In an attempt to produce a nuanced and multifaceted academic dialoguing platform, the two volumes have a particular focus on the aspects of treachery, fear of difference (oppositional politics), and discourses/semiotics of mis/self-representation. The major aim of the proposed volumes is to contribute toward the often problematised conversations about the unfolding (post)colonial Sub-Saharan world which is topical in decolonial and Pan-African studies.The volumes seek to place political thinking and postcolonial political systems under the scholarly gaze with the view to highlight and enhance the participation of African cross-disciplinary scholarship in the postcolonial political processes of the continent. Most significantly, it is through such probing of the limitations of our own disciplinary perspectives which can help us appreciate the complexity of the postcolonial Sub-Saharan African politics. The first volume uses Zimbabwe as a case study, while the second volume examines postcolonial politics in Sub-Saharan Africa more broadly.The first volume uses Zimbabwe as a case study, while the second volume examines postcolonial politics in Sub-Saharan Africa more broadly.The first volume uses Zimbabwe as a case study, while the second volume examines postcolonial politics in Sub-Saharan Africa more broadly. ![]() Free Download Carol Owens, "Studying Lacan's Seminar VII " English | ISBN: 0367420333 | 2023 | 208 pages | EPUB, PDF | 752 KB + 11 MB Studying Lacan's Seminar VII offers a contemporary, critically informed set of analyses of Lacan's ethics seminar and astute reflections about what Lacan's ethics offer to the field of psychoanalytic thought today. ![]() Free Download Sari Hanafi, "Studying Islam in the Arab World " English | ISBN: 1032564083 | 2023 | 326 pages | PDF | 21 MB Addressing the rupture between religious and social sciences in Arab universities, this book provides a critical assessment of the curricula of Shariah and Islamic Studies departments across the Arab World, arguing for increased interdisciplinary dialogue. ![]() Free Download Fei Chen, "Study on the Synchronistic King List from Ashur " English | ISBN: 9004430911 | 2020 | 266 pages | PDF | 2 MB In Study on the Synchronistic King List from Ashur, CHEN Fei reconstructs the texts of the list, interprets the format of the list, and analyzes some problems, especially the purpose of its compilation. ![]() Free Download Adam Sheppard, "Study Skills for Town and Country Planning" English | ISBN: 1446249697 | 2015 | 256 pages | EPUB | 2 MB "Sheppard and Smith provide a clear, accessible and friendly guide to studying to become a planner, with great tips, insight and advice - including what employers will be looking for and the importance of lifelong learning" ![]() Free Download Studies of Epithelial Transporters and Ion Channels: Ion Channels and Transporters of Epithelia in Health and Disease - Vol. 3, Second Edition by Kirk L.

It combines a theoretical framework with empirical engagement, and brings together various approaches to these two phenomena from the structural, functional and cognitive perspectives. While this topic has been widely discussed in recent years, such studies have mostly focused on specific language and discourse types. This work, however, presents the analysis of texts from American, British, Azerbaijani, French and Russian discourses across various types and genres, and adopts an exclusive focus on pragmatic and cognitive aspects. The study of these two aspects can help reveal not only global and local (cultural) identities, but also the specific features of their discourse types and genres. As such, the book also pays extensive attention to the role the studies of text and discourse can play in exploring globalization and intercultural communication. |
