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 Elections in Israel 2019–2021

The Elections in Israel 2019–2021

The 16th book in The Elections in Israel series this book covers an extraordinary political event of having four national elections in two years which were much (but not all) about one person King Bibi. Analyzing Israel’s national elections from 2019 to 2021 this book argues the four elections became to a large extent a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu the incumbent prime minister and head of the Likud party facing investigations a hearing and indictment on charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust. Thus the first part of the book is dedicated to political personalization and to Netanyahu himself. The second part of the volume covers the traditional actors in parliamentary elections: voters parties and the mass media. The book relies on empirical analysis including extensive use of the Israel National Election Studies data; on theoretical rigor; and on the contextualization of the elections from comparative and long-term perspectives. The book should interest students and researchers of Israeli politics and society electoral studies and the crisis of democracy more generally. Many chapters will be of interest to political science communications and sociology students and scholars who study themes that are prominent on the academic and public agenda including political personalization and personalized politics populism party decline and democratic backsliding. Chapter 8 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4. 0 license. | The Elections in Israel 2019–2021

Learning as Interactivity Movement Growth and Becoming Volume 1 Ecologies of Learning in Higher Education

Learning as Interactivity Movement Growth and Becoming Volume 1 Ecologies of Learning in Higher Education

The two inter-linked volumes in this series are dedicated to the development of analysis and theorisation of learning and teaching in higher education. The two volumes focus on the multi-scalar ecological inter-connectedness of learners with teachers with artefacts with cultural patterns and resources with places with social activities and practices with social institutions with time and temporality and with technologies. Learning reflects inter-individual dynamics that are shaped by biology and culture. Against prevailing orthodoxies that view learning in higher education in terms of information transmission and content delivery the contributors articulate leading developments in distributed cognition distributed language ecological psychology enactivist and embodied-embedded cognitive science interactivity and multimodal event analysis. They also extend several earlier traditions such as American pragmatism embodied curriculum theory and Vygotsky's latter day anti-dualist Spinozan turn. Through detailed empirical analysis of in vivo episodes of learning using multimodal event analysis cognitive event analysis and cutting-edge theory the authors show how and why learning is not adequately explainable as internal mental processes per se. Instead sophisticated empirical analysis and innovative theory are put to work to reveal the emergence of learning in the interactivity of learners and teachers with the affordances of a distributed brain-body-environment learning system. Volume 1 is an edited collection of seven chapters written by internationally renowned researchers together with an Introduction and an Afterword written by King and Thibault. Volume 1 (and its successor Volume 2) will serve as valuable reading for educationalists and researchers in the cognitive communication learning and language sciences who are looking for new multidimensional tools for thinking about and new empirical tools for analysing learning and teaching as multi-scalar interactive processes in radical embodied ecologies of learning and teaching. | Learning as Interactivity Movement Growth and Becoming Volume 1 Ecologies of Learning in Higher Education

Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

This book—an English translation of a key Tamiḻ book of literary and cultural criticism—looks at the construction of Tamiḻ scholarship through the colonial approach to Tamiḻ literature as evidenced in the first translations into English. The Tamiḻ original Atikāramum tamiḻp pulamaiyum: Tamiḻiliruntu mutal āṅkila moḻipeyarppukaḷ by N Govindarajan is a critique of the early attempts at the translations of Tamiḻ literary texts by East India Company officials specifically by N E Kindersley. Kindersley who was working as the Collector of South Arcot district in the late eighteenth century was the first colonial officer to translate the Tamiḻ classic Tirukkuṟaḷ and the story of King Naḷa into English and to bring to the reading public in English the vibrant oral narrative tradition in Tamiḻ. F W Ellis in the nineteenth century brought in another dimension through his translation of the same classic. The book thus focuses on the attempts to translate the Tamiḻ literary works by the Company’s officials who emerged as the pioneering English Dravidianists and the impact of translations on the Tamiḻ reading community. Theoretically grounded the book makes use of contemporary perspectives to examine colonial interventions and the operation of power relations in the literary and socio-cultural spheres. It combines both critical readings of past translations and intensive research work on Tamiḻ scholarship to locate the practice of literary works in South Asia and its colonial history which then enables a conversation between Indian literary cultures. In this book the author has not only explored all key scholarly sources as well as the commentaries that were used by the colonial officials chiefly Kindersley but also gives us an insightful critique of the Tamiḻ works. The highlight of the discussion of Dravidian Orientalism in this book is the intralinguistic opposition of the “mainstream” Tamiḻ literature in “correct/poetical” Tamiḻ and the folk literature in “vacana” Tamiḻ. This framework allows the translators to critically engage with the work. Annotated and with an Introduction and a Glossary this translated work is a valuable addition to our reading of colonial South India. The book will be of interest to researchers of Tamiḻ Studies Orientalism and Indology translation studies oral literature linguistics South Asian Studies Dravidian Studies and colonial history. | Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

Catherine de'Medici

Catherine de'Medici

Catherine de' Medici (1519-89) was the wife of one king of France and the mother of three more - the last sorry representatives of the Valois who had ruled France since 1328. She herself is of preeminent importance to French history and one of the most controversial of all historical figures. Despised until she was powerful enough to be hated she was in her own lifetime and since the subject of a Black Legend that has made her a favourite subject of historical novelists (most notably Alexandre Dumas whose Reine Margot has recently had new currency on film). Yet there is no recent biography of her in English. This new study by a leading scholar of Renaissance France is a major event. Catherine a neglected and insignificant member of the Florentine Medici entered French history in 1533 when she married the son of Francis I for short-lived political reasons: her uncle was pope Clement VII who died the following year. Now of no diplomatic value Catherine was treated with contempt at the French court even after her husband's accession as Henry II in 1547. Even so she gave him ten children before he was killed in a tournament in 1559. She was left with three young boys who succeeded to the throne as Francis II (1559-60) Charles IX (1560-74) and Henry III (1574-89). As regent and queen-mother a woman and with no natural power-base of her own she faced impossible odds. France was accelerating into chaos with political faction at court and religious conflict throughout the land. As the country disintegrated Catherine's overriding concern was for the interests of her children. She was tireless in her efforts to protect her sons' inheritance and to settle her daughters in advantageous marriages. But France needed more. Catherine herself was both peace-loving and in an age of frenzied religious hatred unbigoted. She tried to use the Huguenots to counterbalance the growing power of the ultra-Catholic Guises but extremism on all sides frustrated her. She was drawn into the violence. Her name is ineradicably associated with its culmination the Massacre of St Bartholomew (24 August 1572) when thousands of Huguenots were slaughtered in Paris and elsewhere. To this day no-one knows for certain whether Catherine instigated the massacre or not but here Robert Knecht explores the probabilities in a notably level-headed fashion. His book is a gripping narrative in its own right. It offers both a lucid exposition of immensely complex events (with their profound imact on the future of France) and also a convincing portrait of its enigmatic central character. In going behind the familiar Black Legend Professor Knecht does not make the mistake of whitewashing Catherine; but he shows how intractable was her world and how shifty or intransigent the people with whom she had to deal. For all her flaws she emerges as a more sympathetic - and in her pragmatism more modern - figure than most of her leading contemporaries. | Catherine de'Medici
