In her book, Natalia Yakovenko, Doctor of Sciences in History, Professor at NaUKMA (National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy), examines the "national-state" paradigm of Ukrainian history and revises inherited methodologies of the bygone age, starting from populist historiography, that still nourish (not to say ‘feed’) our academic historiography.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2007Introduction to the history
by Natalia Yakovenko
The new book by the well-known Ukrainian historian, chief of the Department of history of National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, professor Natalia Yakovenko, despite being a university textbook and a propaedeutic course on a professional subject, is written in a simple and easy to read manner which is far from academic cliché and embodies high academic style in its best meaning. However, the word 'textbook' even in its most positive meaning applies to this book only as a kind of mask that hides much more complex structure, not only stylistically but by its content and pragmatism as well. As the professor herself admits, this book does not belong to any classic genres. This is not a history of historiography, not a methodology of history and this is not an introduction to history as well.

September 1991Ein Mann und eine Frau
Aus dem Italienischen von Arianna Giachi
by Natalia Ginzburg, Arianna Giachi
Natalia Ginzburg erzählt Geschichten über eine Zeitkrankheit: über den Zerfall familiärer, ehelicher, freundschaftlicher, verwandtschaftlicher Beziehungen. Sie erzählt ohne Pathos und ohne Sentimentalität, unaufwendig und daher um so wirkungsvoller, um so radikaler in ihrem Protest gegen die italienische Gesellschaft mit ihrem Familien-, Mütter- und Kinderkult. »Ein Mann und eine Frau« ist die Geschichte eines Mannes, der im überholten, ermüdenden Rahmen einer Familie lebt und ständig mit dem konfrontiert ist, was hätte sein können: seine einzige echte Beziehung war die zu der Frau, mit der er vor seiner Ehe gelebt hat. Die zweite Erzählung »Borghesia«. »Das Lied vom Bürgertum« erzählt von einer Frau, die mit ihren Katzen lebt, die kommen und gehen, geboren werden und sterben. Und wie in einer Parabel läßt sich das Leben ihrer Katzen auf das ihrer Familie überragen: man kommt, man geht, lebt unverbindlich, beziehungslos wie die Katzen.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2023Nombres propios (Proper nouns)
by Mercedes Alvarado
In the face of uncertainty, we have lost the right to mourn; in the face of this, perhaps all that remains is to search, to ask, to name. This is a book that puts memory in the foreground, a recognition of the collective mourning that runs through us. Nombres propios is an approach to the legitimate and loving resistance that sustains the living victims of violence in Mexico. As Natalia Mendoza notes in the prologue: Alvarado's verses point to the concrete mechanism that could inaugurate a new time.
