Capitalism and Colonial Production

Capitalism and Colonial Production

Capitalism and Colonial Production (1982) examines the ways in which capitalism has transformed the societies it came to dominate and the link between colonialism and capitalism. These essays confront the complex of issues using as material the various countries in Asia. They advance the debate by reconsidering the problems involved by identifying pre-colonial modes of production and by analysing the precise details of the changes wrought by colonial domination. They argue that capitalism does not in these countries co-exist side-by-side with feudalism but that colonialism has created distinctive forms of capitalism depending for their character on pre-colonial modes of production.

Temples of Luxury Volume II: Department Stores

Temples of Luxury Volume II: Department Stores

This two-volume collection of British primary sources examines institutions such as hotels inns arcades bazaars co-operatives shops and department stores in the long nineteenth century which were often coded as ‘luxurious’. This period was marked not only by an increase of individual consumerism but also by the institutionalisation of opulent often purpose-built spaces such as the much-admired new grand hotels supposedly an American invention and department stores modelled on the French grands magasins. These environments were tied to leisure (no longer a prerogative of the upper classes) and thus to modernity. In addition to addressing the luxurious side of these institutions including architectural innovation and interior decoration we also consider the other side of luxury examining the experience of staff and period debates over the morality of consumption. This edition seeks to explore a fascinating but hitherto often neglected side of the British nineteenth century by bringing together a collection of annotated primary texts and visual material documenting these ‘temples of luxury’ as they were seen by their contemporaries. | Temples of Luxury Volume II: Department Stores

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

This book explores the origins of Butoh in post-war Japan through orality and transmission in conjunction with an embodied research approach. The book is a gathering of seminal artistic voices – Yoshito Ohno Natsu Nakajima Yukio Waguri Moe Yamamoto Masaki Iwana Ko Murobushi Yukio Suzuki Takao Kawaguchi Yuko Kaseki and the philosopher Kuniichi Uno. These conversations happened during an extended research trip I made to Japan to understand the context and circumstances that engendered Butoh. Alongside these exchanges are my reflections on Butoh’s complex history. These are primarily informed by my pedagogical and performance encounters with the artists I met during this time rather than a theoretical analysis. Through the words of these dancers I investigate Butoh’s tendency to evade categorization. Butoh’s artistic legacy of bodily rebellion plurality of authorship and fluidity of form seems prescient and feels more relevant in contemporary times than ever before. This book is intended as a practitioner's guide for dancers artists students and scholars with an interest in non-Western dance and dance history postmodern performance and Japanese arts and culture. | Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Names Fashioned by Gender Stitched Perceptions

Names Fashioned by Gender Stitched Perceptions

Names are very powerful and significant especially in the African context. Across societies there is a universal albeit taken-for-granted fact that all human beings have names. Names Fashioned by Gender is a collection of essays on onomastics—a linguistics field of study focusing on the origin form history and use of proper names. The study of naming potentially provides significant evidence about the role of gender in the assimilation and/or enculturation processes as personal names evoke insight into the construction of gender and personhood in African societies. The book takes intellectual course from the idea that how names are viewed and used is heavily context-dependent and gendered. It demonstrates that personal names are narratives derived from different contexts within various cultures and circumstances subsequently imposing different identities on name bearers. Through persuasive essays this book elucidates that naming is an activity that needs to be conducted cautiously because names tend to determine the destiny and character of an individual.

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

In this classic work the author presents and develops his theory of the importance of 'the Skin-ego'. Just as the skin is wrapped around the body so the author sees the 'Skin-ego' as a psychical wrapping containing defining and consolidating the subject. From this perspective the structure and functions of the skin can provide psychoanalysts and general readers with a fertile and practical metaphor. The author's concept of the Skin-ego is the answer to questions he regards as crucial to contemporary psychoanalysis: questions of topography which were left incomplete by Freud; the analysis of fantasies of the container as of the contained; issues of touch between mothers and babies; extending the concept of prohibitions within an Oedipal framework to those derived from a prohibition on touching; and questions pertaining to the representation of the body and to its psychoanalytic setting. This new translation of Le Moi-peau is based on the second and last (1995) edition. | The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

Studies in Indo-Muslim History by S.H. Hodivala Volume I A Critical Commentary on Elliot and Dowson’s History of India as Told by Its Own Hi

Studies in Indo-Muslim History by S.H. Hodivala Volume I A Critical Commentary on Elliot and Dowson’s History of India as Told by Its Own Hi

In the field of medieval Indian historiography an eight-volume magnum opus History of India as Told by Its Own Historians by Sir Henry Myers Elliot (1808-53) and the editor-compiler of his posthumous papers John Dowson (1820-81) was published from London between 1867 and 1877. These landmark volumes continue to retain their popularity even nearly hundred and fifty years later and scholars still learn from and conduct their research on the basis of this work. However an enterprise of this scale and magnitude was bound to suffer from some serious shortcomings. An eminent Indian scholar S. H. Hodivala undertook the daunting task of annotating Elliot and Dowson’s volumes and worked through all the new material selecting or criticizing and adding his own suggestions where previous comments did not exist or appeared unsuitable. The first volume of Hodivala’s annotated Studies was published in 1939 while the second was published posthumously in 1957. Over the years while the work of Elliot and Dowson has seen many reprints and is even available online now Hodivala’s volumes have receded into obscurity. A new edition is presented here for the first time. Hodivala also published critical commentaries on 238 of about 2000 entries included in another very famous work Hobson-Jobson (London 1886) by Sir Henry Yule (1820-89) and Arthur Coke Burnell (1840-82). These have also been included in the present edition. These volumes are thus aimed at serving as an indispensable compendium of both Elliot and Dowson’s and for Yule and Burnell’s excellent contributions of colonial scholarship. At the same time these would also serve as a guide for comparative studies and critical appreciation of historical texts.

Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

This ground-breaking nineteenth-century volume is of considerable scholarly interest as an example of a femino-centric popular novel. Celia in Search of a Husband is a high-spirited and entertaining example of an anti-Jacobin novel written at the height of the backlash against female intellectuals during the Napoleonic wars. Despite this hostile climate the author sought to acknowledge the importance of female education and independence whilst at the same time endorsing the traditional Christian teaching that a wife should be subordinate to her husband. Although second wave feminists prioritized the progressive writers with whom they more readily identified more recent scholarship has rightly paid close attention to conservative or moralist writers such as Miss Byron and recognized how influential they were. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary this edition of Celia in Search of a Husband contributes to this scholarship on the literary history of women’s writing and will be a welcome to those with a particularly interest in women’s writing satiric novels and spoofs and Jane Austen. | Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

Teaching Chinese by Culture and TV Drama

Teaching Chinese by Culture and TV Drama

This book integrates culture and authenticity into Chinese classroom practice through exploring the potential of contemporary TV drama as teaching and learning materials for intercultural Chinese language teaching and learning. In addressing the four main challenges in culture teaching in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL) this book focuses on precisely this area of pedagogical practice in Chinese as foreign language education and draws on a wide interdisciplinary base including foreign language education cultural studies and intercultural communication to explore the potential of authentic TV drama as language and culture materials for revitalising TCFL and foreign language teaching more generally. It examines in detail the culturally shaped beliefs values and practices that give meaning to the action and language of the selected clips in a modern award-winning Chinese TV drama. This book shows a potential experiential pathway into (pedagogical) practices to bring contemporary culture into classrooms to engage learners with contemporary and authentic texts and to encourage inquiry-focused teaching practices which – in being intercultural – allow for learners’ own interpretations of cultural messages in interaction and to recognise learners as learning to understand their own values and beliefs as they learn to explore those of other cultures. | Teaching Chinese by Culture and TV Drama
