【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！】Picturing the Reader Reading and Representation in the Long Nineteenth Century【電子書籍】[ J. B. Bullen ]

＜p＞≪Adopting an interdisciplinary approach to a range of visual and textual material, this engaging and illuminating collection compels twenty-first-century readers to take a fresh look at the multiple ways in which readers and reading were represented in the long nineteenth century.≫ (Professor Julia Thomas, Cardiff University)＜/p＞ ＜p＞The long nineteenth century saw a prolific increase in the number of books being produced and read and, consequently, in the number of visual and textual discourses about reading. This collection examines a range of visual and textual iconographies of readers produced during this period and maps the ways in which such representations engaged with crucial issues of the time, including literary value, gender formation, familial relationships, the pursuit of leisure and the understanding of new technologies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gauging the ways in which Victorians conceptualized reading has often relied on textual sources, but here we recognize and elaborate the importance of visual culture ? often in dialogue with textual evidence ? in shaping the way people read and thought about reading. This book brings together historians, literary scholars and art historians using a range of methodologies and theoretical approaches to address ideas of readership found in fine art, photography, arts and craft, illustration, novels, diaries and essays. The volume shows how the field of readership studies can be enriched and furthered through an interdisciplinary approach and, in particular, through an exploration of the visual iconography of readers and reading.＜/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。

【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！】Facets of Domestication Case Studies in Polish-English and English-Polish Translation【電子書籍】[ Miroslawa Buchholtz ]

＜p＞Lawrence Venuti’s distinction between foreignizing and domesticating translation is a powerful concept in translation studies. This volume discusses domestication and foreignization in Polish-English and English-Polish translation and presents case studies of film, prose, poetry, and non-fiction, Internet memes and a card game. For many students of the discipline, it is an initiation rite of sorts to face the proposition that domestication is not the only way to do translation, and that translation is not the transparent mediation many intuitively believe it should be. To examine the concept, one has to take a close look at translation policies, genre conventions, stylistic shifts in translation, the rearrangement and manipulation of content, or the treatment of culture-specific items.＜/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。

【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！】Travel Tales: Russia & The USSR True Travel Tales【電子書籍】[ Michael Brein ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Travel Tales: Russia & The USSR＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Is a collection of travel stories of one of the travel world's most, shall we say, ＜em＞duplicitous＜/em＞ destinations ー a bit mysterious, somewhat alluring, yet still demanding a modicum of caution. Russia, formerly the Soviet Union, aka the USSR, is a place you can never quite get comfortable with. Oh, for sure, things improved much when the Soviet Union as such collapsed and morphed into what is now a more modern-day Russia, or more formerly "The Russian Federation." Russia, for sure, abounds with history and untold artistic treasures and has modernized considerably bringing itself into the more modern-day 21st century. Maybe not quite among the world's most eagerly sought out destinations on Earth to visit, like, say, the Mediterranean, the pyramids of Egypt, the shopping and culinary meccas of Western Europe, or the wilds of Africa, Russia remains, however, in the minds of armchair travelers and adventurers alike looking to travel one day to Russia, say, to St. Petersburg or Moscow, or perhaps, even take a river journey between these two cities, or take a train trip on the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Russia, though lacking in the relatively innocuous and more mellow travel like, say, to Europe, certainly now has suddenly become one of the more challenging countries to visit. Given the current world political arena, travel to Russia from the West for the foreseeable future will virtually cease to nil. Shall we say that this book on travel to Russia during the Cold War, through its return to the world stage, and now to its presence in the world as a pariah nation ー now in the negative news media on a daily basis ー is certainly not recommended as a destination for the unknown foreseeable future. This book, then, is more attuned to the armchair adventurer and those travelers who are now more curious than anything else and now more than ever before ー about what travel to Russia ＜em＞has been like＜/em＞ in the recent past, and now that Russia is largely off the plate for travel at least for the foreseeable future. Now is the time to sit back and contemplate more about what travel to Russia ＜em＞was＜/em＞ like in the recent past, now that it is not likely to return any time soon as a goal for future travel adventures. So, given our ＜em＞True Travel Tales＜/em＞ destinations sub-series, what was travel to the old USSR and Russia like, at least at the beginning of the more modern-day twenty-first century and slightly beyond? It is one of our purposes of the ＜em＞True Travel Tales＜/em＞ series to provide a cross-section of travel life in the world's most popular and alluring places, that along with the good comes sometimes a portion of the bad as well. In the ＜em＞True Travel Tales＜/em＞ series, we aim to pull no punches. You'll see some of the good and best sides of Russia as it reached the more modern era, and in so doing, you'll also sample some of the more discomforting or disquieting darker aspects as well that sadly were also part of the cycle of travel life in such a diverse and exotic region as the USSR and our token look of travel to Russia in its greater glory in the more modern day.＜/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。

【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！】Recollections of Manilla and the Philippines During 1848, 1849 and 1850【電子書籍】[ Robert MacMicking ]

＜p＞In "Recollections of Manilla and the Philippines," Robert MacMicking offers a rich and evocative portrayal of his experiences in the Philippines during the late 19th century. This work transcends mere travelogue, delving into the cultural intricacies and societal norms of Manila. MacMicking's narrative is infused with vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, capturing the complexities of colonial life and the vivid landscapes that characterized his surroundings. The literary style blends poetic prose with insightful commentary, reflective of the growing European interest in the East during the colonial era. Robert MacMicking, a ship's officer turned writer, draws from his extensive travels and encounters with diverse cultures. His keen observations are informed by both personal experiences and the historical context of his time, marked by the decline of Spanish domination in the region. This background undoubtedly influenced his nuanced perspective on colonialism and its impact on the local populace, making him a significant voice in travel literature. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in colonial history, travel narratives, and the cultural dynamics of the Philippines. MacMicking's insights not only offer an intimate look at a bygone era but also provoke reflection on the enduring legacies of colonialism in contemporary society.＜/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。

【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！】Flameless Liquid Cremation【電子書籍】[ Hal Peters ]

＜p＞Science now offers a new option for the handing of human remains. We are talking about nothing short of transforming / disrupting the entire Funeral Industry. The results are in: Flameless Liquid Cremation (where available) is preferred 9 out of 10 times for loved ones who have died. It is literally helping humanity “redefine” death! Study this book, for after all . . . WE SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF HOW WE MELD BACK INTO THE UNIVERSE! Over 50 percent of people today in the USA are cremated after they die. Mostly economics is driving this increasing trend. The cost of “dealing with” the body of someone who has passed away is somewhat prohibitive. This book is an introduction to a new, more dignified, and palatable way to have our physical body dealt with (after we die). Not necessarily a pleasant topic to think or talk about, but necessary. Flameless Liquid Cremation is now available in over one half of the States in the USA. As the name implies, it does not use flames and heat to break down a body’s soft tissue. As detailed in this book, what Flameless Liquid Cremation offers is for all of us . . . to eventually (have the atoms that made up our physical body) ? wind up in the Ocean . . . in effect . . . have “Burial at Sea”! Just like with traditional Flame-based cremation, the family is left with an Urn, containing the solid crushed up bones (to do with what they want). Leading environmental commentators have noted that cemeteries are getting crowded, and much of the 800,000+ gallons of cancer-causing embalming fluid used annually will wind up in our drinking water. Not to mention, in the US alone, it has been estimated that cemeteries interring people make use of 30 million board feet of hardwood and 100,000+ tons of steel (for caskets). Without countervailing voices, challenging existing power structures (ex: the Funeral Industrial Complex), freedom to do with your body as YOU WISH will not happen. Without countervailing voices, a better way of handling our dead will not happen. The future is unavoidable. Therefore, it is vital that people specify how they want to be treated, and their body handled, when one passes away. Look at this solution the author has elected to have performed. He wishes and is hopeful that it will be available in his NJ / NY area by the time his family has to confront this issue.＜/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。

【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！】Transforming Organisational Culture Through Coaching【電子書籍】[ Dr Susanne Knowles ]

＜p＞Organisations continue to look for ways to increase shareholder value. After they downsize and rightsize, leaders look to maximise the return on their human capital investment. Coaching, when delivered throughout the organisation, has been found to be a particularly effective and powerful means of creating transformational, cultural change. Organisations with a growth mentality use coaching to recognise and unleash the potential of all employees. The book is an informative source of practical strategies and mechanisms to successfully develop and embed a coaching culture into an organisation. CEOs, senior executives, organisational leaders and HR professionals will benefit from the structured approach to changing organisational thinking and behaving to bring about cultural change. Leaders can checklist where they are on their journey to embedding a coaching culture and identify any gaps they need to fill, plus the next steps they need to take to become a fully transformed organisation benefitting from increased staff engagement, productivity improvements and the retention of talented staff. Four discrete stages that organisations go through to develop a coaching culture have been identified from my research. These stages relate to organisational leaders' understanding of coaching, motivation for coaching, key drivers of coaching throughout the organisation and the people who deliver the coaching. Processes and strategies for organisations to transition from one stage to the next are detailed. The educational, psychological and management strategies and mechanisms by which organisational leaders learn, grow and behave differently as the organisation transitions from one stage to the next are revealed. Implications for CEO and senior executives, HR professionals and organisational leaders are outlined.＜/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＞＜em＞＜strong＞Laura Nader＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞documents decades of letters written, received, and archived by esteemed author and anthropologist Laura Nader.＜/strong＞ She revisits her correspondence with academic colleagues, lawyers, politicians, military officers, and many others, all with unique and insightful perspectives on a variety of social and political issues. She uses personal and professional correspondence as a way of examining complex issues and dialogues that might not be available by other means. By compiling these letters, Nader allows us to take an intimate look at how she interacts with people across multiple fields, disciplines, and outlooks.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Arranged chronologically by decade, this book follows Nader from her early career and efforts to change patriarchal policies at UC, Berkeley, to her efforts to fight against climate change and minimize environmental degradation. The letters act as snapshots, giving us glimpses of the lives and issues that dominated culture at the time of their writing. Among the many issues that the correspondence in ＜em＞Laura Nader＜/em＞ explores are how a man on death row sees things, how scientists are concerned about and approach their subject matter, and how an anthropologist ponders issues of American survival. The result is an intriguing and comprehensive history of energy, physics, law, anthropology, feminism and legal anthropology in the United States, as well as a reflection of a lifelong career in legal scholarship.＜/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＞＜em＞＜strong＞Anarchy and the Art＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞of Listening is an ethnography of politics as it is practiced on the other side of the spoken word, in the act of listening.＜/strong＞ James Slotta explores how people in the Yopno Valley of Papua New Guinea cultivate their listening to exercise power, shape their futures, and sustain their communities in the face of ambitious leaders and powerful outside institutions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As in many parts of the global south, missionaries, NGO workers, educators, mining companies, politicians, development experts, and others have sought to transform life in and around the Yopno Valley. But as this book makes clear, people there have not been a passive and pliable audience for these efforts. They have brought their skills as "anarchic listeners" to these encounters, advancing political agendas of their own.＜/p＞ ＜p＞To understand political life in the Yopno Valley, we need to look not only at political speech but at the practices that lie on the other side of the word in the act of listening. This, Slotta suggests, is also true well beyond the bounds of the Yopno Valley.＜/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。

【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！】Working Democracies Managing Inequality in Worker Cooperatives【電子書籍】[ Joan S. M. Meyers ]

＜p＞In this inside look at worker cooperatives, Joan Meyers challenges long-held views and beliefs. From the outside, worker cooperatives all seem to offer alternatives to bad jobs and unequal treatment by giving workers democratic control and equitable ownership of their workplaces. Some contend, however, that such egalitarianism and self-management come at the cost of efficiency and stability, and are impractical in the long run. ＜em＞Working Democracies＜/em＞ focuses on two worker cooperatives in business since the 1970s that transformed from small countercultural collectives into thriving multiracial and largely working-class firms. She shows how democratic worker ownership can provide stability and effective business management, but also shows that broad equality is not an inevitable outcome despite the best intentions of cooperative members.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Working Democracies＜/em＞ explores the interconnections between organizational structure and organizational culture under conditions of worker control, revealing not only the different effects of managerialism and "participatory bureaucracy," but also how each bureaucratic variation is facilitated by how workers are defined by at each cooperative. Both bureaucratic variation and worker meanings are, she shows, are consequential for the reduction or reproduction of class, gender, and ethnoracial inequalities. Offering a behind the scenes comparative look at an often invisible type of workplace, ＜em＞Working Democracie＜/em＞s serves as a guidebook for the future of worker cooperatives.＜/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。

【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！】Cinema and the Cultural Cold War US Diplomacy and the Origins of the Asian Cinema Network【電子書籍】[ Sangjoon Lee ]

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Cinema and the Cultural Cold War＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞explores the ways in which postwar Asian cinema was shaped by transnational collaborations and competitions between newly independent and colonial states at the height of Cold War politics.＜/strong＞ Sangjoon Lee adopts a simultaneously global and regional approach when analyzing the region's film cultures and industries. New economic conditions in the Asian region and shared postwar experiences among the early cinema entrepreneurs were influenced by Cold War politics, US cultural diplomacy, and intensified cultural flows during the 1950s and 1960s. By taking a closer look at the cultural realities of this tumultuous period, Lee comprehensively reconstructs Asian film history in light of the international relationships forged, broken, and re-established as the influence of the non-aligned movement grew across the Cold War.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lee elucidates how motion picture executives, creative personnel, policy makers, and intellectuals in East and Southeast Asia aspired to industrialize their Hollywood-inspired system in order to expand the market and raise the competitiveness of their cultural products. They did this by forming the Federation of Motion Picture Producers in Asia, co-hosting the Asian Film Festival, and co-producing films. ＜em＞Cinema and the Cultural Cold War＜/em＞ demonstrates that the emergence of the first intensive postwar film producers' network in Asia was, in large part, the offspring of Cold War cultural politics and the product of American hegemony.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Film festivals that took place in cities as diverse as Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur were annual showcases of cinematic talent as well as opportunities for the Central Intelligence Agency to establish and maintain cultural, political, and institutional linkages between the United States and Asia during the Cold War. ＜em＞Cinema and the Cultural Cold War＜/em＞ reanimates this almost-forgotten history of cinema and the film industry in Asia.＜/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。
