Education, Inclusion, Pluralism and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals : A Case Study of the Cultural Politics of Postcolonial Pakistan /
:
This book offers a compelling analysis of education's promise to achieve inclusive, pluralistic and sustainable societies. These globally shared challenges are examined through a detailed analysis of the cultural politics of education in postcolonial Pakistan. The analysis provides a window into the ways that the intergenerational traumas of colonialism, neocolonialism, globalisation and forms of extremism continue to present significant challenges for postcolonial Pakistan. Drawing on postcolonial theories and curriculum theory, the author develops a critical discourse analysis of the cultural politics that shapes education in Pakistan. The analysis identifies key elements of this cultural politics such as religious and cultural dynamics, geopolitical challenges, the need to promote unity and cohesion, employing history for nation-building, and gender relations, and the ways in which these elements intersect to shape the possibilities of delivering on the promise of inclusion, pluralism and sustainable development.

Philosophia Translata: The Development of Latin Philosophical Vocabulary through Translation from Greek : A Case Study Approach /
:
How Latin philosophical vocabulary developed through the translation of Greek sources, the varieties of translation practices Roman philosophers favoured, and how these practices evolved over time are the overarching themes of this monograph. A first of its kind, this comparative study analyzes the creation of philosophical vocabulary in Lucretius, Cicero, Apuleius, Calcidius, and Boethius. It highlights a Latin literary tradition in which the dominance of Greek philosophical expression was challenged and renovated over time through the individual translation choices of different Latin authors. Included are full glossaries of Latin and Greek philosophical terms with explanatory notes for the reader.

The Legacy of the Wimbledon Case : Centenary of the First Judgment of the Permanent Court of International Justice /
:
The book addresses the impact of the first judgment of the 'World Court' on the development of international law and its continuing relevance. The contributions to this book discuss the legal issues decided by the PCIJ in the Wimbledon case. In the Wimbledon judgment, the Court referred to the problems that are still important both for procedural and substantive international law, and which attract the attention of states, courts and the academia today. These include: state sovereignty, sources of international law, interpretation of legal rights and obligations following from treaties and custom, 'objective regimes', 'self-contained regimes', neutrality in armed conflicts, the status of international waterways, as well as the issues of jurisdiction such as third-party participation in international adjudication, or locus standi for the protection of community interests.

The mission of development : religion and techno-politics in Asia /
:
The Mission of Development interrogates the complex relationships between Christian mission and international development in Asia from the 19th century to the new millennium. Through historically and ethnographically grounded case studies, contributors examine how missionaries have adapted to and shaped the age of development and processes of 'technocratisation', as well as how mission and development have sometimes come to be cast in opposition. The volume takes up an increasingly prominent strand in contemporary research that reverses the prior occlusion of the entanglements between religion and development. It breaks new ground through its analysis of the techno-politics of both development and mission, and by focusing on the importance of engagements and encounters in the field in Asia.

Indigenous Knowledge Systems : Towards a Holistic Inclusive Conservation /
:
Although there has been, in recent times, a widespread interest in preservation and promotion of Indigenous Heritage or Knowledge Systems from a variety of disciplines and sectors, from across the globe - the design principles or modalities of a holistic conservation remains largely unexplored. This volume explores this lacunae and proposes the concept of Ecosemiotic Community Museuology (ECM), and a road map for it, through theory and practice. Based on the trajectories of conservation - natural, cultural and museological - down time, and indigenous epistemological premises brought forth from previous research, the treatise proposes the concept of ECM as a paradigm for successful community-based conservation of indigenous knowledge systems or indigenous biocultural heritage in its holistic wholeness. While taking into cognizance the issues of interfacing - namely, cross-cultural knowledge integration, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), the volume attempts to add value to its basic ecosemiotic museological proposition, and strengthen its case, through presentation of, and comments on, a diverse range of secondary case studies of ongoing conservational initiatives from across the globe that highlight the ingredients of success as well as non-performance of such efforts. The ultimate goal of the historical surveys, intellectual exercises and the case studies in this volume are to capture the nuances that can help decolonize not just 'museology' or 'conservation' but 'development' and 'sustainability' itself. And, hopefully, help make advances towards a decentralized museological governance for the invaluable indigenous biocultural heritage that still lies strewn across the globe, in various stages of decimation.

Framing Classical Reception Studies : Different Perspectives on a Developing Field /
:
Framing Classical Reception Studies contains a representative number of analytic and synthetic contributions by scholars from diverse parts of the field of Classical Reception Studies. Together, they afford a synoptic view and typology of an extremely large and continuously diversifying discipline. Attentive to questions such as what, by whom, in what contexts and to what ends Classics have functioned and are functioning in our culture, all contributors ask themselves from what conceptual or disciplinary frame they approach the reception of the cultures of classical Greek and Roman antiquity. Within this questioning format, the book also contains suggestions for future agendas of research, and forcefully argues for the political, cultural and cognitive relevance of classical receptions in the Academy.
