The Nazi Worker
The Nazi Worker is the second in a three-volume project on the figure of the worker and, by extension, questions of class in twentieth-century German culture. It is based on extensive research in the archives and informed by recent debates on the politics of emotion, the end of class, and the future of work. In seven chapters, the book reconstructs the processes by which National Socialism appropriated aspects of working-class culture and socialist politics and translated class-based identifications into the racialized communitarianism of Volksgemeinschaft (folk community). Arbeitertum (workerdom), the operative term within these processes of appropriation, not only established a discursive ...

London, Europe and the Olympic Games
London hosted the Olympic Games for the third time in 2012, a mega-event where the political, economic and social expectations could hardly be compared with the previous London Games of 1908 and 1948. In addition, the Olympic Games went back to Europe in 2012 after a long period where (apart from Athens in 2004) they were held by cities in other continents. In London, the world watched the Games. Continental Europe, however, generated a particular attitude based on the special relations it had developed historically with England. At the crossing point of history, cultural studies and geopolitics, this book provides new insights on the significance of the Olympic Games. It considers that the Games are the right window to look at both the past and the current relations between England and its closest continental neighbours. It will be ideal for students and academics working in sport sciences, cultural history, political science and European studies; amateur and professional sports historians; Olympic followers and experts in Olympic studies. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
Music on Stage Volume III
The Music on Stage conferences are a unique engine for interdisciplinary interaction, which is reflected in this compendium of the latest research by international scholars. Scholars and practitioners of operas by Handel, Mozart, Thomas, Chabrier, Korngold and Taktakishvili will find new “readings” from hitherto unexplored contexts and contemporary fine art. Also discussed is operatic lighting and the problematics of traditional lighting schemes apropos recent inventive methodologies. Popular sound development of the late 1960s is highlighted through unique oral transcripts. Other chapters discuss the intermediality of music and social media in the work of Brigitta Muntendorf; the visual transcoding of Wagner’s leitmotif technique; a new theory of Affektenlehre, and the art and politics of the Slovenian conceptual music collective Laibach.
Inscripții pe columna gimnasticii românești - Ediția a III-a, 2022
”Să te cunoşti, să te stăpâneşti, să te învingi, iată frumuseţea eternă a sportului, aspiraţiile adevăratului sportiv şi condiţiile succesului său”, spunea candva Pierre de Coubertin. Este și ideea principală care a stat la baza acestei a treia ediții a volumului “Inscripții pe columna gimnasticii românești - Ediția a III-a, 2022 “, autor jurnalistul Emanuel Fântâneanu. Cele peste 3000 pagini sunt o incursiune în istoria gimnasticii universale și noilor sale structuri organizatorice, pentru a desluși, poate mai bine, locul și rostul gimnasticii românești; drumul parcurs de acest sport pe melegurile noastre, plecând din secolele trecute și până azi, ...
Restos de azul
Em Restos de Azul, uma professora de língua portuguesa é afastada de suas atividades laborais em decorrência de um grave episódio de esgotamento físico e mental. Esse é o ponto de partida deste impressionante romance que apresenta, de maneira melancólica e desconcertante, uma anatomia da depressão, costurada desde fractais da solidão humana cujo espatifamento é apenas interrompido a partir da chegada repentina de um gato faminto que invade a vida e o apartamento ocos da mulher, forçando-a à lembrança de que ela também precisa sobreviver. Michel de Oliveira narra a história dessa professora que está à beira do afogamento psicológico, e que acaba por encontrar alento na escrita de suas dores. Com a escrita, quase diária, deságua os assombros de ser viva e só, e acha forças para agarrar-se às margens que detêm o ímpeto das águas, num movimento tão característico de todos nós, seres humanos: o de perdurar, apesar de todo fim, toda morte.
