Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Demirsu offers an engaging comparative analysis of antagonistic social actors co-existing in Verona, a mid-sized city in northeast Italy renowned as the fortress of the far-right. This rich multidimensional analysis explores the intersection of space, identity, and social movements, by delving into the evolution of competing actors and their contending positions on identity and belonging as manifested through urban spaces. While the city and its touristic heritage are promoted for a transnational identitarian network, the protracted struggles of grassroots actors demonstrate democratic potentials for the bottom-up realization of inclusive and pluralist possibilities in hostile settings. The book traces the ways in which collective identity and collective action of social actors are shaped by their relationship to the space in which they operate, with ramifications for places beyond. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Wittgenstein's philosophy is directly related to the semiotic discipline to understand the signs, their processes, and signalling. Wittgenstein's nervous system was a semiotic model of control and power to make choices. To examine this critical question, Wittgenstein & Semiotics discusses the cultural climate of Wittgenstein to follow (or not) the classics, Saussure and Peirce. His word-play reflects historically how modern society transfigured the disasters of two World Wars into belief and action to meet with Wittgenstein's linguistic reaction. Wittgenstein's polemical style reflected the Zeitgeist of a new structure of writing philosophy based on the special force of semiotics. By coding and decoding one message to another, Wittgenstein saw how the exchanges of signs are carried out to renew cultural society. His linguistic sign functions in direct speech to interpret the structure of signs into the signification to the readers. Wittgenstein's use of semiotics contributed to the cultural technique of the growth of interdisciplinary fields in scholarly disciplines, both humanistic and scientific, which Wittgenstein's 'free' speech enjoys today. 198 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book is an invitation to follow the roads travelled by Croatian Romantics and to get a flavour of their multi-sensory experiences. The routes of travel were determined by the identity-related needs of creating a modern nation, language, literature and culture, with a specific person as the subject of experience and cognition. An analysis of the selected travelogues shows the intertwined collective, ideological and individual perspectives, the changing demands to which the travellers responded, and the altering way of perceiving the places visited. Croatian travel accounts, closely linked to cultural and political concepts, show the search for and the clash between the familiar and the foreign in Dalmatia, Bosnia, Croatia, in what is now Slovenia, and in northern Italy. 288 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The best way of being an artist is not to serve a particular art.' The film critic André Bazin believed artists create without boundaries in mind.

With essays by David Damrosch, Laura Marcus, Ignacio Sánchez Prado, Maria Dabija, and Michael Makarovsky among others, this volume establishes a much needed dialogue between the fields of world literature and world cinema.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the forcible transfer and assimilation of Armenian children during the Armenian Genocide, a systematic effort by the Young Turk regime to erase Armenian identity through Turkification and conversion to Islam. Targeted as part of a broader genocidal strategy, Armenian children were forcibly removed from their families and placed into Muslim households or state-run orphanages. Through a combination of government decrees and local initiatives, children's identities were systematically erased via religious conversion and changes to their personal data. This study analyses the legal, ideological, and sociopolitical structures that enabled this policy and explores the complex post-war attempts to recover these children in the aftermath of the Mudros Armistice. Drawing on historical, legal, religious, and sociological perspectives, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of child transfer as a core component of the Armenian Genocide.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Though the Dogon are well-described, their culture still holds surprises. One of these is the cycle of songs called baja ni, which is at the heart of their funerary rites. These songs are attributed to a historic author, a blind poet/prophet who roamed the area in the nineteenth century and left a huge heritage of songs and prophecies. This book gives the full text of one performance of this legacy. The lyrics cover a range of topics, from comments on historical events to philosophical musings about life and death, and from remembering the departed to celebrating the joys of being alive.…
