[audiobook] The Battle of Versailles: The Night American Fashion Stumbled into the Spotlight and Made History by Robin Givhan at Arts-Photography

Description

Die aktuellen Interventionen westlicher Mauml;chte in Drittweltlauml;ndern haben vieles gemeinsam mit den unzauml;hligen Gewaltkonflikten an der Peripherie seit der Eroberung Amerikas im 16. Jahrhundert. Wie ihre Vorgauml;nger sind die modernen Imperialkriege vor allem von den Gegebenheiten des Raums und der ausgeprauml;gten Asymmetrie von Militauml;rorganisation; Ressourcen; Kriegfuuml;hrungsstilen und Gewaltkulturen der Konfliktparteien geprauml;gt.Sie sind im Kern lokale Buuml;rgerkriege; in denen die westlichen Mauml;chte nur ein dominanter Machtfaktor unter vielen sind. Sie haben keine klaren Fronten; keinen Anfang und kein Ende. Regeln zur Gewalteinhegung spielen nur eine geringe Rolle. Die westliche Militauml;rmaschinerie erweist sich auch heute noch als unfauml;hig; einen politischen Konflikt militauml;risch zu entscheiden; einen Gegner zur Schlacht zu stellen; der keinen Grund hat; sie anzunehmen; und sich auf Guerillakrieg und Terrorismus verlauml;sst. Den Preis zahlt letztlich; fruuml;her wie heute; die Bevouml;lkerung vor Ort.Dierk Walter unternimmt erstmals den Versuch; die Logik der Gewaltkonflikte im Rahmen der europauml;ischen Expansion schluuml;ssig zu erklauml;ren. Er untersucht Konfliktmuster; die Bedingungen der Gewaltentgrenzung und die Dynamik des Zusammenstoszlig;es gegensauml;tzlicher Gewaltkulturen. Dabei werden Parallelen zwischen verschiedenen Imperien und Kontinuitauml;ten uuml;ber die Epochengrenzen hinweg deutlich; die eines ganz klarmachen: Die juuml;ngsten Militauml;reinsauml;tze westlicher Streitkrauml;fte in Drittweltlauml;ndern wie Afghanistan; Irak oder Mali sind keine "neuen Kriege". Vielmehr stehen sie in einer 500‑jauml;hrigen Tradition transkultureller Gewaltkonflikte unter den spezifischen Bedingungen der "kolonialen Situation".

Indeed!By Melinda BuckwalterReader Book Reviews: Composing While Dancing: An Improvisers CompanionHeres a video about the book: [...]"Ah. Can one dance without composing?Just to say I read your romp through the jungle of improvisation and really admire of bookness of it. How you composed while writing... It is a companionable book; returning as it does to reopen topics; murmur personal asides; make friendly suggestions. If it could make tea; or laugh out loud; the companionship could blossom into friendship quickly.I felt treated with care while reading it. I very liked the amazing index and the way the glossary was handled. I havent read the notes yet; but no doubt will keep it near for browsing and reference so eventually will drink in every word and space you composed.Well done."-Steve Paxton; featured artist"I just got the book in the mail and have been reading it non-stop.... I cant wait to try some of things out in my own dancing and with my students. What a huge undertaking and it came out just beautifully; I am so excited to delve in!"-Joanna Rotkin; dance faculty; University of Colorado; Boulder"I have your book! I have started reading it! I am so thrilled for you and also happy for me that I have a provocative and trustworthy text to read that aligns with my own experiences thinking while moving (which happens alot)."-Megan Nicely; dance faculty; University of San Francisco"I am thick in your book. I wake up excited to read it. I often find that all I want to do is get some info and inspiration from it and then go into the world and dance with some new perspective in mind and let my body do the "walking" and talking and then go back home and read it some more over a cup of tea."-Caitlin Hellerer; dancer"Got my copy ~ so impressive! Im in awe of what youve done ~ built a constellation of improvisers and Im proud to be included. What catches me is that independent of one another we often arrive at similar places ~ almost like some natural evolutionary process."-Barbara Dilley; featured artist0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
