Anthropologies of Entanglements Media and Modes of Existence


Free Download Anthropologies of Entanglements: Media and Modes of Existence (Thinking Media) edited by Lorenz Engell, Christiane Voss, Tim Othold
English | September 21, 2023 | ISBN: 1501375148 | True EPUB/PDF | 328 pages | 6.5/41.6 MB
Media and human modes of existence are always already intertwined and interdependent. The notion of the anthropocene has further stimulated a new examination of ideas about human agency and responsibility. Various approaches all emphasize relational concepts and the situatedness and embodiment of human-and also non-human-existences and experiences. Their common interest has shifted from any so-called ‘human nature’ to the multitude of cultural, topographical, technical, historical, social, discursive, and media formats with which human existences are entangled.

Plato’s Democratic Entanglements Athenian Politics and the Practice of Philosophy


Free Download S. Sara Monoson, "Plato’s Democratic Entanglements: Athenian Politics and the Practice of Philosophy"
English | 2013 | pages: 264 | ISBN: 0691158584, 0691043663 | EPUB | 1,9 mb
In this book, Sara Monoson challenges the longstanding and widely held view that Plato is a virulent opponent of all things democratic. She does not, however, offer in its place the equally mistaken idea that he is somehow a partisan of democracy. Instead, she argues that we should attend more closely to Plato’s suggestion that democracy is horrifying and exciting, and she seeks to explain why he found it morally and politically intriguing.

Imperial Entanglements Iroquois Change and Persistence on the Frontiers of Empire


Free Download Imperial Entanglements: Iroquois Change and Persistence on the Frontiers of Empire By Gail D. MacLeitch
2011 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 0812242815 | PDF | 4 MB
Imperial Entanglements chronicles the history of the Haudenosaunee Iroquois in the eighteenth century, a dramatic period during which they became further entangled in a burgeoning market economy, participated in imperial warfare, and encountered a waxing British Empire. Rescuing the Seven Years’ War era from the shadows of the American Revolution and moving away from the political focus that dominates Iroquois studies, historian Gail D. MacLeitch offers a fresh examination of Iroquois experience in economic and cultural terms. As land sellers, fur hunters, paid laborers, consumers, and commercial farmers, the Iroquois helped to create a new economic culture that connected the New York hinterland to a transatlantic world of commerce. By doing so they exposed themselves to both opportunities and risks.As their economic practices changed, so too did Iroquois ways of making sense of gender and ethnic differences. MacLeitch examines the formation of new cultural identities as men and women negotiated challenges to long-established gendered practices and confronted and cocreated a new racialized discourses of difference. On the frontiers of empire, Indians, as much as European settlers, colonial officials, and imperial soldiers, directed the course of events. However, as MacLeitch also demonstrates, imperial entanglements with a rising British power intent on securing native land, labor, and resources ultimately worked to diminish Iroquois economic and political sovereignty.

Cultural Entanglements Langston Hughes and the Rise of African and Caribbean Literature


Free Download Cultural Entanglements: Langston Hughes and the Rise of African and Caribbean Literature By Shane Graham (author)
2020 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0813944112 | EPUB | 1 MB
In addition to being a poet, fiction writer, playwright, and essayist, Langston Hughes was also a globe-trotting cosmopolitan, travel writer, translator, avid international networker, and–perhaps above all–pan-Africanist. In Cultural Entanglements, Shane Graham examines Hughes’s associations with a number of black writers from the Caribbean and Africa, exploring the implications of recognizing these multiple facets of the African American literary icon and of taking a truly transnational approach to his life, work, and influence.Graham isolates and maps Hughes’s cluster of black Atlantic relations and interprets their significance. Moving chronologically through Hughes’s career from the 1920s to the 1960s, he spotlights Jamaican poet and novelist Claude McKay, Haitian novelist and poet Jacques Roumain, French Negritude author Aimé Césaire of Martinique, South African writers Es’kia Mphahlele and Peter Abrahams, and Caribbean American novelist Paule Marshall. Taken collectively, these writers’ intellectual relationships with Hughes and with one another reveal a complex conversation–and sometimes a heated debate–happening globally throughout the twentieth century over what Africa signified and what it meant to be black in the modern world. Graham makes a truly original contribution not only to the study of Langston Hughes and African and Caribbean literatures but also to contemporary debates about cosmopolitanism, the black Atlantic, and transnational cultures.
