What role has football (and sport in general) played in Hungarian foreign policy? Was there a continuity between the inter-war period and communism? Are foreign politics and sporting diplomacy synonyms? This book tries to provide answers to these questions through a careful examination of documents of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry and Hungarian newspapers, supplemented by documentation from several European countries. Through Hungarian football, the author traces a history of Hungary during the Age of Extremes with a special focus on the period during which sport played a particular role in Hungarian foreign policy: from 1924, the date of the Paris Olympics, the first time the country competed after World War I, to 1960, date of the Olympics of Rome. The result is a study from a particularly original perspective, highlighting, first and foremost, the transnational dimension of Hungarian football.
Modern sport originated in Europe. During the age of Enlightenment, gymnastics and athletics from Antiquity were rediscovered and changed into new cultural and educational forms, which shaped both the body and the mind. The industrialisation of Britain and Europe eventually introduced organisational patterns that gave 'sport' not only a name, but also a new structure. This was a distinctive product of European civilisation, which spread across the modern world. The 100 objects that are collected here are both material objects and forms of communication which explore the transformation and diversity of sports, games and physical education in Europe whether for training, performing or as part of other forms of celebration or festivity. This book is the first attempt to create a kaleidoscopic history of European sport through its rich material culture and emerged from a desire to develop transnational research in sports history. 110 authors from 39 countries have participated in a genuinely pan-European project, introducing the reader to the fascinating range of people, institutions and places which made up the world of modern European sport.

The late twentieth-century transition from a paper-oriented to a media-oriented society has triggered the emergence of Audiovisual Translation as the most dynamic and fastest developing trend within Translation Studies. The growing interest in this area is a clear indication that this discipline is going to set the agenda for the theory, research, training and practice of translation in the twenty-first century. Even so, this remains a largely underdeveloped field and much needs to be done to put Screen Translation, Multimedia Translation or the wider implications of Audiovisual Translation on a par with other fields within Translation Studies. In this light, this collection of essays reflec...
La fortuna della letteratura, dell'arte e dell'architettura della Grecia antica nel Sette e Ottocento passa attraverso la riscoperta dei monumenti del Mediterraneo in cui la Sicilia ha un ruolo fondamentale. Come testimoniano i saggi raccolti in questo volume, con le prime indagini sulle antichità dell'isola condotte sulle grandiose rovine "della più bella città dei mortali" di pindarica memoria, Akragas diviene tappa fondamentale nel viaggio alla ricerca delle radici classiche della cultura europea. Un tema affascinante che attendeva finora un'analisi approfondita, in cui l'antica Akragas, epicentro di un racconto a molte voci, si presenta come meta e summa memoriale di tutta la Sicilia. Il volume è a cura di Alessandro Carlino con saggi e contributi di: Marcello Fagiolo, Gabriele Morolli, Paolo Bertoncini Sabatini, Mario Bevilacqua, Giuseppe Pagnano, Elisabetta Pagello, Francesca Gringeri Pantano, Francesca Lui, Emanuele Kanceff, Lucia Trigilia, Rosario Portale, Teodoro Scamardi, Francesco Calì, Mimmarosa Barresi, Alberto Caprioli.
