Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Theatre and Religion on Krishna s Stage examines the history and form of India's râs lila folk theatre, and discusses how this theatre functions as a mechanism of worship and spirituality among Krishna devotees in India. From analyses of performances and conversations with performers, audience, and local scholars, Mason argues that râs lila actors and audience alike actively assume roles that locate them together in the spiritual reality that the play represents. Correlating Krishna devotion and theories of religious experience, this book suggests that the emotional experience of theatrical fiction may arise from the propensity of audiences to play out roles of their own through which they share a performance's reality. 208 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book begins with the claims of policymakers and explores charter schools at each stage of the policymaking process, from legislation to implementation.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the early twentieth century, Chinese immigration became the focal point for racial panic in Britain.

This painstakingly researched study traces the historical evolution of Chinese communities in Britain during this period, revealing their significance in the development of race as a category in British culture, law, and politics. 284 pp. Englisch.…
