Plunder?: How Museums Got Their Treasures by Justin M. Jacobs
English | October 10, 2024 | ISBN: 1789149487 | True EPUB | 240 pages | 5.6 MB
A provocative reassessment of a popular narrative that connects museums, the antiquities trade, and theft.

In this thought-provoking new work, historian Justin M. Jacobs challenges the widely accepted belief that much of Western museums' treasures were acquired by imperialist plunder and theft. The account reexamines the allegedly immoral provenance of Western collections, advocating for a nuanced understanding of how artifacts reached Western shores. Jacobs examines the perspectives of Chinese, Egyptian, and other participants in the global antiquities trade over the past two and a half centuries, revealing that Western collectors were often willingly embraced by locals. This collaborative dynamic, largely ignored by contemporary museum critics, unfolds a narrative of hope and promise for a brighter, more equitable future-a compelling reassessment of one of the institutional pillars of the Enlightenment.

Pocket Guide to The Fountainhead By Walter Donway, David Kelley
2023 | 67 Pages | ISBN: 1734960582 | PDF | 1 MB
The Fountainhead is the story of Howard Roark, a brilliant architect who stands alone against the hostility of conventional architects and a society that prizes conformity over innovation. The theme, in Ayn Rand's words, is "individualism versus collectivism, not in politics, but in man's soul." The theme is embodied in Roark's conflicts with a socialist who schemes to destroy him; a media magnate whose trashy newspaper plays to the masses but, despite himself, becomes Roark's closest friend; and a beautiful woman who loves Roark but works to undermine him. In the course of the novel, Roark's interactions with these and other characters bring out the true nature of independence and of man's creative potential.The Pocket Guide to The Fountainhead, by The Atlas Society, is a thorough, quick, and easy-to-use readers' tool for fans and first-time readers alike. It includes a complete Description synopsis of the novel and an alphabetical guide to the novel's cast of characters. Whether you are reading the novel for the first time or the fifteenth, this Pocket Guide will help you stay abreast of all the twists and turns in Rand's epic portrayal of creators on strike.

Michel Chaouli, "Poetic Critique: Encounters with Art and Literature "
English | ISBN: 3110688573 | 2021 | 212 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Poetic critique - is that not an oxymoron? Do these two forms of behavior, the poetic and the critical, not pull in different, even opposite, directions? For many scholars working in the humanities today, they largely do, but that has not always been the case. Friedrich Schlegel, for one, believed that critique worthy of its name must itself be poetic. Only then would it stand a chance of responding adequately to the work of art.

Taking Schlegel's idea of poetische Kritik as a starting point, this volume reflects on the possibility of drawing these alleged opposites closer together. In light of current debates about the legacy of critique, it investigates whether a concept such as poetic critique (or poetic criticism) lends itself to enriching our intellectual practice by engaging with the poetic potential of criticism and the critical value of art and literature.

Poetics in a New Key: Interviews and Essays by Marjorie Perloff, edited by David Jonathan Y. Bayot
English | October 29, 2014 | ISBN: 022619941X | True EPUB | 256 pages | 0.8 MB
Marjorie Perloff writes in her preface to Poetics in a New Key that when she learned David Jonathan Y. Bayot wanted to publish a collection of her interviews and essays, she was "at once honored and mystified." But to Perloff's surprise and her readers' delight, the resulting assembly not only presents an accessible and provocative introduction to Perloff's critical thought, but also highlights the wide range of her interests, and the energetic reassessments and new takes that have marked her academic career.

The fourteen interviews in Poetics in a New Key―conducted by scholars, poets, and critics from the United States, Denmark, Norway, France, and Poland, including Charles Bernstein, Hélène Aji, and Peter Nicholls―cover a broad spectrum of topics in the study of poetry: its nature as a literary genre, its current state, and its relationship to art, politics, language, theory, and technology. Also featured in the collection are three pieces by Perloff herself: an academic memoir, an exploration of poetry pedagogy, and an essay on twenty-first-century intellectuals. But across all the interviews and essays, Perloff's distinctive personality and approach to reading and talking resound, making this new collection an inspiring resource for scholars both of poetry and writing.

Jonah Radding, "Poetry and the Polis in Euripidean Tragedy "
English | ISBN: 0674278534 | 2022 | 236 pages | EPUB | 618 KB
Most critics agree that Euripidean tragedy addresses a wealth of political questions, and that it successfully incorporates and engages with a variety of ancient Greek poetic traditions. Nevertheless, these topics and questions have generally been treated separately. In this book, Jonah Radding contends that the political issues addressed in Euripides' tragedies are inextricably related to his employment of choral lyric genres such as paean and epinician, and to his engagement with canonical poetic texts such as the Iliad and Aeschylus' Agamemnon.

We see that Euripides consistently recasts traditional poetic genres and texts in order to dramatize and illuminate political questions that are central to his tragedies. At the same time, Radding suggests that the dramatic politicization of the poetic tradition also serves to question the manner in which ancient Athenians understood and utilized these various poetic forms in their own

Arthur Benz, "Policy Change and Innovation in Multilevel Governance "
English | ISBN: 1788119169 | 2021 | 200 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Based on theoretical and empirical research, this authoritative book explains why, how and under which conditions innovative policies are achievable in multilevel governance. Taking a forward-thinking approach, the book also addresses implications of the rise of multilevel governance for research and practice.

Arthur Benz explores multilevel governance both in relation to and beyond governments' responses to an increasing complexity of public policies. Chapters analyse how political authority is divided and policies have to be coordinated across jurisdictional boundaries. Utilizing case studies on energy and climate policy in transnational, national and local contexts, and on fiscal equalization in federations, Benz illuminates the interplay of policy change and institutional change, as well as the particular conditions that enable or constrain these mechanisms. The book concludes that complexity in multilevel systems of governance does not rule out policy innovation, but rather it establishes both favourable and constraining conditions for significant change.

Jasmin Sültemeyer, "Political Anxiety in Golden Age Children's Classics and Their Contemporary Adaptations "
English | ISBN: 3110742659 | 2021 | 300 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
As striking, counter-intuitive and distasteful as the combination of children and anxiety may seem, some of the most popular children's classics abound in depictions of traumatic relationships, bloody wars and helpless heroes. This book draws on Freudian and Lacanian anxiety models to investigate the psychological and political significance of this curious juxtaposition, as it stands out in Golden Age novels from both sides of the Atlantic and their present-day adaptations. The stories discussed in detail, so the argument goes, identify specific anxieties and forms of anxiety management as integral elements of hegemonial middle-class identity. Apart from its audacious link between psychoanalysis and Marxist, feminist, as well as postcolonial ideology criticism, this study provides a nuanced analysis of the ways in which allegedly trivial texts negotiate questions of individual and (trans)national identities. In doing so, it offers a fresh look at beloved tales like

Political Economy of Emerging Urban and Peri-urban Spaces in India: A Roadmap Towards Environmental and Social Sustainability by Mukunda Mishra, Vishwa Raj Sharma, Anjan Chakrabarti
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2025 | 276 Pages | ISBN : 9819788714 | 21.3 MB
This book addresses the "urban" and "peri-urban" spaces in India within a single frame. The reasoning is that while the former is studied for its transformation towards more value addition in terms of power and neoliberal economic viabilities, the latter is the land of visible transformation of the built environment. It acquaints readers with how the processes of circulation of migrant labour, the shift in occupations of landowning groups, and the residential cohabitation of diverse social groups contribute to re-scripting social relations, green spaces, and the forging of new subjectivities. The chapters of the book speak of the need to create sustainable cities for uncertain futures, with a quest to reverse global climate change and make an effort to halt urbanization at the cost of the natural ecosystem, all of which have become more urgent in the post-pandemic years. The book addresses different aspects of the evolutionary urban and peri-urban spaces in India amidst the conflict of the environmental and social sustainability agendas with the neo-liberal ascendancy. The integration of urban and peri-urban areas with emerging political and economic equations and the involvement of multiple disciplines to work in tandem for a deep insight into the complex phenomena incorporating diverse actors validate the need for such a volume.

This edited volume seeks to record how all these stakeholders-state agencies, political leaders, businessmen, workers, investors, households, builders, real estate intermediaries, business owners, migrants, and many more with their varying capacities to influence outcomes on the ground-interact with one another. It also shows how multiple power relationships are calibrated and recalibrated to produce urban and peri-urban spaces in diverse ways in many parts of India.

Political Illustration: The Visual Language of Propaganda, Censorship, and Dissent
by Catherine Moore, Megan Hauser
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1350337153 | 258 Pages | True PDF | 110 MB

Political Illustration introduces students of illustration, visual communication, art, and political science to how political illustration works, when it's used and why.
Through a variety of examples - from the coins of Julius Caesar to contemporary art challenging Indigenous American stereotypes - the book covers propaganda, the impact of media, censorship, and taboo, and the role of contentious politics and dissent art. A wide range of contemporary illustration mediums are included, including street art, the graphic novel, and mixed assemblage illustration, in order to examine the role of media and technique in political messaging. The book features breakout interviews and case studies on prominent global political illustrators (like Edel Rodriguez, Anita Kunz and Fabian Williams) and full color examples. The authors include an introduction to semiotics, visual grammar, and visual communication theory, and how these approaches contribute to the decoding of political messages - and how these tactics are used by those ruling, and those being ruled.
In particular, the authors look at political illustration, protest art and propaganda related to:
- American and European Imperialism
- Japanese internment
- The World Wars
- The Soviet Union and China
- Dictatorships in Africa and South America
- Civil Rights movements
- Contemporary protests and marches, including the Women's March (2017) and the Egyptian Revolution (2011)
- ...and many more periods, events and movements

Political Jouissance edited by Slavoj Žižek, Nicol A. Barria-Asenjo
English | September 19, 2024 | ISBN: 1350352756, 1350352748 | True EPUB | 236 pages | 0.4 MB
When we oppose or disagree with something important, do we ever really do it dispassionately? Isn't setting the world to rights or condemning a political opponent always done with a hint of relish, or at least enthusiasm? This book's challenging essays explore the modes in which that transgressive pleasure of political 'jouissance' operates.

Rather than delegitimizing or depoliticising, the tacit enjoyment of outrage can in fact facilitate different forms of engagement. The tendency for groups to be bonded by a common enemy, for example, brings with it a protection from censure or persecution, and a way of alleviating guilt. In this collection, the authors seek out jouissance in the battle against patriarchy, in social revolts, in the age of mechanical surveillance, in the necrosociety of neoliberalism, or the proliferation of conspiracy theories. Drawing on Lacan's insistence that jouissance is intrinsically political by its nature, we can understand how readily psychoanalytic ideas can be put to use across the geopolitical spectrum.

Political Violence: Historical, Philosophical and Theological Perspectives
by Panu-Matti Pöykkö, Pamela Slotte Russo
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3110999889 | 311 Pages | PDF | 1.8 MB

This volume brings together scholars from intellectual history, social sciences, philosophy and theology to evaluate central questions concerning political violence and aggression. This multidisciplinary collection of essays critically investigates forms and modes of justification of political violence from historical and contemporary perspectives, especially within the context of the development of the idea of Europe and modern European identity. What is meant by political violence and aggression? When and under which conditions is it justified? Who has the right to exercise it and against whom? Answers differ depending on various factors such as pre-established ends, available resources and possibilities of action, historical and socio-economic context, the ideological, political, and religious-theological background of the actors. The volume pays special attention to (a) how the above questions have been addressed and answered political, philosophical and theological thought, and (b) what kind of ideological currents and historical events lay at the background of such considerations.

Donald F. Kettl, "Politics of the Administrative Process"
English | ISBN: 1071875558 | 2023 | 480 pages | PDF | 25 MB
Efficient public administration requires a delicate balance between politics, accountability, and performance-bureaucracy must be powerful enough to be effective but also accountable to elected officials and citizens. Author Don Kettl understands that the push and pull of political forces in a democracy make the functions of bureaucracy both contentious and crucial. In The Politics of the Administrative Process, he gives students a realistic, relevant, and well-researched view of the field featuring engaging vignettes and rich examples from current events like the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ninth Edition has been thoroughly updated with an additional chapter, as well as new scholarship, data, and case studies, giving students multiple opportunities to apply ideas and analysis as they read.

Politics of the Ordinary: Care, Ethics, and Forms of Life (Ethics of Care) By S Laugier
2020 | 102 Pages | ISBN: 9042942495 | PDF | 1 MB
What is an ethics formulated in a "different voice"? This book develops the connection between ordinary language philosophy, represented by Wittgenstein and Austin, and the ethics of care. Care is at once a practical response to specific needs and a sensitivity to the ordinary details of human life that matter. The Ordinary has been variously denied, undervalued, or neglected - not taken into account - in theoretical thought. Such negligence, I propose, has to do with widespread contempt for ordinary life inasmuch as it is domestic and female. The disdain stems from the gendered hierarchy of objects deemed worthy of intellectual research. One important aspect of ordinary language philosophy is its capacity to call our attention to human expressiveness as embodied in women's voices. It thus provides the basis for a re-definition of philosophyas attention to ordinary life, and care for moral expression. This book proposes nothing less than a paradigm shift in ethics, with a reorientation towards vulnerability and a shift from the "just" to the "important."
