Echoes of Authenticity in the Voices of Belfast

This book dives deep into the heart of Belfast, a city of contrasts and resilience. In this exploration, tales of real experiences and threads of imagination are woven together. From Angela’s struggles in a city where faces like hers are rare, to Amina’s hope for her children’s future and the Chinese family confronting prejudice, each story paints a vivid portrait of life in this ever-evolving city. The book takes a journey through encounters with love, conflict, acceptance, and the relentless spirit of the people who call Belfast home. Whether you’re a local seeking to understand your city’s layered tapestry or a newcomer eager to grasp Belfast’s essence, this book offers a poignant, honest gaze into its soul.

Vi è un legame molto forte tra i miei quadri e i miei componimenti. I brevi pensieri che trovate in questo libro sono le immagini, le metafore delle mie emozioni: i sentimenti si rivelano in rappresentazioni visive che scelgono parole per spiegarsi e dire ciò che sento e come il mondo si rivela ai miei occhi. I vocaboli che emergono lentamente dal mio inconscio, che gocciano dalle immagini, sono riportati sulla carta fedelmente ed esprimono completamente e profondamente il mio sentito. Il mondo e il mio animo si spiegano a me in gocce di pensiero, che ho qui raccolto. Ogni goccia è la scheggia, il frammento di un tempo ed un’emozione passata che non ritorna ma forma chi sono e chi sono stata. Ogni memoria è un’onda che bagna il mio corpo e la mia anima modificandoli con il suo movimento e il suo tocco del passato che diviene presente in un moto perpetuo.

Sono momenti cristallizzati, uno ogni ora segna lo scandire del tempo nelle sensazioni che vivificano corpo e mente. Luoghi e spazi dell'anima e della mente, immagini che si dilatano e che sembrano uscire da un dipinto di Van Gogh. Un viaggio interiore: sensazioni e ricordi, luce ed ombra, ritmo incalzante. Maria-Luisa Mylchreest (Open University) "Schegge di un libro" è un volo notturno verso il basso. Una corsa spettrale con il preciso intento di perdersi dentro di sé. Barbara scivola come piombo fuso tra paesaggi desertici affollati di mostri, ricordi, domande e incertezze. Il bisogno di introspezione viene esaltato da squarci di pensieri che puntano l'anima come farebbe un faro teatral...

The Space of Memory

“In 2000, two linguistic endangerment experts, Nettle and Romaine, estimated that among the world’s 6000 languages, only about 600 could be considered safe today. Arbëresh, the language that Barbara Renzi and Elsa Musacchio present to the readers in this volume, is one of those languages in danger of dying, recognized as such in UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger (2010). The great value of this volume is not limited to the preservation and analysis of cultural heritage through the tales, stories and songs included in it, but also in recording the authentic sound of the Arbëresh language that comes to life in Elsa’s voice as she reads the collected material on a special CD. The availability of this authentic voice to future generations of younger speakers of Arbëresh makes the volume a practical linguistic and cultural tool. And the best service we can pay to courageous works like this is to bring them to young speakers in their schools, without which Arbëresh and other endangered languages have a very small chance of survival.” – Eda Derhemi (PhD), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

“Immediatamente salta all’occhio un fatto: quelli di Barbara non sono semplici racconti, bensì fiabe […] A volte, è come venir colpiti da un raggio di sole troppo invadente dritto in faccia, puro e onesto, caparbio. Impossibile da ignorare. Altre, è una carezza a toccare, non per forza innocente però delicata.” (Johanna Finocchiaro, scrittrice). “La scrittrice con leggerezza (quasi sembra di volare, come nei quadri di Chagall) trasporta chi legge in un'atmosfera sfumata, un paesaggio da fiaba avvolto in una sottile nebbia, dove tutto è possibile nel campo dei sentimenti e delle emozioni.” (Chiara Rantini, scrittrice

Un nuevo caso para el inspector Oscar De Santis, convertido en comisario, y la patóloga Penélope D'Alessio, en el que tendrán que enfrentarse a un atroz asesino que se remonta a la secta satánica de Asmodeo, el dios de las tinieblas. Las víctimas son tres novicias a punto de consagrar su existencia a Dios, que desaparecen repentinamente del convento de Santa Maria in Aracoeli, para reaparecer como cadáveres abandonados encerrados en anónimas bolsas negras de plástico. Ayuda a Oscar De Santis en la investigación, una vez más, la escritora Sofie Floren, que ya se ocupó del asesino en el pasado, cuando la primera víctima, una novicia del orfanato de Marcigliana, fue encontrada en una zanja, torturada y brutalmente asesinada tras asistir a una misa negra, y sobre la que escribió un thriller. Pero Sofie Floren parece esconder otro secreto entre las páginas de su thriller, que Oscar está decidido a sacar a la luz.

Friends and Foes Volume I

  • Categories: Art

The product of an international, multi-disciplinary conference at Queen’s University Belfast, the two-volume Friends and Foes series offers an illuminating investigation of the relationship between friendship and conflict by established and emerging scholars. In this first volume, which collects together philosophical and cultural essays on the topic, the authors raise and tackle some of the most pertinent issues central to the understanding, and making, of friendship. What constitutes friendship? What challenges, duties and pleasures does friendship entail? The ambiguity of friendship is a recurring theme in the book, and Mark Vernon’s essay on the philosophical history of thinking about friendship’s ambiguity provides the perfect point of entry for discussion of the compelling literary and theatrical representations which follow, in the work of writers such as Maria Edgeworth, Gregory Burke, and Edgar Allan Poe.

Evolutionary Analogies

“Advocates of the evolutionary analogy claim that mechanisms governing scientific change are analogous to those at work in organic evolution – above all, natural selection. By referring to the works of the most influential proponents of evolutionary analogies (Toulmin, Campbell, Hull and, most notably, Kuhn) the authors discuss whether and to what extent their use of the analogy is appropriate. A careful and often illuminating perusal of the theoretical scope of the terms employed, as well as of the varying contexts within which the analogy is appealed to in contemporary debates, leads to the conclusion that such general theories of selective processes are either too sketchy or eventuall...
