Esta pesquisa dedicou-se ao estudo dos campos de concentração brasileiros na Era Vargas e do sistema legal que o amparou, para compreender de que maneira tais institutos se organizaram e encontraram ...legitimação no país. Inicialmente, buscou-se compreender o contexto histórico e os primeiros campos brasileiros, organizados para conter a migração em uma época de seca, para serem incrementados a partir da mudança de postura do governo Vargas diante dos imigrantes, que deveriam, então, ser nacionalizados. Na sequência, viu-se que o confi namento de italianos, alemães e japoneses, ou seus descendentes, nos campos de concentração, atendia não apenas às pretensões varguistas para o Estado nacional, mas também agradava aos parceiros internacionais na guerra, em especial os Estados Unidos. Por fim, esta pesquisa demonstrou como a ditadura iniciada em 1937 com o Estado Novo, em especial com a Constituição outorgada de 1937, deu subsídios jurídicos para a centralização de poder nas mãos do presidente, que governaria por meio de decretos até sua deposição. Uma vez que o país entrou em guerra ao lado dos Aliados, ocorreu a decretação do estado de guerra que derrubou direitos constitucionais antes garantidos aos estrangeiros e permitiu que estes fossem perseguidos e internados em campos de concentração.
The recent novels in Indian English mostly deal with the past history of the masses of the marginalized in the South-Asian continent due to the impact of "colonialist elitism" (Ludden 2002) and its ...upshot-colonialism. Generally, the word, "colonialist elitism" (Ibid), denotes the Western modernity which badly influenced the masses of the marginalized groups in a society during the rule of imperialism. In her novels, Anita Desai, one of the most eminent female writers of Indian English, often portray the harsh realities of the day today life of the masses of the marginalized including the lower-class workers, the lower-caste fishermen and the lower-caste women when they resist against imperialist elitism and its results. She often makes "use of symbolism" (N. R. Gopal 99) to portray the characters of her novels and uses pictorial words for describing the settings of the scenes in her novels. Also, she uses "flashback technique" (Ibid) in her novels significantly. The select novels of Desai adding in Where Shall We Go This Summer? and Fire on the Mountain give an account of details about the inner thirst of the masses of the less-privileged men to get released from the tradition bound society by resisting against dominant ideologies prevailing in the colonial rule and its effects. Also, the novels describe how far the social evils prevalent in India such as class/caste discrimination, race, gender, religion, nation, colour, and age-oriented discrimination and other ethnic differences affect the everyday survival of the masses of innocent men in India.
Où se cachent les nouvelles sources de la peur? Quand la réalité montre-elle son envers angoissant? Le nouveau fantastique de Jean-Pierre Andrevon nous invite à parcourir avec le « King » ou « ...Lovecraft » français les chemins sinueux de l'étrange moderne. New sources of fear - where do they hide? When does reality reveal its distressing underside? Le nouveau fantastique de Jean-Pierre Andrevon invites us to walk the winding paths of the modern uncanny along with "the French King" or "the French Lovecraft".
Border of Lights, a volunteer collective, returns each October to Dominican-Haitian border towns to bear witness to the 1937 Haitian Massacre ordered by Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. ...This crime against humanity has never been acknowledged by the Dominican government and no memorial exists for its victims. A multimodal, multi-vocal space for activists, artists, scholars, and others connected to the BOL movement, The Border of Lights Reader provides an alternative to the dominant narrative that positions Dominicans and Haitians as eternal adversaries and ignores cross-border and collaborative histories. This innovative anthology asks large-scale, universal questions regarding historical memory and revisionism that countries around the world grapple with today.
Leading scholar Albert Russell Ascoli traces the metamorphosis of Dante Alighieri – minor Florentine aristocrat, political activist and exile, amateur philosopher and theologian, and daring ...experimental poet – into Dante, author of the Divine Comedy and perhaps the most self-consciously 'authoritative' cultural figure in the Western canon. The text offers a comprehensive introduction to Dante's evolving, transformative relationship to medieval ideas of authorship and authority from the early Vita Nuova through the unfinished treatises, The Banquet and On Vernacular Eloquence, to the works of his maturity, Monarchy and the Divine Comedy. Ascoli reveals how Dante anticipates modern notions of personalized, creative authorship and the phenomenon of 'Renaissance self-fashioning'. Unusually, the book examines Dante's career as a whole offering an important point of access not only to the Dantean oeuvre, but also to the history and theory of authorship in the larger Italian and European tradition.
Abstract Objective The aim of the article is to verify the concept of whistleblowing, taking into account the literature on the subject and the EU Directive 2019/1937 and its understanding by Polish ...and Ukrainian respondents, i.e. those who belong to the EU and those who aspire to it and have grown up in different cultures. Methodology The research analysed literature in English and used qualitative methods in the form of an in-depth individual interview with Polish and Ukrainian managers. Findings The research revealed that the understanding of whistleblowing in EU Directive 2019/1937 reflects years of discussion and goes beyond the original understanding of the term. Respondents understand the advantages and drawbacks of internal and external whistleblowing, the anonymity of the whistleblower and their position in the organisation. Originality/Value The article clarifies the concept of a whistleblower and explains the problems with its interpretation and implementation, allowing for further discussion on its topic in a reliable way. The understanding of whistleblowing contained in the EU Directive and the respondents’ concerns are relevant to the implementation of the Directive, especially in areas that concern the whistleblower’s reliability and anonymity. Recommendations Further research should be conducted among EU members and candidates for EU structures. Quantitative research will determine the acceptance of the issue and indicate the difficulties of implementation. Further research should focus on the reliability of non-employed whistleblowers and their anonymity.

In the first systematic study of the philosophy of Thomas Nagel, Alan Thomas discusses Nagel's contrast between the "subjective" and the "objective" points of view throughout the various areas of his ...wide ranging philosophy. Nagel's original and distinctive contrast between the subjective view and our aspiration to a "view from nowhere" within metaphysics structures the chapters of the book. A "new Humean" in epistemology, Nagel takes philosophical scepticism to be both irrefutable and yet to indicate a profound truth about our capacity for self-transcendence. The contrast between subjective and objective views is then considered in the case of the mind, where consciousness proves to be the central aspect of mind that contemporary theorising fails to acknowledge adequately. The second half of the book analyses Nagel's work on moral and political philosophy where he has been most deeply influential. Topics covered include the contrast between agent-relative and agent-neutral reasons and values, Nagel's distinctive version of a hybrid ethical theory, his discussion of life's meaningfulness and finally his sceptical arguments about whether a liberal society can reconcile the conflicting moral demands of self and other.
We used seismic, gravity and aeromagnetic information to better define the basement structure of the southern Fairbanks and Salcha seismic zones and the Northern Foothills Fold and Thrust Belt ...(NFFTB), regions that accommodate deformation in interior Alaska north of the Denali fault. At least five earthquakes of M ≥ 6 occurred within this region between 1929 and 1947. Relocated epicenters of two foreshocks and the October 16, 1947 (Mw 7.2) mainshock suggest they occurred in a topographically low area covered with recent alluvial deposits located ∼20 km north of the northernmost mapped thrusts of the NFFTB, although the largest aftershock of the sequence occurred within the exposed NFFTB. The three largest events of the 1947 sequence had similar waveforms, indicating similar mechanisms. Relocations of the 1929 events, also with waveforms similar to the 1947 sequence, indicate they likely occurred along thrust faults associated with the exposed NFFTB. In contrast, the 1937 sequence (mainshock of Mw 7.3) involved strike-slip rupture along the Salcha seismic zone. We constructed and modeled three gravity/aeromagnetic profiles extending across the NFFTB to the northwestern edge of the Tanana Basin that support the presence of subsurface thrusting north to 64.4°N, coincident with the absence of the Totatlanika schist at this latitude. A third profile extending across the Salcha seismic zone suggests reactivation of high angle faults within the Yukon-Tanana crystalline complex. The extension of thrust faulting ∼20–30 km north of the exposed NFFTB has important implications for the seismic hazards of the Fairbanks region.
•Extension of thrust faulting 20–30 km north of exposed Northern Foothills Fold and Thrust Belt.•Magnitude ≥6 earthquakes in 1929, 1946 and 1947 associated with the Northern Foothills Fold and Thrust Belt.•Salcha earthquake (1937) occurred on reactivated, high angle fault in Yukon-Tanana crystalline complex.
