Building the New Man
Based on previously unexplored archival documentation, this book offers the first general overview of the history of Italian eugenics, not limited to the decades of Fascist regime, but instead ranging from the beginning of the 1900s to the first half of the 1970s. The Author discusses several fundamental themes of the comparative history of eugenics: the importance of the Latin eugenic model; the relationship between eugenics and fascism; the influence of Catholicism on the eugenic discourse and the complex links between genetics and eugenics. It examines the Liberal pre-fascist period and the post-WW2 transition from fascist and racial eugenics to medical and human genetics. As far as fascist eugenics is concerned, the book provides a refreshing analysis, considering Italian eugenics as the most important case-study in order to define Latin eugenics as an alternative model to its Anglo-American, German and Scandinavian counterparts. Analyses in detail the nature-nurture debate during the State racist campaign in fascist Italy (1938–1943) as a boundary tool in the contraposition between the different institutional, political and ideological currents of fascist racism.
Pogrom?
Describes riots on 9 March 1936 in Przytyk, during which one Pole and two Jews were killed. Presents the historical background of the conflict, the trial after the riots, and echoes of the events in Poland and abroad. Denies that there was a pogrom, arguing that the riots were the result of a very complicated relationship between Poles and Jews in a period of harsh economic crisis. States that there is no proof that the riots were provoked by Endecja members. Agrees that nationalistic propaganda and a boycott led by Endecja contributed to the worsening of the atmosphere in the town. Accuses Jewish self-defense groups, which he considers illegal, of contributing to the peasants' "revenge" during the riots and the murder of a Jewish couple. Concludes that the economic crisis in interwar Poland was a main factor in tensions that sometimes led to riots. States that both Polish and Jewish historiography present events subjectively and use them in their ideological struggle. Pp. 141-367 contain documents concerning the riots, including court and police reports, witnesses' accounts, parliamentary proceedings, and press commentaries.
The Politics of Love
The Politics of Love describes the history of Polish intellectual and cultural life, which covertly flourished at home and abroad despite imperial repression between Poland's two great uprisings in 1830–1831 and 1863. Natalie Cornett focuses her study on a group of educated women known as the "Enthusiasts" (Entuzjastki), who were united by their commitment to live as independent women despite the intense nationalism that put the nation above all—including class and gender. The Enthusiasts, led by Narcyza Żmichowska, emphasized sororal love and homosocial bonding in their program to contest both an oppressive imperial regime and constrictive gender roles. Their affective relationships wi...
Die verzauberte Familie
Kindliche Zeichnungen reflektieren häufig die Spannungen, die das Kind in seiner Familie erlebt. Werden Kinder aufgefordert, ihre Familie zu zeichnen, so kann dies helfen, Familienkonstellationen, Bindungen und Störungen zu erkennen. Mit entwicklungspsychologischem Wissen angewandt, ist "Die verzauberte Familie" ein projektiver Test, der die Hintergründe kindlicher Störungen aufdecken kann. Damit ist er ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Psychodiagnostik des Kindes.
Van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh created some of the best loved - and most expensive - works of art ever made, from the early The Potato Eaters to his late masterpieces Sunflowers and The Starry Night. He had worked as an art dealer, a missionary and as a teacher in England, and only in his late twenties did he begin a life that would be fundamental in shaping modern art. But when he died in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890 at the age of thirty-seven he was largely unknown. Written with the cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum, Pulitzer-winning authors Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith recreate his extraordinary life, and the inside of his troubled mind, like never before - and they put forward an explosive new theory challenging the widespread belief that Van Gogh took his own life. Drawing for the first time on all of his (and his family's) extensive letters, which offer exquisite glimpses into his thoughts and feelings, this is the definitive portrait of one of the world's cultural giants.
