Welcome DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome to Chicago’s home for Shakespeare. Today’s presentation marks the return of two of our seminal international partners: the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of Scotland. Their collaboration on Dunsinane has created a tour-de-force, penned by modern-day Scottish playwright David Greig. By boldly imaging the complicated power struggle following the demise of King Macbeth, Greig provokes a timely dialog on the complexities of nation- building following an invasion of epic proportion. The original play is one of the greatest tragedies ever written. To have it followed 400 years later by an equally complicated, nuanced tale is theatrically thrilling. Through our World’s Stage Series, we are honored to serve as a cultural ambassador by importing leading international companies like the RSC and National Theatre of Scotland to Chicago. In the spirit of cultural exchange, we are also increasingly exporting our own work to the world.

  • Amerykanie W Wojnie Domowej W Hiszpanii (1936–1938)
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA HISTORICA 97, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/0208-6050.97.05 Hanna Marczewska-Zagdańska (Instytut Historii PAN Warszawa)* Amerykanie w wojnie domowej w Hiszpanii (1936–1938) Streszczenie. W artykule na podstawie jednostkowych przykładów zostały przedstawione losy Amerykanów biorących udział w wojnie domowej w Hiszpanii (2800 żołnierzy) po stronie republikanów. Wbrew amerykańskiej ustawie o neutralności i oficjalnym zakazom amerykańscy ochotnicy nielegalnie, różnymi kanałami przerzutowymi, przedostawali się, by zasilić szeregi Batalionu „Abraham Lincoln” i Batalionu „George Washington”, wchodzących w skład XV Brygady Międzynarodowej, zwanej potocznie Brygadą Abrahama Lincolna. Grupa ochotników amerykańskich była zróżnicowana zarówno pod względem statusu społecznego, wykształcenia, jak i pochodzenia narodowego, tzn. korzeni narodowych. Wśród nich byli zarówno zaangażowani, ideowo wyszkoleni w Moskwie dowódcy (R.H. Merriman) czy komunistyczni instruktorzy (S. Nelson), jak i młodzi ludzie, żądni przygód, podatni na propagandę. Byli nauczyciele, artyści, dziennikarze (J.Ph. Lardner), pisarze (Ph.L. Detro), aktorzy (A. Bessie), a także farmerzy, robotnicy (D.M. Reiss) i bezrobotni. Byli biali i Afroamerykanie (O. Law), mężczyźni i kobiety, Słowianie w pierwszym pokoleniu (M. Markovics) i obywatele USA pochodzenia żydowskiego (M. Wolff). Odrębną, specyficzną grupę stanowili piloci (A. Baumler, F. Tinker, J. Allison) oraz lekarze i pielęgniarki. W Hiszpanii, po krótkim, zupełnie niewystarczającym treningu, otrzymywali rozkaz do wyjścia na front, gdzie ginęli (800 zabitych), odnosili rany, dostawali się do niewoli, a nawet dezerterowali (Ph. Crane, B. Abramofsky). Ci, którym udało się przeżyć, w chwili zakończenia działań wojennych powracali do USA z minimalną pomocą administracji F.D. Roosevelta. Ich dalsze losy były nie mniej złożone i dramatyczne, uwarunkowane politycznie (okres maccartyzmu).

Abstract In the late 1930s, a civil war broke out in Spain between the left-wing government and the reactionary forces of the right. The government was supported by volunteers from several countries, including Canada. While the subject of the Canadian volunteers has been the focus of a few works in the past, the question of the level of their ideological cornmitment to the anti-fascist cause in Spain has been left largely unexplored.

  • Historical Memory
    CUBIERTA MEMORIA HISTÓRICA INGLÉS.qxp_Cubierta Memoria histórica 16/6/21 19:35 Página 1 Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Western progressi- vism has focused on cultural subversion and the anthropological revolution rather than the economic revolution. In this new era, the different versions of the historical interpretation constitute an added po- litical weapon. This is how “historical memory” has arisen, which seeks to reinterpret the past to domi- nate the present and reduce the complexity of his- tory to the dialectic of executioners versus victims. In Spain, the “historical memory” presents the 20th century and the early years of the 21st as a struggle between fascism and anti-fascism. The left not only wants to impose a mandatory interpreta- tion of history -with criminal and economic sanc- in Europe to Peace Threat a “Historical Memory”, tions for dissidents- but also to eradicate freedom of speech, and teaching. If such a strategy succeeds in Spain, the rest of the European left will copy it and the social confrontation already provoked between the Spanish people will spread to the rest of the continent. In this book, several historians analyze the main mythical slogans of the Spanish “memorialist” move- ment (the spontaneous nature of the violence against Catholics, the “slave” prisoners, the harshness of the post-war repression, the link between the “Historical Spanish regime and the III Reich, amnesty as a re- quirement of the Francoists, the pact of silence in the Transition, etc.) and dismantle them through Memory , data and facts. In addition, former minister of the ” first post-Franco democratic Government (1977- 1979), a writer imprisoned in the 1950s for his a Threat to Peace communist militancy, and another author descen- in Europe ded from an intellectual murdered in the genocide of Catholics perpretated by the left during the Civil War (1936-1939) share their testimonies in the pages of this book.
