The book also includes the full text of their proposal to the IOC for a new and more impressive Alternative Olympic Games, with events such as voyeurism, dentistry, Russian roulette, cocktail mixing, posing, couture, hairdressing, mendacity, bohemianism, architectural pâtisserie, and the roasting and carving of meat. edlar Lucan & Durian Gray are the authors of The Decadent Cookbook, MThe Decadent Gardener and The Decadent Traveller. £9.99 27 July 2012 ISBN 978 1 907650 55 0 250p B.

For Restoration rakes gin was a modish and exotic commodity, but its enemies – from William Hogarth via Charles Dickens to the pioneers of Prohibition – portrayed it as a handmaiden of urban squalor, cultural degeneration and melodramatic poverty. But gin has always enjoyed multiple lives, and its aromatic mystique has helped to carry its influence around the world. As a way of making the daily dose of bitter, anti-malarial quinine more palatable, gin and tonic became the tipple of choice for generations of colonial soldiers, planters and bureaucrats. For early twenty-first-century connoisseurs, gin has come full circle: once a rich man’s drink, then a poor man’s drink, it is once again in vogue, and an appendix provides tasting notes on the bewildering range of boutique gins now available. From the tyranny of ‘Madame Geneva’ to the doomed romance of Casablanca, this is a cultural history with a twist. ichard Barnett studied medicine in London before becoming a historian. R He has taught at the universities of London and Cambridge, and was a judge for the inaugural Wellcome Trust Book Prize in 2009. His first book, Medical London: City of Diseases, City of Cures, written with Mike Jay, was published in 2008, and was chosen as Book of the Week on BBC Radio 4. He is currently a Wellcome Trust Public Engagement Fellow. £15.00 3 November 2011 ISBN 978 1 907650 03 1 272p Hardcover Rights: Dedalus World Rights 5 DEDALUS CONCEPT BOOKS The Dedalus Book of Vodka by Geoffrey Elborn Both sophisticated and brutal, vodka is the best-selling spirit in the world. Distilled from rye or the humble potato, it has been known since the fourteenth century, when it was first used as a medicine, but it took James Bond and the Cold War to make it glamorous in the West. Chillingly versatile, vodka was popularised as a toast by Peter the Great, but it was also his favourite punishment for wrongdoers, who had to drink a whole barrel. Vodka is known to Russians as “the green snake” and “the water of life”, and without it the history of Russia would be very different. Every Russian head of state has legislated for or against it, and interference by Gorbachev hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union, just as Nicholas II’s vodka prohibition contributed to the end of Imperial Russia. Vodka is now a firm favourite in the Western world, particularly with younger drinkers. Often drunk ice-cold and straight for its own unique taste, its versatility in enhancing fruit flavours has also led to special designer flavours created for different cities of the U.S.A. Exploring vodka in all its aspects, and including research in the vodka museums of Moscow and St. Petersburg, The Dedalus Book of Vodka demystifies the subject without ever spoiling its ambivalent and subtle qualities. eoffrey Elborn has written three biographies, and contributed to many Gother books, most recently The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. He reviews for several journals. A life long interest in Russia began with his reading Dostoevsky’s The House of The Dead at the age of ten. He divides his time between London and Orkney. £15.00 3 April 2012 ISBN 978 1 907650 04 8 272p Hardcover Rights: Dedalus World Rights 6 ORIGINAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE FICTION The Khalifah’s Mirror by Andrew Killeen “I have a story to tell you. It is a tale of adventure, of love, and deception, of destiny and death. It is a tale of kings, and emperors, and of beautiful princesses; but also of poets, pirates, and priests. It is a story to entertain and instruct, to stir the blood, to inflame the senses, to dizzy the mind and rouse the soul...” Abu Nuwas, the poet, libertine and spy known as the Father of Locks, is usually in trouble of some kind, but this time his problem is serious: he is about to be beheaded, for treason and murder. The Khalifah grants him a final wish, and Abu Nuwas asks for his friend Ismail the Storyteller, to explain how he came to be condemned. Ismail tells tales of the poet’s adventures, and of his bitter rivalry with a Roman assassin; tales which gradually reveal a shocking betrayal, and culminate in a death that will shake the world. ndrew Killeen was born and lives in Birmingham. He studied English Aat Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and has spent most of his career working with homeless and disadvantaged children. He supports Birmingham City FC, as karmic punishment for sins in a past life. The Khalifah’s Mirror is a sequel to The Father of Locks, which was published by Dedalus in 2009. £9.99 10 February 2012 ISBN 978 1 903517 97 0 342p B.

A central claim is that the authors in question disrupt the structure of the patriarchal family — characterised by exogamy and normative heterosexuality — to foster alternative notions of kinship that problematise the hegemonic mode of transmitting name, capital, bloodline and authority from father to son.

Não atualizo a grafia de Queiroz quando esta aparece em textos anteriores à reforma ortográfica e nem quando o crítico não julgou necessário atualizá-la.

Esta se evidencia por uma alteração de concepção estética: v. 5, n. 1 p. 95 a 110 ao compor esses romances, Eça não se restringe ao limite do verossímil, isto é, da representação daquilo que é possível de acontecer, e deixa lugar à fantasia. Mas há outras semelhanças entre os dois romances fantasiosos de Eça. De saída, os nomes dos heróis, Teodoro e Teodorico, remetem para a intenção do autor em explicitar a relação dessas obras. O tema pode ser comparado: os heróis buscam uma melhor situação financeira que se dará ou não pela morte de alguém, do Mandarim ou da titi.

    THE DIAPHANOUS VEIL OF SATIRE: EÇA’S MESSAGE TO MACHADO IN THE CITY AND THE MOUNTAINS O MANTO DIÁFANO DA SÁTIRA: A MENSAGEM DE EÇA PARA MACHADO N’A CIDADE E AS SERRAS Kenneth David Jackson Yale University In the novel The City and the Mountains (A cidade e as serras, 1900), Eça de Queirós parodied scientifi c theories and philosophical ideas of his time through the character Jacinto de Tormes. Nicknamed “o Príncipe da Grã-Ventura”, Jacinto is as equally dissatisfi ed by the ennui of his sumptuous life in Paris as he is by the wholesome rustic- ity of the mountains of Portugal to which he returns. Whether pessi- mistic, melancholic, or exuberant, Jacinto is subject to uncontrollable and rapidly concocted theories that guide and direct his conduct and ideas. While Eça and Machado both referenced the world of ideas of their day and refl ected them in their characters, specifi c references in Eça’s depiction of Jacinto suggest that the author was looking over his shoulder at Machado de Assis. Eça pointedly revisits Machado’s own comic themes with plays on the two novels that he knew well, the Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, 1880) and Quincas Borba (1886). The rivalry between the two celebrated authors was complex, as indicated by Machado’s pithy dedication in Eça’s copy of Quincas Borba: “A Eça de Queirós. Machado de Assis”. Machado had read Eça in As farpas as early as February 1872 in a satire of the Brazilian emperor’s visit to Portugal, as well as of the use of language and types Revista de Estudos Literários 6 (2016): 83-94.

  • Opiary” and the Postimperial Scope of Portuguese Literary Orientalism1
    “An East, east of the East” Eça de Queirós’ A Relíquia, Álvaro de Campos’ “Opiary” and the Postimperial Scope of Portuguese Literary Orientalism1 Pedro Schacht Pereira The Ohio State University Abstract: Coming to terms with the increasing peripherality of Portugal at the height of Europe’s “Scramble for Africa” and in its immediate wake, both Eça de Queirós and Fernando Pessoa’s Álvaro de Campos engage with orientalism reactively, setting the stage for a prescient critique of European representations of the Orient. Through the parody of nineteenth-century religious and scientific discourses (Eça), and of symbolist poetics (Álvaro de Campos), as well as the recontextualization of early-modern Portuguese travel writing tropes, these two writers propose two alternative understandings of Portugal’s specific position in the modern geopolitics of empire. This article argues that the prescience of Eça’s and Pessoa’s critiques of orientalism forecloses, rather than authorizes, future essentialist views of Portugal’s historical specificity as evidence of exceptionalism. Keywords: Orientalism, Parody, Portugal, Semiperiphery, Postimperial. As the proverb says, the whole earth is one and its people nearly alike.

Crumey begins his story in Paris in 1913, a date perhaps chosen for its significance both to modern music (the premiere of The Rite of Spring) and quantum theory (the Bohr model of the atom). A young composer at a peak moment – out at a fair with his fiancée on his arm and his first major work locked away back home– suddenly vanishes, only to pop up again six years later as a political agitator in Scotland.

  • Producing Satire and Otherness in Portuguese Literature
    Food, Drink and the Other: Producing Satire and Otherness in Portuguese Literature Constança Viera de Andrade CRIA/ ISCTE-IUL _______________________________________________ Food appears in Portuguese narrative fiction and drama both as an element of reality and with a symbolic function, and authors often combine these two aspects for literary enrichment. Throughout the centuries, food and consumption habits have been among the most widely used resources in creating fictional identities and highlighting social differences between characters or groups in Portuguese literature. This article opens with a historical approach beginning with the Portuguese expansion (in 1415, with the taking of Ceuta), with the intention of highlighting how Portuguese narrative literature has employed food in portraying interactions between different identities or cultures, and to illustrate how appropriations of and confrontations with food products and habits occurred. As a result, the symbolic charge of food enables an understanding of how alterities / notions of the “other” – of race / ethnicity, country, class, religion, gender – are produced, and how concepts of self and other are necessarily built up and articulated with each other. Settings of both food preparation and consumption are of capital importance to the authors’ strategies for communicating elements of diverse identities to their readers. By highlighting a few chosen Portuguese literary works, this article illustrates the use of food and drink to create topoi of otherness at particular historical moments. Descriptive styles, the interweaving of food and drink, material culture, spaces of “performance” and psychological peculiarities further provide an effective dialectic between distinct characters and their contexts creating colorful, picaresque and attractive literary pieces. The final, longer section on the literary production of Eça de Queirós reflects the particular relevance that food and drink assume in two fundamental pillars of his work: cultural identity and otherness.

In its concept, it pays homage to George Orwell’s Animal Farm and engages the reader in an amusing way with the causes and likely outcomes of the crisis we are all facing. The story follows the fortunes of three characters: Erroll, a bull who is an eternal optimist; Mervyn, a donkey who is a down- to-earth pessimist; and Lily, a chicken who is largely timid and confused. While focusing on the damage wrought by the financial crisis, Market Farm examines its deeper causes and takes passing swipes at other problems of modern life. These include the cult of fine food, the rise of the welfare state, pollution, obesity, social disorder, the domination of the political process by the media, and even the rise of the internet and phenomena such as Twitter. icholas Bradbury was born in Lagos, Nigeria, Nwhere his father worked as an architect.

This man was condemned in memoirs by sisters Elissa and Rebecca Wall, the latter of whom recounted how she testified against him while wearing a sleeveless red dress. In a 2003 speech, this man used the codename R17 to refer to plans to move his operations from Colorado City to the YFZ Ranch. In a Lifetime Original Movie, Tony Goldwyn played this man, who was also profiled in Laurie Allen’s 2005 documentary Banking on Heaven. In 2006, he was discovered driving a late-model Cadillac Escalade just outside of Las Vegas, carrying 15 cell phones and 3 wigs. This man succeeded his father, Rulon, as the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, allegedly by marrying all but two of his father’s widows. For 10 points, name this fundamentalist Mormon who landed on the FBI’s most wanted list and was convicted of sexual assault in Arizona for his role in marrying lots of underage girls. ANSWER: Warren [Steed] Jeffs 2. Garedew et al. showed that this complex regulates OPA1 and TFAM, which are important in the biogenesis of mitochondria.

    Two Versions of Iberian Orientalism: The Geragao de 70 # and the Generation del 98 in Light of E<;a de Queiros A Reliquia 1 and Juan Valera's Morsamor Pedro Schacht Pereira Abstract: This essay makes the case for the urgency of comparative Luso-Hispanic studies through a reading of two orientalist novels by two authors whose place in the Iberian canon is consensual. It argues nonetheless that canonical readings have largely remained oblivious to the critique of empire that is inherent to the apparent exoticism of both authors’ appropriation of the orientalist motif. It also locates a precocious suspicion of what will be the claims of lusotropicalism in E^a de Queiros at the same time as it proposes an Iberian scope for the understanding of the casticista claims Juan Valera advances in Morsamor. When Teodorico Raposo laments, at the end of his memoirs, not having had the presence of mind and the “shameless heroism of affirmation” (RB 289) that would have helped make him the universal heir to the fortune of his grand- father, G. Godinho, he transforms the meaning of repentance and obliquely disavows the conversion he claimed to have undergone just a few pages earlier. If there was any repentance, it was only for his lack of cunning, not for a life mischievously lived. Readers are thus left to wonder if and how this lament, which concludes E$a de Queiros’ novel A Reliquia (1887), constitutes the “clear and strong lesson” (RB 3) to the century that in his prologue Teodorico claimed informed his memoirist writing.
