¿A quién corresponde la fama en la memoria? En América Latina, las políticas nacionales de la memoria se han basado en la veneración de héroes, apoteizados por sus actos sobrehumanos e inaccesibles desde el ambito cotidiano. Con el otro heroe y la otra heroina nuestra mirada se dirige hacia la evolucion de modelos de referencia alternativos, surgidos de la memoria social y al margen del discurso oficial. A traves de dieciocho estudios individuales examinamos la elevacion del otro heroe bajo cuatro aspectos: la resurreccion del sujeto subalterno; el rol de la comunidad conmemorativa en las diversas dinamicas historico-politicas y literarias; la reintroduccion de nuevos heroes por parte de academicos y finalmente, la polemica suscitada por culturas de memoria controversiales, ejemplificada a traves de monumentos demolidos, redes de medios sociales y grafitis politicos.Nationale Erinnerungspolitiken beruhen auf der Verehrung stilisierter Heldenfiguren. Unser Blick auf den lateinamerikanischen Raum und seine Helden-Produktion gilt jedoch dem "anderen" Helden in vier Aspekten. In 18 Einzelstudien aus 10 lateinamerikanischen Landern und Epochen untersucht dieser Band den (posthumen) Aufstieg Subalterner den Mitgliedern von Randgruppen und Frauen zu nationalen HeldInnen. Es wird beispielhaft analysiert, wie der Heldenstatus historisch und literarisch gefasst sowie politisch verordnet, aber auch wieder entzogen werden konnte. Die Beitragerinnen und Beitrager betrachten Helden ohne Aussicht auf Heldenstatus in der nationalen Arena und die Ausdrucksformen heutiger kontroverser Erinnerungskulturen am Beispiel demolierter Monumente, sozialer Medien und politischer Graffiti.National memory politics are based on hero cults. However, our glance on Latin America and its hero production is directed towards the other hero, underscoring fourfold aspects. Through 18 case studies about ten American countries and epochs, this volume examines the (posthumous) rise of subaltern figures members of marginalized groups and women who became national heroes. Based on individual case studies, it will be analyzed, how the hero status was historically and literarily constructed and politically managed, but also how this status could be withdrawn on political grounds. We thematize historical figures that can be regarded as heroes even if they failed to attain heroic status in their national arenas and we study representational forms of currently controversial memory cultures, exemplified by demolished monuments, social media and political graffiti.

The studies collected in this volume, some of them rather difficult of access, date mostly from the last fifteen years and focus primarily on Persian book painting of the 14th to the early 16th centuries. In this period Iran dominated the art of book painting in the Islamic world. The articles reprinted here examine various aspects of this, the golden age of Persian painting. They range from the period of Mongol rule, when the impact of Far Eastern themes and modes radically transformed the heritage bequeathed to Iran by Arab painting - a textbook case of the clash of civilisations - to the dawn of the modern era and the swansong of the classical style of Persian painting under the early Safavids. Yet other articles focus on the roots of book painting in the themes and styles developed in painted ceramics, on medieval Quranic calligraphy, on bookbinding and on the remarkably original variations played on the hitherto hackneyed theme of the figural frontispiece by Arab painters. Two major leitmotifs are explored in this selection of essays. One is provided by the constantly varying interpretations of the Shahnama (The Book of Kings), the Persian national epic, and especially the tendency of painters to interpret this familiar text in terms of contemporary politics. The other is the interplay of text and image, which highlights the tendency of painters to strike out on their own and to leave the literal text progressively further behind while they develop plots and sub-plots of their own. These enquiries are set within the context of a concerted effort to explore in detail how Persian painters achieved their most spectacular visual effects. In its combination of general surveys and closely focused analyses of individual manuscripts, this collection of articles will be of interest to specialists in book painting and in Islamic art as a whole.

I have often wondered as to how much inexhaustible variety of knowledge and expertise is packed in Mohans lean and thin frame. The best of all is that his writings bring a lot of knowledge in an easy reading, which is laced with his customary wit and humour, thus making for compulsive reading. Keep writing Mohan, our friend, so that we can keep going!General Nirmal Chander Vij,PVSM, UYSM, AVSMMohan Kanda delights us even as he educates us in these nuggets of plain good sense, intelligence and, above all, utter honesty. If wisdom can come with a smile or laughter with a lesson, they do so in these editorials. I can only say, Keep writing, dear friend.Gopalkrishna Gandhi,formerly Diplomat and Governor of West Bengal.An amazing and heady mix of reflections and recollections, not only pertaining to the vast variety of postings of Mohan over his career, but also about matters of interest and importance, especially to the youth. Every day something entirely different is thrown up and that keeps interest going.V.K. Agnihotri, former Secretary General, Rajya SabhaContents:1. Bringing up the Parents2.

Lo studio dellopera di Augusto Righi, laccesso diretto a importanti fonti originali, lampia presa di visione della bibliografia esistente hanno consentito la realizzazione di una prima, vera, ampia biografia di questo straordinario personaggio. Fisico, matematico, ingegnere, filosofo della scienza, grande didatta, conferenziere sperimentale straordinario a Righi sono dovuti studi, ricerche, scoperte, realizzazioni, anticipazioni scientifiche e tecniche che fanno di lui uno dei maggiori scienziati della fisica del suo tempo. Senatore del Regno fu pluripremiato a livello nazionale ed internazionale, fece parte di importanti Commissioni, e a lui furono affidati compiti pubblici di altissima responsabilita?. Fu uno dei fondatori della Teoria ionica ed elettronica della struttura della materia. A lui, e ad Hertz, si deve la conferma sperimentale della Teoria elettromagnetica della luce di Maxwell. Ora il suo nome e? ricordato per essere stato un ispiratore del grande Guglielmo Marconi, che impiego?, nei suoi primi esperimenti di telegrafia senza fili, proprio loscillatore a tre scintille di Righi, ma i suoi meriti vanno al di la? di questa importantissima collaborazione. A lui si devono limpiego spettacolare e originale dei microfoni e altoparlanti per trasmettere voci e suoni a distanza, open air (in telegrafia tradizionale a fili); linvenzione di un primo sistema di riproduzione fotostatica; lanticipazione dellEffetto Zeeman; lelaborazione sin dal 1907 di un modello atomico nucleare, la costruzione dellelettrometro ad induzione, che anticipo? lacceleratore di Van de Graaff; lapertura dei settori della fisica dello stato solido, dei plasmi e delle microonde; notevoli i suoi contributi alla fisica matematica, tra cui la sua risoluzione generalizzata delle equazioni di Maxwell. Questi alcuni esempi che si offrono al Lettore del presente volume.

Tloha es una palabra del idioma Sesoto, que se habla en un pequeño país africano, y que significa El Olvido."Desde el reino de Tloha" es eso, el intento de encerrar en la palabra la vida de un escritor y preservarla asi de la aniquilacion total que supone el olvido, un intento vano de tocar la trascendencia.Mediante un diario, ora en El Otero, Toledo, ora en Monteprincipe, Madrid, ora en El valle del Marinero, Marte, el escritor va describiendo los cambios que su vida va tomando al acercarse a su fin: por un lado con los achaques propios de la ancianidad - incontinencia, impotencia, etc. -, por otro con la perdida cognitiva de su esposa, que le lleva directamente y angustiosamente a releer todo lo escrito desde los tiempos de la transicion hasta finales de 2017, que es el momento historico en el que se situa la linea temporal principal de la novela."Desde el reino de Tloha" es la obra completa que Santiago Solano Grande ha ido urdiendo durante mas de cuarenta y cinco años, una novela de libros, una biografia de lo escrito, un repaso a la historia de España. Es tambien poesia, con anotaciones criticas de grandes personajes reales de la vida literaria de finales del XX y principios del XXI, relatos, cuentos breves, muy breves, micro relatos, novelas de ciencia ficcion: una Inteligencia Artificial en forma de bicicleta que toma conciencia ante las murallas de Toledo, un superviviente de la Humanidad, Elias Quimey, medio hombre, medio maquina, que busca en el oceano de datos post humanos la esencia de la Humanidad, y que termina descubriendo que la muerte tambien existe para el.En definitiva, "Desde el reino de Tloha" es una tetralogia que se va mas alla de las 1500 paginas, un lugar magico en el que lo real se viste con el manto de lo imaginado y no parece tal. O si prefieres un mundo imaginario que parece la intrahistoria de una realidad que se ha ido para siempre.

A comprehensive portrait of the controversial self-taught archaeologist C. C. Abbott. In the late nineteenth century, Charles Conrad Abbott, a medical doctor and self-taught archaeologist, gained notoriety for his theories on early humans. He believed in an American Paleolithic, represented by an early Ice Age occupation of the New World that paralleled that of Europe, a popular scientific topic at the time. He attempted to prove that the Trenton gravels-glacial outwash deposits near the Delaware River-contained evidence of an early, primitive population that pre-dated Native Americans. His theories were ultimately overturned in acrimonious public debate with government scientists, most notably William Henry Holmes of the Smithsonian Institution. His experience-and the rise and fall of his scientific reputation-paralleled a major shift in the field toward an increasing professionalization of archaeology (and science as a whole). This is the first biography of Charles Conrad Abbott to address his archaeological research beyond the Paleolithic debate, including his early attempts at historical archaeology on Burlington Island in the Delaware River, and prehistoric Middle Woodland collections made throughout his lifetime at Three Beeches in New Jersey, now the Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark. It also delves into his modestly successful career as a nature writer. As an archaeologist, he held a position with the Peabody Museum at Harvard University and was the first curator of the American Section at the Penn Museum. He also attempted to create a museum of American archaeology at Princeton University. Through various sources including archival letters and diaries, this book provides the most complete picture of the quirky and curmudgeonly, C. C. Abbott.

En agosto de 1964, el politólogo germano estadounidense Hans Morgenthau se dirigió a la Fundación Rockefeller con la idea de que el mundialmente famoso jurista Hans Kelsen viajara al lago de Como, en Italia, donde la Fundacion aun posee la Villa Serbelloni, para escribir una historia intelectual de su vida y de su epoca. Sin embargo, la Fundacion Rockefeller se mostro esceptica respecto de si el academico de 83 años, que en ese momento vivia en Berkeley (California), podria seguir viajando a Europa y escribir una obra de estas caracteristicas. Morgenthau sugirio que la biografia se escribiera en Berkeley y que Kelsen tuviera una secretaria. Para ocupar este cargo, Morgenthau sugirio a Helen Smelser, quien era la esposa de Neil Smelser, un profesor de sociologia de Berkeley que habia trabajado con Kelsen anteriormente. De hecho, la Fundacion Rockefeller concedio posteriormente una subvencion de 3.500 dolares para que la obra pudiera comenzar a escribirse.Solo en ese momento, Hans Kelsen, el "sujeto" sobre quien se hablaba en la correspondencia entre Morgenthau y la Fundacion Rockefeller, pudo hablar por si mismo: aunque Kelsen estaba decididamente dispuesto a poner su vida por escrito, consideraba que la señora Smelser, que no hablaba aleman, no era apta para asumir el papel que le habian asignado. La unica persona que podia ayudarle a escribir una autobiografia, segun el, era su antiguo alumno y ayudante de su epoca en Viena y Colonia, Rudolf Aladar Metall. No obstante, Metall debia seguir trabajando en la Organizacion Internacional del Trabajo (ILO), en Ginebra, hasta agosto de 1966. A pesar de todo, la Fundacion Rockefeller acepto este cambio de planes. Asi, inmediatamente despues de su jubilacion, en otoño de 1966, Metall viajo a Berkeley, donde se encontro con su maestro academico que al parecer se mantenia en buena forma. Al fin y al cabo, como informo Metall mas tarde, su maestro permanecia ocupado leyendo las pruebas de la traduccion al ingles de la segunda edicion de su Reine Rechtslehre [Teoria pura del derecho]. En la casa de Kelsen, en el numero 2126 de la avenida de Los Angeles, Metall pudo consultar, para la redaccion del libro, "la biblioteca privada de Hans Kelsen [] asi como toda su correspondencia personal". Sin embargo, la autobiografia nunca llego a publicarse; quizas porque la salud de Kelsen se habia deteriorado rapidamente en el entretanto, o quizas tambien porque Kelsen penso que era mejor que el manuscrito que habia surgido no apareciera bajo su propio nombre. En cualquier caso, tres años despues, en 1969, el propio Metall publico el libro Hans Kelsen. Leben und Werke [Hans Kelsen. Vida y obra]. Infortunadamente, solo en la sobrecubierta, y no en el propio texto, se advierte de que el libro es una "biogra

This is the incredible story of why and how Winston Churchill in his mid-50s decided to write an autobiography designed to reshape his image and to reduce an overwhelming personal debt burden. The book, My Early Life, emerged from a truly Churchillian writing process that was both complicated and highly focused. An extensive dictation process using both external research and his own previously written materials created a rough draft. Then additional researchers, reviewers and publishers on two continents helped mold the final product. My Early Life is Churchills Aeneid and many sections approach lyric poetry in the style of writing and in its visual and emotional impact. How all this came about is described and analyzed in this book. It further explores just how successful an endeavor this was and the global impact this book has had on literature and as a source for educational and literary publications.

Die Tetralogie Verloschene Lichter ist die Schilderung von blo funfzehn Monaten Hitlerholle. Das ist nur ein Fragment der Vernichtung und nicht einmal das grausamste, wenn man von auen darauf schaut.Mordechai Strigler, 1950Bereits kurz nach seiner Befreiung aus dem Konzentrationslager Buchenwald im April 1945 begann Mordechai Strigler, seine Erfahrungen in den Lagern des besetzten Polens literarisch zu verarbeiten. Wie kaum ein anderer Zeitzeugenbericht beschreibt Striglers Text mit beispielloser Schonungslosigkeit die Lagerorganisation und das Lagerleben sowie den Umgang der judischen Gefangenen untereinander.In Schicksale schildert Strigler die Zeit vom Winter 1943/44 bis zur Schlieung der Munitionsfabrik und Vorbereitung der Evakuierung der Haftlinge im August 1944. Er konzentriert sich dabei auf die Menschen in Werk C des Arbeitslagers Skar?ysko-Kamienna und ihre Beziehungen zueinander. Das Eintreffen von assimilierten und getauften, aber auch deutsche Juden aus Krakau im Lager im Fruhjahr 1944 verscharfte schwelende Konflikte: Aufgrund der vielen sozialen Unterschiede entstanden unter ihnen Spannungen, die das Leben der Gefangenen teils dramatisch verschlechterten. Strigler liefert damit ungewohnlich offen eine Sozialstudie judischer Schicksale in deutscher Gefangenschaft.

The creative genius behind Founders Building at Royal Holloway, University of London, arguably the most glorious building in England of the end of the nineteenth century, is widely respected and its architectural style is regarded as archetypally Victorian. Yet its architect, William Henry Crossland, is little known, despite a substantial catalogue of buildings, most of which remain standing today. Bringing Crossland out of the shadows, this biography explores this mysterious and elusive figure in depth for the first time. Recently digitised documents and long-hidden archival material have thrown a powerful light on Crossland, which, together with the authors first-hand knowledge of his buildings, offer the reader an unprecedented appreciation and understanding of the man, his life and work, as well as his personal and artistic influences. W.H. Crossland fills a gap in nineteenth-century architectural knowledge, but it is also the touching story of an ambitious and talented man, who is long overdue to be recognised as one of the greats among nineteenth-century architects. This book is intended for architects, architectural historians and anyone who is interested in the built environment, nineteenth-century history and intriguing personal stories.

In 1953, Freud biographer Ernest Jones revealed that the famous hysteric Anna O. was really Bertha Pappenheim (1859-1936), the prolific author, German-Jewish feminist, pioneering social worker, and activist. Elizabeth Loentz directs attention away from the young woman who arguably invented the talking cure and back to Pappenheim and her post-Anna O. achievements. Her writings, especially, reveal her to be one of the most versatile, productive, influential, and controversial Jewish thinkers and leaders of her time. Pappenheims oeuvre includes stories, plays, poems, prayers, travel literature, letters, essays, speeches, and aphorisms. She translated Mary Wollstonecrafts Vindication of the Rights of Women as well as the Memoirs of Gluckel of Hamelnand other Old Yiddish texts into German. She was discussed as both writer and newsmaker in German-Jewish newspapers of every religious and political affiliation and in German feminist publications. As founder and leader of the League of Jewish Women in Germany and the international League of Jewish Women, she was at the forefront of the campaign to combat human trafficking and forced prostitution. A pioneer of modern Jewish social work, she founded a home for at-risk girls and unwed mothers and advocated on behalf of Jewish women, children, refugees, and immigrants. Her accomplishments are all the more remarkable because she attained them after struggling to recover from the debilitating mental illness chronicled in Freud and Breuers Studies on Hysteria(1895). Loentz examines how Pappenheim engaged, in words and deeds, with the key political, social, and cultural issues concerning German Jewry in the early decades of the twentieth century: the status of the Yiddish language, Zionism, the conversion epidemic, responses to the plight of Eastern European Jews, and Jewish spirituality. Pappenheims unique approach to each of these issues balanced allegiances to feminism, the Jewish religion, and German culture. Loentz also explores how biographers and artists have rediscovered Pappenheim, rewritten her life story, and renegotiated her identity.
