Charting the shifting boundaries between myth and history in Javanese Mahabharata and Ramayana tales, Laurie J. Sears reveals what happens when these stories move from village performances and palace manuscripts into colonial texts and nationalist journals and, most recently, comic books and novels. Historical, anthropological, and literary in its method and insight, this work offers a dramatic reassessment of both Javanese literary/theatrical production and Dutch scholarship on Southeast Asia.Though Javanese shadow theater (wayang) has existed for hundreds of years, our knowledge of its history, performance practice, and role in Javanese society only begins with Dutch documentation and interpretation in the nineteenth century. Analyzing the Mahabharata and Ramayana tales in relation to court poetry, Islamic faith, Dutch scholarship, and nationalist journals, Sears shows how the shadow theater as we know it today must be understood as a hybrid of Javanese and Dutch ideas and interests, inseparable from a particular colonial moment. In doing so, she contributes to a re–envisioning of European histories that acknowledges the influence of Asian, African, and New World cultures on European thought—and to a rewriting of colonial and postcolonial Javanese histories that questions the boundaries and content of history and story, myth and allegory, colonialism and culture.Shadows of Empire will appeal not only to specialists in Javanese culture and historians of Indonesia, but also to a wide range of scholars in the areas of performance and literature, anthropology, Southeast Asian studies, and postcolonial studies.ACLS Fellows’ publications.WayangWayang playsHistory and criticismTalesIndonesiaJavaHistory and criticismJava (Indonesia)HistoryWayang.Wayang playsHistory and criticism.TalesHistory and criticism.791.5/3Sears Laurie J(Laurie Jo)652925NDDNDDBOOK9910789337803321Shadows of empire2371952UNINA04949nam 2200661 450 991014064310332120210604110245.01-5231-1512-21-118-69667-01-118-69664-6(CKB)2670000000616828(EBL)2052143(SSID)ssj0001515556(PQKBManifestationID)12621975(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001515556(PQKBWorkID)11482274(PQKB)10700829(PQKBManifestationID)16039760(PQKB)20937833(MiAaPQ)EBC4037757(DLC) 2015011754(MiAaPQ)EBC2052143(PPN)190117923(OCoLC)905600560(EXLCZ)99267000000061682820151109h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrPhysical properties of high-temperature superconductors /Rainer WescheChichester, England :Wiley,2015.©20151 online resource (546 p.)Wiley Series in Materials for Electronic and Optoelectronic ApplicationsDescription based upon print version of record.1-118-69669-7 1-119-97881-5 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and indexes.Cover; Title Page; Copyright; Contents; About the Author; Series Preface; Preface; Acknowledgment; List of Tables; Nomenclature; Chapter 1 Brief History of Superconductivity; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 Milestones in the Field of Superconductivity; 1.2.1 Early Discoveries; 1.2.2 Progress in the Understanding of Superconductivity; 1.2.3 Discovery of High-Temperature Superconductivity; 1.2.4 Importance of Higher Transition Temperatures for Applications; References; Chapter 2 The Superconducting State; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Electrical Resistance; 2.3 Characteristic Properties of Superconductors2.4 Superconductor Electrodynamics2.5 Thermodynamics of Superconductors; References; Chapter 3 Superconductivity: A Macroscopic Quantum Phenomenon; 3.1 Introduction; 3.2 BCS Theory of Superconductivity; 3.3 Tunneling Effects; References; Chapter 4 Type II Superconductors; 4.1 Introduction; 4.2 The Ginzburg-Landau Theory; 4.3 Magnetic Behavior of Type I and Type II Superconductors; 4.4 Critical Current Densities of Type I and Type II Superconductors; 4.5 Anisotropic Superconductors; References; Chapter 5 Cuprate Superconductors: An Overview; 5.1 Introduction5.2 Families of Superconductive Cuprates5.3 Variation of Charge Carrier Density (Doping); 5.4 Summary; References; Chapter 6 Crystal Structures of Cuprate Superconductors; 6.1 Introduction; 6.2 Diffraction Methods; 6.2.1 Bragg Condition; 6.2.2 Miller Indices; 6.2.3 Classification of Crystal Structures; 6.2.4 X-ray Diffraction; 6.2.5 Neutron Diffraction; 6.3 Crystal Structures of the Cuprate High-Temperature Superconductors; 6.3.1 The Crystal Structure of La2CuO4; 6.3.2 The Crystal Structure of YBa2Cu3O7-δ; 6.3.3 The Crystal Structures of Bi-22(n - 1)n High-Temperature Superconductors6.3.4 The Crystal Structures of Tl-based High-Temperature Superconductors6.3.5 The Crystal Structures of Hg-based High-Temperature Superconductors; 6.3.6 Lattice Parameters of Cuprate Superconductors; References; Chapter 7 Empirical Rules for the Critical Temperature; 7.1 Introduction; 7.2 Relations between Charge Carrier Density and Critical Temperature; 7.3 Effect of the Number of CuO2 Planes in the Copper Oxide Blocks; 7.4 Effect of Pressure on the Critical Temperature; 7.5 Summary; References; Chapter 8 Generic Phase Diagram of Cuprate Superconductors; 8.1 Introduction8.2 Generic Phase Diagram of Hole-Doped Cuprate Superconductors8.2.1 Generic Phase Diagram: An Overview; 8.2.2 Symmetry of the Superconducting Order Parameter; 8.2.3 The Pseudogap; 8.3 Summary; References; Chapter 9 Superconducting Properties of Cuprate High-Tc Superconductors; 9.1 Introduction; 9.2 Characteristic Length Scales; 9.3 Superconducting Energy Gap; 9.4 Magnetic Phase Diagram and Irreversibility Line; 9.5 Critical Current Densities in Cuprate Superconductors; 9.5.1 Definitions of the Critical Current; 9.5.2 Critical Currents in Polycrystalline Cuprate Superconductors9.5.3 Critical Currents in Bulk Cuprate SuperconductorsWiley series in materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications.High temperature superconductorsHigh temperature superconductors.621.3/5Wesche Rainer1956-970585MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910140643103321Physical properties of high-temperature superconductors2206023UNINA
