FINAN
70933
Author: Costas Lapavitsas
File Type: pdf
The turmoil of 2007-2009 is a crisis of financialised capitalism, and for this reason it is systemic and unusual. The crisis commenced in the sphere of finance, spread to production, and then became a world recession. Its unusual character is apparent since never before has a global economic crisis been triggered by banks lending to workers to buy houses. Moreover, state intervention to forestall the crisis becoming a major depression has been unprecedented. This book brings together several well-known political economists to analyse the domestic and international aspects of financialisation, thus putting the crisis in its appropriate context. It draws on Marxist and other heterodox economics to cast light on the broader implications of financialisation and crisis for society. **

Author: Thomas Mira Y Lopez
File Type: epub
The Book of Resting Places is Mira y Lopezs account of his travels, from a cemetery to a crematorium to a cryonics company . . . Hes looking for the good death, somewhere, anywhere. *The New Yorker* In the aftermath of his fathers untimely death and his familys indecision over what to do with the remains, Thomas Mira y Lopez became obsessed with the type and variety of places where we lay the dead to rest. The result is a singular collection of essays that weaves together history, mythology, journalism, and personal narrative into the authors search for a place to process grief. Mira y Lopez explores unusual hallowed groundsfrom the worlds largest cryonics institute in southern Arizona to a set of Roman catacombs being digested by modern bacteria, to his familys burial plots in the mountains outside Rio de Janeiro to a nineteenth-century desert cemetery that was relocated for the building of a modern courthouse. The Book of Resting Places examines these overlooked spaces and what they tell us about ourselves and the passing of those we lovehow we grieve them, and how we attempt to forget them. **

THE Y
143002
Author: Erik J. Zürcher
File Type: pdf
The grand narrative of The Young Turk Legacy and Nation Building is that of the essential continuity of the late Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Turkey that was founded in 1923. Erik Jan Zurcher shows that Kemals ideological toolkit, which included positivism, militarism, nationalism and a state-centred world view, was shared by many other Young Turks. Authoritarian rule, a one-party state, a legal framework based on European principles, advanced European-style bureaucracy, financial administration, military and educational reforms and state-control of Islam, can all be found in the late Ottoman Empire, as can policies of demographic engineering. The book focuses on the attempts of the Young Turks to save their empire through forced modernization as well as on the attempts of their Kemalist successors to build a strong national state. The decade of almost continuous warfare, ethnic conflict and forced migration between 1911 and 1922 forms the background to these attempts and accordingly occupies a central position in this volume.This is a powerful history reflecting and contributing to the latest research from a leading historian of modern Turkey. It is essential for all readers interested in the history of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, and for an understanding of a key player in the politics of the Middle East and Europe.

Author: Elizabeth Sauer
File Type: pdf
Sauer investigates the texts discursive practices and the politics of their orchestration of voice exploring the ways in which Miltons multivocal poems interrogated dominant structures of authority in the seventeenth century and constructed in their place a community of voices characterized by dissonances. She incorporates different critical responses to Miltons texts into her argument as a way of contextualizing her own historically engaged approach. By injecting concepts such as multiple narrators and genres, open forms, strategic deferrals, and the exchanges between the poetic voices and discourses of the early modern period, Sauer tells us something about how the poems spoke to their own time as well as how they may be recuperated to speak to ours.**

ARIST

Author: Cristiano Casalini
File Type: pdf
Aristotle in Coimbra is the first book to cover the history of both the College of Arts in Coimbra and its most remarkable cultural product, the Cursus Conimbricensis, examining early Jesuit pedagogy as performed in one of the most important colleges run by the Society of Jesus in the sixteenth century. The first complete philosophical textbook published by a Jesuit college, the Cursus Conimbricensis (15921606) was created by some of the most renowned early Jesuit philosophers and comprised seven volumes of commentaries and disputations on Aristotles writings, which had formed the foundation of the university philosophy curriculum since the Middle Ages. In Aristotle in Coimbra, Cristiano Casalini demonstrates the connection between educational practices in a sixteenth-century college and the structure of a scholastic philosophical commentary, providing insight into this particular form of late-scholastic Aristotelianism through historiographical discourse. This book provides both a narrative of the historical background behind the publication of the Cursus and an analysis of the major philosophical and educational issues addressed by its seven volumes. It is valuable reading for all those interested in intellectual history, the history of education and the history of philosophy. **Review Aristotle in Coimbra received the Joaquim de Carvalho Award, 2016, from the University of Coimbra. About the Author hr Cristiano Casalini teaches the history of education at the University of Parma. He has worked on critical texts and commentaries of sixteenth and seventeenth-century classics of education, especially in and around the Jesuit order. With Claude Pavur SJ he co-edited Jesuit Pedagogy (15401616) A Reader (2016). He is currently a Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies and a Visiting Professor at the Lynch School of Education, both at Boston College.

SATIN
9000
Author: Tom McCarthy
File Type: azw3
When we first meet U., the narrator of SATIN ISLAND, he is sitting in the airport at Turin, caught in a delay caused by a rogue airplane. Like everyone else in the waiting area, he is sifting through airport pages on his laptop, and then through news sites, social pages, corridors of trivia...until he happens to stumble on information about an image on a famous shroud in Turin. The image itself isnt even visible on the shroud it only emerged when some amateur photographer looked at the negative of a shot hed taken and saw the figure--Christs body supine after crucifixion. Only in the negative the negative became a positive. A few decades later when the shroud was radiocarbon dated, it turned out to come from no later than the mid-thirteenth century. But that didnt trouble the believers. Things like that never do. A corporate ethnographer, U. is tasked with writing the Great Report. Yet at every turn, U. finds himself overwhelmed by the ubiquity of data, lost in a buffer zone and wandering through a crowd of apparitions. Meanwhile, Madison, the woman he is seeing, becomes increasingly elusive, much like the particulars in the case of the recent, highly-publicized parachutists death, with which U. is obsessed. He also develops a perverse interestin oil spills, spending great amounts of time watching loops of clean up videos. As U. begins to wonder if perhaps the Great Report will remain a shapeless, oozing plasma, his senses are reawakened by an ominous dream of an apocalyptic cityscape. SATIN ISLAND is a novel that captures the way we experience the world today, our efforts to find meaning, to stay awake, and discern the narratives we think of as our lives

CRITI
59905
Author: Leo Lowenthal
File Type: pdf
This fourth and final collection of Lowenthals writings rounds out our understanding of his intellectual history. It begins with his essays on Jewish intellectuals in Germany from the late eighteenth century to the Weimar period. It continues through 1926, when he became one of the earliest members of the founding generation of Critical Theory at the University of Frankfurt. The core of this volume is its presentation of Lowenthals sixty-year-long intellectual career as a critical theorist and sociologist. The book includes some of his speeches on Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin and presents excerpts from conversations on various aspects of his life as a scholar and teacher, as managing editor of the Institutes famous journal, as government servant during and immediately after the war, and as observer and critic of the contemporary cultural and political scene. Together these selections present an intriguing biographical panorama of a major intellectual figure of this century as he nears his ninetieth birthday. Though the volume is largely retrospective, Lowenthal also deals provocatively-with contemporary issues in post-Nazi Germany. As Robert N. Wilson observed in a review of the second volume in the Communication in Society series, Lowenthars long career in the United States is a sterling example of the benefits the American academic community derived from the murderous idiocy of Nazi Germany, since he was one of the most prominent among the emigre intellectuals of the 1930s.... C. Wright Mills defined the task of the sociologist as lying at the intersection of biography and history. This is the precise location of Lowenthals scrutiny.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 Excerpt ... longitude of the cities of Chinese Turkestan, in accordance with Captain Montgomeries approximate determination of Yarkand, arises from the impossibility of reconciling this with the difference between Ilchi and Yarkand in the Jesuit Tables. This amounts in those Tables to 4 18 whilst the collation of Montgomeries position of Yarkand with the Jesuit position of Ilchi reduces it to 2 61, and with the position which the formers own data induced him to assign to Ilchi it comes down to 1 30. It had indeed long been pretty certain that the Jesuit position of Ilchi was too far east and a communication, for which I have had to thank Captain Montgomerie since this went to press, reports later data obtained by Colonel Walker (who will no doubt publish them in detail) as fixing Ilchi approximatively to longitude 79 25 and latitude 37 8. This longitude I have adopted in my map, whilst in regard to Yarkand I have stretched Captain Montgomeries data westward as far as their circumstances seemed to justify (perhaps further than he would admit), assigning to it a longitude of 77. This is still 36 further east than the assignment of any previous map, whilst it reduces the discrepancy from the Jesuit data in relation to Ilchi, though still leaving it inevitably large. Next to this general uncertainty about the longitudes the great geographical puzzle about this region appears to be the identity of the main source of the Oxus. In addition to Woods River, which he traced to the Sirikul Lake, most maps represent another, a longer and therefore perhaps greater, feeder from a more northern source, under the name of the River of Bolor or Wakhsh. Nor has the narrative of Woods journey through the district of Wakhan yet displaced from our maps another position assign...
