Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Using Europe: territorial party strategies in a multi-level system
by Eve Hepburn
This book explores how regional political parties use Europe to advance their territorial projects in times of rapid state restructuring. It examines the ways in which decentralization and supranational integration have encouraged regional parties to pursue their strategies across multiple territorial levels. This book constitutes the first attempt to unravel the complexities of how nationalist and statewide parties manoeuvre around the twin issues of European integration and decentralization, and exploit the shifting linkages within multi-level political systems. In a detailed comparative examination of three cases - Scotland, Bavaria and Sardinia - over a thirty-year period, the book explores how integration has altered the nature of territorial party competition and identifies the limits of Europe for territorial projects. In addressing these issues, this work moves beyond present scholarship on multi-level governance to explain the diversity of regional responses to Europe. By providing important new insights and empirical research on the conduct of territorial party politics, and an innovative model of territorial mobilization in Europe, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of comparative politics, European studies, regionalism and federalism, political parties and devolution. ;

Schwarze Geschichten aus Kuba
by Lydia Cabrera, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Susanne Lange
Guillermo Cabrera Infante wurde 1929 in Gibara, Kuba, geboren. Mit 12 Jahren kam er nach Havanna und nach einem kurzen Studium an der Escuela de Periodismo, der Journalistenschule, arbeitete er als Journalist. Er war Mitgründer der Cinemateca de Cuba und leitete diese von 1951 bis 1956. Ab 1954 schrieb er, unter dem Pseudonym "G. Caín", Filmkritiken für die Wochenzeitschrift Carteles. Er kämpfte gegen das diktatorische Regime Batistas, und seine Eltern waren Mitgründer der kubanischen Kommunistischen Partei. Nach der kubanischen Revolution war er einige Jahre Direktor des nationalen Filminstituts und Chefredakteur der Literaturbeilage Lunes de Revolución, die 1962 eingestellt wurde. Guillermo Cabrera Infante wurde im gleichen Jahr zum Kulturattaché der kubanischen Botschaft in Belgien ernannt. 1965 legte er sein Amt nieder und ging ins freigewählte Exil. Der Autor brach damals, noch vor dem berühmten Padilla-Fall, mit dem Regime Fidel Castros, das die Intellektuellen auf Kuba immer stärker verfolgte und zensierte. Seit 1967 lebte Cabrera Infante in London. Der Autor wurde mit seinem Roman Tres tristes tigres, 1967, (dt. Drei traurige Tiger, 1987) bekannt, der den Preis Biblioteca Breve in Spanien 1964 gewann. Dieser Roman gilt als eines der Hauptwerke der lateinamerikanischen Literatur. Zu den bedeutenden Werken Cabrera Infantes gehören außerdem: Holy smoke (dt. Rauchzeichen, 1990), Vista del amanecer en el trópico (dt. Ansicht der Tropen im Morgengrauen, 1995), Así en la paz como en la guerra (dt. Wie im Kriege also auch im Frieden, 1996), La Habana para un Infante difunto und Cine o sardina (dt. Nichts als Kino, 2001), eine mitunter giftige Liebeserklärung an das Kino. 1997 erhielt Guillermo Cabrera Infante den renommierten Premio Cervantes. Guillermo Cabrera Infante starb am 21. Februar 2005 in London.

FictionThe sad years of Kawabata
by Miguel Sardegna
“Kanjis aren’t words, but images, concepts. Unlike our alphabet, you don’t read a kanji, you look at it. The kanji for tree is the drawing of a tree. The Japanese don’t read the word tree, they stare at the tree”, Japanese literature professor Facundo explains. Days ago, an unknown voice told him about the death of his father. Since that moment, Facundo is enveloped by confusion and memories; his mother, his father, death and a pact of silence that carries him into the present.The protagonist of this novel will find in Kawabata a friend and a teacher, who will help him rethink his family history; and in the Japanese culture, the words to find beauty in the most atrocious circumstances.Miguel Sardegna introduces us to the oneiric world of Japan through his avid gaze of knowledge, and through a plot that traps us forever in this wonderful and ancestral culture. “It’s a love letter to literature, an amazing and amazed journey through the universe of Yasunari Kawabata. You will be surprise by the power of the images”.Juan José Millás

American Civil WarPen of Fire
John Moncure Daniel, 1825–1865
by Peter Bridges (author)
During his short and stormy life, John Moncure Daniel served as U.S. diplomat, journalist, Confederate officer, and conscience of the Confederacy. Strongly pro-slavery, fiercely loyal to the Confederacy, and an outspoken opponent of Jefferson Davis, Daniel made many enemies and fought as many as nine duels. Douglas Southall Freeman called him a strange blend of genius and misanthropy.John Daniel became a leading Richmond editor and a force in the Democratic party by his early twenties. President Franklin Pierce rewarded Daniel for his support in the 1852 campaign by making him American envoy to the kingdom of Sardinia at Turin. There Daniel weathered serious scandals but won high praise for his reporting on Italy’s unification. Daniel returned to Richmond after South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860.Resuming editorship of the Examiner, he pushed successfully for the secession of Virginia (leaving the paper twice to serve as a Confederate officer) and attacked Jefferson Davis as timid, incompetent, and corrupt. Wounded in 1864 in a duel with the Treasurer of the Confederacy, Daniel died in Richmond in March 1865, at age 39, just days before Union troops took the city.This fascinating first biography of Daniel incorporates much new research, including correspondence between foreign ministers in Turin and their envoys in Washington and a series of private letters between John Daniel and his great uncle Peter Vivian Daniel of the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Secretary of War John Floyd, and others. Pen of Fire fills a gap in general American historiography, in published works dealing with nineteenth-century American diplomacy, and in studies of the Civil War.

Il Vermouth di Torino è per eccellenza un simbolo dell’aperitivo in tutto il mondo. Nasce nel 1700 dalla maestria dei liquoristi torinesi, poi diventa un prodotto esportato ovunque.

KARL MARK – AN (IM)POSSIBLE CONVERSATION
by Nicola Spada
The economic crisis of 2008 made Karl Marx’s works highly successful. Considering the growing impoverishment of developed countries, the increase of social inequalities, the threats of war and the spreading unemployment, one wonders whether Marxism cannot be a possible alternative to the current “sprawling globalization regime”. Therefore, Nicola Spada met him and interviewed him. It wasn’t easy, at the beginning, because Marx doesn’t like to be in the spotlight. Nevertheless, after a while he seems to have already forgotten the camera and lets himself go. His words are sharp, analytical, sometimes surprising (when he dismantles his dependence on Giorgio Hegel, for example, or when he clarifies the concept of religion as “opium of the people”). In this dialogue the basis of Marxist thought are deeply analyzed; a difficult but successful work, a book everyone can read. Politics, science, ethics, theology; what would you like to ask to the father of socialism? Here you will find the answers.
