The Theory of the Leisure Class

The Theory of the Leisure Class

In The Theory of the Leisure Class his first and best-known work Thorstein Veblen challenges some of society's most cherished standards of behavior and with devastating wit and satire exposes the hollowness of many of our canons of taste education dress and culture. Veblen uses the leisure class as his example because it is this class that sets the standards followed by every level of society. The sign of membership in the leisure class is exemption from industrial toil and the mark of success is lavish expenditure conspicuous consumption is the famous term he invented to describe somethings that satisfies no real need but is a mark of prestige. The process Veblen describes continues today albeit in a more circuitous form. The Theory of the Leisure Class is part of an ongoing effort to make available the collected works of Veblen to a present-day audience of students and scholars.

Journeys in Narrative Inquiry The Selected Works of D. Jean Clandinin

Journeys in Narrative Inquiry The Selected Works of D. Jean Clandinin

Organized around a metaphor of an academic journey D. Jean Clandinin offers published tracings of an unfolding journey over 40 years that at its outset appeared to focus only on questions of epistemology. However the book illuminates how that apparent beginning focus shape-shifted to questions of methodology ethics ontology and subsequently political concerns. Clandinin shows that even at the outset her research wonders were grounded in relational understandings of experience understandings that were simultaneously ontological methodological epistemological and ethical. Jean’s work is collaborative an engagement alongside others and within the contexts in which they and she lived and worked including those who were participants in the research. She continues to acknowledge that narrative inquiry changes people’s ways of being in the world and those changes have ethical significance. While what she and her colleagues now call relational ethics has always been central recently her sense of ethics has become more explicitly political. She shows the development of ideas over time beginning as she entered doctoral work and continuing through 2019 and onward. Jean’s work centered on relational understandings of experience highlights ethical dimensions and has come to define narrative understandings for generations of researchers. This book will be an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students and professional researchers in both educational and healthcare settings. . | Journeys in Narrative Inquiry The Selected Works of D.

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46 illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years immediately prior to during and after World War Two. This will not only deepen insight of the American Empire but also grants the opportunity to tie Philippine political-cultural change to the global history of urban planning’s advancement. Accordingly it opens a new window to rethink Filipino ethno-history and societal evolution alongside the opportunity to compare the Philippines with other nations that undertook planning projects as part of their decolonisation process and early-postcolonial advancement. The book utilises theoretical frames in order to help creatively excavate the era 1935–46 for the purpose of not just revealing what public works occurred but to also uncover what those projects meant to the Commonwealth Government the BPW’s staff and the public who benefitted from public works projects. The book will be relevant to students and researchers of Urban History Asian and American (Empire) History and Imperial and Colonial Studies. Architects planners and members of the public who are interested in the form and meaning of urban environments designed/constructed in the past will also find the publication to be of great interest. | Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

What can we learn about Van Morrison’s life and work as a songwriter through his songs? This book looks closely at the lyrics and music from a selection of his songs. Some are very well-known - ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ ‘Cleaning Windows’ and ‘The Healing Game’. Others are less familiar. Through these songs the book offers insights into some of the most important ideas that the songwriter has explored across his five-decade plus career starting from the Them period and extending through his solo albums. These readings show how thinking about Morrison’s use of place provides a specific lens that contributes to a greater understanding of his art. The songs are organized into chapters that reflect many of the important places in Morrison’s work as he ventured professionally and imaginatively away from the places of his upbringing towards a wider musical world. These places are in city streetscapes and country landscapes – in home places of streets and ditches in the enclosed spaces of rooms in the expansive reaches of the natural world in indeterminate and specific foreign lands. A picture emerges of the journey that Van Morrison details through his songs one that sees him first wandering as a boy through his East Belfast haunts and then venturing out to a wider world away from this local place. | The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

The Hebrew Bible Nationalism and the Origins of Anti-Judaism A New Interpretation and Poetic Anthology

The Hebrew Bible Nationalism and the Origins of Anti-Judaism A New Interpretation and Poetic Anthology

In the attempts to unify divided peoples on the basis of a shared past both historical and mythical this book illumines aspects of cultural nationalism common since the Middle Ages. As an edited work the Bible includes texts mostly depicting long-gone historical eras extending over several centuries. Following on from Aberbach’s previous work National Poetry Empires and War this book argues that works of this nature – notably the Mujo-Halil songs in Albania the Irish stories of Cuchulain the songs of the Nibelungen in Germany or the Finnish legends collected in The Kalevala – have an ancient precedent in the Hebrew Bible (to which national literatures often allude and refer) a subject largely neglected in biblical studies. The self-critical element in the Hebrew Bible common in later national literature is examined as the basis of later anti-Semitism as the Bible was not confined to Jews but was adopted in translation by many other national groups. With several dozen original translations from the Hebrew this book highlights how the Bible influenced and was distorted by later national cultures. Written without jargon this book is intended for the general reader but is also an important contribution to the study of the Bible nationalism and Jewish history. | The Hebrew Bible Nationalism and the Origins of Anti-Judaism A New Interpretation and Poetic Anthology

Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

This book takes an interdisciplinary transnational and cross-cultural approach to reflect on critically examine and challenge the surprisingly robust practice of making art after death in an artist's name through the lenses of scholars from the fields of art history economics and law as well as practicing artists. Works of art conceived as multiples such as sculptures etchings prints photographs and conceptual art can be—and often are—remade from original models and plans long after the artist has passed. Recent sales have suggested a growing market embrace of posthumous works contemporaneous with questioning on the part of art history. Legal norms seem unready for this surge in posthumous production and are beset by conflict across jurisdictions. Non-Western approaches to posthumous art from Chinese emulations of non-living artists to Native American performances take into account rituals of generational passage at odds with contemporary market-driven approaches. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history the art market art law art management museum studies and economics. | Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

Byzantine Coins Influenced by the Shroud of Christ

Byzantine Coins Influenced by the Shroud of Christ

Numerous studies have been carried out on Byzantine coins but there are still no univocal interpretations on the details of the figures represented there and in particular on those relating to Jesus Christ. The information derived from the studies on the Holy Shroud the most important Relic of Christ in Christianity has clearly resulted in some new interpretations. This is the first book in the world that deals extensively with the effigy of Christ despite being the most sought after and collected by numismatists. Furthermore the book relates the different images of the Redeemer on Byzantine coins with the image of Jesus Christ on the Shroud the most important Relic of Christianity. The numerous collectors will therefore be interested in having not only a numismatic analysis of these coins but also a historical-religious study. This book which should be understandable to everyone demonstrates the strong influence that the Shroud had in the Byzantine era. | Byzantine Coins Influenced by the Shroud of Christ
