Italian Regionalism and the Federal Challenge

Free Download Italian Regionalism and the Federal Challenge: Reconciling Economic Regionalism and Solidarity
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031315421 | 281 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2.3 MB
This monograph thoroughly illustrates the debate on federalism and regionalism as it emerged in Italy in the years preceding the unification of 1861 and then again in the early 1990s, a debate mainly centred on the deep socio-economic differences between the North and the South of the country. Torn between centripetal and centrifugal forces, the Italian regional model implemented with the 1948 constitution and strengthened in 2001 provokes questions that intersect with topical debates engaging scholars globally, potentially stimulating comparative discussions. While the future of Italian regionalism remains unclear, the Italian regional model combines lessons coming from different theoretical experiences, including federalism, sub-state nationalism, and the European unification process, representing a novel experiment fashioned by those who were looking for a compromise between unitary and federal schemes.

If Babel Had a Form Translating Equivalence in the Twentieth–Century Transpacific

Free Download Tze-Yin Teo, "If Babel Had a Form: Translating Equivalence in the Twentieth-Century Transpacific"
English | ISBN: 1531500188 | 2022 | 256 pages | PDF | 3 MB
"The likeness of form between Chinese and English sentences," writes the American Sinologist Ernest Fenollosa around 1906, "renders translation from one to the other exceptionally easy." If Babel Had a Form asks not if his claim may be true, but what its phantasmic surprise may yet do. In twentieth-century intersections of China and Asia with the United States, translations did more than communicate meaning across politicized and racializing differences of language and nation. Transpacific translation breached the regulative protocols that created those very differences of human value and cultural meaning. The result, Tze-Yin Teo argues, saw translators cleaving to the sounds and shapes of poetry to imagine a translingual "likeness of form" but not of meaning or kind.

Ideology and Holy Landscape in the Baltic Crusades

Free Download Gregory Leighton, "Ideology and Holy Landscape in the Baltic Crusades "
English | ISBN: 1641894547 | 2022 | 242 pages | PDF | 11 MB
This book examines how the military orders and the ideology of crusading gave rise to a new sacred landscape in the medieval Baltic region, an outpost of Latin Christianity. Drawing on a wide variety of sources and international scholarship, the book discusses the paganism of the landscape in written sources pre-dating the crusades, in addition to the narrative, legal, and visual evidence of the crusade period. It draws out the key sacralizing elements as expressed in those sources, which structure the definition of sacred landscape, particularly martyrdom, the manifestation of the sacred, and use of relics in battle. By analyzing these aspects with Geographical Information Systems (GIS), a map of the Baltic campaigns emerges that provides a fresh approach to studying contemporary views of holy war in a region with no initial links to the

Hélène Cixous's Semi–Fictions Cixous's Semi–Fictions Thinking at the Borders of Fiction

Free Download Mairéad Hanrahan, "Hélène Cixous's Semi-Fictions: Cixous's Semi-Fictions: Thinking at the Borders of Fiction "
English | ISBN: 0748642285 | 2014 | 256 pages | PDF | 1159 KB
Hélène Cixous, author of over forty works of fiction, was deemed by Derrida to be the greatest living writer in French in 1990. Consistent with this evaluation, her writing is renowned for its dense poetical texture and lyricism. At the same time, she has been described by one of Derrida's translator's, Peggy Kamuf, as 'one of our age's greatest semi-theoreticians'. Connecting these two views, this book argues for a consideration of her texts as 'semi-fictions'. Telling stories is, irreducibly, part of what Cixous does; it is irreducibly

Francois Hemsterhuis and the Writing of Philosophy

Free Download Daniel Whistler, "Francois Hemsterhuis and the Writing of Philosophy"
English | ISBN: 1399509829 | 2022 | 312 pages | PDF | 1428 KB
François Hemsterhuis (1721-1790) was the most significant Dutch philosopher after Spinoza. Daniel Whistler argues that Hemsterhuis' philosophy matters and that its exclusion from the canon of modern philosophy has been unjust. This is not just because of its reception history - its influence on later German thinkers, such as Goethe, Hamann, Hegel, Herder, Hölderlin, Jean Paul, Kant, Jacobi, Novalis, Schelling, the Schlegels, Schleiermacher, Wieland - but is primarily because Hemsterhuis' philosophy contains a rich assemblage of ideas and philosophical practices.
