Turks ruled the Middle East for a millennium and eastern Europe for many centuries and it is an undoubted fact that they moulded the lands under their dominion It is therefore something of a paradox that the history of Turkey and aspects of the identity and role of the Turks, both as Muslims and as an ethnic group, still remain little known in the west одывы and undervalued in the Arabic and Persian-speaking worlds This groundbreaking book focuses on Turkey's key foundational myth, the battle of Manzikert in 1071 -- the Turkish equivalent of the battle of Hastings Manzikert destroyed the hold of Christian Byzantium on eastern Turkey and opened the whole country to the spread of Islam Translations and a close analysis of all the extant Muslim sources -- both Arabic and Persian -- which deal with the battle of Manzikert are provided in the book It also looks at these writings as literary works and vehicles of religious ideology and analyses the ongoing confrontation between the Muslim Turks and Christian Europe and the importance of Manzikert in the formation of the modern state of Turkey since 1923.  2008 г Мягкая обложка, 320 стр ISBN 0748625739.

The ancient Mesoamerican city of Izapa in Chiapas, Mexico, is renowned for its extensive collection of elaborate stone stelae and altars, which were carved during the Late Preclassic period (300 BC-AD 250) Many of these monuments depict kings garbed in the costume and persona of a bird, a well-known avian deity who had great significance for the одыбъ Maya and other cultures in adjacent regions This Izapan style of carving and kingly representation appears at numerous sites across the Pacific slope and piedmont of Mexico and Guatemala, making it possible to trace political and economic corridors of communication during the Late Preclassic period In this book, Julia Guernsey offers a masterful art historical analysis of the Izapan style monuments and their integral role in developing and communicating the institution of divine kingship She looks specifically at how rulers expressed political authority by erecting monuments that recorded their performance of rituals in which they communicated with the supernatural realm in the persona of the avian deity She also considers how rulers used the monuments to structure their built environment and create spaces for ritual and politically charged performances Setting her discussion in a broader context, Guernsey also considers how the Izapan style monuments helped to motivate and structure some of the dramatic, pan-regional developments of the Late Preclassic period, including the forging of a codified language of divine kingship This pioneering investigation, which links monumental art to the matrices of political, economic, and supernatural exchange, offers an important new understanding of a region, time period, and group of monuments that played a key role in the history of Mesoamerica and continue to intrigue scholars within the field of Mesoamerican studies.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 229 стр ISBN 0292713231.

Professor Roemer's goal in this book is to give a rigorous view of classical Marxian economic theory by presenting specific analytic models The theory is not extended to deal with new problems, but it is deepened: Marxian theory is given micro-foundations and upon those foundations the author begins to rebuild a tightly constructed Marxian economics одывш The book begins, after a methodological introduction, with an examination of the Marxian notion of equilibrium and the theory of exploitation, and goes onto deal with the theory of the falling rate of profit The next section explores one of the points made in the first section of the book, that the Marxian theory of exploitation can be constructed completely independently of the labor theory of value as a theory of exchange Technical study of this problem allows comment on various issues, such as the relative importance of "marginal utilities" and "class struggle" in determining relative prices The final part examines models of various Marxian concepts.  ISBN 0521347750.

Brecht at the Opera looks at the German playwright's lifelong ambivalent engagement with opera An ardent opera lover in his youth, Brecht later denounced the genre as decadent and irrelevant to modern society even as he continued to work on opera projects throughout his career He completed three operas and attempted two dozen more with composers одыгн such as Kurt Weill, Paul Hindemith, Hanns Eisler, and Paul Dessau Joy H Calico argues that Brecht's simultaneous work on opera and Lehrstuck in the 1920s generated the new concept of audience experience that would come to define epic theater, and that his revisions to the theory of Gestus in the mid-1930s are reminiscent of nineteenth-century opera performance practices of mimesis.  2008 г Твердый переплет, 304 стр ISBN 0520254821.

Re-visioning the classics, often in a subversive mode, has evolved into its own theatrical genre in recent years, and many of these productions have been informed by feminist theory and practice This book examines recent adaptations of classic texts (produced since 1980) influenced by a range of feminisms, and illustrates the significance of одыгс historical moment, cultural ideology, dramaturgical practice, and theatrical venue for shaping an adaptation Essays are arranged according to the period and genre of the source text re-visioned: classical theater and myth (e g Antigone, Metamorphoses), Shakespeare and seventeenth-century theater (e g King Lear, The Rover), nineteenth and twentieth century narratives and reflections (e g The Scarlet Letter, Jane Eyre, A Room of One's Own), and modern drama (e g A Doll House, A Streetcar Named Desire) The introductory essay situates these feminist re-visions of classic texts in the intersections among feminist theatre and theory, gender studies, and postmodern aesthetics to provide a frame of reference for the chapters on individual plays The volume includes essays by scholars, directors, and dramatists: Cheryl Black, Johan Callens, Lenora Champagne, Kristin Crouch, Lesley Ferris, Sharon Friedman, Deborah R Geis, Amy S Green, Julie Malnig, Carol Martin, Sandee McGlaun, Chiori Miyagawa, Andrea Nouryeh, and Maya E Roth.  2008 г Мягкая обложка ISBN 0786434252.

Early in the twentieth century a new character type emerged in the crime novels of American writers such as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler: the "hard-boiled" detective, most famously exemplified by Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon Unlike the analytical detectives of nineteenth-century fiction, such as Edgar Allan Poe's Inspector одыди Dupin, the new detectives encountered cases not as intricate logical puzzles but as stark challenges of manhood In the stories of these characters and their criminal opposites, John T Irwin explores the tension within ideas of American masculinity between subordination and independence and, for the man who becomes "his own boss," the conflict between professional codes and personal desires He shows how, within different works of hard-boiled fiction, the professional either overcomes the personal or is overcome by it, ending in ruinous relationships or in solitary integrity, and how within the genre all notions of manly independence are ultimately revealed to be illusions subordinate to fate itself Tracing the stylistic development of the genre, Irwin demonstrates the particular influence of the novel of manners, especially the writing of F Scott Fitzgerald He goes on to argue that, from the time of World War II, when hard-boiled fiction began to appear on the screen in film noir just as women entered the workforce in large numbers, many of its themes came to extend to female empowerment Finally, he discusses how these themes persist in contemporary dramatic series on television, representing the conflicted lives of Americans into the twenty-first century.  2008 г Мягкая обложка, 304 стр ISBN 0801890802.

A refreshingly clearheaded and taboo-breaking look at race in America reveals our culture as neither Black nor White nor Other, but a mix-a mongrel Black Like You is an erudite and entertaining exploration of race relations in American popular culture Particularly compelling is the author's ability to tackle blackface--a strange, often scandalous, одыдю and now taboo entertainment Although blackface performance came to be denounced as purely racist mockery, and shamefacedly erased from most modern accounts of American cultural history, Strausbaugh shows that, nevertheless, its impact has been deep and longlasting The influence of blackface can be seen in rock and roll and hip-hop; in vaudeville, Broadway, and drag performances; in Mark Twain and "gangsta lit"; in the earliest filmstrips and Hollywood's 2004 White Chicks; on radio and television; in advertising and product marketing; and even in the way Americans speak With remarkable common sense and clarity, Strausbaugh candidly illuminates truths about race rarely discussed in public, including: - American culture neither conforms to knee-jerk racism nor to political correctness It is neither Black nor White nor Other, but a mix-a mongrel - No history is best forgotten-however uncomfortable it may be to remember The power of blackface to enrage and mortify Americans to this day is reason enough to examine what it still tells us about our culture and ourselves - Blackface is still alive Its impact and derivations- including Black performers in "whiteface"-can be seen all around us.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 384 стр ISBN 1585424986.

As the sun set on the 20th century, a new age dawned in Japan This new era, symbolized by the postmodern city of Tokyo, has ushered in not only technological innovation and economic prowess, but changing attitudes and values among Japanese young people This transformation is not an uncommon or even new phenomenon, but simply the result of modern life одыеп And one of the symptoms of modernity is the prevalence of an "ethics of materialism," the ever-increasing concern for the acquisition of wealth and commodity goods, sometimes at the expense of the concern for human life itself Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) was a German-Jewish philosopher whose writings examined topics including, but not limited to, art, history, and politics His life's work, published posthumously as The Arcades Project, is a "literary montage" combining excerpts from written works related to life in 19th-century Paris and Benjamin's own commentaries and reflections Benjamin's project on Paris of the 19th century foreshadows what is now occurring in 21st-century Tokyo, and Japan in general Like the Paris of yesteryear, life in modern Tokyo is essentially a "dream image" that warps people's perception of the world in which they live The public thus finds itself trapped in what Benjamin refers to as the "phantasmagoria," an illusory reality of a relatively flawless society But this phantasmagoria shrouds the "grotesqueness" of underlying truths such as the failure of advances in science and philosophy to eradicate poverty, discrimination and other social inequities Drawing from a selection of Benjamin's writings including The Arcades Project, this thesis explores the social consequences as well as the political implications of the rise of commodity capitalism in modern Japan, concluding with a discussion on how political action can re-humanize a citizenry that has been "commodified" by their materialistic desires Walter Benjamin wrote about a past generation while appealing to his own, and as this discourse on the Tokyo Phantasmagoria will reveal, Benjamin appeals to our generation as well.  2008 г Мягкая обложка, 92 стр ISBN 1599426765.
