Modernism to Realism on the Soviet Stage: Tairov-

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Worrall, Nick, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This is the first book to deal with the work of three important Soivet theatre directors - Alexander Tairov, Evgeni Vakhtangov and Nikolai OkHlopkov - who, although familiar names in the West, are not often the subjects of full-length studies. The present one therefore sets out to introduce their work to theatre specialists and non-specialists alike, analysing individual productions and placing them within the context of their time. The active working life of the three directors spans, in varying stages, the period of revolution and civil war with its accompanying radical artistic innovations; the conservative phase of socialist realism in the s and s; and the more flexible and creative artistic years of the late s and s. The book contains a number of photographs of the original productions as well as a chronology of theatrical and historical events. Worrall's study will be of interest to students and scholars of Russian studies and theatre history.

Resources & Population

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: MacFarlane, Alan / MacFarlane / Fortes, Meyer, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In many areas of the world destruction of natural resources and the rapid growth of populaton are among the most important problems facing individuals and governments. This book, first published in , utilises the tools of social anthropology and population studies in an attempt to see some of the causes and consequences of populations growth and some of the effects of change on natural resources. It analyses a particular 'community' in the Annapurna range of the central Himalayas during this century, and investigates how the destruction of forests and the growth of settled rice cultivation have occurred, and some of the consequences. The Gurungs are famous as recruits to the Gurkha regiments of the British and Indian armies, and the demographic and economic effects of foreign mercenary labour are among the topics examined.

Modernity - An Ethnographic Approach: Dualism and Mass

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miller, Daniel, PUBLISHER: Berg Publishers, From cultural studies, sociology, media studies, gender studies and elsewhere there have been a spate of books recently which have attempted to characterize the state of modernity. Many of these have also argued that what is required is an ethnographic work to determine how far these supposed trends actually apply to a given population. This book explicitly accepts this challenge and, in so doing, demonstrates the potential of modern anthropology studies. It starts by summarizing some debates on modernity and then argues that the Caribbean island of Trinidad is particularly apt for such a study given the origins of its population in slavery and indentured labour, both forms of extreme social rupture.The particular focus of this book is on mass consumption and the way goods and imported images such as soap opera have been used to express and develop a number of key contradictions of modernity. It will be of interest to anthropologists looking for a new potential for the discipline, as well as students in other fields who will be interested in the new contribution of anthropology to their debates.

Urban Experiences of Gender Generations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mapetlam, Matseliso M. / Schyter, Ann, PUBLISHER: Institute of Southern African Studies, This study is situated in the changing socio-economic, political and intellectual realities of gender and generational inequalities within a rapidly urbanising world; and in relation to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, and the Habitat Agenda. The issues are particularly pertinent in urban settings, where resource ownership issues are acute, and social structures are undergoing rapid change. Experiences are given of everyday urban living based on mainly primary sources. The twelve articles arise from an international conference closing the GRUPHEL research programme - Gender Research on Urbanisation, Planning, Housing and Everyday Life. The articles cover gender and urban studies in different countries: Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia; and the study is multidisciplinary with contributions from sociologists, lawyers, architects, public administrators, geographers and activities. Matseliso M. Maptela is a Senior Research Fellow, and Acting Director of the Institute of Southern African Studies, National University of Lesotho.

American Foreign Environmental Policy and the Power of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hopgood, Stephen, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In an increasingly interdependent world, one marked by growing numbers of non-governmental organizations and international institutions, American Foreign Environmental Policy presents a powerful argument for the continued relevance of the state to our understanding of international relations. Drawing on detailed primary research, the author studies the key role central state officials have played in formulating American foreign environmental policy, and concludes that claims for the diminishing domestic-international divide and the erosion of state sovereignty are overstated. This study makes a substantial contribution to International Relations theory, while also offering a wealth of original and empirical data that will interest all who work in the area of environmental studies.

Polycrystalline Metal and Magnetic Thin Films : Volume

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Clemens, B. M. / Gignac, L. / MacLaren, J. M., PUBLISHER: Materials Research Society, The unprecedented growth in the semiconductor, electronics, and storage industries is the result of continued miniaturization of circuit devices, increases in chip functionality, and increased storage capacity and performance, along with a decrease in per-function cost. Hardware shrinkage has taken place both laterally and vertically, leading to similar decreases in the dimensions of interconnection wires, contact metallization, and magnetic storage footprints. The increasingly important role of surfaces, interfaces, defects, and impurities has raised serious materials questions about how to control the properties of polycrystalline thin films used in applications requiring tight performance tolerances. This is especially true as the dimensions of these films shrink to levels where 100 or less atomic layers are routinely being used to achieve critical materials properties (contact resistance, diffusion barriers, magnetic moments, etc.). The understanding of poly-crystalline film structures during growth and the evolution of various film properties with time and temperature is critical to the successful design and development of smaller devices. This volume focuses on the directions taken to understand and control the properties of polycrystalline materials.

Forest Tourism and Recreation: Case Studies in Environmental

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Font, X. / Tribe, J. / Font, Xavier, PUBLISHER: CABI Publishing, Tourism and recreation are set to play an increasing role in the future of forests and woodlands. The increasing demand for outdoor recreation and tourism can be partly catered for in woodlands, since these can be used to screen otherwise conflicitng uses and absorb large numbers of visitors. These recreational uses also drive up the use-value of forests that are visited. At the same time outdoor recreation has the potential to bring extra income to forest owners. This can help offset the extra costs of sustainable timber production and forest conservation. But the use of forests for tourism brings added environmental pressures and requires management responses to ensure the sustainability of this relationship. This book addresses 16 international examples of case studies and concepts and looks at the problems, benefits and ideas relating to tourism and recreation within the context of a forest environment.

Weird Science: A Conflatation of Art and Science

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hofmann, Irene / Grabner, Michelle / Wittkopp, Gregory, PUBLISHER: Cranbrook Art Museum, Art meets science -- and engages the recent controversies of science studies -- in work by contemporary artists Mark Dion, Gregory Green, Margaret Honda, and Andrea Zittel. Using scientific language, strategies and protocols, each of these projects focuses on a different area of exploration (natural science, nuclear physics, zoology, and genetic engineering), and investigates the influence, authority, and effects of science. David Wilson, Director of the Museum of Jurassic Technology, writes on the 17th century scholar, inventor, curator, and early progenitor of 'weird science', Athanasius Kircher; exhibition curator Irene Hofmann places these works into the context of each artist's career.
