Il libro liturgico è un’opera sui generis, nel senso che i testi ivi racchiusi non appartengono ad un solo Autore – quasi sempre sconosciuto –, ma sono la risultante di numerosi elementi costituiti essenzialmente dall’intreccio di tre ambiti: da una parte la sorgente ispiratrice offerta dalla Sacra Scrittura che nella liturgia rinasce come Parola viva trasformandosi in preghiera; dall’altra la sensibilità e preparazione teologico-liturgica di coloro che hanno predisposto i testi da proclamare nella celebrazione; infine dall’orizzonte culturale in cui un determinato testo è stato pensato e poi affidato ad espressioni linguistiche latine. La collana che ospita la presente opera ha come titolo „Fontes scrutari”: un titolo che ci sembra esprimere al meglio non solo i risultati di un accostamento alle fonti, ma soprattutto un invito a proseguire nel cammino di ricerca. Continuerà ad avvantaggiarsene la storia del libro liturgico, che – in definitiva – è la risultante di una storia vissuta di fedeli e soprattutto di comunità di credenti in cammino nel tempo.
Between 1981 and 1989 in Wroclaw Poland, in an atmosphere in which dissent was forbidden and martial law a reality, the art-activist Orange Alternative movement developed and deployed their 'socialist sur-realism' in absurd street-painting and large-scale performances comprising tens of thousands of people dressed as dwarves, in an effort to destabilize the Communist government. It worked. Beginning with the 'dialectical painting' of dwarves onto the patches of white paint all over the city's walls, which uncannily marked the censorship of opposition slogans, the group moved on to both stage happenings and over-enthusiastically embrace official Soviet festivals in a way that transformed both...
As the first examination of women's foremost contributions to Jerzy Grotowski's cross-cultural investigation of performance, this book complements and broadens existing literature by offering a more diverse and inclusive re-assessment of Grotowski's legacy, thereby probing its significance for contemporary performance practice and research. Although the particularly strenuous physical training emblematic of Grotowski's approach is not gender specific, it has historically been associated with a masculine conception of the performer incarnated by Ryszard Cieslak in The Constant Prince, thus overlooking the work of Rena Mirecka, Maja Komorowska, and Elizabeth Albahaca, to name only the leading ...
Drawing from engrossing survivors' accounts, many never before published, The Minsk Ghetto 1941-1943 recounts a heroic yet little-known chapter in Holocaust history. In vivid and moving detail, Barbara Epstein chronicles the history of a Communist-led resistance movement inside the Minsk ghetto, which, through its links to its Belarussian counterpart outside the ghetto and with help from others, enabled thousands of ghetto Jews to flee to the surrounding forests where they joined partisan units fighting the Germans. Telling a story that stands in stark contrast to what transpired across much of Eastern Europe, where Jews found few reliable allies in the face of the Nazi threat, this book cap...
