The European Left and the Jewish Question, 1848-1992
This book examines how left-wing political and cultural movements in Western Europe have considered Jews in the last two hundred years. The chapters seek to answer the following question: has there been a specific way in which the Left has considered Jewish minorities? The subject has taken various shapes in the different geographical contexts, influenced by national specificities. In tandem, this volume demonstrates the extent to which left-wing movements share common trends drawn from a collective repertoire of representations and meanings. Highlighting the different aspects of the subject matter, the chapters in this book are divided in three parts, each dedicated to a major theme: the contribution of the theorists of Socialism to the Jewish Question; Antisemitism and its representations in left-wing culture; and the perception of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Taken together, these three themes allow for a multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between the Left and Jews from the second half of the nineteenth century to recent times.
A Revolution in Taste
This book traces the development of modern French habits of cooking, eating, and drinking from their roots in the Ancien Regime.

Weinstein highlights how the German propaganda ministry used directives, pre- and post-production censorship, financial incentives, and influence over film critics and their judgments to replace Jewish "wit" with a slower, simpler, and more d...

Ensayos semióticos
En 2002, un grupo de profesores de semiótica del departamento de Humanidades de la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano empezó a conformar un grupo de estudio dedicado a analizar diferentes facetas de la denominada ciencia de los signos . Las diferentes discusiones que allí se presentaron, en un principio de orden pedagógico siempre apremiantes al interior de una institución educativa y de unidad de lecturas en las asignaturas, llevaron a la decisión de traducir el Manual de semiótica general de Jean Marie Klinkenberg (2006); pero, además, dieron origen a la idea de sacar a la luz pública algunas de las reflexiones que, desde diferentes miradas e intereses, allí se tenían. El presente volumen es el primer resultado de esa idea germinal y con él se inaugura la Colección semiótica , que se encargará de publicar ensayos originales y traducciones de autores reconocidos en el ámbito internacional, sobre los problemas, que puedan constituirse en un aporte a los estudios semióticos.
