Laurence Sterne and the Visual Imagination

Laurence Sterne and the Visual Imagination

The first full-length and comprehensive study of the illustrations of Sterne's work this book explores the ability of Sterne's texts to inspire the visual imagination. It helps to explain why scores of editions of his fiction have been illustrated some profusely: to fulfill the reader's desire as well as the artist's compulsion to visualize Sterne's words. Gerard places his subject in a clear and innovative theoretical framework which opens the field to general word and image studies. The author begins by examining the distinct varieties of pictorialism in Sterne's texts. The remainder of the study takes into account three remarkable series of illustrations-representing Trim reading the sermon didactic sentimentalism in A Sentimental Journey and Henry Mackenzie's Man of Feeling and the many and diverse portrayals of 'poor Maria' - to demonstrate the ways in which culture projects these texts differently through the various artists. | Laurence Sterne and the Visual Imagination

London Patidars A Case Study in Urban Ethnicity

London Patidars A Case Study in Urban Ethnicity

First Published in 1980 London Patidars presents the case study of the Patidars a landowning caste from the Indian state of Gujarat in London. Patidars being the landowning caste has taken over much of the ideology of the merchant castes. This ‘merchant ideal’ is a central part of their self-image. It is an incitement to initiative in business and to some extent their actual economic behaviour does reflect the ideal. But the cases studied do not all conform to this ideal and they pose questions: How does this particular type of ethnic boundary relate to the opportunities of the individual Patidar? Why and how is this boundary maintained? Harald Tambs-Lyche concludes that the form given to the ethnic boundary is advantageous to many Patidars but not to all in the same degree. This raises problems which potentially could change the present pattern. Other potential problems relate to their relationship with the English. As successful merchants they risk becoming objects of envy like formerly the Jewish community. This book is a must read for scholars of ethnic and race relations and sociology. | London Patidars A Case Study in Urban Ethnicity

Re-producing Chineseness in Southeast Asia Scholarship and Identity in Comparative Perspectives

Re-producing Chineseness in Southeast Asia Scholarship and Identity in Comparative Perspectives

Identity politics can impede Chinese identification in southeast Asia because the migrant population particularly the intellectual aspect of that population have to consider the political effects of their intellectual and social activities on the survival of Chinese communities. Similarly these communities have to deal with the necessity of nation-building in the aftermath of the Second World War which required integration rather than the exaggeration of differences. Consequently restriction on self-understanding as well as self-representation has become more than apparent in Chinese migrant communities in southeast Asia. With this in mind identity politics can inspire self-understanding among the migrant communities as intellectuals rediscover how humanism can enable a claim of ‘Chineseness’ that can be registered differently and creatively in a variety of national conditions. Migrant communities generally understand the importance of political accuracy and this being accurate involves subscribing to pragmatism something which is apparent in the scholarship and creative outputs of these communities. Humanism and pragmatism together are the epistemological parameters of self-representation whereas civilizational and ethnic studies are their methodological parameters. This book was originally published as a special issue of Asian Ethnicity. | Re-producing Chineseness in Southeast Asia Scholarship and Identity in Comparative Perspectives

Elementary Number Theory

Elementary Number Theory

Elementary Number Theory Gove Effinger Gary L. Mullen This text is intended to be used as an undergraduate introduction to the theory of numbers. The authors have been immersed in this area of mathematics for many years and hope that this text will inspire students (and instructors) to study understand and come to love this truly beautiful subject. Each chapter after an introduction develops a new topic clearly broken out in sections which include theoretical material together with numerous examples each worked out in considerable detail. At the end of each chapter after a summary of the topic there are a number of solved problems also worked out in detail followed by a set of supplementary problems. These latter problems give students a chance to test their own understanding of the material; solutions to some but not all of them complete the chapter. The first eight chapters discuss some standard material in elementary number theory. The remaining chapters discuss topics which might be considered a bit more advanced. The text closes with a chapter on Open Problems in Number Theory. Students (and of course instructors) are strongly encouraged to study this chapter carefully and fully realize that not all mathematical issues and problems have been resolved! There is still much to be learned and many questions to be answered in mathematics in general and in number theory in particular.
