Topics covered include: different constructions of knots, knot diagrams, knot groups, fibred knots, characterisation of torus knots, prime decomposition of knots, cyclic coverings and Alexander polynomials and modules together with the free differential calculus, braids, branched coverings and knots, Montesinos links, representations of knot groups, surgery of 3-manifolds and knots, Jones and HOMFLYPT polynomials. Knot theory has expanded enormously since the first edition of this book published in 1985. In this third completely revised and extended edition a chapter about bridge number and companionship of knots has been added. The book contains many figures and some tables of invariants of knots. This comprehensive account is an indispensable reference source for anyone interested in both classical and modern knot theory. Most of the topics considered in the book are developed in detail; only the main properties of fundamental groups, covering spaces and some basic results of combinatorial group theory are assumed to be known. The text is accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics. 410 3$aDe Gruyter Studies in Mathematics 606 $aKnot theory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKnot theory. 676 $a514/.2242 700 $aBurde$b Gerhard$f1931-$0535866 701 $aZieschang$b Heiner$055310 701 $aHeusener$b Michael$0740886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453774803321 996 $aKnots$91469700 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04221nam 2200613 450 001 9910464060703321 005 20220204195525.0 035 $a(CKB)2670000000617923 035 $a(EBL)2055700 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001481446 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11978984 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001481446 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11517953 035 $a(PQKB)10571808 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2055700 035 $a(OCoLC)910160003 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse47977 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL2055700 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11056944 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL788128 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000617923 100 $a20150601h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Biko's ghost $ethe iconography of black consciousness /$fShannen L.

With such statements, Stephen Biko became the voice of Black Consciousness. And with Biko's brutal death in the custody of the South African police, he became a martyr, an enduring symbol of the horrors of apartheid. Through the lens of visual culture, Biko's Ghost reveals how the man and the ideology he promoted have profoundly influenced liberation politics and race discourse--in South Africa and around the globe--ever since. Tracing the linked histories of Black Consciousness and its most famous proponent, Biko's Ghost explores the concepts of unity, ancestry, and action that lie at the heart of the ideology and the man. It challenges the dominant historical view of Black Consciousness as ineffectual or racially exclusive, suppressed on the one side by the apartheid regime and on the other by the African National Congress. Engaging theories of trauma and representation, and icon and ideology, Shannen L. Hill considers the martyred Biko as an embattled icon, his image portrayals assuming different shapes and political meanings in different hands. So, too, does she illuminate how Black Consciousness worked behind the scenes throughout the 1980's, a decade of heightened popular unrest and state censorship. She shows how--in streams of imagery that continue to multiply nearly forty years on--Biko's visage and the ongoing life of Black Consciousness served as instruments through which artists could combat the abuses of apartheid and unsettle the "rainbow nation" that followed.
