Milano : Garzanti, 2017. Monograph available ita 807.1 GARD A che serve il latino? È la domanda che continuamente sentiamo rivolgerci dai molti per i quali la lingua di Cicerone altro non è che un’ingombrante rovina, da eliminare dai programmi scolastici. In questo libro personale e appassionato, Nicola Gardini risponde che il latino è - molto semplicemente lo strumento espressivo che è servito e serve a fare di noi quelli che siamo. Gardini ci trasmette un amore alimentato da una inesausta curiosità intellettuale, e ci incoraggia con affabilità a dialogare con una civiltà che non è mai terminata perché giunge fino a noi, e della quale siamo parte anche quando non lo sappiamo. Grazie a lui, anche senza alcuna conoscenza grammaticale potremo capire come questa lingua sia tuttora in grado di dare un senso alla nostra identità con la forza che solo le cose inutili sanno meravigliosamente esprimere. Multilingual Europe : facts and policies / edited by Guus Extra, Durk Gorter. Berlin : Mouton De Gruyter. Berlin : Mouton De Gruyter, 2008. Monograph available 094119 This book offers an inclusive perspective on the constellation of languages in Europe by taking into account official state languages, regional minority languages and immigrant minority languages as constituent parts of Europe’s identity. Both facts and policies on multilingualism and plurilingual education are addressed in case studies at the national and European level. The themes of the book are addressed from phenomenological, demographic, sociolinguistic and educational points of view 02 281 65 25 - [email protected] - JL 02 GH - Mon-Fri. 10:00 - 16:00 Follow us http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/library-blog/ - #EUCOlibrary 1/8 Accommodating linguistic difference : five normative models of language rights / Xabier Arzoz. In: European constitutional law review : EuConst 2010, v. 6, n. 1, p. 102-122 Monograph available 29376/J In the past few years, the theme of linguistic justice has started to receive some academic interest from the perspective of political theory. This movement has been preceded and accompanied by the rise of the linguistic human rights approach in sociolinguistics. This article will address what appears to be a methodological omission in the discussion on linguistic justice/ accommodation/ equality. Language, discourse and identity in Central Europe : the German language in a multilingual space / edited by Jenny Carl and Patrick Stevenson. Basingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2009. Monograph available 092503 Focusing on contact between German and other languages, the contributors in this book, analyse the ways in which language practices and discourses on language have changed since the end of the Cold War. Law and language in the European Union : the paradox of a Babel "united in diversity" / Richard L. Creech. Groningen : Europa Law, 2005. Monograph available in Central Library 083325 The European Economic Community, founded in 1957, consisted of six Member States with a combined total of four official languages. By 2004, this organisation had evolved into a European Union of twenty-five Member States with more than twenty official languages among them. This increase has presented numerous challenges to the EU's internal linguistic regime, where formal policy has been, with some notable exceptions, to treat all of these languages equally. Some of these languages - English in particular - have been more equal than others. Languages that lack nation-wide official status in any Member State - such as Catalan and Welsh - have been overtly denied equal treatment. Furthermore, the multilingual nature of the EU has had significant implications for any Member State that wishes to regulate the use of language within its territory, as such regulation can interfere with the rights accorded to citizens of other Member States to participate in free commercial movement throughout the Union. Law and Language in the European Union - now in paperback - examines how, in the linguistic realm, the EU has responded to the tensions that lie behind this paradoxical motto. The theory and practice of multilingualism in the European Union / Arianna Kitzinger. Berlin : VDM Verlag Dr. Müller, 2009. Monograph available in Central Library 092406 On 1 May 2004 ten new member states joined the European Union. It has been the biggest enlargement in the history of the Union. Economists counted, historians analysed and linguists started to worry. The central problem of their worries might be expressed in the question: "How will the EU be able to handle so many languages?" Or to put it in another way, "How can the EU cope with multilingualism?" This is a timely problem that demands a rational approach, and yet is often accompanied by emotional overtones. This thesis takes into consideration the puzzling question: Do you speak European? On the basis of the problem related above, a series of systematic questions will be raised so that we may introduce the present status and use of languages in the European Union from the aspect of linguistic diversity. Can schools save indigenous languages? : Policy and practice on four continents / edited by Nancy H. Hornberger. Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire : Palgrave Macmillan, 2011. Monograph available in Central Library 094452 The precarious circumstances of the world’s indigenous languages are by now well known: of 6800 languages currently spoken in the world, not only are more than half at risk of extinction by the end of this century, but approximately 95 per cent are spoken by less than five per cent of the world’s population mainly indigenous languages and speakers. Meanwhile, more than half of the world’s states are officially monolingual, and less than 500 languages are used and taught in schools. Not only the survival of indigenous languages is precarious, but also especially the survival and economic viability of their speakers in national contexts where educational systems massively fail indigenous people, closing them out and leaving them illiterate and oppressed in their own land. 02 281 65 25 - [email protected] - JL 02 GH - Mon-Fri. 10:00 - 16:00 Follow us http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/library-blog/ - #EUCOlibrary 2/8 Maltese and other languages. A Linguistic History of Malta / Joseph M. Brincat, La Valette : Midsea books, 2011. Monograph available in Language Library - 36 11 02 hist EN 1 02 Throughout the ages, the Maltese language has undergone a series of internal changes as well as modifications and accretions caused by various external forces. As a result the Maltese language has been shaped by its inhabitants' interactions with all the peoples who, throughout the centuries, have landed on the islands to govern it or establish colonies there. The increase in population was due not only to natural growth but also to cumulative waves of settlers from abroad. Social interaction between the locals and the visitors was strong, bilingual communication took place in various domains at all social levels and relations were especially strong when mixed marriages took place. For this reason, a history of the Maltese language must be seen in the wider context of a linguistic history of the Maltese islands and will offer linguists belonging to both the historical and typological fields an intriguing case study of what can be considered a "minor" language from the international point of view (used only in a small state, but spoken by the great majority of the islanders) which has managed to survive alongside a series of "major" languages such as Arabic, Latin, Sicilian, Italian and English, languages which were widely spoken and written abroad and which also enjoyed prestige in Malta itself but whose local circulation was generally limited to the literate minority. Education, languages and linguistic minorities in the EU : challenges and perspectives / Gulara Guliyeva. In: European law journal 2013, v. 19, n. 2. Although, with the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty, two provisions of EU primary law now refer to ’minorities’, there are no explicit EU competences and policies to promote the rights of minority groups in education. Nevertheless, EU law has a strong potential to impact the educational rights of linguistic minorities in Member States. To evaluate the right to access education, with an emphasis on the needs of minorities to preserve their identity, this paper first discusses the EU’s relevant competences in education (Part II)

Qualls The Russian Revolutions: The Impact and Limitations of Western Influence After the collapse of the Soviet Union, historians have again turned their attention to the birth of the first Communist state in hopes of understanding the place of the Soviet period in the longer sweep of Russian history. Was the USSR an aberration from or a consequence of Russian culture? Did the Soviet Union represent a retreat from westernizing trends in Russian history, or was the Bolshevik revolution a product of westernization? These are vexing questions that generate a great deal of debate. Some have argued that in the late nineteenth century Russia was developing a middle class, representative institutions, and an industrial economy that, while although not as advanced as those in Western Europe, were indications of potential movement in the direction of more open government, rule of law, free market capitalism. Only the Bolsheviks, influenced by an ideology imported, paradoxically, from the West, interrupted this path of Russian political and economic westernization.

  • Mainstreaming Radical Politics in Sri Lanka: the Case of JVP Post-1977
    Mainstreaming Radical Politics in Sri Lanka: The case of JVP post-1977 Nirmal Ranjith Dewasiri Abstract This article provides a critical understanding of dynamics behind the roles of the People’s Liberation Front (JVP) in post-1977 Sri Lankan politics. Having suffered a severe setback in the early 1970s, the JVP transformed itself into a significant force in electoral politics that eventually brought the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) to power. This article explains the transformation by examining the radical political setting and mapping out the actors and various movements which allowed the JVP to emerge as a dominant player within the hegemonic political mainstream in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, it also highlights the structural changes in JVP politics and its challenges for future consolidation. Introduction The 1977 general election marked a major turning point in the history of post-colonial Sri Lanka. While the landslide victory of the United National Party (UNP) was the most important highlight of the election results, the shocking defeat for the old leftist parties was equally important. Both the victory of the UNP and the defeat of the left were symbolic. The left’s electoral defeat was soon followed by the introduction of new macro-economic policy framework under the UNP’s rule, which replaced protective economic policy framework that was endorsed by the Left.1 Ironically enough, as if to dig its own grave, the same UNP government helped People’s Liberation Front (JVP), which became a formidable threat to the smooth implementation of the new economic policies, to re-enter into the political mainstream by way of freeing its leadership from the prison.

  • Jacques Camatte Community and Communism in Russia
    Jacques Camatte Community and Communism in Russia Chapter I Chapter II Chapter III Chapter I Publishing Bordiga's texts on Russia and writing an introduction to them was rather repugnant to us. The Russian revolution and its involution are indeed some of the greatest events of our century. Thanks to them, a horde of thinkers, writers, and politicians are not unemployed. Among them is the first gang of speculators which asserts that the USSR is communist, the social relations there having been transformed. However, over there men live like us, alienation persists. Transforming the social relations is therefore insufficient. One must change man. Starting from this discovery, each has 'functioned' enclosed in his specialism and set to work to produce his sociological, ecological, biological, psychological etc. solution. Another gang turns the revolution to its account by proving that capitalism can be humanised and adapted to men by reducing growth and proposing an ethic of abstinence to them, contenting them with intellectual and aesthetic productions, restraining their material and affective needs. It sets computers to work to announce the apocalypse if we do not follow the advice of the enlightened capitalist. Finally there is a superseding gang which declares that there is neither capitalism nor socialism in the USSR, but a kind of mixture of the two, a Russian cocktail ! Here again the different sciences are set in motion to place some new goods on the over-saturated market. That is why throwing Bordiga into this activist whirlpool

  • From Proletarian Internationalism to Populist
    from proletarian internationalism to populist russocentrism: thinking about ideology in the 1930s as more than just a ‘Great Retreat’ David Brandenberger (Harvard/Yale) • [email protected] The most characteristic aspect of the newly-forming ideology... is the downgrading of socialist elements within it. This doesn’t mean that socialist phraseology has disappeared or is disappearing. Not at all. The majority of all slogans still contain this socialist element, but it no longer carries its previous ideological weight, the socialist element having ceased to play a dynamic role in the new slogans.... Props from the historic past – the people, ethnicity, the motherland, the nation and patriotism – play a large role in the new ideology. –Vera Aleksandrova, 19371 The shift away from revolutionary proletarian internationalism toward russocentrism in interwar Soviet ideology has long been a source of scholarly controversy. Starting with Nicholas Timasheff in 1946, some have linked this phenomenon to nationalist sympathies within the party hierarchy,2 while others have attributed it to eroding prospects for world This article builds upon pieces published in Left History and presented at the Midwest Russian History Workshop during the past year. My eagerness to further test, refine and nuance this reading of Soviet ideological trends during the 1930s stems from the fact that two book projects underway at the present time pivot on the thesis advanced in the pages that follow. I’m very grateful to the participants of the “Imagining Russia” conference for their indulgence. 1 The last line in Russian reads: “Bol’shuiu rol’ v novoi ideologii igraiut rekvizity istoricheskogo proshlogo: narod, narodnost’, rodina, natsiia, patriotizm.” V.

  • Anarchism and Council-Communism on the Russian Revolution
    Anarchist Studies 20.2 30/10/2012 21:36 Page 22 View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Abertay Research Portal Anarchist Studies 20.2 © 2012 ISSN 0967 3393 www.lwbooks.co.uk/journals/anarchiststudies/ Anarchism and Council Communism on the Russian Revolution Christos Memos ABSTRACT The Russian Revolution, being part of the revolutionary tradition of the exploited and oppressed, encompasses sufferings, horrors and tragedies, but also unfulfilled promises, hopes and revolutionary inspirations. The subversive heritage includes, among others, the largely neglected radical critiques of the Russian Revolution that preceded analo- gous Trotskyist endeavours. All these forgotten critiques, unrealised potentials and past struggles could act as a constantly renewed point of departure in the fight for human emancipation. This essay examines the two radical currents of anarchism and Council Communism and their critical confrontation with the Russian Revolution and the class character of the Soviet regime. First, it outlines the major anarchist critiques and analyses of the revolution (Kropotkin, Malatesta, Rocker, Goldman, Berkman and Voline). Following this, it explores the critique provided by the Council Communist tradition (Pannekoek, Gorter and Rühle). The essay moves on to provide a critical re-evaluation of both anarchist and councilist appraisals of the Russian Revolution in order to disclose liberating intentions and tendencies that are living possibilities for contemporary radical anti-capitalist struggles all over the world. It also attempts to shed light on the limits, inadequacies and confusions of their approaches, derive lessons for the present social struggles and make explicit the political and theo- retical implications of this anti-critique.
