‘A profound meditation on forgiveness and forgetting . . . Dao’s extraordinary debut novel combines fiction and history to chronicle his Vietnamese grandparents’ traumatic life.’ – The Observer Moving from 1930s Hanoi through wars and displacements to Saigon, Paris, Melbourne and Cambridge, a deeply moving novel of memory and inheritance, colonialism and belonging, exile and home. Born to a Vietnamese family based in Melbourne, the narrator is haunted by the story of his grandfather whose ten-year imprisonment by the Communist government in Vietnam’s notorious Chi Hoa prison looms large over his own place in the world and his choice to become a human rights lawyer. As he oscillat...
Children’s Voices from the Past
This book explores a central methodological issue at the heart of studies of the histories of children and childhood. It questions how we understand the perspectives of children in the past, and not just those of the adults who often defined and constrained the parameters of youthful lives. Drawing on a range of different sources, including institutional records, interviews, artwork, diaries, letters, memoirs, and objects, this interdisciplinary volume uncovers the voices of historical children, and discusses the challenges of situating these voices, and interpreting juvenile agency and desire. Divided into four sections, the book considers children's voices in different types of historical records, examining children's letters and correspondence, as well as multimedia texts such as film, advertising and art, along with oral histories, and institutional archives.

Rhetorics of Nepantla, Memory, and the Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa Papers
Rhetorics of Nepantla, Memory, and the Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa Papers: Archival Impulses explores the intersection of Chicana/o/x studies, Latina/o/x studies, archival studies, and public memory by examining the archival homes of cultural critic Gloria Anzaldúa. This book illustrates how her archive mirrors her philosophy of theories of the flesh and contains objects that, when placed together by the rhetor, perform the embodied ways of knowing of which she writes. Anzaldúa’s archive is a generative space that requires a rhetorical perspective that is expansive, intersectional, and flexible enough to handle interactions between the objects found within and across archives. This book ...
Book of the Dead
"One of cinema's most enduring monsters, the zombie has been terrifying audiences around the world for decades. Book of the Dead charts the ghoulish history of zombie cinema, from the creature's origins in Haitian voodoo and its cinematic debut in 1932's White Zombie, right up to recent blockbuster hits like 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead and Land of the Dead." "Covering hundreds of movies from America, Europe and Asia, this exhaustive history chronicles the zombie's on-screen evolution from Caribbean bogeyman to flesh-eating corpse. Along the way, Book of the Dead takes in Bela Lugosi B-movies, Italian gore films, blind monk zombies, shot-on-video backyard epics, all-time classics such as I Walked with a Zombie, Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, and the videogame phenomenon of Resident Evil." "Complete with hundreds of stills and artwork including 64 pages of colour illustrations, and an exhaustive filmography, Book of the Dead explains why we continue to be so fascinated by these fugitives from the undertaker."--BOOK JACKET.

Spracheinstellungen und Identitätskonstruktion
Die Untersuchung von Spracheinstellungen zu Mehrsprachigkeit, wie sie etwa in sprachbiographischen Interviews geäußert werden, erfolgt meist über inhaltsanalytische Zugänge. Die vorliegende Arbeit fasst jedoch Spracheinstellungsäußerungen als für den spezifischen Erhebungskontext des Interviews hervorgebrachte Gesprächsbeiträge, die entsprechend gesprächsanalytisch auszuwerten sind (z.B. Bearbeitung der kommunikativen Aufgaben in einem qualitativen Interview, Rezipientenzuschnitt der Gesprächsbeiträge der Interviewten). Die Arbeit widmet sich auf Basis eines Korpus von 14 sprachbiographischen Interviews außerdem der Frage, wie sich die interviewten Deutsch-VietnamesInnen – ein...

Blockchain and Private International Law
The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Blockchain is the first global mechanism for the transfer and storage of value. Despite being conceived as an alternative to state and law, the technology and its use cases raise many legal questions, most notably, regarding jurisdiction and applicable law with respect to transactions and assets recorded on the blockchain. The issue is complex given the decentralised nature of the network. In this volume, academics and practitioners from various countries try to provide detailed answers to these questions as they relate to crypto-assets, cryptocurrencies, crypto derivatives,...
Empire and Politics in the Eastern and Western Civilizations
The volume includes the proceedings of the 2nd Roma Sinica project conference held in Seoul in September 2019 and aims to compare some features of the ancient political thought in the Western classical tradition and in the Eastern ancient thought. The contributors, coming from Korea, Europe, USA, China, Japan, propose new patterns of interpretation of the mutual interactions and proximities between these two cultural worlds and offer also a perspective of continuity between contemporary and ancient political thought. Therefore, this book is a reference place in the context of the comparative research between Roman (and early Greek thought) and Eastern thought. Researchers interested in Cicero, Seneca, Plato, post-Platonic and post Aristotelic philosophical schools, history, ancient Roman and Chinese languages could find interesting materials in this work.
