These depictions and adaptations of the Ancient World have varied at different times, however, in accordance with changes in societies and cultures. This book investigates the varying receptions and ideological manipulations of the classical world in children’s literature. Its subtitle, Heroes and Eagles , reflects the two most common ways in which this reception appears, namely in the forms of the portrayal of the Greek heroic world of classical mythology on the one hand, and of the Roman imperial presence on the other. Both of these are ideologically loaded approaches intended to educate the young reader.Metaforms ;Volume 6.Children's literatureClassical influencesChildren's literatureHistory and criticismElectronic books.Children's literatureClassical influences.Children's literatureHistory and criticism.809/.9335838Maurice Lisa1968-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461106803321The reception of ancient Greece and Rome in children's literature2026251UNINA02167nam 2200433 450 991081841110332120201001195411.01-78680-627-4(CKB)4100000011300631(MiAaPQ)EBC6225264(Au-PeEL)EBL6225264(OCoLC)1158222651(BIP)071527600(EXLCZ)99410000001130063120201001d2020 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDying for an iPhone Apple, Foxconn and the lives of Chinas workers /Jenny Chan, Mark Selden, Pun NgaiLondon :Pluto Press,[2020]20201 online resource (305 pages)0-7453-4129-2 Suicides, excessive overtime, hostility and violence on the factory floor in China. Drawing on vivid testimonies from rural migrant workers, student interns, managers and trade union staff, Dying for an iPhone is a devastating expose of two of the worlds most powerful companies: Foxconn and Apple.0As the leading manufacturer of iPhones, iPads and Kindles, and employing one million workers in China alone, Taiwanese-invested Foxconns drive to dominate global electronics manufacturing has aligned perfectly with Chinas goal of becoming the world leader in technology. This book reveals the human cost of that ambition and what our demands for the newest and best technology mean for workers.0Foxconn workers have repeatedly demonstrated their power to strike at key nodes of transnational production, challenge management and the Chinese state, and confront global tech behemoths. Dying for an iPhone allows us to assess the impact of global capitalisms deepening crisis on workers.Work environmentWork environment.658.312Chan Jenny1722643Ngai PunSelden MarkMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818411103321Dying for an iPhone4123194UNINA
