Conversations with Tom Robbins - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Conversations with Tom Robbins - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Since the publication of Another Roadside Attraction in 1971, Tom Robbins (b. 1932) has become known as the principal voice of American countercultural fiction. His cult celebrity was further solidified by the success of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1976) and Still Life with Woodpecker (1980). Robbins''s mix of vivid language, ribald humor, philosophical musings, controversial commentary on religion and sexuality, and concentration on female protagonists and feminine consciousness has marked almost all of his fiction, as well as his short writings. Despite his undeserved reputation as 1960s hippie icon, all of Robbins''s work remains popular and in print, and his later novels--including Jitterbug Perfume (1984), Skinny Legs and All (1990), Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas (1994), Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates (2000), Villa Incognito (2003), and B Is for Beer (2009)--engage thoroughly with current politics, mores, and trends. Conversations with Tom Robbins brings together more than twenty interviews with the acclaimed author, from the mid-1970s to the present. Throughout the volume, Robbins discusses his working methods, his fusion of Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, the need for wit and humor in serious fiction, and the ways living in the Pacific Northwest have fueled his work.

Earth, Air, Fire, and Water - Mary Susannah Robbins - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Earth, Air, Fire, and Water - Mary Susannah Robbins - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This memoir chronicles the life of Mary Susannah Robbins—poet, activist, and devoted daughter of famous mathematician Herbert E. Robbins. Her antiwar activism, beginning with her experiences during the Vietnam War and continuing into the present with the Iraq War, has given her a perspective from which to tell a unique story of American life. Her childhood having been spent surrounded by such luminaries of the twentieth century as Albert Einstein, Aldous Huxley, and Alan Lomax, Robbins writes of the early influence that her parents and their colleagues had on her later call to activism in the 1960s. She discusses the relationships that guided her to become involved with various antiwar movements. Her personal reflections within this book form a powerful tribute to the many lives that have touched and been touched by her.

Landscapes of Promise - William G. Robbins - Bog - University of Washington Press - Plusbog.dk

Landscapes of Promise - William G. Robbins - Bog - University of Washington Press - Plusbog.dk

Landscapes of Promise is the first comprehensive environmental history of the early years of a state that has long been associated with environmental protection. Covering the period from early human habitation to the end of World War II, William Robbins shows that the reality of Oregon's environmental history involves far more than a discussion of timber cutting and land-use planning. Robbins demonstrates that ecological change is not only a creation of modern industrial society. Native Americans altered their environment in a number of ways, including the planned annual burning of grasslands and light-burning of understory forest debris. Early Euro-American settlers who thought they were taming a virgin wilderness were merely imposing a new set of alterations on an already modified landscape. Beginning with the first 18th-century traders on the Pacific Coast, alterations to Oregon's landscape were closely linked to the interests of global market forces. Robbins uses period speeches and publications to document the increasing commodification of the landscape and its products. "Environment melts before the man who is in earnest," wrote one Oregon booster in 1905, reflecting prevailing ways of thinking. In an impressive synthesis of primary sources and historical analysis, Robbins traces the transformation of the Oregon landscape and the evolution of our attitudes toward the natural world.

Radical Democracy and Political Theology - Jeffrey Robbins - Bog - Columbia University Press - Plusbog.dk

Radical Democracy and Political Theology - Jeffrey Robbins - Bog - Columbia University Press - Plusbog.dk

Alexis de Tocqueville once wrote that "the people reign over the American political world like God over the universe," unwittingly casting democracy as the political instantiation of the death of God. According to Jeffrey W. Robbins, Tocqueville's assessment remains an apt observation of modern democratic power, which does not rest with a sovereign authority but operates as a diffuse social force. By linking radical democratic theory to a contemporary fascination with political theology, Robbins envisions the modern experience of democracy as a social, cultural, and political force transforming the nature of sovereign power and political authority. Robbins joins his work with Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's radical conception of "network power," as well as Sheldon Wolin's notion of "fugitive democracy," to fashion a political theology that captures modern democracy's social and cultural torment. This approach has profound implications not only for the nature of contemporary religious belief and practice but also for the reconceptualization of the proper relationship between religion and politics. Challenging the modern, liberal, and secular assumption of a neutral public space, Robbins conceives of a postsecular politics for contemporary society that inextricably links religion to the political. While effectively recasting the tradition of radical theology as a political theology, this book also develops a comprehensive critique of the political theology bequeathed by Carl Schmitt. It marks an original and visionary achievement by the scholar the Journal of the American Academy of Religion hailed "one of the best commentators on religion and postmodernism."

Oregon - William G. Robbins - Bog - University of Washington Press - Plusbog.dk

Oregon - William G. Robbins - Bog - University of Washington Press - Plusbog.dk

Oregon's landscape boasts brilliant waterfalls, towering volcanoes, productive river valleys, and far-reaching high deserts. People have lived in the region for at least twelve thousand years, during which they established communities; named places; harvested fish, timber, and agricultural products; and made laws and choices that both protected and threatened the land and its inhabitants. William G. Robbins traces the state's history of commodification and conservation, despair and hope, progress and tradition. This revised and updated edition features a new introduction and epilogue with discussion of climate change, racial disparity, immigration, and discrimination. Revealing Oregon's rich social, economic, cultural, and ecological complexities, Robbins upholds the historian's commitment to critical inquiry, approaching the state's past with both open-mindedness and a healthy dose of skepticism about the claims of Oregon's boosters.

Global Royal Families - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Global Royal Families - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Monarchy as a form of government involves more than an individual sovereign, and encompasses consorts, heirs and other relatives. Since royals, especially in Europe, traditionally married other royals, there existed many familial ties across borders, reinforced by letters, gifts and regular visits. Royal families formed a ''club'' connected further by shared status, privileges and influence. Increasingly from the nineteenth century, royal families became more global, aided by new technologies of transportation and communication. British and other European royals visited the colonies of their countries and distant independent states, and royals from Asia, Africa and elsewhere journeyed to Europe. Cross-cultural exchanges among royal families changed court cultures and had an impact on a wider public. The chapters in Global Royal Families present new perspectives on the global connections of monarchies from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s, examining cases of royal families from Britain, the German states, Spain, the Austro-Hungarian empire and Russia, as well as Japan, India, the Malay states, South Africa and the Pacific islands. It argues that these connections, and the regional and international encounters between royal families, played a significant but hitherto little appreciated role in cultural, social and political life.

Shakespeare and the Royal Actor - Sally Barnden - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare and the Royal Actor - Sally Barnden - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare and the Royal Actor argues that members of the royal family have identified with Shakespearean figures at various times in modern history to assert the continuity, legitimacy, and national identity of the royal line. It provides an account of the relationship between the Shakespearean afterlife and the royal family through the lens of a broadly conceived theatre history suggesting that these two hegemonic institutions had a mutually sustaining relationship from the accession of George III in 1760 to that of Elizabeth II in 1952. Identifications with Shakespearean figures have been deployed to assert the Englishness of a dynasty with strong familial links to Germany and to cultivate a sense of continuity from the more autocratic Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart monarchs informing Shakespeare''s drama to the increasingly ceremonial monarchs of the modern period. The book is driven by new archival research in the Royal Collection and Royal Archives. It reads these archives critically, asking how different forms of royal and Shakespearean performance are remembered in the material holdings of royal institutions.

Royal Voices - Mel (university Of Leicester) Evans - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Royal Voices - Mel (university Of Leicester) Evans - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Tudors are one of the best known royal families in English history. Over three generations, they constructed and maintained their status and authority during a period of social, political and religious unrest. This book examines the textual basis of Tudor royal power. Through analyses of correspondence alongside genres including proclamations and historical chronicles, the book explores the visual and verbal practices that came to symbolise monarchic authority in the Tudor era. Mel Evans combines concepts from sociolinguistics and pragmatics with corpus linguistic methods to explore the characteristics of authentic English language Tudor texts, alongside materials reporting and appropriating royal language. The book reveals a pervasive sixteenth-century royal voice - one which is central to the articulation and perpetuation of Tudor monarchic power.

Shakespearean Objects in the Royal Collection, 1714–1939 - Kirsten Tambling - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shakespearean Objects in the Royal Collection, 1714–1939 - Kirsten Tambling - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The British royal collection includes nearly 2,000 objects with a connection to Shakespeare. What stories do these objects tell of the relationship between the man often described as Britain''s ''national poet'' and Britain''s royal family? Royal collecting of Shakespeare did not really begin until 1714, and has therefore broadly tracked the development, and entrenchment, of the Hanoverian—and latterly the Saxe-Coburg Gotha—royal family. Not entirely coincidentally, this period also saw a general increase in public interest in objects associated with Shakespeare''s life and biography, often to the detriment of Shakespeare''s works—a development partially spearheaded by the ''Shakespeare Jubilee'' masterminded by the actor David Garrick at Stratford-upon-Avon in 1769. The histories of specific works of art in the royal collection, from Thomas Gainsborough''s painting of Mary Robinson to a collection of relic objects relating to ''Herne''s Oak'' and Shakespeare''s mulberry tree, reveal how royal engagement with Shakespearean objects between 1714 and 1939 contributed to the development of a new constitutional settlement between the monarchy and its subjects under George IV, Queen Victoria, and George V and Queen Mary. During this period, objects relating to Shakespeare—increasingly regarded (by the royal family) as nostalgic souvenirs from a fantastical national past—were useful tools in shoring up these ideas, and in yoking the fortunes of the British monarchy to a new vision of shared national history.

The Cambridge Introduction to Harriet Beecher Stowe - Sarah Robbins - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Cambridge Introduction to Harriet Beecher Stowe - Sarah Robbins - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Through the publication of her bestseller Uncle Tom''s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe became one of the most internationally famous and important authors in nineteenth-century America. Today, her reputation is more complex, and Uncle Tom''s Cabin has been debated and analysed in many different ways. This book provides a summary of Stowe''s life and her long career as a professional author, as well as an overview of her writings in several different genres. Synthesizing scholarship from a range of perspectives, the book positions Stowe''s work within the larger framework of nineteenth-century culture and attitudes about race, slavery and the role of women in society. Sarah Robbins also offers reading suggestions for further study. This introduction provides students of Stowe with a richly informed and accessible introduction to this fascinating author.
