Sophie George lives with her father in the small town of Orchard Mead and works after school at their post office. She enjoys delivering the mail around the town, mainly because she likes to draw funny pictures based on some of the weirdos that live here. But lately, it's not just the locals who have been acting strange - her Dad has been acting pretty weird too! Sophie's friend Janice is convinced he's a spy, but Sophie thinks that is ridiculous. However, the deeper they dig into her father's life, the more confused Sophie becomes. The evidence all seems to add up: the mysterious phone calls, a Russian connection and a mysterious note. Could Janice be right; is her Dad really a spy?

This volume brings together archeologists, art historians, philologists, literary scholars, political scientists, and historians to articulate the ways in which western Greek theater was distinct from that of the Greek mainland and, at the same time, to investigate how the two traditions interacted. The chapters intersect and build on each other in their pursuit of a number of shared questions and themes: the place of theater in the cultural life of Sicilian and South Italian 'colonial cities;' theater as a method of cultural self-identification; shared mythological themes in performance texts and theatrical vase-painting; and the reflection and analysis of Sicilian and South Italian theater in the work of Athenian philosophers and playwrights. Together, the essays explore central problems in the study of western Greek theater. By gathering a number of different perspectives and methods, this volume offers the first wide-ranging examination of this hitherto neglected history.
The basic set of this work consists of 1851-1974, v. 1-22. Supplements will periodically update information.
É possível encontrar neste livro de Clarice Greco uma original articulação entre dois tradicionais campos de estudos. De um lado, os estudos de fãs, que, desde a obra seminal de Henry Jenkins, "Textual poachers" (1992), conquistaram espaço na comunicação para justificar uma cultura de participação e uma nova visão aos estudos de recepção. Por outro lado, os estudos sobre a obra cult, que chegam à televisão cult, e que a autora, de modo pioneiro, aplica à telenovela cult. Para isso, percorre o desenrolar do conceito e o desconstrói para superar a oposição cult x popular. Dentro de uma bela construção teórico-metodológica, diversas técnicas de observação são combinadas com a montagem de uma tipologia de telenovelas cult. A entrada do homem ordinário nessa construção permite à autora reconhecer o valor do senso comum na caracterização do valor do culto. Nada mais é preciso dizer para reconhecer que este livro de Clarice Greco se reveste e pioneirismo e de importância equiparável aos estudos internacionais sobre o tema.
