Free Download Terrell Carver, "Masculinities, Gender and International Relations"
English | ISBN: 1529212286 | 2022 | 218 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Gender is widely recognized as an important and useful lens for the study of International Relations. However, there are few books that specifically investigate masculinity/ies in relation to world politics. Taking a feminist-inspired understanding of gender as its starting point, the book: * explains that gender is both an asymmetrical binary and a hierarchy; * shows how masculinization works via 'nested hierarchies' of domination and subordination; * explores the imbrication of masculinities with the nation-state and great-power politics; * develops an understanding of the arms trade with commercial processes of militarization. Written in an accessible style, with suggestions for further reading, this book is an invaluable resource for students and teachers applying 'the gender lens' to global politics.

Free Download Andreja Hribernik, Janez Janša, "Marko Batista: Temporary Objects and Hybrid Ambients"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1312684739 | PDF | pages: 98 | 66.3 mb
Marko Batista is an artist working at the intersection of science and art. By creating hybrid technological, electromagnetic or chemical systems, he confronts the mystification of technology while also opening up new ways of thinking about technology. With his experimental systems, which bring together the abovementioned fields, he expands the sphere of human perception and the phenomenology of unstable audio-visual systems in space and time. This book brings together four different perspectives on Marko Batista's work. Jurij Krpan's text analyses Marko Batista's work chronologically and positions it in the Slovenian as well as the broader cultural space. Andreja Hribernik tackles the artist's work from the perspective of theoretical starting-points. This is taken up by Ida Hiršenfelder, who analyses Batista's work primarily in light of the development of contemporary technologies and DIY principles. Rounding out the book, Luka Zagoričnik's text describes the artist's works from the perspective of sound.

Free Download Olena Palko, "Making Ukraine: Negotiating, Contesting, and Drawing the Borders in the Twentieth Century"
English | ISBN: 0228011019 | 2022 | 408 pages | EPUB | 29 MB
Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine have brought scholarly and public attention to Ukraine's borders. Making Ukraine aims to investigate the various processes of negotiation, delineation, and contestation that have shaped the country's borders throughout the past century.Essays by contributors from various historical fields consider how, when, and under what conditions the borders that historically define the country were agreed upon. A diverse set of national and transnational contexts are explored, with a primary focus on the critical period between 1917 and 1954. Chapters are organized around three main themes: the interstate treaties that brought about the new international order in Eastern Europe in the aftermath of the world wars, the formation of the internal boundaries between Ukraine and other Soviet republics, and the delineation of Ukraine's borders with its western neighbours. Investigating the process of bordering Ukraine in the post-Soviet era, contributors also pay close attention to the competing visions of future relations between Ukraine and Russia.Through its broad geographic and thematic coverage, Making Ukraine illustrates that the dynamics of contemporary border formation cannot be fully understood through the lens of a sole state, frontier, or ideology and sheds light on the shared history of territory and state formation in Europe and the wider modern world.
