【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Stochastic Models for Structured Populations Scaling Limits and Long Time Behavior【電子書籍】[ Sylvie Meleard ]

＜p＞In this contribution, several probabilistic tools to study population dynamics are developed. The focus is on scaling limits of qualitatively different stochastic individual based models and the long time behavior of some classes of limiting processes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Structured population dynamics are modeled by measure-valued processes describing the individual behaviors and taking into account the demographic and mutational parameters, and possible interactions between individuals. Many quantitative parameters appear in these models and several relevant normalizations are considered, leading to infinite-dimensional deterministic or stochastic large-population approximations. Biologically relevant questions are considered, such as extinction criteria, the effect of large birth events, the impact of environmental catastrophes, the mutation-selection trade-off, recovery criteria in parasite infections, genealogical properties of a sample ofindividuals.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These notes originated from a lecture series on Structured Population Dynamics at Ecole polytechnique (France).＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Vincent Bansaye and Sylvie M?l?ard＜/strong＞ are Professors at Ecole Polytechnique (France). They are a specialists of branching processes and random particle systems in biology. Most of their research concerns the applications of probability to biodiversity, ecology and evolution.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Country of My Skull Guilt, Sorrow, and the Limits of Forgiveness in the New South Africa【電子書籍】[ Antjie Krog ]

＜p＞Ever since Nelson Mandela dramatically walked out of prison in 1990 after twenty-seven years behind bars, South Africa has been undergoing a radical transformation. In one of the most miraculous events of the century, the oppressive system of apartheid was dismantled. Repressive laws mandating separation of the races were thrown out. The country, which had been carved into a crazy quilt that reserved the most prosperous areas for whites and the most desolate and backward for blacks, was reunited. The dreaded and dangerous security force, which for years had systematically tortured, spied upon, and harassed people of color and their white supporters, was dismantled. But how could this country--one of spectacular beauty and promise--come to terms with its ugly past? How could its people, whom the oppressive white government had pitted against one another, live side by side as friends and neighbors?＜/p＞ ＜p＞To begin the healing process, Nelson Mandela created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, headed by the renowned cleric Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Established in 1995, the commission faced the awesome task of hearing the testimony of the victims of apartheid as well as the oppressors. Amnesty was granted to those who offered a full confession of any crimes associated with apartheid. Since the commission began its work, it has been the central player in a drama that has riveted the country. In this book, Antjie Krog, a South African journalist and poet who has covered the work of the commission, recounts the drama, the horrors, the wrenching personal stories of the victims and their families. Through the testimonies of victims of abuse and violence, from the appearance of Winnie Mandela to former South African president P. W. Botha's extraordinary courthouse press conference, this award-winning poet leads us on an amazing journey.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Country of My Skull＜/strong＞ captures the complexity of the Truth Commission's work. The narrative is often traumatic, vivid, and provocative. Krog's powerful prose lures the reader actively and inventively through a mosaic of insights, impressions, and secret themes. This compelling tale is Antjie Krog's profound literary account of the mending of a country that was in colossal need of change.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Self In The System Expanding The Limits Of Family Therapy【電子書籍】[ Michael P. Nichols ]

＜p＞First published in 1988. This thought-provoking volume offers a constructive critical analysis of family therapy for its neglect of the self in the system, and provides a therapeutic approach to clinical problems that takes into account both individual and family dynamics. The author shows that by elevating the metaphor of the system to dogma, family therapy has lost sight of much of the richness and complicating influence of personal feeling, motivation, and conflict, resulting in a proliferation of esoteric, abstract theories and highly mechanistic, technical interventions. The Self in the System describes a different reality that is often overlooked: no matter how much their behavior is coordinated within the system, family members remain separate individuals with private hopes and ambitions, motives and expectations, quirks and foibles, and potentials for creative work. This book provides a unique approach that develops a better understanding of family members' individual experiences, and helps in enhancing their personal responsibility and ability to solve their own interactional problems within the family system. The approach, however, is not just another version of psychoanalytic family therapy, but rather one that utilizes the best tools of family therapy and the most useful ideas from individual psychology and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Chapters cover such important topics as finding the family and losing the self; the problem of change; working with interaction; the effective use of empathy; making assessments that include both the whole family system and the psychology of its members; interactional psychodynamics; a practical guide to object relations theory; how to develop understanding; and working with resistance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Offensive Speech, Religion, and the Limits of the Law【電子書籍】[ Nicholas Hatzis ]

＜p＞Is the government ever justified in restricting offensive speech? This question has become particularly important in relation to communications which offend religious sensibilities. It is often argued that insulting a person's beliefs is tantamount to disrespecting the believer; that insults are a form of hatred or intolerance; that the right to religious freedom includes a more specific right not to be insulted in one's beliefs; that religious minorities have a particularly strong claim to be protected from offence; and that censorship of offensive speech is necessary for the prevention of social disorder and violence. None of those arguments is convincing. Drawing on law and philosophy, this book argues that there is no moral right to be protected from offence and that, while freedom of religion is an important right that grounds negative and positive obligations for the state, it is unpersuasive to interpret constitutional and human rights provisions as including a right not to be caused offence. Rather, we have good reasons to think of public discourse as a space for the expression of all viewpoints about the ethical life, including those which some will find offensive. This is necessary to sustain a society's capacity for self-reflection and change.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Limits of Resolution【電子書籍】[ Geoffrey de Villiers ]

＜p＞"This beautiful book can be read as a novel presenting carefully our quest to get more and more information from our observations and measurements. Its authors are particularly good at relating it." --Pierre C. Sabatier＜/p＞ ＜p＞"This is a unique text - a labor of love pulling together for the first time the remarkably large array of mathematical and statistical techniques used for analysis of resolution in many systems of importance today ? optical, acoustical, radar, etc…. I believe it will find widespread use and value." --Dr. Robert G.W. Brown, Chief Executive Officer, American Institute of Physics＜/p＞ ＜p＞"The mix of physics and mathematics is a unique feature of this book which can be basic not only for PhD students but also for researchers in the area of computational imaging." --Mario Bertero, Professor, University of Geneva＜/p＞ ＜p＞"a tour-de-force covering aspects of history, mathematical theory and practical applications. The authors provide a penetrating insight into the often confused topic of resolution and in doing offer a unifying approach to the subject that is applicable not only to traditional optical systems but also modern day, computer-based systems such as radar and RF communications." --Prof. Ian Proudler, Loughborough University＜/p＞ ＜p＞"a ‘must have’ for anyone interested in imaging and the spatial resolution of images. This book provides detailed and very readable account of resolution in imaging and organizes the recent history of the subject in excellent fashion.… I strongly recommend it." --Michael A. Fiddy, Professor, University of North Carolina at Charlotte＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book brings together the concept of resolution, which limits what we can determine about our physical world, with the theory of linear inverse problems, emphasizing practical applications. The book focuses on methods for solving illposed problems that do not have unique stable solutions. After introducing basic concepts, the contents address problems with "continuous" data in detail before turning to cases of discrete data sets. As one of the unifying principles of the text, the authors explain how non-uniqueness is a feature of measurement problems in science where precision and resolution is essentially always limited by some kind of noise.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Times of Victory Living Without Limits【電子書籍】[ Pedro Luis Adames Valdez ]

＜p＞Times of Victory by Pedro Luis Adames Valdez A Place Under God's Wing The Meditations of Pedro Luis Adames Valdez The topic of religion is one that's becoming increasingly contested with the advent of globalization as it became increasingly apparent that there are more many more faiths out there than meet the eye. Each and every one has its own belief system and designations, with a few being much more heavily-proliferated and discussed than others, namely Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Simultaneously, the sceptics are more numerous than ever before, with atheism and agnosticism gaining popularity, especially amongst the intelligent elite. Whether or not you're a religious person though, I believe that there is much for us to learn from the teachings passed down through holy scriptures for they often connect with our lives in surprisingly non-religious ways. I myself am not a religious person, and thus it is precisely the approach I took to Times of Victory by Pedro Luis Adames Valdez. For those who aren't familiar with the man, Valdez came from the small town of Altagracia (High Grace) in the Dominican Republic, and to keep things short, his life definitely hasn't been on the easy side. Squalor and a fractured family set the stage for his road towards God, and since then he has grown into an international sensation, his preaching having been heard in a couple dozen countries around the world. In this book of his, Valdez expresses the culmination of his life's work and experience following God, serving him and his fellow man as best he can. It's divided into twenty-three chapters, each one tackling a specific topic always in relation to religion, such as the importance of obeying God, of learning to recognize his miracles and how to reach out and bask in his light, just to name a few. However, in addition to that Valdez also takes the time to create connections between those religious teachings and our daily lives, looking at ways in which we can apply them to our mundane trials and tribulations. Ultimately, he seeks to impart a mindset which he believes can help one to attain happiness while improving the world around them. He complements his meditations with various passages from the bible which hold special significance for him, as well as personal stories and anecdotes that help cement his ideas. A Matter of Approach To start things off, let us examine this book as viewed from the perspective of a devout Christian. Though I myself cannot be classified in that group, I can still provide my objective opinion, which is that Times of Victory is a thinking person's book that could serve people of any religion quite well. The interpretations and arguments are as far from baseless as you can imagine, with there always being a firm logical structure based on concrete experiences to back everything up. Valdez has this gift of being able to interpret biblical texts in a sort of practical, rational and modern way to help them gain a meaning that is concurrent with contemporary times. His approach to understanding his religion is one many of us would do well to model after. In other words, I believe if you're a religious person, at best you'll gain plenty of new and interesting insights to mull over, and at worst you'll come to learn about Valdez's unusual perspective on things. On the other hand, if like myself you are not a religious person, then you're likely thinking that this book is just not up your alley and not even consider it. However, there is much to be learned here outside the scope of God and religion, a way of life that anyone can apply themselves to and strive to improve the world around them. Valdez gives very tangible reasons and arguments as to why a life dedicated to helping others and appreciating the beauty of this world is one heavily worth considering, and that alone I believe is reason enough to read it. A Marriage of Entertainment and Religion So far I may have made it sound like this book is a strict and serious work of writing one must read wit furrowed brows. However, the truth is much closer to the opposite side of the spectrum. The many personal stories and anecdotes shared by Valdez are often touching, revealing, thought-provoking and comical, with the man having a great sense of humour as well as quality penmanship to help convey it. While some of them do feel a tad tame in comparison with the gut-wrenching biographies of the innumerable James Bonds and Ramboes that seem to have graced the world in the past decades, they all have a curious, if not educative element that elevates them above the status of mere stories. None of the passages feel boring or as if they drag on, with virtually all chapters lasting one to three pages, concise as ever in their purpose. As a matter of fact, at about seventy pages long, there is literally nowhere to get bogged down in this book and you'll no doubt finish it in a short evening. In other words, the author understands exactly what his audience wants and needs. While there are a few tiny hiccups when it comes to the translation, on the whole the book is well written and I wager none of the meaning has been lost. The Final Verdict To finish things off, I believe Times of Victory to be an insightful, funny and educative read that will serve different people in varying ways, depending on which walks of life they come from. If you have an afternoon to spare and would like to witness a learned man's perspective on God, life and the human condition, then you should definitely give the book a shot. The road towards absolute enlightenment appears infinite, but I feel this is one piece of writing that can move us forth along that path ever so slightly.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Fighting Unemployment The Limits of Free Market Orthodoxy【電子書籍】

＜p＞With much of Europe plagued by high levels of unemployment, it has become widely accepted that the culprit is labor market rigidity and that the prescription can only be labor market deregulation: lower wages, higher earnings inequality, greater decentralization in bargaining, less generous unemployment benefits, more hiring flexibility, and less job security. ＜em＞Fighting Unemployment＜/em＞ critically assesses this free market orthodoxy. With cross-country statistical analyses and country case studies, leading economists from seven North American and European countries contend that this conventional wisdom has greatly exaggerated the extent to which the unemployment problem can be blamed on protective labor market institutions and that the case for dismantling the welfare state to fight unemployment rests more on free market ideology than on the empirical evidence. The larger message of this book is that fundamentally different labor market models - ranging from the 'American Model' to the much more regulated and coordinated Scandinavian systems - are compatible with low unemployment.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Hateful and the Obscene Studies in the Limits of Free Expression【電子書籍】[ Leonard Sumner ]

＜p＞In a series of landmark decisions since 1990, Canadian courts have shaped a distinctive approach to the regulation of obscenity, hate literature, and child pornography. Missing from the debate, however, has been any attempt to determine whether the legal status quo can be justified by reference to a framework of moral/political principles. ＜em＞The Hateful and the Obscene＜/em＞ is intended to fill that gap.＜/p＞ ＜p＞L.W. Sumner brings philosophical depth and theoretical rigour to some of the most important and difficult questions concerning free expression. Building on a framework set out by J.S. Mill ? that a legal restriction of expression is justified only when the expression in question is harmful to others and when the benefits of the restriction will exceed its costs ? Sumner shows how the Canadian courts have replicated Mill's framework in their interpretation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Hateful and the Obscene＜/em＞ is a compelling interpretation of freedom of expression that combines serious philosophical thought with a focus on Canadian law, thus maintaining the breadth to deal with both obscenity and hate literature.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Raiding the Land of the Foreigners The Limits of the Nation on an Indonesian Frontier【電子書籍】[ Danilyn Rutherford ]

＜p＞What are the limits of national belonging? Focusing on Biak--a set of islands off the coast of western New Guinea, in the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya--Danilyn Rutherford's analysis calls for a rethinking of the nature of national identity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With the resurgence of separatism in the province, Irian Jaya has become the focus of fears that the Indonesian nation is falling apart. Yet in the early 1990s, the fieldwork for this book was made possible by the government's belief that Biaks were finally beginning to see themselves as Indonesians. Taking in the dynamics of Biak social life and the islands' long history of millennial unrest, Rutherford shows how practices that indicated Biaks' submission to national authority actually reproduced antinational understandings of space, time, and self. Approaching the foreign as a focus of longing in cultural arenas ranging from kinship to Christianity, Biaks participated in Indonesian national institutions without accepting the identities they promoted. Their remarkable response to the Indonesian government (and earlier polities laying claim to western New Guinea) suggests the limits of national identity and modernity, writ large.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is one of the few books reporting on the volatile province of Irian Jaya. It offers a new way of thinking about the nation and its limits--one that moves beyond the conventions of both scholarship and recent journalism. It shows how people can "belong" to a nation yet maintain commitments that fall both short of and beyond the nation state.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Space and Muslim Urban Life At the Limits of the Labyrinth of Fez【電子書籍】[ Simon O'Meara ]

＜p＞This book develops academic understanding of Muslim urban space by pursuing the structural logic of the premodern Arab-Muslim city, or medina. With particular reference to ＜em＞The Book of Walls＜/em＞, an historical discourse of Islamic law whose primary subject is the wall, the book determines the meaning of a wall and then uses it to analyze the space of Fez.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One of a growing number of studies to address space as a category of critical analysis, the book makes the following contributions to scholarship. Methodologically, it breaks with the tradition of viewing Islamic architecture as a well-defined object observed by a specialist at an aesthetically directed distance; rather, it inhabits the logic of this architecture by rethinking it discursively from within the culture that produced it. Hermeneutically, it sheds new light on one of North Africa's oldest medinas, and thereby illuminates a type of environment still common to much of the Arab-Muslim world. Empirically, it brings to the attention of mainstream scholarship a legal discourse and aesthetic that contributed to the form and longevity of this type of environment; and it exposes a preoccupation with walls and other limits in premodern urban Arab-Muslim culture, and a mythical paradigm informing the foundation narratives of a number of historic medinas.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Presenting a fresh perspective for the understanding of Muslim urban society and thought, this innovative study will be of interest to students and researchers of Islamic studies, architecture and sociology.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Unforgivable? Exploring the Limits of Forgiveness【電子書籍】[ Stephen Cherry ]

＜p＞Forgiveness is a lovely idea, wrote C. S. Lewis, and in recent decades it has been seen and admired in situations ranging from therapy to politics, and proposed as a constructive pathway in the aftermath of abuse and atrocity. Not everyone is impressed, however, and in parallel with praise and promotion of forgiveness, cries of 'unforgivable' are uttered with increased shrillness and frequency.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this hugely compelling, wide-ranging, and thought-provoking book, Stephen Cherry argues that while forgiveness can be transformative in the aftermath of harm, it can also, if not handled with care, become an additional pressure and anxiety for those who have been harmed. He teases out the way in which Christian understandings often lie behind pressure to forgive, identifying a number of typical mistakes with the Christian approach to forgiveness.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reflecting on many examples from real life as well as literature, and on the insights of psychologists and philosophers, Cherry uses the tension between the desire to forgive and the protest that a person is unforgivable to push towards understandings of forgiveness that avoid the harshness of binary models. Forgiveness is not, he insists, the only good way forward after harm. A positive understanding of non-vengeful ＜em＞unforgiveness＜/em＞ is vital if the harmed are to be given the care and support they need and deserve, and if forgiveness itself is to be authentic and liberating.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cherry's challenging book brims with energy and blends human insight with intellectual vision. It argues that if forgiveness is to play a part in the aftermath of harm without inflicting further harm it must be presented in a non-idealized way and only following acknowledgement of the depth of the human impact of the harm done.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Islam and the West The Limits of Freedom of Religion【電子書籍】[ Hana Sadik El-Gallal ]

＜p＞Religious Intolerance is on the rise. Debating religious freedom often means debating ≪West≫ versus ≪Islam≫. This book challenges crucial stereotypes around this issue. It explores the scope of the right to freedom of religion in the International Treaties and Declarations and investigates why this right creates misunderstandings and misconceptions that often lead to intolerance and discrimination in countries of various political, social, and cultural backgrounds.＜br /＞ ＜em＞Islam and the West＜/em＞ attempts to find reasons for the rise of religious intolerance. The author looks at the limitation of the religious symbols law in France and the anti-terrorism measures in the USA; she discusses also Religious minorities and Apostasy in Saudia Arabia and Egypt. Furthermore, she calls for extending the scope, asking questions such as: How do societies deal with different religions and beliefs? How could and do they find ways of reconciling their conflicting demands while protecting human worth? How can universal values be found and established?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Limits of Empire: European Imperial Formations in Early Modern World History Essays in Honor of Geoffrey Parker【電子書籍】[ William Reger ]

＜p＞This volume, published in honor of historian Geoffrey Parker, explores the working of European empires in a global perspective, focusing on one of the most important themes of Parker’s work: the limits of empire, which is to say, the centrifugal forces - sacral, dynastic, military, diplomatic, geographical, informational - that plagued imperial formations in the early modern period (1500-1800). During this time of wrenching technological, demographic, climatic, and economic change, empires had to struggle with new religious movements, incipient nationalisms, new sea routes, new military technologies, and an evolving state system with complex new rules of diplomacy. Engaging with a host of current debates, the chapters in this book break away from conventional historical conceptions of empire as an essentially western phenomenon with clear demarcation lines between the colonizer and the colonized. These are replaced here by much more fluid and subtle conceptions that highlight complex interplays between coalitions of rulers and ruled. In so doing, the volume builds upon recent work that increasingly suggests that empires simply could not exist without the consent of their imperial subjects, or at least significant groups of them. This was as true for the British Raj as it was for imperial China or Russia. Whilst the thirteen chapters in this book focus on a number of geographic regions and adopt different approaches, each shares a focus on, and interest in, the working of empires and the ways that imperial formations dealt with - or failed to deal with - the challenges that beset them. Taken together, they reflect a new phase in the evolving historiography of empire. They also reflect the scholarly contributions of the dedicatee, Geoffrey Parker, whose life and work are discussed in the introductory chapters and, we’re proud to say, in a delightful chapter by Parker himself, an autobiographical reflection that closes the book.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】How Inequality Runs in Families Unfair Advantage and the Limits of Social Mobility【電子書籍】[ Gideon Calder ]

＜p＞Most people agree that every child deserves an equal chance to flourish. Most also value family life. Yet the family plays a surprisingly crucial part in maintaining inequality from one generation to the next. The children of disadvantaged parents typically achieve less and die younger. Early in their school careers, even the most able among them fall behind their better-off peers. They are then 8 times less likely to attend a top university. In the UK, as in other rich countries, the ‘playing-field’ is anything but level.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book explores how seemingly mundane aspects of family life ? from the right to inherit income, to the reading of bedtime stories ? raise fundamental questions of social justice. Taking fairness seriously, it argues, means rethinking what equality of opportunity means.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Limits of Familiarity Authorship and Romantic Readers【電子書籍】[ Lindsey Eckert ]

＜p＞What did Wordsworth wear, and where did he walk? Who was Byron’s new mistress, and how did his marriage fare? Answersーsometimes accurate, sometimes notーwere tantalizingly at the ready in the Romantic era, when confessional poetry, romans ? clef, personal essays, and gossip columns offered readers exceptional access to well-known authors. But at what point did familiarity become ＜em＞overfamiliarity＜/em＞? Widely recognized as a social virtue, familiarityーa feeling of emotional closeness or comforting predictabilityーcould also be dangerous, vulgar, or boring. In ＜em＞The Limits of Familiarity,＜/em＞ Eckert persuasively argues that such concerns shaped literary production in the Romantic period. Bringing together reception studies, celebrity studies, and literary history to reveal how anxieties about familiarity shaped both Romanticism and conceptions of authorship, this book encourages us to reflect in our own fraught historical moment on the distinction between telling all and telling all too much.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
