Or, more to the point, what is life? The question is as old as the ages and has not been (and may never be) resolved. Life springs from life, and liveliness motivates matter to act the way it does. Yet vitality in its very unpredictability often appears as a threat. In this intellectually stimulating work, Denise Gigante looks at how major writers of the Romantic period strove to produce living forms of art on an analogy with biological form, often finding themselves face to face with a power known as monstrous. The poets Christopher Smart, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats were all immersed in a culture obsessed with scientific ideas about vital power and its generation, and they broke with poetic convention in imagining new forms of "life." In Life: Organic Form and Romanticism, Gigante offers a way to read ostensibly difficult poetry and reflects on the natural-philosophical idea of organic form and the discipline of literary studies. 606 $aEnglish poetry$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish poetry$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLife in literature 606 $aLife sciences in literature 606 $aLiterature and science$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and science$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLife in literature. 615 0$aLife sciences in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 615 0$aRomanticism 676 $a821/.709 700 $aGigante$b Denise$f1965-$01036375 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452815603321 996 $aLife$92456673 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03984oam 2200673I 450 001 9910155246903321 005 20240505174215.0 010 $a1-315-54516-0 010 $a1-134-82119-0 010 $a1-134-82112-3 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315545165 035 $a(CKB)3710000000973637 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4771787 035 $a(OCoLC)968767209 035 $a(BIP)56234868 035 $a(BIP)56111060 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000973637 100 $a20180706d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aEthnic conflict in asymmetric federations $ecomparative experience of the former Soviet and Yugoslav regions /$fGorana Grgic 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (287 pages) $cillustrations 225 0 $aRoutledge studies in federalism and decentralization ;$v3 311 08$a1-138-68242-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- 1.

After their disintegration, the former Yugoslav republics spiralled into a set of ethnic conflicts that did not leave a single one of them unscathed, and in the ex-Soviet space, conflicts were far more limited. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the difference in state collapses and ensuing conflicts in the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia by focusing on their asymmetric ethnofederal structure and the different dynamics of ethnic mobilization that the federal units experienced. Moreover, it explores the links between identity politics and international relations, as the latter has been a latecomer in research on ethnonationalism and ethnic conflict. Finally, it contributes to the literature on the democratization-conflict nexus by proposing that the sequencing of ethnic mobilization and political liberalization has significant effects on the likelihood of conflict. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of Post-Soviet politics, Balkan politics, ethnic conflict, peace and conflict studies, federalism, and more broadly to comparative politics and international relations. 606 $aEthnic conflict$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aEthnic conflict$zFormer Yugoslav republics 606 $aMinorities$xGovernment policy$zSoviet Union 606 $aMinorities$xGovernment policy$zYugoslavia 606 $aDemocratization$zFormer Soviet republics 606 $aDemocratization$zFormer Yugoslav republics 606 $aFederal government$zSoviet Union 606 $aFederal government$zYugoslavia 607 $aSoviet Union$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aYugoslavia$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aMinorities$xGovernment policy 615 0$aMinorities$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aFederal government 615 0$aFederal government 676 $a303.6/408900947 700 $aGrgic$b Goran$f1965-,$0993212 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155246903321 996 $aEthnic conflict in asymmetric federations$92274267 997 $aUNINA
