Book excerpt: La anorexia y la bulimia son trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en alarmante expansión. Difundidas sobre todo entre las mujeres adolescentes, expresan sin embargo un sufrimiento que va más allá del problema nutricional. Este libro quiere devolver a estos trastornos el significado de «fenómenos complejos», en los que se entrecruzan influencias socioculturales, relacionadas con las profundas transformaciones del rol de la mujer en una sociedad que exhibe cuerpos eternamente jóvenes y eficientes; aspectos psicológicos individuales, que en la problemática relación con el cuerpo expresan dificultad para asumir el crecimiento; y dinámicas familiares, donde la rigidez de los lazos y mitos compartidos parecen detener las propias capacidades evolutivas de las jóvenes. Hay pues un hilo conductor que atraviesa los múltiples componentes invo-lucrados en estos trastornos: el imposible intento de suspender el tiempo del desarrollo y del crecimiento. De este tiempo suspendido, el cuerpo anoréxico y bulímico ofrece una sugestiva metáfora, cuyos significados se van reconstruyendo pacientemente en esta obra. Una guía esencial que ayudará a comprender mejor el sentido de un sufrimiento cada vez más extendido entre las generaciones jóvenes.

Download or read book Italian Intellectuals and International Politics 1945 1992 written by Alessandra Tarquini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian intellectuals played an important role in the shaping of international politics during the Cold War. The visions of the world that they promulgated, their influence on public opinion and their ability to shape collective speech, whether in agreement with or in opposition to those in power, have been underestimated and understudied. This volume marks one of the first serious attempts to assess how Italian intellectuals understood and influenced Italy’s place in the post–World War II world. The protagonists represent the three key post-war political cultures: Catholic, Marxist and Liberal Democratic. Together, these essays uncover the role of such intellectuals in institutional networks, their impact on the national and transnational circulation of ideas and the relationships they established with a variety of international associations and movements.

Download or read book Transitions from Authoritarian Rule written by Guillermo O’Donnell and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An array of internationally noted scholars examines the process of democratization in southern Europe and Latin America. They provide new interpretations of both current and historical efforts of nations to end periods of authoritarian rule and to initiate transition to democracy, efforts that have met with widely varying degrees of success and failure. Extensive case studies of individual countries, a comparative overview, and a synthesis conclusions offer important insights for political scientists, students, and all concerned with the prospects for democracy. The historical example of Italy after Mussolini as well as the more recent cases of Greece, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey suggest factors that may make a transition relatively secure.

Download or read book A Fascist Decade of War written by Marco Maria Aterrano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 through to the waning months of the World War II in 1945, Fascist Italy was at war. This Fascist decade of war comprised an uninterrupted stretch of military and political engagements in which Italian military forces were involved in Abyssinia, Spain, Albania, France, Greece, the Soviet Union, North Africa and the Middle East. As a junior partner to Nazi Germany, only entering the war in June 1940, Italy is often seen as a relatively minor player in World War II. However, this book challenges much of the existing scholarship by arguing that Fascist Italy played a significant and distinct role in shaping international relations between 1935 and 1945, creating a Fascist decade of war.
Download or read book Vital Crossroads written by Reynolds Mathewson Salerno and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most international historians present the outbreak of World War II as the result of an irreconcilable conflict between Great Britain and Germany. This ubiquitous Anglo-German perspective fails to recognize complex causes and repercussions of international events, misappropriates historical responsibilities, and overlooks many global and imperial factors of the war's origins. Reynolds M. Salerno shows that the situation in the Mediterranean played a decisive role in the European drama of the late 1930s and profoundly influenced the manner in which the Second World War unfolded. Vital Crossroads is the result of the author's remarkable access to and extensive research in twenty-eight archives in five different countries. Concentrating on the period from the Mediterranean crisis of 1935 to Italy's declaration of war in June 1940, Salerno demonstrates that the international politics of pre-World War II Europe--particularly in the Mediterranean--can only be understood as the multilateral interaction of British, French, German, and Italian foreign and defense policies. Control of the Mediterranean, he asserts, was a central concern for the European powers in 1935-40, and a fundamental reason why Europe went to war and why the conflict unfolded as it did. As a result, France and Italy influenced and often determined the nature and direction of Allied and Axis policy to an extent disproportionate to their nations' military and economic strength.Salerno contends that the Allies' reluctance to take decisive action against Fascist Italy in 1939-40 contributed to the fall of France in 1940, Britain's desperate situation in 1940-41, and the post-war collapse of Britain as a world power. At a time when the Allied powers dreaded the ability of the German military to march across the European continent, they also feared that the Italian armed forces would strive to fulfill Mussolini's grand imperial ambitions in the Mediterranean.
Download or read book The Global Pontificate of Pius XII written by Simon Unger-Alvi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, the Vatican opened its archives for the pontificate of Pius XII (1939-1958), the pope that led the Catholic Church during WWII, the Holocaust, and the beginning of the Cold War. The Global Pontificate of Pius XII brings together historians who were among the first to consult the previously unseen Vatican materials. These long-awaited records allow for an expansion of the current historiography beyond the pope’s biography. Methodologically, the volume works to transcend the rigidity of religious history and engage with new approaches in global, transnational, and postcolonial history to re-introduce questions surrounding religion into modern post-war historiography.
