      The IRA 1956–69

      The IRA 1956–69

      Rethinking the Republic

      by Matt Treacy

      While there have been many books written about the IRA since 1916, comparatively little attention has been paid to the organisation during the 1960s, despite the fact that the internal divisions culminating in the 1969 split are often seen as key to the conflict which erupted that year. This book, newly available in paperback, redresses that vacuum and through an exhaustive survey of internal and official sources, as well as interviews with key IRA members, provides a unique and fascinating insight into radical Republican politics which will be of interest to those interested in Irish history and politics. The author looks at the root of the divisions which centred on conflicting attitudes within the IRA on armed struggle, electoral participation and socialism. He argues that while the IRA did not consciously plan the northern 'Troubles', the internal debate of the 1960s had implications for what happened in 1969.

      Catholic nuns and sisters in a secular age

      Britain, 1945–90

      by Carmen M. Mangion

      This is the first in-depth study of post-war female religious life. It draws on archival materials and a remarkable set of eighty interviews to place Catholic sisters and nuns at the heart of the turbulent 1960s, integrating their story of social change into a larger British and international one. Shedding new light on how religious bodies engaged in modernisation, it addresses themes such as the Modern Girl and youth culture, '1968', generational discourse, post-war modernity, the voluntary sector and the women's movement. Women religious were at the forefront of the Roman Catholic Church's movement of adaptation and renewal towards the world. This volume tells their stories in their own words.

      Counterpractice

      Psychoanalysis, politics and the art of French feminism

      by Rakhee Balaram

      Counterpractice highlights a generation of women who used art to define a culture of experimental thought and practice during the period of the French women's movement or Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (1970-81). It considers women's art in relation to some of the most exciting thinkers to have emerged from the French literature and philosophy of the 1970s - Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva - forcing a timely reconsideration of the full spectrum of revolutionary practices by women in the years following the events of May '68. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 images, the book also features an illuminating foreword by art historian Griselda Pollock.

      Women's leisure in England 1920–60

      Women's leisure in England 1920–60

      by Claire Langhame

      This insightful book offers a timely assessment of the complex relationship between women and leisure in England, drawing upon recent feminist theory. Departing from approaches which focus on particular activities or institutions, it places everyday experiences at its centre, presenting a wide-ranging and lively account of changing perceptions, representations and experiences of leisure across the period 1920-60. It addresses the nature of leisure within women's lives, examining shifting understandings of the concept and identifying areas of definitional ambiguity such as the 'family' holiday, shopping and handicrafts. Focusing upon experiences of leisure across the life cycle, it provides a detailed assessment of the particular forms of leisure enjoyed by women at distinct stages of their lives, including cinema-going, dancing, socialising and home-based pursuits. The book demonstrates that experiences and perceptions of leisure were fundamentally structured along life cycle lines: leisure in youth was often characterised by freedom and independence whilst leisure in adulthood became a vehicle for service and duty to others.

      Objects of affection

      The book and the household in late medieval England

      by Myra Seaman

      Objects of affection recovers the emotional attraction of the medieval book through an engagement with a fifteenth-century literary collection known as Oxford, Bodleian Library Manuscript Ashmole 61. Exploring how the inhabitants of the book's pages - human and nonhuman, tangible and intangible - collaborate with its readers then and now, this book addresses the manuscript's material appeal in the ways it binds itself to different cultural, historical and material environments. In doing so it traces the affective literacy training that the manuscript provided its late-medieval English household, whose diverse inhabitants are incorporated into the ecology of the book itself as it fashions spiritually generous and socially mindful household members.

      The Narrative of Carlos Fuentes

      Family, text, nation

      by Steven Boldy

      This study examines the full range of Carlos Fuentes' art, from the critical realism of his early novels to his highly experimental novels of the late sixties, and to his novels from the eighties where national identities are playfully evoked and largely dismantled through intertextual games, migrations of people and ideas ;

      Italy and the Idea of Europe

      by Nancy Jachec, Marsha Meskimmon, Shearer West, Tim Barringer

      Although cultural exchanges were named within the Council of Europe in the mid- 1950s as being second only in importance to the military as a tool for ensuring a stable and integrated Western Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War, European-led initiatives have generally been overlooked in the historiography of art of the immediate post-war period. Popularly remembered as the era of the United States' cultural 'triumph', American Abstract Expressionism in particular is commonly identified as the cultural 'weapon' by which that nation conquered Western European culture. Using the Venice Biennale as a case study, this book challenges the idea that there was an American cultural conquest in the 1950s through the fine arts, arguing instead that Western Europe retained a strong sense of world cultural leadership in the immediate post-war years. An institutional history that combines political and diplomatic with art history, and is informed by extensive archival research, it argues that Italian political and cultural figures actively promoted the 'Idea of Europe' - the Council of Europe's cultural initiative of 1955 designed to promote the idea of a homogeneous post-war European culture - at the Biennale in the form of gesture painting as an international style, as the emblem of a culturally united Western Europe, and as the repository of universal humanist values for the international community. Scholarly but accessible, this book will be of interest not only to researchers and to students of international cultural relations during the Cold War, but to general, interested readers, too. ;

      THE GERMAN GIRL

      by Ulrike Sterblich

      New York City in the sixties: the city that never sleeps, because they have plenty of pills for that. And in between, a girl from West Berlin. Mona is young, pretty and recently moved to New York to make a career for herself. The city that never sleeps hasn't been waiting for her. Although she does quickly meet two men: East Coast aristocrat Sidney, and dark-haired bohemian Adam. Torn between the two, Mona drifts through a world that is supplied with "vitamin injections" by Max Jacobson, aka Dr Feelgood, who fled from the Nazis in Berlin. And so a second thread weaves its way into the story: star photographer Mark Shaw, one of Dr Feelgood’s patients, is found dead in his apartment one day. A coroner starts investigating. There is a lot to be examined, and it involves the rich and beautiful and powerful all the way to the White House …

      Roman

      by Julio Cortázar, Rudolf Wittkopf

      Julio Cortázar wurde am 26. August 1914 in Brüssel geboren. Mit seinen argentinischen Eltern zog er im Alter von vier Jahren in einen Vorort von Buenos Aires. Er absolvierte dort an einer sogenannten »Escuela Normal« eine Ausbildung zum Grundschullehrer und nahm ein Universitätsstudium auf, das er aber er aus finanziellen Schwierigkeiten frühzeitig abbrechen musste. Er arbeitete dann als Lehrer in verschiedenen Provinzschulen und begann in dieser Zeit, sich ernsthaft dem Schreiben zuzuwenden. 1938 erschien ein erster Gedichtband, und 1944 veröffentlichte er seine erste Erzählung in einer Zeitschrift. Im selben Jahr erhielt er an der Universität von Mendoza (Argentinien) eine Dozentur für französische Literatur, aber schon 1946, aus Protest gegen den Wahlsieg Peróns, legte er sein Lehramt nieder. Er veröffentlichte weiter in Zeitschriften, ließ sich zum Übersetzer für Englisch und Französisch ausbilden und erhielt 1951 ein Stipendium des französischen Staates. Er ging nach Paris, wo er bis 1974 als Übersetzer für die UNESCO tätig war. In Paris verfasste er 1963 auch den Roman Rayuela (dt. Rayuela. Himmel und Hölle), der in den sechziger Jahren zum »Kultbuch« einer ganzen Generation von Intellektuellen und Studenten wurde. In Rayuela thematisiert er in provokanter Weise den künstlerischen Schaffensprozess, indem er neben der Handlung selbst »entbehrliche« Kapitel, wie er sie nennt, einfügt, in denen er die ästhetischen Prämissen des Buchs diskutiert. Seit Mitte der sechziger Jahre erschienen erste Übersetzungen seiner Erzählungen ins Englische, Französische, Italienische und Deutsche, und sein internationaler Ruf begann stetig zu wachsen. Es sind vor allem seine Erzählungen (die deutsche Gesamtausgabe, Die Erzählungen, erschien 1998 bei Suhrkamp), die Cortázar bald zu einem der originellsten und kreativsten Autoren Lateinamerikas machten. Seit den sechziger Jahren engagierte sich Cortázar, wie viele lateinamerikanische Intellektuelle, zunehmend politisch, unterstützte die kubanische Revolution, die Regierung Allendes und später auch die sandinistische Revolution in Nicaragua. Sein Gesamtwerk umfasst außer Romanen und Erzählungen auch Theaterstücke, Lyrik und verschiedene Bände mit Kurzprosa; es weist ihn als einen der bedeutendsten Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts aus. Julio Cortázar starb am 12. Februar 1984 in Paris.
