The setting of this improbable but beguiling tale is 1354 and the Hundred Years' War being waged for control of France. Seeing an opportunity for political and material gain, the demagogic dictator of Rome tells Giannino di Guccio that he is in fact the lost heir to Louis X, allegedly switched at birth with the son of a Tuscan merchant. Once convinced of his birthright, Giannino claims for himself the name Jean I, king of France, and sets out on a brave-if ultimately ruinous-quest that leads him across Europe to prove his identity. With the skill of a crime scene detective, Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri digs up evidence in the historical record to follow the story of a life so incredible that it was long considered a literary invention of the Italian Renaissance. From Italy to Hungry, then through Germany and France, the would-be king's unique combination of guile and earnestness seems to command the aid of lords and soldiers, the indulgence of inn-keepers and merchants, and the collusion of priests and rogues along the way. The apparent absurdity of the tale allows Carpegna Falconieri to analyze late-medieval society, exploring questions of essence and appearance, being and belief, at a time when the divine right of kings confronted the rise of mercantile culture. Giannino's life represents a moment in which truth, lies, history, and memory combine to make us wonder where reality leaves off and fiction begins. 606 $aImpostors and imposture$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xKings and rulers 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImpostors and imposture 676 $a944/.024092 676 $aB 700 $aDi Carpegna Falconieri$b Tommaso$0281373 701 $aMcCuaig$b William$0241307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454424703321 996 $aThe man who believed he was king of France$92198920 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01672nam 2200397 a 450 001 9910701753703321 005 20120718135641.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002420561 035 $a(OCoLC)789137888 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002420561 100 $a20120425d2012 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCompetitiveness and climate policy$b[electronic resource] $eavoiding leakage of jobs and emissions : hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Eleventh Congress, first session, March 18, 2009 210 1$aWashington :$cU.S. G.P.O.,$d2012. 215 $a1 online resource (vi, 196 pages) $cillustrations, map 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed on Apr. 25, 2012). 300 $aPaper version available for sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. G.P.O. 300 $a"Serial no. 111-17." 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 517 $aCompetitiveness and climate policy 606 $aCarbon dioxide mitigation$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEmissions trading$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aClimate change mitigation$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aCarbon dioxide mitigation$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEmissions trading$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aClimate change mitigation$xEconomic aspects 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910701753703321 996 $aCompetitiveness and climate policy$93513499 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03767nam 22006374a 450 001 9910781091403321 005 20230207231158.0 010 $a1-282-42606-0 010 $a9786612426063 010 $a0-226-00198-9 024 7 $a10.7208/9780226001982 035 $a(CKB)2550000000001550 035 $a(EBL)471826 035 $a(OCoLC)527693260 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000336873 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11929287 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000336873 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10301845 035 $a(PQKB)10300429 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC471826 035 $a(DE-B1597)524797 035 $a(OCoLC)1135585732 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780226001982 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL471826 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10349990 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL242606 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000001550 100 $a20040122d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDramas of nationhood$b[electronic resource] $ethe politics of television in Egypt /$fLila Abu-Lughod ; with a foreword by Anthony T.

Dramas of Nationhood identifies a fantastic cultural form that binds together the Egyptian nation-television serials. These melodramatic programs-like soap operas but more closely tied to political and social issues than their Western counterparts-have been shown on television in Egypt for more than thirty years. In this book, Lila Abu-Lughod examines the shifting politics of these serials and the way their contents both reflect and seek to direct the changing course of Islam, gender relations, and everyday life in this Middle Eastern nation. Representing a decade's worth of research, Dramas of Nationhood makes a case for the importance of studying television to answer larger questions about culture, power, and modern self-fashionings. Abu-Lughod explores the elements of developmentalist ideology and the visions of national progress that once dominated Egyptian television-now experiencing a crisis. She discusses the broadcasts in rich detail, from the generic emotional qualities of TV serials and the depictions of authentic national culture, to the debates inflamed by their deliberate strategies for combating religious extremism. 410 0$aLewis Henry Morgan lectures ;$v2001. 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects$zEgypt 610 $anation, national identity, popular culture, television, media, egypt, melodrama, serials, islam, gender, femininity, middle east, power, self-fashioning, progress, religion, fundamentalism, extremism, education, feminism, rural, authenticity, globalization, globalism, postcolonialism, community, consumption, affinity, capitalism, nonfiction, anthropology, sociology, history, domestic staff, servant, maid, nanny, class, emancipation, liberty, civil rights, politics, modernity, social change. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xSocial aspects 676 $a302.23/45/0962 700 $aAbu-Lughod$b Lila$0543898 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781091403321 996 $aDramas of nationhood$91363774 997 $aUNINA
