(H/B) THE REFORM OF CAP AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHERN EUROPE
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0247
Today the use of the term countryside reflects a dual historical shift due to the decreasing importance of agriculture both in terms of employment and production in European economies and the shift toward the environment. An increasing part of rural populations is being drawn into non-agricultural sectors such as tourism, construction, manufacturing, and the conventional and innovative services, thereby granting a more diversified and contemporary role to the countryside. The environmental shift has questioned many of the very fundamental ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) PARADOSIAKA
MUSIC, MEANING AND IDENTITY IN MODERN GREECE
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0226
Since the 1980s, musicians and audiences in Athens have been rediscovering musical traditions associated with the Ottoman period of Greek history. The result of this revivalist movement has been the urban musical style of 'paradosiaka' ('traditional'). Drawing from a varied repertoire that includes Turkish art music and folk and popular musics of Greece and Turkey, and identified by the use of instruments which previously had little or no performing tradition in Greece, paradosiaka has had to define itself by negotiating contrastive tenden...

(H/B) DIONYSIUS THE AREOPAGITE AND THE NEOPLATONIST TRADITION
DESPOILING THE HELLENES
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0245
'Dionysius the Areopagite' is arguably one of the most mysterious and intriguing figures to emerge from the late antique world. Writing probably around 500 CE, and possibly connected with the circle of Severus of Antioch, Dionysius manipulates a Platonic metaphysics to describe a hierarchical universe: as with the Hellenic Platonists, he arranges the celestial and material cosmos into a series of triadic strata. These strata emanate from one unified being and contain beings that range from superior to inferior, depending on their proximity... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) PSEUDO-DIONYSIUS AS POLEMICIST
THE DEVELOPMENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ANGELIC HIERARCHY IN SIXTH CENTURY SYRIA
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0246
The anonymous theologian known as Pseudo-Dionysius, who was responsible for arranging the angelic hierarchy into nine orders, had a significant influence on mediaeval European mysticism. This book places him in his religious and political context in sixth century Syria, and uncovers the hidden agenda which lies behind his writings. New evidence is presented to establish the dating of the corpus more accurately than has been done before. Rather than analysing the minutiae of Dionysius' thought, Rosemary Arthur focuses on his sources for, an... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) MEMORY, MASCULINITY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN BRITISH VISUAL CULTURE, 1914-1930
A STUDY OF "UNCONQUERABLE MANHOOD"
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0241
With its specific focus on British representations of masculinity in relation to the trauma of the First World War and notions of national identity, class and sexuality, this book provides a much needed addition to the historiography of visual culture during the period. The study interrogates the complications arising out of issues of trauma, cultural expressions of sexuality and affect, as well as the ways in which these are encoded in diverse forms in visual culture and commemorative objects. Concentrating on masculinity and cultural mem... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) FASHIONING IDENTITIES IN RENAISSANCE ART
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0243
Fashioning Identities analyses some of the different ways in which identities were fashioned in and with art during the Renaissance, taken as meaning the period c.1300-1600. The notion of such a search for new identities, expressed in a variety of new themes, styles and genres, has been all-pervasive in the historical and critical literature dealing with the period, starting with Burckhardt, and it has been given a new impetus by contemporary scholarship using a variety of methodological approaches. The identities involved are those of p... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) WOMEN'S ALBUMS AND PHOTOGRAPHY IN VICTORIAN ENGLAND
LADIES, MOTHERS AND FLIRTS
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0242
This beautifully illustrated study recaptures the rich history of women photographers and image collectors in nineteenth-century England. Situating the practice of collecting, exchanging and displaying photographs and other images in the context of feminine sociability, Patrizia Di Bello shows that albums express Victorian women's experience of modernity. The albums of individual women, and the broader feminine culture of collecting and displaying imagesare examined, uncovering the cross-references and fertilizations between women's albums...

(H/B) REACTIONS TO THE MASTER
MICHELANGELO'S EFFECT ON ART AND ARTISTS IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0244
The immense effect that Michelangelo had on many artists working in the sixteenth century is widely acknowledged by historians of Italian Renaissance art. Yet until recently greater stress has been placed on the individuality of these artists' styles and interpretation rather than on the elucidation of their debts to others. There has been little direct focus on the ways in which later sixteenth-century artists actually confronted Michelangelo, or how those areas or aspects of their artistic production that are most closely related to his ...

(P/B) MUSIC, SPACE, AND PLACE
POPULAR MUSIC AND CULTURAL IDENTITY
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0239
Music, Space and Place examines the urban and rural spaces in which music is experienced, produced and consumed. The editors of this collection have brought together new and exciting perspectives by international researchers and scholars working in the field of popular music studies. Underpinning all of the contributions is the recognition that musical processes take place within a particular space and place, where these processes are shaped both by specific musical practices and by the pressures and dynamics of political and economic circ...

(H/B) MIGRANT WOMEN TRANSFORMING CITIZENSHIP
LIFE STORIES FROM BRITAIN AND GERMANY
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0237
Migrant Women Transforming Citizenship develops essential insights concerning the notion of transnational citizenship by means of the life stories of skilled and educated migrant women from Turkey in Germany and Britain. It interweaves and develops theories of citizenship, identity and culture with the lived experiences of an immigrant group that has so far received insufficient attention. By focusing on the British and German contexts, it introduces a much needed European and comparative perspective, whilst exploring the ways in which div... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) MUSIC IN THE WORLD OF ISLAM
A SOCIO-CULTURAL STUDY
Εκδότης: ASHGATE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0363-0238
The story of music told in these pages begins in pre-islamic times with musical forms that bear strong imprints of the Bedouin's tribal way of life. Pre-islamic music can be viewed as the forerunner of the art music that acquired a foot-hold after the advent of Islam. The history of Arab music then became inextricably entwined with the musical traditions of the conquered lands. The merging of diverse forms into an unique common style marked the advent of the Great Musical Tradition that gained favour throughout an extensive geographical ar... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |
