Human Trafficking in Colonial Vietnam

Examining the widespread phenomenon of human trafficking in Vietnam during the period of French colonial rule this book focuses on the practice of kidnapping or stealing Vietnamese women and children for sale in Chinese markets from the 1870s through to the 1940s.

Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Bartolomeo Scappi's Paper Kitchens

Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Bartolomeo Scappi's Paper Kitchens

Though Bartolomeo Scappi's Opera (1570) the first illustrated cookbook is well known to historians of food up to now there has been no study of its illustrations unique in printed books through the early seventeenth century. In Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Krohn both treats the illustrations in Scappi's cookbook as visual evidence for a lost material reality; and through the illustrations including several newly-discovered hand-colored examples connects Scappi's Opera with other types of late Renaissance illustrated books. What emerges from both of these approaches is a new way of thinking about the place of cookbooks in the history of knowledge. Krohn argues that with the increasing professionalization of many skills and trades Scappi was at the vanguard of a new way of looking not just at the kitchen-as workshop or laboratory-but at the ways in which artisanal knowledge was visualized and disseminated by a range of craftsmen from engineers to architects. The recipes in Scappi's Opera belong on the one hand to a genre of cookery books household manuals and courtesy books that was well established by the middle of the sixteenth century but the illustrations suggest connections to an entirely different and emergent world of knowledge. It is through study of the illustrations that these connections are discerned explained and interpreted. As one of the most important cookbooks for early modern Europe the time is ripe for a focused study of Scappi's Opera in the various contexts in which Krohn frames it: book history antiquarianism and visual studies. | Food and Knowledge in Renaissance Italy Bartolomeo Scappi's Paper Kitchens

Discourse Particles in Asian Languages Volume II Southeast Asia

Discourse Particles in Asian Languages Volume II Southeast Asia

This volume is the second in a two-part collection of research on discourse particles focusing exclusively on the languages of Asia from the perspective of formal as well as non-formal semantics and pragmatics. Despite increasing interest in discourse particles most research in the area (particularly within formal semantics and pragmatics) focuses on a restricted set of languages and there has been little consensus on the proper formal treatment of particles. The term discourse particles has been used to cover a broad range of phenomena including such things as sentence-final particles discourse adverbs and other related phenomena. In recent years there has been extensive development of the formal approach to discourse particles which often treats these words as devices for marking information updates. It is vital however to extend this data to non-Western languages like Malay Thai or Vietnamese. These two volumes are the first to give an exclusive focus on particles in non-European languages (in this case Asian languages) from the perspective of formal and non-formal semantics and pragmatics. This second volume includes chapters on Tagalog Kimaragang Dusun (Malaysia) Malay Singlish (Colloquial Singapore English) Thai and Vietnamese. The chapters are informed by recent theoretical work in formal and non-formal semantics and pragmatics relating to the meaning of particles. The collection contributes to our theoretical understanding of the meaning of discourse particles and to empirical knowledge of discourse particles in the languages of Asia. It will be of interest to postgraduate students and scholars of semantics and pragmatics. | Discourse Particles in Asian Languages Volume II Southeast Asia
