This makes the book?s discussion of the many intermediate points between full integration and outright independence so important ? and so rewarding a read.? ?Professor Martin Thomas, University of Exeter ?This book is the most complete and up-to-date study of non-sovereign territories that I have read, and being so extremely rich in detail and references, offers a significant foundation for future studies.? ?Dr Wouter Veenendaal, University of Leiden ?This substantial study updates and expands the same authors? 1998 book, The Last Colonies. It deals with what are now known as overseas territories, not one of which has progressed to independence in the years following the first book. This book is comprehensive and learned yet written in an accessible style, appealing to students of contemporary politics and international relations as well as those involved in the burgeoning field of island studies.? ?Professor Stephen A. Royle, Queen?s University Belfast This book offers a fresh analysis of constitutional, economic, demographic and cultural developments in the overseas territories of Britain, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Ranging from Greenland to Gibraltar, the Falklands to the Faroes, and encompassing islands in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, and the Caribbean, these territories command attention because of their unique status, and for the ways that they occasionally become flashpoints for rival international claims, dubious financial activities, illegal migration and clashes between metropolitan and local mores. Connell and Aldrich argue that a negotiated dependency brings greater benefits to these territories than might independence. 606 $aEconomic development$xResearch 606 $aHuman geography 615 0$aEconomic development$xResearch. 615 0$aHuman geography. 676 $a338.9 700 $aConnell$b John$f1909-1965,$0968610 702 $aAldrich$b Robert$f1954- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910422643203321 996 $aThe ends of empire$92200144 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03945nam 22005415 450 001 996359641703316 005 20231110222621.0 010 $a3-11-069395-X 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110693959 035 $a(CKB)4100000011435917 035 $a(DE-B1597)545666 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110693959 035 $a(OCoLC)1198929022 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6637554 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6637554 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/60745 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011435917 100 $a20200915h20202020 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aTerrorizing Images $eTrauma and Ekphrasis in Contemporary Literature /$fCharles Ivan Armstrong, Unni Langas 210 $cDe Gruyter$d2020 210 1$aBerlin ;$aBoston : $cDe Gruyter, $d[2020] 210 4$d©2020 215 $a1 online resource (VI, 204 p.) 225 0 $aCulture & Conflict ;$v16 311 $a3-11-069290-2 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tTable of Contents -- $tIntroduction: Encounters between Trauma and Ekphrasis, Words and Images -- $tDe te fabula narratur!

This volume proposes that paying attention to how images of trauma and conflict are described in literary texts, i.e. to the rhetorical practice known as "ekphrasis", is crucial to our understanding of how such images work. The volume's contributors discuss verbal images of trauma and terror in literary texts both from a contemporary perspective and as historical artefacts in order to illuminate the many different functions of ekphrasis in literature. The articles in this volume reflect the vast developments in the field of trauma studies since the 1990s, a field that has recently broadened to include genres beyond the memoir and testimony and that lends itself well to new postcolonial, feminist, and multimedia approaches. By expanding the scholarly understanding of how images of trauma are described, interpreted, and acted out in literary texts, this collected volume makes a significant contribution to both trauma and memory studies, as well as more broadly to cultural studies. 410 0$aCulture and Conflict 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 610 $aTrauma. 610 $aekphrasis. 610 $aliterary studies, image. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 686 $aEC 5197$qDE-25/sred21$2rvk 700 $aLangas$b Unni$4auth$01434131 702 $aArmstrong$b Charles Ivan, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLangas$b Unni, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996359641703316 996 $aTerrorizing Images$93586258 997 $aUNISA
