Описание:
The Jamaican writer and cultural theorist Sylvia Wynter is best known for her diverse writings that pull together insights from theories in history, literature, science, and black studies, to explore race, the legacy of colonialism, and representations of humanness. Sylvia Wynter: On Being Human as Praxis is a critical genealogy of Wynter’s work, highlighting her insights on how race, location, and time together inform what it means to be human. The contributors explore Wynter’s stunning reconceptualization of the human in relation to concepts of blackness, modernity, urban space, the Caribbean, science studies, migratory politics, and the interconnectedness of creative and theoretical resistances. The collection includes an extensive conversation between Sylvia Wynter and Katherine McKittrick that delineates Wynter’s engagement with writers such as Frantz Fanon, W. E. B. DuBois, and Aimé Césaire, among others; the interview also reveals the ever-extending range and power of Wynter’s intellectual project, and elucidates her attempts to rehistoricize humanness as praxis.
Описание: (This 3rd in a series of white papers, to clarify & defend the original Jesus of human history, not just the Jewish people, offers the social significance of a true Jesus entering into the world through human behavior. America, as the 2nd Israel in a global drama, not to decide the economic future of the world, but the moral & ethical system that will define the human instinct, as a citizen, as a patriot & as a parent, will be explored & extracted. The true moral opportunity provided by 4 words, reasoned by men, that defines the 1st civil right offered EVERY person under its umbrella, citizen or not, that defines all subsequent potential relationships, that offers the world the same experience, is explored for the opportunity & need that remains for its mastery by her citizens. This 3rd in the series offers the historical Jesus to the real world. This, as was done by Gandhi & King, offers a new vision for the world... in how we view ourselves, each other & the opportunity between us. For 6000 years humanity has struggled towards such true integration as to create a sustainable social civility. 2,000 years ago, the nation of Israel had a potential for greatness thrust upon them that was capable of changing the course of all human history. That opportunity slipped between their fingers. 2,000 years later, a nation was conceived that offered the same opportunity for greatness. But that potential greatness is not what is of interest to us. That missed opportunity 2,000 years ago, & the subsequent failure of Christian leadership to inherit the ONLY & PERFECT message Jesus offered, as the concluding thought on the history of moral social development, left open the door for Marxism. That failure was instituted on the basis of the failure of American founders to recognize the absolute obligation to ALL humanity they had, & as much to heaven as to one another. Slavery was the Achilles heel of Americas creation. Its founding failure allowed a birth & rooted such a morally deviant institutional state of mind & unearned entitlement, that even to this day, there has been no national repentance for the slavery that dragged & drags America down psychologically, as well as spiritually, to this day. That failure, of its people, to accept & immediately integrate that 1st Principle of America... allowed a complete failure of comprehension to reach the general populace as to the social significance of that 1st value, one specifically promoting true integration. Hence, today, racists wrongly imagine that their ideas of a morally justified hate are protected by the Constitution, specifically from the wording of the 1st Amendment, in the Bill of Rights. America, when properly understood... CONDEMNS SUCH VALUES... PERIOD. NO TRUE PATRIOT CAN OFFER SUPPORT FOR SUCH ANTI-SOCIAL VALUES. We must consent to allow ourselves to understand that the normal values that support slavery, racism, sexism, are the SAME values that link communist, fascist, Nazi & white Christian supremacist into one family of values. Under such an ideological assault, we must consent to integrate a genuinely human standard of rationality to guide our moral compass, given the universal social significance of relationships to human need & meaning. That will be the challenge we engage... & digest. Today... is now Judgment Day for Trumps white Christian Americans... but not America. She has remained faithful, carrying forward the wisdom of the ages without offering one change of word or intent. But today, in a social & moral climate that challenges all America promised & promises, a new kind of civics discussion is required, as a measure of our assumed, yet to be realized maturity... to restore what has been altered in our understanding, against all indicated wisdom & all evidence.)

Описание: In the fight for equality, early feminists often cited the infantilization of women and men of color as a method used to keep them out of power. Corinne T. Field argues that attaining adulthood - and the associated political rights, economic opportunities, and sexual power that come with it - became a common goal for both white and African American feminists between the American Revolution and the Civil War. The idea that black men and all women were more like children than adult white men proved difficult to overcome, however, and continued to serve as a foundation for racial and sexual inequality for generations.In detailing the connections between the struggle for equality and concepts of adulthood, Field provides an essential historical context for understanding the dilemmas black and white women still face in America today, from "glass ceilings" and debates over welfare dependency to a culture obsessed with youth and beauty. Drawn from a fascinating past, this book tells the history of how maturity, gender, and race collided, and how those affected came together to fight against injustice.

Описание:
As an example of convergence, the mobile phone--especially in the form of smartphone--is now ushering in new promises of seamlessness between engagement with technology and everyday common experiences. This seamlessness is not only about how one transitions between the worlds of the device and the physical environment but it also captures the transition and convergences between devices as well (i.e. laptop to smartphone, smartphone to tablet).
This volume argues, however, that these transitions are far from seamless. We see divisions between online and offline, virtual and actual, here and there, taking on different cartographies, emergent forms of seams. It is these seams that this volume acknowledges, challenges and explores--socially, culturally, technologically and historically--as we move to a deeper understanding of the role and impact of mobile communication's saturation throughout the world.

Автор: Waagen Название: Treasures of Art in Great Britain 4 Volume Set ISBN: 1108078907 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781108078900 Издательство: Cambridge Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 19483.00 р. Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ.
Описание: This four-volume work by Gustav Friedrich Waagen (1794–1868), edited and translated by Lady Eastlake (1809–93), was published between 1854 and 1857. As Waagen explains in his preface to the first volume, he had previously published an account of his experiences on his first visit to Britain in 1835, but this new and longer work was addressed primarily to a British audience. It also differs in that the earlier work was more of a general travelogue, whereas these volumes, after an introductory essay, provide a more detailed catalogue - albeit in epistolary form - of works of art in public and private collections. Waagen (along with Johann David Passavant, whose work is also reissued in this series) was crucial to the adoption in Britain of the new approach to art history pioneered by German scholars, and his work is still consulted on matters of provenance and quality.
