Postcards from Utopia: The Art of Political Propaganda (Bodleian Library - Postcards From)

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Politicians are famous for making extravagant campaign promises. But there are few promises as powerfulЧor as idealistically utopianЧas those put forth by state-sponsored propaganda. Collected here are colorful images of political ideology created and disseminated by the political regimes of Europe, the Soviet Union, and China from the 1920s through the С70s. State leaders of the twentieth century were highly conscious of the need to present a unified national image during a time of serious political transition in Europe, and state-sanctioned art performed a key function in an attempt to consolidate a country behind an idea. These spectacular images provide a rare opportunity to witness how abstract political ideas were rendered as visual picture for a mass audience. Fifty compelling postcards, held in the collection of the Bodleian Library, from the former Soviet Union, China, Germany, Italy, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Albania, reveal that despite nationalЕ [detailed...]

Postcards of Lost Royals (Bodleian Library - Postcards From)

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: This enchanting, unique collection of postcards recovers an old world swept away and forgotten over the decades. The lost royals captured here have not been misplaced or gone missingЧwhat has been lost is the very foundation of their royalty. Collected here are royal figures from around the world who lost their titles and were displaced as a result of World War I and other early twentieth-century political movements. The royal houses of Europe, Africa, and Asia once ruled a continent and held dominions beyond the seas. Today, just ten monarchs still reign in Europe, and those with only limited powers. Captured in these distinctive postcards held in the collection of the Bodleian Library are these lost emperors, kings and queens, czars and czarinas, princes and princess, and grand dukes and duchesses, who were left behind by the sweep of history. Featuring monarchs from the Balkans to the Iberian Peninsula, from Ethiopia to Korea, these portraits include members of theЕ [detailed...]

Postcards of Political Icons: Leaders of the Twentieth Century (Bodleian Library - Postcards From)

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: More than any preceding era, the twentieth century was defined by images. The widespread adoption of photography, the advent of film, and the increasing speed and ease of communications enabled people worldwide for the first time to know the faces of world leaders as intimately as those of their friends and family. The jutting jaw and jaunty cigarette holder of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Fidel CastroТs raised fist and bearded countenance, Tony BlairТs toothy smile, and StalinТs bristly frownЧthese and other iconographic images immediately conjure up unforgettable, dramatic moments in history.Opening with the end of Queen VictoriaТs reign and continuing through the end of the cold war, Postcards of Political Icons tells the story of the twentieth century through images of its most recognizable leaders. The politicians who presided over the demise of colonialism, led the communist revolution, and fought two world wars are presented on these postcards in unusualЦand often surprisinglyЕ [detailed...]

Description: On a Vermont hillside in 1944, Loyal Blood buries his dead girlfriend under the rocks of a stone wall. For the next forty years, Loyal is on the run from this terrible crime, leaving him forever incapable of touching another woman and sending him aimlessly across the American West. Denied love and unable to settle, Loyal lives a hundred different lives: mining gold, growing beans, hunting fossils, trapping, prospecting for uranium and ranching. The only contact with his past is through a series of postcards with no return address. With no chance of two-way communication, Loyal is unaware that in his absence disaster has befallen his family, and their deep-rooted connection with the land he loves has been devastatingly severed. ‘ормат: 13 см х 19,5 см.

Postcolonial Book History: Speech, Script and Print in World Cultures

2008 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: This surprising study draws together the disparate fields of postcolonial theory and book history in a challenging and illuminating way. Robert Fraser proposes that we now look beyond the traditional methods of the Anglo-European bibliographic paradigm, and learn to appreciate instead the diversity of shapes that verbal expression has assumed across different societies. This change of attitude will encourage students and researchers to question developmentally conceived models of communication, and move instead to a re-formulation of just what is meant by a book, an author, a text. Fraser illustrates his combined approach with comparative case studies of print, script and speech cultures in South Asia and Africa, before panning out to examine conflicts and paradoxes arising in parallel contexts. The re-orientation of approach and the freshness of view offered by this volume will foster understanding and creative collaboration between scholars of different outlooks, while offering aЕ [detailed...]

Postcolonial Politics: The Internet and Everyday Life: Pacific Traversals Online

2007 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: The dotcom boom may well have come and gone but information and communication technologies (ICTs) are now an inescapable part of both everyday life and world politics. In this close-up study of several longstanding Internet discussion forums, M.I. Franklin explores the form and substance of everyday life online. The author traces how non-Western diasporas use the Internet to talk productively about local and global politics, cultural issues, and identity in an era dominated by neoliberal globalization. The openings for intercultural and intracultural empowerment, online and also on the ground, that emerge through ordinary people`s uses of the Internet are being squeezed out, however, by powerful political economic and sociocultural interests from above and below.Franklin argues that a closer look at the content and communicative styles of these Pacific traversals online suggest other Internet futures, more hospitable, culturally inclusive and economically equitable than the oneЕ [detailed...]

Wide-ranging in scope, the book covers major topics like cross-cultural management, control and resistance, corporate culture, the discourse of exoticization in museums and tourism, and stakeholder issues, and sheds new light on the troubling legacy of colonialism.

Description: While the possibility of producing a de-colonized, post colonial knowledge in development studies became a subject of considerable debate in the 1990s, there has been little dialog between post colonialism and development. However, the need for development studies that is post colonial in theory and practice is now increasingly acknowledged. This means recognizing the significance of language and representation, the power of development discourse and its material effects on the lives of people subject to development policies. It also means acknowledging the already post colonial world of development in which contemporary re workings of theory and practice, such as grassroots and participatory development, indigenous knowledges and global resistance movements, inform post colonial theory.`Postcolonialism and Development` explains, reviews and critically evaluates recent debates about post colonial approaches and their implications for development studies.

In many countries, the poster as medium of information was unknown before the advent of AIDS, a visual vocabulary first had to be developed for an issue saddled with ingrained taboos. A survey of current posters on AIDS prevention, displayed in Asia, the Pacific, and Africa, demonstrates that the urgent and imperative success of the posters depends on their being rooted in local traditions--thus returning posters to their original function as a means of mass communication.
