Every major political and social dispute of the twentieth century has been fought on the backs of our children, from the economic reforms of the progressive era through the social readjustments of civil rights era and on to the current explosion of anxieties about everything from the national debt to the digital revolution. Far from noncombatants whom we seek to protect from the contamination posed by adult knowledge, children form the very basis on which we fight over the nature and values of our society, and over our hopes and fears for the future. Unfortunately, our understanding of childhood and children has not kept pace with their crucial and rapidly changing roles in our culture. Pulling together a range of different thinkers who have rethought the myths of childhood innocence, The Children's Culture Reader develops a profile of children as creative and critical thinkers who shape society even as it shapes them. Representing a range of thinking from history, psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics, women's studies, literature, and media studies, The Children's Culture Reader focuses on issues of parent-child relations, child labor, education, play, and especially the relationship of children to mass media and consumer culture. The contributors include Martha Wolfenstein, Philippe Aries, Jacqueline Rose, James Kincaid, Lynn Spigel, Valerie Walkerdine, Ellen Seiter, Annette Kuhn, Eve Sedgwick, Henry Giroux, and Nancy Scheper-Hughes. Including a groundbreaking introduction by the editor and a sourcebook section which excerpts a range of material from popular magazines to child rearing guides from the past 75 years, The Children's Culture Reader will propel our understanding of children and childhood into the next century.
Fashion and Beauty in the Time of Asia
How transnational modernity is taking shape in and in relation to Asia Fashion and Beauty in the Time of Asia considers the role of bodily aesthetics in the shaping of Asian modernities and the formation of the so-called “Asian Century.” S. Heijin Lee, Christina H. Moon, and Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu train our eyes on sites as far-flung, varied, and intimate as Guangzhou and Los Angeles, Saigon and Seoul, New York and Toronto. They map the transregional connections, ever-evolving aspirations and sensibilities, and new worlds and life paths forged through engagements with fashion and beauty.Contributors consider American influence on plastic surgery in Korea, Vietnamese debates about “the fashionable,” and the costs and commitments demanded of those who make and wear fast fashion, from Chinese garment workers to Nepalese nail technicians in New York who are mandated to dress «fashionably.» In doing so, this interdisciplinary anthology moves beyond common characterizations of Asians and the Asian diaspora as simply abject laborers or frenzied consumers, analyzing who the modern Asian subject is now: what they wear and how they work, move, eat, and shop.
Contemporary Asian America (third edition)
The third edition of the foundational volume in Asian American studies Who are Asian Americans? Moving beyond popular stereotypes of the “model minority” or “forever foreigner,” most Americans know surprisingly little of the nation’s fastest growing minority population. Since the 1960s, when different Asian immigrant groups came together under the “Asian American” umbrella, they have tirelessly carved out their presence in the labor market, education, politics, and pop culture. Many times, they have done so in the face of racism, discrimination, sexism, homophobia, and socioeconomic disadvantage. Today, contemporary Asian America has emerged as an incredibly diverse population, with each segment of the community facing its unique challenges. When Contemporary Asian America was first published in 2000, it exposed its readers to the formation and development of Asian American studies as an academic field of study, from its inception as part of the ethnic consciousness movement of the 1960s to the systematic inquiry into more contemporary theoretical and practical issues facing Asian America at the century’s end. It was the first volume to integrate a broad range of interdisciplinary research and approaches from a social science perspective to assess the effects of immigration, community development, and socialization on Asian American communities. This updated third edition discusses the impact of September 11 on Asian American identity and citizenship; the continued influence of globalization on past and present waves of immigration; and the intersection of race, gender, sexuality, and class on the experiences of Asian immigrants and their children. The volume also provides study questions and recommended supplementary readings and documentary films. This critical text offers a broad overview of Asian American studies and the current state of Asian America.
The Final Pagan Generation
The Final Pagan Generation recounts the fascinating story of the lives and fortunes of the last Romans born before the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. Edward J. Watts traces their experiences of living through the fourth century’s dramatic religious and political changes, when heated confrontations saw the Christian establishment legislate against pagan practices as mobs attacked pagan holy sites and temples. The emperors who issued these laws, the imperial officials charged with implementing them, and the Christian perpetrators of religious violence were almost exclusively young men whose attitudes and actions contrasted markedly with those of the earlier generation, who shared neither their juniors’ interest in creating sharply defined religious identities nor their propensity for violent conflict. Watts examines why the «final pagan generation»—born to the old ways and the old world in which it seemed to everyone that religious practices would continue as they had for the past two thousand years—proved both unable to anticipate the changes that imperially sponsored Christianity produced and unwilling to resist them. A compelling and provocative read, suitable for the general reader as well as students and scholars of the ancient world.
Comentarios de las Guerras (Guerra de las Galias - Guerra Civil - Guerra de la Alejandría - Guerra de África - Guerra de España)
ÍNDICE: –Comentario de la Guerra de LAS GALIAS (CON NOTAS DE NAPOLEÓN) –Comentario de la Guerra CIVIL –Comentario de la Guerra LA ALEJANDRÍA –Comentario de la Guerra de ÁFRICA –Comentario de la Guerra de ESPAÑA *** Cayo Julio César o Gayo Julio Césara (100-44 a. C.) fue un político y militar romano del siglo I a. C. miembro de los patricios Julios Césares que alcanzó las más altas magistraturas del Estado romano y dominó la política de la República tras vencer en la guerra civil que le enfrentó al sector más conservador del Senado. La obra escrita que llega hasta nuestros días coloca a César entre los grandes maestros de la lengua latina. Sus trabajos conocidos incluyen: –De Bello Gallico – Comentarios sobre las campañas de la Galia –De Bello Civili – Comentarios sobre la guerra civil No se puede asegurar que la autoría del llamado «Corpus Cesariano» o «Tria Bella», esto es la Guerra de Alejandría, la Guerra de África y la Guerra de Hispania, sea de César y entre sus traductores existe un consenso generalizado acerca de que no fueron escritas por él, aunque sí están posiblemente basadas en sus notas. Tanto la Guerra de las Galias como la Guerra Civil, son indiscutiblemente obra de César y están escritas en un latín de gran perfección sintáctica. Ambas son prueba de la erudición de su autor y fueron usadas, sobre todo, como propaganda ante el Senado y el pueblo de Roma. En ellas hace importantísimas referencias a múltiples aspectos de la vida cotidiana en el ejército romano de la tardorrepública, de su organización, tácticas, técnicas y armamento Asimismo, hizo descripciones etnográficas de pueblos celtas y germanos incluyendo temas como la organización social y militar, la religión o la lengua que aún hoy en día son de obligado estudio para los expertos en las diferentes materias. Igualmente describió lugares geográficos, como la Selva Hercinia, y describe en sus escritos importantes aspectos que permiten comprender mejor la política de la República romana de los últimos años del siglo i a. C. y a figuras como Pompeyo, Cicerón, Catón y otros. Además se sabe que sentía curiosidad por muchos temas, desde la filosofía griega hasta la astronomía, pasando por temas sagrados o lingüísticos. Por referencias en otros autores clásicos, se sabe que César compuso un tratado de astronomía, otro de lingüística y otro más sobre augurios, pero se han perdido y no se conoce ni siquiera un párrafo de ellos. También se sabe por Suetonio que compuso un tratado en defensa suya llamado el Anticatón, dos libros sobre la Analogía y, al menos, un poema llamado El Camino; en su juventud escribió las Alabanzas de Hércules, una tragedia con el título de Edipo y una Colección de frases selectas. Parece ser que se conservaban sus oficios al Senado, sus cartas a Cicerón y su correspondencia privada. Sin embargo, Augusto prohibió a su bibliotecario que todos estos documentos fueran copiados o publicados, por lo que acabaron perdiéndose. Se sabe que era un magnífico orador, pues tanto Plutarco como Suetonio lo mencionan, y parece ser que también Cicerón y Cornelio Nepote avalaban esta opinión. También se conoce que empleaba un latín de gran perfección. La obra conocida de César no puede tomarse como la de un historiador moderno, pues su intención no era esa.

Чечня. Политическая и общественная обстановка. 1920—30 гг.
Муслим Махмедгириевич Мурдалов
Самый малоизученный период истории чеченцев и Северного Кавказа – 1920–30-е годы. Советская власть первой пятилетки сделала для советского народа очень много полезного, но уже со второй пятилетки – эпоха крестьянских восстаний, стихийных бунтов, массового сопротивления органов Советской власти и в России, и на Северном Кавказе.
