Free Download Mimesis, Expression, Construction: Fredric Jameson's Seminar on Aesthetic Theory by Fredric Jameson, edited by Octavian Eşanu English | March 12, 2024 | ISBN: 1915672163 | True EPUB | 750 pages | 13.2 MB Mimesis, Expression, Construction brings Fredric Jameson's famous Duke University seminar on Adorno's Aesthetic Theory into print for the first time.  Free Download Millionaire: The Philanderer, Gambler, and Duelist Who Invented Modern Finance By Janet Gleeson 2001 | 167 Pages | ISBN: 0743211898 | EPUB | 1 MB In the wake of Louis XIV's death, France's government teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. Enter the reformer in the unlikely guise of John Law -- a supremely charming and attractive Scot whose brilliant financial mind had thus far served only to make himself rich at the gaming tables. In one of the great image makeovers of all time, John Law recharged a devastated French economy, making him one of the most successful men in Europe. When Law founded a New World trading company, the synergistic combination of faith in his ideas and wild reports of the riches to be made in France's vast holdings in America sent the price of its shares through the roof. Investors drunk on dreams of instant wealth gave birth to the first boom-and-bust cycle -- one that created such vast wealth for shareholders that a new term was coined to describe them...millionaires.  Free Download Millennium: The End of the World and the Forging of Christendom By Tom Holland 2009 | 512 Pages | ISBN: 0349119724 | EPUB | 2 MB Of all the civilisations existing in the year 1000, that of Western Europe seemed the unlikeliest candidate for future greatness. Compared to the glittering empires of Byzantium or Islam, the splintered kingdoms on the edge of the Atlantic appeared impoverished, fearful and backward. But the anarchy of these years proved to be, not the portents of the end of the world, as many Christians had dreaded, but rather the birthpangs of a radically new order.  Free Download Tim Laming - Military Helicopters of the West Arms & Armour Press | 1991 | ISBN: 1854091115 | English | 62 pages | PDF | 60.14 MB [center]  Free Download John Cochrane, Stuart Elliott - Military Aircraft Insignia of the World Naval Institute Press | 1998 | ISBN: 155750542X | English | 144 pages | PDF | 100.88 MB The military aircraft insignia of 186 countries are covered in this essential introduction to their general history. Extensive country-by-country listings give the reader a brief history of the military air activity of a particular country and the political reasons for any changes to the insignia. Each country is accompanied by full-color line drawings showing the national markings of the era positioned on the typical aircraft that were operational at the time. This invaluable reference addresses the serious absence of adequate information about the national insignia of military aircraft and will appeal to modelers, aviation historians, and those interested in flags and heraldry. Over five hundred illustrations are included.  Free Download Robert Drews, "Militarism and the Indo-Europeanizing of Europe" English | ISBN: 0367886006 | 2019 | 296 pages | EPUB | 2 MB This book argues that the Indo-Europeanizing of Europe essentially began shortly before 1600 BC, when lands rich in natural resources were taken over by military forces from the Eurasian steppe and from southern Caucasia. First were the copper and silver mines (along with good harbors) in Greece, and the copper and gold mines of the Carpathian basin. By ca. 1500 BC other military men had taken over the amber coasts of Scandinavia and the metalworking district of the southern Alps. These military takeovers offer the most likely explanations for the origins of the Greek, Keltic, Germanic and Italic subgroups of the Indo-European language family.  Free Download Martin Lang, "Militant Aesthetics: Art Activism in the 21st Century " English | ISBN: 1350346748 | 2024 | 264 pages | PDF | 18 MB In 2008 an Iraqi artist was waterboarded as performance art. In 2010 artists upturned police cars in Russia. But what exactly do we mean by militant art and aesthetics? Bringing together the philosophy of art and politics, Martin Lang provides a comprehensive examination of militant art activism: its history, its advocates and the aesthetic theory behind it. Protest art is not a new concept and yet this book argues that after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 distinctly 21st-century forms of art activism emerged. On the one hand these became militant as artists retained belief in the possibility of radical political change through art. On the other hand, this belief developed in a hostile environment, when anti-terror legislations reclassified activists and artists as terrorists. Through first-hand interviews and experiences, Militant Aesthetics sheds light on numerous international case studies of modern art activism and the different ways they can be classified as militant. Many artists and collectives, including Grupo Etcétera in Buenos Aries, are prepared to break the law and risk arrest for their art. Others like Thomas Bresolin's Militant Training Camp utilise military uniforms in violent performances that connect with public anger, and artists such as Zthoven in the Czech Republic occupy, hack, antagonise and disrupt in increasingly militant ways. Combining these examples with the pioneering thought of Badiou, Žižek, Rancière and Mouffe, as well as up-to-date scholarship from Bishop, Léger and others, Lang investigates the instances, attributes and rules of militant art in order to introduce a new overall theory of 21st-century militant aesthetics.  Free Download Migrations in Late Mesoamerica (Maya Studies) by Christopher S. Beekman English | 2019 | ISBN: 0813066107 | 396 Pages | True PDF | 100 MB  Free Download Jacqueline Najuma Stewart, "Migrating to the Movies: Cinema and Black Urban Modernity" English | 2005 | pages: 369 | ISBN: 0520233506, 0520233492 | PDF | 5,1 mb The rise of cinema as the predominant American entertainment around the turn of the last century coincided with the migration of hundreds of thousands of African Americans from the South to the urban "land of hope" in the North. This richly illustrated book, discussing many early films and illuminating black urban life in this period, is the first detailed look at the numerous early relationships between African Americans and cinema. It investigates African American migrations onto the screen, into the audience, and behind the camera, showing that African American urban populations and cinema shaped each other in powerful ways.  Free Download Hans J. Ladegaard, "Migrant Workers' Narratives of Return " English | ISBN: 1032202580 | 2023 | 166 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 11 MB Drawing on a corpus of 113 narratives told by migrant workers who have returned to their home country, Ladegaard details Indonesian and Filipina (domestic) migrant workers' experiences of homecoming after years of work abroad, separated from their loved ones. |
