Mapping Experience in Polish and Russian Women’s Writing
The volume encompasses eleven articles which discuss the critical views that Polish and Russian women writers have articulated with regard to the notion of experience and constructions of femininity in the national imagination from the 19th to the 21st centuries. Major themes of the articles include women s experiences as writers in the 19th century; women s embodied experiences of a traumatic past; body and sexuality in the different ages of women; political and aesthetic discourses and femininity. Although the articles are arranged in chronological order, they do not form an absolute chronological or periodic continuum, i.e. from Romanticism to Postmodernism, although references to certain...

The Routledge Handbook of the Politics of the #MeToo Movement
Since the MeToo hashtag went viral in 2017, the movement has burgeoned across social media, moving beyond Twitter and into living rooms and courtrooms. It has spread unevenly across the globe, with some countries and societies more impacted than others, and interacted with existing feminist movements, struggles, and resistances. This interdisciplinary handbook identifies thematic and theoretical areas that require attention and interrogation, inviting the reader to make connections between the ways in which the #MeToo movement has panned out in different parts of the world, seeing it in the context of the many feminist and gendered struggles already in place, as well as the solidarities with similar movements across countries and cultures. With contributions from gender experts spanning a wide range of disciplines including political science, history, sociology, law, literature, and philosophy, this groundbreaking book will have contemporary relevance for scholars, feminists, gender researchers, and policy-makers across the globe.
Aborto senza frontiere
Lo sguardo dell’autore sulle proteste contro il divieto d’aborto in Polonia non le considera una vicenda essenzialmente polacca e dimostra che lo #StrajkKobiet fa parte di una rinascita globale del movimenti per i diritti attingendo alle sue pratiche organizzative e comunicative, arricchendo simboli e nuovi immaginari. In un mondo globale l’organizzazione delle piazze sperimenta i social media più recenti per aggirare la repressione o sfuggire alle censure. Questo è avvenuto per rivolte con una forte presenza femminile: le vicine Bielorussia e Ucraina fino ai movimenti più lontani delle “Primavere arabe” e delle caceroladas argentine, da Hong Kong a Gezi Park; #OccupyWallStreet,...
The Odyssey of Communism
This volume looks into the ways in which film has contaminated and re-shaped culture(s) and the collective unconscious, at both local and global levels, arguing that our lives have been impacted by the ‘then’ that we keep revisiting, lest we forget. It takes the reader from the Berlin Wall to China, and from the terror of communist political prisons and labour camps to the rosy image promoted by propaganda. A key point throughout the text is its interdisciplinary nature, as it brings together literature and film scholars, directors, sociologists and philosophers, whose overall conclusion is that communism, lingering in mentalities, still needs interrogation. Structured along four parts w...
Perspektywa gender w polityce społecznej
„W ostatnich dwudziestu latach ukazały się liczne przekłady i oryginalne prace polskich autorów dotyczące kwestii płci kulturowej. Pokazują one, że płeć jest ważnym elementem warunkującym tożsamość i sytuację społeczną, a bez wzięcia pod uwagę kulturowych uwarunkowań płci trudno opisać społeczeństwo i mechanizmy nim rządzące. Recenzowana książka, wynik współpracy uczonych z Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego i Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika, wprowadza tę problematykę do polityki społecznej. Autorzy zastanawiają się, jak teorię wykorzystać w polu praktyki i jakie pożytki może to przynieść. Już samo podjęcie tematu zasługuje na uznanie. Szczególnie dziś, gdy perspektywa gender wymaga odczarowania i fachowej debaty”. Z recenzji wydawniczej dr hab. Agnieszki Kościańskiej z Instytutu Etnologii i Antropologii Kulturowej Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego

The Book of Aron
Warsaw, Poland, 1939. My mother and father named me Aron, but my father said they should have named me What Have You Done or What Were You Thinking. Aron is a nine-year-old Polish Jew, and a troublemaker. As the walls go up around the ghetto in Warsaw, as the lice and typhus rage, food is stolen and even Jewish police betray their people, Aron smuggles from the other side to survive. In a place where no one thinks of anyone but himself, the only exception is Doctor Korczak; children's rights activist and embattled orphanage director. They call the Doctor a hero. Aron is not a hero. He is not special or selfless or spirited. He is ordinary. He is willing to do what the Doctor will not.
The Cap
A Polish survivor’s “brutal and beautifully written” Holocaust memoir. “The power of his portrayal of one man’s instinct for survival . . . cannot be denied” (The Boston Globe). The Cap is an unconventional Holocaust memoir that defies all moral judgment and ventures into a soul blackened by the unforgiving cruelty of its surroundings. Roman Frister’s memoir of his life before, during, and after his imprisonment in the Nazi concentration camps sparked enormous controversy and became an international bestseller. With bone-chilling candor, Frister illustrates how the impulse to live unhinges our comfortable notions of morality, blurring the boundary between victim and oppressor a...
