January 2011Sending Law to the Countryside: Research on China's Basic-Level Judical System
by Su Li
The author explores answers to these questions: What kind of law can effectively respond to the actual needs to construct a fair and orderly society? With a vast expanse of rural areas different from the urban areas, what should China do to deal with its basic judicial system for the rural society? Just like Mr. Fei Xiaotong, the pioneering sociologist and anthropologist, Professor Su Li stayed in the countryside, studied the rule of law at the grassroots level and solved practical problems, thus making his contribution in law for the grassroots people. This book presents ideas that are quite new and subversive to Chinese intellectuals who are accustomed to the principles of Western jurisprudence, and has aroused heated debate in China’s jurisprudential circle since its publication.

The ArtsSeptember 2008Entertaining television
The BBC and popular television culture in the 1950s
by Su Holmes
Entertaining television challenges the idea that the BBC in the 1950s was elitist and 'staid', upholding Reithian values in a paternalistic, even patronising way. By focusing on a number of (often controversial) programme case studies - such as the soap opera, the quiz/ game show, the 'problem' show and programmes dealing with celebrity culture - Su Holmes demonstrates how BBC television surprisingly explored popular interests and desires. She also uncovers a number of remarkable connections with programmes and topics at the forefront of television today, ranging from talk shows, 'Reality TV', even to our contemporary obsession with celebrity. The book is iconclastic, percipient and grounded in archival research, and will be of use to anyone studying television history. ;

Michel Ezra Safra y sus hijos
by Amnon Shamosh
Michel Ezra Safra y sus hijos por Amnon Shamosh “Michel Ezra Safra y sus hijos” es una saga familiar, escrita por el muy bien conocido escritor Israelí Amnon Shamosh. La historia es semi biográfica y toma lugar de forma parcial en Alepo, Siria, el lugar de nacimiento del autor. El libro describe la vida, las luchas, y la dispersión de una adinerada familia de sirio-judíos durante el curso de tres generaciones, comenzando a los mediados de los años 30. La historia de la familia Ezra Safra es la historia de una familia judía del medio oriente y sus valores básicos tradicionales, los cuales son constantemente desafiados por otras normas, ya sean circunstanciales como universales. Sacudida por levantamientos locales como globales, la familia encabezada por Michel y su hermosa esposa Linda, es obligada a abandonar su hogar, la ciudad de Alepo, durante los disturbios generados por la resolución de las Naciones Unidas a finales de 1947, de establecer el estado judío en Palestina. Michel, un hombre práctico, continúa manejando su imperio económico. Su poder sobre sus hijos parece desvanecerse, sin embargo, aunque aún disfruta de su respeto y cariño. Rachmo, el hijo mayor y su aparente heredero, dirige la sucursal del negocio familiar en Paris, pero su comportamiento como hombre de familia no cumple con los estándares de sus padres. Alberto, el hermano menor, aborrece el negocio familiar y rehuye el curso que se espera que tome. Encuentra una salida en las actividades sionistas clandestinas, incluyendo el “contrabando” de judíos hacia Palestina. Los otros 5 hijos e hijas Safra emigran a Europa, Estados Unidos e Israel. Lo que más preocupa, obsesiona y perturba a Michel, no es la situación financiera de su imperio, sino el grave “pecado” que ha cometido. Cuando la vieja sinagoga de Alepo fue incendiada, Michel rescató los rollos de la Torá “Aram de Soba” y logró rescatarlos del fuego. Se llevó un pedazo de su más preciado y sagrado rollo y secretamente lo guardó en una caja fuerte en Niza, Francia. Mientras su tesoro está protegido, Michel interpreta las tragedias que sufre su familia como un castigo divino. A través de la novela, el lector sigue a Michel a través de sus viajes por el mundo, estableciendo asuntos familiares como comerciales. Sin embargo sufre de una débil salud y de culpa de conciencia. La vida de su hijo Alberto, ahora un influyente miembro de una comunidad colectiva en Israel, es completamente ajeno a él. La saga de la familia Ezra Safra llega a su final cuando Michel muere de tristeza unos pocos días después de la muerte de su nieto durante la guerra de los Seis Días en 1967. Más tarde, Rachmo, que tomó parte en el secreto de su padre, muere de un ataque al corazón al saber que el rollo en Niza ha sido robado. Linda concuerda unirse con sus hijos en Israel, pero rechaza vivir con ellos. Ella escoge vivir una vida solitaria, rodeada de fotos y memorias del pasado. La novela “Michel Ezra Safra” fue llevada a la televisión como una mini-serie, teniendo un altísimo éxito. Amnon Shamosh nació en Siria en 1929, inmigró a Tel Aviv de niño, y llegó a ser posteriormente uno de los miembros fundadores de Kibutz Ma'ayan Baruch, donde reside hasta hoy en día. Se graduó en la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén .Es autor tanto de poesía como de prosa para niños y adultos, su trabajo se ha traducido al inglés, al español, y al francés, y una de sus novelas fue llevada a la televisión en forma de miniserie. Amnon Shamosh ha sido galardonado con el Premio "Agnon", denominado con ese nombre en honor al laureado célebre israelí Nóbel de Literatura, el Premio "Shalom-Aleichem", el Premio del Primer Ministro de creatividad, el Premio de literatura del presidente de Israel, y numerosos premios de literatura adicionales.
