Receptions of Antiquity
"This volume presents a series of papers which cover the general theme of the reception of antiquity, a topic which has in recent years become a discipline in itself, or what some might call a 'cross-discipline'. Indeed the Nachleben of the (culture of) classical antiquity, and of antiquity as a whole, manifests in a number of diverse domains, opening up the field of reception studies to scholars from disciplines other than Classics. This collection of papers illustrates this diversity, uniting as it does original research by scholars from a variety of disciplines: classicists, historians, theatre historians, architectural historians, psychologists, archaeologists, artists, and more, all of whom have treated some aspect of the so-called 'classical tradition' by means of their own individual approaches, leading to a volume rich and dense in themes and methodologies. 'Receptions of antiquity' has been written by friends of Freddy Decreus, in honour of his career, and in celebration of his thought."--
Bandra Boy
Four Stories of Bandra, old and new We start in 1573, the year the Portuguese Jesuits came to Vandre (so called in those days), and effectively put it on the map. The next date is 1739, when the Maratha armies conquered Bacaim, Salcete - and Bandora -- and expelled the Portuguese from these parts forever. The year 1887 is our next milestone, Queen Victoria's jubilee year,when Bandra's native Catholics acquired a new name: "East Indian'.

Four narratives, each seen through the eyes of a young man, the "Bandra Boy" of the title. What he sees, desires and becomes, is the grist of this narrative.

European Lobbying
Lobbying is an integral part of the political reality of the European Union and a highly competitive and dynamic field of interest groups. This book takes a systematic look at lobbyists in order to broaden our understanding of the staff entrusted with the responsibility of influencing European politics. Who are the European lobbyists? What are their professional backgrounds, career patterns, practices, and beliefs? The study uses a sociological framework to explore the professionalisation and professionalism of the field across national proveniences, policy fields and interest groups, and develops a systematic analysis that considers three different dimensions: occupational patterns, shared ...
