Sinopse

Victory Celebrations explores the profound role of societal celebrations, from sports championships to the end of wars, as powerful social rituals. These collective displays of joy are not mere outbursts but reflections of deeply ingrained cultural values and shapers of collective identity. Examining these celebrations offers insight into how societies reinforce social bonds and transmit cultural narratives. For instance, victory celebrations can solidify a new social order after political revolutions. The book delves into the historical evolution of these practices, revealing how religion, politics, and social structures have shaped celebratory rituals over time. It offers a structured approach, starting with the psychological and sociological underpinnings of victory celebrations. It progresses from examining sports, where celebrations reflect national identity, to exploring the complex emotions surrounding the end of conflicts and the ideals promoted by freedom movements. By analyzing a diverse range of historical accounts, sociological studies, and media analysis, Victory Celebrations challenges the conventional view of celebrations as superficial occurrences. It positions them as essential tools through which societies define themselves, highlighting their impact on political outcomes and their potential for both inclusion and exclusion. This interdisciplinary approach makes it uniquely valuable for understanding the hidden meanings and social functions of victory celebrations.

Balkans The: A Captivating Guide...

Captivating History

Did you know that the Balkans is home to some of the oldest cities in the world?
Many have heard the term “Balkans” tossed about but likely don’t know a whole lot about the region. The saga of the Balkans is profound yet incredibly complicated. Bordered by both the Balkan Mountains of southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, this region holds a strong place in the history of Western civilization and is also a major crossroads of Eastern civilization as well.
The Balkans have been the stomping grounds of both Byzantine emperors and Ottoman sultans. And both Christianity and Islam call this place home. Sadly, it was this clash of culture and religion that would lead to much of the struggles in the history of the Balkans.
Similar fault lines of conflict occurred in more recent years, especially when the Balkans erupted in bloodshed in the 1990s. The Balkans had just thrown off the fetters of decades of communism to embrace an uncertain future, only to be haunted by terrible demons from its past.
This audiobook takes a look at both the ancient past of this important part of the world, as well as more recent events.
In this audiobook, you will learn about:The people who first called the Balkans home;The role and impact Alexander the Great had on the region;What life was like for the people of the Balkans during the Roman and Byzantine Empires;What changes did the Ottoman administration bring to the Balkans;The interesting roles the Balkans played during the two world wars;How communism penetrated into the Balkans and its influence today;What the Balkan states have been up to in more recent years;And much more!
