Sharp's Dictionary of Power and Struggle - Gene Sharp - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Sharp's Dictionary of Power and Struggle - Gene Sharp - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

From the 494 B.C. plebeians'' march out of Rome to gain improved status, to Gandhi''s nonviolent campaigns in India, to the liberation of Poland and the Baltic nations, and the revolutions in North Africa, nonviolent struggles have played pivotal roles in world events for centuries. Sharp''s Dictionary of Power and Struggle is a groundbreaking reference work on this topic by the "godfather of nonviolent resistance." In nearly 1,000 entries, the Dictionary defines those ideologies, political systems, strategies, methods, and concepts that form the core of nonviolent action as it has occurred throughout history and across the globe, providing much-needed clarification of language that is often mired in confusion. Entries discuss everything from militarization to censorship, guerrilla theater, pacifism, secret agents, and protest songs. In addition, the dictionary features a foreword by Sir Adam Roberts, President of the British Academy; an introduction by Gene Sharp; an essay on power and realism; case studies of conflicts in Serbia and Tunisia; and a guide for further reading. Sharp''s Dictionary of Power and Struggle is an invaluable resource for activists, educators and anyone else curious about nonviolent alternatives to both passivity and violent conflict. "Gene Sharp is perhaps the most influential proponent of nonviolent action alive."--The Progressive"Sharp has had broad influence on international events over the past two decades, helping to advance a global democratic awakening."--The Wall Street Journal"[Sharp''s] work has served as the template for taking on authoritarian regimes from Burma to Belgrade."--The Christian Science Monitor

Famine and Scarcity in Late Medieval and Early Modern England - Buchanan Sharp - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Famine and Scarcity in Late Medieval and Early Modern England - Buchanan Sharp - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Surveying government and crowd responses ranging from the late Middle Ages through to the early modern era, Buchanan Sharp''s illuminating study examines how the English government responded to one of the most intractable problems of the period: famine and scarcity. The book provides a comprehensive account of famine relief in the late Middle Ages and evaluates the extent to which traditional market regulations enforced by thirteenth-century kings helped shape future responses to famine and scarcity in the sixteenth century. Analysing some of the oldest surviving archival evidence of public response to famine, Sharp reveals that food riots in England occurred as early as 1347, almost two centuries earlier than was previously thought. Charting the policies, public reactions and royal regulations to grain shortage, Sharp provides a fascinating contribution to our understanding of the social, economic, cultural and political make-up of medieval and early modern England.

Rhetoric in Debt - Kellie Sharp Hoskins - Bog - Pennsylvania State University Press - Plusbog.dk

Rhetoric in Debt - Kellie Sharp Hoskins - Bog - Pennsylvania State University Press - Plusbog.dk

In recent years, household indebtedness in the United States reached its highest levels in history. From mortgages to student loans, from credit card bills to US deficit spending, debt is widespread and increasing. Drawing on scholarship from economics, accounting, and critical rhetoric and social theory, Kellie Sharp-Hoskins critiques debt not as an economic indicator or a tool of finance but as a cultural system. Through case studies of the student-loan crisis, medical debt, and the abuses of municipal bonds, Sharp-Hoskins reveals that debt is a rhetorical construct entangled in broader systems of wealth, rule, and race. Perhaps more than any other social marker or symbol, the concept of “debt” indicates differences between wealthy and poor, productive and lazy, secure and risky, worthy and unworthy. Tracking the emergence and work of debt across temporal and spatial scales reveals how it exacerbates vulnerabilities and inequities under the rhetorical cover of individual, moral, and volitional calculation and equivalency. A new perspective on a serious problem facing our society, Rhetoric in Debt not only reveals how debt organizes our social and cultural relations but also provides a new conceptual framework for a more equitable world.

Animal Ethos - Lesley A. Sharp - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Animal Ethos - Lesley A. Sharp - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

What kinds of moral challenges arise from encounters between species in laboratory science? Animal Ethos draws on ethnographic engagement with academic labs in which experimental research involving nonhuman species provokes difficult questions involving life and death, scientific progress, and other competing quandaries. Whereas much has been written on core bioethical values that inform regulated behavior in labs, Lesley A. Sharp reveals the importance of attending to lab personnel’s quotidian and unscripted responses to animals. Animal Ethos exposes the rich—yet poorly understood—moral dimensions of daily lab life, where serendipitous, creative, and unorthodox responses are evidence of concerted efforts by researchers, animal technicians, veterinarians, and animal activists to transform animal laboratories into moral scientific worlds.

Secular Spirituality - Lynn L. Sharp - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Secular Spirituality - Lynn L. Sharp - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Secular Spirituality challenges the traditional dichotomy between Enlightenment reason and religion. It follows French romantic socialists'' and spiritists'' search for a new spirituality based on reincarnation as a path to progress for individuals and society. Leaders like Allan Kardec argued for social reform; spiritist groups strove for equality; and women mediums challenged gender roles. Lynn L. Sharp looks closely at what it meant to practice spiritism, analyszing the movement''s social and political critique and explaining the popularity of the new belief. She explores points of convergence and conflict in the interplay between spiritism and science, spiritism and psychology, and spiritism and the Catholic church to argue that the nineteenth century was not as "disenchanted" as has been thought. Secular Spirituality successfully places spiritism within a larger cultural conversation, going beyond the leaders of the movement to look at the way spiritism functioned for its followers.

Jane Austen's Style - Anne (university Of Cambridge) Toner - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Jane Austen's Style - Anne (university Of Cambridge) Toner - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Jane Austen is renowned for the economy of her art: for the close focus of her romantic plots and the precision of her writing style. Exploring that economy stylistically and structurally, this book traces Austen''s keen interest in narrative form. Anne Toner pinpoints techniques that are fundamental to the distinctiveness of Austen''s fiction, many of which have been little explored to date. Toner argues that Austen''s conciseness in terms of plotting, narrative description and in the depiction of dialogue also contributed to her innovations in representing thought, expanding the novel''s capacity to depict consciousness. Narrative and rhetorical features are presented clearly and accessibly and will open up new ways of thinking about prose style with implications for the study of fiction beyond Austen''s own.

Microlocal Analysis, Sharp Spectral Asymptotics and Applications II - Victor Ivrii - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Microlocal Analysis, Sharp Spectral Asymptotics and Applications II - Victor Ivrii - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The prime goal of this monograph, which comprises a total of five volumes, is to derive sharp spectral asymptotics for broad classes of partial differential operators using techniques from semiclassical microlocal analysis, in particular, propagation of singularities, and to subsequently use the variational estimates in "small" domains to consider domains with singularities of different kinds. In turn, the general theory (results and methods developed) is applied to the Magnetic Schrödinger operator, miscellaneous problems, and multiparticle quantum theory. In this volume the local spectral asymptotics of Volume I in the regular part of the domain are combined with variational estimates in the vicinity of singularities, and global asymptotics are derived in the general form. They are then applied to multiple cases and asymptotics with respect to a spectral parameter. Finally, cases in which only general methods but not the results can be applied (non-standard asymptotics) are studied.

Rethinking Transitional Justice for the Twenty-First Century - Dustin N. (university Of San Diego) Sharp - Bog - Cambridge University Press -

Rethinking Transitional Justice for the Twenty-First Century - Dustin N. (university Of San Diego) Sharp - Bog - Cambridge University Press -

Transitional justice is the dominant lens through which the world grapples with legacies of mass atrocity, and yet it has rarely reflected the diversity of peace and justice traditions around the world. Hewing to a largely western and legalist script, truth commissions and war crimes tribunals have become the default means of ''doing justice''. Rethinking Transitional Justice for the Twenty-First Century puts the blind spots and assumptions of transitional justice under the microscope, and asks whether the field might be re-imagined to better suit the diversity and realities of the twenty-first century. At the core of this re-imagining is an examination of the broader field of post-conflict peace building and associated critical theory, from which both caution and inspiration can be drawn. By using this lens, Dustin N. Sharp shows how we might begin to generate a more cosmopolitan and mosaic theory, and imagine more creative and context-sensitive approaches to building peace with justice.

Esfir Shub - Ilana Shub Sharp - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Esfir Shub - Ilana Shub Sharp - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Esfir Shub was the only prominent female director of nonfiction film present at the dawning of the Soviet film industry. She was, in fact, the first woman both to write critical texts on cinema and then practically apply these theorisations in her own films. As such, her syncretism of cinema theory and praxis inspired her to ask questions regarding both the nature of nonfiction film, such as the problem of authenticity and reality, and the function of the artist in society; issues which are still relevant in contemporary discussions about the documentary. Accordingly, this book demonstrates Shub’s position not only as a significant filmmaker and recognised member of the early Soviet avant-garde but also as a key figure in global cinema history. Shub deserves recognition both as the founder and ardent promoter of the compilation film genre and as a pioneer of the theory and practice of documentary filmmaking.
