Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent From the Mauryas to the Mughals

Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent From the Mauryas to the Mughals

Dedicated to the tracing of continuity across sectarian divides Christopher Tadgell’s History of Architecture in India (1989) was the first modern monograph to draw together in one volume all the strands of India’s pre-colonial architectural history – from the Vedic and Native traditions of early India through Hindu Buddhist Islamic and secular architecture. This comprehensive revision Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent: From the Mauryas to the Mughals expands the structure to acknowledge the great advance in scholarship across this extremely complex subject over the last three decades. An understanding of Indian history and religion is the basis for understanding the complex pattern of relationships in the evolution of architecture in the subcontinent. Therefore background material covers major invasions migrations dynastic conflicts and cultural and commercial connections the main religious developments and their significance and repercussions and external architectural precedents. While avoiding the usual division of the subject into ‘Buddhist and Hindu’ and ‘Islamic’ parts in order to trace continuity the importance of religion symbolism and myth to the development of characteristic Indian architectural forms in all their richness and complexity is fully explained in this fully illustrated account of the subcontinent’s architecture. | Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent From the Mauryas to the Mughals

Europe Contested From the Kaiser to Brexit

Europe Contested From the Kaiser to Brexit

Europe Contested analyses the failures and achievements of an astonishing era of economic advance and political chaos from the First World War up to the present day. Beginning with the Great War the book goes on to examine connections between the self-destruction of liberal democracy market economics and the international political and security framework in the interwar period. It then considers the mass politics that surrounded the glorification of new-style leaders Lenin Stalin Mussolini and Hitler before moving on to explore the ways in which the interwar legacy was superseded post-1945. James examines the deceptive appearance of stability brought by a new convergence in European politics that focused around the market and the principle of liberal democracy and demonstrates how the impact of globalization and openness to migration and to destabilizing financial capital flows has eroded traditional politics and ended the stable left-right polarization at the core of the postwar order. This new edition has been thoroughly updated throughout demonstrating also how an era of crisis is challenging Europe and its values. Supported by boxed case studies illustrations chronologies and an annotated bibliography and focusing on Europe as a whole it is the perfect introduction for students of Modern European History. | Europe Contested From the Kaiser to Brexit

Peripheral Actors in Journalism Deviating from the Norm?

Peripheral Actors in Journalism Deviating from the Norm?

This book addresses the transformative role that so-called peripheral actors in journalism – emerging outlets diverging from the norms fiercely held by mainstream media outlets – play in today’s news ecosystem. The author charts the rise to prominence of these actors outlining how they have successfully managed to challenge the authority held by mainstream legacy outlets whose claims to be the “storytellers of our time” no longer exclusively pertain to them. Beginning by identifying these peripheral actors specifically the book then considers whether what they do is “journalism” as traditionally conceived what their motivations are and why their role is important in light of journalism’s democratic function in holding power to account. Ultimately it is argued that despite the perceived role of peripheral actors as “deviant” they still demonstrate a surprising degree of ideological continuity in the face of industrial disruption. Drawing on research from Australia Germany and the United Kingdom Peripheral Actors in Journalism is an insightful resource for journalism and media scholars with an interest in alternative media sources. | Peripheral Actors in Journalism Deviating from the Norm?

Chanson The French Singer-Songwriter from Aristide Bruant to the Present Day

Chanson The French Singer-Songwriter from Aristide Bruant to the Present Day

’En France tout finit par des chansons’ is the well-known phrase which sums up the importance of chanson for the French. A song tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages and troubadours of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries chanson is part of the texture of everyday life in France - a part of the national identity and a barometer of popular taste. In this first study of chanson in English Peter Hawkins examines the background to the genre and the difficulties in defining what is and what is not chanson. The focus then moves to the development of the singer-songwriter of chanson from 1880 to the present day. This period saw the emergence of national icons from Aristide Bruant at the end of the nineteenth century through to internationally recognized musicians such as Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg. Each of these figures used chanson to express the particular moral dilemmas tragic situations and moments of euphoria particular to themselves and their times. The book provides bibliographies discographies and details of video recordings for each of the singer-songwriters that it discusses. It is both an essential reference guide to the genre and a useful case history of the adaptation of an ancient form to the demands of the modern mass media. | Chanson The French Singer-Songwriter from Aristide Bruant to the Present Day

The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

Originally published in 1979 the central focus of this study is the concept of culture as employed by English literary intellectuals over the preceding 100 years a period characterized by a constant process of re-definition and change. The tradition of criticism in which these intellectuals wrote represented the artistic imagination as a moral force in society and a fundamental mechanism for social change. The author traces this tradition through the writings of various English intellectuals using the three main figures of Matthew Arnold F. R. Leavis and Raymond Williams to elucidate the concept. She shows through the writings of their contemporaries how the concept was employed and modified and her analysis ranges from J. S. Mill John Ruskin and William Morris through George Bernard Shaw D. H. Lawrence T. S. Eliot and R. H. Tawney to Richard Hoggard Richard Wollheim and R. S. Peters. By discussing the questions of the role of art in society and examining their treatment by different groups of intellectuals the author has supplied a basis for a forceful critique of the quality of life in modern industrial society. This book will be of interest to students of literature cultural history and the sociology of culture. | The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

The Russian Orthodox Church 1917-1948 From Decline to Resurrection

The Russian Orthodox Church 1917-1948 From Decline to Resurrection

This book tells the remarkable story of the decline and revival of the Russian Orthodox Church in the first half of the twentieth century and the astonishing U-turn in the attitude of the Soviet Union’s leaders towards the church. In the years after 1917 the Bolsheviks’ anti-religious policies the loss of the former western territories of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union’s isolation from the rest of the world and the consequent separation of Russian emigrés from the church were disastrous for the church which declined very significantly in the 1920s and 1930s. However when Poland was partitioned in 1939 between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union Stalin allowed the Patriarch of Moscow Sergei jurisdiction over orthodox congregations in the conquered territories and went on later to encourage the church to promote patriotic activities as part of the resistance to the Nazi invasion. He agreed a Concordat with the church in 1943 and continued to encourage the church especially its claims to jurisdiction over émigré Russian orthodox churches in the immediate postwar period. Based on extensive original research the book puts forward a great deal of new information and overturns established thinking on many key points. | The Russian Orthodox Church 1917-1948 From Decline to Resurrection

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence Why It Matters from Birth through the Lifespan

Spatial Intelligence examines public and professional conceptions of the relationships between thinking about spatial attributes and active engagement in spatially related constructions and designs.

Apologies from Death Row The Meaning and Consequences of Offender Remorse

Apologies from Death Row The Meaning and Consequences of Offender Remorse

Apologies from Death Row explores the notion of remorse apologies and forgiveness within the context of capital punishment in the United States through the final words of offenders on death row and the covictims’ responses to them in their statements to the press after witnessing the execution. The book demonstrates that there is evidence that some offenders on death row are truly remorseful and that some of the family members of their victims could benefit from this remorse but that this is unlikely in the current system of capital punishment. Drawing from the fields of criminology psychology and sociology the book begins with a theoretically informed introduction to the concepts of remorse and forgiveness followed by an exploration of apology and forgiveness specifically in the context of capital punishment. It discusses how some initiatives within the criminal justice system such as apology laws and restorative justice programmes are being used to make it easier for offenders to apologize to their victims. Offenders on death row are considered addressing why they might or might not apologize and whether they are even capable of showing true remorse. The book then considers the family members of their victims (covictims) addressing whether they benefit from hearing the offender express remorse and witnessing the execution and whether forgiveness is possible in this context. Evidence to support the arguments presented in the book come from the offenders’ final words and the covictims’ responses to them in their statements to the press. The book dispels two common myths about the death penalty. First it shows that offenders on death row are not simply monsters who are incapable of understanding the severity of their crimes. Second it provides evidence that despite the popular belief that the death penalty is necessary in order to provide closure for the victims’ family members it may actually have the opposite effect. The family members’ statements to the press after witnessing the execution contain more negative themes like anger and disappointment than positive themes like closure and peace. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications this has for systems of justice in general and how a better understanding of the emotional state of offenders can help both victims and offenders. Apologies from Death Row will be of great interest to students and scholars of Criminology Psychology and Sociology. | Apologies from Death Row The Meaning and Consequences of Offender Remorse
