Revival: Society in the Making: Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75 (1979) Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75

Revival: Society in the Making: Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75 (1979) Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75

This important book is the product of a remarkable experience. A sociologist domiciled in Hungary the author has intermittently taught and studied in France Britain and the United States. Few social scientists of the post-Second World War generation have had this range of experience. And as we know from the history of theoretical physics psychoanalysis economic and other fields Hungary is the incubator of great talents. A Society in the Making can be read on three levels: as a study of Hungarian social structure as a case-study in comparative social policy or as a contribution to the theory of social policy. As a study of Hungary the author's book is one of the small but growing number of analyses of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union which avoid denunciamentos and apologetics. It is a sympathetically critical account (as she says 'In social science there is no neutral act') from which much can be learned. | Revival: Society in the Making: Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75 (1979) Hungarian Social and Societal Policy 1945-75

The Third Indochina Conflict

The Third Indochina Conflict

The Third Indochina Conflict (1975-) is seen by some as the escalation of a local quarrel between Vietnam and Kampuchea; others attribute it to the attempts of external powers to advance their own interests by encouraging conflict among the various Indochinese states; most agree that it is a logical-but not inevitable-consequence of the First (1946-54) and Second (1959-75) Indochinese conflicts. The contributors to this book analyze the origins and development of the Third Indochinese Conflict and the problems posed by the complex issues involved.

Perspectives on India's Political Economy

This volume contains some of the core foundational contributions on the broad theme of the political economy of India’s development. These have been culled from the numerous writings of public personages thinkers and academic writers over the past century. The extant collections of readings on development economics usually contain readings from academic economists like Sen Bhagwati Bardhan Dreze Basu etc. The purpose of this collection is to point out to the lay reader that there is a world of writing on development that is outside the realms of academia. Accordingly we look at the contributions of figures like Mahatma Gandhi Jawaharlal Nehru Babasaheb Ambedkar Ram Manohar Lohia etc. who too had thought hard and deep about the process of India’s development. The present volume is a purposive selection of 23 articles out of the 75 pieces published earlier in four volumes with the title Economic Development of India by Routledge in 2015. This selection is brought out with the aim of retaining the flavour of the theme under discussion in a succinct single cover volume with a new introduction that ruminates on the recent developments. | Perspectives on India's Political Economy

A Foul and Pestilent Congregation Images of Freaks in Baroque Art

A Foul and Pestilent Congregation Images of Freaks in Baroque Art

First published in 1998 this volume explores how in the seventeenth century depictions of human oddity hunchbacks cripples dwarfs appeared regularly in the work of both minor and major artists including Veláquez Rubens Van Dyck and Rivera. In this the first comprehensive study of these images Barry Wind starts with the topoi for the mentally and physically infirm established in antiquity and traces their development into the Baroque period. A delight in the unusual was consonant with the contemporary collection of other exotica convoluted shells and strange animals but human ‘freaks’ provoked more than curiosity. Their representation ranged from taxonomic fascination to derisive mockery. They were frequently cast as imperfect foils to the fashionable courtiers who sought aggrandizement through juxtaposition. The images were also exploited as metaphors for a favourite theme of the period ‘the world turned upside down’. In this synthesis of repulsion and fascination mockery and dread the portrayal of these ‘others’ reveals a dark underside of Baroque culture that has never been thoroughly investigated or understood. With the support of 75 reproductions of works from Italy Spain and Northern Europe Barry Wind examines representations of human deformity throughout the baroque period. He pursues his account into the eighteenth century and the expression of a new sympathetic understanding and compassion. His study written with great clarity makes available hitherto obscure and inaccessible material gathered from diverse sources such as medical treatises literary texts popular ballads and court documents to set these images in their context and explain this obsession with difference. | A Foul and Pestilent Congregation Images of Freaks in Baroque Art

Robert Armin and Shakespeare's Performed Songs

Robert Armin and Shakespeare's Performed Songs

After Robert Armin joined the Chamberlain's Men singing in Shakespeare's dramas catapulted from 1. 25 songs and 9. 95 lines of singing per play to 3. 44 songs and 29. 75 lines of singing a virtually unnoticed phenomenon. In addition many of the songs became seemingly improvisatory—similar to Armin's personal style as an author and solo comedian. In order to study Armin's collaborative impact this interdisciplinary book investigates the songs that have Renaissance music that could have been heard on Shakespeare's stage. They occur in some of Shakespeare's most famous plays including Much Ado About Nothing Twelfth Night Hamlet and The Tempest. In fact Shakespeare's plays as we have them are not complete. They are missing the music that could have accompanied the plays’ songs. Significantly Renaissance vocal music far beyond just providing entertainment was believed to alter the bodies and souls of both performers and auditors to agree with its characteristics directly inciting passions from love to melancholy. By collaborating with early modern music editor and performing artist Lawrence Lipnik Catherine Henze is able to provide new performance editions of seventeen songs including spoken interruptions and cuts and rearrangement of the music to accommodate the dramatist's words. Next Henze analyzes the complete songs words and music according to Renaissance literary and music primary sources and applies the new information to interpretations of characters and scenes frequently challenging commonly held literary assessments. The book is organized according to Armin's involvement with the plays before during and after the comic actor joined Shakespeare's company. It offers readers the tools to interpret not only these songs but also vocal music in dramas by other Renaissance playwrights. Moreover Robert Armin and Shakespeare's Performed Songs written with non-specialized terminology provides a
