By José Saramago. 2010
Flash recupera este ensayo para celebrar el centenario de José Saramago, un texto sobre el oficio de escribir narrado por…
el Nobel de Literatura. «Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía». Comité Nobel «Con alguna sorpresa por parte de quien me escucha, desde hace cierto tiempo vengo diciendo que cada vez me interesa menos hablar de literatura». A partir de esta frase arranca La estatua y la piedra, una retrospectiva de José Saramago hacia su trayectoria como escritor. En este texto, que revisa el propósito y el impacto de sus obras, el Nobel de Literatura traslada al lector las cuestiones que le han acompañado a lo largo de su carrera. Catalogado en ocasiones como «novelista histórico», Saramago reflexiona sobre esta etiqueta a través de los títulos que marcaron su vida, entre los que se encuentran los imprescindibles Manual de pintura y caligrafía, Memorial del convento, El evangelio según Jesucristo o Ensayo sobre la ceguera. Este recuento biográfico sirve de trampolín hacia otras preguntas sobre el oficio de escribir: ¿cuánto tiempo debe transcurrir para que un hecho se considere histórico? ¿Escriben los autores pensando en la posteridad? ¿Cómo son retratadas las mujeres en sus obras? El autor, incapaz de huir de su pasión por la literatura, pero consciente de la condición inefable de cualquier arte, hilvana las respuestas a estas cuestiones con la trama y el contexto de sus obras. En su habitual discurso comprometido y mordaz, este ensayo le recordará al lector por qué es uno de los mejores escritores del siglo XX. Sobre el autor: «Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía». Comité Nobel «Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales». Héctor Abad Faciolince «Saramago es un ejemplo, un estilo dignísimo de vida y literatura, que demuestra la posibilidad de navegar a contracorriente [...]. Su palabra tiene el valor de un anticongelante, de un remedio personal contra los vendavales de cinismo que nos envuelven». Luis García Montero «Yo no sé, ni quiero saberlo, de dónde ha sacado Saramago ese diabólico tono narrativo, duro y piadoso a un tiempo, [...] que le permite contar tan cerca del corazón y a la vez tan cerca de la historia». Luis Landero «Saramago escribe novelas sobre los mitos para desmitificarlos, [...] siempre para abordar la realidad que le rodea, para tratar de los problemas actuales que son de todos, y para que todo quede claro desde el principio». Rafael Conte, Babelia «Como Günter Grass o Cees Nooteboom, Saramago aspira a enlazar con un público que desborde límites nacionales».

By Alaa El-Din A. Bekhit. 2021
In the last decade, there has been substantial research dedicated towards prospecting physiochemical, nutritional and health properties of novel protein…
sources. In addition to being driven by predictions of increased population and lack of a parallel increase in traditional protein sources, main drivers for the rise in novel proteins/ novel foods research activities is linked to significant changes in young consumers’ attitudes toward red meat consumption and their interest in new alternative protein products.

Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit setzt sich exemplarisch mit der Menschenrechtsberichterstattung…
der politischen Fraktionen im Deutschen Bundestag über muslimisch geprägte Länder auseinander.

Some years—1789, 1929, 1989—change the world suddenly. Or do they? In 2020, a pandemic converged with an economic collapse, inequalities…
exploded, and institutions weakened. Yet these crises sprang not from new risks but from known dangers. The world—like many patients—met 2020 with a host of preexisting conditions, which together tilted the odds toward disaster. Perhaps 2020 wasn’t the year the world changed; perhaps it was simply the moment the world finally understood its deadly diagnosis.In The Long Year, some of the world’s most incisive thinkers excavate 2020’s buried crises, revealing how they must be confronted in order to achieve a more equal future. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor calls for the defunding of police and the refunding of communities; Keisha Blain demonstrates why the battle against racism must be global; and Adam Tooze reveals that COVID-19 hit hardest where inequality was already greatest and welfare states weakest. Yarimar Bonilla, Xiaowei Wang, Simon Balto, Marcia Chatelain, Gautam Bhan, Ananya Roy, and others offer insights from the factory farms of China to the elite resorts of France, the meatpacking plants of the Midwest to the overcrowded hospitals of India.The definitive guide to these ongoing catastrophes, The Long Year shows that only by exposing the roots and ramifications of 2020 can another such breakdown be prevented. It is made possible through institutional partnerships with Public Books and the Social Science Research Council.Nutrition Across Life Stages

immigrant community in Brazil during World War II and in the aftermath of Japan’s defeat and unconditional surrender. In contrast to the internment camps and compulsory military service that characterized the Japanese American wartime experience, this book traces the rise to power of Shindō Renmei, an ultranationalist secret society that formed in response to the anti-Japanese measures enacted under Getulio Vargas’ Estado Novo. Based in São Paulo, the group used terrorism, propaganda campaigns, and conspiracy theories to violently enforce its narrative of Japan’s victory. These traumatic events nevertheless brought about a permanent transformation in the Japanese Brazilian community from a largely insular colony with close ties to its imperial homeland to its new identity as an ethnic minority in postwar Brazil’s fraught racial democracy.No road: bitumen all the way

Irony and humour invert the usual expectations of a travel book; nobody seems to be going anywhere.Funded!: Successful Grant Writing for Your Nonprofit

(Routledge Focus on Journalism Studies)
By Aljosha Karim Schapals. 2022
This book addresses the transformative role that so-called peripheral actors in journalism – emerging outlets diverging from the norms fiercely…
held by mainstream media outlets – play in today’s news ecosystem. The author charts the rise to prominence of these actors, outlining how they have successfully managed to challenge the authority held by mainstream, legacy outlets, whose claims to be the “storytellers of our time” no longer exclusively pertain to them. Beginning by identifying these peripheral actors specifically, the book then considers whether what they do is “journalism” as traditionally conceived, what their motivations are, and why their role is important in light of journalism’s democratic function in holding power to account. Ultimately, it is argued that, despite the perceived role of peripheral actors as “deviant”, they still demonstrate a surprising degree of ideological continuity in the face of industrial disruption. Drawing on research from Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Peripheral Actors in Journalism is an insightful resource for journalism and media scholars with an interest in alternative media sources.Carnival on the Page: Popular Print Media in Antebellum America
By Isabelle Lehuu. 1992
In the decades before the Civil War, American society witnessed the emergence of a new form of print culture, as…
penny papers, mammoth weeklies, giftbooks, fashion magazines, and other ephemeral printed materials brought exuberance and theatricality to public culture and made the practice of reading more controversial. For a short yet pivotal period, argues Isabelle Lehuu, the world of print was turned upside down. Unlike the printed works of the eighteenth century, produced to educate and refine, the new media aimed to entertain a widening yet diversified public of men and women. As they gained popularity among American readers, these new print forms provoked fierce reactions from cultural arbiters who considered them transgressive. No longer the manly art of intellectual pursuit, reading took on new meaning; reading for pleasure became an act with the power to silently disrupt the social order.Neither just an epilogue to an earlier age of scarce books and genteel culture nor merely a prologue to the late nineteenth century and its mass culture and commercial literature, the antebellum era marked a significant passage in the history of books and reading in the United States, Lehuu argues.Originally published 2000.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

By John Hollowell. 1971
Journalists and novelists responded to the pervasive social changes of the 1960s in America with a variety of experiments in…
nonfiction. Those who have praised the vitality of the new journalism have seen it as a fusion of the journalist's passion for detail and the novelist's moral vision. Hollowell presents a critically sharp portrait of what the new journalists and novelists are doing and why.
