Atilio A. Boron
Empire &, Imperialism: A Critical Reading of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri

2005 y.
Publisher: Zed Books
Description: In 2001, the Harvard scholar Michael Hardt and the independent Italian left wing intellectual Toni Negri published a modern critique of imperialism. The book was widely criticized by left wing intellectuals who felt that the book posed unfortunate implications for political resistance to imperialism, and that it ignored both the experience and intellectual analysis of thinkers from the South. Atilio Boron is one of those. He argues that Hardt and Negri`s concept of `imperialism without an address`, though well intentioned, ignores most of the fundamental parameters of imperialism. The nation state, far from weakening, remains a crucial agent of capitalism, deploying a large arsenal of economic weaponry to protect and extend its position and actively promoting globalization in its own interests.

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A Novel of High-Stakes Romance and Betrayal, Set During the Race to Finish the World`s Tallest Building In Empire Rising , his extraordinary third book, Thomas Kelly tells a story of love and work, of intrigue and jealousy, with the narrative verve that led the Village Voice`s reviewer to dub him `Dostoevsky with a hard hat and lead pipe.` As the novel opens, it is 1930-the Depression-and ground has just been broken for the Empire State Building. Oneof the thousands of men erecting the building high above the city is Michael Briody, an Irish immigrant torn between his desire to make a new life in America and his pledge to gather money and arms for the Irish republican cause. When he meets Grace Masterson, an alluring artist who is depicting the great skyscraper`s ascent from her houseboat on the East River, Briody`s life turns exhilarating-and dangerous, for Grace is also a paramour of Johnny Farrell, Mayor Jimmy Walker`s liaison… [detailed...]

Empire Triumphant: Race, Religion And Rebellion in the Star Wars Films

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionGeorge Lucas?s first Star Wars trilogy shows the influences of its era, Cold War tension is evident in its theme of rebellion against totalitarianism. Recent entries in the Star Wars saga? The Phantom Menace (1999) and Attack of the Clones (2002)?are much more concerned with evil corporations, terrorists, and the corruption of the political process. Each film is influenced by the times in which it was released, but also by cultural subtexts and by other films that had direct and indirect effects on Lucas as writer, producer, and director. This work focuses on all six Star Wars films. The first topic of this multifaceted examination is how the films use the language of colonialism (`The` Rebellion,`The` Empire) to emphasize the idea of imperialism. Next the author looks at how Asian influences?including religious undertones from Taoism and Buddhism and the works of Kurosawa and other Asian filmmakers?provide a subtext… [detailed...]

Description: What does imperialism mean in the absence of colonial conquest and imperial rule? `What we are seeing today, as the Bush administration pursues its reckless policies, may be a special kind of madness, but, if so, it is a madness firmly rooted not only in the past half-century of US history but in the systemic logic of imperialism.` ?from the Preface In this era of globalization, we hear a great deal about a new imperialism and its chief enforcer, the United States. Today, with the US promising an endless war against terrorism and promoting a policy of preemptive defense, this notion seems more plausible than ever. But what does imperialism mean in the absence of colonial conquest and direct imperial rule? In this lucid and lively book Ellen Meiksins Wood explores the new imperialism against the contrasting background of older forms, from ancient Rome, through medieval Europe, the Arab Muslim world, the Spanish conquests, and the Dutch commercial empire….

Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In no-nonsense prose, Empire of Debt confronts critical concerns about the position of the United States as the world`s leading economy and great military might. For many years, the United States has been the country from which others sought advice, money, and a high return on investment. At the same time, Uncle Sam has descended from being the world`s largest creditor to its greatest debtor. Why the paradox? The team that conceived the international bestseller Financial Reckoning Day offers the first in-depth look at how Americans abandoned sound traditions of economic freedom, personal liberty, and fiscal restraint, favoring instead government control of the economy, unfettered deficit spending, gluttonous consumption, and fearless military adventurism, all of which have ravaged the business environment, devastated personal balance sheets, and led the global economy to the brink of financial crisis. The authors argue there will be a dramatic change in the… [detailed...]

Empire of Emptiness: Buddhist Art and Political Authority in Qing China

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionImperial Manchu support and patronage of Buddhism, particularly in Mongolia and Tibet, has often been dismissed as cynical political manipulation. Empire of Emptiness questions this generalization by taking a fresh look at the hugeoutpouring of Buddhist painting, sculpture, and decorative arts Qing court artists produced for distribution throughout the empire. It examines some of the Buddhist underpinnings of the Qing view of rulership and shows just how central images were in thecarefully reasoned rhetoric the court directed toward its Buddhist allies in inner Asia. The multilingual, culturally fluid Qing emperors put an extraordinary range of visual styles into practice--Chinese, Tibetan, Nepalese, and even the European Baroquebrought to the court by Jesuit artists. Their pictorial, sculptural, and architectural projects escape easy analysis and raise questions about the difference between verbal and pictorial description, the ways in which overt and covert… [detailed...]

Publisher: Bantam
Description: In the early 21st century, in a Paris rapidly turning tropical thanks to global warming, Jonathan Wells tries to get to the bottom (as it turns out, quite literally) of his Uncle Edmond`s obsession with ants. Jonathan and his family have been left Edmond`s basement apartment, their benefactor`s sole request is, `ABOVE ALL, NEVER GO DOWN INTO THE CELLAR.` Meanwhile, in the great city of Bel-o-kan, a reproductive ant, the 327th male, is fighting for survival, having had his olfactory Identikit stripped by traitors of his own tribe. Both males--human and ant--are determined to solve their separate quandaries, and Bernard Werber cleverly juxtaposes their adventures and those of their survivors. Their stories must somehow be linked, but it will be hundreds of imaginative and educational pages before we come upon the solution. Empire of the Ants was first published in France in 1991 and eventually in England in 1996 in Margaret Rocques`s spryly formal translation. (`Ants are not… [detailed...]
