Middle Easterners today are caught between memories of the past and frustrated hopes for the future They struggle to find solutions to crises of economic stagnation, political gridlock, and cultural identity In recent decades Islam has become central to this struggle, and almost every issue involves fierce, sometimes violent debates over the озьяп role of religion in public life R Stephen Humphreys's new book presents a much-needed and thoughtful analysis of Islam's place in today's Middle East In clear, accessible language, he integrates the medieval and modern history of the region to show how the sacred and secular are tightly interwoven in its political and intellectual life Humphreys discusses the conflicts over power and resources that engage Middle Eastern politicians and looks at the major ideologies that have shaped these conflicts He focuses on the impact of Islam on public life and examines Muslim ways of thinking about the "secular" versus the "religious " What values does Islam put intoplay? What challenges does it pose to "ordinary" politics? What resources does it bring to the struggle for social justice? Humphreys recognizes the Western tendency to dismiss Middle Eastern politics as an incoherent tale of violence and fanaticism,and his book is especially valuable for its analysis of the deeper issues behind the headlines These issues include the region's apparent inability to evolve democratic institutions, conflicts rooted in the peace settlements after World War I, and the unresolved debates over which cultural and moral values should drive Middle Eastern policy Between Memory and Desire reminds us that Middle Easterners remember the past in specific ways: the shame of the colonial era; the disappointments since independence; and the glory of the Middle Ages, when Muslim achievements were respected throughout the world Even if these memories are only partially true, in defining the past, they also define what the future ought to be.  Enco   Мвкд   Соде   AmarISBN 0520229185.

Interweaving social, political, environmental, economic, and popular history, John Alexander Williams chronicles four and a half centuries of the Appalachian past Along the way, he explores Appalachia's long-contested boundaries and the numerous, often contradictory images that have shaped perceptions of the region as both the essence озэав of America and a place apart Williams begins his story in the colonial era and describes the half-century of bloody warfare as migrants from Europe and their American-born offspring fought and eventually displaced Appalachia's Native American inhabitants He depicts the evolution of a backwoods farm-and-forest society, its divided and unhappy fate during the Civil War, and the emergence of a new industrial order as railroads, towns, and extractive industries penetrated deeper and deeper into the mountains Finally, he considers Appalachia's fate in the twentieth century, when it became the first American region to suffer widespread deindustrialization, and examines thepartial renewal created by federal intervention and a small but significant wave of in-migration Throughout the book, a wide range of Appalachian voices enlivens the analysis and reminds us of the importance of storytelling in the ways the people of Appalachia define themselves and their region.  RHZN   Opti   DrBr   LomoISBN 0807853682.

A modern edition on the 150th anniversary of the Manifesto The Communist Manifesto, drafted on the eve of the 1848 revolutions, is the most brilliant and incisive political text ever written; a work of great literary power as well as historical insight Eric Hobsbawm, whose writing has brilliantly described the century and a half of history that озьэь has been both shaped and illuminated by the Manifesto, presents it here As the "age of extremes" draws to an end and capitalism seems everywhere to be triumphant, as it did one hundred and fifty years ago, Eric Hobsbawm critically appraises a work which, he argues, is now more timely than ever Hobsbawm notes the curious fact that the Manifesto remained a subterranean text for many decades and did not circulateon a mass scale, or achieve a canonical status, until comparatively recently He argues that only the complete unfolding of capitalism on a global scale in recent times allows us to take the full measure of Marx and Engels's truly astounding mixture of passion, science and poetry.  Sifr   Fisk   рабо   ЮсупISBN 0451527100.

Редактор: Peter Coffey Latin America's experience with regional economic integration has been only slightly shorter than that of Europe In fact, the first attempt at integration started as early as 1960, with the creation of LAFTA - the Latin American Free Trade Area (subsequently replaced by LAIA - the Latin American Integration Association) озэар LAFTA, composed of 11 countries, sought, unsuccessfully, to create a free trade area in 12 years In 1969, the Andean pact, which sought, also unsuccessfully, to create a sub-regional free trade area, was set up Recently the Presidents of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay signed the Treaty of Asuncion aimed at creating a common market as from 1st January, 1995 This common market, MERCOSUR, will be completed by 2006 In comparison with the earlier and unsuccessful attempts at integration, and despite challenges and problems, both internal and external, MERCOSUR is working, and trade between the member States is increasing Furthermore, as with the case of the European Union (EU), serious attempts (notably between Argentina and Brazil) are being made to co-ordinate economic and monetary policies The most important evidence of these moves is the introduction of hard currencies, the reduction in the size of the public sector and the privatization of State assets These are clearly exciting times for Latin American integration In this book, the first in a new series of books on International Economic Integration, the authors examine the experience of MERCOSUR in the Latin American integration progress After an analysis of the history of the moves towards integration in South America, the case of each Member State and the Associate Country is examined and perspectives for the future are assessed 1 edition.  цвет   Осип   Para   1815Издательство: Springer, 1998 г Мягкая обложка, 372 стр ISBN 079238153X Язык: Английский.

Book DescriptionArt history, aesthetics, and visual studies today find themselves in contested new philosophical and institutional circumstances This fascinating and challenging volume explores the connections and differences among these three methods of investigating visual representation What are the dominant aesthetic assumptions озэаъ underlying art historical inquiry? How have these assumptions been challenged by visual studies? Are questions of quality, form, content, meaning, and spectatorship culturally specific? Can we still define the parameters of what should properly constitute the objects of the history of art? Fifteen distinguished scholars answer these and other questions, critically examining the relationships among these three scholarly fields from their founding moments through their contemporary practices.  Щерб   увед   серт   Fran2003 г 292 стр ISBN 0300097891.

Book DescriptionWhere do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? These questions were posed by Paul Gauguin in a famous canvas painted in Tahiti that heralded the beginning of the modernist era But they are also the questions asked by modern prehistorians in their quest to reconstruct the human story In Figuring It Out, Colin Renfrew investigates озэбз the profound convergence between the two disciplines, drawing illuminating parallels between the way the modern artist seeks to understand the world by acting upon it, and the way the archaeologist seeks to understand the world through the material traces of such actions What does the "sapient paradox"the fact that 30,000 years passed before anatomically modern humans began to change their worldhave to tell us about the unfolding of the history of our species? Why do we now find Cycladic sculpture beautiful when, merely a century ago, such work would not have been thought suitable for display in an art museum? And how is it that,in the light of Marcel Duchamp's revolutionary gallery-based gestures, the prehistoric footsteps at Laetoli have been admitted as art too, albeit of an involuntary kind? Professor Renfrew uses these questions as a springboard for his examination of the history of the human condition, a subject that can only be properly understood, he argues, through the idea of process, of Homo sapiens' active material engagement with their world Central to his exploration is a group of leading contemporary artists,including Richard Long, Mark Dion, Antony Gormley, Eduardo Paolozzi, and David Mach, whose works are notable for just such an engagement with their physical surroundings Figuring It Out takes sculpture off the plinth and archaeology out of the trench, and situates the contemporary artist and archaeologist together at the center of an active endeavor to reevaluate what it is to be human 175 illustrations, 55 in color.  рабо   Herb   Руби   Соде2003 г 224 стр ISBN 0500051143.

Book DescriptionHow did the human brain evolve so that consciousness of art could develop? In The Psychology of Art and the Evolution of the Conscious Brain, Robert Solso describes how a consciousness that evolved for other purposes perceives and creates art Drawing on his earlier book Cognition and the Visual Arts and ten years of new findings озэбт in cognitive research (as well as new ideas in anthropology and art history), Solso shows that consciousness developed gradually, withdistinct components that evolved over time One of these components is an adaptive consciousness that includes the ability to imagine objects that are not present--an ability that allows us to create (and perceive) visual art Solso describes the neurological, perceptual, and cognitive sequence that occurs when we view art, and the often inexpressible effect that a work of art has on us He shows that there are two aspects to viewing art: nativistic perception--the synchronicity of eye and brain that transforms electromagnetic energy into neuro-chemical codes--which is "hard-wired" into the sensory-cognitive system; and directed perception, which incorporates personal history and knowledge--the entire set of our expectations and past experiences Both forms of perception are part of the appreciation of art, and both are products of the evolution of the conscious brain over hundreds of thousands of years Solso also investigates the related issues of neurological and artistic perception of the human face, the effects of visual illusions, and the use of perspective The many works of art used as examples are drawn from a wide range of artistic traditions, from ancient Egypt to Africa and India and the European Renaissance.  Wink   Шенк   Mari   Яков2005 г 294 стр ISBN 0262693321.

Book DescriptionIn Requiem for Communism Charity Scribner examines the politics of memory in postindustrial literature and art Writers and artists from Europe's second world have responded to the last socialist crisis with works that range from sober description to melancholic fixation This book is the first survey of this cultural field Today, озэви as the cultures of Eastern and Western Europe merge into the Infobahn of late capitalism, the second world is being left behind The European Union has pronounced obsolete the structures that once defined and linked industrial cities from Manchester to Karl-Marx-Stadt--the decaying factories and working collectives, the wasted ideals of state socialism and the welfare state Marxist exponents of global empire see this historical turn as an occasion to eulogize "the lightness and joy of being communist " But for many writers and artists on the left, the fallout of the last century's socialist crisis calls for an elegy This regret has prompted a proliferation of literary texts and artworks, as well as a boom in museum exhibitions that race to curate the wreckage of socialism and its industrial remnants The best of these works do not take us back to the factory Rather they look for somethingto take out of it: the intractable moments of solidarity among men and women that did not square with the market or the plan Requiem for Communism explores a selection of signal works They include John Berger?s narrative trilogy Into Their Labors; Documenta, the German platform for contemporary art and ideas; Krzysztof Kieslowski's cinema of mourning and Andrzej Wajda's filmed chronicles of the Solidarity movement; the art of Joseph Beuys and Rachel Whiteread; the novels of Christa Wolf; and Leslie Kaplan's antinostalgic memoir of women's material labor in France Sorting among the ruins of the second world, the critical minds of contemporary Europe aim to salvage both the remains of socialist ideals and the latent feminist potential that attended them.  tuchkas   Thin   реда   2005 г 320 стр ISBN 0262693275.
