The growing Social aware- ness of ethnic groups has made it essential for young people to ccaire thern,owledge whioh will enable then to understand the vari- ous groups individually, and in the complexity of their interaction. Ic'.eallv, t informat-on Lransmitted by the text and instructional macerial and amplified by the teacher should_be so inclusive and_ so woll-blanced as to givr each voup its rightful role in world ald American hi5torv. 'Unfortunately, many standard texts fail_in th:ir responsibility to deal with the influence of various racial, religi,-,us and naional groups on the political, economic, and socio-cultural developcents at various phases of world and American history. Young people cah ta6e socil studies cou.:,ses and graduate from school with gaps of knowledge and understanding, which will affect their relations with minority grour, individuals in their own soCial milieu. This anr.otated bibliography was prepared by Neir Laibetski, Instructor of Hebrew, Baruch College. and Edith Lubstski, Librarian, Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University. It is intended to help social studies tcachers Iprng to thoir students a better understand- ing of one minority -Troup, the Jews, through an awareness of Jewish_ history, culture, personalities an i. contributions, from the Biblical period to the present day. The selections include fiction and nen-fiction, historical texts and documents, biographies and auto- biographies and literary works both classic and modern, as well as a separately listed grolip of basic reference works particularly useful for teachers and the more maure student. The Listings, recommended for grades five through tvelve, are arranged according to two categories: books intnded for younger readers and those for teenagers and adults. Under_each grouping, the books are listed alphabetically Ipy title, within the subsections of history, biography and fiction. The indicated aga group recom- mendations are offered merely as a guide to the teacher who may find suitable materials for a particular class at a r':,,ading level other than the one suggested. We hope that the supplementary resources isted here will fill a felt need to overcome the lack of jnowledge about the role ofJews in world and American history and help teachers and students to evelop an informed perspeccive on ihtergroup relations.

Mack Horton Professor Daniel C. O’Neill Professor Anne-Lise François Summer 2018 © 2018 Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney All Rights Reserved Abstract The Lyric Forms of the Literati Mind: Yosa Buson, Ema Saikō, Masaoka Shiki and Natsume Sōseki by Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Language University of California, Berkeley Professor Alan Tansman, Chair This dissertation examines the transformation of lyric thinking in Japanese literati (bunjin) culture from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. I examine four poet- painters associated with the Japanese literati tradition in the Edo (1603-1867) and Meiji (1867- 1912) periods: Yosa Buson (1716-83), Ema Saikō (1787-1861), Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) and Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916). Each artist fashions a lyric subjectivity constituted by the kinds of blending found in literati painting and poetry. I argue that each artist’s thoughts and feelings emerge in the tensions generated in the process of blending forms, genres, and the ideas (aesthetic, philosophical, social, cultural, and historical) that they carry with them.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

Bringing together original historical research on the radical press and close readings of Yiddish avant-garde poetry by Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Peretz Markish, Yankev Glatshteyn, and others, I show that the development of anarchist modernism was both a transnational literary trend and a complex worldview. My research draws from hitherto unread material in international archives to document the world of the Yiddish anarchist press and assess the scope of its literary influence. The dissertation’s theoretical framework is informed by diaspora studies, gender studies, and translation theory, to which I introduce anarchist diasporism as a new term.

  • An Archipelago of Readers: the Beginnings of Archipelago and International Publishing on the World Wide Web
    An Archipelago of Readers: The Beginnings of Archipelago and International Publishing on the World Wide Web Katherine McNamara A Talk Given at University of Trier, English and Media Studies Departments May 24, 2005 Precarious In 1989, did we realize that the twentieth century ended? The world had changed; the change began, I would say, on February 14 that year, when the nation of Iran issued a fatwa, a death-sentence, against the novelist Salman Rushdie. He was an Indian citizen with an international reputation living in London, and he was sentenced to death by a foreign government for a work of fiction. That was a terrible shock and sent fear instantly through writers everywhere in the world. I wonder if we recall that fear now. We should recall it. Its memory has affected all of literary life, in that we can no longer believe without question that free speech is indivisible in a civilized, democratic society. In those years I lived in New York and had a book contract with Viking, Rushdie's American publisher. My editor told me that the chief officers of Viking had for a month eaten and slept in different hotels every night for safety, and that the cost of defending the Viking operations was more than a million dollars. (In July 1991, Rushdie's Japanese 1 Katherine McNamara Institutional Memory and the Prospect of Publishing translator would be killed, his Italian translator wounded; in October 1993, his Norwegian publisher would be shot and seriously injured. Rushdie had been put at once into protective custody by the British MI5 and would be guarded for the next ten years, until the fatwa was cancelled, if that is the proper verb.) It was a peculiar moment privately, too, because the book I was writing was about Alaska, and about my work as an itinerant poet among Native people in Alaska.

    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Marija Igerc Ekonomska učinkovitost globalnih medijskih konglomeratov Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2015 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Marija Igerc Mentor: red. prof. dr. Borut Marko Lah Ekonomska učinkovitost globalnih medijskih konglomeratov Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2015 Ekonomska učinkovitost globalnih medijskih konglomeratov V zadnjih tridesetih letih so prevzemi in spojitve postali ena najpogostejših strategij podjetij v medijski industriji. Mnogi avtorji takšno združevanje medijskih podjetij povezujejo z maksimiranjem dobička, saj naj bi se na ta način povečala tako tržna moč kot tudi učinkovitost poslovanja podjetij. V diplomskem delu trdim, da koncentrirano medijsko lastništvo ne povečuje ekonomske učinkovitosti kapitala. Sinergije ne prinašajo pričakovanih izjemnih dobičkov. Doseg diplomskega dela ni tako velik, da bi lahko sama izvedla kvantitativno analizo največjih globalnih medijskih konglomeratov, zato sem ga napisala pretežno teoretično, ob tem pa sem se naslonila na nekaj mednarodno objavljenih študij. Rezultati delno podpirajo mojo prvotno hipotezo, saj so pokazali, da nekateri ekonomski kazalniki ne kažejo boljših rezultatov v tistih medijskih podjetjih, v katerih se je kapital v veliki meri združeval in koncentriral. Zdi se, da so megamedijske združitve za marsikoga razočaranje. Ključne besede: medijska industrija, prevzemi in spojitve, medijski konglomerati, koncentracija lastništva, sinergije. Economic efficiency of global media conglomerates In the past thirty years, acquisitions and mergers have become one of the most common strategies of companies in the media industry. Many authors associate such integration of media companies with profit maximization, since it should increase market power and efficiency of business operations. In the thesis I argue that concentrated media ownership does not increase the economic efficiency of capital.

  • Rodchenko in Paris
    Rodchenko in Paris CHRISTINA KIAER "The light from the East is not only the liberation of workers," the Russian Constructivist Aleksandr Rodchenko wrote in a letter home from Paris in 1925, "the light from the East is in the new relation to the person, to woman, to things. Our things in our hands must be equals, comrades, and not these black and mournful slaves, as they are here."' Rodchenko was in Paris on his first and only trip abroad to arrange the Soviet section of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels, for which he built his most famous Constructivist "thing," the Workers' Club interior. His lucidly spare, geometric club embodies the rational- ized utilitarian object of everyday life proposed at this time by Russian Constructivist artists and Lef theorists such as Boris Arvatov. And Rodchenko's invocation of the socialist object from the East as a "comrade" corresponds to Arvatov's theory of the new industrial object as an active "co-worker" in the construction of socialist life, in contrast to the passive capitalist commodity-Rodchenko's "black and mournful slaves"-oriented toward display and exchange.2 Yet there is something uncanny about the stark, constrained order of the Workers' Club that exceeds Arvatov's theory, a visual uncanny that corresponds to the curious intensity and pathos of Rodchenko's verbal plea for "our things in our hands." In this essay I want to propose that the language of Rodchenko's letters and the visual forms of his club elaborate, in a more subjective register, upon the Constructivist theory of the object-an elaboration that endows that object with a body and places it within the field of desire that is organized, under capitalism, by the commodity form.
