This section of the text plunges us straight into the moral cesspool that Rome had apparently become in the later years of Nero's reign, chronicling the emperor's fledgling stage career including his plans for a grand tour of Greece; his participation in a city-wide orgy climaxing in his publicly consummated 'marriage' to his toy boy Pythagoras; the great fire of AD 64, during which large parts of central Rome went up in flames; and the rising of Nero's 'grotesque' new palace, the so-called 'Golden House', from the ashes of the city. This building project stoked the rumours that the emperor himself was behind the conflagration, and Tacitus goes on to present us with Nero's gruesome efforts to quell these mutterings by scapegoating and executing members of an unpopular new cult then starting to spread through the Roman empire: Christianity. All this contrasts starkly with four chapters focusing on one of Nero's most principled opponents, the Stoic senator Thrasea Paetus, an audacious figure of moral fibre, who courageously refuses to bend to the forces of imperial corruption and hypocrisy. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and a commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Owen's and Gildenhard's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis and historical background to encourage critical engagement with Tacitus' prose and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought."--Publisher's website.Classics textbooks ;volume 3.2054-2445.HumanitiesTextbooksRhetoricTextbooksRomeHistoryJulio-Claudians, 30 B.C.-68 A.DAncient RomeLatin textHumanitiesRhetoric937.07Owen Mathew802156Gildenhard Ingo1970-,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK996210786003316Tacitus, annals, 15.20-23, 33-452103377UNISA03190oam 2200445z- 450 9910758495103321202312062-35596-075-5(CKB)5590000001270985(oapen)doab131562(EXLCZ)99559000000127098520240731c2023uuuu -u- -engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCurrent Electoral Processes in Southeast Asia. Regional LearningsBangkokInstitut de recherche sur l'Asie du Sud-Est contemporaine20231 online resource (90 p.)Carnets de l'IrasecWhile Southeast Asia is completing a strong geopolitical sequence and the region remains a strategic area in the relations of influence in the Indo-Pacific, several countries are also focused on electoral agendas and the domestic political dynamics they impel. The Philippines saw a presidential election (May 2022) for which an assessment has yet to be made, while the general elections in Malaysia (November 2022) and the presidential one in Timor-Leste (April 2022), followed by the legislative elections in May 2023, open up new dynamics that have yet to be consolidated. The elections showed important contrasts between countries. The results of the polls in 2023 did not lead to political renewal, but in Thailand (legislative elections, 14 May) the electoral process was marked by uncertainty, while in Cambodia (legislative elections, 23 July) it wasn't much surprise. In Indonesia (general elections in February 2024), the campaign is still open, and the results could lead to very different directions. This book, Current Electoral Processes in Southeast Asia - Regional Learnings, provides an opportunity for experts from six countries to decipher the issues and consequences of these elections (including the future ones). Moreover, based on a regional perspective, it tries to draw comparisons, parallels and contrasts, and to identify broad regional trends in the functioning of electoral systems and the political institutions on which they are based. Current Electoral Processes in Southeast Asia - Regional Learnings follows on from a seminar organised by IRASEC and Heinrich Böll Stiftung-Southeast Asia Regional Office, hosted by the Faculty of Political Science of Chulalongkorn University and with the support of the King Prajadhipok's Institute, who provided a simultaneous translation in Thai language.Political science & theorybicssccompetitive authoritarianismdemocratic consolidationDemocratisationelectionselectoral administrationGovernment systemlegitimacymass mobilisationPolitical Binarismpolitical conventionsPolitical dynastiessubstantive democracyPolitical science & theoryBOOK9910758495103321Current Electoral Processes in Southeast Asia.
