Staging the Holocaust
'To portray the Holocaust, one has to create a work of art', says Claude Lanzmann, the director of Shoah. However, can the Holocaust be turned into theatre? Is it possible to portray on stage events that, by their monstrosity, defy human comprehension? These are the questions addressed by the playwrights and the scholars featured in this book. Their essays present and analyse plays performed in Israel, America, France, Italy, Poland and, of course, Germany. The style of presentation ranges from docudramas to avant-garde performances, from realistic impersonation of historical figures to provocative and nightmarish spectacles. The book is illustrated with original production photographs and some rare drawings and documents; it also contains an important descriptive bibliography of more than two hundred Holocaust plays.
Joyce's Politics
The object of this study, first published in 1980, is to dispel the view that James Joyce had no political views. Although not a political novelist like D. H. Lawrence or Joseph Conrad, political issues and discussions are central to Joyce’s major novels. This title links that political content with Joyce’s own views, and examines the evolution of those views and attitudes. A number of unusual and fascinating sources for Joyce’s thought are uncovered. Joyce’s Politics is thus a thorough review of a neglected aspect of Joyce and his writings, and will be of interest to students of literature.

Mussolini's Death March
In his quest for military glory, Benito Mussolini sent the Italian Eighth Army to the Eastern Front to help fight the Russians, only to have his forces routed within little more than a month of the launch of the Soviet counteroffensives of the winter of 1942-1943. The Cuneense, a division of mountain troops, was hit especially hard, with only a small percentage of its troops straggling back to Italy; the rest were killed in action or died of frostbite or in captivity from malnourishment, overwork, and disease. All told, the Italians suffered roughly 75,000 dead, more than in their six-month campaign in Greece and Albania or in their three years in North Africa. Nuto Revelli, who fought in Ru...
Liberalismus (be-)denken
Vorliegender Sammelband widmet sich den politisch sehr heterogenen Europa-Ideen und Liberalismuskonzepten, die von 1900 bis 1950 in Wissenschaft, Literatur und Kulturkritik intensiv diskutiert werden. Die germanistischen, politologischen, ideen- und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Beiträge entstanden im Zusammenhang eines Forschungsprojekts der Universitäten Heidelberg, Paris-Sorbonne und Venedig, das vom Centre interdisciplinaire d'études et de recherches sur l'Allemagne gefördert wurde. Das Buch befasst sich mit den philosophischen Ursprüngen, intellektuellen Konstellationen und literarischen Artikulationen dieser Europa-Ideen, die den Liberalismus und die Demokratie in einem größeren Zusammenhang mit Kulturdiagnosen der Moderne reflektieren. Gerade in der Zwischenkriegszeit zirkulieren nicht nur pazifistische und demokratische, sondern auch antiliberale und autoritäre Europa-Ideen, die auf den Untergang der Großreiche 1918 mit kontinentalen Größenphantasien reagieren und kaum als demokratische Vorläufer der EU gelten können. Sie werden von der Literatur aufmerksam beobachtet, kommentiert und teils auch in ihr entworfen.

Accoglienza e autorità nella relazione educativa
I temi della libertà e dell'autonomia in educazione hanno ormai messo in crisi il modello tradizionale legato all'autorità forte, lasciando tuttavia un vuoto non sufficientemente colmato dalle scienze dell'educazione. Il volume porta il proprio contributo in questo dibattito tentando una pista controcorrente rispetto alle tendenze frammentarie di questa nostra epoca, proponendo delle risposte più integrate e complete. Il tema della relazione educativa tra autoritarismo, permissivismo e autorevolezza è infatti affrontato nell'ambito di una riflessione multidisciplinare (sociologica, psicologica, filosofica, storica, antropologica, teologica, pedagogica e sociale), che punta a un recupero dell'unicità della persona e della relazione. La prima parte del volume raccoglie saggi e brevi scritti che ribadiscono la necessità di aprire l'educazione a una visione pluralista; la seconda presenta e interpreta esperienze concrete che possono aiutare genitori, insegnanti, studenti universitari e operatori sociali nel loro difficile ruolo di educatori.
