Democratizing Luxury
Democratizing Luxury explores the interplay between advertising and consumption in modern Japan by investigating how Japanese companies at key historical moments assigned value, or "luxury," to mass-produced products as an important business model. Japanese name-brand luxury evolved alongside a consumer society emerging in the late nineteenth century, with iconic companies whose names became associated with quality and style. At the same time, Western ideas of modernity merged with earlier artisanal ideals to create Japanese connotations of luxury for readily accessible products. Businesses manufactured items at all price points to increase consumer attainability, while starkly curtailing pr...

Portraits de Tokyo
Découvrez Tokyo à travers les yeux de ses habitants Capitale des paradoxes, où infrastructures ultramodernes et bâtiments historiques cohabitent, où frénésie et calme se répondent, Tôkyô réussit cet exploit de se dévoiler au monde entier tout en conservant pudiquement nombre de ses secrets. La ville semble composée d’un ensemble de villages-quartiers aux personnalités marquées et à l’imaginaire sans fin : izakayas bruyants de Shinjuku ou de Nakano, ambiance bohème de Shimokita, cerisiers en fleur du canal de Naka-meguro, matsuris de Koenji ou d’Asakusa... Sans oublier cette nature, si omniprésente au Japon, qui surgit par- ci, par-là, jusque dans la capitale. Les qua...
J'ai épousé un maître de Nô
Cet ouvrage est un récit qui décrit la rencontre de deux cultures opposées et qui nous fait découvrir le monde du théâtre Nô de l’intérieur. Madeleine Abdel-Jalil, issue d’une vieille famille de chrétiens d’Orient, raconte comment, fuyant à la guerre civile libanaise en 1976, à l’âge de 18 ans, elle a rejoint sa sœur installée au Japon puis intégrée une tradition hiérarchisée en épousant un maître de Nô, Naohiko Umewaka, dont la lignée remonte à plus de 600 ans. Elle nous introduit dans l’univers du Nô, une tradition théâtrale japonaise créée au XIV° siècle, et nous éclaire sur ses concepts philosophiques et esthétiques. Son mari, Naohiko, est un pio...
Subalterns and Social Protest
The articles in this collection provide an alternative view of Middle Eastern history by focusing on the oppressed and the excluded, offering a challenge to the usual elite narratives. The collection is unique in its historical depth - ranging from the medieval period to the present - and its geographical reach, including Iran, the Ottoman Empire/Turkey, the Balkans, the Arab Middle East and North Africa. The first to focus on the oppressed and the excluded, and their differing strategies of survival, of negotiation, and of protest and resistance, the book covers: both major social classes and sectors the working class the peasantry the urban poor women marginal groups such as gypsies and slaves Based on perspectives drawn from the work of the great European social historians, and particularly inspired by Antonio Gramsci, the collection seeks to restore a sense of historical agency to subaltern classes in the region, and to uncover ‘the politics of the people’.
The Architecture of Bathing
A celebration of communal bathing—swimming pools, saunas, beaches, ritual baths, sweat lodges, and more—viewed through the lens of architecture and landscape. We enter the public pool, the sauna, or the beach with a heightened awareness of our bodies and the bodies of others. The phenomenology of bathing opens all of our senses toward the physical world entwined with the social, while the history of bathing is one of shared space, in both natural and built environments. In The Architecture of Bathing, Christie Pearson offers a unique examination of communal bathing and its history from the perspective of architecture and landscape. Engagingly written and richly illustrated, with more tha...
