  • Mujeres, Antifascismo Y Democracia: La Junta De La Victoria, 1941-19471
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________Anuario IEHS 28 (2013), pp. 157-175 MUJERES, ANTIFASCISMO Y DEMOCRACIA: LA JUNTA DE LA VICTORIA, 1941-19471 Sandra McGee Deutsch 2 Resumen La Junta de la Victoria era una organización antifascista femenina que promovió la democracia y mandó ayuda a los Aliados durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Apoyada por el Partido Comunista, se convirtió en el más grande grupo político de mujeres antes de la presidencia de Juan Perón (1946-1955). Movilizó a miles de mujeres de diferentes clases, etnias, religiones, perspectivas políticas, y regiones. A través de la elaboración de ropa y otras actividades concretas, y el uso de símbolos como la V de la Victoria, la Junta difundió el antifascismo y lo hizo atractivo a un gran número de personas. La contribución específica de la Junta a la lucha contra el fascismo fue su intento por democratizar el sistema político mediante la incorporación de diversas mujeres, así como también modelando las prácticas cívicas igualitarias, y popularizando su mensaje. Palabras clave: Mujeres – Antifascismo - Partido Comunista – Democracia. Abstract The Junta de la Victoria (1941-1947) was a female antifascist organization that promoted democracy and sent aid to the Allies during World War II. Supported by the Communist Party, it became the largest women’s political group before Juan Perón’s presidency (1946-1955). It mobilized thousands of women of different classes, ethnicities, religions, political perspectives, and regions. Through the making of clothing and other concrete activities, and the use of symbols such as the V for victory, the Junta spread antifascism and made it attractive to a huge number of persons.

  • A Feminist Critique of Knowledge Production
    This volume is the result of the close collaboration between the University of Naples “L‘Orientale” and the scholars organizing and participating to the postgraduate course Feminisms in a Transnational Perspective in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It features 15 essays that envision a feminist critique of the production Università degli studi di Napoli of knowledge that contributes today, intentionally or not, to new “L’Orientale” forms of discrimination, hierarchy control, and exclusion. Opposing the skepticism towards the viability of Humanities and Social Sciences in the era of ‘banking education’, marketability, and the so-called technological rationalization, these essays inquiry into teaching practices of non- institutional education and activism. They practice methodological ‘diversions’ of feminist intervention A feminist critique into Black studies, Childhood studies, Heritage studies, Visual studies, and studies of Literature. of knowledge production They venture into different research possibilities such as queering Eurocentric archives and histories. Some authors readdress Monique production A feminist critique of knowledge Wittig’s thought on literature as the Trojan horse amidst academy’s walls, the war-machine whose ‘design and goal is to pulverize the old forms and formal conventions’. Others rely on the theoretical assumptions of minor transnationalism, deconstruction, edited by Deleuzian nomadic feminism, queer theory, women’s oral history, and Silvana Carotenuto, the theory of feminist sublime. Renata Jambrešic ´ Kirin What connects these engaged writings is the confidence in the ethics and Sandra Prlenda of art and decolonized knowledge as a powerful tool against cognitive capitalism and the increasing precarisation of human lives and working conditions that go hand in hand with the process of annihilating Humanities across Europe.

  • Somaesthetic Encounters with Socrates: the Peaceful Warrior As Yog I Dr
    Page 117-132 Somaesthetic Encounters with Socrates Dr. Vinod Balakrishnan, Swathi Elizabeth Kurian Somaesthetic Encounters with Socrates Somaesthetic Encounters with Socrates: The Peaceful Warrior as Yog i Dr. Vinod Balakrishnan, Swathi Elizabeth Kurian Abstract: The body perfects itself: It is the subjective site of personal transformation, hence, the somaesthetic Body. It is, simultaneously, the objective site of inspired transformation, hence, the Mentored Body, the cared-for Body. This thesis is examined through Peaceful Warrior: The Graphic Novel (2010), which is Dan Millman’s autobiografiction, illustrated by Andrew Weingarner. The paper interprets Dan Millman’s journey by employing Richard Shusterman’s theory of somaesthetics as well as the classical Indian treatise of Patanjali called the Yoga Sūtra. The paper is built around the idea of the “Mentor”- here, Socrates - who must guide the disciple (Dan Millman) to “greater perceptual acuity.” To this end, it reflects on: 1. “Socrates” as an idea; 2. The relationship between the Field (which is the classical image of the Body) and the Farmer (here, the Mentor); 3. The building of the Peaceful Warrior, and 4.The culmination of the journey when the Peaceful Warrior becomes the Yogi. The moment of awakening in the narrative is when Socrates declares to Dan that, “this world is a school” where one must discover his purpose. The Mentor guides the seeker towards his purpose. The seeker journeys towards the purpose by moving from the outermost somatic territory through routines called Bahiraṅga Sādhana into the inner territory of the mind involving routines called Antaraṅga Sādhana and, eventually, arrives at the innermost territory of the soul through routines called Antarātma Sādhana.

    Authentic Assertions, Commercial Concessions: Race, Nation, and Popular Culture in Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960 by Christina D. Abreu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof Associate Professor Richard Turits Associate Professor Yeidy Rivero Associate Professor Anthony P. Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.

Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how liter- ature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.

  • Five Club Patterns
    Introduction On the 9th October 2014 the international juggling community lost a treasured friend and valued contributor. A creator of patterns, a passionate teacher, and a friendly face to sink a beer with (preferably an ale) or pass an evening playing games with, Aidan touched many around him and will be sorely missed. His online resource for club passing is probably the most extensive ever crafted and the passing patterns he created (most notably extensions of the scrambled V) have spread around the world bringing endless hours of frustration and joy in equal parts to hundreds. A veteran of about 140 Juggling conventions across 3 continents and at least 15 countries, Aidan seemed ever present in the juggling scene. Aidan always seemed happiest when teaching someone something new; whether it be lefty-righty passing, rope tricks or how to form a Suduko. The scores of workshops he has led in fulfilling this passion and the number of people he has coerced into passing over the years really bears testament to the kind of juggler he was and will be remembered for. Aidan began juggling at the age of 18 but didn’t take it that seriously until his early 30’s when, coinciding with the exploding of the internet, Aidan started producing a series of low budget and fairly uninspiring 3 ball trick videos. Quickly learning the error of his ways, Aidan put down the balls forever and progressed to club passing, rapidly becoming a core member of the then thriving Jacksons Lane juggling club in Highgate, London. Having attended a few local conventions, EJC 2002 in Bremen opened his eyes to the international juggling scene and Aidan found his home.
