Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : United States History 1945 Social conditions Politics and government 1945-1989. Résumé : Beginning with an analysis of cultural themes and ending with a discussion of evolving and expanding political and corporate institutions, The Columbia History of Post-World War II America addresses changes in America's response to the outside world; the merging of psychological states and social patterns in memorial culture, scandal culture, and consumer culture; the intersection of social practices and governmental policies; the effect of technological change on society and politics; and the intersection of changing belief systems and technological development, among other issues.
Many had feared that Orwellian institutions would crush the individual in the postwar era, but a major theme of this book is the persistence of individuality and diversity. Trends toward institutional bigness and standardization have coexisted with and sometimes have given rise to a countervailing pattern of individualized expression and consumption. Today Americans are exposed to more kinds of images and music, choose from an infinite variety of products, and have a wide range of options in terms of social and sexual arrangements. In short, they enjoy more ways to express their individuality despite the ascendancy of immense global corporations, and this volume imaginatively explores every facet of this unique American experience.The Columbia history of post-World War II America [texte imprimé] / Mark C.

Titre : Visions of the Ottoman world in renaissance Europe Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrei Pippidi, Auteur Editeur : New York : Columbia University Press Année de publication : 2013 Importance : (IX-283 p.) Présentation : jaquette ill. en coul Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84904-199-7 Note générale : Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intellectual life Europe Renaissance Civilization Ottoman influence Ottoman Empire Public opinion History. Résumé : How the great minds of the West formed an image of the Ottoman Empire and of Eastern Europe in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries, and the intellectual foundations of this construction, are the principal themes of Pippidi s pathbreaking book. Key protagonists in these debates included Erasmus, Luther and Machiavelli. Today we might call them intellectuals, yet mostly they did not travel, and direct contact with the Ottoman Empire was scarce or nonexistent. Nor were they well disposed to its predecessor, the Byzantine Empire, whose fall presented them with an intellectual conundrum: how were they to explain the irresistible advance of the Ottomans across the Balkans and the inability of Christian Europe to hold the line? They also felt compelled to incorporate this significant new threat into their vision of a world order, to rationalise it, to unravel its origins. These discussions spawned a common market of ideas in the fifteenth and sixteenth century, as Europeans debated and represented the Ottoman threat. Readers of this book will find many echoes in Pippidi s analysis of today s debates about the relationship of Turkey with Europe and the struggle to accommodate the descendants of the Ottomans in our midst.
