Antonio Pietrangeli once stated that “women are the protagonists” of his time, the postwar period in Italy. In a society in upheaval, on the cusp on the sexual revolution which brought both legislative and lifestyle changes for both genders, he posed the question to himself and his collaborators, how do we represent the reality of women in Italy today?

Pietrangeli’s commitment to realism should not come as a surprise since his roots in cinema formed at the Centro Sperimentale, working alongside directors and screenwriters such as Roberto Rossellini, Luchino Visconti, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Sergio Amidei, to name only a few. In the choral atmosphere of the postwar period in Italian cinema, Pietrangeli’s voice was uniquely feminine.

This volume begs the question, to what degree can we call Pietrangeli a feminist? Is it enough to represent women or should the spectators expect more from a feminist representation of women? Through this examination of his career as a film critic as well as his ten feature films and two shorts, in Antonio Pietrangeli, The Director of Women we will dissect the tension between the male director and the female protagonist to investigate the claim that Pietrangeli was, in fact, a feminist. With varying degrees of success, Pietrangeli shows himself to be an ally to the women he represents on screen.

Antonio's Devils deals both historically and theoretically with the origins of modern Hebrew and Yiddish literature by tracing the progress of a few remarkable writers who, for various reasons and in various ways, cited Scripture for their own purpose, as Antonio's "devil," Shylock, does in The Merchant of Venice.

By examining the work of key figures in the early history of Jewish literature through the prism of their allusions to classical Jewish texts, the book focuses attention on the magnificent and highly complex strategies the maskilim employed to achieve their polemical and ideological goals. Dauber uses this methodology to examine foundational texts by some of the Jewish Enlightenment's most interesting and important authors, reaching new and often surprising conclusions.

Antony and Cleopatra (1607) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. Inspired by Thomas North’s translation of Plutarch’s Lives—a series of biographies on influential figures of the ancient world—Shakespeare wrote Antony and Cleopatra sometime between 1599 and 1601. Often considered a sequel of sorts to his earlier play Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra has served as source material for countless film and television adaptations. “Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch / Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.” For his wit and wordplay alone, William Shakespeare is often considered the greatest writer to ever work in the English language. Where he truly triumphs, however, is in his ability to portray complex human emotions, how these emotions contribute to relationships, and how these relationships interact with politics, culture, and religion. As the Roman Republic faces threats both foreign and domestic, Mark Antony—a triumvir alongside Lepidus and Octavius—abandons his duties to remain in Alexandria with his lover, Queen Cleopatra of Egypt. When the demands of state become impossible to ignore any longer, he returns to Rome. There, he is encouraged to marry Octavia, the sister of his fellow ruler. At the risk of rupturing their fragile relationship, he consents, enraging Cleopatra. As conflict with Octavius forces Antony out of the triumvirate, he returns to his lover to rule over Egypt. But Rome and revenge are never too far away.

Volume 1

From Antraquinonoid Pigments to Color Fundamentals

With contributions on various industrially important dyes, inorganic and organic pigments, on color fundamentals and colorants in various application systems (building materials, coatings, cosmetics, plastics, printing inks)

• A comprehensive overview on all important dyes, inorganic and organic pigments supplemented by information on all relevant applications and color fundamentals
• The chapters are clearly structured and arranged in alphabetical order in the 3-volumes.

O propósito deste traballo é contribuír ó estudio lingüístico sobre os nomes de persoa na Galicia altomedieval. O corpus está formado por documentos éditos de Sobrado, Carboeiro, Samos, Xubia e Santiago, situados cronolóxicamente entre os ss. VIII e XII. Fíxose necesaria a confrontación cos orixinais, dado o número de erros presentes nas edicións. Tras tira-los nomes propios, contamos cuns 10.000 cadeas onomásticas, o que supón ó redor das 18.000 ocorrencias.

A partir deste material realizouse o estudio sobre o sistema de denominación persoal e a súa evolución: constatouse o paso da nominación única á utilización de segundos nomes, constituídos maiormente por outros nomes persoais en xenitivo ou cun sufixo patronímico (-iz, mod. -ez); en menor medida empregáronse sobrenomes (procedentes de alcumes, hipocorísticos e designativos profesionais) e nomes de orixe (topónimos e étnicos).

A seguir, considerouse a composición etimolóxica do material onomástico, reflexo da historia social e cultural: a escasa pervivencia do elemento prerromano, a entrada dos nomes latinos ou transmitidos polo latín (gregos e hebreos), a influencia do cristianismo, a extraordinaria difusión da onomástica xermánica e a débil repercusión da árabe. En cada un destes capítulos inclúese información estatística que reflicte as respectivas proporcións, os nomes máis usados, a evolución cronolóxica das formas, etc. Despois elaboramos un diccionario cos materiais onomásticos, agrupando as variantes baixo unha única forma normalizada; o número total de entradas ronda as 2140. En cada unha delas realizamos un estudio particularizado, que inclúe información etimolóxica e, de se-lo caso, fonética e histórica, así como outras posibles referencias bibliográficas. Por último, inclúese unha relación das modificacións feitas ás fontes revisadas, de tódalas formas tratadas e da bibliografía.

O arquipélago da Madeira, desabitado no momento do seu descobrimento em 1418, foi povoado e colonizado a partir de Portugal Continental. Dada a grande importância estratégica e económica (açúcar) das ilhas, participaram neste povoamento comerciantes europeus de Itália, França, Espanha, Inglaterra e Alemanha assim como escravos trazidos das Canárias e de Africa. Conserva-se uma importante documentação histórica (demográfica e administrativa) cujo conhecimento nos permite a interpretação de factos socio-históricos e antroponímicos. A presente publicação prossegue dois fins: pôr à disposição do investigador da história ou da antroponímia madeirense (e portuguesa) um instrumento de trabalho básico assim como uma introdução geral à antroponímia madeirense (e portuguesa) dos séculos XV e XVI. A partir da informatização da documentação histórica correspondente elaborou-se um repertório geral de todas as pessoas e elementos nominativos que permite a sua fácil localização documentária. Estatísticas sistemáticas de todas as fontes facilitam estudos antroponímicos e podem servir de base comparativa com eventuais outros inventários deste tipo. São tratados individualmente os nomes em primeira, segunda e terceira posição da ›cadeia onomástica‹, sempre por ordem alfabética e por frequência. No seu estudo sobre a »Antroponímia primitiva da Madeira«, Naidea Nunes resume a situação antroponímica do arquipélago a qual corresponde nas suas grandes linhas à de Portugal em geral, a individualização se nota através de certos apelidos, muitas vezes de origem estrangeira, característicos da Madeira. Além desta contribuição europeia, é de grande interesse uma eventual diferenciação entre camadas sociais assim como a successão de modas antroponímicas a partir de um stock antroponímico à primeira vista relativamente pobre ou melhor repetitivo. A antroponímia primitiva da Madeira reflecte assim um nova sociedade em estado de constituição, ao mesmo tempo reflecte as tendências gerais da antroponímia portuguesa da época dos Descobrimentos. Esta publicação contribui assim duplamente para um futuro dicionário histórico (ou uma história) da antroponímia portuguesa.

"A true journey into the human psyche."—Cairo Magazine

The tale of one man’s quest and survival in the Sahara Desert, set in the framework of Tuareg mythology

A Tuareg youth ventures into trackless desert on a life-threatening quest to find the father he remembers only as a shadow from his childhood, but the spirit world frustrates and tests his resolve. For a time, he is rewarded with the Eden of a lost oasis, but eventually, as new settlers crowd in, its destiny mimics the rise of human civilization. Over the sands and the years, the hero is pursued by a lover who matures into a sibyl-like priestess.

The Libyan Tuareg author Ibrahim al-Koni, who has earned a reputation as a major figure in Arabic literature with his many novels and collections of short stories, has used Tuareg folklore about Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld, to craft a novel that is both a lyrical evocation of the desert’s beauty and a chilling narrative in which thirst, incest, patricide, animal metamorphosis, and human sacrifice are more than plot devices. The novel concludes with Tuareg sayings collected by the author in his search for the historical Anubis from matriarchs and sages during trips to Tuareg encampments, and from inscriptions in the ancient Tifinagh script in caves and on tattered manuscripts.

In this novel, fantastic mythology becomes universal, specific, and modern.

In addition to the greetings of Federal Minister of Justice Brigitte Zypries and Staub's grandson Hans-Hermann Neustadt, this volume documents the lectures held at the colloquium in March 2006 mainly in extended form. In addition to unpublished photographs, this volume also includes facsimile prints of Staub's works, an obituary by Staub's brother-in-law Arthur Schindler, which up until now was practically unobtainable, as well as an extract from Staub's leaving certificate from the Friedrich Wilhelms University of Berlin.

Björn Hofmeister’s biography of Heinrich Claß is devoted to one of the most influential representatives of the "national opposition" that shaped extra-parliamentary politics of the nationalist Right between Imperial Germany and the Third Reich. Claß, who chaired the Pan-German League between 1908 and 1939, was a lawyer by profession and became active in the antisemitic and völkisch movement around the turn of the century.　 Claß was demanding the implementation of völkisch dictatorship long before World War I, which he understood to be the foundation of cultural, ethnic, and political renewal of German society. His demands for territorial expansion of the German Empire that would match the ethnic distribution of "Germanness" in Central Europe as well as imperial interests as a great power made him the spokesman of Germany´s radical war aims movement between 1914 and 1918.

Following the downfall of Imperial Germany as a result of revolution and democratization he remained a major player in the networks of the Weimar Republic’s radical Right. In a long-running campaign, he helped to get his friend, chairman of the German National People’s Party (DNVP) and founding member of the Pan-German League, Alfred Hugenberg, appointed as chairman of the DNVP in 1928. Following Hugenberg’s takeover of what was Germany’s largest conservative party at the time, Claß turned the Pan-German League into a propaganda agency promoting Hugenberg as a candidate for the office of Reich Chancellor and, subsequently, as the head of a future bourgeois dictatorship cabinet.

The DNVP’s following cooperation with the Nazis, however, shifted the power balance within the radical Right in times of massive political change and, in January 1933, ultimately led to an alliance between the German Nationals and the Nazis in the formation of the Hitler cabinet, which enforced competition and rivalry with the notables of the radical Right, but also implemented major political, antisemitic and racist points that Claß had been demanding for decades.

For the first time, Björn Hofmeister explains Claß’s role within the radical Right from Imperial to Nazi Germany in full detail, embedding his biography within the context of his social background, ideological socialization, academic training, professional practice, and legal thought, all of which shaped his political concepts of a radical bourgeois dictatorship government.

Focusing on late nineteenth- and twentieth-century stories of detection, policing, and espionage by British and South Asian writers, Yumna Siddiqi presents an original and compelling exploration of the cultural anxieties created by imperialism. She suggests that while colonial writers use narratives of intrigue to endorse imperial rule, postcolonial writers turn the generic conventions and topography of the fiction of intrigue on its head, launching a critique of imperial power that makes the repressive and emancipatory impulses of postcolonial modernity visible.

Siddiqi devotes the first part of her book to the colonial fiction of Arthur Conan Doyle and John Buchan, in which the British regime's preoccupation with maintaining power found its voice. The rationalization of difference, pronouncedly expressed through the genre's strategies of representation and narrative resolution, helped to reinforce domination and, in some cases, allay fears concerning the loss of colonial power.

In the second part, Siddiqi argues that late twentieth-century South Asian writers also underscore the state's insecurities, but unlike British imperial writers, they take a critical view of the state's authoritarian tendencies. Such writers as Amitav Ghosh, Michael Ondaatje, Arundhati Roy, and Salman Rushdie use the conventions of detective and spy fiction in creative ways to explore the coercive actions of the postcolonial state and the power dynamics of a postcolonial New Empire.

Drawing on the work of leading theorists of imperialism such as Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, and the Subaltern Studies historians, Siddiqi reveals how British writers express the anxious workings of a will to maintain imperial power in their writing. She also illuminates the ways South Asian writers portray the paradoxes of postcolonial modernity and trace the ruses and uses of reason in a world where the modern marks a horizon not only of hope but also of economic, military, and ecological disaster.

This book explores how states and traits of anxiety are reflected in the style and structure of certain works by three key figures of modern Scandinavian literature: August Strindberg, Inger Christensen, Karl Ove Knausgård. On the basis of particular literary analyses, it develops a literary phenomenology of anxiety as well as a hermeneutical theory of anxiety that considers the ways in which anxiety has been represented in various genres of modern Scandinavian literature from the last three centuries. Whereas the former uncovers the ways in which anxiety is reflected in literary form and style, the latter interprets the relationship between author, text, and reader as well as the effects of genre.

As Strindberg’s works capture the tensions between existential indeterminism and naturalistic determinism and make way for negative aesthetic pleasure, poetry such as Christensen’s challenges scientistic and psychiatric conceptions of anxiety and instigates a change in how humans conduct themselves in relation to the experience of anxiety. Finally, Knausgård’s autofictive work gives voice to the socially anxious self of late modernity and incites moments of self-intensification and reorganizes the fragile self of contemporary society.

In this way, it becomes clear that literature is an outstanding archive of representations and transformations in the cultural history of anxiety. Literature is an aesthetic medium of expression and reflection that represents anxiety in a number of ways that may enrich our understanding of anxiety today. This work thus contributes to cultural and literary scholarship that contests the subjugation of anxiety to a scientific world view and aims to expose the imaginative and creative dimensions of anxiety that are often ignored in contemporary public discourse and policy.

Anxiety can be overwhelming for children with autism. It doesn’t need to be.

The anxiety levels commonly found in children with autism affect social skills, memory, learning, and attention span—and often lead to meltdowns. Those who live or work with kids on the spectrum are acutely aware of how disruptive anxiety can be. However, we are rarely provided with clear guidance on how to manage this anxiety. This book bridges that gap.

Through his twenty-plus years as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Lynch has devoted his career to relieving distress in kids with autism and related disorders. Lynch identifies five factors that are commonly known to elicit anxiety in children with autism and breaks down how to tackle each topic in a manageable and effective way. These factors include:

With this clear and comprehensive guide, parents, teachers, and therapists can take the first crucial step towards managing anxiety, relieving distress, and unlocking potential.

Anxiety, Modern Society, and the Critical Method interrogates the historical intersections of political economy, technology, and anxiety. By analyzing and building upon the tools developed by critical theorists to diagnose the symptoms of modern life—such as alienation, anomie, the Protestant ethic, and repression—Joel Michael Crombez convincingly argues for a revitalization of critical social science to better confront the anxiety of life in modern societies.

While anxiety typically falls under the purview of psychology and its biomedical approach to treatment, here anxiety is situated within the totalizing logics of modern society. As such, Crombez provides a compelling, interdisciplinary roadmap to diagnose and treat anxiety—which he calls critical socioanalysis—that accounts for the psychosocial complexity of its production.

A gorgeously illustrated, sparingly written story about the often complicated feelings brought on by anxiousness, perfect for helping young readers identify this complex emotion.

The little girl in this picture book would love to dance, sing, and play with her friends, but she is struggling with anxious feelings that get in the way. Sometimes she feels scared and sometimes she feels shy. Sometimes the world seems too loud, too fast, and everything is so overwhelming she could just scream. There is no easy fix for feeling anxious, but by the end of this story she learns to ask for help and finds small ways to feel better.

Written from a child’s perspective, Anxious pairs evocative art with simple text to illustrate some of the ways anxiousness can be experienced, providing an empathetic and compassionate framework for helping readers understand this feeling.

A note to readers adds context and explains in more detail what anxiousness can look like, provides suggestions for coping skills, and resources for professional help.
