Описание:

How have Westerners seen the People's Republic of China over the years? The question raises many important issues, which this book aims to present, analyze and explain. The basic conclusion is that Western perspectives are somewhat more complex than simply viewing China's realities. Involved also are politics and power relations, trends in journalism and scholarship, as well as individual and group personalities and psychologies.

Based on extensive personal experiences in China dating back to 1964 and wide-ranging travel in Tibet and ethnic regions since the 1980s, the author attempts to distinguish trends in different Western countries. However, most of the material will concern the United States, which has been the dominant contributor to Western perspectives during the whole period of concern to this book.

The perspectives are taken up by topic, including politics, economy, society, and ethnic minorities. Inherent in each topic is the way cultures see and react towards each other. Images and perspectives can affect policy, and have done so many times in the past, which adds to the importance of this book. It also takes up questions of the sources of Western perspectives, both in terms of direct sources, such as newspapers, television or the internet, and deeper ones, such as social values and temperament.

Описание: While the body appears in almost all cultural discourses, it is nowhere as visible as in dance. This book captures the resurgence of the dancing body in the second half of the twentieth century by introducing students to the key phenomenological, kinaesthetic and psychological concepts relevant to both theatre and dance studies.

Описание: Libya has a short, volatile history. Foreignersplayed a significant role in shaping Libya’s institutions and policies, and thisbook explores longer term trends in the relations between Libya and the West, placing current developments in their historical context. Throughout history, the globe’s mostpowerful actors have regarded Libya as an outlier state of little significance.Libya belonged neither here nor there and never fell under the full protectionof any significant global or regional powerhouse. Libya’s weak nationalidentity, its weak institutions and its peripheral position have made itvulnerable to external influences and interventions. As a result, Libyarepeatedly falls prey to foreign powers wanting to flex their muscles. As thisbook narrates, this was the case in 1911, in 2011 and several times in between.
