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.

Literary critics such as C. T. Hsia called Pai Hsienyung a “rare talent" who according to another critic, “has absorbed the diverse techniques of contemporary Western literature to temper and ...modernize his writing; however, the characters he writes about remain Chinese people and the stories he tells remain Chinese tales." Widely acclaimed as a classic of contemporary fiction, Taipei People has been frequently compared to James Joyce’s Dubliners. Henry Miller considers Pai Hsienyung “a master of portraiture." The collection of fourteen stories from this reprint edition has already been translated to great acclaim into French, German, Italian, Dutch, Hebrew, Japanese, and Korean.
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.
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.
Picon-Vallin begins with a description of the company's origin story that hearkens back to ATEP (the Association for Parisian Theatre Students), Ariane Mnouchkine's first theatre group in 1959. ...Picon-Vallin's book thoroughly details the process and working methods for each of the company's productions and the truly collaborative exploration that led to each one's astonishing creativity. Picon-Vallin outlines the intense partnership and methodical research investigation that Cixous and Mnouchkine undertook in the discovery process for The Terrible but Unfinished Story of Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia, a play about the Cambodian genocide and the global shift in the company's makeup. Throughout the book Mnouckine's own words instruct and inspire theatre artists in terms of what the art form can (and for her) should be.
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.
