Seven of the most interesting and problematic \u003ci\u003enouvelles\u003c\/i\u003e have been selected for this study. All represent some measure of manipulation and\/or deceit, involving either an attempt to subvert authority, to reestablish control, or to create a new alliance, and thus all carry a certain political resonance. The intent of the study is to provide an open-ended and open-minded reading for each of the seven \u003ci\u003enouvelles.\u003c\/i\u003e The conclusion seeks to identify several of the most prominent unifying patterns.","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236513337688,"sku":"9780761825630","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761825630_ee8550cc-88e8-46d6-b3fe-d5fcc4cedf50.jpg?v=1778568342","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/displacements-of-power","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
