Il matrimonio di Galina sembrava una favola: un marito italiano premuroso, una casa immersa in un paesaggio pittoresco, una figlia adorabile... ma in realtà Galina dovrà affrontare la violenza domestica e fare una scelta difficile: rassegnarsi o fuggire, senza un lavoro né amici e rischiando di perdere la cosa più preziosa che esista nella vita di una madre. Per Anita, un matrimonio stabile, una carriera e una casa accogliente. Tuttavia, l'incontro con Galina la aiuta a riconoscere i campanelli d'allarme in quella che sembra una famiglia normale. Sullo sfondo di una Milano più umana di come viene spesso rappresentata, altre donne immigrate si incontrano e si aiutano per uscire da difficoltà apparentemente insormontabili.

''06.010' ripropone il primo tempo della poesia di Sara Davidovics. È questa una poesia contraddistinta dalla tensione alla visività tramite un utilizzo della pagina quale luogo in cui installare una lingua disarticolata, spazio preposto alla metamorfosi del poema in mappa, in partitura. Protagonista è il corpo femminile, un corpo innervato nei contesti e nelle azioni che ne tramano il vissuto, un ambiente-organismo a metà tra il sintetico e il biologico, un ibrido. E sarà l'ibridazione la cifra di questa scrittura, scrittura in cui si dà continuità tra mediale, organico e industriale, in cui medicina, pratiche sessuali e cura tendono a coincidere e il domestico si apre a una ritualità contesa tra lo psicotico e l'arcaico. Ne scaturisce la cartografia di una realtà riletta a partire da uno sguardo desiderante, retta dalle leggi della libido, ricomposta a partire dalle pulsioni che la sottomettono a un erotismo innalzato a principio architettonico, a rivendicazione politica di una visione altra del reale.' (Ivan Schiavone)

Una giovane coppia sposata ha tutto ciò che molti altri desiderano: manca solo una cosa perché i loro sogni si realizzino. Però la vita non è un mare calmo per nessuno, nemmeno per loro. Improvvisamente, una tragedia. I fantasmi del passato e un peccato dimenticato insorgono contro di loro: 'Una volta giurato, giurato per sempre...'. Quanto amore c'è nelle storie che chiamiamo amore? Valutiamo tutte con la stessa misura? Un'insolita vicenda di incondizionato amore e totale accettazione di una persona, anche se non della sua follia. Pazienza, segreti e promesse che vengono mantenute ad ogni costo. Quando le convinzioni sono così contrastanti, meglio sarebbe non discuterne più: semplicemente amare e tacere...

'Un'esplosione di immagini e suoni, talvolta dissonanti, e i loro progressivo intersecarsi in una perenne oscillazione verso l'altro, quasi con solennità allucinata, un cantare 'quel che è forma delle cose'.' (M. R. Buonarroti)

Shoah and Experience is a collection of essays offering important insights on the nature of Holocaust education with implications for Holocaust education development for future generations, in Israel and worldwide. Special attention is given to the evolving nature of contemporary multimedia society in which youth are inundated with stimuli of all kinds.

Ecotourism and natural resource extraction may be seen as contradictory pursuits, yet in reality they often take place side by side, sometimes even supported by the same institutions. Existing academic and policy literatures generally overlook the phenomenon of ecotourism in areas concurrently affected by extraction industries, but such a scenario is in fact increasingly common in resource-rich developing nations.

This edited volume conceptualises and empirically analyses the ‘ecotourism-extraction nexus’ within the context of broader rural and livelihood changes in the places where these activities occur. The volume’s central premise is that these seemingly contradictory activities are empirically and conceptually more alike than often imagined, and that they share common ground in ethnographic lived experiences in rural settings and broader political economic structures of power and control.

The book offers theoretical reflections on why ecotourism and natural resource extraction are systematically decoupled, and epistemologically and analytically re-links them through ethnographic case studies drawing on research from around the world. It should be of interest to students and professionals engaged in the disciplines of geography, anthropology and development studies.

This is a multi-generational study of how Ottoman merchants in the Balkans navigated the changing social and political landscapes wrought by the emergence of nation-states in the Balkans and the politics of Ottoman decline. Davidova (international studies, Portland State U.) focuses on the experiences of three generations of one family and places their story in the broader milieu of the diverse merchant social class. She applies network analysis to the reconstruction of the professional, family, and social strategies of the merchant class as they relate to such issues as the relationship between economic and political behavior; the impact of modernization on different social groups and generations; the role of language and religion in shaping social, national, and professional identities; the functioning of multiethnic networks; and the role of gender among the Ottoman merchant class.

Labor law is widely considered to be in crisis by scholars of the field. This crisis has an obvious external dimension - labor law is attacked for impeding efficiency, flexibility, and development; vilified for reducing employment and for favoring already well placed employees over less fortunate ones; and discredited for failing to cover the most vulnerable workers and workers in the 'informal sector'. These are just some of the external challenges to labor law. There is also an internal challenge, as labor lawyers themselves increasingly question whether their discipline is conceptually coherent, relevant to the new empirical realities of the world of work, and normatively salient in the world as we now know it.
This book responds to such fundamental challenges by asking the most fundamental questions: What is labor law for? How can it be justified? And what are the normative premises on which reforms should be based? There has been growing interest in such questions in recent years. In this volume the contributors seek to take this body of scholarship seriously and also to move it forward. Its aim is to provide, if not answers which satisfy everyone, intellectually nourishing food for thought for those interested in understanding, explaining and interpreting labor laws - whether they are scholars, practitioners, judges, policy-makers, or workers and employers.

The authors discuss four elements of change and outline five essential practices for leading dynamic, innovative educational systems that prepare students for a changing world.
