De Facto States in Eurasia

De Facto States in Eurasia

This book explores the phenomenon of de facto states in Eurasia: states such as Abkhazia Nagorno-Karabakh and the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic. It examines how they are formed what sustains them and how their differing development trajectories have unfolded. It argues that most of these de facto states have been formed with either direct or indirect support from Russia but they all have their own internal logic and are not simply puppets in the hands of a powerful patron. The book provides detailed case studies and draws out general patterns and compares present-day de facto states with de facto states which existed in the past.

De-Pathologizing Resistance Anthropological Interventions

De-Pathologizing Resistance Anthropological Interventions

In a time of renewed interest in insurrectionary movements urban protest and anti-austerity indignation the idea of resistance is regaining its relevance in social theory. De-Pathologizing Resistance re-examines resistance as a concept that can aid social analysis highlighting the dangers of pathologising resistance as illogical and abnormal or exoticising it in romanticised but patronising terms. Taking a de-pathologising and de-exoticising perspective this book brings together insights from older and newer studies the intellectual biographies of its contributing authors and case studies of resistance in diverse settings such as Egypt Greece Israel and Mexico. From feminist studies to plaza occupations and anti-systemic uprisings there is an emerging need to connect the analysis of contemporary protest movements under a broader theoretical re-examination. The idea of resistance—with all of its contradictions and its dynamism—provides such a challenging opportunity. This book was originally published as a special issue of History and Anthropology. | De-Pathologizing Resistance Anthropological Interventions

Farewell to Farms De-Agrarianisation and Employment in Africa

Farewell to Farms De-Agrarianisation and Employment in Africa

First published in 1997 this volume asks whether Africa’s future is necessarily rooted in peasant agriculture. The title of this book Farewell to Farms is deliberately intended to challenge the widely held view that Africa is the world’s reserve for peasant farming. African rural populations are themselves moving away from a reliance on agriculture. ‘De-agrarianisation’ takes the form of urban migration as well as the expansion of non-agricultural activities in rural areas providing new income sources occupations and social identities for rural dwellers. Using recent continent-wide case study evidence the authors assess the impact of de-agrarianisation on household welfare business performance and national development. Their findings which reveal new economic trajectories and social patterns emerging from a period of accelerated change call into question assumptions about Africa’s future place in the world division of labour. | Farewell to Farms De-Agrarianisation and Employment in Africa

Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron composed in the 1540s and first published posthumously in 1558 and 1559 has long been an interpretive puzzle. De Navarre (1492-1549) sister of King Francis I of France was a controversial figure in her lifetime. Her evangelical activities and proximity to the Crown placed her at the epicenter of her country’s internecine strife and societal unrest. Yet her short stories appear to offer few traces of the sociopolitical turbulence that surrounded her. In Marguerite de Navarre’s Shifting Gaze however Elizabeth Zegura argues that the Heptaméron’s innocuous appearance camouflages its serious insights into patriarchy and gender social class and early modern French politics which emerge from an analysis of the text’s shifting perspectives. Zegura’s approach which focuses on visual cues and alternative standpoints and viewing positions within the text hinges upon foregrounding les choses basses (lowly things) to which the devisante (storyteller) Oisille draws our attention in nouvelle (novella) 2 of the Heptaméron using this downward archaeological gaze to excavate layers of the text that merit more extensive critical attention. While her conclusions cast a new light on the literature life and times of Marguerite de Navarre they are nevertheless closely aligned with recent scholarship on this important historical and literary figure. | Marguerite de Navarre's Shifting Gaze Perspectives on gender class and politics in the Heptaméron

The Politics of International Interaction with de facto States Conceptualising Engagement without Recognition

The Politics of International Interaction with de facto States Conceptualising Engagement without Recognition

This comprehensive volume is the first systematic effort to explore the ways in which recognised states and international organisations interact with secessionist ‘de facto states’ while maintaining the position that they are not regarded as independent sovereign actors in the international system. It is generally accepted by policy makers and scholars that some interaction with de facto states is vital if only to promote a resolution of the underlying conflict that led to their decision to break away and yet this policy of ‘engagement without recognition’ is not without complications and controversy. This book analyses the range of issues and problems that such interaction inevitably raises. The authors highlight fundamental questions of sovereignty conflict management and resolution settlement processes foreign policy and statehood. This book will be of interest to policy makers students and researchers of international relations. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Ethnopolitics. | The Politics of International Interaction with de facto States Conceptualising Engagement without Recognition

Multiple Modernities Carmen de Burgos Author and Activist

Multiple Modernities Carmen de Burgos Author and Activist

This collection of essays confirms Carmen de Burgos’s pivotal place in Spanish feminist history by bringing together eminent international scholars who offer new readings of Burgos’s work. It includes the analyses of a number of lesser-known texts both fictional and non-fictional which give us a more comprehensive examination of Burgos’s multipronge feminist approach. Burgos’s works especially her essays are essential feminist reading and complement other European and North American traditions. Gaining familiarity with the breadth and depth of her work serves not only to provide an understanding of Spanish firstwave feminism but also enriches our appreciation of cultural studies gender studies subaltern studies and travel literature. Looking at the entirety of her life and work and the wide-ranging contributions in this volume it is evident that Burgos embodied the tensions between tradition and modernity depicting multiple representations of womanhood. Encouraging women to take ownership of their personal fashion the design of their homes and the decorum of their families were steps towards recognizing a female population that was cognizant of its own desires. | Multiple Modernities Carmen de Burgos Author and Activist

Four Philosophical Anglicans W.G. De Burgh W.R. Matthews O.C. Quick H.A. Hodges

Four Philosophical Anglicans W.G. De Burgh W.R. Matthews O.C. Quick H.A. Hodges

Professor Sell explores the lives and ideas of four unjustly neglected Anglican philosophers: W. G. De Burgh (1866-1943); W. R. Matthews (1881-1973); O. C. Quick (1885-1944); H. A. Hodges (1905-1976). This study fills an important gap in the history of twentieth-century philosophical and theological thought. Sell argues that these writers covered a wide range of philosophical topics in an illuminating way and that a comparison of their respective standpoints and methods is instructive from the point of view of the viability or otherwise of Christian philosophizing. He discusses the challenges these four philosophical Anglicans issued to certain important trends in the philosophy and theology of their day and argues that some of them are of continuing relevance. | Four Philosophical Anglicans W.

Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

The unifying theme in this second volume of essays by William A. Wallace to be published in the Variorum series is signaled in the title of the opening paper: 'Domingo de Soto and the Iberian roots of Galileo's science'. The seven essays in the first part provide textual studies of Soto's early formulations of the laws of falling bodies the context in which they were developed in the 16th century and the ways in which they were transmitted in Spain and Portugal to the early 17th century mainly by Jesuit scholars. The following essays focus on the young Galileo and his work at Pisa and Padua leading to his discovery of the law of uniform acceleration in free fall. Textual evidence is presented for an indirect influence of Soto's work on Galileo mediated by Jesuits who were teaching at Padua in the first decade of the 17th century. | Domingo de Soto and the Early Galileo Essays on Intellectual History

Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico Puebla de los Ángeles Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries

Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico presents a fascinating survey of urban history between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It chronicles the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles a city located in central-south Mexico during its viceregal period. Founded in 1531 the city was established as a Spanish settlement surrounded by important Indigenous towns. This situation prompted a colonial city that developed along Spanish colonial guidelines but became influenced by the native communities that settled in it creating one of the most architecturally rich cities in colonial Spanish America from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. This book covers the city's historical background investigating its civic and religious institutions as represented in selected architectural landmarks. Throughout the narrative Burke weaves together sociological anthropological and historical analysis to discuss the city’s architectural and urban development. Written for academics students and researchers interested in architectural history Latin American studies and the Spanish American viceregal period it will make an important contribution to the field. | Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico Puebla de los Ángeles Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries

De-Idealizing Relational Theory A Critique From Within

De-Idealizing Relational Theory A Critique From Within

Self-examination and self-critique: for psychoanalytic patients this is the conduit to growth. Yet within the field psychoanalysts haven’t sufficiently utilized their own methodology or subjected their own preferred approaches to systematic and critical self-examination. Across theoretical divides psychoanalytic writers and clinicians have too often responded to criticism with defensiveness rather than reflectivity. De-Idealizing Relational Theory attempts to rectify this for the relational field. This book is a first in the history of psychoanalysis; it takes internal dissension and difference seriously rather than defensively. Rather than saying that the other’s reading of relational theory is wrong distorted or a misrepresentation this book is interested in querying how theory lends itself to such characterizations. How have psychoanalysts participated in conveying this portrayal to their critics? Might this dissension illuminate blind-spot(s) and highlight new areas of growth? It's a challenge to engage in psychoanalytic self-critique. To do so requires that we move beyond our own assumptions and deeply held beliefs about what moves the treatment process and how we can best function within it. To step aside from ourselves to question the assumed to take the critiques of others seriously demands more than an absence of defensiveness. It requires that we step into the shoes of the psychoanalytic Other and suspend not only our theories but our emotional investment in them. There are a range of ways in which our authors took up that challenge. Some revisted the assumptions that underlay early relational thinking and expanded their sources (Greenberg & Aron). Some took up specific aspects of relational technique and unpacked their roots and evolution (Mark Cooper). Some offered an expanded view of what constitutes relational theory and technique (Seligman Corbett Grossmark). Some more directly critiqued aspects of relational theory and technique (Berman Stern). And some took on a broader critique of relational theory or technique (Layton Slochower). Unsurprisingly no single essay examined the totality of relational thinking its theoretical and clinical implications. This task would be herculean both practically and psychologically. We're all invested in aspects of what we think and what we do; at best we examine some but never all of our assumptions and ideas. We recognize retrospectively how very challenging a task this was; it asked writers to engage in what we might think of as a self-analysis of the countertransference. Taken together these essays represent a significant effort at self-critique and we are enormously proud of it. Each chapter critically assesses and examines aspects of relational theory and technique considers its current state and its relations to other psychoanalytic approaches. De-Idealizing Relational Theory will appeal to all relational psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists. | De-Idealizing Relational Theory A Critique From Within
