Discourse and Dominion in the Fourteenth Century: Oral

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gellrich, Jesse M., PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, This wide-ranging study of language and cultural change in fourteenth-century England argues that the influence of oral tradition is much more important to the advance of literacy than previously supposed. In contrast to the view of orality and literacy as opposing forces, the book maintains that the power of language consists in displacement, the capacity of one channel of language to take the place of the other, to make the source disappear into the copy. Appreciating the interplay between oral and written language makes possible for the first time a way of understanding the high literate achievements of this century in relation to momentous developments in social and political life. Part I reasseses the "nominalism" of Ockham and the "realism" of Wyclif through discussions of their major treatises on language and government. Part II argues that the chronicle histories of this century are tied specifically to oral customs, and Part III shows how "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Chaucer's "Knight's Tale confront outright the displacement of language and dominion. Informed by recent discussions in critical theory, philosophy, and anthropology, the book offers a new synoptic view of fourteenth-century culture. As a critique of the social context of medieval literacy, it speaks directly to postmodern debate about the politics of historicism today.

Meike tubo di prolunga estensione Canon EOS M set 10mm 16mm

DG EXTENSION TUBE for micro DSLR is an accessory designed for use with micro DSLR lenses to shoot at close distance with higher magnification. Since the magnification changes according to the focal length of the lens, you can easily make close-ups shots of small subjects, insects or flowers. What is more, electronic signals between camera and lens are transfered through the electronic contacts of the DG EXTENSION TUBE for micro DSLR, enabling you to use all of the camera',s shooting modes. Depending on the shooting conditions, exposure compensation is required. PRECAUTIONS: When using the extension tubes alone (10mm or 16mm) or combination (10mm + 16mm = 26mm), the focal length should be greater than the length (10mm, 16mm, or 26mm) of the tube/tubes used. Suitable lenses are from standard to telephoto as well as macro (micro) lenses. Wide lenses are also usable, but depending on how the lens is combined with the tube, the distance between lens front and subject may become extremely close.

Buddhism Under the T'Ang

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Weinstein, Stanley, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Buddhism Under the Tang is a history of the Buddhist Church during the T'ang dynasty (), when Buddhist thought reached the pinnacle of its development. The three centuries spanned by the T'ang saw the formation of such important philosophical schools as the Fa-hsiang and Hua-yen, the consolidation of the T'ien-t'ai school, the introduction of Esoteric Buddhism from India, and the emergence of the Pure Land and Chan schools as the predominant expressions of Buddhist faith and practice. Professor Weinstein draws extensively upon both secular and ecclesiastical records to chronicle the vicissitudes of the Buddhist Church. The main focus is on the constantly changing relationship between the Buddhist Church and the T'ang state. Among the topics discussed in detail are the various attempts to curb the power of the Buddhist monasteries, the governance of the Buddhist clergy, the use of Buddhism to promote secular political ends, and the violent suppression of Buddhism by Emperor Wu () and its formal restoration under the last T'ang emperor.

Victorian Visions of Global Order: Empire and International

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bell, Duncan, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This wide-ranging and original study provides an insight into the climate of political thought during the lifespan of what was, at this time, the most powerful empire in history. A distinguished group of contributors explores the way in which thinkers in Britain theorised influential views about empire and international relations, exploring topics such as the evolution of international law; the ways in which the world was notionally divided into the 'civilised' and the 'barbarian'; the role of India in shaping visions of civil society; grandiose ideas about a global imperial state; the development of an array of radical critiques of empire; the varieties of liberal imperialism; and the rise and fall of free trade. Together, the chapters form an analysis of political thought in this context; both of the famous (Bentham, Mill, Marx, and Hobson) and of those who, whilst influential at the time, are all but forgotten today.

Radical Light

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bennett, Sylvia, PUBLISHER: Xlibris Corporation, This second book of the Real Magic series continues to explore the ancient Hermetic Teachings as "A mental art---the art of using consciousness itself as the tool for creating changes in consciousness." What does the Hermetic axiom, "as above; so below" really mean? The relationship between macrocosm (above) and microcosm (below) is the key to the Hermetic Teachings. Macrocosm refers to the Eternal Reality of Light; the realm of God. Microcosm is its reflection; a fragmentation of Light; the world of human existence and human ego. The core of the Hermetic Teachings for centuries has been focused on transforming the fragmented body of Light in human consciousness and uniting below with above.

Lost in Transition: Ethnographies of Everyday Life After

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ghodsee, Kristen Rogheh, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, "Lost in Transition" tells of ordinary lives upended by the collapse of communism. Through ethnographic essays and short stories based on her experiences with Eastern Europe between and , Kristen Ghodsee explains why it is that so many Eastern Europeans are nostalgic for the communist past. Ghodsee uses Bulgaria, the Eastern European nation where she has spent the most time, as a lens for exploring the broader transition from communism to democracy. She locates the growing nostalgia for the communist era in the disastrous, disorienting way that the transition was handled. The privatization process was contested and chaotic. A few well-connected foreigners and a new local class of oligarchs and criminals used the uncertainty of the transition process to take formerly state-owned assets for themselves. Ordinary people inevitably felt that they had been robbed. Many people lost their jobs just as the state social-support system disappeared. "Lost in Transition" portrays one of the most dramatic upheavals in modern history by describing the ways that it interrupted the rhythms of everyday lives, leaving confusion, frustration, and insecurity in its wake.

The Cave Painters: Probing the Mysteries of the World's

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Curtis, Gregory, PUBLISHER: Anchor Books, "The Cave Painters "is a vivid introduction to the spectacular cave paintings of France and Spain--the individuals who rediscovered them, theories about their origins, their splendor and mystery. Gergory Curtis makes us see the astonishing sophistication and power of the paintings and tells us what is known about their creators, the Cro-Magnon people of some years ago. He takes us through various theories--that the art was part of fertility or hunting rituals, or used for religious purposes, or was clan mythology--examining the ways interpretations have changed over time. Rich in detail, personalities, and history, "The Cave Painters "is above all permeated with awe for those distant humans who developed--perhaps for the first time--both the ability for abstract thought and a profound and beautiful way to express it.

Black Dahlia & White Rose: Stories

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Oates, Joyce Carol, PUBLISHER: Ecco, "A mesmerizing storyteller who seems almost unnaturally able to enter the tormented inner lives of her characters." --Denver Post Black Dahlia & White Rose is a brilliant collection of short fiction from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author Joyce Carol Oates, one of the most acclaimed writers of our time. These stores, at once lyrical and unsettling, shine with the author's trademark fascination with finding the unpredictable amidst the prosaic--from her imaginative recreation of friendship between two tragically doomed young women (Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Short), to the tale of an infidelity as deeply human as it is otherworldly. Black Dahlia & White Rose is a major offering from one of the most important artists in contemporary American literature; a superb collection that showcases Joyce Carol Oates's ferocious energy and darkly imaginative storytelling power.
