A NEW
41458
Author: Jerome McGann
File Type: pdf
A manifesto for the humanities in the digital age, A New Republic of Letters argues that the history of texts, together with the methods by which they are preserved and made available for interpretation, are the overriding subjects of humanist study in the twenty-first century. Theory and philosophy, which have grounded the humanities for decades, no longer suffice as an intellectual framework. Jerome McGann proposes we look instead to philology--a discipline which has been out of fashion for many decades but which models the concerns of digital humanities with surprising fidelity.For centuries, books have been the best way to preserve and transmit knowledge. But as libraries and museums digitize their archives and readers abandon paperbacks for tablet computers, digital media are replacing books as the repository of cultural memory. While both the mission of the humanities and its traditional modes of scholarship and critical study are the same, the digital environment is driving disciplines to work with new tools that require major, and often very difficult, institutional changes. Now more than ever, scholars need to recover the theory and method of philological investigation if the humanities are to meet their perennial commitments. Textual and editorial scholarship, often marginalized as a narrowly technical domain, should be made a priority of humanists attention.**

Author: Friends Of Aron Baron
File Type: epub
On the centenary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, paeans to the conquering Bolsheviks will be sung. Bloodstained highlights the darker echoes coming from that event, with a mixture of classic and new essays that expose a murderous dictatorship as it developed, paving the way for Stalin, Mao, Castro, and others to slaughter and starve their opponents. The defense of this criminal enterprise, later categorized as actually existing socialism, ends here. No more velvet-gloved hagiography. No more Lenins. Includes essays from Mark Leier, Barry Pateman, Alexander Berkman, Iain MacKay, Herman Gorter, Rudolf Rocker, Luigi Fabbri, Maurice Brinton, and more. **About the Author Friends of Aron Baron A group of radical thinkers critical of the role Lenins influence has had on the theory and strategy of social change.

This book aims to redefine Australias earliest art history by chronicling for the first time the birth of the category Aboriginal art, tracing the terms use through published literature in the late eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Susan Lowish reveals how the idea of Aboriginal art developed in the European imagination, manifested in early literature, and became a distinct classification with its own criteria and form. Part of the larger story of AboriginalEuropean engagement, this book provides a new vision for an Australian art history reconciled with its colonial origins and in recognition of what came before the contemporary phenomena of Aboriginal art. **About the Author Susan Lowish is Lecturer in Australian Art History at theUniversity of Melbourne.

CIVIL

Author: Jessica C. Teets
File Type: pdf
Despite the dominant narrative of the repression of civil society in China, Civil Society under Authoritarianism The China Model argues that interactions between local officials and civil society facilitate a learning process, whereby each actor learns about the intentions and work processes of the other. Over the past two decades, often facilitated by foreign donors and problems within the general social framework, these interactions generated a process in which officials learned the benefits and disadvantages of civil society. Civil society supports local officials efforts to provide social services and improve public policies, yet it also engages in protest and other activities that challenge social stability and development. This duality motivates local officials in China to construct a social management system - known as consultative authoritarianism - to encourage the beneficial aspects and discourage the dangerous ones. **Review China has become the mega enigma of the global economy. Using a new model of consultative authoritarianism, Jessica Teets shows us how Chinese rulers and civil society organizations mutually learn from one another through their interactions, so that domestic institutions become more adaptive and less fragile over time. Teets has given us a new and powerful explanation for the durability of authoritarianism in general, and the dynamism of China in particular, that suggests those holding their breath for Western-style democracy to inevitably emerge in China may remain blue in the face for a long time to come. Mark Blyth, Brown University, Rhode Island Professor Jessica Teets has written an important book, with significant theoretical and policy implications. Using case studies undertaken in China and drawing on global comparative literature, Teets argues that there may be a more effective path to achieving good governance than the civil society-regime adversary model adopted by many in the West. Dr Teets calls it consultative authoritarianism, a process in which an authoritarian regime and civil society organizations mutually influence one another through a process of learning. Although this thesis is sure to be controversial to some, many adversarial-democracy promotion efforts around the world have reached, to date, illiberal dead ends. Teets begins the new thinking that is required if we are to find a better way to positive, gradual, and constructive change. David M. Lampton, Hyman Professor and Director of China Studies, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Not only is this book a must-read for scholars who study state-society relations and Chinese civil society, but it should also be an assigned text for graduate students and policymakers who want to understand the government, politics, and society of contemporary China. Sheng Ding, Journal of Chinese Political Science Book Description Much of what is written about civil society in China focuses on state repression. However, this victim-centered narrative disregards how such organizations effectively navigate the authoritarian state and, more importantly, are able to teach state officials about the benefits of a vibrant civil society. Evidence of this fresh perspective is seen in the policy changes governing civil society and through the increasing contracting out of service delivery. In this text, the author demonstrates the power of learning and the agency of civil society to change local officials perspectives.

Many naturally occurring compounds from foods such as rice, vegetables, fruits, and animal products possess properties that help to slow disease progression, inhibit pathophysiological mechanisms, or suppress activities of pathogenic molecules. Proteins and peptides play significant roles in such activities and are gaining importance as nutraceuticals that benefit numerous aspects of health and nutrition. Bioactive Food Proteins and Peptides Applications in Human Health provides a human health perspective on food-derived proteins and peptides. It describes the potential for large-scale production with advances in technology and proposes challenges and opportunities for the future of health, nutrition, medicine, and the biosciences.The book begins by addressing properties related to chemistry and bioactivity. It examines proteins and peptides as allergens, antihypertensive agents, antimicrobials, antioxidants, and anticancer agents. It also discusses findings on the bioavailability and toxicity of food-derived peptides and intestinal functions.Next, the contributors present information on therapeutic peptides. They discuss recent developments in proteomics, bioavailability, and opportunities for designing future peptide-based foods.Providing a comprehensive review of bioactive proteins and peptides obtained from food sources, the book brings together the most up-to-date and essential information from eminent researchers from all over the world. Academics, food scientists and technologists, nutritionists, biochemists, persons in industry, and government researchers and regulators will find this book to be an essential resource for new data and developments.About the AuthorDr. Navam Hettiarachchys current research focuses on an integrated approach to protein chemistry and biopeptides, value-added nutraceuticals, and product and food safety development. The spin-off of one of her projects has led to the formation of Nutraceutical Innovations LLC. The focus of this company is to generate value-added nutraceuticals in rice bran with a total systems approach. Her research program has pioneered anticancer research in rice and soybean peptides, and demonstrated potent anticancer activities in various types of cancer cell lines.Professor Maurice Marshalls research focuses on food enzymes, specifically polyphenol oxidases in fruits and vegetables and proteases from stomachless marine organisms, as well as unique browning inhibitors from insects, mussels, and crustaceans. He also works on the hydrolysis of waste seafood proteins for bioactive peptide generation and their action as antioxidants and in antidiabetic, anticancer, and high blood pressure regulation.Professor Kenji Satos current research interest focuses on bioactive peptides, especially the metabolic fate of these peptides.

In light of Los Angeles gang state of emergency, ethnic and minority gangs are arguably more high profile now than at any other time in our history. News media typically focus on the crime and violence associated with gangs, but not much else. This encyclopedia seeks to illuminate the world of gangs, including gang formations, routine gang activities, aberrations and current developments. One hundred essay entries related to gangs in the United States and worldwide provide a diffuse overview of the gang phenomenon. Each entry defines and explains the term, provides an historical overview, and explains its significance today. As the following entries demonstrate, gangs are part of the fabric of American society. They are not only in our communities but also our schools and other social institutions. Understanding the world of gangs is therefore needed to understand American society.Entries include Bikers, Bloods, Cholas, Crips, gang mythology, gang warfare, graffiti, Hells Angels, Hong Kong Triads, Latin Kings, law enforcement, occultic gangs, mafia, media, prison gangs, rites, Skinheads, Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act, tattoos, trafficking, Wanna-bes, West Side Story, Witness Protection programs, and youth gangs.From BooklistIn 1927 the first book on gang life,Frederic Thrashers The GangA Study of 1,313 Gangs in Chicago, was published. Only in the last 20 years, as gangs have spread from the inner cities to the suburbs and beyond, has the study of gangs become morethan just a specialization in sociology and criminology. For this new encyclopedia, two editors and approximately 60 other contributors have written82 signed entries exploring gangs and public policies and programs designed to deal in a positive manner with the problem of gangs. The alphabetical entries range fromone-halfpage (Non-racist skinheads) to 12 pages (Mexican gangs). Words in bold type indicate a separate entry in the encyclopedia. A list of references and suggested readings at the end of each entry leads the reader to more in-depth works. The preface and introduction set the stage for the detailed overview of gangs that follows. An index completes the volume. The introduction highlights four areas that are covered in the encyclopedia gang theory, gang practices, gang types, and gang expansion. Examples of entries on gang theory are Differential association theory and Subcultural theories of gangs. Gang practices include such topics as Gang clothing, Gang graffiti, andGang symbols. Gang types include Gangs in U.S. schools and Gangs in prisons ethnic gangs (e.g., The Black Hand and Jewish gangs and gangsters) and gender gangs (e.g., The Latin Queens). Gang expansion is coveredin such entriesas Australian youth gangs and Transnational gangs. A list of entries and a guide to related topics precede the alphabetical entries. This first encyclopedia on the subject of gangs definitely delivers what the editors intended an orientation to the subject, a stimulation of curiosity, and guidance for further investigation of the subject by the reader. Recommended for academic and large public libraries. --Kaye Talley ReviewThe first encyclopedia on the subject of gangs definitely delivers what the editors intended an orientation to the subject, a stimulation of curiosity, and guidance for further investigation of the subject by the reader. Recommended for academic and large public libraries.BooklistBilled as the first encyclopedia of gangs in the United States, this volume provides an extensive over view of the great variety of gangs in American society and selected other countries (e.g., Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, South Africa, and Spain), and the various public programs and policies that have been developed to ameliorate their negative impacts. . . . This encyclopedia will be useful for college and university libraries, or other settings where readers desire further understanding of this complex topic. Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through professionalspractitioners.ChoiceThe Encyclopedia of Gangs provides timely and compelling information on a topic that has gained a great deal of attention both in institutions of higher education and mainstream media outlets...recommended for novice researchers...The Encyclopedia of Gangs offers a nice starting point for the study of a wide range of gang topics and would make a fine addition to most library collections.ARBAThe Greenwood press Encyclopedia of Gangs is highly recommended. The authors have provided excellent context and academic background for what is becoming an increasingly multifaceted and prevalent subject matter. . . . This book will find a strong audience in sociology, cultural, justice, civil liberty and criminology fields. It is particularly readable and offers a nice balance between depth of subject matter and continued investigation. Public, special and academic libraries should give strong consideration to this item, particularly as there is a dearth of resources in the subject area.Reference Reviews
