Post Anthropocenes: Postcolonial, Postmodern, and Posthuman Ecocriticism explores three distinct yet interrelated approaches to understanding the significance of the Anthropocene. Using the lenses of postcolonialism, postmodernism, and posthumanism, the book identifies ways that the Anthropocene forces us to reevaluate the relationship between humanity and nature. The chapters offer a coherent framework to anticipate what lies beyond the Anthropocene.Douglas A. Vakoch is president of METI International, a scientific organization dedicated to Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI), a multigenerational research transmitting radio signals to nearby stars. Many of his ecocritical books take ecofeminist approaches, such as The Routledge Handbook of Ecofeminism and Literature (2023), Indian Feminist Ecocriticism (2022), Ecofeminist Science Fiction: International Perspectives on Gender, Ecology, and Literature (2021), Literature and Ecofeminism: Intersectional and International Voices (2018), and Feminist Ecocriticism: Environment, Women, and Literature (2012). Vakoch is general editor of three scholarly book series: Ecocritical Theory and Practice, Environment and Society, and Critical Plant Studies.

Unter welchen historischen Bedingungen und mit welchen Auswirkungen wurde der Computer zum Bestandteil des Wohnalltags? Und wie verhält es sich dabei mit Praktiken des Wohnens und Wohnungseinrichtens? Die Beiträger*innen werfen einen Blick auf die Computerisierung des Zuhauses und zeigen, wie sie sich vollzieht. Der Fokus ihrer Analyse liegt einerseits darauf, wie Arbeit und Assistenz das Wohnen im Hinblick auf den Computer konfigurieren, andererseits stellen sie die Archäologie der (Wohn-)Umgebungen des Computers infrage - und geben so einen kompakten medienhistorischen Überblick über den Beginn des Smart Homes.

Genders and Sexualities in History

This book reorients our understanding of the history of modern male homosexuality by focusing on Europe's 'internal Other': Italy. Spanning from the tail-end of the Grand Tour to the mid-fascist years, it argues that Italy was a time/space in which competing epistemologies of homosexuality confronted one another – precisely what characterizes 'modern' male same-sex love and attraction. Turning our understanding of the history of male homosexuality on its head, it proposes that Italy was not primitive, pre-modern, or under-developed but modern in a way that Europe and the US were not. It also highlights the frequently overlooked role working-class men and boys played in the so-called invention of modern male homosexuality. The new scientific epistemologies of sexuality; a pan-European Hellenic revival; a tradition of fostering male same-sex intimacies that cut across age, class, and nationality; Italy's lack of anti-sodomy legislation and specific place in the capitalist world system, including the late entry of bourgeois women into its public sphere; changing understandings of sexuality and gender that resulted from industrialization -- all combined to produce a same-sex sex tourism industry that juxtaposed competing understandings of male same-sex love. These epistemologies were inflected in complex and contradictory ways by issues of gender, class, ethnicity, locality, age and race, such differences not simply 'intersecting' but being constituted alongside one another – particularly given Italy’s ambiguous racial identity, somewhere 'between' the binaries of black and white. Adopting a queer Marxist approach that focuses on both capitalism's long durée and its combined and uneven development, rather than center a history of modern homosexuality on the white bourgeois men who visited Italy, this book seeks to glimpse the lives of their Italian lovers. To this end, it adopts an interdisciplinary approach that examines a wide archive including not only works of literature by privileged white bourgeois traveling gentlemen but also Italian sexology; same-sex sex scandals and their treatment in the Italian press; anthropological work on Italian homosexualities; travel diaries; and police records.John Champagne is Professor Emeritus at Penn State Erie, the Behrend College, USA.

For 125 years, the Museum of Decorative Arts (Kunstgewerbemuseum) at Dresden's Pillnitz Palace has been home to a treasure trove of Japanese craftsmanship that has remained largely unknown. It consists of 92 cassettes holding more than 15,000 dyeing stencils for textile printing. These so-called katagami were used primarily for fabrics from which the kimonos of samurais were tailored. They show geometric ornaments as well as patterns and motifs depicting elements of nature in virtuoso abstraction, and were handmade from mulberry bark in a lengthy process and engraved using the finest cutting techniques. Fabrics decorated with katagami prints came to Europe in the 19th century and soon had a strong influence on fine and applied art as well as emerging industrial design. This ancient technique remains influential today in graffiti and street art, for example in the works of celebrated street artist and political activist Banksy.This opulent book features for the first time around 140 katagami of outstanding quality from the unique Dresden collection. The selection is dedicated to the representation of rain and water, which have been of major spiritual and cultural significance throughout Japan's history. Some 220 illustrations, mainly in full color, are supplemented with essays by international scholars, who explore in detail all aspects of these fascinating works of Japanese applied art.

Faith, Commerce, and Cultural Exchange in the World of Ibn Battuta

"In&nbsp;Exciting the Body&nbsp;Hernández Barbosa builds a highly original and cohesive argument about sensory stimulation as it has intersected with the history of commercial culture. The author brings fresh perspectives on the study of consumer culture by applying theoretical insights drawn from musicology, cultural history and art history to analyse a wide range of sources, including sounds that affect the senses. This interdisciplinary book would appeal to those interested in the history of commercial culture, visual culture, and musicology."— Haejeong Hazel Hahn, Professor of History, Seattle University, USA&nbsp;This book uncovers how during the origins of modernity in the nineteenth century the senses were&nbsp;mobilised to sell more, both through the popularisation of objects aimed at the senses (such as panoramas,&nbsp;optical boxes, automatons, music boxes and pianolas), and also through marketing mechanisms&nbsp;(for example, advertising and window dressing). All these novel objects and spaces had one thing in common:&nbsp;the aim of attracting the public by stimulating the senses. By examining practices that mobilised the&nbsp;senses in the emerging fields of advertising, marketing and the leisure industry, and through an&nbsp;approach that involves elements from the history of the senses, visual studies,&nbsp;sound studies and aesthetics, this book explores what this new sensory-driven mass culture was all&nbsp;about.The basis of English translation of this book, originally in Spanish Vidas excitadas. Sensorialidad y capitalismo en la cultura moderna&nbsp;(2022), was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The author, with the support of Lucille Banham, has subsequently revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically.&nbsp;Sonsoles Hernández Barbosa&nbsp;is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Historical Sciences and Art Theory at the University of the&nbsp;Balearic Islands, Spain.

This book describes the fruit of the establishment of the Yili Khanate by the Mongols in the Asian and European civilization, which is linked by the ancient Silk Road-fine paintings.

By analyzing the illustration styles and techniques in the Collection of History and the Chronicles of Kings, this book describes the influence of Chinese book prints on the fine painting of Iranian manuscripts.Nasrin Dastan, Ph.D. History of Chinese Arts (Han &amp;Tang dynasty) Central Academy of Fine Arts.Now she is Assistant Professor &amp; Head of Oriental Arts Department in Institute of Arts Studies &amp;Academic Research (IASAR)Iranian Academy of Art.The published works are Chinese Elements in Persian Paintings,Art of Dunhuang Caves and Artistic relation through the Silk road,etc.
