Verband Deutcher Kunsthistoriker, West Germany. h Foreword by the Mayor of Venice, Antonio Casellati Doubtless in a few weeks ' time Venice will be either saved or lost. Whether she is to live may depend on you. In June the B.I.E. (Bureau International des Expositions) will decide whether the Universal Exhibition of the year 2000 is to be held in Venice. The representatives of your country will be voting. Could you dissuade them from signing the city's sentence of death. We believe you could. Who are we? All those who appear in these pages. All those who refuse to be bound by a project that has been imposed without a vote of Parliament, against the opinion of the Municipal Council, against the conviction of certain ministers, against Venice itself. An undefined project whose authors themselves admit that they do not know what will be the outcome. A hazy and changeable project, legally doubtful, out of keeping with the nature of the city, economically and socially. A project which could ruin the efforts already begun to halt its decline and which could cause a retrograde step. A project which aggravates the exodus of Venetians. A project which claims to be very up-to-date but which is based on the old idea of a purely quantitative economic expansion. An out-of-date project. Also an impos­ sible project because, to take only one example, the city, which already at certain periods is unable to cope with the touristic influx, is physically and structurally incapable of receiving the immense crowds with which it is threatened by the most "optimistic" scientific forecasts, in the case that Expo should come to the Veneto. A project which is upheld only by those who think they have an economic or political interest in it. A project which condemns those personalities of unquestionable scientific and cultural experience who here analyse its unfor­ tunate consequences. A project which has aroused in Italy and abroad an exceptional wave of protest. For seldom has one seen such unanimity. The pages which follow bear it but pale witness. Architects, writers, intellectuals from every country. The private committees for the preserva­ tion of Venice and the Committee for World Heritage of Unesco. The International press. But the Venetians too: the Municipal Council, innumerable associations and groups of all kinds and of every outlook, school children and grown men. In fact the people of Venice. All of us refuse to accept that Venice is to become an empty stage awaiting its final performance. Will you be with us with Venice? 1 • We believe so. We ask you to read these pages, to take note of the facts and to form your judgement. We ask you to help us, to arouse the opinion of the authorities of your country, to urge the representatives on the B.I.E; that they should not allow themselves to become accomplices. Or to be able to say that they did not know. You can do this. Will you do it so that Venice can live? ~ it :,'! ~: ... ? '+ ~-:"~'~f···::;~.if~_~,,;.. -:..

Gladsky: Texts and Other Fictions in Gore Vidal’s Burr TEXTS AND OTHER FICTIONS IN GORE VIDAL’S BURR Thomas Gladsky Central Missouri State University Over the years, Gore Vidal has campaigned furiously against theorists and writers of the new novel who, according to Vidal, “have attempted to change not only the form of the novel but the relationship between book and reader” (“French Letters” 67). In his essays, he has condemned the “misdirected” efforts of writers such as Donald Barthelme, John Gardner, Thomas Pynchon, John Barth, William Gass, and all those who come equipped with “formulas, theorems, signs, and diagrams because words have once again failed them” (“American Plastic” 102). In comparison, Vidal presents himself as a literary conservative, a defender of traditional form in fiction even though his own novels betray his willingness to penetrate beyond words and to experiment with form, especially in his series of historical novels.

  • Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End?
    EOTVOS LORAND UNIVERSITY European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratization 2016/2017 Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End? A socio-historical analysis of custodial care with case studies on deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia. Author: Lazar Stefanović Supervisor: prof. Dr. Katalin Tausz ABSTRACT This study encompasses the phenomenon of institutionalisation of persons with mental disabilities in a holistic manner, from its rise to the fall as the only mainstream form of care for this group. The phenomenon of the period of “great confinement” with regards to persons with mental disorders determined the later development of custodial care systems; hence my thesis examines wrongness of the inveteracy of punitive and control oriented care that was long taken for granted. The perception of mental disorders progressed significantly after the aforementioned period; still today we are able to detect worryingly outdated approaches to mental disability as well as some features of the custodial care that were present a few centuries ago. A significant breakthrough happened with introduction of somewhat vague concept of dignity that allowed theorists and lawmakers to further develop understanding of this concept and incorporate it in international legal instruments. The position of dignity is examined with regards to realization of the rights of persons with mental disabilities and understanding the importance of autonomy as a prerequisite for dignified life. Ultimately, deinstitutionalisation is a tool by which the society loosens the control established upon the persons with mental disorders a long time ago. The case studies focus on the processes of deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.
