Despite their points of interconnectedness--culture, memory, and identity--the interactions between the two groups have been historically complex.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMemory, Identity, Encounter\u003c\/i\u003e examines the history of Ukrainian-Jewish interactions by highlighting encounters in daily life, in cultural contexts, and in episodes of violence over a period of two hundred years. The book explores the ways in which the Jewish and non-Jewish peoples of present-day Ukraine have sought to define and articulate their identities--both as inhabitants of Ukraine and in response to current events and challenges--while also remaining rooted in their own unique rituals and traditions. With new research on the evolving field of Ukrainian-Jewish relations, this book is a focused exploration of universal issues of cultural memory, national and individual identity, and the cultural implications of encounter. Featuring one hundred color images, this text is presented in tandem with an exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571297493265,"sku":"GOR007660488","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763364139281,"sku":"CIN0870700405G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870700405.jpg?v=1751201954"},{"product_id":"present-tense-photographs-by-joann-verburg-book-susan-kismaric-9780870707155","title":"Present Tense:Photographs by JoAnn Verburg","description":"Through such formal devices as series and multipanel works, JoAnn Verburg invigorates some of photography's common themes - the portrait, the landscape, the domestic view. Some of her work catches viewers off guard, leaving them unsure where they stand in relationship to the scene being shown; others play with the passage of time, offering narratives that play out in either space or time, or both, or neither. The intimate spaces of personal life are another of her ongoing themes, as shown in a series featuring her husband, the poet Jim Moore, reading newspapers or books, or sleeping. The unguarded intimacy of the image strikes one note here; the tension and reality of the current events featured on that day's newspaper strikes another, reaching out of the work into the world, expanding photography's space even further. Whether taking pictures of artists, swimmers, trees or pyramids constructed from sand,Verburg deftly pushes at the boundaries of the representation of time and space.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50000624779537,"sku":"GOR013833321","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50365547610385,"sku":"CIN0870707159G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870707159.jpg?v=1750883454"},{"product_id":"british-photography-from-the-thatcher-years-book-susan-kismaric-9780870701917","title":"British Photography from the Thatcher Years","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50694132039953,"sku":"GOR004880158","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50716682518801,"sku":"GOR014046515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51112659681553,"sku":"GOR009242053","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0870701916.jpg?v=1750980344"},{"product_id":"manuel-alvarez-bravo-book-susan-kismaric-9780870701337","title":"Manuel Alvarez Bravo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSensibility in the Early Modern Era\u003c\/em\u003e investigates how the early modern characterisation of sensibility as a natural property of the body could give way to complex considerations about the importance of affect in morality. What underlies this understanding of sensibility is the attempt to fuse Lockean sensationism with Scottish sentimentalism - being able to have experiences of objects in the world is here seen as being grounded in the same principle that also enables us to feel moral sentiments. Moral and epistemic ways of relating to the world thus blend into one another, as both can be traced to the same capacity that enables us to affectively respond to stimuli that impinge on our perceptual apparatus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection focuses on these connections by offering reflections on the role of sensibility in the early modern attempt to think of the human being as a special kind of sensitive machine and affectively responsive animal. Humans, as they are understood in this context, relate to themselves by sensing themselves and perpetually refining their intellectual and moral capacities in response to the way the world affects them. Responding to the world here refers to the manner in which both natural\u0026gt;\u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e man-made influences impact on our ability to conceptualise the animate and inanimate world, and our place within that world.
