Abstract:

This chapter first provides a general introduction to the historical figure of Guan Yu and the cult which grew around him, Lord Guan becoming one the most popular and influential deities of imperial China. It surveys the historiography of the cult, from its earliest beginnings in the form of hagiographical compilations to academic research in Japanese, Chinese, and Western languages. Chinese language research in particular even today is often still hagiographic in character. A critical discussion is provided of this scholarship and its analytical problems. The chapter concludes with a detailed discussion of the nature of the historical evidence on a cult such as that of Lord Guan.

Abstract:

Rescatar la memoria para construir identidad es uno de los objetivos de la serie “Clásicos” de la colección Cuadernos del ISCo. La publicación de La salud mental en China se inscribe dentro de ese propósito, al recuperar la figura de Gregorio Bermann, partícipe de la Reforma Universitaria de 1918; dinamizador del campo de la salud mental en América Latina en discusiones que atraviesan la psiquiatría, el psicoanálisis y la psicología; un intelectual ligado a ideas socialistas con acción política a nivel nacional e internacional; y uno de las dieciséis miembros titulares expertos en salud pública que conformaron el Comité Técnico Preparatorio de la Conferencia Internacional de Salud, de la cual surge en 1948 la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). La primera edición de este libro fue publicada en español por Jorge Álvarez, en 1970. Fue traducido al italiano y prologado por Franco Basaglia, uno de los principales referentes de la reforma psiquiátrica italiana, y publicado en 1972 en la prestigiosa editorial de Giulio Einaudi. También fue traducido al francés por Alain Barbaste y publicado en 1973, en el auge del maoísmo entre los intelectuales franceses, por la editorial de François Maspero que, al igual que Einaudi en Italia, fueron propagadoras del pensamiento de izquierda europeo. En Maspero, este libro de Bermann fue incluido en una colección junto a autores como Guattari y Castel. La edición alemana se publicó en 1973, traducida por Thomas Lorenzen y publicado por la editorial Europäische Verlagsanstalt. Esta nueva edición ha sido enriquecida con fotografías, cartas personales y documentos recuperadas del Archivo General de la Nación; del Archivo Gregorio Bermann, Centro de Estudios Avanzados, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba; del Centro de Conservación y Documentación y Audiovisual, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Colección Antonio Novello; y de la World Health Organization, Historical Collection.

Abstract:

Yan Xu’s book The Soldier Image and State-Building in Modern China, 1924–1945 focuses on the connection between soldiers, urban publics, and party governments of wartime China in an effort to provide a nuanced analysis of the complicated state-society relations. Xu structured this work in a way that united the chapters through the multiple soldier figures in China and the imagery cast upon them due to wars. Xu scrutinizes how political, social, and literary perspectives influenced the rhetoric and ideal of the soldier figure. Xu’s book works chronologically from the initial start-up of the prestigious Whampoa Military Academy in the 1920s, to the issue and revision of compulsory conscription laws in the 1930s, to the urban intellectuals and professionals serving and writing about the soldiers during the Second Sino-Japanese War, to the students conscripted into the army during the later years of the war. Xu integrates the party struggles into the analysis of wartime China by devoting the last chapter to the creation of the soldier image by the Chinese Communists. Xu highlights how crucial the construction of the discourse on the soldier image was to the state-building processes for both Chinese Nationalists and Communists. The Soldier Image and State-Building in Modern China, 1924–1945, fosters insight into the 1920s-40s of modern China that uncovers how war operates as a cultural event rather than simply one utilized for political strategy.

Abstract:

Stroke is the main cause of neurological morbidity in adults and the third most common cause of death worldwide after ischaemic heart disease and cancer (all forms combined). It is more common in older people, with three-quarters of strokes occurring in people over 65 years of age, and estimates are that overall stroke morbidity will double by the early 2020s. The worldwide figure of increasing incidence of stroke detection masks the fact that mortality from stroke has actually been falling in developed countries since the latter half of the twentieth century while the mortality has continued to rise in China, Asia, and eastern Europe. This chapter discusses prevention of cerebrovascular disease, and includes strategies to reduce the risk of thromboembolic stroke and cerebral haemorrhage.

Abstract:

This book looks beyond the life of Alexander the Great in order to examine the astonishing range of Alexanders created by generations of authors, historians, and artists throughout the world, from Scotland to China. Alexander's defeat of the Persian Empire in 331 BC captured the popular imagination, inspiring an endless series of stories and representations that emerged shortly after his death and continues today. The book reflects on the most interesting and emblematic depictions of this towering historical figure. Some of the stories relate to historical events associated with Alexander's military career and some to the fantasy that has been woven around him. From Alexander's biographers in ancient Greece to the illustrated Alexander “Romances” of the Middle Ages to operas, films, and even modern cartoons, this illustrated volume takes readers on a fascinating cultural journey.

Full text

Abstract:

Schooling Diaspora relates the previously untold story of female education and the overseas Chinese in British Malaya and Singapore, traversing more than a century of British imperialism, Chinese migration, and Southeast Asian nationalism. This book explores the pioneering English- and Chinese-language girls’ schools in which these women studied and worked, drawing from school records, missionary annals, colonial reports, periodicals, and oral interviews. The history of educated overseas Chinese girls and women reveals the surprising reach of transnational female affiliations and activities in an age and a community that most accounts have cast as male dominated. These women created and joined networks in schools, workplaces, associations, and politics. They influenced notions of labor and social relations in Asian and European societies. They were at the center of political debates over language and ethnicity and were vital actors in struggles over twentieth-century national belonging. Their education empowered them to defy certain sociocultural conventions in ways that school founders and political authorities did not anticipate. At the same time, they contended with an elite male discourse that perpetuated patriarchal views of gender, culture, and nation. Even as their schooling propelled them into a cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic public space, Chinese girls and women in diaspora often had to take sides as Malayan and Singaporean society became polarized—sometimes falsely—into mutually exclusive groups of British loyalists, pro-China nationalists, and Southeast Asian citizens. They negotiated these constraints to build unique identities, ultimately contributing to the development of a new figure: the educated transnational Chinese woman.

Abstract:

This book sets out to answer a question of global importance: how does inequality persist in our increasingly mobile world? It is a contentious problem. From Barack Obama to Pope Francis, inequality is often referred to as the greatest threat to our democracy, society and economy. Yet in an era some call the ‘age of migration’, opportunity has apparently never been more accessible. Long and short distance transport—from motorbikes to aeroplanes—are available to more people than ever before. What’s more, physical mobility tells only part of the story. Telecommunications have transformed our lives, ushering in an era of translocality, in which the behaviour of people and communities are influenced from hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. Nevertheless, amidst ever more complex flows of people, ideas, and capital, persistent inequality cuts a jarringly static figure. The worst off all too often remain impervious to the winds of economic dynamism, whilst those who were better off in one place remain so in another. This is an age-old story enmeshed in modern complexities. The vast economic successes of India and China have redrawn the map of global poverty in recent decades, contributing to falling inequality between countries even as inequality within countries is on the rise. Scale, in other words, matters and this book sets out to show why. Eschewing the international cross-sectional analysis employed in others on the topic of inequality, in favour of a deep dive approach to its subject, its eight chapters bring together a decade of research across multiple contexts to cast a forensic eye over the many of faces of inequality in a rapidly changing environment. Tracing a “miraculous” decade of development in Cambodia, one of the world’s fastest growing economies since the turn of the millennium, it brings together a broad toolbox of data to make a case for inequality not as an economic phenomenon, but as a ‘total social fact’ in which stories, stigma, obligation, and assets combine to lock social structures in place.
