Europe and Its Interior Other(s)

Who were and who are the European other(s), and how have their socio-cultural circumstances been aesthetically expressed and discussed in works of literature and art in European history? Members of the interdisciplinary group of researchers "The Borders of Europe" address these questions in this book and shed new light on the notion of European transnational identity, self-conscience and exclusion. Making a mental, space-time journey across and beyond internal and external borders of Europe - moving from medieval times to the present, from Istanbul to the northernmost tip of Norway - the authors show how the dangerous dynamics of othering, estrangement, intolerance and hatred have become an inherent part of the continent's history.

Iced

"You're lucky he didn't have an ice pick in his hands. I know how this guy performs." -Mobster Paul Volpe speaking about a Buffalo-mafia enforcer named "Cicci" Canada is lauded the world over as a law abiding, peaceful country - a shining example to all nations. Such a view, also shared by most Canadians, is typically naïve and misinformed. Throughout its history, to present day and beyond, Canada has been and will continue to be home to criminals and crime organizations that are brilliant at finding ways to make money - a lot of money - illegally. Iced: The Story of Organized Crime in Canada is a remarkable parallel history to the one generally accepted and taught in our schools. Organized...

La mémoire des mots

Ce livre raconte l’aventure unique d’une femme qui fait un pied de nez à l’oubli et à l’Alzheimer. Pendant plus de dix ans, elle élabore une stratégie instinctive et passionnée pour s’accrocher à la joie d’être présente en dépit de tout. À travers ses égarements, cette maman autodidacte apprend à son fils écrivain quelque chose d’essentiel sur le pouvoir des mots et sur le métier de vieillir. «En 1999, je commençais à prendre des notes à partir des propos de ma mère qui perdait de plus en plus ses repères. Au départ, je savais que sa vie allait lentement se vider d’elle-même. C’est un terrible chemin de croix. Mais je ne devinais en rien la profonde et salutaire communion qui nous attendait. Tout ce qui reste n’est pas destiné au vide ou à l’oubli.»

Simulatanément 3 femmes, la vénitienne Angélina, la grecque Elena et l'anglaise Ann, occuperont, à des d...
