【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！】Neoliberalism, Postmodernity, and the Contemporary Memorial-Building Boom【電子書籍】[ Nicola Clewer ]

＜p＞The book develops a new approach to, and a distinct reading of, the contemporary memorial-building boom which began in the 1980s.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Locating the origins of this boom in the crises associated with postmodernity and the rise of neoliberalism, it analyses the complex interplay between neoliberalism, postmodernism and nationalism in some of the most well-known memorials and memorial-museums to have emerged in the USA and Germany over the last four decades.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rather than offering a survey of contemporary memorials, it traces a specific trajectory (and certainly not the only one ripe for analysis): from the postmodern memorials of the 1980s to the increasingly monumental and authoritative memorials and memorial-museums being constructed today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Developing a distinct interdisciplinary approach, the book offers a critical analysis of the relationship between the memorials’ form, the “visitor experience” they’re intended to offer. and the understanding of history and our relation to it which underpins their philosophical, ethical and political stance. Questioning the notion that contemporary memorials are ambiguous, non-ideological and non-nationalistic, the book argues that they are engaged in rearticulating nationalism in line with the contradictory demands of the current conjuncture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As well as critically analysing the political function of national memorials, the book is equally concerned with interrogating the aesthetic means they employ, with a specific focus on the way in which they mobilise the power of the sublime to generate particular affective responses. The book argues that contemporary national memorials reflect one of the most significant convergences between postmodern thought and neoliberal ideology ? both project a permanent present, urging us to recreate ourselves in the light of existing conditions, for “there is no alternative”.＜/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！】Joseph and Harriet Hawley's Civil War Partnership, Ambition, and Sacrifice【電子書籍】[ Paul E. Teed ]

＜p＞This book explores the remarkable partnership of Joseph and Harriet Hawley, a married couple from Connecticut whose lives were transformed by overlapping experiences in the American Civil War era. When Joseph became the colonel of the 7th Connecticut Infantry Regiment in 1862, Harriet ignored family advice and social convention, and travelled to Union military headquarters at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where Joseph’s regiment was stationed. From that bold beginning, she spent the next three years as a visitor at field hospitals, a teacher at freedman’s schools, a wartime journalist, a ward nurse, and her husband’s informal advisor and publicist. Moving in and around the scenes of military action, she lived and worked in spaces usually reserved for men and took on responsibilities that implicitly challenged conventional understandings of women’s physical and emotional dependency. While Joseph struggled for recognition and promotion in the brutally competitive environment of Union military politics, Harriet shrewdly used her own personal contacts with power brokers in Hartford and Washington to protect his interests and those of his men. And as the terrible realities of the Civil War pushed them both to the brink of physical and emotional collapse, Harriet and Joseph remained committed to the cause and found ways to sustain their devotion to both Union and emancipation in the very worst moments of the conflict.＜/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！】A House Built by Slaves African American Visitors to the Lincoln White House【電子書籍】[ Jonathan W. White ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Readers of American history and books on Abraham Lincoln will appreciate what＜/strong＞ ＜em＞＜strong＞Los Angeles Review of Books＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞deems an "accessible book" that "puts a human face - many human faces - on the story of Lincoln's attitudes toward and engagement with African Americans" and＜/strong＞ ＜em＞＜strong＞Publishers Weekly＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞calls "a rich and comprehensive account."＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Widely praised and winner of the 2023 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize, this book illuminates why Lincoln's unprecedented welcoming of African American men and women to the White House transformed the trajectory of race relations in the United States. From his 1862 meetings with Black Christian ministers, Lincoln began inviting African Americans of every background into his home, from ex-slaves from the Deep South to champions of abolitionism such as Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. More than a good-will gesture, the president conferred with his guests about the essential issues of citizenship and voting rights. Drawing from an array of primary sources, White reveals how African Americans used the White House as a national stage to amplify their calls for equality. Even more than 160 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln's inclusion of African Americans remains a necessary example in a country still struggling from racial divisions today.＜/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＞Having achieved its independence from France in 1960, Chad has run into a serious crises of national building, which have continued to haunt it to the present day, making it one of the poorest and most politically unstable countries on the globe. Chad is a country with sharp geographic and climatic contrasts that puzzle and fascinate the visitor, displaying first a monotonous but majestic portion of the Saharan Desert in the north, punctuated by plains and high altitudes displayed by the Tibesti mountains, where the highest point, Emi Koussi, reaches 11,204 ft.; the middle Central Sahelian zone, where pastoral transhumance lifestyle predominates but where and nut cultivation and harvesting is possible; and an endowed southern tropical zone where the forest and the savanna meet, blessed by several long-running rivers, most notably, the Logone and the Chari that empty their waters into centuries-old Lake Chad. Even though things in Chad seem to have improved during the past 10 years, most observers agree that the path to peace, reconstruction, and economic progress is still long and arduous.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Chad contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.

【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！】Archaeological Oddities A Field Guide to Forty Claims of Lost Civilizations, Ancient Visitors, and Other Strange Sites in North America【電子書籍】[ Kenneth L. Feder ]

＜p＞Does evidence show that Native Americas residing in Utah a thousand years ago lived among dinosaurs, depicting those creatures in their rock art? Did some of those same ancient Americans also encounter visitors from other planets, painting images of space-suited aliens on canyon walls? Have archaeologists discovered evidence that members of the Lost Tribes of Israel visited ancient America, leaving their mark by engraving the Ten Commandments in Hebrew on rocks in New Mexico? And Ohio? Is there archaeological evidence of ancient Celtic visitors to the New World in the form of messages etched in stone, megalithic monuments, and even the remnants of the villages in which they lived? Are American archaeologists covering up the remains of lost cities deeply ensconced in a secret cave in Arizona and in a subterranean chamber in Missouri? Finally, have archaeologists discovered the far western outpost of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, not in Egypt or even Africa, but in, of all places, California?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Those questions and more are answered by archaeologist Ken Feder in Archaeological Oddities: A Field Guide to Forty Claims of Lost Civilizations, Ancient Visitors, and Other Strange Sites in North Americathat the above listed questions and others addressed in his book represent the equivalent of “fake news” about America’s ancient past. The forty sites he highlights are, in fact, fascinating and fun places to visit. Feder’s guide provides an entertaining summary of those forty sites along with the practical information you’ll need to visit them.

【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！】Visitors to Verona Lovers, Gentlemen and Adventurers【電子書籍】[ Caroline Webb ]

＜p＞Even before the advent of mass tourism, Verona was a popular destination for travellers, including those undertaking the popular 'Grand Tour' across Europe. In this book, Caroline Webb compares the experiences of travellers from the era of Shakespeare to the years following the incorporation of the Veneto into the new kingdom of Italy in 1866. She considers their reasons for visiting Verona as well as their experiences and expectations once they arrived. The majority of English visitors between 1670 and 1760 were young members of the aristocracy, accompanied by tutors, who arrived on their way to or from Rome, as part of a 'Grand Tour' intended to 'finish' their classical education. With the Industrial Revolution in the second half of the eighteenth century, and the resultant increasing wealth of the upper middle classes, the number of visitors to Verona increased although this tourism was derailed once Napoleon invaded Italy in the late 1790s. After 1815 and the allied victory at Waterloo there was a new flood of visitors, previously deprived of the opportunity of continental travel during the Napoleonic wars.＜br /＞ As the nineteenth century progressed, especially with the arrival of the railway, an increasing number of visitors appeared from across Europe and even from across the Atlantic, keen to explore the fabled city of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In comparing a myriad of varied accounts, this book provides an unrivalled perspective on the history of one of Italy's most seductive cities.＜/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！】Memory and Medieval Tomb【電子書籍】

＜p＞This title was first published in 2000: Reverent memorial for the dead was the inspiration for the production of a significant category of artworks during the Middle Ages - artworks aimed as much at the laity as at the clergy, and intended to maintain, symbolically, the presence of the dead. Memoria, the term that describes the formal, liturgical memory of the dead, also includes artworks intended to house and honour the deceased. This book explores the ways in which medieval Christians sought to memorialize the deceased: with tombs, cenotaphs, altars and other furnishings connected to a real or symbolic burial site. A dozen essays analyze strategies for commemoration from the 4th to the 15th century: the means by which human memory could be activated or manipulated through the interaction between monuments, their setting, and the visitor. Building upon from the growing body of literature on memory in the Middle Ages, the collection focuses on the tomb monument and its context as a complex to define what is to be remembered, to fix memory, and to facilitate recollection. Remembering depended upon the emotionally charged interaction between the visitor, the funerary monument, strategically placed images or inscriptions, the liturgy and its participants. Commemorative artworks may consolidate social bonds as well as individual memory, as put forth in this volume. Parallels are drawn between mnemonic devices utilized in the Middle Ages, the design of monuments and contemporary scientific research in cognitive neuropsychology. The papers were originally presented at the 1994 meetings of the College Art Association and the International Congresses of Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, and the University of Leeds, England, in 1995.＜/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！】The Global Woman’s Impact on E-Commerce Confidence and Communication Clashes with Western Corporations【電子書籍】[ Chizoma C. Nosiri ]

＜p＞Imagine the irritations of getting unsatisfying service with Western corporations whose products are sold strictly online. Perhaps it was another Amazon.com order that was never delivered to a residence in New Delhi, India, an uncertain TransUnion error made on the credit of an individual in Hong Kong, or a lack of action by Citibank to refund a Nigerian customer’s account. Receiving incompetent management feedback or the corporate’s reluctance to resolve minor customers’ issues are unlimited in the United States and even greatly unconstrained in the global environment. These consumer conflicts elevated to the global environment become massive, and are destructive to the global consumer domain structure of the Global Female consumer, her online engagement behavior and confidence, and online companies branding on a global level. Such Non-Western consumer and corporate conflict interactions can create a catastrophe of cultural wars and clashes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book discusses the cross-cultural study, which determines if Western corporations’ computer-mediated-communication complaint of a select group of global female consumer, who were born, raised, and live in China, Nigeria, and India, is affected by their self-confidence, cultural norms, or language barriers. The book follows a scholarly study which determined the factors that make Western corporations’ online tools unfavorable to the select group of global females when it comes to expressing their concerns as opposed to complaining and addressing conflict issues with the local native businesses in their country. In addition, the study explored the difference in her confidence level and behavior during a complaint using corporate computer-mediated-communication tools contrasted with social media platforms (i.e. Facebook or Twitter). This book show cases the global female consumer’s experience to explore whether she is welcomed, treated as a family member, friend, guest, visitor or stranger during her online shopping. Since her perspective and complaint is an important component to Western corporations’ global success this book illustrates how her voice and money matters.＜/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！】Passage to America Celebrated European Visitors in Search of the American Adventure【電子書籍】[ Gloria De?k ]

＜p＞America was a source of fascination to Europeans arriving there during the course of the nineteenth century. At first glance, the New World was very similar to the societies they left behind in their native countries, but in many aspects of politics, culture and society, the American experience was vastly different - almost unrecognisably so - from Old World Europe. Europeans were astounded that America could survive without a monarch, a standing army and the hierarchical society which still dominated Europe. Some travellers, such as the actress Fanny Kemble, were truly convinced America would eventually revert to a monarchy; others, such as Frances Wright and even Oscar Wilde, took their opinions further, and attempted to fix aspects of America - described in 1827 by the young Scottish captain Basil Hall, as 'one of England's "occasional failures"'. Many prominent visitors to the United States recorded their responses to this emerging society in their diaries, letters and journals; and many of them, like the fulminating Frances Trollope, were brutally and offensively honest in their accounts of the New World.＜br /＞ They provide an insight into an America which is barely recognizable today whilst their writings set down a diverse and lively assortment of personal travel accounts. This book compares the impressions of a group of discerning and prominent Europeans from the cultural sphere - from the writers Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray and Oscar Wilde to luminaries of music and theatre such as Tchaikovsky and Fanny Kemble. Their reactions to the New World are as revealing of the European and American worlds as they are colourful and varied, providing a unique insight into the experiences of nineteenth century travelers to 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。

It is true that Oxford is a world to itself, a village where everyone stops in the Broad or the High to exchange local gossip...

But encounters in the street are as likely to grapplings with politics (local, national and international) as exchanges about a point of scholarly detail...

【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！】The Archaeology of Mediterranean Placemaking Butrint and the Global Heritage Industry【電子書籍】[ Dr Richard Hodges ]

＜p＞Butrint has been one of the largest archaeological projects in the Mediterranean over the last two decades. Major excavations and a multi-volume series of accompanying scientific publications have made this a key site for our developing understanding of the Roman and Medieval Mediterranean. Through this set of interwoven reflections about the archaeology and cultural heritage history of his twenty-year odyssey in south-west Albania, Richard Hodges considers how the Butrint Foundation protected and enhanced Butrint's spirit of place for future generations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Hodges reviews Virgil's long influence on Butrint and how its topographic archaeology has now helped to invent a new narrative and identity. He then describes the struggle of placemaking in Albania during the early post-communist era, and finally asks, in the light of the Butrint Foundation's experience, who matters in the shaping of a place ? international regulations, the nation, the archaeologist, the visitor, the local community or some combination of all of these stakeholders? With appropriate maps and photographs, this book aims to offer an unusual but important new direction for archaeology in the Mediterranean. It should be essential reading for archaeologists, classical historians, medievalists, cultural heritage specialists, tourism specialists as well as those interested in the Mediterranean's past and future.＜/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！】Interstellar The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars【電子書籍】[ Avi Loeb ]

＜p＞＜strong＞“The world's leading alien hunter”＜/strong＞ ー＜em＞＜strong＞New York Times Magazine＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞From acclaimed Harvard astrophysicist and bestselling author of ＜em＞Extraterrestrial＜/em＞ comes a mind-expanding new book on space exploration explaining why becoming an interstellar species is imperative for humanity’s survival and detailing a game plan for how we can settle among the stars.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestseller ＜em＞Extraterrestrial,＜/em＞ Avi Loeb, the longest serving Chair of Harvard’s Astronomy Department,presented a theory thatshook the scientific community: our solar system, Loeb claimed, had likely been visited by a piece of advanced alien technology from a distant star. This provocative and persuasive argument opened millions of minds internationally to the vast possibilities of cosmology and the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth. But a crucial question remained: now that we are aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life, what do we do next? How do we prepare ourselves for interaction with interstellar extraterrestrial civilization? How can our species become interstellar?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now Loeb tackles these questions in a revelatory, powerful call to arms that reimagines the idea of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Dismantling our science-fiction fueled visions of a human and alien life encounter, ＜em＞Interstellar＜/em＞ provides a realistic and practical blueprint for how first contact might actually occur, resetting our cultural understanding and expectation of what it means to identify an extraterrestrial object. From awe-inspiring searches for extraterrestrial technology, to the heated debate surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), Loeb provides a thrilling, front-row view of the monumental progress in science and technology currently preparing us for contact. He also lays out the profound implications of becomingーor not becomingーinterstellar; in an urgent, eloquent appeal for more proactive engagement with the world beyond ours, he powerfully contends why we must seek out other life forms, and in the process, choose who and what we are within the universe.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Combining cutting edge science, physics, and philosophy, ＜em＞Interstellar＜/em＞ revolutionizes the approach to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) and our preparation for its discovery. In this eye-opening, necessary look at our future, Avi Loeb artfully and expertly raises some of the most important questions facing us as humans, and proves, once again, that scientific curiosity is the key to our survival.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Interstellar＜/em＞, Loeb provides a roadmap for the future of humanity:＜/p＞ ＜ul＞ ＜li＞＜strong＞A New Search for Alien Technology:＜/strong＞ Go inside the Galileo Project, the groundbreaking scientific mission founded by Loeb to systematically search for evidence of extraterrestrial technological signatures in our sky.＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜strong＞Interstellar Archaeology:＜/strong＞ Discover why the next great discovery may not come from a telescope, but from recovering fragments of interstellar meteorsーthe first of which may already be resting on the floor of the Pacific Ocean.＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜strong＞The ‘Oumuamua Enigma:＜/strong＞ Revisit the data from our solar system’s first known interstellar visitor and understand the compelling scientific argument for why it may have been an artifact from another civilization.＜/li＞ ＜li＞＜strong＞The Cosmic Ladder of Civilizations:＜/strong＞ Learn Loeb’s new classification for cosmic cultures and confront the urgent question of how humanity can ascend from a planet-endangering species to one ready to settle the stars.＜/li＞ ＜/ul＞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！】How to Speak Brit The Quintessential Guide to the King's English, Cockney Slang, and Other Flummoxing British Phrases【電子書籍】[ Christopher J. Moore ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The quintessential A to Z guide to British Englishーperfect for every egghead and bluestocking looking to conquer the language barrier＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Oscar Wilde once said the Brits have "everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language."＜/p＞ ＜p＞Any visitor to Old Blighty can sympathize with Mr. Wilde. After all, even fluent English speakers can be at sixes and sevens when told to pick up the "dog and bone" or "head to the loo," so they can "spend a penny." Wherever did these peculiar expressions come from?＜/p＞ ＜p＞British author Christopher J. Moore made a name for himself on this side of the pond with the sleeper success of his previous book, ＜em＞In Other Words＜/em＞. Now, Moore draws on history, literature, pop culture, and his own heritage to explore the phrases that most embody the British character. He traces the linguistic influence of writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare and Dickens to Wodehouse, and unravels the complexity Brits manage to imbue in seemingly innocuous phrases like "All right." Along the way, Moore reveals the uniquely British origins of some of the English language’s more curious sayings. For example: Who is Bob and how did he become your uncle? Why do we refer to powerless politicians as “lame ducks”? How did “posh” become such a stylish word?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part language guide, part cultural study, ＜em＞How to Speak Brit＜/em＞ is the perfect addition to every Anglophile’s library and an entertaining primer that will charm the linguistic-minded legions.＜/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。
