It has also been disseminated more widely, initially through Western trade and colonisation and, more recently, through the increasing globalisation of media products and outlets. Scaled for Success offers the first detailed overview of the mermaids dispersal outside Europe. Complementing previous studies of the interrelationship between the mermaid and Mami Wata spirit in West Africa, this volume addresses the mermaids presence in a range of Middle Eastern, Asian, Australian, Latin American and North American contexts. Individual chapters identify the manner in which the mermaid has been variously syncretised and/or resignified in contexts as diverse as Indian public statuary, Thai cinema and Coney Islands annual Mermaid Parade. Rather than lingering as a relic of a bygone age, the mermaid emerges as a versatile, dynamic and, above all, polyvalent figure. Her prominence exemplifies the manner in which contemporary media-lore has extended the currency of established folkloric figures in new and often surprising ways. Analysing aspects of religious symbolism, visual art, literature and contemporary popular culture, this copiously illustrated volume profiles an intriguing and highly diverse phenomenon. 606 $aMermaids$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMermaids 676 $a398.21 676 $a398.45 700 $aHayward$b Philip$01089403 702 $aBraham$b Persephone 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965346503321 996 $aScaled for Success$94344006 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03745nam 22006972 450 001 9910961505803321 005 20160527125446.0 010 $a1-139-93047-8 010 $a1-107-12729-7 010 $a1-280-41714-5 010 $a0-511-79081-3 010 $a0-511-17760-7 010 $a1-139-14577-0 010 $a0-511-06579-5 010 $a0-511-05948-5 010 $a0-511-30509-5 010 $a0-511-06792-5 035 $a(CKB)1000000000017928 035 $a(EBL)217738 035 $a(OCoLC)808035961 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000267976 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11236587 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000267976 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10214511 035 $a(PQKB)10779754 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9780511790812 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC217738 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL217738 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10069851 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL41714 035 $a(PPN)189668474 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000017928 100 $a20100611d2002|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aVisions of politics$hVolume 1$iRegarding method /$fQuentin Skinner 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aCambridge :$cCambridge University Press,$d2002. 215 $a1 online resource (xvi, 209 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 225 0 $aVisions of politics ;$vv.1 300 $aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). 311 0 $a0-521-58926-6 311 0 $a0-521-58105-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Contents; General preface; Full Contents: Volumes 1-3; Acknowledgements; Conventions; 1 Introduction: Seeing things their way; 2 The practice of history and the cult of the fact; 3 Interpretation, rationality and truth; 4 Meaning and understanding in the history of ideas; 5 Motives, intentions and interpretation; 6 Interpretation and the understanding of speech acts; 7 'Social meaning' and the explanation of social action; 8 Moral principles and social change; 9 The idea of a cultural lexicon; 10 Retrospect: Studying rhetoric and conceptual change; Bibliography; Index 330 $aThe first of three volumes of essays by Quentin Skinner, one of the world's leading intellectual historians. This collection includes some of his most important philosophical and methodological statements written over the past four decades, each carefully revised for publication in this form. In a series of seminal essays Professor Skinner sets forth the intellectual principles that inform his work. Writing as a practising historian, he considers the theoretical difficulties inherent in the pursuit of knowledge and interpretation, and elucidates the methodology which finds its expression in his two successive volumes. All of Professor Skinner's work is characterised by philosophical power, limpid clarity, and elegance of exposition; these essays, many of which are now recognised classics, provide a fascinating and convenient digest of the development of his thought. Professor Skinner has been awarded the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for Political Thought, History and Theory.
