1863. She looks at the experimental camera-work of Tibetan monks including the thirteenth Dalai Lama and the creations of contemporary Tibetan photographers and artists. With every image she explores the complex religious, political, and cultural climate in which it was produced. Stunningly illustrated, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the dramatic history of Tibet since the mid-nineteenth century and its unique entanglements with aesthetics and modernity.

247 pages : chiefly color illustrations ; 29 cm

Abstract: "Hugh Steers: The Complete Paintings is the first publication on the career of American figurative painter Hugh Steers (1962-95), who died of AIDS at the age of 32. Committed to figurative painting at a time when it had fallen out of favor, Steers painted expressionist-realist narratives of a life shadowed by isolation and mortality, yet infused with wry humor, camp and what Steers himself called a 'gorgeous bleakness.' Steers consciously merged AIDS, intimacy and the body into the traditional vocabulary of painting. With his vulnerable subjects depicted in hospital rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, Steers engaged with radical ideas about male intimacy, queer politics, fragility and health care at the height of the AIDS crisis. Featuring more than 600 full-color images of Steers' paintings on canvas and paper, this volume provides a long-overdue, expansive view of the artist's career and impact."--Amazon.com.

The meaning of partisanship /

Abstract: "For a century at least, parties have been central to the study of politics. Yet their typical conceptual reduction to a network of power-seeking elites has left many to wonder why parties were ever thought crucial to democracy. This book seeks to retrieve a richer conception of partisanship, drawing on modern political thought and extending it in the light of contemporary democratic theory and practice. Looking beyond the party as organization, the book develops an original account of what it is to be a partisan. It examines the ideas, orientations, obligations, and practices constitutive of partisanship properly understood, and how these intersect with the core features of democratic life. Such an account serves to underline in distinctive fashion why democracy needs its partisans, and puts in relief some of the key trends of contemporary politics."--Publisher's website.

Abstract: At the dawn of the seventeenth century, immigrants to this country arrived with dreams of conquering a new frontier. Families were willing to embrace a life of strife and hardship but with great hopes of achieving prominence and wealth. Such is the case with the Hambleton family. From William Hambleton's arrival on the Eastern Shore in 1657 and through every major conflict on land, sea, and air since, a member of the Hambleton clan has participated and made a lasting contribution to this nation. Their achievements are not only in war but in civic leadership as well. Among its members are bankers, business leaders, government officials, and visionaries.--Publisher's description.

Flying fish in the great white north :

Abstract: "Notwithstanding Indigenous Peoples, Canada is a nation of immigrants. As a settler colony, the French and English charter immigrant "solitudes" created a paradigm of "White Canada" nation-building defined by exclusionary and hypocritical immigration policies. Canada was a "White man's country" built by non-Whites on the stolen lands of colonized Aboriginal peoples, where discriminatory anti-Black immigration policy, particularly during the early twentieth century up to the immigration policy reforms of the 1960s, was designed to restrict and prohibit the entry of Black Barbadians and Black West Indians. The Canadian state capitalized on the public's fear of the "Black unknown" and the negative codification of Black identity and used illogical fallacies such as climate "unsuitability" to justify the exclusion of Black Barbadians and West Indians"--

United States service academy admissions ;

National Defense Research Institute (U.S.),

Abstract: "This report examines admission standards at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) and officer outcomes to evaluate whether the USAFA admissions formula should be adjusted. USAFA admissions are partly determined based on scores calculated as a weighted combination of three elements: academic composite, leadership composite, and selection panel score. The authors explored relationships between various admissions factors (SAT/ACT composite scores, high school rank divided by class size, selection composite score, leadership composite score, academic composite score, and selection panel score) and USAFA and officer outcomes (grade point average; failure to graduate for academic reasons; failure to graduate because of a desire for a career change; military performance average; overall performance average; and promotion to O-4, O-5, and O-6). The data included records on the nearly 35,000 cadets who attended USAFA from 1980 to 2011 from three Air Force data sources: USAFA registrar admissions records, USAFA cadet records, and Air Force personnel records. Recommendations include removing the selection panel score from the selection composite formula, collecting additional information on applicants, and improving data retention and maintenance"--Back cover.

The Gaithers and southern gospel :

Abstract: In The Gaithers and Southern Gospel, Ryan P. Harper examines songwriters Bill and Gloria Gaither's Homecoming video and concert series-a gospel music franchise that, since its beginning in 1991, has outperformed all Christian and much secular popular music on the American music market. The Homecomings represent "southern gospel." Typically that means a musical style popular among white evangelical Christians in the American South and Midwest, and it sometimes overlaps in style, theme, and audience with country music. The Homecomings' nostalgic orientation- their celebration of "traditional" kinds of American Christian life-harmonize well with southern gospel music, past and present. But amidst the backward gazes, the Homecomings also portend and manifest change. The Gaithers' deliberate racial integration of their stages, their careful articulation of a relatively inclusive evangelical theology, and their experiments with an array of musical forms demonstrate that the Homecoming is neither simplistically nostalgic, nor solely "southern." Harper reveals how the Gaithers negotiate a tension between traditional and changing community norms as they seek simultaneously to maintain and expand their audience as well as to initiate and respond to shifts within their fan base. Pulling from his field work at Homecoming concerts, behind the scenes with the Gaithers, and with numerous Homecoming fans, Harper reveals the Homecoming world to be a dynamic, complicated constellation in the formation of American religious identity [Publisher description]

David Adjaye constructed narratives /

Abstract: This book brings together essays and several recently completed buildings by David Adjaye, in the United States and elsewhere. In the essays, Adjaye shows how his approach to the design of temporary pavilions and furniture, private houses, and installations at the 2015 Venice Biennale feeds into his designs for public buildings. Other essays discuss his engagement with geography, the urban environment, his approach to materiality, and architectural types. The presented projects include two public libraries and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, all in Washington D.C., a residential mixed-use building in New York, and a hybrid art-retail building in Beirut. Two of Adjaye's current projects are also included.

Abstract: This is a critical survey by two architects of university residences in Canada at a time of growth in numbers of students and when undergrad housing was becoming an acute problem. An architectural approach indicates need for a residence to be part of a continuity of university buildings and spaces, designed to relate living and studying in a meaningful way. This book illustrates with photographs, architectural plans and drawings how few university residences in Canada fulfill these qualifications.

Second Temple Jewish 'paideia' in context /

Enoch Seminar Nangeroni Meeting
Zurawski, Jason,
Boccaccini, Gabriele,

Abstract: Publisher's description: Despite the impressive strides made in the past century in the understanding of Second Temple Jewish history and the strong scholarly interest in paideia within ancient Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, and late antique Christian cultures, the nature of Jewish paideia during the period has, until recently, received surprisingly little attention. The essays collected here were first offered for discussion at the Fifth Enoch Seminar Nangeroni Meeting, held in Naples, Italy, from June 30 - July 4, 2015, the purpose of which was to gain greater insight into the diversity of views of Jewish education during the period, both in Judea and Diaspora communities, by viewing them in light of their contemporary Greco-Roman backgrounds and Ancient Near Eastern influences. Together, they represent the broad array of approaches and specialties required to comprehend this complex and multi-faceted subject, and they demonstrate the fundamental importance of the topic for a fuller understanding of the period. The volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars of the history and culture of the Jewish people during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, ancient education, and Greek and Roman history.

Azandname :

Abstract: "The Manichaean communities in Turfan (in modern-day Xinjiang, China) produced numerous texts in many languages, including Sogdian, an eastern Middle Iranian language. The present work is an edition and literary-critical study of the longest continuous Manichaean text in Sogdian, known as the Azandnamē, or Parable-Book. The Parable-Book preserves parts of three parables which illuminate various aspects of Manichaean teaching by means of a narrative followed by an explanation. A new and expanded edition of the Sogdian text, with English translation and philological commentary, forms the first part of this study. Along with sermons, hymns, and confessionals, parables were one of the major genres of non-canonical texts produced by Manichaeans in Central Asian communities, surviving in Middle Persian, Parthian, and Old Turkic, as well as Sogdian. In the second part of this study, a new approach to the study of Manichaean parables is presented, taking into account their intertextuality as part of a genre that can only exist in interdependence on all other genres of Manichaean literature. This approach allows new light to be shed on the text of the Azandnamē while also investigating how and for which purposes the parables were produced and used"--

Les prétentions généalogiques en Grèce :

1045 pages : genealogical tables ; 24 cm.

Abstract: "Les prétentions généalogiques sont un phénomène vieux comme le monde, et l'historien actuel a souvent le réflexe de les écarter comme si elles se réduisaient à la simple expression d'une vanité sans fondement. La tentation est d'autant plus forte dans les cas où l'hiatus social, culturel ou chronologique est particulièrement marqué. Or, on constate une inflation de ces prétentions à certaines époques, ce qui est interprété à contrario comme l'illustration de la fatuité d'homines noui privés ancêtres. Christian Settipani éreinte cette opinion en examinant le cas des prétentions formulées par des notables athéniens à l'époque impériale. L'étude prosopographique des réseaux familiaux auxquels appartiennent ces derniers plaide pour une mémoire des filiations soigneusement perpétuée plutôt que pour une invention triviale. Plus généralement, l'étude amène à repenser le phénomène des prétentions généalogiques dans sa totalité. L'expression englobe des réalités multiples et fort diverses qu'on ne peut traiter de façon identique pour, par exemple, les parvenus notoires ou les anciennes familles aristocratiques. Doivent être également distinguées les prétentions qui renvoient à des ancêtres mythologiques de celles qui remontent à des personnages historiques, sans pour autant les opposer. L'influence des Romains sur les prétentions formulées à Athènes au temps de leur domination apparaît clairement, cependant qu'il convient de relativiser son poids réel sur une société au passé aristocratique fort ancien. L'étude généalogique est conduite à partir des recueils prosopographiques récents (Persons of Ancient Athens, Lexicon of Greek Personal Names) tout en complétant le corpus des textes et des inscriptions récemment exhumées. Christian Settipani démontre que les Grecs et, en particulier, les Athéniens disposent de supports suffisants pour véhiculer une mémoire généalogique lointaine."--Page 4 of cover.

Le Pérou avant les Incas /

221 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), color maps ; 29 cm

Abstract: Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition éponyme présentée au musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, du 14 novembre 2017 au 1er avril 2018.00Les vestiges des premières sociétés de la côte nord du Pérou subissaient depuis longtemps l'outrage du temps et des destructions. Leur souvenir s'évanouissait dans l'ombre d'une civilisation éclatante, celle des Incas. Depuis trente ans, fouilles et études des cultures matérielles livrent peu à peu les secrets d'une histoire se comptant en millénaires. Le Pérou avant les Incas témoigne avec science et clarté de ces trésors du patrimoine culturel péruvien mis au jour par les archéologues : remarquables céramiques, ornements ouvragés en or, cuivre et argent.0Dans la facture de ces pièces et dans leurs fonctions se lisent des pratiques sociales, des relations de pouvoir, des croyances que l'ouvrage questionne de manière passionnante. Par l'analyse de l'architecture, se dessine la trame de sociétés sans lesquelles les Incas n'auraient sans doute pas atteint le degré de développement et d'innovation qui fut le leur.

Il s'agit là du principal évènement économique du début du XXIe siècle. Cet évènement interpelle le Maroc, le Maghreb, l'Afrique et l'espace sudméditerranéen, parce qu'il est porteur d'un second dépassement historique, provenant, cette fois, non pas de l'Occident, mais de la Chine lointaine pourtant tellement présente dans notre quotidien.

Abstract: Le phénomène de miniaturisation dans la production artistique fait l'objet à l'heure actuelle d'un intérêt croissant. Parmi les formes que peut prendre la miniaturisation, il faut signaler le portrait. Le petit portrait royal trouve son origine à la cour macédonienne de Philippe II de Macédoine et de son fils et successeur Alexandre le Grand. Il a connu par la suite une grande faveur dans les royaumes hellénistiques, tout particulièrement dans l'Égypte ptolémaïque. Cette étude se veut une première synthèse sur les portraits en médaillons miniatures des souverains lagides.

Les coquelicots de l'Oriental :

Abstract: L'Oriental, c'est la région de hautes plaines, à l'Est du Maroc, qui s'étend du Moyen Atlas à la frontière algérienne. C'est là que l'auteur est né sous la tente familiale "en 1949 ou 1950". Les coquelicots, ce sont ceux dont il était chargé d'aller cueillir les boutons. Sa mère les faisait cuire:-au beurre et il garde encore le souvenir de ce plat délicieux. Aujourd'hui ingénieur, Brick Oussaïd nous raconte son enfance, son difficile apprentissage de la langue arabe, les innombrables épreuves quotidiennes d'une poignée d'individus pauvres dans une région aride, ses efforts pour s'instruire et parvenir à aider enfin les siens à sortir du dénuement. Dans un style extrêmement dépouillé, il reconstitue le paysage, les saveurs et les senteurs qui ont marqué ses premières années, le contact vivifiant avec la nature par- fois hostile, mais toujours prétexte à évasion, les événements qui font l'histoire de "sa" vallée. Mieux que toute enquête sociologique, ce récit nous fait entrer dans une communauté mal connue où le mieux que l'on puisse rêver est de vivre dignement sa misère. -- Back cover.

Les troubadours :

393 pages : illustrations, charts, music ; 23 cm

Abstract: "Ce livre est une somme sur ce que l'on peut savoir aujourd'hui de la pratique des premiers chanteurs : les troubadours occitans, qui s'illustrèrent dans les cours du midi de la France aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles. C'est aussi un livre majeur parce que les ouvrages fondamentaux sur le sujet sont anciens et que les monographies, en petit nombre, actuellement disponibles se bornent à envisager les chants de troubadours sur un plan littéraire et non comme des oeuvres indissociables de la musique qui les accompagne. L'auteur retrace tout d'abord la vie de ces poètes musiciens, dont les plus réputés furent Bernart de Ventadorn, Guiraut de Bornelh, Arnaut Daniel, Peire Vidal ou Guiraut Riquier. Il examine la thématique des poèmes, la fin'amor, célébration de l'amour pour la dame idéalisée. Puis il analyse plus en détail leurs chansons, qui témoignent de la virtuosité dont ils firent preuve dans l'invention d'une parole profane et d'une musique au charme étrange, adaptée du chant religieux. Il donne enfin des indices sur la manière dont les troubadours chantaient leurs compositions. De fait, leur activité, tout comme celle des jongleurs, les interprètes, ne se comprend qu'à partir de la liberté du geste vocal inévitablement figée par la plume des copistes dans les manuscrits.
