Ideas of Europe Time Space and Tradition

Ideas of Europe Time Space and Tradition

Ideas of Europe is a critical essay reassessing the founding myths of Europe and the making of a European identity from antiquity to the present age. Antonelli argues that the intrinsic fragility and precarious nature of the perceived geographical entity of Europe has been compensated by the creation of a strong and wide European cultural identity which has embraced Latin tradition as interpreted and appropriated by Germanic Romance Slavonic as well as Greek and Byzantine cultures to form the European cultural space as we know it today. The development of a creative relationship between antiquity and modernity and the birth of a European Literature have created a ‘time’ of and for Europe. The method used throughout the book is rigorously historical-philological on the one hand while on the other it is enriched through critical dialogue with the great authors of the European tradition – from the classical Greek-Latin figures to the literati and philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This critical history of the cultural representations of Europe is a vital text for readers from across the humanities and social sciences who are interested in cultural history and in the values of Europe. | Ideas of Europe Time Space and Tradition

The Female Tradition in Physical Education Women First reconsidered

The Female Tradition in Physical Education Women First reconsidered

The Female Tradition in Physical Education re-examines a key question in the history of modern education: why did the remarkably successful leaders of female physical education who pioneered the development of the subject in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England Canada Australia and New Zealand lose control in the years following the Second World War? Despite the later resurgence of second wave feminism they never regained a voice with the result that male leadership was able to shift the curriculum in ways that neglected the needs and interests of girls and young women. Drawing on new sources and a range of historiographical approaches and touching on related fields such as therapeutic exercise and dance the book examines the development of physical education for girls in a number of countries to offer an alternative explanation to the dominant narrative of the ‘demise’ of the female tradition. Providing an important contextualization for the state of contemporary female physical education this is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the development of sport and physical education women’s and gender history and physical culture more generally. | The Female Tradition in Physical Education Women First reconsidered

The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

Melanie Klein's extension of Freud's ideas - in particular her explorations into the world of the infant and her emphasis on the complex interactions between the infant's internal world of powerful primitive emotions of love and hate and the mothering that the infant receives - were greeted with skepticism but are now widely accepted as providing an invaluable way of understanding human cognitive and emotional development. Klein's insights shed light on persecuted states guilt the drive to create and to repair; they also provide the clinician with a theory of technique. Klein's work has inspired the work of psychoanalysts around the world. Her concept of projective identification with its implications for the understanding of countertransference made a significant impact on her followers and on psychoanalysts in other countries and from other schools of thought. Further exploration of these ideas has led to greater understanding of how change occurs in psychoanalysis and has inspired a large literature with a particular focus on technique. | The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

The Virgilian Tradition Book History and the History of Reading in Early Modern Europe

The Virgilian Tradition Book History and the History of Reading in Early Modern Europe

The essays in this collection approach the reception of the Roman poet Virgil in early modern Europe from the perspective of two areas at the center of current scholarly work in the humanities: book history and the history of reading. The first group of essays uses Virgil's place in post-classical culture to raise questions of broad scholarly interest: How exactly does modern reception theory challenge traditional notions of literary practice and value? How do the marginal comments of early readers provide insight into their character and mind? How does rhetoric help shape literary criticism? The second group of essays begins from the premise that the material form in which early modern readers encountered this most important of Latin poets played a key role in how they understood what they read. Thus title pages and illustrations help shape interpretation with the results of that interpretation in turn becoming the comments that early modern readers regularly entered into the margins of their books. The volume concludes with four more specialized studies that show how these larger issues play out in specific neo-Latin works of the early modern period. | The Virgilian Tradition Book History and the History of Reading in Early Modern Europe

Clothed in the Body Asceticism the Body and the Spiritual in the Late Antique Era

Clothed in the Body Asceticism the Body and the Spiritual in the Late Antique Era

Hunt examines the apparent paradox that Jesus' earthly existence and post resurrection appearances are experienced through consummately physical actions and attributes yet some ascetics within the Christian tradition appear to seek to deny the value of the human body to find it deadening of spiritual life. Hunt considers why the Christian tradition as a whole has rarely managed more than an uneasy truce between the physical and the spiritual aspects of the human person. Why is it that the 'Church' has energetically argued through centuries of ecumenical councils for the dual nature of Christ but seems still unwilling to accept the full integration of physical and spiritual within humanity despite Gregory of Nazianzus's comment that 'what has not been assumed has not been redeemed'? | Clothed in the Body Asceticism the Body and the Spiritual in the Late Antique Era

Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

The book argues that there is no monolithic homosexuality; there are only homosexualities that is there are as many reasons for being gay as there are gays. Some people are born gay some have gayness thrust upon them and some do indeed achieve to great gayness. Representation of homosexuality/homoeroticism as it is understood today is thus a western import. The act and public/social discourses on same-sex love are still illegal; it is according to many against the Indian ‘tradition’; and a sense of ‘history’ is seriously problematic when we dig out for a past tradition of homoerotic love and desire. Hoshang Merchant through an examination of texts films poetry attempts to analyse and crack the codes of sexual (mis)conduct in contemporary India giving short histories of the fate of several gay writers and explaining the difficulties of ‘coming out’. | Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

The Swahili World

The Swahili World

The Swahili World presents the fascinating story of a major world civilization exploring the archaeology history linguistics and anthropology of the Indian Ocean coast of Africa. It covers a 1 500-year sweep of history from the first settlement of the coast to the complex urban tradition found there today. Swahili towns contain monumental palaces tombs and mosques set among more humble houses; they were home to fishers farmers traders and specialists of many kinds. The towns have been Muslim since perhaps the eighth century CE participating in international networks connecting people around the Indian Ocean rim and beyond. Successive colonial regimes have helped shape modern Swahili society which has incorporated such influences into the region’s long-standing cosmopolitan tradition. This is the first volume to explore the Swahili in chronological perspective. Each chapter offers a unique wealth of detail on an aspect of the region’s past written by the leading scholars on the subject. The result is a book that allows both specialist and non-specialist readers to explore the diversity of the Swahili tradition how Swahili society has changed over time as well as how our understandings of the region have shifted since Swahili studies first began. Scholars of the African continent will find the most nuanced and detailed consideration of Swahili culture language and history ever produced.

Revival: Contemporary Indian Philosophy (1936)

Revival: Contemporary Indian Philosophy (1936)

The book includes essay which are all written by philosophers of or about forty -five years of age. They fall into two main groups: those in which the writer devotes himself chiefly to the exposition of the great Vedic tradition as he has apprehended it and made it the basis of his own life’s work; and those in which the writer while on the whole remining true to the spirit of that tradition has sought to give new interpretations of it either by instituting comparisons of it with the Western doctrines most closely allied to it or by treating of modern problems in a way which though suggested by what he has learned from the West is yet stamped with the mark of his own racial sympathy. Western readers will naturally find the latter group more attractive; but this volume will have failed of its purpose if it does not give them some sense of the truth that underlies even the essays with which owing to the presuppositions ion which these are founded they find themselves least in sympathy. | Revival: Contemporary Indian Philosophy (1936)
