Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance

Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance

Responding to the increasingly influential role of Hannah Arendt’s political philosophy in recent years Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination: The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance critically engages with Arendt’s understanding of totalitarianism. According to Arendt the main goal of totalitarianism was total domination; namely the virtual eradication of human legality morality individuality and plurality. This attempt in her view was most fully realized in the concentration camps which served as the major laboratories for the regime. While Arendt focused on the perpetrators’ logic and drive Michal Aharony examines the perspectives and experiences of the victims and their ability to resist such an experiment. The first book-length study to juxtapose Arendt’s concept of total domination with actual testimonies of Holocaust survivors this book calls for methodological pluralism and the integration of the voices and narratives of the actors in the construction of political concepts and theoretical systems. To achieve this Aharony engages with both well-known and non-canonical intellectuals and writers who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Additionally she analyzes the oral testimonies of survivors who are largely unknown drawing from interviews conducted in Israel and in the U. S. as well as from videotaped interviews from archives around the world. Revealing various manifestations of unarmed resistance in the camps this study demonstrates the persistence of morality and free agency even under the most extreme and de-humanizing conditions while cautiously suggesting that absolute domination is never as absolute as it claims or wishes to be. Scholars of political philosophy political science history and Holocaust studies will find this an original and compelling book. | Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Total Domination The Holocaust Plurality and Resistance

Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change From Total War to Cold War

Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change From Total War to Cold War

Hitherto the organization of international business has been studied mostly from a managerial point of view or by examining the relationship between firms and the economy. Yet the development of the modern multinational firm - the most important type of business organisation - has been strongly influenced by the conflicts that bedeviled the twentieth century. The volatile macroeconomic and political environments experienced by international business point to how important it is to study political risk. Consequently Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change: From Total War to Cold War breaks new ground: it argues that non-market elements and historical context are key to understanding the way international business has been organised. This edited volume offers an historical approach to analysing how multinational enterprise has developed over time and around the world through a series of well-crafted chapters on important topics in international economic and business history written by authorities in their respective fields of study and research. The study is based on the underlying premise that the coming of the two World Wars the devastating and long-term consequences of such total wars and the ideological challenge of the Cold War acted as a pivot points in shaping the nature and character of multinational firms. By examining such phenomena this study offers insights to anyone who has an interest in business economic or political history management and business studies or international relations. | Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change From Total War to Cold War

The Ideal of Total Environmental Control Knud Lönberg-Holm Buckminster Fuller and the SSA

The Ideal of Total Environmental Control Knud Lönberg-Holm Buckminster Fuller and the SSA

This book traces the ideal of total environmental control through the intellectual and geographic journey of Knud Lönberg- Holm a forgotten Danish architect who promoted a unique systemic cybernetic and ecological vision of architecture in the 1930s. A pioneering figure of the new objectivity and international constructivism in Germany in 1922 and a celebrated peer of radical figures in De Stijl the Bauhaus and Russian constructivism when he emigrated to Detroit in 1923 he introduced the vanguard theory of productivism through his photography essays designs and pedagogy. By following Lönberg- Holm’s ongoing matrix of relations until the postwar era with the European vanguards in CIAM and former members of the Structural Study Associates (SSA) especially Fuller Frederick Kiesler and C. Theodore Larson this study shows how their definition of building as a form of environmental control anticipated the contemporary disciplines of industrial ecology industrial metabolism and energy accounting. | The Ideal of Total Environmental Control Knud Lönberg-Holm Buckminster Fuller and the SSA

Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

Rapid changes in land use especially in growing metropolitan areas have created problems that increasingly indicate an urgent need for techniques and procedures for making intelligent land-use decisions. This book identifies the potential undesirable effects of land-use changes and provides techniques for estimating and minimizing them. Based on several years of research conducted by a team of thirty-four faculty and assistants the study shows how planners and decision makers can benefit from such contemporary planning tools as remote sensing statistical analysis and computer technology as well as a variety of evaluation procedures. Part 1 describes the problems of contemporary urbanization and offers a set of planning principles and tools for working with the environmental landscape. These principles and tools are the basis of the procedures detailed in Part 2; the assessment procedures in turn are an essential part of the two current planning approaches—the holistic landscape approach and the parametric approach—described in Part 3. | Planning The Total Landscape A Guide To Intelligent Land Use

China's Grain Economy The Challenge of Feeding More Than a Billion

China's Grain Economy The Challenge of Feeding More Than a Billion

This book was originally pubished in 2000. China is the largest developing country in the world and is still heavily based on agriculture. Currently about 70 per cent of China's total of more than one bilion people live in rural areas and about half of the total national labour force is involved in agricultural activities. It is clear that agriculture is the foundation for the development of the Chinese national economy. Within agriculture the grain economy is the most important sector: indeed it has been recognised as a treasure in managing the country by all past Chinese dynasties. Ensuring enough grain supply to meet the demands of such a huge population seems to be a long-term goal for the Chinese government and this book explores whether China will be able to produce enough grain to keep pace with its population increases. | China's Grain Economy The Challenge of Feeding More Than a Billion

Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

This is a book about the tensions between Christian ideals of love and the concrete realities of everyday monastic life. Based on a study of Cistercian monasteries in France it develops a novel conceptualization of fraternal relations and addresses how monks and nuns strive to accomplish such relationships within their communities. By focusing on the main interaction contexts of monasteries as a form of voluntary total institution the book shows how attempts to generate collective solidarity relate to other members as equals and avoid preferential relations conflict with practices of everyday life. Although fraternal ideals are similar for monks and nuns the analysis reveals significant gender differences regarding the legitimacy of different forms of interaction and relationships as well as how to control them. The book appeals to readers with an interest in total institutions sociology of religion sociology of friendship sociology of intimacy and also to scholars with an interest in theology of love and practical theology. | Fraternal Relations in Monasteries The Laboratory of Love

Teaching Writing A Systematic Approach

Teaching Writing A Systematic Approach

Originally published in 1986. The traditional approach to teaching writing concentrates on mastering the different aspects of writing in the hope that these will eventually unite as a set of integrated skills. More 'progressive' teachers emphasise that writing is a total process which is 'caught' intuitively rather than explicitly taught. Both models are partially unsatisfactory and consequently a third approach has evolved which seeks to combine the best of both. This book considers this 'systematic' approach which seeks to retain the emphasis on writing as a total process but identifies within each communicative context the set of sub-skills involved. The author discusses and illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of this approach and the changes in professional thinking and practice that are essential to its successful adoption. He presents an overview of the nature of the writing process to enable teachers to make clearer and more explicit statements about their objectives in setting classroom writing tasks. | Teaching Writing A Systematic Approach

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

In this seminal contribution to the sociology of knowledge first published in 1940 Florian Znaniecki develops a typology of the variety of specific social roles that scholars have played and investigates the normative patterns that govern their behavior. A central tool for the investigation of these problems is the notion of “social circle” the audience to which intellectuals address themselves. Znaniecki shows that thinkers do not speak to the total society but address selected segments and markets. Specific social circles bestow recognition provide material or psychic support and help shape the self-image of the thinker. | The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge
