DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt the turn of the 20th Century, Japanese ‘villages' and their exotic occupants delighted and mystified visitors to the Great Exhibitions and Worlds' Fairs . At the beginning of the 21st Century, Japanese tourists have reversed the gaze and now may visit a range of European ‘countries', as well as several other cultural worlds, without ever leaving the shores of Japan. This book suggests that these and other exciting Asian theme parks pose a challenge to Western notions of leisure, education, and entertainment. Is this a case of reverse orientalism? Or is it simply a commercial follow-up on the success of Tokyo Disneyland? Is it an appropriation by one rich nation of a whole world of cultural delights from the countries that have influenced its twentieth-century success? Can the parks be seen as political statements about the heritage on which Japan now draws so freely? Or are they new forms of ethnographic museum? Examining Japanese parks in the context of a variety of historical examples of cultural display in Europe, the U.S. and Australia, as well as other Asian examples, the author calls into question the too easy adoption of postmodern theory as an ethnocentrically Western phenomenon and clearly shows that Japan has given theme parks an entirely new mode of interpretation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVon Kremer sC ulturgeaehichte des Orients will be welcome to all English-knowing lovers of Islamic history and culture. Von Kremer still stands unsurpassed. He has had no competitors; he alone occupies the field. His researches patient, laborious, thorough have illumined every aspect of Muslim life. He is the most trustworthy interpreter of the social, political, economic, literary, and legal problems of I slam. The volume before us opens with an account of the death of the Prophet, and the trouble that arose over the question of succession. Paction fought faction. Heavy banks of cloud loomed up menacingly on the political horizon of A rabia. The spirit of tribal faction theretofore checked and kept in restraint asserted itself; and, in its very infancy, I slam was threatened with division, disunion, ruin and disruption. Omar saw the danger, and felt the need of prompt and vigorous action. He did as a practical and sagacious statesman would do. He settled the question of succession at a stroke ;and with that the clouds rolled away, and the danger which had confronted I slam was at once averted. -- From https://www.amazon.co.uk (Sep. 21, 2016).
