The Regime of the Brother - Juliet Flower Maccannell - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Regime of the Brother - Juliet Flower Maccannell - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Regime of the Brother is one of the first attempts to challenge modernity on its own terms. Using the work of Lacan, Kristeva and Freud, Juliet MacCannell confronts the failure of modernity to bring about the social equality promised by the Enlightenment. On the verge of its destruction, the Patriarchy has reshaped itself into a new, and often more oppressive regime: that of the Brother. Examining a range of literary and social texts - from Rousseau''s Confessions to Richardson''s Clarissa and from Stendhal''s De L''Amour to James''s What Maisie Knew and Jean Rhys''s Wide Sargasso Sea - MacCannell illustrates a history of the suppression of women, revealing the potential for a specifically feminine alternative.

The History of the Mongol Conquests - J. J. Saunders - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The History of the Mongol Conquests - J. J. Saunders - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

First Published in 1971 The History of the Mongol Conquests presents a general history of the Mongols of the thirteenth century. By using primary and secondary sources, J. J. Saunders fills up a major gap in the English historical literature on the subject. It goes without saying that the Mongol conquests of the thirteenth century turned the world upside down. The book opens with a chapter on Eurasian nomadism and an account of the Turkish conquests, seven centuries before those of the Mongols. The author deals fully with Chingis Khan and his achievements both as a soldier and as an administrator and goes on to describe the Mongol drive into the Europe and the Christian response to it. Mongol rule in China and Persia and their dominance in Russia are also covered. Rich in archival sources, this book is a must read for scholars and researchers of Asian and Central Asian history.

Loving Big Brother - John Mcgrath - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Loving Big Brother - John Mcgrath - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In Loving Big Brother the author tackles head on the overstated claims of the crime-prevention and anti-terrorism lobbies. But he also argues that we desire and enjoy surveillance, and that, if we can understand why this is, we may transform the effect it has on our lives. This book looks at a wide range of performance and visual artists, at popular TV shows and movies, and at our day-to-day encounters with surveillance, rooting its arguments in an accessible reading of cultural theory. Constant scrutiny by surveillance cameras is usually seen as - at best - an invasion of privacy, and at worst an infringement of human rights. But in this radical new account of the uses of surveillance in art, performance and popular culture, John E McGrath sets out a surprizing alternative: a world where we have much to gain from the experience of being watched. This iconoclastic book develops a notion of surveillance space - somewhere beyond the public and the private, somewhere we will all soon live. It''s a place we''re just beginning to understand.
