Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A satirical poem about the rivalry of various fruits becomes a point of departure for investigations of tolerance and identity in a pluralistic world.A satirical poem about the rivalry of various fruits becomes a point of departure for investigations of tolerance and identity in a pluralistic world.The Contest of the Fruits takes a nineteenth-century Uyghur satirical poem as a departure point for investigations of language, politics, religion, humor, resilience, and resistance in a pluralistic world. Composed at the crossroads of multiple civilizations and empires and born of the Uyghurs' liminal position at the edges of Islam and the frontiers of China, "The Contest of the Fruits" captures a world in which borders are gateways rather than dividing lines. The poem, highly performative, embellished with verbal flourishes, and featuring the ribald rivalry of such fruits as mulberry, pomegranate, quince, and pear, may be the first Turkic rap battle.The book, which accompanies a project by the art collective Slavs and Tatars, brings together artists, academics, poets, and performers to create a visually compelling volume that deploys different registers (high and low) to examine subjects often considered mutually exclusive (for example, religion and hip-hop). It offers essays by leading scholars and journalists that cover topics ranging from language politics to the prominence of Uyghur rappers in China. Shorter "pop-out" texts take a more tentacular approach to Uyghur culture, sampling poetry by diaspora Uyghur poets and discussing such subjects as calligraphy, Uyghur pop music, m shr p, and the Sufi practice of Samac.Copublished with Haverford College Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: Like New. We tend to imagine sounds as naturally housed by letters of an alphabet. But sometimes the shapes given to sounds can be more like a prison than a place to call home. Between 1927 and 1991, the languages of 25 million peoples in the Soviet empire changed alphabets once, twice, and sometimes even three times. An interactive musical sound book, Azbuka Strikes Back offers kids and adults alike a whirlwind tour of ABCs and anticolonialism in the former Soviet sphere. Boulkroun, Amine (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu -Das international anerkannte Künstlerkollektiv Slavs and Tatars widmet sich dem als Eurasien bekannten Gebiet von der ehemaligen Berliner Mauer bis zur Chinesischen Mauer. Als »Archäologen des Alltäglichen«, wie sie sich nennen, beschäftigt sie das Zusammenspiel von Religion, Macht, Sprache und Identität. In Büchern, Ausstellungen und Performances untersuchen sie Mentalitäten, Mythen, Traditionen und Übergänge und kombinieren wissenschaftliche Forschung mit Polemik und schlichtem Humor. Wripped Scripped führt die Untersuchung des Kollektivs von Alphabeten als politische und affektbetonte Plattform fort. Während die Einführung neuer Alphabete oftmals mit dem Aufstieg und Fall von Imperien einherging, sind die Künstler weniger mit der Befreiung von Völkern und Nationen als der von Klängen und Buchstaben befasst. Das Buch befasst sich unter anderem mit dem Phonem [kh] als heiligem Laut im hebräischen, arabischen und kyrillischen Alphabet, der Beziehung Deutschlands zum Orientalismus mittels des Tetragraphen [dsch] und dem Zusammenhang von nasalen Phonemen und der Konstruktion polnischer und türkischer Identitäten. (Text dt., engl.) 152 pp. Deutsch, Englisch.…
