Toward a contrapuntal double critique of colonial modernity --Acknowledgments --Notes --Select bibliography --IndexDecadent Orientalisms presents a sustained critique of the ways Orientalism and decadence have formed a joint discursive mode of the imperial imagination. Attentive to historical and literary configurations of language, race, religion, and power, Fieni shows the importance of understanding Western discourses of Eastern decline and obsolescence together with Arab and Islamic responses in which the language of decadence returns as a characteristic of the West. Taking seriously Edward Said’s claim that Orientalism is a “style of having power,” Fieni works historically through the aesthetic and ideological effects of Orientalist style, showing how it is at once comparative, descriptive, and performative. Orientalism, the book argues, relies upon decadence as the figure through which its positivist scientific claims become redistributed as speech acts—“truths” that establish dominance. Rather than attending to Orientalism as a repertoire of clichés and stereotypes, Decadent Orientalisms considers the systemic epistemological consequences of the diffuse, yet coherent network of institutions that have constituted Orientalism’s power.OrientalismFranceOrientalism in literatureDecadence in literatureDecadence (Literary movement)FranceElectronic books.Arabic literature.Francophone literature.Islam.Maghreb.Orientalism.colonial modernity.decadence.language politics.philology.secularism.OrientalismOrientalism in literature.Decadence in literature.Decadence (Literary movement)303.48/24405Fieni Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1038303DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910480173803321Decadent Orientalisms2469780UNINA03040nam 2200841z- 450 991034685210332120210212(CKB)4920000000095146(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/60383(oapen)doab60383(EXLCZ)99492000000009514620202102d2019 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSymmetry in Graph TheoryMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20191 online resource (340 p.)3-03897-658-X This book contains the successful invited submissions to a Special Issue of Symmetry on the subject of ""Graph Theory"". Although symmetry has always played an important role in Graph Theory, in recent years, this role has increased significantly in several branches of this field, including but not limited to Gromov hyperbolic graphs, the metric dimension of graphs, domination theory, and topological indices. This Special Issue includes contributions addressing new results on these topics, both from a theoretical and an applied point of view.algorithmalpha-boron nanotubeatom bond connectivity indexatom-bond connectivity ABC indexbasisbinary locating-domination numberbipartite graphscomplete graphconnectivitycupriteDevaney chaosdirect product of graphsdisjointnessdistinguishing numberdominating setdominationfunctigraphgear graphgeneral randi? indexgeneral Randi? indexgeneralized gear graphgeodesicsgeometric arithmetic indexgeometric-arithmetic GA indexgraph operatorsgromov hyperbolicityGromov hyperbolicityharmonic indexharmonic polynomialHex-Derived Cage networkshypercyclicityILP modelsinverse degree indexmetric basismetric dimensionMetric dimensionpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonsproducts of graphsresolving setrotationally-symmetric convex polytopessecure resolving set and secure resolving dominationtitanium difluoridetopological indicestopological transitivitytopologically mixingZagreb indicesRodriguez Jose Mauth1284078BOOK9910346852103321Symmetry in Graph Theory3019271UNINA
