Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - As with all general history, Islamic history is conventionally approached in terms of evolutionary trends and continuities. This study in historical sociology of the millennial or Mahdist movements and their long-term impact, in contrast, focuses on abrupt discontinuities in the form of revolutions as apocalyptic breaks, and on the reaction of the ruling authorities as counter-revolution aiming at routinizing these charismatic irruptions into history by absorbing their impact within the prevalent structure of authorities, and thereby re-establishing the continuity that is taken for granted by future historians. For the framework of this analysis of the dynamics of revolution, and reaction within a single world region, it chooses the civilizational zone defined by its cultural unity as the Persianate world.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In Italy, anti-Protestantism became a significant theme in reactionary polemics during the Risorgimento and the post-unification period of the 19th century. Although it waned around 1900, the anti-Protestant offensive resumed after the First World War. Between the early 1920s and the mid-1950s, the Catholic Church's hostility toward the Protestant presence and mission in Italy developed into a significant social and political phenomenon. It succeeded in influencing both the attitude of the Italian state and the legislation on religious freedom. Reconstructing Catholic anti-Protestantism, Paolo Zanini shows that attitudes toward Protestant denominations were among the elements of continuity between Fascism and the first decade of the post-war Republic. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Beholding Beauty: Sa?di of Shiraz and the Aesthetics of Desire in Medieval Persian Poetry explores the relationship between sexuality, politics, and spirituality in the lyrics of Sa?di Shirazi (d. 1292 CE), one of the most revered masters of classical Persian literature. Relying on a variety of sources, including unstudied manuscripts, Domenico Ingenito presents the so-called 'inimitable smoothness' of Sa?di's lyric style as a serene yet multifaceted window into the uncanny beauty of the world, the human body, and the realm of the unseen. The book constitutes the first attempt to study Sa'di's lyric meditations on beauty in the context of the major artistic, scientific and intellectual trends of his time. By charting unexplored connections between Islamic philosophy and mysticism, obscene verses and courtly ideals of love, Ingenito approaches Sa'di's literary genius from the perspective of sacred homoeroticism and the psychology of performative lyricism in their historical context.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Visibility in the transgender community and trans studies has increased in the last decade. Conversations around trans history and memory have often been focused on historical individuals or capturing descriptions of memorable events. There have been few conversations that look at how those histories are shared down and through the trans community. This book uses the events related to the Compton's Cafeteria Riots and the subsequent creation of the Trans Cultural District in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighbourhood as focal point as remembered through the eyes of six trans artists and activists and then expanding that reach into the archival and artistic practices across the US, Mexico, and Canada. Redefining trans practice and trans ethos can challenge, create, and reinterpret public memorialization. In doing so, notions what collective memory and public history are transform how we understand and envision the lived experiences trans people today.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This is the first book-length study on the relationship between cinema and the classical elements. It centres on earth, fire, water and air to offer new perspectives on the intersection of film and the nonhuman in a time of climate emergency. Mobilising a range of analytical frameworks, including early film theory, Indigenous epistemologies and environmental sciences, the essays in this collection trace the complex agencies of the elements as they intersect with the material properties of the cinematic image across fiction, animation, documentary and experimental film. In doing so, the book positions elemental cinema as a multifaceted process and experience that might encompass attempts to think with, alongside or even 'like' the elemental, all the while recognising the limitations of our anthropocentric systems of meaning.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The outbreak of Word War II in 1939 was a pivotal moment, particularly for East-Central and Eastern Europe. Its aftermath entrenched Europe in opposing ideological blocs, shaping Cold War divisions and fostering divergent war narratives. The collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1989 and the Soviet Union in 1991 unleashed nationalist reappraisals of history. The narratives of former communist regimes were replaced by perspectives emphasizing national suffering and resistance, often sidelining uncomfortable truths, such as complicity in the Holocaust. Today, memory politics remain contentious, particularly in the context of Russia's war against Ukraine, where competing WWII narratives reflect ongoing struggles over identity and historical interpretation. As a sequel to a previous publication, this second volume, comprising eleven chapters, builds upon and expands the first volume's exploration of WWII and Holocaust-related mnemonic culture and memory politics in post-socialist Europe.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The 'Escape to the Future' of the knowledge society, initiated in the 21st century, calls into question the thesis of a bright future for human/student and teacher-centred education.

An education whose humanistic values will become a stable signpost for the new generation in a world of developing new technologies, crises and challenges.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Normally, all laws within any given jurisdiction ought to conform to some 'higher' legal imperative called a 'constitution'. In modern times, constitutions are usually embedded in a formal document, and laws that fail to meet this standard are held to be 'unconstitutional' and adjudicated null and void. In former times, constitutions often resided in looser terms like 'natural law' and rested on extra-legal foundations such as consecrated customs or religious convictions. However, what happens if the constitution itself is offensive to some deeply ingrained norms within the prevailing culture Is it possible to override constitutions for failing to meet some elementary standards of decency or moral propriety In recent memory, critics reviled the Third Reich as a rogue regime in spite of the fact that it meticulously followed its own corrupt policies. Is it possible to maintain the idea that even constitutions must comply with some external standards Is such a possibility intellectually defensible Or must we accept the fact that no formal regime is full-proof against the looming threat of human depravity.
