Ce livre tente de lire, d'analyser et d'interpréter trois textes de Virginia Woolf : A Room of One's Own, Three Guineas et Mrs Dalloway dans un contexte matériel où le pouvoir et la résistance se trouvent dans une relation dynamique où ils se renforcent presque mutuellement. En particulier, il s'agira de réfléchir à la construction des femmes impliquées dans le processus de réinvention dans les romans de Virginia Woolf à la lumière du féminisme "matériel" en raison de l'importance primordiale qu'il a eue sur la vision et la créativité de Woolf. Je souhaite remercier ma famille, ma mère Huriye Dimililer et mon père Yahya Dimililer. Merci d'avoir été à mes côtés et d'avoir contribué à ma vie. Sans le soutien de ma famille, tout serait impossible. L'aide d'Ahmet Güneyli a également été très appréciée. Je souhaite dédier ce livre à mon fils, Efe Yahya K¿sac¿k.

"This volume offers the first global and systematic overview of populist politics of history in the twenty-first century. An international group of scholars interrogates how and why populists engage with the past.

Five thematic chapters zoom in on key features of populism: its relation to time, nationalism, emotions, academic expertise, and the language of 'moral remembrance'. The focus is both on left- and right-wing populism, as well as on oppositional populism and populists in power.

Urban Mobilities in Literature and Art Activism explores the entwinement of mobility and immobility in urban spaces by focusing on their representation in literary narratives but also in visual and performing arts. Across a range of geographical contexts, this volume builds on the new mobilities paradigm developed by literary scholars, sociologists and human geographers. The different chapters employ a cohesive framework that is sensitive to the intersecting dimensions of power and discrimination that shape urban kinetic features. The contributions are divided into three sections, each of which places the focus on a different aspect of urban mobility: Itinerant Subjects, Modes of Transport and Places of Transit, and Urban Liminalities.Chapter 7, "Alienation, Abjection and the Mobile Postcolonial City: Public Transport in Ousmane Sembène¿s ¿Niiwam¿ and Yvonne Veräs Without a Name" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

From NBC host and legendary weather authority Al Roker, a gripping and definitive account celebrating the remarkable heroes of the Johnstown Flood?the deadliest in U.S. historyCentral Pennsylvania, May 31, 1889: After a deluge of rainfall?nearly a foot in less than twenty-four hours?swelled the Little Conemaugh River, swiftly rising waters threatened to breach the South Fork dam, built to create a private lake for a fishing and hunting club that counted among its members Andrew Mellon, Henry Clay Frick, and Andrew Carnegie. At 3:10 p.m., the dam gave way, releasing 20 million tons of water. Traveling 40 miles an hour, with swells as high as 60 feet, the deadly floodwaters razed Johnstown, a vibrant steel town home to 20,000 people, in minutes. The Great Flood, as it would come to be called, today remains the deadliest in U.S. history, killing more than 2,200 people and causing $17 million in damage.A testament to the power of the human spirit in times of tragedy, Al Roker's Ruthless Tide is also a timely warning about the dangers of greed, inequality, neglected infrastructure, and the ferocious, uncontrollable power of nature.
