An Analysis of Chinese Literature in the New Era: Navigating Identity and Modernity (Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature)
by Mao NieAn Analysis of Chinese Literature in the New Era serves as an essential window for international audiences to understand the rapid development of China over more than three decades and offers a critical interpretation of Chinese literature during this time. Due to the multifaceted influences of politics, economy, and cultural traditions, this literature has navigated an extraordinary path. The complexity of the writers' personalities, the ambiguity, the richness of artistic techniques, and the obscurity of textual themes are all characteristic representations of the work. These aspects have become part of the reflection of China's politics, economy, and culture following the reform and opening-up policy, infiltrating the daily lives of the Chinese people. Chinese writers' study and emulation of international authors have allowed Chinese literature in the new era to continue its progress on the path of modernization in world literature, creating a unique landscape in the realm of Third World literature and solidifying the foundation for dialogue with First World literature.
An Archaeology of the Bantu Expansion: Early Settlers South of the Congo Rainforest
by Koen Bostoen Peter R Coutros Jessamy H. Doman Igor Matonda SakalaThe Bantu Expansion is one of the most intriguing issues in African history. Based on extensive fieldwork in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and laboratory analysis, this book provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and multi-proxy account of the first Bantu speakers south of the Congo rainforest.This volume begins with state-of-the-art reviews of the archaeological, palaeoenvironmental, genetic, linguistic, and oral historical contexts of the Bantu Expansion and includes evidence from over 150 previously unknown archaeological sites with extensive analyses of pottery, lithics, soil stable isotopes, phytoliths, charcoal, and human remains. Seven appendices contain the full metadata, radiometric, and geographical data for each site and comparative language data. The volume concludes with a sweeping interdisciplinary reconstruction of the first Bantu-speaking settlers in the Kwilu-Kasai region and rethinks how farming, climate change, and contact with Central African hunter-gatherers and Ubangi speakers impacted their lifeworld.This book is indispensable for scholars and students of Africa from a wide variety of fields such as archaeology, palaeoecology, linguistics, population genetics, history, and anthropology, and of considerable interest to scientists active in other parts of the world. All who think African history matters will find it a valuable source.
An Evolutionary Story of Agency: How Life Evolved to Act on its Own (Foundations for Interdisciplinarity in the Life Sciences: Concise Monographs)
by Juli Peretó Álvaro MorenoThis open access book exposes the role of "agency" in the history of life. Agency is understood as the capacity of an organism to act, make decisions, and exercise control over its actions in order to achieve goals or to navigate and interact with its environment. The question of agency has become a hot and controversial topic in Biology and Philosophy of the Natural Sciences. This volume studies said topic through its historical expressions, investigating how and why it has appeared, and what was its selective advantage in the past, assuming a continuity in how it has evolved in different life forms. By also explaining how and why agency has evolved and become more complex in some branches of the tree of life, the authors show how life has made its way on our planet with forms of agency as diverse as those shown by bacteria, plants or animals, which are the most sophisticated and complex agents. The book is of great interest to a broad audience, whether philosophically or biologically inclined, interested in understanding fundamental aspects of how life works and in seeking explanations for why life has been so successful on planet Earth.

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Climate Change: Perspectives from the Social Sciences and Humanities (Routledge Advances in Climate Change Research)
by Armelle Nugier Andrea Catellani Louise-Amélie Cougnon Øyvind GjerstadThis book offers a comprehensive overview of the ways in which research and perspectives from the social sciences and humanities can be combined for a more effective understanding of climate change and its impacts. Climate change affects all aspects of life, influencing personal lifestyle choices and political perceptions. Beyond legal and political measures, the engagement of individuals and local communities has become essential for necessary systemic change. Understanding the complex human and social dynamics is key to achieving real change, in favour of a resilient and low-carbon future.This book highlights the theoretical and practical contributions of the social sciences and humanities in understanding how humans perceive and respond to climate change, and the ways in which they can be combined to fight climate disruption and its effects. These interdisciplinary approaches draw upon fields such as communication sciences, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, educational sciences, management studies, and philosophy, to explore the nexus between climate change and human and social dynamics in individual, collective, and political actions.Drawing on a wide range of interesting case studies, the book highlights opportunities for collaboration between disciplines by combining methodological and theoretical components and synthesizing the research results. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that a more effective collaboration between the social sciences and humanities is required to fully understand the complexities of our relationship with climate change, and to pave the way to a real ecological transition. The book will be of use to scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners interested in communication studies, psychology, linguistics, sociology, philosophy, management, educational studies, transition studies, and connected fields.
