Women and Gender in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia
This is the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and multilingual bibliography on "Women and Gender in East Central Europe and the Balkans (Vol. 1)" and "The Lands of the Former Soviet Union (Vol. 2)" over the past millennium. The coverage encompasses the relevant territories of the Russian, Hapsburg, and Ottoman empires, Germany and Greece, and the Jewish and Roma diasporas. Topics range from legal status and marital customs to economic participation and gender roles, plus unparalleled documentation of women writers and artists, and autobiographical works of all kinds. The volumes include approximately 30,000 bibliographic entries on works published through the end of 2000, as well as web sites and unpublished dissertations. Many of the individual entries are annotated with brief descriptions of major works and the tables of contents for collections and anthologies. The entries are cross-referenced and each volume includes indexes.
Polish and Irish Struggles for Self-Determination
This book discusses little-known linkages between two seemingly distant peoples, the Polish and the Irish, whose historical experiences share important similarities. Both Ireland and Poland have been subject to foreign rule, which they overturned in 1916 and 1918 respectively. Their predominantly Catholic societies were among the first to grant voting rights to women a century ago. This volume uses the centenary of both Ireland and Poland (re)gaining national independence and the political empowerment of women in these countries as a point of departure to analyse selected aspects of Polish and Irish people’s struggle for autonomy. Cases of mutual assistance, including the awareness-raising campaigns organized by Western women in support of the independence and suffragist movements in Poland, are presented along with examples of grassroots self-organization, foreign press coverage, and military and diplomatic efforts to empower the Poles and the Irish.
Cooperativism and Democracy
The Cooperativism and Democracy, edited by Bartłomiej Błesznowski is not purely a scientific book, but rather a guide which shows how scholars and activists wrote about the community, social participation and the politics in Poland in the early 20th century. The book contains a selection of texts in socio-political thought, led by the work of one of most important Polish thinkers – Edward Abramowski, socialist, philosopher and psychologist. Polish cooperativism can be inspiring to both contemporary researchers and political activists in Europe post the economic crisis, which brought about a crisis of faith in political and economic institutions. These works have a chance to become a sign...
Marginalizacja a rozwój społeczny – między teraźniejszością i przeszłością
Prezentowana publikacja powstała jako odpowiedź na dyskusje podjęte podczas spotkań środowiska naukowego zajmującego się problemem marginalizacji i wykluczenia społecznego, i stanowi spójną całość złożoną z dwudziestu trzech opracowań. Zaproponowano w niej rozważania nad szerokim tematycznie spektrum marginalizacji społecznej – od perspektywy poznawczej, poprzez historyczną, na wyzwaniach praktycznych kończąc. Stanowi ona próbę całościowego spojrzenia na wzajemne uwarunkowania i konsekwencje marginalizacji oraz rozwoju społecznego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem doświadczeń polskich w kontekście współczesnym i historycznym. Celem, którym redaktorzy wraz z ...
Polskie tłumaczki literackie XIX wieku
Noblistka uczy nas, że „tłumacze codziennie ratują świat': ,,stanowią bowiem elementy składowe czegoś w rodzaju przewodzącej tkanki nerwowej''. która umożliwia komunikację międzyludzką. Jednak o samych tłumaczach wiemy bardzo niewiele, a już tłumacze wieków wcześniejszych, którzy przez stulecia wzbogacali polską literaturę o utwory autorów zagranicznych, są dla nas światem całkowicie nieznanym. Uważam, że monografia Karoliny Dębskiej jest w polskim przekładoznawstwie pozycją bardzo wartościową, godną publikacji i rozpowszechnienia w dobie zwrotów, jakie przechodzi nasza dyscyplina. Jest świadectwem rzetelnego warsztatu naukowego, orientacji w rozmaitych n...
Philanthropic Celebrity in the Age of Sensibility
This volume, an original combination of biography, cultural history, and media studies, investigates the first moment in history when philanthropy was used as a self-standing claim to fame and philanthropists started being considered as a distinct breed of public figures. In its search for the cause of this development, it examines the way in which public images of early philanthropists in different parts of Europe were shaped in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The work draws on a comparison between British prison reformer John Howard, Alsatian pastor and humanitarian Jean-Frédéric Oberlin, and Stanisław Staszic, a key figure of Enlightenment politics in Congress Poland. Revealing parallel mechanisms at play in different national contexts, it argues that famous philanthropists ushered in a new genre of fame, ‘philanthropic celebrity’, that placed Enlightenment ideals about virtue within the framework of early celebrity culture. The book is primarily aimed at advanced students and scholars of history, cultural studies, and social sciences, especially those interested in the concepts of fame and celebrity and in the origins of modern humanitarianism.
