    Book SynopsisThe first study of trans* representation across European television. Trans* visibility has reached a peak in recent years, so much so, that we can state that we are witnessing a primetime, or trans*time, in television and digital streaming series. This visibility has occurred concurrently with a process of social popularization and academic legitimization of the series. .Paradoxically, trans* people face ever-mounting discrimination, insidious violence, and fatal murder rates. Trans*Time is the first international, media, and comparative approach to the representation of trans* characters in series in Europe.

  • Robert Beavers

    Synema Gesellschaft Fur Film u. Medien Robert Beavers

    Book SynopsisIn a career spanning five decades, Robert Beavers has distinguished himself as one of the most important American avant-garde filmmakers. From My Hand Outstretched to the Winged Distance and Sightless Measure, his cycle of 18 films made across Europe since 1967, to Pitcher of Colored Light (2007) and The Suppliant (2010), intimate portraits shot in the U.S., Beavers has produced a deeply original film language framed by his use of colored filters and mattes. His investigations of the handwork of anonymous artisans complement his dialogues with Ruskin, Leonardo, and Borromini in Ruskin (1975/1997), From the Notebook of… (1971/1998), and The Hedge Theater (1986/2002). This volume contains critical investigations of Beavers' most important films and a collection of the filmmaker's own writings. Occupying a unique space between poetry and philosophy, his aphoristic meditations vivify his own work and generously illuminate the art of film.

  • Collaborative Governance of Forestry

    University of Tokyo Press Collaborative Governance of Forestry

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis extensive reference writes a modern history of forestry in Japan, Indonesia, the Solomon Islands, and other Asian countries, reflecting industrial and colonial exploitation, periods of excessive deforestation, and the alienation of local residents from natural resources. Drawing on their experience as "participant observers" in local practice, the authors suggest new, "inclusive" approaches to forestry governance that support sustainable development, environmental preservation, and productive collaboration by various stakeholders.The mismatched interests of local citizens and outsiders has split the development of Asia's natural and cultural resources. Taking this complexity into account, the essays in this volume advance a definition of effective governance that achieves more than the successful execution of resource management. It pursues a new vision of society in which all stakeholders collaborate to govern the use of certain resources. This volume outlines two key conditions for effective resource management: sharing and commitment (or graduated membership), which transcend mere material issues to determine the social and cultural value of a resource.Table of ContentsChapter 1 - Historical Typology of Collaborative Governance: Modern Forest Policy in Japan (Hiroaki KAKIZAWA)Chapter 2 - Endogenous Development and Collaborative Governance in Japanese Mountain Villages (Hironori OKUDA and Makoto INOUE)Chapter 3 - Collaborative Forest Governance in Mass Private Tree Plantation Management: Company-Community Forestry Partnership System in Java, Indonesia (PHBM) (Yasuhiro YOKOTA, Kazuhiro HARADA, ROHMAN, and Nur Oktalina SILVI, WIYONO)Chapter 4 - Legitimacy for "Great Happiness": The Communal Resource Utilization in Biche Village, Marovo Lagoon in the Solomon Islands (Motomu TANAKA)Chapter 5 - Task-sharing, to the Degree Possible: Collaboration Between Out-Migrants and Remaining Residents of a Mountain Community Experiencing Rural Depopulation (Mika OKUBO)Chapter 6 - Collaborative Governance for Planted Forest Resources: Japanese Experiences (Noriko SATO, Takahiro FUJIWARA, and Vinh Quang NGUYEN)Chapter 7 - Forest Resources and Actor Relationships: A Study of Changes Caused by Plantations in Lao PDR (Kimihiko HYAKUMURA)Chapter 8 - Whom to Share With?

    Book SynopsisThis book is about reading. Throughout the book, the author explains the complexity of the dual-language involvement of FL/L2 reading by showing how L1 and FL/L2 factors interplay in FL/L2 reading. The main aim of the book is to explore reading in English in the foreign/second language context as a cross-linguistic phenomenon and to present the results of a think-aloud study which investigated reading in Polish as the L1 and English as the FL of Polish learners of English. The project consisted of six stages, each focussing on a different aspect of reading. Thus, the following was explored: reading strategies, problems and solutions, the way the subjects constructed their representations of the texts, the students' individual patterns of developing comprehension and effectiveness in identifying the main ideas. The findings revealed both differences and similarities between the subjects' reading in Polish and their reading in English. The book offers implications for further research and elucidates the usefulness of think-aloud protocols in foreign language instruction.

  • China at the Beginning of the Twenty–First

    Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo China at the Beginning of the Twenty–First

    7 in stock

    Book SynopsisChina at the beginning of the 21st century intrigues many researchers around the world. No different was the enthusiasm widely shared among the participants of the students' conference China at the beginning of the 21st century organized by the Institute of Middle and Far East Studies of Jagiellonian University in Kraków in April 2010. Research enthusiasm and inquisitive attitude of presenters and discussants observed during the conference inspired to go beyond the university walls and put this publication together. The problems discussed within this volume provide the readers with a background of most vital issues in modern China. They are related to the challenges of the Chinese society and state's international skirmishes. Each article is separately concluded by the author's findings, which is highly admirable, since the authors are young, but promising adepts in the field. At the same time, being open for criticism, the authors invite us to take a long hard look at China's modern challenges.Trade ReviewIn the 1980s and 1990s, China went through an intensive process of liberalization of social and cultural life, as well as economic reforms. As a result, China strengthened its position of the leading player of the globalized world, being quickly westernized at the same time. On the other hand, China is also one of the oldest civilizational centres, with a different and rich musical, theatrical, literary, philosophical, historical, and scientific tradition. That is why it is natural that various aspects concerning the present and the history of China arouse the interest of scientists that represent various areas of science. (…) The collective work China at the Beginning of the 21st Century edited by Lukasz Gacek, PhD, and Ewa Trojnar, PhD, is a sign of this natural curiosity. (…) All texts run in this book are on a proper factual and scientific level. The entirety describes and explains the reader the chosen, interesting areas of the Chinese reality at the beginning of the 21st century concerning cultural studies, international relations, as well as military and energy safety. -- Professor Dr. hab.

  • Lifelong Learning Today – New Areas, Contexts,

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisLifelong Learning Today is the result of cooperation between the scientists of the University of Ljubljana and the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. The aim of the authors and editors was not to create a compendium of knowledge about the current state of the development of education in the field of lifelong learning. The creation of a publication that would present a comprehensive, "photographic" image of the state of research and practices in the field of lifelong learning would be so laborious and long-term that it would not keep up with the constant changes which appear in reality. The authors decided to present a compilation of examples illustrating areas worth considering, contexts and practices, as well as certain problems and dilemmas.The image of the reality outlined in this book is very selective, but "spatial" to such an extent that it enables for the grasping of its size and dynamism of development. It encompasses not only significant issues from the standpoint of economy in the scope of key competences, but also concepts related to the social, cultural, scientific, artistic and common schooling, leading to more comprehensive personal development and to raising the quality of life.Trade ReviewThe book Lifelong Learning Today: New Areas, Contexts, Practices is the result of cooperation between individuals from two well-known centres of pedagogical thought and the adult learning theory: University of Ljubljana and Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The authors of the texts constituting the volume have a contemporary and essentially correct understanding of the concept and idea of lifelong learning as a continuing process which begins in early childhood and goes on until the grand old age, formally divided into time periods requiring defined pedagogical strategies. The authors pointed out the areas and contexts of education not used so far in their respective countries and unanimously formulated suggestions on improving the worrying situation. Considering the process of lifelong learning in a vertical dimension, they demonstrated the achievements and shortcomings of education and educating people at its various stages, including adult education. They pointed out, how the effects and shortcomings of education in a given period of life affect the educational efforts in the subsequent periods and how to use positive organisational and methodical experiences from earlier stages of education in its later stages.The book contains numerous timeless supranational generalisations, which often lead to unambiguous suggestions regarding the optimisation of the practices associated with education and educating people at various stages in their lives.It is due to those attributes that the book will be of interest not only to theorists but also practitioners committed to furthering lifelong education. -- Prof. dr hab.

    Book SynopsisU.S. – Latin American Relations is the next volume in Basic American Documents. It presents a collections of primary sources related to U.S. relations with the Latin American and Caribbean region. The selection of texts and documents seek to demonstrate a more modern and complicated history. There are, of course, several texts documenting the American domination over Latin American and Caribbean States. Of particular note are those outlining recent differences between the United States and its southern neighbors over anti-drug policy and attitudes toward economic development. The works of Simón Bolivar and Jose Marti have provided eloquent testimony of how American governments have historically sought to dominate its southern neighbors. Mexico, Cuba, and most of Central American and Caribbean States have especially painful memories of American imperialism. But there are also significant documents that demonstrate how the United States and the Latin American and Caribbean states have established significant forms of regional cooperation. In the past these agreements have helped to ease an otherwise conflicting sets of interests, values, and objectives. The pan-American movement in the 1920s and 1930s is perhaps the best example of this cooperation that at the time was historically unique in international affairs.Trade ReviewIn this volume, one can find the most important documents capturing two hundred years of U.S.–Latin American relations, with sources relating to both politics and economics. There are also primary sources relating to contemporary problems, such as the antidrug war and regional cooperation, each preceded by a comprehensive introduction. -- Jadwiga Kiwerska, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznn

    Book SynopsisKamil Stachowski examines partial interfixed reduplications in standard Turkic languages. Generally no longer productive, this type of reduplication serves primarily to intensify adjectives and adverbs. Unlike previous texts, his book considers the phenomenon comparatively across twenty modern languages and is based on complete collections of examples. It approaches the subject from a diachronic perspective, combining etymological, historical-comparative, and quantitative methodology.Trade ReviewStachowski presents the basic semantics of Turkic reduplications, from the expected intensification to other interesting features. His work has a clear and logical structure, and he displays an excellent understanding of the material, presenting the phenomenon of reduplication against a wider and not just Turkic background. Numerous tables, graphs, and maps substantially facilitate comprehension." -- Rafal Molencki, University of Silesia, Katowice

  • History, Memory, Trauma in Contemporary British

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisHistory, memory and trauma as well as their complex interrelations have been lying at the centre of interdisciplinary academic debates since the end of the previous century. These are also themes with which contemporary writers and other artists are increasingly preoccupied in their work. History, Memory, Trauma in Contemporary British and Irish Fiction is an attempt at analysing the relationship between history, memory and trauma in the selected novels of Pat Barker, Sebastian Barry, Kazuo Ishiguro and John Banville. The author examines the notion of memory in a variety of contexts: collective memory in the historical novels of Barker and Barry, individual memory as a foundation of the sense of self in the novels of Banville and Ishiguro, and traumatic memory in the novels of Barry and Ishiguro. By applying the theoretical framework of trauma studies to the work of those renowned writers, History, Memory, Trauma offers new interpretations of their novels. The author demonstrates that contemporary fiction moves beyond mere representation of trauma and engages the reader in the role of co-witness who enables the process of working through trauma.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe contemporary Chinese engagement in Africa dates back to the 1950's, and it has gained momentum in the last two decades. The Chinese presence in African countries has been getting more and more visible; not only the number of Chinese investments in the area and international agreements has been increasing, but also the size of the Chinese diaspora in the region has grown. China has been looking for new sources of natural resources and markets on which the 'made in China' goods would be welcomed, therefore it spares no efforts to establish and maintain possibly good relationships with Africa, especially with political elites of African countries. At first, the Chinese expansion was supported by the country's image of an older brother, a co-victim of the Western domination, and a example to be followed on the the path leading to development. This image, however, has started to be covered with some spots and shadows, caused by various Chinese activities. In this book we aimed to sketch the image of China and the Chinese in Zambia and Angola, presented by textual media and citizens of these countries, and to trace the most important factors influencing it. Moreover, we brought up some possible consequences of the prevalence of a particular – positive or negative – image for the future development of the Chinese expansion in the region.To obtain the possibly detailed image, we decided to combine quantitative and qualitative analysis of media content with results of our field work conducted in Africa.Trade ReviewThe study is focused on the extraordinarily important topical problem of the Chinese expansion in Africa. Both the applied innovative methodology and the new approach towards the Sino-African relations, focused on the perception of the Chinese presence in the region, are the factors that distinguish this work. […] As the authors themselves state, in the summary they try to avoid drawing generalising conclusions; rather, they focus on pointing out the differences in the perception of China and the Chinese between Angola and Zambia. Acknowledging the increasing importance of the perception of China and the Chinese in Africa as an important factor influencing Sino-African relations constitutes the most valuable conclusion of the study. -- Prof. Dominik Mierzejewski, University of Lodz

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe present book entitled Cereals of antiquity and early Byzantine times. Wheat and barley in medical sources (second to seventh centuries AD), penned by Maciej Kokoszko, Krzysztof Jagusiak and Zofia Rzeznicka, aims at a detailed analysis of the evolution of dietetic doctrines and an assessment of the value of medical sources for historians of food. In order to achieve the goal, the authors have analysed select medical sources composed between the 2nd and the 7th centuries AD, i.e., treatises published from the moment of canonizing dietetic doctrine by Galen up to the composition of the medical encyclopaedia compiled by Paul of Aegina and the publication of the anonymous work entitled De cibis. Within this timeframe, there appeared a number of works which, following the assumptions of the Hippocratic school, contain a cohesive discourse devoted to the role of food in maintaining and restoring human health, thus allowing us to trace the development of diets during the period in question.In order to conduct their research, the authors have selected a food group, namely cereals and cereal products, starting with common and durum wheat (and including in the research hulled wheats, i.e. einkorn, emmer and spelt) and finishing with barley, since all the above-mentioned crops constituted the basis of diet of the majority of peoples inhabiting the Mediterranean. The researches have shown the history of the said cereals in the area around the Mediterranean Sea, singled out the most important products obtained therefrom, demonstrated their dietetic evaluations as presented in the sources, determined the place of cereals in cuisine and outlined their role in medical procedures.The final result of the analyses proves stability of the dietetic doctrines throughout the researched period, explains intricacies of the conceptual system developed by the medical doctors to describe cereal and other foodstuffs, defines recipes, methods and technologies profited from in food processing and outlines the place of cereal substances (both as independent medicinal agents or as ingredients included in composed medicaments) in popular medical treatment methods.Trade ReviewThe book was preceded by multi-faceted analytical research, whose results were successively presented both in numerous academic papers and lectures as well as at national and international conferences. These, and especially the interdisciplinary international symposia, formed opportunity to gather enough critical feedback, commentaries and evaluations of the project to introduce required modifications in the research. Thereby the concept of the book resulted from a polemic interaction, which necessarily improved the final output. As a result a synthetic volume has been composed, which constitutes a comprehensive presentation of the issues which have not been subject to such a manifold exposition so far. It should be noted that the book has been written by three authors, each specializing in the field for a long time, and thereby having acquired much expertise. -- Piotr Kochanek, KUL

  • Joker

    Instituto Monsa de Ediciones Joker

    Book SynopsisThe acclaimed "Clown Prince of Crime," Joker. A character with a physical appearance characterised by a disfigured face, white skin, green dyed hair, and red lips. A psychopathic genius with a sadistic and twisted humour. A lover of weapons to which he always gives a comic touch; his jack-in-the-boxes and cigarette shaped explosives are a classic in his craziest plans with deadly results. Joker has had countless scriptwriters and cartoonists who have shaped his personality and appearance. Much of the fame achieved by this villain comes from the actors who have played him on the big screen. Each actor who has given life to the character has taken a different path, and each of them is remembered by the character's followers for different reasons. Without a doubt, thanks to them, the character is more popular than ever. Worthy of mention is the voice over in the animated series by the incomparable Mark Hamill, while on television he was brought to life by César Romero (1966-1968), and in the cinema by Jack Nicholson (1989), Heath Ledger (2008), Jared Leto (2016), and finally the extraordinary Joaquin Phoenix (2019). AUTHOR: Eva Minguet is a creative based in Barcelona and author of several books including the popular Women's Club, Wes Anderson Tribute, Tarantino, Stranger Things, and Twin Peaks.
