The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies
The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies is the most comprehensive and expansive critical handbook of Jewish music published to date. It is the first endeavor to address the diverse range of sounds, texts, archives, traditions, histories, geographic and political contexts, and critical discourses in the field. The thirty-one experts from thirteen countries who prepared the thirty original and groundbreaking chapters in this handbook are leaders in the disciplines of musicology and Jewish studies as well as adjacent fields. Chapters in the handbook provide a broad coverage of the subject area with considerable expansion of the topics that are normally covered in a resource of this type. De...
Promised Lands North and South
This book puts two of the most significant Jewish Diaspora communities outside of the U.S. into conversation with one another. At times contributor-pairs directly compare unique aspects of two Jewish histories, politics, or cultures. At other times, they juxtapose. Some chapters focus on literature, poetry, theatre, or sport; others on immigration, antisemitism, or health. Taken together, the essays in Promised Lands North and South offer sparkling insight and new depth on the modern Jewish global experience.
Explaining Support for Populism in Contemporary Latin America
Explaining Support for Populism in Contemporary Latin America investigates the stronghold that populism exerts on citizens in the developing world. More specifically, relying on regional surveys, this book explores why many citizens consistently supported eight populist presidents who were elected in contemporary Latin America. It examines the determinants of support for the populist presidents who governed Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua between 1999 and 2019, and the variables that explain support for the most recent populist presidents in Mexico, Brazil and El Salvador between 2018 and 2023. Unique to this approach is a strong emphasis on the demand-side of populism and the use ...
Paula
Paula, nata il 22 ottobre 1963, è una ragazza felice, innamorata di suo marito, appassionata del suo lavoro. La sua è una vita semplice, e non ha niente a che vedere con quella di sua madre Isabel. Due donne, due destini diversi. Improvvisamente, a ventott'anni, Paula si ammala di una malattia gravissima, la porfiria, che la trascina in un coma da cui non c'è ritorno. Isabel accorre al suo capezzale per cercare di trattenerla in vita o, forse, per accompagnarla dolcemente veso la fine... Grazie alla magia della scrittura, cerca di "distrarre la morte", cerca di trovare un senso a una tale tragedia evocando la sua esuberante e bizzarra famiglia perché circondi Paula e la aiuti a superare, senza perdersi, il confine della vita. Un'autobiografia, una storia esemplare di dolore e di speranza, una straordinaria confessione sulla genesi delle sue opere, i suoi viaggi, gli amori: Isabel Allende, mescolando con franchezza e umanità il riso al pianto, dice addio a Paula come donna per darle il benvenuto come 'spirito'. Perché non esiste separazione definitiva finché esiste il ricordo.
“Broyt mit teater”
A partir de un exhaustivo trabajo de archivo y de recolección de testimonios, este libro reconstruye la historia del circuito teatral judío que se desarrolló en Argentina en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Ansaldo sostiene que el teatro judío funcionó como una corriente modernizadora que tuvo un fuerte impacto en el campo teatral nacional. Debido a su carácter itinerante y por vía del ídish, los artistas y las compañías judías trajeron a la Argentina nuevas concepciones teatrales, repertorios, poéticas de actuación y estéticas modernas que aún no se habían difundido en los escenarios nacionales.
