This text consists of identifying literary elements with historical guidelines in eleven stories selected from three texts entitled Historia Secreta de Chile (Secret History of Chile) written by the Chilean Jorge Baradit. These narratives are framed in historical events that occurred in Chile between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. Such stories, with historical glimpses, make up the analysis, the purpose of which is to elucidate the author's narrative style and identify elements typical of literature. Consequently, the study is preceded by a review of the cultural-literary framework in which literary and artistic terms such as postmodernism, contemporary literature and historical fiction are examined in depth, considering theorists from the 20th century onwards. In addition, an approach has been made to the artistic and literary movement known as Freak Power, to which the author Jorge Baradit belongs. Finally, four axes of analysis have been determined: discursive reconstruction between person-fact-character, symbolism of fire, dehumanisation of the self and recusation of the dictator. These themes are transversal in the stories chosen for this analysis.

Was migration to Germany a blessing or a curse? The main argument of this book is that the Greek state conceived labor migration as a traineeship into Europeanization with its shiny varnish of progress. Jumping on a fully packed train to West Germany meant leaving the past behind. However, the tensed Cold War realities left no space for illusions; specters of the Nazi past and the Greek Civil War still haunted them all. Adopting a transnational approach, this monograph retargets attention to the sending state by exploring how the Greek Gastarbeiter's welfare was intrinsically connected with their homeland through its exercise of long-distance nationalism. Apart from its fresh take in postwar migration, the book also addresses methodological challenges in creative ways. The narrative alternates between the macro- and the micro-level, including subnational and transnational actors and integrating a diverse set of primary sources and voices. Avoiding the trap of exceptionalism, it contextualizes the Greek case in the Mediterranean and Southeast European experience.

Wahrnehmung und Einstellung der Bevölkerung zum Strafvollzug werden entscheidend von den ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Informationen geprägt. Fehleinschätzungen der Strafvollzugswirklichkeit sind das Ergebnis von wechselseitigen Kommunikationsprozessen, auf deren Ebenen, abhängig vom Strafvollzugszeitgeist, unterschiedliche Strafvollzugswirklichkeiten dargestellt werden. Aufgrund der spärlichen Informationsquellen der Bürger stellen die medialen Nachrichten mitunter die einzige Quelle dar, anhand derer die Rezipienten ihre Einstellung und Meinung zum Strafvollzug entwickeln. Ausgehend von diesen Überlegungen befasst sich die Dissertation mit der Frage, wie die lokale Presse über den Strafvollzug berichtet. Die Datengrundlage der Inhaltsanalyse bilden 1603 Presseartikel, die in der Meppener Tagespost erschienen sind.

Klaus Høecks ikoniske digtsamling fra 1977 ULRIKE MARIE MEINHOF er sammen med SORTE SONETTER (1981) en af de mørkeste danske digtsamlinger i det tyvende århundrede. Det er hævntørstige og uforsonlige digte om undertrykkelse og hykleri i en selvretfærdig og voldelig verden, hvor en statsmagt kan dømme og dræbe sine modstandere, mens den samtidig legaliserer sin egen vold og undertrykkelse.

The Sunday Times Sports Book of the YearA Times Book of the YearA Financial Times Book of the YearA Guardian Book of the YearA New Statesman Book of the Year'The heartwarming story of the collaboration and friendship between English football's oddest couple, Elton John and Graham Taylor' The Times' A wonderful, feel-good account of an ultimately English provincial story' Simon Kuper_____________________ An unforgettable British underdog story from one of our greatest narrative nonfiction writers, John Preston, and the international musical icon and bestselling author, Sir Elton John.Britain in the 1970s was beset by unrest and unemployment, as inflation soared, fuel was scarce, and hooliganism was on the rise. And for Watford FC, the outlook was even gloomier. Rundown and rat-infested, Watford were an ailing side with holes in their kit and barely enough fans to fill a stand. Of the 92 clubs in the Football League, spread across four divisions, Watford were in 92nd place.Meanwhile, Elton John was the most successful rockstar in the world. With six-inch platforms, spangled jumpsuits, and peroxide hair, he was glamorous, gay, and seemingly a world away from the semi-detached house in Pinner where he had supported Watford FC as a child. Many assumed he would move to America. Instead, he bought the football club.Watford Forever is the remarkable story of Elton John's ownership of Watford FC and its transformational journey to the top of the First Division under iconic manager Graham Taylor. Perhaps most remarkably, four of the same players who had been written off as has-beens went with them all the way from the bottom to the top. Inspiring and infectiously funny, this is a tribute to football's unlikeliest friendship as Elton John and Taylor, a straight-talking former fullback with a love of Vera Lynn, beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a community.Immersed in the grime and glamour of '70s Britain, Watford Forever is one of sport's great underdog stories and a love letter to the beautiful game.

Florence is finishing her degree in psychology while hoping to get pregnant. But Henry isn't sure he's ready for fatherhood...Both sets of couples face the challenges of marriage, fidelity, and pregnancy. The characters and their ghosts bump into and weave around each other, not knowing that they once all inhabited the same space.A novel in the key of Éric Rohmer, Scaffolding is about the bonds we create with people, and the difficulty of ever fully severing them; about the ways that people we've known live on in us; and about the way that the homes we make hold communal memories of the people who've lived in them and the stories that have been told there.'Atmospheric and evocative, the prose elegant and poised' Observer

Der 28. Band der Edition behandelt die 51 regulären und fünf Sondersitzungen des ersten Kabinetts von Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt im Jahr 1975. Einen thematischen Schwerpunkt bildeten dabei die institutionelle Weiterentwicklung der EG, gerade auch im Hinblick auf die Direktwahl des Europäischen Parlaments, die Angleichung der wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Unterschiede der Mitgliedstaaten sowie die gemeinsame Agrarpolitik. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legte die Bundesregierung als Hauptbeitragszahlerin auf Haushaltsdisziplin und eine verstärkte Kontrolle der EG-Finanzen. Die seit 1973 andauernde Energiekrise und die damit verbundenen Arbeitsmarkt- und Konjunkturprobleme versuchte sie im internationalen Rahmen zu bewältigen. Im November 1975 fand dazu der erste Weltwirtschaftsgipfel in Rambouillet statt. Über verstärkten Dialog mit den erdölproduzierenden Ländern sollten die Energiepreise auf ein für die Wirtschaft verträgliches Niveau gebracht werden. Gleichzeitig zeigten zwei Terrorakte, die Entführung des CDU-Politikers Peter Lorenz in Berlin sowie die Geiselnahme in der deutschen Botschaft in Stockholm, dass der bereits geplante Ausbau der Sicherheitsorgane und deren stärkere Vernetzung dringend umzusetzen war.

Ingen beskriver familie så komplekst, elskeligt og aldeles troværdigt som hende." - Lisa Jewell

"The Pig Farmer's Wife" immerses readers into a transformative era, referred to today as the second wave of feminism. Unfathomable as it may sound, it was a mere fifty years ago when women couldn't own a credit card in their own name, take out a bank loan, or manage their own monies without having a male-overseer agree responsibilty for them. The restrictions of that era lay the groundwork for this novel, with many twists and captivating turns turns as the female protagonists shatter the monetary barriers by ingeniously funding their business through unconventional means. As their enterprise flourished, the women not only challenged and revolutionized public perceptions of women-owned businesses, but they also proved their indispensable value to the community. How did these resourceful women navigate their financial obstacles, and what impact did their success have on societal views today?

'A brilliant, glittering intelligence' Sunday TimesOn Women brings together Susan Sontag's most fearless and incisive writing on women, a crucial aspect of her work that has not until now received the attention it deservesWritten during the height of second-wave feminism, Sontag's essays remain strikingly relevant to our contemporary conversations. At times powerfully in sync and at others powerfully at odds with them, they are always characteristically original in their examinations of the 'biological division of labour', the double-standard for ageing and the dynamics of women's power and powerlessness.As Merve Emre writes in her introduction, On Women offers us 'the spectacle of a ferocious intellect setting itself to the task at hand: to articulate the politics and aesthetics of being a woman in the United States, the Americas and the world.''Boldly provocative' iNews'On Women demonstrates a powerful mind and equally forceful personality' The Herald
