The Non-ordinary Residents
Migrant domestic workers, most of whom are women, have long been subjected to overwork, underpayment and modern slavery. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when governments all over the world urged the public to stay at home, it means something different to those domestic workers who are required to live with their employers, as their so-called “homes” in a foreign society are actually their workplace. This book invites us to hear the voices from domestic workers in Hong Kong. Apart from sharing their stories as migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong, they also shared their work experience in Singapore, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia and the UK, which indicates that their vulnerability is across borders...

Historia del cine chino
Siendo la industria del cine chino una de las más importantes en la actualidad, aún es una gran desconocida en nuestro país. Salvo nombres como Zhang Yimou o Jia Zhangke, poco se sabe de un cine que siempre ha colmado los sueños de sus espectadores, desde la glamurosa industria de Shanghai de los años 30 hasta el periodo de ocupación japonesa, desde la instauración de la República Popular en 1949 hasta la apertura de los años 80 pasando por el tormentoso periodo de la Revolución Cultural. Un cine que comprende géneros autóctonos como el de artes marciales (wuxia) y el de la Ópera de Beijing, y que compite desde siempre con las industrias extranjeras produciendo cintas bélicas y...
Orangutans
This book describes one of our closest relatives, the orangutan, and the only extant great ape in Asia. It is increasingly clear that orangutan populations show extensive variation in behavioural ecology, morphology, life history, and genes. Indeed, on the strength of the latest genetic and morphological evidence, it has been proposed that orangutans actually constitute two species which diverged more than a million years ago - one on the island of Sumatra the other on Borneo, with the latter comprising three subspecies. This book has two main aims. The first is to carefully compare data from every orangutan research site, examining the differences and similarities between orangutan species,...

Sonic Ruins of Modernity
Sonic Ruins of Modernity shows how social, cultural and cognitive phenomena interact in the making and distribution of folksongs beyond their time. Through Judeo-Spanish (or Ladino) folksongs, the author illustrates a methodology for the interplay of individual memories, artistic initiatives, political and media policies, which ultimately shape “tradition” for the past century. He fleshes out in a series of case studies how folksongs can be conceived, performed and circulated in the post-tradition era – constituting each song as a “sonic ruin,” as an imagined place. At the same time, the book overall provides a unique perspective on the history of the Judeo-Spanish folksong.
Dacorah - Schwertzeit
"Totgeglaubte kämpfen länger" Der hochdekorierte Kriegsherr Lord Terek, der Sturm von Morgenrot, findet sich nach einem blutigen Hinterhalt halbtot auf einem Schlachtfeld in der Wüste wieder. Ihm wird von unerwarteter Seite geholfen. Er gesundet und gerät wider Willen in eine gnadenlose Odyssee, in deren Verlauf er nicht nur sein eigenes Leben verteidigen muss, sondern auch das Schicksal des Kontinents. Terek stößt dabei auf die größte Verschwörung in der Geschichte Dacorahs, mit dem Ziel der Erweckung eines uralten Unheils aus eisiger Vorzeit: einem leibhaftigen Erzdämonen und keinem Geringeren als dem Nagogh höchstselbst. Für Terek eine Ungeheuerlichkeit, denn er muss erkennen, dass die Verschwörer keine Unbekannten sind und das Vorhaben längst außer Kontrolle ist ... "... wenn der Kampf um die eigene Existenz zum Kampf um die Welt wird."
