Citizenship Community and Democracy in India From Bombay to Maharashtra c. 1930 - 1960

Citizenship Community and Democracy in India From Bombay to Maharashtra c. 1930 - 1960

On 1 May 1960 Bombay Province was bifurcated into the two new provinces of Gujarat and Maharashtra amidst scenes of great public fanfare and acclaim. This decision marked the culmination of a lengthy campaign for the creation of Samyukta (‘united’) Maharashtra in western India which had first been raised by some Marathi speakers during the interwar years and then persistently demanded by Marathi-speaking politicians ever since the mid-1940s. In the context of an impending independence some of its proponents had envisaged Maharashtra as an autonomous domain encompassing a community of Marathi speakers which would be constructed around exclusivist notions of belonging and majoritarian democratic frames. As a result linguistic reorganisation was also quickly considered to be a threat posing questions for others about the extent to which they belonged to this imagined space. This book delivers ground-breaking perspectives upon nascent conceptions and workings of citizenship and democracy during the colonial/postcolonial transition. It examines how processes of democratisation and provincialisation during the interwar years contributed to demands and concerns and offers a broadened and imaginative outlook on India’s partition. Drawing upon a novel body of archival research the book ultimately suggests Pakistan might also be considered as just one paradigmatic example of a range of coterminous calls for regional autonomy and statehood informed by a majoritarian democratic logic that had an extensive contemporary circulation. It will be of interest to academics in the fields of South Asian history in general and the Partition in particular as well as to those interested in British colonialism and postcolonial studies. | Citizenship Community and Democracy in India From Bombay to Maharashtra c. 1930 - 1960

Honourable Intentions? Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies c 1750 to 1850

Honourable Intentions? Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies c 1750 to 1850

Honourable Intentions? compares the significance and strategic use of ‘honour’ in two colonial societies the Cape Colony and the early British settlements in Australia between 1750 and 1850. The mobile populations of emigrants and sojourners sailors and soldiers merchants and traders slaves and convicts who surged into and through these regions are not usually associated with ideas of honour. But in both societies competing and contradictory notions of honour proved integral to the ways in which colonisers and colonised free and unfree defended their status and insisted on their right to be treated with respect. During these times of flux concepts of honour and status were radically reconstructed. Each of the thirteen chapters considers honour in a particular sphere - legal political religious or personal - and in different contexts determined by the distinctive and changing matrix of race gender and class as well as the distinctions of free and unfree status in each colony. Early chapters in the volume show how and why the political ideological and moral stakes of the concept of honour were particularly important in colonial societies; later chapters look more closely at the social behaviour and the purchase of honour among specific groups. Collectively the chapters show that there was no clear distinction between political and social life and that honour crossed between the public and private spheres. This exciting new collection brings together new and established historians of Australia and South Africa to highlight thought-provoking parallels and contrasts between the Cape and Australian colonies that will be of interest to all scholars of colonial societies and the concept of honour. | Honourable Intentions?

Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c.1000 c.1250

Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c.1000 c.1250

This book is the first to compare Denmark and Portugal systematically in the High Middle Ages and demonstrates how the two countries became strong kingdoms and important powers internationally by their participation in the crusading movement. Communication in the Middle Ages was better developed than often assumed and institutions ideas and military technology was exchanged rapidly meaning it was possible to coordinate great military expeditions across the geographical periphery of Western Europe. Both Denmark and Portugal were closely connected to the sea and developed strong fleets at the entrance to the Baltic and in the Mediterranean Seas respectively. They also both had religious borders to the pagan Wends and to the Muslims that were pushed forward in almost continuous crusades throughout the centuries. Crusading at the Edges of Europe follows the major campaigns of the kings and crusaders in Denmark and Portugal and compares war-technology and crusading ideology highlighting how the countries learned from each other and became organised for war. | Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c. 1000 � c. 1250

A Leader's Guide to Competency-Based Education From Inception to Implementation

A Leader's Guide to Competency-Based Education From Inception to Implementation

As interest in competency-based education (CBE) continues to grow by leaps and bounds the need for a practical resource to guide development of high-quality CBE programs led the authors to write this book. Until now there has been no how-to manual that captures in one place a big picture view of CBE along with the down-to-earth means for building a CBE program. A variety of pressures are driving the growth in CBE including the need for alternatives to the current model of higher education (with its dismal completion rates); the potential to better manage the iron triangle of costs access and quality; the need for graduates to be better prepared for the workforce; and the demands of adult learners for programs with the flexible time and personalized learning that CBE offers. Designed to help institutional leaders become more competent in designing building and scaling high-quality competency-based education (CBE) programs this book provides context guidelines and process. The process is based on ten design elements that emerged from research funded by the Gates Foundation and sponsored by AAC&U ACE EDUCAUSE and the Competency-Based Education Network (C-BEN) with thought partners CAEL and Quality Matters. In short the book will serve administrators higher education leaders faculty staff and others who have an interest in CBE by:• Giving context to enable the audience to discover the importance of each design element and to help frame the CBE program (the “why”);• Providing models checklists and considerations to determine the “what” component for each design element;• Sharing outlines and templates for the design elements to enable institutions to build quality relevant and rigorous CBE programs (the “how”). | A Leader's Guide to Competency-Based Education From Inception to Implementation

Germs in the English Workplace c.1880–1945

Germs in the English Workplace c.1880–1945

This book looks at how the workplace was transformed through a greater awareness of the roles that germs played in English working lives from c. 1880 to 1945. Cutting across a diverse array of occupational settings – such as the domestic kitchen the milking shed the factory and the Post Office – it offers new perspectives on the history of the germ sciences. It brings to light the ways in which germ scientists sought to transform English working lives through new types of technical and educational interventions that sought to both eradicate and instrumentalise germs. It then asks how we can measure and judge the success of such interventions by tracing how workers responded to the potential applications of the germ sciences through their participation in friendly societies trade unions colleges and volunteer organisations. Throughout the book close attention is paid to reconstructing vernacular traditions of working with invisible life in order to better understand both the successes and failures of the germ sciences to transform the working practices and material conditions of different workplaces. The result is a more diverse history of the peoples politics and practices that went into shaping the germ sciences in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England. | Germs in the English Workplace c. 1880–1945

C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

The concept of archetypes is at the core of C. G. Jung’s analytical psychology. In this interesting and accessible volume Roesler summarises the classical theory of archetypes and the archetypal stages of the individuation process as it was developed by Jung and his students. Various applications of archetypes in cultural studies as well as in clinical practice are demonstrated with detailed case studies dream series myths fairy tales and so on. The book also explores how the concept has further developed as a result of research and for the first time integrates findings from anthropology human genetics and the neurosciences. Based on these contemporary insights Roesler also makes a compelling argument for why some of Jung’s views on the concept should be comprehensively revised. Offering new insights on foundational Jungian topics like the collective unconscious persona and shadow C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept is of great interest to Jungian students analysts psychotherapists and scholars. | C. G. Jung’s Archetype Concept Theory Research and Applications

India and the Responsibility to Protect

India and the Responsibility to Protect

Bloomfield charts India’s profoundly ambiguous engagement with the thorny problem of protecting vulnerable persons from atrocities without fatally undermining the sovereign state system a matter which is now substantially shaped by debates about the responsibility to protect (R2P) norm. Books about India’s evolving role in world affairs and about R2P have proliferated recently but this is the first to draw these two debates together. It examines India’s historical responses to humanitarian crises starting with the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War concentrating on the years 2011 and 2012 when India sat on the UN Security Council. Three serious humanitarian crises broke during its tenure - in C´te d'Ivoire Libya and Syria - which collectively sparked a ferocious debate within India. The book examines what became largely a battle over ’what sort of actor’ modern India is or should be to determine how this contest shaped both India’s responses to these humanitarian tragedies and also the wider debates about rising India’s international identity. The book’s findings also have important (and largely negative) implications for the broader effort to make R2P a recognised and actionable international norm. | India and the Responsibility to Protect

Kabbalistic Visions C. G. Jung and Jewish Mysticism

Kabbalistic Visions C. G. Jung and Jewish Mysticism

In 1944 C. G. Jung experienced a series of visions which he later described as the most tremendous things I have ever experienced. Central to these visions was the mystic marriage as it appears in the Kabbalistic tradition and Jung’s experience of himself as Rabbi Simon ben Jochai the presumed author of the sacred Kabbalistic text the Zohar. Kabbalistic Visions explores Jung’s 1944 Kabbalistic visions the impact of Jewish mysticism on Jungian psychology Jung’s archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism and his claim late in life that a Hasidic rabbi the Maggid of Mezhirech anticipated his entire psychology. This book places Jung’s encounter with the Kabbalah in the context of the earlier visions and meditations of his Red Book his abiding interests in Gnosticism and alchemy and what many regard to be his Anti-Semitism and flirtation with National Socialism. Kabbalistic Visions is the first full-length study of Jung and Jewish mysticism in any language and the first book to present a comprehensive Jungian/archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism. | Kabbalistic Visions C.

Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Vegetarians have argued at great length that meat-eating is wrong. Even so the vast majority of people continue to eat meat and even most vegetarians eventually give up on their diets. Does this prove these people must be morally corrupt? In Why It’s OK to Eat Meat Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it’s entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the fancy offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar’s examination forcefully echoes vegetarians’ concerns about the meat industry’s impacts on animals workers the environment and public health. However he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world’s problems to tackle in what ways and to what extents and hence people can decline to take up this particular form of activism without doing anything wrong. Key Features First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience Punchy accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can’t vindicate vegetarians’ claims that there’s a duty to avoid meat Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues | Why It's OK to Eat Meat

The Nasirean Ethics (RLE Iran C)

The Nasirean Ethics (RLE Iran C)

The Nasirean Ethics is the best known ethical digest to be composed in medieval Persia if not in all mediaeval Islam. It appeared initially in 633/1235 when Tūsī was already a celebrated scholar scientist politico-religious propagandist. The work has a special significance as being composed by an outstanding figure at a crucial time in the history he was himself helping to shape: some twenty years later Tūsī was to cross the greatest psychological watershed in Islamic civilization playing a leading part in the capture of Baghdad and the extinction of the generally acknowledged Caliphate there. In this work the author is primarily concerned with the criteria of human behaviour: first in terms of space and priority allotted at the individual level secondly at the economic level and thirdly at the political level. | The Nasirean Ethics (RLE Iran C)

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

C. G. Jung and the Dead: Visions Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain offers an in-depth look at Jung’s encounters with the dead moving beyond a symbolic understanding to consider these figures a literal presence in the psyche.

Musical Stimulacra Literary Narrative and the Urge to Listen

Musical Stimulacra Literary Narrative and the Urge to Listen

The title coinage of this book stimulacra refers to the fundamental capacity of literary narrative to stimulate our minds and senses by simulating things through words. Musical stimulacra are passages of fiction that readers are empowered to transpose into mental simulations of music. The book theorizes how fiction can generate musical experience explains what constitutes that experience and explores the musical dimensions of three American novels: William T. Vollmann’s Europe Central (2005) William H. Gass’s Middle C (2013) and Richard Powers’s Orfeo (2014). Musical Stimulacra approaches fiction’s music from a readerly perspective. Instead of looking at how novels forever fail to compensate for music’s physical structural and affective properties the book concentrates on what literary narrative can do musically. Negotiating common grounds for cognitive audionarratology and intermediality studies Musical Stimulacra builds its case on the assumption that among other things fiction urges us to listen—to musical words and worlds. | Musical Stimulacra Literary Narrative and the Urge to Listen

Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court c.1500–1630

In the sixteenth century the Ottoman court in Constantinople emerged as the axial centre of early modern diplomacy in Eurasia. Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court c. 1500-1630 takes a unique approach to diplomatic relations by focusing on how diplomacy was conducted and diplomatic cultures forged at a single court: the Sublime Porte. It unites studies from the perspectives of European and non-European diplomats with analyses from the perspective of Ottoman officials involved in diplomatic practices. It focuses on a formative period for diplomatic procedure and Ottoman imperial culture by examining the introduction of resident embassies on the one hand and on the other changes in Ottoman policy and protocol that resulted from the territorial expansion and cultural transformations of the empire in the sixteenth century. The chapters in this volume approach the practices and processes of diplomacy at the Ottoman court with special attention to ceremonial protocol diplomatic sociability gift-giving cultural exchange information gathering and the role of para-diplomatic actors. | Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court c. 1500–1630
