Divided into four sections-"Theory," "The City," "Streets," and "Signs"-the novel reimagines Victoria through maps and other historical documents and artifacts, mixing real-world scenarios with purely imaginary people and events while incorporating anecdotes and actual and fictional social commentary and critique.Much like the quasi-fictional adventures in map-reading and remapping explored by Paul Auster, Jorge Luis Borges, and Italo Calvino, Dung Kai-cheung's novel challenges the representation of place and history and the limits of technical and scientific media in reconstructing a history. It best exemplifies the author's versatility and experimentation, along with China's rapidly evolving literary culture, by blending fiction, nonfiction, and poetry in a story about succeeding and failing to recapture the things we lose. Playing with a variety of styles and subjects, Dung Kai-cheung inventively engages with the fate of Hong Kong since its British "handover" in 1997, which officially marked the end of colonial rule and the beginning of an uncharted future.Weatherhead books on Asia.LITERARY CRITICISM / GeneralbisacshHong Kong (China)FictionElectronic books.LITERARY CRITICISM / General.895.1/352Dong Qizhang1967-1039184Hansson Anders1944-McDougall Bonnie S.1941-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462759903321Atlas2461231UNINA06040nam 2200961 450 991079771920332120191202160300.01-84779-934-51-84779-935-310.7765/9781847799357(CKB)3710000000529356(EBL)4310854(SSID)ssj0001590037(PQKBManifestationID)16284433(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001590037(PQKBWorkID)12865838(PQKB)10179740(MiAaPQ)EBC4310854(OCoLC)980737485(MdBmJHUP)muse59367(UkMaJRU)992979761524901631(DE-B1597)659321(DE-B1597)9781847799357(EXLCZ)99371000000052935620191202h20142014 fy| 0engur||#---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEuropean social democracy during the global economic crisis renovation or resignation? /edited by David J.

It assesses how social democratic parties have responded, at the national as well as at the European Union level. A wide range of leading political scientists provide the reader with an in-depth understanding of the prospects for social democracy in the midst of an unprecedented crisis for neoliberalism. The book draws together some of the most well-known and prestigious scholars of social democracy and social democratic parties, along with a number of impressive new scholars in the field, to present a compelling and up to date analysis of social democratic fortunes in the contemporary period. It benefits from an analysis of social democratic parties' experiences in 6 different countries - the UK, Sweden, Germany, France, Spain and Greece - along with a number of chapters on the fate of social democracy in the institutions of the EU.Socialist partiesEuropeGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009Political aspectsEuropean Union countriesPoliticsmupPolitical PartiesbicsscPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-Communism & SocialismbisachPolitical ideologiesthemaEuropeEuropean Union countriesfastEuropefastEuropeSocial policyEuropeEconomic policyBritish Labour Party.European Union.European social democracy.Gordon Brown.Great Recession.Party of European Socialists.Tony Blair.global economic crisis.neo-liberal consensus.political economy.southern Europe.supranational re-social democratization.there is no alternative.western Europe.Socialist partiesGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009Political aspectsPoliticsPolitical PartiesPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-Communism & SocialismPolitical ideologies324.243074Vieira MathieuEscalona Fabien1987-Waele Jean-Michel deBailey David J.UkMaJRUBOOK9910797719203321European social democracy during the global economic crisis3809654UNINA
