Women and Gender in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia
This is the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and multilingual bibliography on "Women and Gender in East Central Europe and the Balkans (Vol. 1)" and "The Lands of the Former Soviet Union (Vol. 2)" over the past millennium. The coverage encompasses the relevant territories of the Russian, Hapsburg, and Ottoman empires, Germany and Greece, and the Jewish and Roma diasporas. Topics range from legal status and marital customs to economic participation and gender roles, plus unparalleled documentation of women writers and artists, and autobiographical works of all kinds. The volumes include approximately 30,000 bibliographic entries on works published through the end of 2000, as well as web sites and unpublished dissertations. Many of the individual entries are annotated with brief descriptions of major works and the tables of contents for collections and anthologies. The entries are cross-referenced and each volume includes indexes.
She Animates
She Animates examines the work of twelve female animation directors in the Soviet Union and Russia, who have long been overlooked by film scholars and historians. Our approach examines these directors within history, culture, and industrial practice in animation. In addition to making a case for including these women and their work in the annals of film and animation history, this volume also makes an argument for why their work should be considered part of the tradition of women’s cinema. We offer textual analysis that focuses on the changing attitudes towards both the woman question and feminism by examining the films in light of the emergence and evolution of a Soviet female subjectivity that still informs women’s cinema in Russia today.
Revolutionary Women in Russia, 1870-1917
This study is available in paperback for the first time. At no time in Northern Ireland's history did so many significant political initiatives occur as between 1972 and 1975, the most violent and polarised years of the region's conflict. Using archival sources, this book analyses the political events and processes that informed the British government's Northern Ireland policy at the time, the complex interactions between Northern Ireland political parties, and the importance of the British-Irish diplomatic relationship to the search for a solution to the Northern Ireland conflict.Focusing on the rise and fall of the power-sharing Executive and the Sunningdale Agreement, the book challenges a number of persistent myths, including those concerning the role of the Irish government in the Northern Ireland conflict. It contests the notion that the years 1972 to 1975 represent a 'lost peace process', but demonstrates that the policies established during this period provided the template for Northern Ireland's current, ongoing peace settlement.

Performing Russia
This book examines folk music and dance revival movements in Russia showing how folk 'tradition' in Russia is an artificial cultural construct, which is periodically reinvented.
Scenarios of Power
This new and abridged edition of Scenarios of Power is a concise version of Richard Wortman's award-winning study of Russian monarchy from the seventeenth century until 1917. The author breaks new ground by showing how imperial ceremony and imagery were not simply displays of the majesty of the sovereign and his entourage, but also instruments central to the exercise of absolute power in a multinational empire. In developing this interpretation, Wortman presents vivid descriptions of coronations, funerals, parades, trips through the realm, and historical celebrations and reveals how these ceremonies were constructed or reconstructed to fit the political and cultural narratives in the lives and reigns of successive tsars. He describes the upbringing of the heirs as well as their roles in these narratives and relates their experiences to the persistence of absolute monarchy in Russia long after its demise in Europe.
Engendering Slavic Literatures
Engendering Slavic Literatures breaks new ground in its investigation of gender and feminist issues in Croatian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian literary texts by both female and male writers. Drawing on psychoanalytic approaches, film theory, and lesbian and gender theory, the authors interrogate the received notions of Western gender studies to see which can be usefully applied to nineteenth- and twentieth-century Slavic literary works. Motherhood and the relationships of mothers and daughters; the myths of selfhood that shape the autobiographies of Nadezhda Mandel'shtam, Marina Tsvetaeva, Lidiia Ginzburg, and Lev Tolstoy; Polish Catholicism and sexuality; portrayals of landscape in verbal and visual art; and women writers' transgressive ventures into male bastions such as the love lyric and prose fiction are among the themes of this important and innovative volume.

ORBIS ROMANVS
ORBIS ROMANVS je djelo udžbeničkog karaktera, čiji je nastanak uzrokovala potreba za jednim svestranim radom na bosansko – hrvatskom – srpskom jeziku, koji bi prikazao rimski svijet i njegovu civilizaciju, posebnu u njenom klasičnom periodu. To je podrazumijevalo da se historija starog Rima i zemalja kojima je dominirao ne promatra samo kroz vizuru političke i vojne povijesti, što je uglavnom najčešća pojava u općoj historiografiji. Udžbenik je zato i koncipiran da čitalac u sebi razvije misao da je rimski pronalazak betona značajniji za čovječanstvo nego što su to bile mnoge bitke u kojima je trijumfiralo rimsko oružje. Uz to, intencija udžbenika je i da razbije uvrije...
Stalins datter
Stalins datter er en biografi om Svetlana Allilujeva - en kvinne som var tvunget til å leve sitt liv i skyggen av sin far og en av verdens mest monstrøse diktatorer: Josef Stalin. På bakgrunn av dokumenter fra KGB, CIA og historiske sovjetiske arkiver - og i tett samarbeid med Svetlanas datter Olga - forteller den kanadiske forfatteren Rosemary Sullivan historien om Svetlanas smertelige liv. Det er en menneskelig og psykologisk intelligent historie om en verdenshistorisk kvinneskjebne, som åpner opp til en brutal, kynisk og lukket verden med en enorm fascinasjonskraft. «Historien om Stalins datter er historien om ømhet og kjærlighet, frykt og fortielser, hemmeligheter og løgner.» Berlingske Tidende «... en biografi som er langt mer spennende og overraskende enn noen psykologisk thriller.» Per Egil Hegge
