Free Download Jione Havea, "Religion and Power "
English | ISBN: 1978703546 | 2018 | 222 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 1191 KB
Religion has power structures that require and justify its existence, spread its influence, and mask its collaboration with other power structures. Power, like religion, is in collaboration. Along this line, this book affirms that one could see and study the power structures and power relations of a religion in and through the missions of empires. Empires rise and roam with the blessings and protections of religious power structures (e.g., scriptures, theologies, interpretations, traditions) that in return carry, propagate and justify imperial agendas. Thus, to understand the relation between religion and power requires one to also study the relation between religion and empires.

Free Download Relevance of European Studies in Asia by Maria Stoicheva, S. G. Sreejith, Indranath Gupta
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 171 Pages | ISBN : 9819977851 | 2.8 MB
This book provides perspectives on the relevance of European Studies as a disciplinary category for the Asian region. That being the primary focus, the book serves a larger purpose. First, it provides insights on European society, polity and economy (including European Integration) as they are accounted in European Studies. The epistemological character of the knowledge thus conveyed has larger credibility and reliability such that they can become policy inputs and imaginations for strengthening Asian-European relationship. This approach helps overcome the trap of subjectively motivated discourses on Europe which may fail potential collaborations between the regions. Second, the design and discursivity of European Studies will be an instruction to the Asian region on the constitutive potential of regional studies in society-building. Third, the book works towards building the idea of "Europe" in terms of international law, in the minds of Asian students, researchers and decision-makers. This is extremely relevant for the future relationship and cultural engagement between the two regions. The book is of interest to policymakers, academics, embassies, state-level government offices, researchers and students.

Free Download Ois’in Tansey, "Regime-Building: Democratization and International Administration "
English | ISBN: 0199561036 | 2009 | 248 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book explores a particular form of democracy promotion that is carried out by international actors in the context of ‘international administration’. The practice of international administration involves external actors, such as the United Nations, assuming governmental control in weak or postconflict states, often with the aim of assisting with conflict resolution or statebuilding. This book examines one major element of these operations, namely the democracy promotion activities they pursue and the influence they have on processes of regime change. The book examines three cases of international administration in detail, those in Kosovo, Bosnia and East Timor, and uses the insights from these cases to highlight both the positive and negative impact on democratization efforts.

Free Download Tarja Laine, "Reframing Trauma in Contemporary Fiction Film"
English | ISBN: 1793651949 | 2023 | 228 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 4 MB
In Reframing Trauma in Contemporary Fiction Film, Tarja Laine provides insights into how cinema engages its spectator emotionally with the pathology of memory that lies at the heart of trauma. By arguing that cinema communicates the inability to process a traumatic event by means of its aesthetic specificity, Laine demonstrates that traumatic cinema can be an important source of ethical knowledge, both within and beyond the cinematic world. The films discussed in this book do not necessarily narrate trauma but embody that aspect of trauma which resists narrativization. This is why there are modes of affective engagement beyond storytelling by which spectators can meaningfully relate to trauma. Scholars of film studies, media studies, and philosophy will find this book of particular interest.

Free Download Tendayi Sithole, "Refiguring in Black"
English | ISBN: 1509557024 | 2023 | 176 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Refiguring in Black is a meditation on black life, and a meditation on the questions and concerns with which black life is confronted. It takes the form of a critical engagement with the thought of Frederick Douglass, Toni Morrison, Hortense Spillers, and Charles Mingus – key figures in the black radical tradition. Sithole does not reduce these thinkers to biographical subjects but examines them as figures of black thought in ways that are creative and generative.
