Mapping Middle-earth

Mapping Middle-earth

Anahit Behrooz

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2024
nidottu
In this cutting-edge study of Tolkien’s most critically neglected maps, Anahit Behrooz examines how cartography has traditionally been bound up in facilitating power. Far more than just illustrations to aid understanding of the story, Tolkien’s corpus of maps are crucial to understanding the broader narratives between humans and their political and environmental landscapes within his legendarium. Undertaking a diegetic literary analysis of the maps as examples of Middle-earth’s own cultural output, Behrooz reveals a sub-created tradition of cartography that articulates specific power dynamics between mapmaker, map reader, and what is being mapped, as well as the human/nonhuman binary that represents human’s control over the natural world.Mapping Middle-earth surveys how Tolkien frames cartography as an inherently political act that embodies a desire for control of that which it maps. In turn, it analyses harmful contemporary engagements with land that intersect with, but also move beyond, cartography such as environmental damage; human-induced geological change; and the natural and bodily costs of political violence and imperialism. Using historical, eco-critical, and postcolonial frameworks, and such theorists as Michel Foucault, Donna Haraway and Edward Said, this book explores Tolkien’s employment of particular generic tropes including medievalism, fantasy, and the interplay between image and text to highlight, and at times correct, his contemporary socio-political epoch and its destructive relationship with the wider world.

BFFs examines female friendship as a site of radical intimacy, as told through the cultural touchstones around us. From Elena Ferrante to Booksmart, Little Women to Insecure, and beyond, the book considers how female friendships can offer a more expansive and emancipatory understanding of female intimacy.
Bffs: The Radical Potential of Female Friendship
BFFs shows us that friendships can be the most important, loving, expansive, and emancipatory relationships in our lives--all with the help of our favorite TV, movie, and book besties.Friendship can be the foundation of our earliest memories and the source of our most formative moments. So why is it often seen as secondary to romantic or familial connection, something we age out of and sacrifice to other relationships? In BFFs, Anahit Behrooz considers female friendship not as something lesser, but as a site of radical intimacy.From the joys of shared coming-of-age stories and sisterhood, through the pain of break-ups and parting of ways, the vast significance and intensity of feeling within our friendships is explored through depictions in the work of Toni Morrison and Elena Ferrante, Booksmart and Grey's Anatomy, Insecure, The Virgin Suicides and beyond.
Klub ljubitelej knig i pirogov iz kartofelnykh ochistkov
V poslevoennom Londone molodaja pisatelnitsa Dzhuliet pytaetsja najti sjuzhet dlja novoj knigi, no ob uzhasakh vojny pisat ej reshitelno ne khochetsja, a prochie temy kazhutsja libo skuchnymi, libo neumestnymi. Na pomosch prikhodit sluchaj - v vide pisma odnogo svinovoda s ostrova Gernsi. Okazyvaetsja, dazhe svinari ljubjat pochitat, i nevedomyj Dousi, k kotoromu v ruki popala kniga, nekogda prinadlezhavshaja Dzhuliet, prosit posovetovat emu khoroshuju knizhnuju lavku. Na Gernsi s knigami sejchas tugo, poskolku ostrov vse gody vojny byl okkupirovan nemtsami. Tak nachinaetsja perepiska, a tochnee, roman v pismakh mezhdu Dzhuliet i ostrovitjanami. Istorija knizhnogo kluba, stavshego prikrytiem dlja zapreschennykh vstrech zhitelej derevni, uvlekaet i zatjagivaet ee. Istorija, nachinavshajasja kak sjuzhet dlja novoj knigi, skoro prevratitsja v ee sobstvennuju istoriju... Etot grustnyj i veselyj roman - o voennom vremeni, no on polon solntsa, sveta i radosti. No kto skazal, chto smert i uzhas dolzhny byt vsegda na pervom meste? Inogda dazhe oni otstupajut pered chuvstvom jumora i optimizmom. V romane est zamechatelnaja fraza, kotoraja v polnoj mere otnositsja k nemu samomu: "Khoroshie knigi nachisto otbivaet okhotu k plokhim". "Klub ljubitelej knig i pirogov iz kartofelnykh ochistkov" - ne prosto khoroshaja kniga, vozmozhno, eto luchshee, chto vy prochtete za dolgoe-dolgoe vremja. Pressa o knige Eta kniga vovse ne velikaja literatura, no ona prosto sozdana dlja chtenija vecherom u kamina ili vo vremja dolgogo puteshestvija. Ochen redkie knigi stanovjatsja vernymi druzjami na vsju zhizn. Eta kak raz iz takikh. The Guardian Dazhe ne vspomnju, kogda mne v poslednij raz popadalsja stol zhe moschnaja i voskhititelnaja kniga kak eta. Ja dazhe zabyla, chto chitaju roman, nastolko pogruzilas v nego, ego geroi v bukvalnom smysle stali moimi druzjami, ja doverjala im svoi mysli, sovetovalas s nimi, ja srodnilas s nimi. I nikakaja dazhe samaja khvalebnaja retsenzija ne peredast vsju silu i porazitelnost etogo romana v pismakh.

Islam and Dissent in Postrevolutionary Iran

Islam and Dissent in Postrevolutionary Iran

Ghamari-Tabrizi Behrooz

I.B. Tauris
2008
nidottu
The Iranian revolution of 1979 overhauled not only the foundations of Iranian society, religion and politics, but also our understanding of the role of religion in modern government. Here Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi takes us on an enlightening journey, showing that the revolution unintentionally opened up the public sphere to competing interpretations of Islam. Far from being the exclusive preserve of high-ranking seminarians as before, in contemporary Iran lay theologians, intellectuals, lawyers and social activists are active and influential interlocutors in debates on the meaning of Islam.A key figure is philosopher Abdolkarim Soroush, a leading force behind Iran's pro-democracy movement and vocal critic of the state. Through a close reading of Soroush's writings, and by tracing the links between Muslim intellectual critique and the realpolitik of postrevolutionary power struggles, Ghamari-Tabrizi offers nothing less than a pathbreaking reassessment of the Iranian revolution. With powerful insights, 'Islam and Dissent' is essential for an understanding of the Muslim world today, as of the new relationships between religion, politics and democracy visible across the globe.Islam and politics a very important topic, especially re. Iran. Soroush is a key figure in Iran, and in Middle East generally. This title is recommended by star academics in the field of Islam and politics.
Vehicle Powertrain Systems

Vehicle Powertrain Systems

David Crolla; Behrooz Mashadi

John Wiley Sons Inc
2012
sidottu
The powertrain is at the heart of vehicle design; the engine – whether it is a conventional, hybrid or electric design – provides the motive power, which is then managed and controlled through the transmission and final drive components. The overall powertrain system therefore defines the dynamic performance and character of the vehicle. The design of the powertrain has conventionally been tackled by analyzing each of the subsystems individually and the individual components, for example, engine, transmission and driveline have received considerable attention in textbooks over the past decades. The key theme of this book is to take a systems approach – to look at the integration of the components so that the whole powertrain system meets the demands of overall energy efficiency and good drivability. Vehicle Powertrain Systems provides a thorough description and analysis of all the powertrain components and then treats them together so that the overall performance of the vehicle can be understood and calculated. The text is well supported by practical problems and worked examples. Extensive use is made of the MATLAB(R) software and many example programmes for vehicle calculations are provided in the text. Key features: Structured approach to explaining the fundamentals of powertrain engineering Integration of powertrain components into overall vehicle design Emphasis on practical vehicle design issues Extensive use of practical problems and worked examples Provision of MATLAB(R) programmes for the reader to use in vehicle performance calculations This comprehensive and integrated analysis of vehicle powertrain engineering provides an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate automotive engineering students and is a useful reference for practicing engineers in the vehicle industry

A novel optimization model for Most Probable Point (MPP) search in the original space for interval-based random variables is introduced, offering a cutting-edge approach to uncertainty optimization. The book concludes with second-order reliability analysis methods and forward-looking discussions on emerging analytical perspectives in the field.
Kurdish Paradox of Statelessness

Kurdish Paradox of Statelessness

Kamal Soleimani; Behrooz Shojai

Springer International Publishing AG

sidottu
This book critically examines Abdullah Öcalan’s proposal of "democratic confederalism," introduced in 2005, and its theoretical and practical implications. Despite its claims to transcend the nation-state model, Öcalan’s project leaves the colonial structures of the Turkish, Persian, and Arab states unchallenged, legitimizing their assimilatory and genocidal tendencies. It fails to secure Kurdish self-determination or protect linguistic and cultural rights, including mother-tongue education. The study interrogates these contradictions, offering a comprehensive critique of Öcalan’s ideology and its limited impact on governance, Kurdish identity, and aspirations for autonomy. Drawing on Öcalan’s original Turkish writings, the book challenges prevailing scholarship that often relies on selective translations and sympathetic interpretations. It reveals the foundational limitations of Öcalan’s approach, exposing the structural barriers it sustains and its complicity in perpetuating Turkification tendencies under the guise of Kurdish politics.
