Philosophies of Multiculturalism
Beyond Liberalism
AvLuis Cordeiro-Rodrigues,Marko Simendic
Häftad, Engelska, 2019
737 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This edited collection offers a comparative approach to the topic of multiculturalism, including different authors with contrasting arguments from different philosophical traditions and ideologies. It puts together perspectives that have been largely neglected as valid normative ways to address the political and moral questions that arise from the coexistence of different cultures in the same geographical space. The essays in this volume cover both historical perspectives, taking in the work of Hobbes, Tocqueville and Nietzsche among others, and contemporary Eastern and Western approaches, including Marxism, anarchism, Islam, Daoism, Indian and African philosophies.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume, which gathers contributions presented at the annual conferences of l'Association pour le développement de l'histoire culturelle (ADHC), questions the subjects and boundaries of cultural history in France – with regard to neighboring approaches such as cultural studies, media studies, and gender studies – to elaborate a "social history of representations." Historians, philosophers and sociologists address a large variety of topics and methodological proposals. Definitions, objects and actors, memories and cultural transfers: this book depicts the major questions that underlie the historical debate at the beginning of the 21st century.
New Perspectives on Jewish Cultural History
Boundaries, Experiences, and Sensemaking
AvMaja Gildin Zuckerman,Jakob Egholm Feldt
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
2 493 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book presents original studies of how a cultural concept of Jewishness and a coherent Jewish history came to make sense in the experiences of people entangled in different historical situations. Instead of searching for the inconsistencies, discontinuities, or ruptures of dominant grand historical narratives of Jewish cultural history, this book unfolds situations and events, where Jewishness and a coherent Jewish history became useful, meaningful, and acted upon as a site of causal explanations. Inspired by classical American pragmatism and more recent French pragmatism, we present a new perspective on Jewish cultural history in which the experiences, problems, and actions of people are at the center of reconstructions of historical causalities and projections of future horizons. The book shows how boundaries between Jewish and non-Jewish are not a priori given but are instead repeatedly experienced in a variety of situations and then acted upon as matters of facts. In different ways and on different scales, these studies show how people's experiences of Jewishness perpetually probe, test, and shape the boundaries between what is Jewish and non-Jewish, and that these boundaries shape the spatiotemporal linkages that we call history.
Reconstructing Minds and Landscapes
Silent Post-War Memory in the Margins of History
AvMarja Tuominen,T. G. Ashplantm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
2 493 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Mental and material reconstruction was an ongoing process after World War II, and it still is. This volume combines a detailed treatment of post-war cultural reconstruction in Finnish Lapland – a region on the geographical and historical margins of its nation-state – with comparative case studies of silent post-war memory from other European countries The contributors shed light on key aspects of cultural reconstruction generally: disruptions of national narratives, difficulties of post-war cultural demobilisation, sites of memory, visual narratives of post-war reconstruction, and manifestations of trans-generational experiences of cultural reconstruction. Exploration of the less conspicuous aspects of mental reconstruction reveals various forms of post-war silence and silencing which have halted or hindered different groups of people in their mental return to peace. Rather than focusing on the “executive level” of material reconstruction, the volume turns its gaze towards those who experienced the return to peace in the mental, societal, and historical margins: members of ethnic, religious, and cultural minorities, women, and children.The chapters draw on archival and other original sources, personal memories, autobiographical interpretations, and academic debate. The volume is relevant for scholars and advanced students in the fields of cultural history, art history, and cultural studies.Chapter 7 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Cultural Translation and Knowledge Transfer on Alternative Routes of Escape from Nazi Terror
Mediations Through Migrations
AvSusanne Korbel,Philipp Strobl
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
2 493 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The book investigates and compares the role of artistic and academic refugees from National Socialism acting as "cultural mediators" or "agents of knowledge" between their origin and host societies. By doing so, it locates itself at the intersection of the recently emerging field of the history of knowledge, transnational history, migration, exile, as well as cultural transfer studies. The case studies provided in this volume are of global scope, focusing on routes of escape and migration to Iceland, Italy, the Near East, Portugal and Shanghai, and South-, Central-, and North America. The chapters examine the hybrid ways refugees envisaged, managed, organized, and subsequently mediated their migrations. It focuses on how they dealt with their escape in their art and science. The chapters ask how the emigrants located themselves––did they associate with ethnic, religious, and/or cultural affiliations, specific social classes, or specific parts of society—and how such identifications were portrayed in their knowledge transfer and cultural translations. Building on such possible avenues for research, this volume aims to offer a global analysis of the multifarious processes not only of cultural translation and knowledge transfer affecting culture, sciences, networks, but also everyday life in different areas of the world.

Humour in the Arts
New Perspectives
AvVivienne Westbrook,Shun-liang Chao
Häftad, Engelska, 2020
783 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This collection demonstrates the usefulness of approaching texts—verbal, visual and aural—through a framework of humour. Contributors offer in-depth discussions of humour in the West within a wider cultural historical context to achieve a coherent, chronological sense of how humour proceeds from antiquity to modernity. Reading humorously reveals the complexity of certain aspects of texts that other reading approaches have so far failed to reveal. Humour in the Arts explores humour as a source of cultural formation that engages with ethical, political, and religious controversies whilst acquainting readers with a wide range of humorous structures and strategies used across Western cultures.
Excavating Modernity
Physical, Temporal and Psychological Strata in Literature, 1900-1930
AvEleanor Dobson,Gemma Banks
Häftad, Engelska, 2020
783 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book scrutinizes physical, temporal and psychological strata across early twentieth-century literature, focusing on geological and archaeological tropes and conceptions of the stratified psyche. The essays explore psychological perceptions, from practices of envisioning that mimic looking at a painting, photograph or projected light, to the comprehension of the palimpsestic complexities of language, memory and time. This collection is the first to see early twentieth-century physical, temporal and psychological strata interact across a range of canonical and popular authors, working in a variety of genres, from theatre to ghost stories, children’s literature to modernist magna opera.

Uisneach or the Center of Ireland
AvFrédéric Armao
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
2 056 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The hill of Uisneach lies almost exactly at the geographical center of Ireland. Remarkably, a fraction at least of the ancient Irish population was aware of that fact. There is no doubt that the place of Uisneach in Irish mythology, and more broadly speaking the Celtic world, was of utmost importance: Uisneach was – and probably still is – best defined as a sacred hill at the center of Ireland, possibly the sacred hill of the center of Ireland.Uisneach or the Center of Ireland explores the medieval documents connected with the hill and compares them with both archeological data and modern Irish folklore. In the early 21st century, a Fire Festival started being held on Uisneach in connection with the festival of Bealtaine, in early May, arguably in an attempt to echo more ancient traditions: the celebration was attended by Michael D. Higgins, the current president of Ireland, who lit the fire of Uisneach on 6 May 2017.This book argues that the symbolic significance of the hill has echoed the evolution of Irish society through time, be it in political, spiritual and religious terms or, perhaps more accurately, in terms of identity and Irishness. It is relevant for scholars and advanced students in the fields of cultural history, Irish history and cultural studies.

Practices of Reunification
The Continuation of Refugee Life After 1945
AvSusanne Korbel,Philipp Strobl
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
2 493 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The volume explores the role of refugees and displaced persons (DPs) in Europe after 1945. It expands conventional narratives about post-National Socialist societies, which are characterized by victim myths, narratives of Trümmerfrauen (rubble women), and the reconstruction of supposedly homogeneous societies.Using analyses informed by new approaches in cultural studies and digital humanities, the authors enhance studies of refugees and DPs’ ways of living and their interactions with their surrounding societies. Relying on microhistorical perspectives, the case studies focus on both post-National Socialist societies and exile communities and thus contribute to a better understanding of everyday life. The book locates itself at the intersection of Migration Studies, Gender Studies, Emotion Studies, and the History of Knowledge and focuses on the following key questions: How did family members reconnect with individuals liberated from concentration camps? How did they communicate about the choice of new places to live? How did exile communities reorganize themselves after the end of the war?This volume explores diverse experiences in the post-1945 world that have been shaping not only the European societies but have also been influencing our present legal and societal understandings and interpretations on a global scale.
Fat Bodies in Early Modern Europe
AvHolly Fletcher,Christine Ottm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
2 784 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book is the first to examine understandings and experiences of fatness in early modern Europe (c. 1450–1700), uncovering attitudes towards fat bodies across England, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain through interdisciplinary analysis.Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of how early modern Europeans perceived and experienced fat bodies through historically specific contexts rather than modern assumptions. The book delivers this through interdisciplinary scholarship combining history, art history, and literary studies to analyse sources across five major European regions. This approach reveals both continuities and contradictions in attitudes towards corpulence, examining medical, artistic, and literary perspectives within their proper historical frameworks. By considering early modern experiences on their own terms and relating them to period-specific conceptions of embodiment, readers will develop nuanced appreciation for how fatness was understood before modern medical and social constructs emerged.This book is written for students and scholars of the early modern period, particularly those studying European history, cultural history, and the history of the body. It will also appeal to researchers in fat studies seeking historical perspectives and non-specialists interested in historical attitudes towards bodies and embodiment.
