Book European and Latin American Social Scientists as Refugees    migr  s and Return   Migrants

Download or read book European and Latin American Social Scientists as Refugees migr s and Return Migrants written by Ludger Pries and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-28 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s, thousands of social scientists fled the Nazi regime or other totalitarian European regimes, mainly towards the Americas. The New School for Social Research (NSSR) in New York City and El Colegio de México (Colmex) in Mexico City both were built based on receiving exiled academics from Europe. Comparing the first twenty years of these organizations, this book offers a deeper understanding of the corresponding institutional contexts and impacts of emigrated, exiled and refugeed academics. It analyses the ambiguities of scientists’ situations between emigration, return‐migration and transnational life projects and examines the corresponding dynamics of application, adaptation or amalgamation of (travelling) theories and methods these academics brought. Despite its institutional focus, it also deals with the broader context of forced migration of intellectuals and scientists in the second half of the last century in Europe and Latin America. In so doing, the book invites a deeper understanding of the challenges of forced migration for scholars in the 21st century.

Book Three Rings

Download or read book Three Rings written by Daniel Mendelsohn and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir, biography, work of history, and literary criticism all in one, this moving book tells the story of three exiled writers—Erich Auerbach, François Fénelon, and W. G. Sebald—and their relationship with the classics, from Homer to Mimesis. In a genre-defying book hailed as “exquisite” (The New York Times) and “spectacular” (The Times Literary Supplement), the best-selling memoirist and critic Daniel Mendelsohn explores the mysterious links between the randomness of the lives we lead and the artfulness of the stories we tell. Combining memoir, biography, history, and literary criticism, Three Rings weaves together the stories of three exiled writers who turned to the classics of the past to create masterpieces of their own—works that pondered the nature of narrative itself: Erich Auerbach, the Jewish philologist who fled Hitler’s Germany and wrote his classic study of Western literature, Mimesis, in Istanbul; François Fénelon, the seventeenth-century French archbishop whose ingenious sequel to the Odyssey, The Adventures of Telemachus—a veiled critique of the Sun King and the best-selling book in Europe for a hundred years—resulted in his banishment; and the German novelist W.G. Sebald, self-exiled to England, whose distinctively meandering narratives explore Odyssean themes of displacement, nostalgia, and separation from home. Intertwined with these tales of exile and artistic crisis is an account of Mendelsohn’s struggle to write two of his own books—a family saga of the Holocaust and a memoir about reading the Odyssey with his elderly father—that are haunted by tales of oppression and wandering. As Three Rings moves to its startling conclusion, a climactic revelation about the way in which the lives of its three heroes were linked across borders, languages, and centuries forces the reader to reconsider the relationship between narrative and history, art and life.

Book Intellectual Collaboration with the Third Reich

Download or read book Intellectual Collaboration with the Third Reich written by Maria Björkman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates the rather neglected "intellectual" collaboration between National Socialist Germany and other countries, including views on knowledge and politics among "pro-German" intellectuals, using a comparative approach. These moves were shaped by the Nazi system, which viewed scientific and cultural exchange as part and parcel of their cultural propaganda and policy. Positive views of the Hitler regime among intellectuals of all sorts were indicative of a broader discontent with democracy that, among other things, represented an alternative approach to modernization which was not limited to the German heartlands. This book draws together international experts in an analysis of right-wing Europe under Hitler; a study which has gained new resonance amidst the wave of European nationalism in the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: Partiendo de Debussy y llegando a Steve Reich. O empezando por Ablinger y acabando por Zimmerman. O arrancando en el impresionismo y siguiendo hasta la electroacústica. El lector puede elegir su forma de lectura en este libro torrencial, quizá el más completo escrito hasta la fecha, y no solo en español, sobre el complicado y muy diverso escenario de la música contemporánea durante el siglo XX. Vertebrada sobre itinerarios estéticos, la presente guía no deja de ser una historia de la música del siglo XX. La gran diferencia respecto a los manuales de historia estriba en la importancia que en este libro cobra el compositor, que junto al sonido es el eje fundamental del relato. (De la Introducción del autor). Relato es la palabra clave para un libro llamado a convertirse en un clásico: una obra llena de erudición, exhaustiva y utilísima como manual de referencia. Pero impregnada a la vez de amor por la música, de buen pulso narrativo y de una notable capacidad crítica.

Download or read book Song of Exile written by Joshua Alma Enslen and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Song of Exile: A Cultural History of Brazil’s Most Popular Poem, 1846–2018 is the first comprehensive study of the influence of Antônio Gonçalves Dias’s “Canção do exílio.” Written in Coimbra, Portugal, in 1843 by a homesick student longing for Brazil, “Song of Exile” has inspired thousands of parodies and pastiches, and new variations continue to appear to this day. Every generation of Brazilian writers has adapted the poem’s Romantic verses to glorify the wonders of the nation or to criticize it via parody, exposing a litany of issues that have plagued the country’s progress over the years. Based on a core of five hundred texts painstakingly gathered over a five-year span, this book catalogs the networks of the poem’s reinvention as pastiche and parody in Brazilian print culture from nineteenth-century periodicals to new media. Mapping the reoccurrences of the original’s keywords and phrases over time, the book uncovers how the poem has been used by successive generations to write and rewrite the nation’s history. This process of reinvention has guaranteed the permanency of “Song of Exile” in Brazilian culture, making it not only the nation’s most popular poem, but one of the most imitated in the world.

Book Spanish Literature  Crisis and Spectrality  Notes on a Haunted Canon

Download or read book Spanish Literature Crisis and Spectrality Notes on a Haunted Canon written by Pablo Valdivia and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2018 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author and Professor Dr. Pablo Valdivia analyzes the contradictions and complexities of the Spanish traditional canon from a transnational approach. Valdivia explores this particular canon as a 'haunted house' by focusing on the specific dialectics of presence, absence and (in)visibilization offered in relevant case studies: Jose Ricardo Morales, Cervantes or Jesus Carrasco, among others. Under the new term of 'disinherited literature', Valdivia advocates for coining critical categories that enrich the study of Spanish texts and shed new light on their radical specificities far from biased political and power strategic interests.
