    **Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2024**A story of staggering scope and drama, Revolusi is the masterful and definitive account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonisation of the modern world.'Astounding . . . history at its best' Yuval Noah Harari'Utterly compelling . . . masterful' Financial Times'Superb' GuardianOn a sunny Friday morning in August 1945, a handful of tired people raised a homemade cotton flag and on behalf of 68 million compatriots announced the birth of a new nation: Indonesia.Four million civilians had died during the Japanese wartime occupation that ousted its Dutch colonial regime. Another 200,000 people would lose their lives in the astonishingly brutal conflict that ensued - as the Dutch used savage violence to reassert their control, and as Britain and America became embroiled in pacifying Indonesia's guerrilla war of resistance: the 'Revolusi'. It was not until December 1949 that the newly created United Nations finally brought the conflict an end - and with it, 350 years of colonial rule - setting a precedent that would reshape the world.Drawing on hundreds of interviews and eye-witness testimonies, David Van Reybrouck turns this vast and complex story into an utterly gripping narrative that is alive with human detail at every turn. A landmark publication, Revolusi shows Indonesia's struggle for independence to be one of the defining dramas of the twentieth century.'A magnificent fusion of oral history, sparkling analysis, and historical wisdom. Revolusi has it all: a masterpiece' Sebastain Mallaby'A magisterial and gripping account of events of urgent importance to us now' Jason Burke'A wonderful book' Peter Frankopan'Masterly' J M Coetzee**Shortlisted for the Cundill Prize**

  • - i europæisk litteratur gennem det 19. århundrede (bd. 1-2)
    af Marie-Louise Svane
    497,95 kr.

    Den franske revolution, Napoleon i Ægypten, Tusind og én nat, rejseberetninger fra Konstantinopel, Kairo, Palæstina og Algeriet er forskellige spor i europæisk kultur fra starten af det 19. århundrede. Interessen for Orienten var forbundet med kolonial stormagtspolitik på de asiatiske og afrikanske kontinenter, men også med entusiastisk udforskning af østlig kultur og oversættelser af persiske, tyrkiske, indiske og arabiske klassiske tekster til europæiske sprog. J.W. Goethe drømmer sig tilbage til barmakidernes storhedstid i Bagdad, Lord Byron fortæller dramatiske haremshistorier med noter om egne oplevelser i Tyrkiet, H.C. Andersen er fortryllet i Konstantinopel, Alexandre Dumas omgiver sin helt, Greven af Monte-Cristo, med et spind af gåder, der har at gøre med grevens skjulte fortid i Orienten. Orienten som horisont favner det 19. århundredes europæiske orientinteresse i bredden og viser, hvordan fascinationen af den orientalske verden går hånd i hånd med aktuelle spørgsmål og anliggender i den europæiske kontekst. I bogens kapitler behandles berømte og mindre kendte engelske, franske, tyske og nordiske forfatteres orient-fortællinger og bidrag til en stadig aktuel diskussion om Europas selvforståelse i forhold til nabokulturerne i Øst.

    This book critically examines how a Hero is made, sustained, and even deformed, in contemporary cultures. It brings together diverse ideas from philosophy, mythology, religion, literature, cinema, and social media to explore how heroes are constructed across genres, mediums, and traditions.The essays in this volume present fresh perspectives for readers to conceptualize the myriad possibilities the term 'Hero' brings with itself. They examine the making and unmaking of the heroes across literary, visual and social cultures -in religious spaces and in classical texts; in folk tales and fairy tales; in literature, as seen in Heinrich Böll's Und Sagte Kein Einziges Wort, Thomas Brüssig's Heroes like Us, and in movies, like Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and in the short film like Dean Potter's When Dogs Fly. The volume also features nuanced takes on intersectional feminist representations in hero movies; masculinity in sports biopics; taking everyday heroes from the real to the reel, among others key themes.A stimulating work that explores the mechanisms that 'manufacture' heroes, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of English literature, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, film studies, media studies, literary and critical theory, arts and aesthetics, political sociology and political philosophy.

    This book offers an exploration of the postcolonial hybrid experience in anglophone Caribbean plays and performance from a feminist perspective.In a hitherto unattempted consideration of Caribbean theatre and performance, this study of gendered identities chronicles the postcolonial hybrid experience - and how it varies in the context of questions of sex, performance and social designation. In the process, it examines the diverse performances of the anglophone Caribbean. The work includes works by Caribbean anglophone playwrights like Derek Walcott, Mustapha Matura, Michael Gikes, Dennis Scott, Trevor Rhone, Earl Lovelace and Errol John with more recent works of Pat Cumper, Rawle Gibbons and Tony Hall. The study would also engage with Carnival, calypso and chutney music, while commenting on its evolving influences over the hybrid imagination.Each section covers the dominant socio-political thematics associated with the tradition and its effect on it, followed by an analysis of contemporaneously significant literary and cultural works - plays, carnival narrative and calypso and chutney lyrics as well as the experiences of performers. From Lovelace's fictional Jestina to the real-life Drupatee, the book critically explores the marginalization of female performances while forming a hybrid identity.

    The first volume devoted to Derek Walcott's lifelong engagement with the visual arts Walcott's lifelong concern with painting and painters deeply inflected his aesthetics and politics. Walcott's interventions on the relationship between Caribbean and colonial history have been thoroughly scrutinised, but arguably he was also keen to address and (re)write an art history of which, paraphrasing a line from Omeros, the Caribbean 'too' was/is 'capable'. Contextualising and putting in conversation Walcott's published and unpublished writing, drawings and paintings with specific artists from the Caribbean, Europe, South and North America, Derek Walcott's Painters recalibrates and sharpens our understanding of Walcott's articulation of his own politics and poetics, and of the Caribbean's contributions to Atlantic and global culture. Maria Cristina Fumagalli is Professor in Literature at the University of Essex. Her publications include On the Edge: Writing the Border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic (2015; 2018), Caribbean Perspectives on Modernity: Returning Medusa's Gaze (2009) and The Flight of the Vernacular: Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott and the Impress of Dante (2001).

    This book synthesizes ecofeminist theory, American studies, and postcolonial theory to interrogate what New Americanist William V. Spanos articulates as the "errand into the wilderness": the ethic of Puritanical expansionism at the heart of the U.S. empire that moved westward under Manifest Destiny to colonize Native Americans, non-whites, women, and the land.The project explores how the legacy of the errand has been articulated by women writers, from the slave narrative to contemporary fiction. Uniting texts across geographical and temporal boundaries, the book constructs a theoretical approach for reading and understanding how women authors craft counter-narratives at the intersection of metaphorical and literal landscapes of colonization. It focuses on literature from the United States and the Caribbean, including the slave narratives by Sojourner Truth, Harriet E. Wilson, and Harriet Jacobs, and contemporary work by Toni Morrison, Maryse Condé, Edwidge Danticat, and Native American writer Linda Hogan. It charts the contrast between America's earliest idyllic visions and the subsequent reality: an era of unprecedented violence against women of color and the environment.This study of many canonical writers presents an important and illuminating analysis of American mythologies that continue to impact the cultural landscape today. It will be a significant discussion text for students, scholars, and researchers in environmental humanities, ecofeminism, and postcolonial studies.
