Networking in Late Medieval Central Europe Friends Families Foes

Networking in Late Medieval Central Europe Friends Families Foes

Exploring the formation of networks across late medieval Central Europe this book examines the complex interaction of merchants students artists and diplomats in a web of connections that linked the region. These individuals were friends in business ventures occasionally families and not infrequently foes. No single activity linked them but rather their interconnectivity through matrices based in diverse modalities was key. Partnerships were not always friendship networks art was sometimes passed between enemies and families created for financial gain. Taking an interdisciplinary approach the chapters focus on inclusion and exclusion within intercultural networks both interpersonal and artistic using a wide spectrum of source materials and methodological approaches. The concept of friends is considered broadly not only as connections of mutual affection but also simply through business relationships. Families are considered in terms of how they helped or hindered local integration for foreigners and the matrimonial strategies they pursued. Networks were also deeply impacted by rivalry and hostility. | Networking in Late Medieval Central Europe Friends Families Foes

Comfort in the Eighteenth-Century Country House

Comfort in the Eighteenth-Century Country House

Country houses were grand statements of power and status but they were also places where people lived. This book traces the changes in layout the new technologies and the innovations in furniture that made them more convenient and comfortable. It argues that these material changes were just one aspect of comfort in the country house: feeling comfortable was just as important as being comfortable. Achieving this involved the comfort and solace to be found in daily routines religious faith and above all relationships with family and friends. Such emotional comforts and the attachment to things and places that embodied and memorialized them made country houses into homes. | Comfort in the Eighteenth-Century Country House

Supportive Conversations on Facebook Timelines Discourse Topic Management

Supportive Conversations on Facebook Timelines Discourse Topic Management

The emergence of social networking sites like Facebook and people’s engagement with one another through them is a relatively under-researched area for discourse analysis. The content of the book revolves around Discourse Topic Management which is under the theme of Discourse Analysis. It is written to extend the very limited literature in the area of Discourse Topic especially for the discourse which takes place on social networking sites. This study discusses the characteristics of topical actions employed by English language teachers and their Facebook Friends in managing supportive conversations which take place on Timelines. In addition to employing new strategies enabled by the particular features of the site the teachers and their Friends also creatively adapt the strategies used in face-to-face conversations to manage their online conversations thus contributing to the emergence of unique characteristics of discourse topic management in the context of social networking sites. The book brings together the existing frameworks of Discourse Topic Management which are previously applied in the context of face-to-face conversations and synthesizes the frameworks for a more comprehensive model into examining the conversations which take place on Facebook Timelines. The novelty of this book lies in its synthesized framework the recontextualization of the framework for online conversations and the theoretical extension based on the data analysis presented in each chapter. Since people’s engagement with social networking sites is an emerging behaviour this timely book provides insights into the phenomenon and also proposes a comprehensive analytical framework for other researchers interested in similar contexts. | Supportive Conversations on Facebook Timelines Discourse Topic Management

Patriotism Partition and the Persecuted Social Biography of Victims of Partition

Patriotism Partition and the Persecuted Social Biography of Victims of Partition

This book explores the theme of continuous wreaking of brutal persecution of a Hindu family on the one hand and the uncompromising efforts of Muslim friends and neighbours to protect this family on the other. It is set against the resultant and barbaric forces let loose after the propagation of the two nation theory and the ultimate partition of India in 1947. Based on the soical biography of a Hindu family that stayed back in East Pakistan it traces their journey how they became 'other' in the country of their birth and faced persecution. This being branded the other led to part of the family migrating to Inida away from their natal roots. The 1965 India-Pakistan war further brought prolonged separation and sufferings for these half-families living on both sides of the borders. Subjecting one to encounter helplessness uncertainty and poverty in India and the other to state sponsored apathy coercion arrests and physical tortures. The vicious atmosphere of violent communal aggression though did not stop their Muslim friends from protecting them. When the Muslim friend was killed by the religious fanatics in the newly liberated Bangladesh the left behind member of the Hindu family realized that it was time to leave their motherland for India where they died with the desire to go back to their motherland buried along with them. Despite prolonged violence and tragic separation thereafter numerous memories of the self-sacrificing efforts of the compatriots served as recollection in collective living in the Indian subcontinent. | Patriotism Partition and the Persecuted Social Biography of Victims of Partition

Re-Thinking Kinship and Feudalism in Early Medieval Europe

Re-Thinking Kinship and Feudalism in Early Medieval Europe

This is the second collection of studies by Stephen D. White to be published by Variorum (the first being Feuding and Peace-Making in Eleventh-Century France). The essays in this volume look principally at France and England from Merovingian and Anglo-Saxon times up to the 12th century. They analyze Latin and Old French discourses that medieval nobles used to construct their relationships with kin lords men and friends and investigate the political dimensions of such relationships with particular reference to patronage/clientage the use of land as an item of exchange and feuding. In so doing the essays call into question the conventional practice of studying kinship and feudalism as independent systems of legal institutions and propose new strategies for studying them. | Re-Thinking Kinship and Feudalism in Early Medieval Europe
