The Strange Sad War Revolving: Walt Whitman, Reconstruction,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mancuso, Luke, PUBLISHER: Camden House (NY), Walt Whitman's prolific Reconstruction project has remained the most uncultivated decade in Whitman studies for over a century. This first book-length analysis seeks to point the way for a needed recovery of Whitman's publications by embedding them in the legislative discourse of black emancipation and its stormy aftermath. The supposed absence of race relations in Whitman's post-war texts has recently become a source of curiosity and denunciation. However, from to , the Congressional 'workshop' was seeking to forge interracial civil rights legislation through surveillance of the implementation of such egalitarianism, as manifested in the Civil War Amendments, the Enforcement Acts of , and the Civil Rights Act of . The analysis of the hegemonic shift in Whitman's implementation of his democratic poetics constitutes the innovative contribution in these pages. By welcoming ex-slaves into the Union, as well as ex-Rebel states, Whitman's Reconstruction texts enlisted his representations in the federalizing rhetoric of civil rights protection that would lapse for almost a century, before recovery in the Second Reconstruction of the s and s.

Writing about Patients: Responsibilities, Risks, and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kantrowitz, Judy Leopold, PUBLISHER: Other Press (NY), An important new study of the clinical conundrum surrounding the publication of patient material. The publication, presentation, and discussion of case studies are essential to the dialogue of psychoanalysis. However, presenting patient material to the public by either disguising the patient's identity or asking for the patient's consent presents a clinical dilemma. In a series of interviews, Judy Leopold Kantrowitz asks 141 analysts not only to describe their thoughts about disguising a patient versus asking a patient's consent to appear in a paper, but also their perceptions of the clinical ramifications of a patient reading the material, whether by accident or design. In first-hand accounts, both analysts-as-patients and patients who are not themselves analysts relate the experience of reading about themselves, and reflect on the impact that reading had on their view of their analysts, themselves, and the analytic work. Ethical concerns about confidentiality and decision making are examined both in theory and in the context of their clinical effect. Throughout the book, Kantrowitz examines the conscious and unconscious motives for analysts in writing about a patient, ultimately demonstrating that the conflict between the need to preserve patient privacy and the need for a literature including clinical material is not easily resolved.
M. f. hirsch-coppia candelieri sterling weighted
- JERSEY CITY - NY Si tratta di una coppia di candelieri bassi in perfetto stile decò. La manifattura M. Fred Hirsch è facilmente desumibile dal punzone MFH e permette oltretutto una datazione certa in quanto essa è stata attiva dal al . I due oggetti quindi possono essere collocati geograficamente e temporalmente alla stregua degli argenti inglesi. Il materiale "sterling weighted" (anche questo desumibile dal punzone") indica semplicemente una lavorazione con anima di rame e aggiunta di una lastratura in argento 925. L'usanza d lavorare in "sterling weighted" serviva semplicemente al fine di ridurre i costi degli oggetti e tale vantaggio resta valido anche oggi e permette di acquisire oggetti di importante valore storico ed artistico a prezzi accessibili. Nel nostro caso va sottolineato che il punzone (si veda la foto) indica la manifattura precisa a differenza di altri oggetti che indicano solo il tipo di lavorazione. Non è poco sapere con assoluta certezza che l'oggetto è stato creato a New York all'inizio del secolo scorso. Vi è una insignificante bottarella alla base di uno dei due candelieri. Essa invero ne sottolinea la vita attiva e l'uso. Altezza 9 cm Circonferenza 10 cm Peso 696 grammi

Vichy - - il regime del disonore
Robert O. Paxton - Il Saggiatore ISBN: La storia della Francia presenta nel novecento un capitolo oscuro: gli anni di Vichy. Dopo l''umiliante disfatta del il paese venne diviso in due; la parte settentrionale fu direttamente occupata dalle truppe tedesche, mentre in quella meridionale il maresciallo Petain creo'' sotto la tutela nazista uno stato collaborazionista e reazionario che aveva nella citta'' termale di Vichy la sua capitale. Per decenni i francesi hanno creduto che quello di Petain fosse un regime fantoccio dei tedeschi e quindi non direttamente responsabile delle atrocita' commesse. Il libro di Paxton invece mostra che aveva considerevoli margini di autonomia di cui fece il peggior uso possibile. Il governo di Laval si dedico' fin da subito alla individuazione dei nemici interni, sui quali scaricare la colpa della sconfitta militare Copertina cartonata con sovracopertina - pagg. 415 - Lire x 220 Spedizione non tracciata euro 1,90 tracciata euro 3,90 Paxton e' professore di storia dell'Europa contemporanea alla Columbia Unioversity di NY ed e' considerato uno dei massimi storici viventi Il libro di Paxton in gran parte basato su archivi tedeschi che i francesi avevano ignorato e' stato IL PRIMO a documentare che il regime del maresciallo Petain non era un semplice strumento della politica nazista. Secondo Paxton quello di Vichy era un governo collaborazionista che rappresentava lo Stato francese. FU QUINDI LA FRANCIA A MANDARE SETTANTAMILA EBREI VERSO LA MORTE - The NYT
Literary Studies and the Pursuits of Reading
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Downing, Eric / Hess, Jonathan M. / Benson, Richard V., PUBLISHER: Camden House (NY), Thirty years ago, when theory emerged as integral to literary studies, investigations into the nature of reading dominated academic criticism. Since then, as cultural studies and historical approaches have gained ascendancy, critical focus on reading has waned. This collection of new essays by leading scholars of German and comparative literature, inspired by the work of the long-time and influential scholar of reading Clayton Koelb, puts the study of reading back at center stage, considering current theory on reading, emotion, and affect alongside historical investigations into cultural practices of reading as they have changed over time. Topics addressed include ancient practices of magic reading; Christian conversionary reading; the emergence of silent reading in the Middle Ages; Renaissance ekphrastic reading; homeopathy, reading and Romanticism; and German-Jewish reading cultures in the nineteenth century. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of literary criticism, German Studies, comparative literature, and European history. Contributors: Richard V.

A Companion to German Realism
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kontje, Todd, PUBLISHER: Camden House (NY), This volume of new essays by leading scholars treats a representative sampling of German realist prose from the period to , the period of its dominance of the German literary landscape. It includes essays on familiar, canonical authors -- Stifter, Freytag, Raabe, Fontane, Thomas Mann -- and canonical texts, but also considers writers frequently omitted from traditional literary histories, such as Luise MAAA1/2hlbach, Friedrich Spielhagen, Louise von FranAAA1/2ois, Karl May, and Eugenie Marlitt. The introduction situates German realism in the context of both German literary history and of developments in other European literatures, and surveys the most prominent critical studies of ninteenth-century realism. The essays treat the following topics: Stifter's Brigitta and the lesson of realism; MAAA1/2hlbach, Ranke, and the truth of historical fiction; regional histories as national history in Freytag's Die Ahnen; gender and nation in Louise von FranAAA1/2ois's historical fiction; theory, reputation, and the career of Friedrich Spielhagen; Wilhelm Raabe and the German colonial experience; the poetics of work in Freytag, Stifter, and Raabe; Jewish identity in Berthold Auerbach's novels; Eugenie Marlitt's narratives of virtuous desire; the appeal of Karl May in the Wilhelmine Empire; Thomas Mann's portrayal of male-male desire in his early short fiction; and Fontane's Effi Briest and the end of realism.
