Daniela Bonanno Ierone Il Dinomenide. Storia E Rappresentazione
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Daniela Bonanno
EAN: 9788862272193
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Il primo storico a menzionare Ierone è Erodoto, che ricorda il momento in cui egli ricevette dal fratello Gelone il governo di Gela, città in cui la famiglia dei Dinomenidi, a cui essi appartenevano, aveva incominciato a costruire il suo potere. Il contesto narrativo in cui Erodoto inserisce la vicenda storica è quello del lungo logos sulla storia siceliota: in essa, uno dei dati principali è l'importanza rivestita dai Dinomenidi. Il volume della Bonanno è articolato in cinque parti e organizzato in modo prevalentemente cronologico. La prima parte studia i problemi legati alla successione al trono di Siracusa; la seconda e la terza sono dedicate all'indagine sulle scelte strategiche di Ierone nei suoi primi anni di governo siracusano; la quarta parte si occupa della composizione del circolo siracusano all'inizio del V secolo e dei rapporti di forza al suo interno. Il volume si conclude con un excursus sull'evoluzione che l'immagine di Ierone ha subìto nella rielaborazione storiografica del V e del IV secolo.

The Routledge Companion To Narrative Theory
Lafeltrinelli.it
EAN: 9780367569730
Categoria: Libri e riviste
The Routledge Companion to Narrative Theory brings together top scholars in the field to explore the significance of narrative to pressing social, cultural, and theoretical issues. How does narrative both inform and limit the way we think today? From conspiracy theories and social media movements to racial politics and climate change future scenarios, the reach is broad. This volume is distinctive for addressing the complicated relations between the interdisciplinary narrative turn in the academy and the contemporary boom of instrumental storytelling in the public sphere. The scholars collected here explore new theories of causality, experientiality, and fictionality; challenge normative modes of storytelling; and offer polemical accounts of narrative fiction, nonfiction, and video games. Drawing upon the latest research in areas from cognitive sciences to complexity theory, the volume provides an accessible entry point for those new to the myriad applications of narrative theory and a point of departure for new scholarship.

Sebastian Coxon The Presentation Of Authorship In Medieval German Literature 1220-1290
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Sebastian Coxon
EAN: 9780198160175
Categoria: Libri e riviste
This book sheds light on the complexity of medieval German literary culture as it evolved in the course of the thirteenth century (c. 1220-1290) by analysing the attitudes of narrative poets towards the issue of authorship. It describes the various ways in which vernacular writers could address the theme of their own authorship within their literary works, and explores the tensions that arose between such authorial strategies on the one hand and their subsequent manuscript transmission on the other. The first part of the book deals with the presentation of authorship in the works of two poets who stand at the heart of literary tradition (Rudolf von Ems; Konrad von Würzburg), and involves discussion of such topics as authorial signature, acrostics, author portraits, and patronage; the second part deals with two genres (heroic epic; short story) that evince a rather more problematic relationship with the figure of the author.

Jose Martinez Diversity, Funding, And Standardized Testing In American Education: Causes Of Inequality
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Jose Martinez
EAN: 9781680531909
Categoria: Libri e riviste
In Diversity, Funding, and Standardized Testing in American Education, noted education expert Jose Martinez’s examines current aspects of inequality in American education, examining the complex nexus of funding, diversity, and the increasingly contentious role of standardized testing. A readable narrative format assesses the extensive documentation, which demonstrates that inequality is becoming entrenched throughout the education system, in no small measure due to biases in standardized testing systems. Students from kindergarten through university face the arising challenges while their environments are becoming more diverse.\n\nFunding levels in education are also posited as causes of inequality. This complements the view that standardized testing at all levels of education mirrors and exacerbates entrenched economic inequality. Education funding and standardized testing at all levels have thus become basic mechanisms that purposefully reproduce and maintain a two-tiered society. The solutions are not difficult to discern, as other societies can attest, but Martinez’s thought-provoking new book moves toward engaging them.

Bachar El-halabi Human Rights And The Arab Spring: The Cases Of Tunisia And Egypt
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Bachar El-halabi
EAN: 9781680534702
Categoria: Libri e riviste
By 2015, four years after the dawn of the Arab Spring, the prospects of a unifying political reform narrative in the Arab World were noticeably dwindling. The unprecedented opportunity for a regional workshop of reform and state building had stalled, with Islamist movements more anxious about questions of identity and religious ethics, and with the old guards of the \"deep state\" establishments (mainly military or religious personnel) countering the revolutions, rather than being concerned with constitutionalism. Generally, both incoming governments and governments clinging to a single thread trying to fight the tides of change, have lapsed to reliance on police power to curtail protests, thus raising crucial questions, whether \"orientalist\" or otherwise intentionally regressive: Have post-revolution events proved that the Middle East is incompatible with democracy and international human rights standards? Would entrenching such concepts in the Middle East be doomed to fail?\n\nThe book will examine these questions as they unfolded during the Arab Spring, which sparked in January 2011, first in Tunisia, and then to six other Arab countries, including the most populous one, Egypt. Human Rights and the Arab Spring will highlight, analyse, and contrast, from a \"human rights law\" perspective, the situation in Tunisia - the success model of the Arab Spring - before and after the \"Jasmine Revolution,\" and in Egypt, the Arab Spring's most notable failure - before the 2011 revolution and after the subsequent \"counter-revolution,\" which was led by the military establishment. The book's ultimate goal is to make a case for a contemporary Arabian Magna Carta, a durable legal document that can be used to hold people in power (whether monarchs or dynastic \"monarchical presidencies\") to account, in order to build a legal foundation for the democratisation, liberalisation, and possibly the secularisation of the region, or at least greater respect for international human rights laws and standards.

Ars Notoria: The Notory Art Of Solomon: A Medieval Treatise On Angelic Magic And The Art Of Memory
Lafeltrinelli.it
EAN: 9781644115275
Categoria: Libri e riviste
The 13th-century magical treatise Ars Notoria offers a secret account of the angel Pamphilius revealing the sacred magic to King Solomon by which he gained his famed wisdom and learning, thereby expanding upon the biblical narrative in which Solomon received a vision of God. Solomon’s writings were transmitted to the first-century philosopher, Apollonius of Tyana, who provided a commentary entitled the Golden Flowers (Flores Aurei), which is contained within Ars Notoria.\n\n The magical text presents a complete system of angelic magic consisting of prayers addressed to angels, using figures called notae, for the purpose of acquiring scholastic and heavenly knowledge. Due to its rising popularity among university students, the magical ritual was reworked time and again, producing five treatises, dating from the 13th to 15th centuries; The Work of Works (Opus Operum), the Book of Flowers of Heavenly Teaching composed by the French Benedictine monk named John of Morigny, The Short Art (Ars Brevis), the abridged version attributed to Thomas of Toledo, and The Pauline Art (Ars Paulina), thereby establishing an entire notorial art tradition.\n\n In this new and complete translation of Ars Notoria, based on Julien Veronese’s critical Latin edition, translator Matthias Castle presents the classic magical text, both short and long versions, including four of the later treatises. Castle explains how these theurgic ritual practices were performed, giving special attention to all the original pictorial figures (notae), and how the art of memory relates to angelic magic. Providing practical instruction, extensive commentary, and in-depth background research and annotations, Ars Notoria: The Notory Art of Solomon is an essential sourcebook on angelic magic for scholar and magician alike.

James Calum O’neill The Allegory Of Love In The Early Renaissance: Francesco Colonna’s Hypnerotomachia Poliphili And Its European Context
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: James Calum O’neill
EAN: 9781032389820
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Described as ‘the most beautiful book ever printed’ previous research has focused on the printing history of the Hypnerotomachia and its copious literary sources. This monograph critically engages with the narrative of the Hypnerotomachia and with Poliphilo as a character within this narrative, placing it within its European literary context. Using narratological analysis, it examines the journey of Poliphilo and the series of symbolic, allegorical, and metaphorical experiences narrated by him that are indicative of his metamorphosing interiority. It analyses the relationship between Poliphilo and his external surroundings in sequences of the narrative pertaining to thresholds; the symbolic architectural, topographical, and garden forms and spaces; and Poliphilo’s transforming interior passions including his love of antiquarianism, language, and Polia, the latter of which leads to his elegiac description of lovesickness, besides examinations of numerosophical symbolism in number, form, and proportion of the architectural descriptions and how they relate to the narrative.

Construction Of Chinese Nationalism In The Early 21st Century: Domestic Sources And International Implications
Lafeltrinelli.it
EAN: 9781138777668
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Chinese nationalism is powered by a narrative of China's century of shame and humiliation in the hands of imperialist powers and calls for the Chinese government to redeem the past humiliations and take back all \"lost territories.\" The continuing surge of Chinese nationalism in the early 21st century therefore has fed a roiling sense of anxiety in many political capitals about whether a virulent nationalism has emerged to make China’s rise anything but peaceful. This book addresses this anxiety by examining the domestic sources and foreign policy implications of Chinese nationalism in the early 21st century. \n\nIt is divided into three parts. Part I is an overview of the scholarly debate about if the rise of Chinese nationalism has driven China’s foreign policy in a more irrational and inflexible direction in the first one and half decades of the 21st century. Part II analyzes the construction of Chinese nationalism by a variety of domestic forces, including the communist state, the angry youth (fen qing), liberal intellectuals, and ethnic groups. Part III explores whether Chinese nationalism is affirmative, assertive, or aggressive through the case studies of China’s maritime territorial disputes with Japan in the East China Sea and with several Southeast Asian countries in the South China Sea, the border controversy over the ancient Koguryo with Korea, and the cross-Taiwan Strait relations.\n\nThis book was based on articles published in the Journal of Contemporary China.

Bede: On First Samuel
Lafeltrinelli.it
EAN: 9781789620900
Categoria: Libri e riviste
The Old Testament\nbook 1 Samuel (known as 1 Kings in modern Bibles) contains one of the most\ndramatic stories in the Old Testament, with its tense narrative about Israel’s\nfirst attempts to govern itself by kingship, and a cast of famous characters who\ndrive the story — the priest and prophet Samuel, the tragic figure of King\nSaul, and chiefly David himself, the youngest son of Jesse, who slays the\nPhilistine’s champion, Goliath, and gains God’s favour in replacement for Saul.\n\n\n\nThe Venerable Bede (672-735 AD),\nAnglo-Saxon England’s foremost interpreter of the Bible, wrote many\ncommentaries on the Old Testament, but his treatment of 1 Samuel stands out in\nparticular: it is one of his longest\ncommentaries, one of his first sustained attempts to deal with the Old\nTestament without support from an earlier commentary, and one of the few\ncommentaries he wrote that can be dated precisely. Bede sets out to read the story of 1 Samuel as\nfull of details which demonstrate the prophetic nature of Old Testament\nhistory, an attempt that is boldly experimental in its application of the\nallegorical method of interpretation.\n\nHistorically, the commentary is of special interest for its detailed reference to the departure of Abbot Ceolfrith from Wearmouth-Jarrow in June 716 AD, which has allowed scholarship to firmly date the work and explore some potential links to the turbulent political scene in Northumbria that marked that decade. This English translation is the first rendering of the Latin into another language. The translation is preceded by a substantial introduction that places the work in the context of Bede’s oeuvre, discusses his sources and exegetical methods, and offers a reading of the work’s contemporary context in the light of current scholarly debate.

Jane Simon The Domestic Interior And The Self In Contemporary Photography
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Jane Simon
EAN: 9780367543402
Categoria: Libri e riviste
By carefully conceptualising the domestic in relation to the self and the photographic, this book offers a unique contribution to both photography theory and criticism, and life-narrative studies. Jane Simon brings together two critical practices into a new conversation, arguing that artists who harness domestic photography can advance a more expansive understanding of the autobiographical.\n\nExploring the idea that self-representation need not equate to self-portraiture or involve the human form, artists from around the globe are examined, including Rinko Kawauchi, Catherine Opie, Dayanita Singh, Moyra Davey, and Elina Brotherus, who maintain a personal gaze at domestic detail. By treating the representation of interiors, domestic objects, and the very practice of photographic seeing and framing as autobiographical gestures, this book reframes the relationship between interiors and exteriors, public and private, and insists on the importance of domestic interiors to understandings of the self and photography.\n\nThe book will be of interest to scholars working in photographic history and theory, art history, and visual studies.

Sarah Parker Form And Modernity In Women’s Poetry, 1895–1922: A Line Of Her Own
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Sarah Parker
EAN: 9781032348667
Categoria: Libri e riviste
While W. B. Yeats’s influential account of the ‘Tragic Generation’ claims that most fin-de-siècle poets died, or at least stopped writing, shortly after 1900, this book explodes this narrative by attending to the twentieth-century poetry produced by women poets Alice Meynell, Michael Field (Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper), Dollie Radford, and Katharine Tynan. While primarily associated with the late nineteenth century, these poets were active in the twentieth century, but their later writing is overlooked in modernist-dominated studies, partly due to this poetry’s adherence to traditional form. This book reveals that these poets, far from being irrelevant to modernity, used these established forms to address contemporary concerns, including suffrage, sexuality, motherhood, and the First World War. The chapters focus on Meynell’s manipulations of metre to contemplate temporality and literary tradition; Michael Field’s use of blank verse to portray the conflicted modern woman; Radford’s adaptation of the aesthetic song-like lyric to tackle the experience of the city, urban crime, and suffrage; and Tynan’s employment of the ballad to soothe bereaved mothers during the First World War. This book ultimately shows that traditional forms played a vital role in shaping mature women poets’ responses to modernity, illuminating debates about form, tradition, and gender in twentieth-century poetry.

Storying The Ecocatastrophe: Contemporary Narratives About The Environmental Collapse
Lafeltrinelli.it
EAN: 9781032726946
Categoria: Libri e riviste
How do writers and artists represent the climate catastrophe so that their works stir audiences to political action or at least raise their environmental awareness without, however, appearing didactic? Storying the Ecocatastrophe attempts to answer this question while interrogating the potential of narrative to become a viable political force. The collection of essays achieves this by examining the representational strategies and ideological goals of contemporary cultural productions about climate change. These productions have been created across different genres, such as the traditional novel, dance performance, solarpunk, economic report, collage, and space opera, as well as across different languages and cultures. The volume’s twelve chapters demonstrate that rising temperatures, erratic weather, extinction of species, depletion of resources, and coastal erosion and flooding are an effect of our abusive relationship with nature. They also show that our use of nuclear power, extraction of natural resources and extensive farming, including heavy reliance on pesticides, intersect with intrahuman violence, as fleshed out by heteropatriarchy, racism, (neo)colonialism, and capitalism. They finally argue that human activity has indirectly contributed to other contemporary crises, namely the migrant crisis and the spread of contagious diseases such as Covid-19.

Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Jens-ivar Nergård
EAN: 9781032053554
Categoria: Libri e riviste
This book sets out to document and analyse the Sámi narrative tradition. It considers the worldviews inherent in the narratives and links them to traditional cosmology and other cultural expressions (such as joik and duodji). The chapters address a variety of issues, including care for children, the perception of nature, disputes over land and natural resources, local justice, the spiritual world of everyday life, and Læstadianism. Sketching Sámi history and the cultural context of storytelling, Nergård also considers the modern challenge for the narrative tradition. Drawing on long-term fieldwork and research, the volume is valuable reading for Indigenous studies and disciplines such as anthropology.

Tamás Kende Class War Or Race War: The Inner Fronts Of Soviet Society During And After The Second World War
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Tamás Kende
EAN: 9781032577333
Categoria: Libri e riviste
Class War or Race War is more than an anti-thesis of the master narrative regarding the Soviet state antisemitism. Kende not only refutes the originally anti-Communist myth of the systemic nature of (state) socialism, but tries to re-, and deconstruct, the origins of this myth.\n\nWith intensive use of historical documents, memoirs and the related historiography, the book attempts to make historical sense from the myth it intends to refute. Kende goes beyond the contemporary perceptions of the “Jewish question” and antisemitism, and with close reading of original documents, reconstructs the real frontlines of the Soviet society of the 1940s, which were not constructed along identity-political lines. The book reinvests the long-forgotten understanding of social classes in an allegedly classless and monolithic society. The spontaneous formations of the actual frontlines in the hinterland, or on the actual fronts (battlefields, in the Red Army) lacked the participants’ class consciousness, thus its occurrences in the form of conflict producing historical records were recorded as acts of antisemitism. As the book advocates, Jews could have been found on both sides of the inner frontlines of Soviet society during and right after WWII.\n\nAn insightful read for scholars of Soviet history that presents a bold and challenging interpretation of the regime and its flaws—both perceived and real.
