The Tyranny of Identity is both a personal and highly interdisciplinary examination of the wide range of factors and disciplines at play in the formation of identity. It takes a novel and unique approach to this through use of metaphor, images, poetry and a wide range of academic sources to provide a holistic approach to the study of identity. This book uses the concept of Babushka dolls to show that we all have a series of activities during our lives that reside in our mind, body, spirit – each influencing the multiple identities we knowingly or unknowingly possess. This collage of factors and forces allows us to create an identity. The layers of identity unfold as the chapters progress and in doing so the book addresses the manifold ways in which identity intersects with nationhood, politics, education, the culture wars, family, religion, gender and contemporary institutions. The Tyranny of Identity is a wide-ranging, cross-cultural book that integrates and explores how the issue of identity has become a central issue in every academic discipline. This book is essential reading to all students studying identity and all readers seeking a deeper understanding of this complex topic.
This investigation relies on a rash bet: to write the biography of two of the most famous statues in Antiquity, the Tyrannicides. Representing the murderers of the tyrant Hipparchus in full action, these statues erected on the Agora of Athens have been in turn worshipped, outraged, and imitated. They have known hours of glory and moments of hardships, which have transformed them into true icons of Athenian democracy. The subject of this book is the remarkable story of this group statue and the ever-changing significance of its tyrant-slaying subjects. The first part of this book, in six chapters, tells the story of the murder of Hipparchus and of the statues of the two tyrannicides from the end of the sixth century to the aftermath of the restoration of democracy in 403. The second part, in three chapters, chronicles the fate and influence of the statues from the fourth century to the end of the Roman Empire. These chapters are followed by an epilogue that reveals new life for the statues in modern art and culture, including how Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union made use of their iconography. By tracing the long trajectory of the tyrannicides-in deed and art-Azoulay provides a rich and fascinating microhistory that will be of interest to readers of classical art and history.
It was rumored that the Yun family's second young miss had attempted to assassinate the emperor many times in the dark of the night. The dragon robe was full of holes. It was rumored that An Yu had offended the second young lady, and more than 30 palace maids were executed one by one by the emperor of Wen Zhi. The fire raged for three consecutive days without extinguishing. Chief Eunuch Zhang said, "Your majesty, the second young miss is planning to assassinate you again today." The emperor said, "Very good, we can meet again today." Manager Zhang said, "Your majesty, the second lady was beaten up by General Yun. General Yun is still kneeling outside in the rain, begging for your life, Your Majesty." The Emperor said, "Bring the Imperial Advisor over here. Let the rain fall harder." She was once a fearful general who had done great deeds but was framed as a member of the Nine Nations. Returning with another face, he began his path to revenge. Who would have thought that the Emperor, who was known to be aloof and brutal, would come after her again? He asked, "I've killed her for you, why are you crying?" She raised her eyebrows and with an extremely cold expression, she lightly said: "Chenqie is extremely sad for being so happy, is that not okay?"
