However, most rarely created works regarded as practical instruments of societal transformation. Vaingurt claims that the artists` fusion of technology and aesthetics prevented their creations from being conscripted into the arsenal of political hegemony.

Описание: In the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, legions of English citizens headed north. Why and how did Scotland, once avoided by travelers, become a popular site for English tourists? Katherine Haldane Grenier uses published and unpublished travel accounts, guidebooks, and the popular press to examine the evolution of a false view of Scotland as untouched by nineteenth-century transformations.

Описание: The mind often wonders, 'what is the meaning of life?' The Holy Quran answers, "He, who created death and life that He may test you to see] which of you is best in conduct. And He is the Almighty, the All-forgiving." Life was created so that the community of man may strive to achieve excellence. And it is through the triumph of justice over oppression and of virtue over vice that such excellence can be attained.Because this is the overarching purpose of creation, God has given mankind the means to usher in this triumph of justice and virtue - "Certainly We sent Our apostles with manifest proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, so that mankind may maintain justice." God has given us our honored prophets, our holy scriptures, and our revered Immaculate Leaders as means of guidance as we strive towards that goal. And one day, by God's grace, we will achieve that goal and fulfill God's promise that "Certainly We wrote in the Psalms after the Torah: Indeed Our righteous servants shall inherit the earth."This book is about the man who is chosen to usher in this promise of justice and virtue - our Twelfth Immaculate Leader, the Awaited Savior - the Mahdi.
Sayyid Fadl, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, led a unique life--one that spanned much of the nineteenth century and connected India, Arabia, and the Ottoman Empire. For God or Empire tells his story, part biography and part global history, as his life and legacy afford a singular view on historical shifts of power and sovereignty, religion and politics.
Wilson Chacko Jacob recasts the genealogy of modern sovereignty through the encounter between Islam and empire-states in the Indian Ocean world. Fadl's travels in worlds seen and unseen made for a life that was both unsettled and unsettling. And through his life, at least two forms of sovereignty--God and empire--become apparent in intersecting global contexts of religion and modern state formation. While these changes are typically explained in terms of secularization of the state and the birth of rational modern man, the life and afterlives of Sayyid Fadl--which takes us from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Indian Ocean worlds to twenty-first century cyberspace--offer a more open-ended global history of sovereignty and a more capacious conception of life.
