English | ISBN: 1803274735 | 2023 | 96 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Gandharan Art in its Buddhist Context is the fifth set of papers from the workshops of the Classical Art Research Centre’s Gandhara Connections project. These selected studies revolve around perhaps the most fundamental topic of all for understanding Gandharan art: its religious contexts and meanings within ancient Buddhism. Addressing the responses of patrons and worshippers at the monasteries and shrines of Gandhara, these papers seek to understand more about why Gandharan art was made and what its iconographical repertoire meant to ancient viewers. The contributions from an array of international experts consider dedicatory practices in monasteries, the representation of Buddhas, and the lessons to be learned from some of the latest excavations and survey work in the region.

Science, philosophy of science, and metaphysics have long been concerned with the question of how order, stability, and novelty are possible and how they happen. How can order come out of disorder?

English | 2024 | ISBN: 1108839134 | 496 Pages | PDF | 4.2 MB
For more than a decade, linguistics has moved increasingly away from evaluating language as an autonomous phenomenon, towards analysing it ‘in use’, and showing how its function within its social and interactional context plays an important role in shaping in its form. Bringing together state-of-the-art research from some of the most influential scholars in linguistics today, this Handbook presents an extensive picture of the study of language as it used ‘in context’ across a number of key linguistic subfields and frameworks. Organised into five thematic parts, the volume covers a range of theoretical perspectives, with each chapter surveying the latest work from areas as diverse as syntax, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, applied linguistics, conversational analysis, multimodality, and computer-mediated communication. Comprehensive, yet wide-ranging, the Handbook presents a full description of how the theory of context has revolutionised linguistics, and how its renewed study is crucial in an ever-changing world.

Free Download Religious Economies in Secular Context: Halal Markets, Practices and Landscapes
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031186028 | 316 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 14 MB
This edited collection is one of the few sociological and anthropological studies of Halal markets. The chapters inquire into the legal and religious aspects of Halal markets in non-Muslim contexts or the countries where the label ‘Halal’ matters, and is not taken for granted as it is the case in most of the Muslim world where it is an accepted norm. In many countries, ‘Halal’ has become a type of brand used to market food and cosmetic products. This is an effective marketing strategy because it appeals directly to Muslims, but also increasingly to non-Muslims who seek pure, fresh products. In this case ‘Halal’ implies attributes similar to other brands where quality and purity is guaranteed, such as Fair Trade, Bio or organic in the US and Europe, but with the additional appeal to prospective Muslim consumers that it satisfies Islamic norms.The book consists of contributions on Halal economies in non-Muslim societies dealing with such dilemmas as rational thinking and halal philosophy within various fields of halal economy such as regulation, production, marketing, service delivery and consumption.

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1108835589 | 311 Pages | PDF | 4 MB
Exploring the many dimensions of Giacomo Puccini’s historical legacy and significance, this book provides new perspectives on the life and work of a much-loved opera composer and demonstrates how political concerns shape the way we approach and perform his works in the present day. Accessibly written chapters by a range of international experts explore Puccini’s interests, attitudes, and relationships, and examine how his works reflected the cultural, political, and social zeitgeist of their time. The essays first map Puccini’s personal and professional networks, the regions and cities that meant so much to him, and his travels for both work and leisure. They go on to probe the composer’s attitudes towards contemporary developments in music, literature, film, and drama and investigate his collaboration with librettists, publishers, singers, and conductors. The book closes with chapters on Puccini’s compositional legacy, performance history, relationship with popular culture, and place in the international operatic canon.
