In the first place, the V World Congress was held in Madrid in the month of June, organized by the World Coalition against the Death Penalty, in support of which the Academic Network organized a symposium at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, at which among others the problems of deterrence and the consideration of the death penalty as a cruel and inhuman punishment were studied.

In forthcoming weeks, a book will be published with a large number of the texts.

  • Soviet Karelia in the Letters & Memoirs Of
    LIFE MOVING FORWARD: SOVIET KARELIA IN THE LETTERS & MEMOIRS OF FINNISH NORTH AMERICANS SAMIRA S. SARAMO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, CANADA SEPTEMBER 2014 © SAMIRA SARAMO, 2014 Abstract In the first years of the 1930s, some 6500 Finnish Canadians and Finnish Americans moved to Soviet Karelia, motivated by the economic depression and the dream of participating in the building of a Finnish-led workers’ society, with employment, education, and healthcare for all. Their recruitment as “foreign specialists” who would modernize the Karelian economy secured for them preferential access to food, housing, and work postings, but life in Karelia was very different than what the immigrants had previously known. Despite difficulties and a heavy return migration, those who stayed threw themselves into the building of socialism. However, by 1936, the Stalinist regime viewed ethnic minorities and foreigners as threats to the Soviet order, and the Finnish leadership in Karelia was ousted and a violent attack on ethnic Finns and Finnish culture took over the region, shattering the dream of the ‘Red Finn Haven.’ This dissertation examines letters written by Finnish North Americans in Karelia to friends and family remaining in Canada and the United States, as well as memoirs and retrospective letter collections that look back on life in Karelia in the 1930s. These sources, brought together under the umbrella of life writing, are analysed in two ways. They are used to construct a history of the immigrants’ everyday life, with chapters exploring topics such as travel and first impressions, housing, food, health and hygiene, clothing, children’s experiences, formal labour, political participation, celebrations, popular culture, sociability, and repression.

  • Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim
    Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim Beyond Art and Politics from a Comparative Perspective a Comparative from Art and Politics Beyond Guernica and the Guggenheim This book brings together experts from different fields of study, including sociology, anthropology, art history Art and Politics from a Comparative Perspective and art criticism to share their research and direct experience on the topic of art and politics. How art and politics relate with each other can be studied from numerous perspectives and standpoints. The book is structured according to three main themes: Part 1, on Valuing Art, broadly concerns the question of who, how and what value is given to art, and how this may change over time and circumstance, depending on the social and political situation and motivation of different interest groups. Part 2, on Artistic Political Engagement, reflects on another dimension of art and politics, that of how artists may be intentionally engaged with politics, either via their social and political status and/or through the kind of art they produce and how they frame it in terms of meaning. Part 3, on Exhibitions and Curating, focuses on yet another aspect of the relationship between art and politics: what gets exhibited, why, how, and with what political significance or consequence. A main focus is on the politics of art in the Basque Country, complemented by case studies and reflections from other parts of the world, both in the past and today. This book is unique by gathering a rich variety of different viewpoints and experiences, with artists, curators, art historians, sociologists and anthropologists talking to each other with sometimes quite different epistemological bases and methodological approaches.

    The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities Chamber of Regions 18th SESSION CPR(18)2 1st March 2010 Regional democracy in Switzerland Institutional Committee Rapporteur: Marjan HAAK-GRIFFIOEN, Netherlands (R, NR1) A. Draft Recommendation ....................................................................................................................... 2 B. Explanatory Memorandum .................................................................................................................. 7 Summary This report concerns regional (cantonal) self-government in Switzerland, its structure and functioning, the major reforms of recent years, as well as their conformity with European standards and in particular with the new Reference Framework for Regional Democracy. It reaches the conclusion that, in Switzerland, the fundamental principles of regional self-government relating, inter alia, to cantons' full powers and responsibilities, participation in the shaping of federal policy and representation at federal level are fully in line with the principles laid down by the Reference Framework for Regional Democracy. However, the recommendation draws the Swiss authorities' attention to a few matters which could be the subject of possible reform, such as the institutionalisation of urban area (“agglomération”) structures, stabilisation of the financial equalisation system and intercantonal conventions and their application. 1 L: Chamber of Local Authorities/R: Chamber of Regions ILDG: Independent and Liberal Democrat Group of the Congress

    NASAT 2011 Round 4 Tossups 1. During this war, the five time consul Marcus Claudius Marcellus prevented the capture of Nola at three separate battles. The consul Gaius Nero won the Battle of the Metaurus in this war. One side in this war successfully employed the Fabian strategy until it became politically unpopular. Cato the Elder thought the terms that ended this war were too gentle, an opinion he made clear after each of his speeches. One leader in this conflict was the brother of Hasdrubal, who demonstrated classic double envelopment in his victory at Cannae and boldly marched his army over the Alps. For 10 points, name this war lost by Hannibal, the second to be fought between Rome and Carthage. ANSWER: Second Punic War [prompt on Punic Wars] 015-11-30-04102 2. One character in this play reads a letter which says “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.” A note in this play is forged by Maria and asks its recipient to wear yellow stockings and cross garters. In this play, the sea captain Antonio becomes enraged at the supposed theft of his purse and is arrested by the Duke of Ilyria. One of its subplots concerns a duel in which Andrew Aguecheek and Toby Belch are wounded. A group of characters plot against the pompous steward Malvolio in this play, which centers on the courts of the wealthy countess Olivia and Duke Orsino. For 10 points, name this Shakespeare comedy in which the twins Viola and Sebastian are separated after a shipwreck.
