Recollecting History Beyond Borders Capt
Lhoussain Simour, "Recollecting History Beyond Borders Capt"
English | ISBN: 1443866849 | 2014 | 240 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Recollecting History beyond Borders looks closely at the experience of Moroccan captives, acrobats and dancing women in America throughout various historical periods. It explores the mobility of Moroccans beyond borders and their cultural interactions with the American self and civilization, and offers a broad discussion on the negotiation of the complex dynamics of representation and on the various discursive ramifications of the cultural contacts initiated by ordinary Moroccan travellers. It also recovers some undocumented narratives of Moroccans, whose less-studied transatlantic experiences and journeys help to fill in some gaps in the history of Moroccan-American cultural encounters. Enslaved Moroccans who unwillingly made trips across the Atlantic, as well as acrobats and dancers who were an integral part of the American amusement industry in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, have often been neglected in the archives of history, and have not been considered to be a valid and pertinent subject of inquiry. Retrieving their narratives, staging them as real agents of history and taking their experiences critically open up new possibilities of adding the cultural and intellectual dimensions of the Atlantic liaison to Moroccan history, which has generally focused more profoundly on the Mediterranean in dealing with cultural encounters with the west. This study also introduces some forgotten archival information about Moroccans, and provides a critical account of their experiences by reading such documents as discursive instances of ethnic and cultural encounters. Slaveholder ledgers, newspaper archives and magazines, naturalization indexes and census records, legal records and court sues, and records of professional occupations and apprenticeships, as well as wedding and divorce documents, in which Moroccans appeared in America are all modalities that offer not only openings into unheard-of stories about situations and experiences of cultural encounters with the West that are ultimately worth tracking and discovering, but also interesting research venues on complex discourses about a new revisionist historiography. This book unearths the repertoire of cultural tropes of difference from their frozen position in archives, and reads them in the light of their historical contexts and beyond the mechanisms of hegemonic discourses dictated by archival authority, and, as such, provides new critical openings which go beyond views that conceive of the Other as victim or mere object of study.

E-BooksBoundaries, Borders and Frontiers in Archaeology A Study of Spatial Relationships



Boundaries, Borders and Frontiers in Archaeology A Study of Spatial Relationships
Bryan Feuer, "Boundaries, Borders and Frontiers in Archaeology: A Study of Spatial Relationships"
English | 2016 | pages: 164 | ISBN: 0786473436 | PDF | 1,9 mb
Until fairly recently, archaeological research has been directed primarily toward the centers of societies rather than their perimeters. Yet frontiers and borders, precisely because they are peripheral, promote interaction between people of different polities and cultures, with a wide range of potential outcomes. Much work has begun to redress this disparity of focus.

E-BooksCrossing Borders in East Asian Higher Education



Crossing Borders in East Asian Higher Education
Crossing Borders in East Asian Higher Education By David W. Chapman, William K. Cummings, Gerard A. Postiglione
2010 | 408 Pages | ISBN: 9400704453 | PDF | 3 MB
This book examines issues that have emerged as higher education systems and individual institutions across East Asia confront and adapt to the changing economic, social, and educational environments in which they now operate. The book's focus is on how higher education systems learn from each other and on the ways in which they collaborate to address new challenges. The sub-theme that runs through this volume concerns the changing nature of cross-border sharing. In particular, the provision of technical assistance by more industrialized countries to lower and middle income countries has given way to collaborations that place the latter's participating institutions on a more equal footing.

E-BooksArt beyond Borders Artistic Exchange in Communist Europe (1945-1989)






Art beyond Borders Artistic Exchange in Communist Europe (1945-1989)
Jérôme Bazin, Pascal Dubourg Glatigny, Piotr Piotrowski, "Art beyond Borders: Artistic Exchange in Communist Europe (1945-1989)"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 9633860830 | PDF | pages: 532 | 125.3 mb
This book presents and analyzes artistic interactions both within the Soviet bloc and with the West between 1945 and 1989. During the Cold War the exchange of artistic ideas and products united Europe's avant-garde in a most remarkable way. Despite the Iron Curtain and national and political borders there existed a constant flow of artists, artworks, artistic ideas and practices. The geographic borders of these exchanges have yet to be clearly defined. How were networks, centers, peripheries (local, national and international), scales, and distances constructed? How did (neo)avant-garde tendencies relate with officially sanctioned socialist realism?
