Literary Voices of the Italian Diaspora in Britain
This volume studies the literary voices of the Italian diaspora in Britain, including 21 authors and 34 pieces of prose, verse, and drama. This book shows how authors both recount the history of the migrant community in the period 1880-1980 while creatively experimenting with hybrid forms of expression and blending words with visuals. Literary Voices of the Italian Diaspora in Britain discusses topical issues like migration and social integration, cultures and foods in transition, as well as plurilingualism. The book pays special attention to discussions of the horrors of the Second World War – especially on the tragedy of the Arandora Star (2nd July 1940) – to show this literary community’s political commitments. More importantly, it will begin to fill the void left by a critical tradition which has only appreciated the northern American and Australian branches of Italian writing.
Per Scribendum, Sumus
Mair'ead Nic Craith's has sought to integrate critical heritage studies, cultural history, literature and folklore into a creative ethnology. Issues of community and place, memory and nostalgia are key themes in her work. The tensions around forms, definitions and uses of heritage are picked up in the contributions to this book. Research essays engage with the wide range of topics Mair'ead has explored. Other contributions note her support and mentoring or illustrate the author's appreciation of her work through prose, music and artistic representations. Ullrich Kockel teaches at Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, the Latvian Academy of Culture and Vytautas Magnus University Kaunas. He is Emeritus Professor of Ethnology at Ulster University, a Member of the Royal Irish Academy, and Mair'ead's anam cara.
Heimatkunde
An integrative Heimatkunde defined as the holistic study of localities and regions has been a core interest in Ullrich (aka Ulli) Kockels research since he first graduated with a double primary in 1984. Frequently described as an interdisciplinary and sometimes undisciplined academic, his research draws liberally on art, geography, human ecology, philosophical anthropology, political economy, and social anthropology, with its primary focus located in the field of Empirical Cultural Science / European ethnology. The contributions to this collection celebrate Ullis explorations of place and belonging at different junctures on his quest for Heimatkunde. Laid out in four thematic sections Borders, Regions and Frontiers; Human Ecology; Creative Ethnology; and, Memories they feature creative work along with research essays. Given Ullis love of cooking and food, we describe our offering as a feast-script.

Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die maßgeblichen Werte, Normen und Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten. Dabei werden ethische Fragestellungen und Argumente praxisgerecht aufbereitet. Die Autoren und Autorinnen vermitteln fallbezogen Orientierungshilfen für wichtige Entscheidungssituationen wie Suizidalität, Zwangseinweisung und Zwangsbehandlung.
SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURITY AMONG THE TRIBAL IN NANDURBAR DISTRICT; ETHNOBOTANICAL APPROACHES
The decade of 1990s saw the debate surrounding the contraction of public distribution system (PDS) in India where economists and social scientists of various camps (in relation to their stands vis-à-vis the International Monetary Fund and World Bank policies) expressed their viewpoints in various journals, seminars and public meetings. It must be pointed out that political ideologies played a crucial role in determining the fate of Indian agriculture. The important areas which were touched during these discourses were: what one means by food adequate, level of malnutrition, role of State and market in food allocation and distribution, impact of trade liberalization on the Indian food market (including producers, sellers and consumers) etc. To summarize such a rich and enlightening discussion in a few words would be both difficult and impossible. However, certain elements could be pulled out and pondered upon to understand the politics of rights-based approach to food security.
