Ela Pede Vista
Palavras são como pingos de tinta em uma tela em branco que compõem o retrato vivo da memória daqueles que expressam seus pensamentos. Com isso em mente, apresentamos o livro concebido pelas cofundadoras da Elas Pedem Vista, Carol Caputo, Cristina Neves, Julia de Baére e Manuela Falcão, em parceria com Maria Elizabeth Rocha e Christine Peter, que homenageia, neste retrato escrito, a grande magistrada Ministra Rosa Weber, admirada por todas e todos. A obra nasce às vésperas da sua aposentadoria compulsória, no próximo dia 2 de outubro, quando completará 75 (setenta e cinco) anos, dos quais quase 50 (cinquenta) foram dedicados à nobre missão de Juíza. O momento, portanto, não pod...
The Past in French History
This fascinating book examines how the past pervades French public life, how the French both commemorate their past triumphs, heroes, and martyrs and attempt to erase the more violent events in their history. The book surveys the ways that various political communities in France during the past two centuries have manufactured different versions of the past in order to define their identities and legitimate their goals. Beginning with a discussion of the bicentenary of the French Revolution in 1989, Robert Gildea moves backward in time to show how rival factions have used various elements of French political culture--from the grandeur of the ancien r�gime to Catholicism, Jacobinism, Anarchi...
The Poor in Western Europe in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.
Nations as Zones of Conflict
This compelling book argues that it is wrong to assume that nations are culturally uniform. Hutchinson provocatively asserts that resting on older diverse ethnic identities, nations adapt from the unpredictable challenges of modernity, and such plurality makes them prone to cultural wars.
Performing Remains
'At last, the past has arrived! Performing Remains is Rebecca Schneider's authoritative statement on a major topic of interest to the field of theatre and performance studies. It extends and consolidates her pioneering contributions to the field through its interdisciplinary method, vivid writing, and stimulating polemic. Performing Remains has been eagerly awaited, and will be appreciated now and in the future for its rigorous investigations into the aesthetic and political potential of reenactments.' - Tavia Nyong'o, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University 'I have often wondered where the big, important, paradigm-changing book about re-enactment is: Schneider’s book seems to me to ...
