Les Figurines publicitaires

Autor: Jean-claude Piffret

Número de Páginas: 279

De tout temps, la figurine a été le jouet par excellence. C'est au fil des siècles, qu'elle est devenue un objet d'usage courant, accessible à tous. L'arrivée des nouveaux matériaux, comme le plastique, a permis de l'utiliser comme objet de promotion pour les produits de grande consommation. Plus de 3 500 figurines sont répertoriées dans cet ouvrage, et près de 500 photos permettent de les visualiser. Tous les sujets sont traités à travers quinze chapitres, de l'histoire militaire - ou des costumes - à la bande dessinée, en passant par le sport, le cirque, les métiers, le spectacle, l'épopée du Far-West, l'architecture, la locomotion et les animaux, ainsi que les contes et Walt Disney, auquel un chapitre entier est consacré. Ce livre, le premier en la matière, comble une lacune et devient la référence indispensable pour tous les collectionneurs.

Re-searching Transitions in Indian History

Autor: Radhika Seshan , Shraddha Kumbhojkar

Número de Páginas: 193

The idea of transitions in Indian history emerged early when the term ‘transition’ denoted shifts from one period to another. The notion of transition itself has moved beyond being primarily economic to include dimensions of society, culture and ideology. This volume brings together scholarly works that re-examine and re-define the concept of transition by looking into a range of subjects including religion, culture, gender, caste and community networks, maritime and mercantile modes, ideas of nationalism and historiographies across geographical and temporal settings. With contributions by leading scholars from South Asia, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of ancient history, modern Indian history, sociology and social anthropology, and South Asian studies.

Book Of Calories and Phytosterols In Foods

Autor: Mary Curtis

Número de Páginas: 370

This book will assist you in planning your daily meals to maximize your consumption of phytosterols. Phytosterols are natural plant-based substances that are in many foods. Adding foods containing phytosterols to your daily diet, in addition to the plan prescribed by your doctor, can help you to reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol by blocking the LDL cholesterol before it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. LDL cholesterol contributes to heart disease and blood vessel disorders. Another benefit of phytosterols is that they help protect levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol, even increasing it over time. Continuing to add foods containing phytosterols to your diet every day will build up protection while reducing harmful cholesterol levels.

Fort Cochin in Kerala, 1750-1830

Autor: Anjana Singh

Número de Páginas: 339

This study of the early modern fortress town of Cochin in India, based on the rarely used VOC archival deposits in the Tamilnadu State Archives in Chennai (Madras), provides an intimate portrait of a Dutch urban community of East India Company servants and their dependents living within the larger social environment of the Malabar coast. It shows how between 1750 and 1830 the population of this Dutch settlement had adapted itself to the fundamental political and economic changes that occurred as a result of local state formation processes, the demise of the Dutch East India Company, and the change of regime that occurred when English administration was imposed on Fort Cochin in 1795.

Andaman's Kalapani: A chronicle of Colonial Oppression & Resistance

Autor: Dr Akanksha Qayum

Número de Páginas: 255

This book is a heartfelt tribute to the layered history of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands—a place where paradise meets pain. It explores the unbreakable spirit of indigenous tribes, the horrors of Kalapani, and the sacrifices of India’s freedom fighters, including countless women whose voices were buried in silence. From the haunting walls of Cellular Jail to the Battle of Aberdeen and the assassination of Lord Mayo, the islands’ past is one of oppression, resistance, and resilience. It also honors unsung heroes from across India—Punjabis, Bengalis, Tamilians, Malayalis, and more—who stood united in exile. This is not just history retold; it is an emotional journey and a call to remember those who endured the unimaginable, so that future generations could inherit a free and united India.

South Asians in the Diaspora

Autor: Knut A. Jacobsen , Pratap Kumar

Número de Páginas: 556

This volume deals with a phenomenon of increasing global significance, the South Asian diaspora. In particular it deals with the role of religion. The diversity of religious life in South Asia is remarkable and much of this diversity is replicated in the diaspora communities around the world. The case studies in this book explore and analyse the social, religious and cultural reality of people in the diaspora belonging to Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism and originating from four of the South Asian nation states (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka). The book highlights the religious diversity that exists in the diaspora communities both across the traditions and within the particular religions.

Sexuality, Masculinities and Resistance in South India

Autor: K.p. Jayaraj

Número de Páginas: 188

Sexuality, Masculinities and Resistance in South India unravels the relations of domination, subordination, and resistance in the context of sexuality and masculinities in contemporary Malabar, South India. Exploring a taxonomy of masculinities, based on the lived experiences of gender and sexual non-conforming men, this book documents the hierarchical character of masculine articulations on the one hand, and forms of everyday resistance to hegemonic masculinity, on the other. It proposes a broad project of social transformation, inclusive of struggles by feminist groups, which should also engage with socially ‘non-conforming’ collectives to challenge the power of masculinities. Sexuality, Masculinities and Resistance in South India will be a valuable text for students and researchers in gender, sexuality, and queer studies, as well as for professionals and activists in these areas.
