Embossing, Punching and Guilloche Engraving - - Bog - Arnoldsche - Plusbog.dk

Embossing, punching and guilloché engraving are techniques that have almost faded into oblivion. Today they are experiencing a new lease of life in contemporary jewelry. The Manufactory-Style Jewelry Design project fosters the passing down of experiential knowledge through the collaboration of artisans and designers from three generations. The book presents an excerpt of this success story by means of archive material and interviews with former masters, explains how the machines work, and illustrates contemporary examples. Text in English and German.

Punching Back - Jasmijn Rana - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

Punching Back - Jasmijn Rana - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

In the Netherlands, girls and young women are increasingly active in women-only kickboxing. The general assumption, in the Netherlands and in western Europe more broadly, is that women’s sport is a form of secular, feminist empowerment. Muslim women’s participation would then exemplify the incongruence of Islam with the modern, secular nation-state. Punching Back provides a detailed ethnographic study that contests this view by showing that young Muslim women who kickbox establish agentive selves by playing with gender norms, challenging expectations, and living out their religious subjectivities.

Punching Above Our Weight - David A. Borys - Bog - The Dundurn Group - Plusbog.dk

Punching Above Our Weight - David A. Borys - Bog - The Dundurn Group - Plusbog.dk

THE HILL TIMES TOP 100 BOOKS OF 2024 Punching Above Our Weight takes readers on a riveting exploration spanning one hundred and fifty years of Canadian forces. This photograph-rich history of 150 years of the Canadian military traces the evolution of the country’s armed forces from a small, underfunded, poorly trained militia to the modern, effective military it is today. From the Red River Resistance and the Boer War through the world wars to modern peacekeeping and the long war in Afghanistan, David A. Borys details the conflicts and operations that Canadian soldiers have served in. He highlights the key battles, among them Amiens, the Scheldt Estuary, and Operation Medusa; the significant people, including Louis Riel, Arthur Currie, and Guy Simonds; and the decisive moments, such as the passing of conscription in August 1917, Canada’s declaration of war in 1939, and the peacekeeping crises of the 1990s, that came to define the scope of Canada’s participation in international conflicts and cement its global reputation.Borys also explores the challenges that the Canadian nation and its military have faced over those years, including major cultural and demographic shifts, a continual struggle for resources from generally disinterested governments, battlefield failures, and notorious and shocking scandals, along with ever-changing global threats. Punching Above Our Weight brings to light a new perspective on the Canadian military and its place in the world.

The Success of Small States in International Relations - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Success of Small States in International Relations - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Success of Small States in International Relations highlights the normality and power of small states in international relations. This book overturns the stereotype that small states, however defined, are weak and are, or ought to be, consigned to the margins of international relations. It argues that small states are not ‘punching above their weight’, or even anomalies – since it is large states which are the anomaly in the global system. The text unpacks the nature and character of small state success, while also looking critically at thirteen episodes in modern history where small states, singly or collectively, emerged victorious in confrontations with larger states. The case studies, globally sourced, are bookended by conceptual and analytic reviews of what these events mean for diplomacy, international relations and small states more generally. This book will appeal to scholars and students of comparative political science and international relations, particularly from small states, as well as policy makers and senior small state government officers.

Punching Up in Stand-Up Comedy - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Punching Up in Stand-Up Comedy - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Punching Up in Stand-Up Comedy explores the new forms, voices and venues of stand-up comedy in different parts of the world and its potential role as a counterhegemonic tool for satire, commentary and expression of identity especially for the disempowered or marginalised. The title brings together essays and perspectives on stand-up and satire from different cultural and political contexts across the world which raise pertinent issues regarding its role in contemporary times, especially with the increased presence of OTT platforms and internet penetration that allows for easy access to this art form. It examines the theoretical understanding of the different aspects of the humour, aesthetics and politics of stand-up comedy, as well as the exploration of race, gender, politics and conflicts, urban culture and LGBTQ+ identities in countries such as Indonesia, Finland, France, Iran, Italy, Morocco, India and the USA. It also asks the question whether, along with contesting and destabilising existing discursive frameworks and identities, a stand-up comic can open up a space for envisaging a new social, cultural and political order? This book will appeal to people interested in performance studies, media, popular culture, digital culture, sociology, digital sociology and anthropology, and English literature. Chapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) 4.0 license. Funded by the University of Helsinki.

Bag masker - Steen Harvig - Bog - Trykværket - Plusbog.dk

Bag masker - Steen Harvig - Bog - Trykværket - Plusbog.dk

Axel Q. Ortman er i slutningen af 40'erne, skilt for nylig og måske en person i krise. I hvert fald er han taget til den græske ø Skopolos for muligvis at begynde forfra eller for at undersøge en ung kvindes forsvinden - eller også er han blot en turist blandt flere på rejse til et sted, han ikke har været før. Bag ham skjuler en skygge sig, en person, der følger ham overalt, og som har aflæst alle hans rutiner, hans bevægelser rundt på øen, hans vaner, hans gøren og laden frem til og med den dag, hvor Ortman beslutter sig for en længere vandretur op i det øde bjergområde bag byen... Den sygdomsramte Carl Hansen og hans yngre politikollega Morten Krag søger svaret på Ortmans skæbne og flere andres, men de støder på masker overalt, derfor må de søge bag om... Bag masker. Bag masker er Steen Harvigs 10. solokrimi.
