L'étrange suicide de l'Europe

Autor: Douglas Murray

Número de Páginas: 544

Ce livre est le récit d’une longue enquête. Depuis la fin des années 1960 jusqu’à aujourd’hui, des vagues migratoires successives touchent tous les pays d’Europe occidentale. Pour en mesurer l’impact, tant démographique que culturel, Douglas Murray a voyagé pendant deux ans dans la quasi-totalité des pays de l’Union. De Malmö à Lampedusa et de Londres aux îles grecques, il a rencontré et interrogé migrants, policiers, juges, médecins, responsables politiques et humanitaires. Non seulement le continent change à grande vitesse mais Murray constate partout le même phénomène : En matière migratoire, les responsables politiques européens préfèrent toujours les positions généreuses, compatissantes et ouvertes car elles leur permettent des bénéfices médiatiques immédiats. Ils savent bien pourtant qu’elles conduisent, partout, à des problèmes nationaux à long terme. Et comme Murray a pu le constater, ces problèmes commencent à se voir dangereusement. D’ici la moitié de ce siècle, il est plus que probable que la Chine ressemblera encore à la Chine, l’Inde à l’Inde... Mais, au rythme auquel elle change, l’Europe ne pourra plus...

La palabra facticia

Autor: Albert Chillón

Número de Páginas: 781

A caballo entre la literatura, el periodismo y la comunicación audiovisual, muy distintos modos expresivos integran la palabra facticia contemporánea, cuya vocación mimética busca dar cuenta, por vía testimonial o documental, de las realidades en curso. Quince años después de la publicación de 'Literatura y periodismo. Una tradición de relaciones promiscuas, aquel volumen ha crecido para convertirse en el que el lector tiene entre manos: no una mera segunda edición, sino una versión genuina, notablemente ampliada y puesta al día. El lector podrá encontrar buena parte del viejo libro en el nuevo, así pues, y conocer tanto las tradiciones heredadas como las tendencias más recientes. Pero la novedad y la médula de esta versión está en que el lector también podrá adentrarse en una sección teórica inicial que supera con creces la original.

La extraña muerte de Europa

Autor: Douglas Murray

Número de Páginas: 434

Con una visión aguda y bien documentada, Douglas Murray viaja por toda Europa para examinar de primera mano la inmigración masiva, la desconfianza y desilusión de un continente que se enfrenta a su propia desaparición. Desde las costas de Lampedusa a los campos migrantes de Grecia, y desde Colonia a Londres, estudia de forma crítica los factores que se han unido para incapacitar a los Europeos a resistir a su alteración como sociedad. En este libro trata los lamentables fallos del multiculturalismo, de la política de Angela Merkel sobre la emigración, de los fallos de la repatriación y del sentimiento de culpa occidental, descubriendo el malestar existente en el propio corazón de la cultura Europea y escuchando los relatos de aquellos que han llegado desde tierras lejanas. Douglas Murray estudia a fondo las causas de este fenómeno, tan vigente y tan dramático, su realidad presente, los proble-mas que tal situación conlleva y sus posibles consecuencias, dejando que sea el lector el que extraiga sus propias conclusiones de un fenómeno social tan candente. «Douglas S. Murray ha pintado en 'The Strange Death of Europe' un cuadro dolorosamente lúcido sobre una Europa...

La corresponsal

Autor: Cristina De Stefano

Número de Páginas: 276

La historia de la primera mujer periodista que fue corresponsal de guerra "Soy un dolor en el culo, lo sé". Su famoso mal carácter ha oscurecido a veces el talento y la determinación que convirtieron a Oriana Fallaci en la periodista y escritora italiana más famosa del siglo XX. Nacida en una familia pobre de antifascistas, participó en la resistencia contra la ocupación nazi, creció con rapidez y, nada más terminar la secundaria, se presentó en la editorial de un periódico. En pocos años se consolidó como una gran profesional dentro de un negocio todavía dominado por los hombres. En los años 50 viajó por toda América llegando a ser amiga de las estrellas de Hollywood y los astronautas de la NASA. Se mudó a Nueva York en los años 60, el centro de la comunicación global. Fue a Vietnam en 1967 para, finalmente empezar a escribir sobre política, como deseaba. Se enfrentó a los políticos y personajes más importantes de la época en sus afiladas entrevistas ? Henry Kissinger, Gadafi, Husayn de Jordania, Yasser Arafat, Federico Fellini, Indira Gandhi# ?, lo que le valió de trampolín para seguir en el periodismo y escribir sus grandes novelas de madurez, de las...

This volume collects articles that tackle the concept of contradiction, practices of contradicting and lived contradictions from a number of relevant perspectives and assembles contributions from linguistics, literary studies, philosophy, political science, and media studies.

Translating Travel

Autor: Loredana Polezzi

Número de Páginas: 435

Translating Travel examines the relationship between travel writing and translation, asking what happens when books travel beyond the narrow confines of one genre, one literary system and one culture. The volume takes as its starting point the marginal position of contemporary Italian travel writing in the Italian literary system, and proposes a comparative reading of originals and translations designed to highlight the varying reception of texts in different cultures. Two main themes in the book are the affinity between the representations produced by travel and the practices of translation, and the complex links between travel writing and genres such as ethnography, journalism, autobiography and fiction. Individual chapters are devoted to Italian travellers' accounts of Tibet and their English translations; the hybridization of journalism and travel writing in the works of Oriana Fallaci; Italo Calvino's sublimation of travel writing in the stylized fiction of Le città invisibili; and the complex network of literary references which marked the reception of Claudio Magris's Danubio in different cultures.

Re-ligación

Autor: Immaculada Concepció Vallès Guinjoan

Número de Páginas: 82

La necesidad de escribir se convirtió en una parte esencial de mí en mi infancia. A través de los relatos, los estudios, los cursos que he escrito, se han ido reflejando mis creencias y mi fe. Fe en la vida por excelencia. Fe que impulsa al ser a sobreponerse a los retos que se le presentan en la vida. La escritura siempre ha sido un medio de conectar con mi inconsciente, mi alma, estableciendo un diálogo intimo entre mi esencia y mi existencia, entre el mundo subjetivo y el objetivo, haciéndome tocar de pies al suelo, permitiéndome paliar con satisfacción los momentos del día a día; que en sí son la verdadera existencia. En este sentir profundo del ser vinculado a los otros y al mundo; el que os presento en este libro: “re-ligación, dentro de la ilusión, el sentimiento religioso en el mundo actual”; el que re-liga, el “yo” con los “otros” y lo “espiritual”; dando razón de fuerza a la “fe” que impulsa al ser hacia su centralidad.

Homo viator

Autor: Pepe Pérez-muelas

Número de Páginas: 408

«Homo viator cuestiona el mito de que somos una especie sedentaria. Nuestra condición es nómada, no dejamos nunca de movernos, y el viaje perpetuo explica el mundo. Decir esto es fácil. Contarlo con la sabiduría, la amenidad y el estilo de Pérez-Muelas es, simplemente, genial».Sergio del Molino «Homo Viator es un auténtico festín para el viajero curtido, el aventurero, el amante de la historia y para quien disfruta viajando desde el sofá. Impresionante». María Belmonte El ser humano se hizo viajero para sobrevivir. Lleva impreso en su genética el movimiento, la necesidad de ir más allá de lo que alcanza su vista. Homo viator trata sobre esos hombres y mujeres que lo dejaron todo en pos de lo desconocido, en un tiempo en el que los mapas no representaban la verdad de la geografía; narra la historia de la humanidad a través de sus viajes, desde la cotidianidad de las crónicas hasta las heroicas gestas, un continuado trasvase entre culturas y civilizaciones, un diálogo en presente con las grandes rutas del ayer. De la mano de Urbano Monti —geógrafo del siglo XVI y artífice de un visionario planisferio—, no solo cruzaremos los más salvajes y exóticos...

Biographies and Autobiographies in Modern Italy: a Festschrift for John Woodhouse

Autor: Martin Mclaughlin

Número de Páginas: 399

"Critical interest in biography and autobiography has never been higher. However, while life-writing flourishes in the UK, in Italy it is a less prominent genre. The twelve essays collected here are written against this backdrop, and address issues in biographical and autobiographical writing in Italy from the later nineteenth century to the present, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between individual lives and life-writing and the wider social and political history of Italy. The majority of essays focus on well-known writers (D'Annunzio, Svevo, Bontempelli, Montale, Levi, Calvino, Eco and Fallaci), and their varying anxieties about autobiographical writing in their work. This picture is rounded out by a series of studies of similar themes in lesser known figures: the critic Enrico Nencioni, the Welsh-Italian painter Llewellyn Lloyd and Italian writers and journalists covering the Spanish Civil War. The contributors, all specialists in their fields, are Antonella Braida, Charles Burdett, Jane Everson, John Gatt Rutter, Robert Gordon, Gwyn Griffith, Peter Hainsworth, Martin McLaughlin, Gianni Oliva, Giuliana Pieri, and Jon Usher. The volume is dedicated to John...

Terrorism

Autor: Joseba Zulaika

Número de Páginas: 287

In counterterrorism circles, the standard response to questions about the possibility of future attacks is the terse one-liner: “Not if, but when.” This mantra supposedly conveys a realistic approach to the problem, but, as Joseba Zulaika argues in Terrorism, it functions as a self-fulfilling prophecy. By distorting reality to fit their own worldview, the architects of the War on Terror prompt the behavior they seek to prevent—a twisted logic that has already played out horrifically in Iraq. In short, Zulaika contends, counterterrorism has become pivotal in promoting terrorism. Exploring the blind spots of counterterrorist doctrine, Zulaika takes readers on a remarkable intellectual journey. He contrasts the psychological insight of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood with The 9/11 Commission Report, plumbs the mindset of terrorists in works by Orianna Fallaci and Jean Genet, maps the continuities between the cold war and the fight against terrorism, and analyzes the case of a Basque terrorist who tried to return to civilian life. Zulaika’s argument is powerful, inventive, and rich with insights and ideas that provide a new and sophisticated perspective on the War on Terror.

Otherwise Occupied

Autor: Dorothy M. Figueira

Número de Páginas: 175

Tracing the historical development of recent identity-based trends in literary theory to their roots in structuralism, Dorothy M. Figueira questions the extent to which theories and pedagogies of alterity have actually enabled us to engage the Other. She tracks academic attempts to deal with alterity from their inception in critical thought in the 1960s to the present. Focusing on multiculturalism and postcolonialism as professional and institutional practices, Figueira examines how such theories and pedagogies informed the academic and public discourse regarding September 11. She also investigates the theories and pedagogies of alterity as crucial elements in the bureaucratization of diversity within academe and discusses their impact on affirmative action.

Trouble on the Far Right

Autor: Maik Fielitz , Laura Lotte Laloire

Número de Páginas: 213

In Europe, the far right is gaining momentum on the streets and in parliaments. By taking a close look at contemporary practices and strategies of far-right actors, the present volume explores this right-ward shift of European publics and politics. It assembles analyses of changing mobilization patterns and their effects on the local, national and transnational level. International experts, among them Tamir Bar-On, Liz Fekete, Matthew Kott, and Graham Macklin, scrutinize new forms of coalition building, mainstreaming and transnationalization tendencies as aspects of diversified far-right politics in Europe.

The Riches of Intercultural Communication

Número de Páginas: 234

How do you react to an intercultural situation that you do not understand? There are four options. You wait until it’s over. You adjust your behavior and “do as the natives do.” You blame the other as strange and stupid. Or you start to wonder by thinking about yourself and the other(s). This last option is called a Rich Point. This book provides an overview of research into intercultural communication. It is not a handbook, but offers nine studies that illustrate the reflection process from different scholarly perspectives. The approaches in this volume are the interaction approach, contrastive approach and cultural representational approach. Volume 2 offers nine additional chapters exemplifying the multilingualism approach and transfer approach including research into intercultural competences. Together, the chapters illustrate the essence of the essentialism and non-essentialism debate regarding diversity and inclusion. Have you ever found yourself in an intercultural situation you did not understand? How did you react? Did you wonder if you could have reacted differently? What have you learnt that could support you in similar future occasions? Test your knowledge of...

Not My Words

Autor: Ofer Feldman

Número de Páginas: 268

This edited collection of studies brings together a number of internationally distinguished scholars to provide a comprehensive and detailed examination of the usage and function of quotations and citations in political rhetoric in a variety of countries around the globe, including North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Chapters consider quotations and citations as important (at times unavoidable) elements of argumentative and persuasive speech (and writing). They examine quotations, on the one hand, as forms of a direct way of providing evidence to support the speaker’s (or writer’s) arguments, statements, or assumptions, that their speech (or writing) is within an already established larger claim, enabling them to say (or write) something about it with authority. On the other hand, chapters maintain that quotations and citations can be also used as a powerful device to refute them. That is, the speaker will quote something in order to knock it down i.e., use it as a springboard to express doubts regarding the original utterance, to criticize, disagree, or ridicule the speaker, or to present the contradictory position. Contributions to this volume explore ...

The Douglas Murray Collection

Autor: Douglas Murray

Número de Páginas: 845

Enjoy two Sunday Times bestsellers in one in The Douglas Murray Collection, two controversial and devastatingly honest depictions of our world today. The Strange Death of Europe: This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. He ends with two visions of Europe – one hopeful, one pessimistic – which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

Pasolini Requiem

Autor: Barth David Schwartz

Número de Páginas: 721

Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–75) was one of the most important Italian intellectuals of the post–World War II era. An astonishing polymath—poet, novelist, literary critic, political polemicist, screenwriter, and film director—he exerted profound influence on Italian culture up to his untimely death at the age of fifty-three. This revised edition of what the New York Times Book Review has called “the standard Pasolini biography” introduces the artist to a new generation of readers. Based on extensive interviews with those who knew Pasolini, both friends and enemies, admirers and detractors, Pasolini Requiem chronicles his growth from poet in the provinces to Italy’s leading “civil poet”; his flight to Rome in 1950; the scandalous success of his two novels and political writing; and his transition to film, where he started as a contributor to the golden age of Italian cinema and ended with the shocking Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Pasolini’s tragic and still unsolved murder has remained a subject of contentious debate for four decades. The enduring fascination with who committed the crime—and why—reflects his vital stature in Italy’s political and social...

The Bibles of the Far Right

Autor: Hannah M. Strømmen

Número de Páginas: 345

The Bibles of the Far Right is about a far-right worldview that has taken hold in contemporary Europe. It focuses on the role Bibles have come to play in this worldview. Starting with the case of far-right terrorism in Norway in 2011, the study argues that particular perceptions of "the Bible" and particular uses of biblical texts have been significant in calls to "protect" Europe against Islam. This study proposes new ways to understand political Bible-use today in order to respond to violence inspired by biblical texts.

The Only Woman in the Room

Autor: Pnina Lahav

Número de Páginas: 376

A feminist biography of the only woman to become prime minister of Israel In this authoritative and empathetic biography, Pnina Lahav reexamines the life of Golda Meir (1898–1978) through a feminist lens, focusing on her recurring role as a woman standing alone among men. The Only Woman in the Room is the first book to contend with Meir’s full identity as a woman, Jew, Zionist leader, and one of the founders of Israel, providing a richer portrait of her persona and legacy. Meir, Lahav shows, deftly deflected misogyny as she traveled the path to becoming Israel’s fourth, and only female, prime minister, from 1969 to 1974. Lahav revisits the youthful encounters that forged Meir’s passion for socialist Zionism and reassesses her decision to separate from her husband and leave her children in the care of others. Enduring humiliation and derision from her colleagues, Meir nevertheless led in establishing Israel as a welfare state where social security, workers’ rights, and maternity leave became law. Lahav looks at the challenges that beset Meir’s premiership, particularly the disastrous Yom Kippur War, which led to her resignation and withdrawal from politics, as well as...

Beyond Secularism and Jihad?

Autor: Peter D. Beaulieu

Número de Páginas: 479

Peter D. Beaulieu examines the challenge posed by—and to—modernity and historic Islam as they encounter one another. He compares the Western separation of Church and state with the unitary Islamic State, and explores the proposed cultural and societal principles of the Second Vatican Council as potentially influencing long-term events in both arenas. Beaulieu’s research is comprehensive and richly documented, yet offers an accessible triangular inquiry into the mosque, the manger, and modernity. By restoring a place at the table for Trinitarian Christianity alongside the engulfing monotheism of Islam and the alternative skepticism of Western rationalism, this inquiry broadens the pallet of inter-religious and intercultural contact points. Beyond Secularism and Jihad? provides balanced attention to the differences as well as the similarities between Christianity, Islam, and modernity. An emerging theme is natural law, which is universal and intrinsic to all mankind and not confined to competing theologies. Neglected in the West that it helped create, natural law might contribute to the needed “grammar” for dialogue between the citizens in the West and the followers of...

The Archipelago

Autor: John Foot

Número de Páginas: 513

'An enjoyable, highly readable history that manages to bring murky, often fiendishly complex events into the light' Sunday Times Italy emerged from the Second World War in ruins. Divided, invaded and economically broken, it was a nation that some people claimed had ceased to exist. And yet, as rural society disappeared almost overnight, by the 1960s, it could boast the fastest-growing economy in the world. In The Archipelago, historian John Foot chronicles Italy's tumultuous history from the post-war period to the present day. From the silent assimilation of fascists into society after 1945 to the artistic peak of neorealist cinema, he examines both the corrupt and celebrated sides of the country. While often portrayed as a failed state on the margins of Europe, Italy has instead been at the centre of innovation and change – a political laboratory. This new history tells the fascinating story of a country always marked by scandal but with the constant ability to re-invent itself. Comprising original research and lively insights, The Archipelago chronicles the crises and modernisations of more than seventy years of post-war Italy, from its fields, factories, squares and housing...

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A WATERSTONES POLITICS PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR, 2018 The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society.

The volume offers a new critical reflection on the use of the Bible in contemporary cultural and political debates in the Nordic countries. In Nordic Lutheran societies, the Bible has been perceived as a basis of religion and social cohesion. Whereas such religious and confessional factors are well-researched vis-à-vis the historical genesis of the Nordic welfare states, the focus here is on public use of the Bible in debates of today.
