representations of the body in middle english biblical drama combines epistemological enquiry, gender theory and foucauldian concepts to investigate the body as a useful site for studying power, knowledge and truth. intertwining the conceptualizations of violence and the performativity of gender identity and roles, estella ciobanu argues that studying violence in drama affords insights into the cultural and social aspects of the later middle ages. the text investigates these biblical plays through the perspective of the devil and offers a unique lens that exposes medieval disquiets about christian teachings and the discourse of power. through detailed primary source analysis and multidisciplinary scholarship, ciobanu constructs a text that interrogates the significance of performance far beyond the stage.
(来源indiebound) (2)the battle of leyte gulf was the greatest naval engagement in history. the battle was four separate actions, none of which were fought in the gulf itself, and the result was the destruction of japanese naval power in the pacific. this book is a detailed and comprehensive account of the fighting from both sides. it provides the context of the battle, most obviously in terms of japanese calculations and the search for "a fitting place to die" and "the chance to bloom as flowers of death." using japanese material never previously noted in western accounts, h. p. willmott provides new perspectives on the unfolding of the battle and very deliberately seeks to give readers a proper understanding of the importance of this battle for american naval operations in the following month. this careful interrogation of the accounts of "the last fleet action" is a significant contribution to military history.
