Karen V. Beaman, "Advancing Socio-grammatical Variation and Change: In Honour of Jenny Cheshire "
English | ISBN: 0367244799 | 2020 | 446 pages | EPUB | 8 MB
This groundbreaking collection showcases Jenny Cheshire's influential work in bringing greater attention to quantitative analysis of socio-grammatical variation and builds upon her contributions with new lines of inquiry pushing sociolinguistic research forward. Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, the volume is structured in six parts with a particular focus on syntactic, morpho-syntactic, and discourse-pragmatic variation and change, each section turning a lens on a different aspect of socio-grammatical variation. The first sections of the volume focus on the role of structure, its relevance for sociolinguistic production and perception and the impact of social structure on formal structure. Two sections look at the interface of variationist research with other aspects of linguistic research, including generative syntax and discourse-pragmatic features. The final sections consider the importance of integrating broader external factors in socio-grammatical variation, exploring the impact of interactional pressures in the sociolinguistic environment and the role of multi-ethnic contact varieties. Taken together, this volume demonstrates the critical role of socio-grammatical variation in our understanding of language change as a holistic process.

David Clampin, "Advertising and Propaganda in World War II: Cultural Identity and the Blitz Spirit "
English | ISBN: 1780764340 | 2014 | 296 pages | PDF | 15 MB
The Blitz- the period of Nazi bombing campaigns on civilian Britain during World War II- was a formative period for British national identity. In this groundbreaking book, David Clampin looks at the images, campaigns and slogans which helped to form the fabled 'Blitz spirit'- powerfully echoed in Winston Churchill's speeches. Because advertisers attempted to capitalise on war-time patriotism, Clampin's unique focus on advertising provides a visually rich seam of new information on the everyday war, and makes an enormous contribution to the debate on people's experiences of war and nationalism. Using a remarkable and hitherto unseen range of primary source material-advertisements in the press, slogans and posters-this work will reshape the contested meanings of the 'Home Front', opening up cultural history discourses on gender and nationalism. Advertising and Propaganda in World War II is essential reading for historians of World War II as well as students and scholars of Media Studies and Communication Studies.

Peter Childs, "Aesthetics and Ethics in Twenty-First Century British Novels: Zadie Smith, Nadeem Aslam, Hari Kunzru and David Mitchell"
English | ISBN: 1441114270 | 2013 | 192 pages | PDF | 1289 KB
A fresh set of concerns face the twenty-first century British novelist. In this study of the four key novelists Zadie Smith, Nadeem Aslam, Hari Kunzru and David Mitchell, the the changes in narrative approaches and critical directions of a new post-1989 fiction are explored.

Close readings of the writers are informed by a range of contemporary theorists, critics and commentators to reveal the emphases of twenty-first century fiction. Terror, fear, consumerism, multinationalism, and corporatism: the terms circulating in culture and social networks are evident in Smith's faith in ethical living, Aslam's consideration of multiculturalism, the novels Kunzru builds around the politics of identity and in the importance Mictchell places on the interconnectedness of human life. By putting the emergence of a new British literary dynamic in the context of ethical as well as global contexts, this study analyzes the transformed fictional perceptions of a world no longer defined by the stand off of super powers.

Maria-Alina Asavei, "Aesthetics, Disinterestedness, and Effectiveness in Political Art"
English | ISBN: 1498566790 | 2018 | 194 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Should politically concerned and engaged artistic production disregard questions or/and requirements of aesthetic reception and value? Whether art should be "aesthetic" or "political" is not a new question. Therefore, in spite of those several contemporary approaches of this issue, the answer is not set in stone and the debate is still going on. This volume aims to broaden these debates and it stems from numerous conversations with politically engaged artists and artist collectives on issues related to the "aesthetitzation of politics" versus the "politicization of art," as well as the phenomenon of the so-called "unhealthy aestheticism" in political art. Thus, this study has three interrelated aims: Firstly, it aims to offer an interdisciplinary account of the relationship between art and politics and between aesthetics and the political. Secondly, it attempts to explore what exactly makes artistic production a strong - yet neglected - field of political critique when democratic political agency, history from below and identity politics are threatened. Finally, to illuminate the relationship between critical political theory, on the one hand, and the philosophy of art, on the other by highlighting artworks' moral, political and epistemic abilities to reveal, criticize, problematize and intervene politically in our political reality.

Wilferd Madelung, "Affirming the Imamate: Early Fatimid Teachings in the Islamic West: An Arabic critical edition and English translation o"
English | ISBN: 0755637313 | 2021 | 248 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The two sermons edited and translated here for the first time are primary material from the years before the establishment of the Fatimid caliphate in 297/909. The authors have been identified as Abu 'Abd Allah al-Shi'i and Abu'l-'Abbas Muhammad, two brothers who were central to the success of the Ismaili da'wa in North Africa. Da'wa, a term used to describe how Muslims teach others about the beliefs and practices of their Islamic faith, therefore provide a unique view of the nature and development of Islam throughout history. In this case, the primary texts shed light on the development of Islam among the Berbers of the Maghreb.

The first text by Abu 'Abd Allah al-Shi'i shows how the arguments for belief in the 'imamate' of the family of the Prophet, that is, the Shi'a belief that all imams should be spiritual descendants of the Prophet Muhammad and his household, were developed and presented to bring new adherents to the cause.

Peter Marsden, "Afghanistan: Aid, Armies and Empires "
English | ISBN: 1845117514 | 2009 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB
As the battle for Afghanistan intensifies, with humanitarian workers increasingly finding themselves on the frontline, aid expert Peter Marsden draws on decades of personal experience in the country to unravel the relationship between great power politics and development, from the Great Game era to the present day. Whilst the US has recently been criticised for blurring the distinctions between military and humanitarian operations, the use of aid to further great power strategic objectives is, Marsden finds, nothing new. Examining the interventions of the British in the 19th Century, the Soviets in 1979, and the US in 2001, he brings to light significant new information on the use of aid in pursuit of strategic objectives. Drawing on his own experience, he explains the changing relationship between the aid community and different Afghan governments, including the Taliban. His rigorously argued conclusions are surprising and make compelling reading matter for military and humanitarian policymakers alike.

"Afghanistan: Aid, Armies and Empires" offers both a coruscating exploration of the relationship between aid and power, and a fresh and original history of Afghanistan through the prism of great power politics.

African Art as Philosophy: Senghor, Bergson, and the Idea of Negritude by Souleymane Bachir Diagne, translated by Chike Jeffers
English | September 5, 2023 | ISBN: 163542321X, 9781635423228 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 2.2 MB
This critically acclaimed study offers a distinct, incisive look at how Senegalese philosopher Senghor sees in African art the most acute expression of Bergson's philosophy.

Léopold Sédar Senghor (1906-2001) was a Senegalese poet and philosopher who in 1960 also became the first president of the Republic of Senegal. In African Art as Philosophy, Souleymane Bachir Diagne uses a unique approach to reading Senghor's influential works, taking as the starting point for his analysis Henri Bergson's idea that in order to understand philosophers, one must find the initial intuition from which every aspect of their work develops. In the case of Senghor, Diagne argues that his primordial intuition is that African art is a philosophy.
To further this point, Diagne looks at what Senghor called the "1889 Revolution" (the year Bergson's Time and Free Will was published), as well as the influential writers and publications of that period-specifically, Nietzsche and Rimbaud. The 1889 Revolution, Senghor claims, is what led him to the understanding of the "Vitalism" at the core of African religions and beliefs that found expression in the arts.

Carol Buchalter Stapp, "Afro-Americans in Antebellum Boston "
English | ISBN: 1138878170 | 2018 | 336 pages | EPUB | 8 MB
First published in 1993. The probate records of antebellum black Bostonians offer an ideal opportunity to compare the literature to a primary source, both in terms of content and method. Critical reviews of the scholarship, first, on black social history and, then, on probate inventories as historic sources precede an examination of the probate records themselves and a comparison of the literature to probate records. The study concludes by indicating that the shortcomings of probate records arise from their leaving much mysterious or misunderstood without recourse to other sources while their strengths residei n their intimate and subtle suggestions for understanding a purportedly inarticulate population.

Gregson Davis, "Afterlives of the Garden: Receptions of Epicurean Thought in the Early Empire and Late Antiquity "
English | ISBN: 3111021920 | 2023 | 190 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
The collection of essays in this volume offers fresh insights into varied modalities of reception of Epicurean thought among Roman authors of the late Republican and Imperial eras. Its generic purview encompasses prose as well as poetic texts by both minor and major writers in the Latin literary canon, including the anonymous poems, Ciris and Aetna, and an elegy from the Tibullan corpus by the female poet, Sulpicia. Major figures include the Augustan poets, Vergil and Horace, and the late antique Christian theologian, Augustine. The method of analysis employed in the essays is uniformly interdisciplinary and reveals the depth of the engagement of each ancient author with major preoccupations of Epicurean thought, such as the balanced pursuit of erotic pleasure in the context of human flourishing and the role of the gods in relation to human existence. The ensemble of nuanced interpretations testifies to the immense vitality of the Epicurean philosophical tradition throughout Greco-Roman antiquity and thereby provides a welcome and substantial contribution to the burgeoning field of reception studies.

Against Ambition: The Radical Potential of Giving Up by Bill Peel
English | 13 May 2025 | ISBN: 1915672031, 9781915672650 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 2 MB
Since the 1980s, ambition has become the driving logic of our world. We're told that everyone has always wanted to ascend to the heights of their societies. We're told that we can achieve anything we set our minds to and overcome any obstacle to live out our fantasies. And we're told that if we fail, we have nothing to blame but ourselves.

In Against Ambition, Bill Peel explores how capitalism created this cult of ambition and turned our lives into nothing more than goal-oriented investments. He shows how the ambitious life of hard work and self-sacrifice reinforces neoliberalism and turns all of us into little more than failed versions of the selves we dream of becoming. Rather than political actors capable of creating a better world, capitalist ambition turns all of us into individual climbers on the social ladder, foreclosing the possibility of collective action.
Where capitalist ambition turns life into an investment strategy, driven by the "rise and grind" mentality, passive income side hustles and ruthless corporate backstabbing, Against Ambition makes the case for the radical potential of giving up, arguing instead that we should be able to waste our time however we see fit.

Against Borges: Four Women Writers of His Inner Circles (Iberian and Latin American Studies) by Patricia N. Klingenberg
English | April 4, 2025 | ISBN: 1837722048 | True EPUB | 264 pages | 2.4 MB
Situates the work of four women writers who were part of Borges's circle in the history of women's writing generally, drawing on feminist theory from Europe and North America as well as from Latin American perspectives.

Against Borges examines four women writers-Norah Lange, Silvina Ocampo, Estela Canto, and Silvina Bullrich-who are not often considered together, but who each had their literary start within the close-knit circles dominated by Jorge Luis Borges in Buenos Aires's mid-twentieth century. The title plays with the double meaning of the word "against," signifying opposed or resistant, but also touching or supported by. In each case, the writers benefited from early support by Borges, but eventually found their own voices, different from his and also from each other's. These writers struggled as much as their nineteenth-century counterparts to find ways to represent in fiction a particularly feminine subjectivity. This study acknowledges their similarities and also highlights their originality. More importantly, it seeks to undo some of the misperceptions about them that persist to the present day, especially regarding their paths through the fraught politics of Argentina's twentieth century.
