Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

One dusty summer day in 1935 a young writer named Gennady Andreev-Khomiakov was released from the Siberian labor camp where he had spent the last eight years of his life. His total assets amounted to 25 rubles a loaf of bread five dried herrings and the papers identifying him as a convicted ?enemy of the people. ? From this hard-pressed beginning Andreev-Khomiakov would eventually work his way into a series of jobs that would allow him to travel and see more of ordinary life and work in the Soviet Union of the 1930s than most of his fellow Soviet citizens would ever have dreamed possible. Capitalizing on this rare opportunity Bitter Waters is Andreev-Khomiakov's eyewitness account of those tumultuous years a time when titanic forces were shaping the course of Russian history. Later to become a successful writer and editor in the Russiangr ommunity in the 1950s and 1960s Andreev-Khomiakov brilliantly uses this memoir to explore many aspects of Stalinist society. Forced collectivization Five Year Plans purges and the questionable achievements of ?shock worker brigades? are only part of this story. Andreev-Khomiakov exposes the Soviet economy as little more than a web of corruption a system that largely functioned through bribery barter and brute force?and that fell into temporary chaos when the German army suddenly invaded in 1941. Bitter Waters may be most valuable for what it reveals about Russian society during the tumultuous 1930s. From remote provincial centers and rural areas to the best and worst of Moscow and Leningrad Andreev-Khomiakov's series of deftly drawn sketches of people places and events provide a unique window on the hard daily lives of the people who built Stalin's Soviet Union. | Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

In a rare fusion of literary sensibility with psychological research Norman N. Holland brings to light important data showing how personality in the fullest sense of character development and identity affects the way in which we read and interpret literature. This book will show that readers respond to literature in terms of their own lifestyle character personality or identity. By such terms psychoanalytic writers mean an individual's characteristic way of dealing with the demands of outer and inner reality. Each new experience develops the style while the pre-existing style shapes each new experience. The sub-title of this book Five Readers Reading reflects the fact that the author a distinguished literary critic worked with five student readers using a battery of psychological tests and extensive interviews to study the ways they reacted to classic short stories by Faulkner Hemingway and others. Combining his own interpretation of the stories with his understanding of the readers and their reactions Holland derives four principles that inform literary response. He then goes on to show how these principles apply not just to literary response but to the way personality shapes any experience. The book carries Holland's previous studies of creation and responsive recreation forward to a major theoretical statement. He rejects the artificial idea that one must think of a text (or other event) as separate from its perceivers illustrating the dynamics by which perceiver and perceived mutually create an experience. For critics and students of the psychology of human behavior this is challenging and seminal reading. | The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

In Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U. S. : Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies David A. J. Richards offers an investigative comparison of two central figures in late eighteenth-century constitutionalism Edmund Burke and James Madison at a time when two great constitutional experiments were in play: the Constitution of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the U. S. Constitution of 1787. Richards assesses how much as liberal Lockean constitutionalists Burke and Madison shared and yet differed regarding violent revolution offering three pathbreaking and original contributions about Burke’s importance. First the book defends Burke as a central figure in the development and understanding of liberal constitutionalism; second it explores the psychology that led to his liberal voice including Burke’s own long-term loving relationship to another man; and third it shows how Burke’s understanding of the political psychology of the violence of “political religions” is an enduring contribution to understanding fascist threats to political liberalism from the eighteenth-century onwards including the contemporary constitutional crises in the U. S. and U. K. deriving from populist movements. Mixing thorough research with personal experiences this book will be an invaluable resource to scholars of political science and theory constitutional law history political psychology and LGBTQ+ issues. | Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

The law plays an ambiguous role in running business. While legal tools can be used to tame uncertainties for example by concluding contracts to safeguard enforcement of future claims they can also generate uncertainty. These secondary uncertainties like ones stemming from vague rights and obligations may be counterbalanced by using different resources and strategies including acting informally modifying business plans or accepting the losses from unpaid dues. This book discusses how small and medium enterprises use the law abstain from using the law and use alternative pathways to manage business uncertainties. Examining these topics through the lenses of an extensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study on justiciable issues access to justice and legal uncertainty among SMEs in Poland it implements and expands upon the paradigmatic paths to justice methodology which has been successfully used to study conflict resolution access to justice and utilisation of the law by individuals in more than 30 jurisdictions. It argues that the grand promise of modern law - that it is a certainty-providing neutral and democratic device to resolve problems and conflicts - is not fully delivered. It reveals how the conditions of a freshly developed capitalism combined with the rule of law backsliding contribute to universal structural problems with access to justice meaning that accessing justice is a resource-hungry process which incentivises small businesses to settle for their legal problems and engage in informal and alternative strategies. | Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

During the 1950s 1960s and 1970s general levels of alcohol consumption had risen considerably in all parts of the world. In association with this there was a proliferation of alcohol-related problems such as liver disease drunkenness offences marital disharmony and employment difficulties. Many factors influence the probability of alcohol addiction and the habits of drinking; they include age sex race occupation and income. Economic aspects of the use and misuse of alcohol had been attracting increasing attention during the early 1980s. Politicians and scholars alike had drawn attention to the benefits of a vigorous alcohol industry on the one hand and on the other the costs of providing medical social and educational services for those suffering from alcohol-related problems. Originally published in 1983 the real nature of the relationship between economics and alcohol is explored in detail for the first time in this book. It argues for increased participation by economists in the processes of social policy decision-making and considers the key issues of cost-benefit analyses control policies taxation and programme efficiency. No easy solutions are provided but a host of unjustified assumptions about this subject are clarified. This book paved the way for substantial future collaboration between economists and those involved in alcohol studies. | Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

Translation and Ideology Encounters and Clashes

Translation and Ideology Encounters and Clashes

Ideology has become increasingly central to work in translation studies. To date however most studies have focused on literary and religious texts thus limiting wider understanding of how ideological clashes and encounters pervade any context where power inequalities are present. This special edition of The Translator deliberately focuses on ideology in the translation of a rich variety of lesser-studied genres namely academic writing cultural journals legal and scientific texts political interviews advertisements language policy and European Parliament discourse in all of which translation as a social practice can be seen to shape maintain and at times also resist and challenge the asymmetrical nature of exchanges between parties engaged in or subjected to hegemonic practices. The volume opens with two ground-breaking papers that investigate the nature and representation of truth and knowledge in the translation of the sciences followed by two contributions which approach the issue of shifts in the translation of ideology from the standpoint of critical linguistics and critical discourse analysis using data from political speeches and interviews and from English and Korean versions of Newsweek. Other contributions discuss the role that translation scholars can play in raising public awareness of the manipulative devices used in advertising; the way in which potentially competing institutional and individual ideologies are negotiated in the context of interpreting in the European Union; the role translation plays in shaping the politics of a multilingual nation state with reference to Belgium; and the extent to which the concepts of norms and polysystems may be productive in investigating the link between translation and ideology with reference to Chinese data. | Translation and Ideology Encounters and Clashes

Dynamics and Developments of Social Structures and Networks in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Cyprus

Dynamics and Developments of Social Structures and Networks in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Cyprus

This volume substantiates the island of Cyprus as an important player in the history of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean and Near East and presents new theoretical and analytical approaches. The Cypriot Neolithic Chalcolithic and Bronze Age are characterised by an increasing complexity of social and political organisation economic systems and networks. The book discusses and defines how specific types of material datasets and assemblages such as architecture artefacts and ecofacts and their contextualisation can form the basis of interpretative models of social structures and networks in ancient Cyprus. This is explored through four main themes: approaches to social dynamics; social and economic networks and connectivity; adaptability and agency; and social dynamics and inequality. The variety and transition of social structures on the island are discussed on multiple scales from the local and relatively short-term to island-wide and eastern Mediterranean-wide and the longue durée. The focus of study ranges from urban to non-urban contexts and is reflected in settlement funerary and other ritual contexts. Connections both within the island and to the broader Eastern Mediterranean and how these impact social and economic developments on the island are explored. Discussions revolve around the potential of consolidating the models based on specialised studies into a cohesive interpretation of society on ancient Cyprus and its strategic connections with surrounding regions in a diachronic perspective from the Neolithic through the end of the Bronze Age i. e. from roughly the seventh millennium to the eleventh century BCE. Dynamics and Developments of Social Structures and Networks in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Cyprus is intended for researchers and students of the archaeology and history of ancient Cyprus the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Marxist Political Economy and Bourdieu Economic and Cultural Capital Classes and State

Marxist Political Economy and Bourdieu Economic and Cultural Capital Classes and State

This book systematically addresses Bourdieu’s key ideas and concepts in the context of Marxist thought. In this book Bourdieu’s central theoretical points are analyzed within a political sociological and politico-economic framework which allows for the development of a sequential narrative of his key ideas. Thus the authors are able to highlight the theoretical consistencies and political conclusions which can be derived from Bourdieu’s work. For example Bourdieu’s anti-neoliberal narrative is correlated with his analysis of class and especially with his canonization of the petty bourgeoisie and its strategy for a reformed anti-neoliberal capitalism. The book also analyzes this coherent synthesis of Bourdieu’s work in the context of Marxist political economy including not only Marx but also Lenin Althusser and Poulantzas. In this context the book explores Bourdieu’s work on the state class strategy socialism and capitalism. This unique perspective will be of great interest to social scientists particularly in economics politics and sociology working on Bourdieu Marx and capitalism. | Marxist Political Economy and Bourdieu Economic and Cultural Capital Classes and State
