EUtROPEs
Author: John W. BoyerPublisher:
ISBN: 9782952596268
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Cahiers Parisiens/Parisian Notebooks publish selected papers drawn from the various advanced-level activities at the University of Chicago Center in Paris. In Volume Seven, scholars from across the continent consider Europe as a discourse made of the sediments of historical experience and utopian ideas. Attached to a geographical region with constantly shifting boundaries, the group considers EUtROPEs as the cultural codes that endow Europe with the many meanings that it has held for different actors at different times. Twenty historians, linguists, cultural scientists, musicologists, and scholars of philosophy, urban studies, and film studies who came together at the University of Chicago's Center in Paris discuss these tropes in different fields and consider whether the present can continue to bear the weight of the many ideas and legacies of Europe.
Fat History
Author: Peter N. StearnsPublisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814739822
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
The modern struggle against fat cuts deeply and pervasively into American culture. Dieting, weight consciousness, and widespread hostility toward obesity form one of the fundamental themes of modern life. Fat History explores the meaning of fat in contemporary Western society and illustrates how progressive changes, such as growth in consumer culture, increasing equality for women, and the refocusing of women's sexual and maternal roles have influenced today's obsession with fat. Brought up-to-date with a new preface and filled with narrative anecdotes, Fat History explores fat's transformation from a symbol of health and well-being to a sign of moral, psychological, and physical disorder.

Clashes in European Memory
Author: Muriel BlaivePublisher: Studien Verlag
ISBN: 9783706548120
Category : Communism
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In this volume the conflicted memories of Communist repression and the Holocaust in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Germany, the former Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria are discussed between the poles of politics of history and communicative memories. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the memory clashes in the different national arenas. The comparative approach allows also for the identification of transnational memory patterns. Finally, the country specific case studies are completed by a theoretical section, in which historians and cultural scientists reflect on contradictory aspects concerning memory, historiography, and learning in contemporary Europe.
