The dominant account of Alexandrian cosmopolitanism elevates things European in the city?s culture and simultaneously places things Egyptian under the sign of decline. The book goes beyond this civilization/barbarism binary to trace other modes of intercultural solidarity.Halim presents a comparative study of literary representations, addressing poetry, fiction, guidebooks, and operettas, among other genres. She reappraises three writers?C. P. Cavafy, E. M. Forster, and Lawrence Durrell?who she maintains have been cast as the canon of Alexandria. Attending to issues of genre, gender, ethnicity, and class, she refutes the view that these writers? representations are largely congruent and uncovers a variety of positions ranging from Orientalist to anticolonial. The book then turns to Bernard de Zogheb, a virtually unpublished writer, and elicits his camp parodies of elite Levantine mores in operettas, one of which centers on Cavafy. Drawing on Arabic critical and historical texts, as well as contemporary writers? and filmmakers? engagement with the canonical triumvirate, Halim orchestrates an Egyptian dialogue with theEuropean representations. 606 $aCosmopolitanism in literature 606 $aEuropean literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aAlexandria (Egypt)$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCosmopolitanism in literature. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.93358621 700 $aHalim$b Hala$01053980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452496703321 996 $aAlexandrian cosmopolitanism$92486258 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04180nam 22007695 450 001 9910370254703321 005 20230810164957.0 010 $a9783030220525 010 $a3030220524 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-22052-5 035 $a(CKB)4940000000158771 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6005493 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-22052-5 035 $a(Perlego)3480202 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000158771 100 $a20200103d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Creation of the East Timorese Economy $eVolume 2: Birth of a Nation /$fby Mats Lundahl, Fredrik Sjöholm 205 $a1st ed. 2019. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (409 pages) $cillustrations 225 1 $aPalgrave Studies in Economic History,$x2662-6500 311 08$a9783030220518 311 08$a3030220516 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

The former cannot be properly understood without a knowledge of the historical process that created the present-day situation. This research monograph is the first book to combine a historical analysis of the creation and development of the economy of East Timor from the earliest times to the present, and an analysis of the main contemporary problems facing the East Timorese economy. Volume II offers a detailed analysis of the economy of East Timor, of politics, fiscal policy and social progress. It pays particular attention to structural problems: employment generation and the lack of a modern sector, the modernization of agriculture and the management of the oil deposits in the Timor Sea. The first volume, available separately, considers East Timor from a chronological perspective, as a Portuguese colony, and a country occupied by Indonesia up to national independence in 2002. This book will appeal to economists, political scientists and social scientists in general as well as practitioners, since it focuses on down-to-earth problems that need to be solved for the economy to develop. The book can also be read by students both at the undergraduate and graduate levels and could be used for case studies in development. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Economic History,$x2662-6500 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aAsia$xHistory 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aPower resources 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aAsian History 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aNatural Resource and Energy Economics 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aAsia$xHistory. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aPower resources. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aAsian History. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aNatural Resource and Energy Economics. 676 $a330.95986 676 $a330.95987 700 $aLundahl$b Mats$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0129849 702 $aSjöholm$b Fredrik$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370254703321 996 $aThe Creation of the East Timorese Economy$91922965 997 $aUNINA
