【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Ottoman Dress and Design in the West A Visual History of Cultural Exchange【電子書籍】[ Charlotte Jirousek ]

＜p＞＜strong＞"This amply illustrated, attractive book is valuable for dress history scholars . . . [an] ideal textbook for courses on clothing and cultural history." ー ＜em＞The Journal of Dress History＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Ottoman Dress and Design in the West is a richly illustrated exploration of the relationship between West and Near East through the visual culture of dress. Charlotte Jirousek examines the history of dress and fashion in the broader context of western relationships with the Mediterranean world from the dawn of Islam through the end of the twentieth century. The significance of dress is made apparent by the author's careful attention to its political, economic, and cultural context. The reader comes to understand that dress reflects not simply the self and one's relation to community but also that community's relation to a wider world through trade, colonization, religion, and technology. The chapters provide broad historical background on Ottoman influence and European exoticization of that influence, while the captions and illustrations provide detailed studies of illuminations, paintings, and sculptures to show how these influences were absorbed into everyday living. Through the medium of dress, Jirousek details a continually shifting Ottoman frontier that is closely tied to European and American history. In doing so, she explores and celebrates an essential source of influence that for too long has been relegated to the periphery.＜/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。

And they are now the subject of Nicholas Saunders's pioneering study.＜br /＞ Saunders reveals the lost world of trench art, for every piece relates to the story of the momentous experience of its makerーwhether front-line soldier, prisoner of war, or civilian refugee. The objects resonate with the alternating terror and boredom of war, and those created by the prisoners symbolize their struggle for survival in the camps. Many of these items were poignant souvenirs bought by battlefield pilgrims between 1919 and 1939 and kept brightly polished on mantelpieces, often for a lifetime.＜br /＞ Nicholas Saunders investigates their origins and how they were made, exploring their personal meaning and cultural significance.

A valuable record." ーWest Somerset Railway Association＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Continuing with images from transport photographer Jim Blake's extensive archives, this book examines the second half of the 1970s, when both London Transport and London Country were still struggling to keep services going. This resulted both from being plagued by a shortage of spare parts for their vehicles and having a number of vehicle types which were unreliableーthe MB, SM and DMS classes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1975, both operators had to hire buses from other companies, so desperate were they. Many came from the seaside towns of Southend, Bournemouth and Eastbourne. This continued until the spares shortage began to abate later in the decade, particularly with London Country.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the decade progressed, the two fleets began to lose their "ancestral" vehicle types. London Country rapidly became "just another National Bus Company fleet," buying Leyland Atlanteans and Nationals common to most others throughout the country. Having virtually abandoned the awful MB and SM-types, London Transport had to suffer buying the equally awful DMSs well into 1978, but had already ordered replacements for them by that pointーthe M class Metrobuses and T class Titansーboth of which would finally prove successful. However, plans to convert trunk routes serving Central London to one-person operation were largely abandoned.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"A very interesting book.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Arctic Cinemas and the Documentary Ethos【電子書籍】[ Anna Westerstahl Stenport ]

＜p＞＜strong＞A collection of essays analyzing the representation of the Arctic region in documentary films.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Beginning with Robert Flaherty's ＜em＞Nanook of the North＜/em＞ (1922), the majority of films that have been made in, about, and by filmmakers from the Arctic region have been documentary cinema. Focused on a hostile environment that few people visit, these documentaries have heavily shaped ideas about the contemporary global Far North. In ＜em＞Arctic Cinemas and the Documentary Ethos＜/em＞, contributors from a variety of scholarly and artistic backgrounds come together to provide a comprehensive study of Arctic documentary cinemas from a transnational perspective. This book offers a thorough analysis of the concept of the Arctic as it is represented in documentary filmmaking, while challenging the notion of "The Arctic" as a homogenous entity that obscures the environmental, historical, geographic, political, and cultural differences that characterize the region. By examining how the Arctic is imagined, understood, and appropriated in documentary work, the contributors argue that such films are key in contextualizing environmental, indigenous, political, cultural, sociological, and ethnographic understandings of the Arctic, from early cinema to the present. Understanding the role of these films becomes all the more urgent in the present day, as conversations around resource extraction, climate change, and sovereignty take center stage in the Arctic's representation.＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"Highly recommended." ー ＜em＞Choice＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜br /＞ ＜strong＞"A thorough exploration of the inexorable links between the circumpolar regions and historic and contemporary documentary filmmaking. It will b valuable to Arctic humanities specialists, particularly as a welcome addition to scholarship on visual depictions of the Arctic by authors such as Ann Fienup-Riordan, Richard Condon, Russell Potter, and Peter Geller, as well as Mackenzie and Westerstahl Steport's earlier co-edited volume, ＜em＞Films on Ice＜/em＞. It will also be of use to anyone interested in ways of studying linkages between filmmaking, environments, and local and outsider communities." ーSarah Pickman, Yale University, H-Environment, January 2020＜/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。

＜p＞＜strong＞The author of ＜em＞Battle for Paris 1815＜/em＞ examines the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of Napoleon's Imperial Guard.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞From its origins as the Consular Guard of the French Republic, and as Napoleon's personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard developed into a force of all arms numbering almost 100,000 men. Used by Napoleon as his principal tactical reserve, the Guard was engaged only sparingly, being deployed at the crucial moment of battle to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Emperor of the French.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Naturally, the Imperial Guard has been the subject of numerous books over many decades, yet there has never been a publication that has investigated the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of the Imperial Guard with such detail and precision.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Jewish Difference and the Arts in Vienna Composing Compassion in Music and Biblical Theater【電子書籍】[ Caroline A. Kita ]

＜p＞＜strong＞This study "brings to life a circle of writers and composers, with analyses of their major, minor . . . and forgotten works of Jewish music theater" (Abigail Gillman, author of ＜em＞Viennese Jewish Modernism＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜br /＞ During the mid-19th century, the works of Arthur Schopenhauer and Richard Wagner sparked an impulse toward German cultural renewal and social change that drew on religious myth, metaphysics, and spiritualism. The only problem was that their works were deeply antisemitic and entangled with claims that Jews were incapable of creating compassionate art. By looking at the works of Jewish composers and writers who contributed to a lively and robust biblical theatre in fin de si?cle Vienna, Caroline A. Kita shows how they reimagined myths of the Old Testament to offer new aesthetic and ethical views of compassion.＜br /＞ These Jewish artists, including Gustav Mahler, Siegfried Lipiner, Richard Beer-Hofmann, Stefan Zweig, and Arnold Schoenberg, reimagined biblical stories through the lens of the modern Jewish subject to plead for justice and compassion toward the Jewish community. By tracing responses to antisemitic discourses of compassion, Kita reflects on the explicitly and increasingly troubled political and social dynamics at the end of the Habsburg Empire.＜/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。
