    The Kingdom and the Glory. For a Theological Genealogy of Economy and Government

    Engelstalige paperback, zo goed als nieuw. Like New.

    Why has power in the West assumed the form of an "economy," that is, of a government of men and things? If power is essentially government, why does it need glory, that is, the ceremonial and liturgical apparatus that has always accompanied it?

    In the early centuries of the Church, in order to reconcile monotheism with God's threefold nature, the doctrine of Trinity was introduced in the guise of an economy of divine life. It was as if the Trinity amounted to nothing more than a problem of managing and governing the heavenly house and the world. Agamben shows that, when combined with the idea of providence, this theological-economic paradigm unexpectedly lies at the origin of many of the most important categories of modern politics, from the democratic theory of the division of powers to the strategic doctrine of collateral damage, from the invisible hand of Smith's liberalism to ideas of order and security.

    But the greatest novelty to emerge from The Kingdom and the Glory is that modern power is not only government but also glory, and that the ceremonial, liturgical, and acclamatory aspects that we have regarded as vestiges of the past actually constitute the basis of Western power. Through a fascinating analysis of liturgical acclamations and ceremonial symbols of powerthe throne, the crown, purple cloth, the Fasces, and moreAgamben develops an original genealogy that illuminates the startling function of consent and of the media in modern democracies. With this book, the work begun with Homo Sacer reaches a decisive point, profoundly challenging and renewing our vision of politics.

    Niet je Moerstaal,...

    Niet je Moerstaal, anderstaligen in Nederland. Hoe het is om in Nederland te wonen als Nederlands niet je moedertaal is?

    LET OP: Dit exemplaar bevat een uitgebreide handgeschreven opdracht van de auteur aan de vorige eigenaar. Gesigneerd. Paperback, in goede staat.

    "Ruim twee miljoen inwoners van Nederland zijn elders op de wereld geboren. Voor veel van deze mensen is Nederlands niet de moedertaal (moerstaal), ze zijn 'anderstalig'. Hoe is het om anderstalig te zijn en omringd te worden door moedertaalsprekers? Tegen welke problemen loop je aan? Heeft anderstaligheid voordelen? Hoeveel impact heeft het op je leven? Taaldocent en zangeres Mariska Reijmerink is haar hele leven al gefascineerd door taal, als een wezenlijk onderdeel van je identiteit. Mariska moet er niet aan denken om in een ander land dan Nederland te gaan wonen vanwege de taalachterstand die ze dan zou hebben. Je verstaat niet wat mensen tegen je zeggen. Je begrijpt niet wat mensen bedoelen. Uitdrukkingen kunnen een bron van misverstanden zijn. In dit boek vraagt Mariska Reijmerink aan anderstaligen uit haar eigen omgeving hoe het is om in Nederland te wonen. Mensen uit Engeland, de VS, Estland, Israël, Ethiopië, Duitsland, België, Saudi-Arabië, Iran, Marokko en Syrië vertellen hun levensverhaal en hoe het anderstalig-zijn hun leven heeft beïnvloed. Het levert een brede en boeiende kijk op Nederland en zijn inwoners op. En op het leren van Nederlands in het bijzonder en het leren van een taal in het algemeen. Bovendien geeft het antwoord op de vraag of muziek helpt bij het leren van een taal" --Backcover

    The Fall of the...

    The Fall of the Ottomans. The Great War in the Middle East, 1914-1920

    Engelstalige pocket, mooi exemplaar in nieuwstaat. LIKE NEW.

    In 1914 the Ottoman Empire was depleted of men and resources after years of war against Balkan nationalist and Italian forces. But as the powers of Europe slid inexorably toward war, the Middle East could not escape the vast and enduring consequences of one of the most destructive conflicts in human history. The Great War spelled the end of the Ottomans, unleashing powerful forces that would forever change the face of the Middle East. Here, award-winning historian Eugene Rogan brings the First World War and its immediate aftermath in the Middle East to vivid life, uncovering the often ignored story of the region's crucial role in the conflict. Bolstered by German money, arms, and military advisors, the Ottomans took on the Russian, British, and French forces, and tried to provoke Jihad against the Allies in their Muslim colonies. Unlike the static killing fields of the Western Front, the war in the Middle East was fast-moving and unpredictable, with the Turks inflicting decisive defeats on the Entente in Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, and Gaza before the tide of battle turned in the Allies' favor. The postwar settlement led to the partition of Ottoman lands between the victorious powers, and laid the groundwork for the ongoing conflicts that continue to plague the modern Arab world. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the making of the modern Middle East.--From publisher description.

    The Inheritance of...

    The Inheritance of Rome. A History of Europe from 400 to 1000

    Wat dikkere Engelstalige pocket, mooi exemplaar in nieuwstaat. Like New.

    The idea that with the decline of the Roman Empire Europe entered into some immense dark age has long been viewed as inadequate by many historians. How could a world still so profoundly shaped by Rome and which encompassed such remarkable societies as the Byzantine, Carolingian and Ottonian empires, be anything other than central to the development of European history? How could a world of so many peoples, whether expanding, moving or stable, of Goths, Franks, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, whose genetic and linguistic inheritors we all are, not lie at the heart of how we understand ourselves?

    The Inheritance of Rome is a work of remarkable scope and ambition. Drawing on a wealth of new material, it is a book which will transform its many readers ideas about the crucible in which Europe would in the end be created. From the collapse of the Roman imperial system to the establishment of the new European dynastic states, perhaps this book`s most striking achievement is to make sense of an immensely long period of time, experienced by many generations of Europeans, and which, while it certainly included catastrophic invasions and turbulence, also contained long periods of continuity and achievement.

    From Ireland to Constantinople, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, this is a genuinely Europe-wide history of a new kind, with something surprising or arresting on every page.
