A9780271091587Hardback. New. Oil like other fossil fuels permeates every aspect of human existence. Yet it has been largely ignored by cultural critics especially in the context of the Global South. Seeking to make visible not only the pervasiveness of oil in society and culture but also its power Oil Fictions stages a critical intervention that aligns with the broader goals of the energy humanities. Exploring literature and film about petroleum as a genre of world literature Oil Fictions focuses on the ubiquity of oil as well as the cultural response to petroleum in postcolonial states. The chapters engage with African South American South Asian Iranian and transnational petrofictions and cover topics such as the relationship of colonialism to the fossil fuel economy issues of gender in the Thermocene epoch and discussions of migration precarious labor and the petro-diaspora. This unique exploration includes testimonies of the oil encounter-through memoirs journals and interviews-from a diverse geopolitical grid ranging from the Permian Basin to the Persian Gulf. By engaging with non-Western literary responses to petroleum in a concentrated sustained way this pathbreaking book illuminates the transnational dimensions of the discourse on oil. It will appeal to scholars and students working in literature and science studies energy humanities ecocriticism petrocriticism environmental humanities and Anthropocene studies. In addition to the editors the contributors to this volume include Henry Obi Ajumeze Rebecca Babcock Ashley Dawson Sharae Deckard Scott DeVries Kristen Figgins Amitav Ghosh Corbin Hiday Helen Kapstein Micheal Angelo Rumore Simon Ryle Sheena Stief Imre Szeman Maya Vinai and Wendy W.

18785190s.l.: s.n. 1878. Small broadside 185 x 250mm woodcut vignette below title text in two columns. Poor-quality paper chipped and somewhat toned a few tears touching title larger area of loss to one margin clear of text. A scarce and fragile broadside of patriotic doggerel to inspire Englishmen to ‘arrise sic with heart and hand And sweep the cowardly Russian bear from off the Turkish land.’ With reference to Crimean war battles at ‘Inkerman Sebastopool and Balaclava too’ it likely dates from the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-78 when British warships were sent through the Dardanelles to aid the city of Constantinople although the signing of the Treaty of San Stefano on March 3rd 1878 ended the conflict and obviated the cause for this ‘probable war’. Poorly-printed with numerous compositing errors on thin paper this is an unlikely survivor and we have not been able to trace any copies in any collections. Although last line present ends with a comma it seems a fitting finish so this is likely another typo rather than an indication of more text on another sheet. [s.n.] unknown

The contents of this book were originally prepared for publication in Belleten the Review of the Turkish Historical Society however the Turkish and Englih versions together exceeded the amount of space allowed for such articles. In this booklet the tablets excavated in Kültepe by this society between 1948 - 1954. Kültepe is the name of the modern village near the ancient city of Kane in central eastern Anatolia. Kültepe has been successfully excavated by the late Professor Tahsin Özgüç since 1948 until his death in 2005. The findings have included enormous numbers of baked clay tablets some that were enclosed in clay envelopes stamped using cylinder seals. The documents record common activities such as trade and legal arrangements. These Kültepe texts are the oldest written documents from Anatolia. Although they are written in Old Assyrian the Hittite loanwords and names in these texts are the oldest record of any Indo-European language. This was the personal copy of John Briggs Curtis the well-known scholar as indicated by stamp on front endpaper. Includes section in Turkish and in English.
