Peninnah Schram
Jason Aronson Inc.

Peninnah Schram, widely regarded as one of the great Jewish storytellers of our generation, has collected and retold sixty-four delightful Jewish folktales to create Jewish Stories One Generation Tells Another. Ms. Schram, who believes that stories form 'the link between the generations, ' helps forge that link with this book, ensuring that these stories will continue to live and breathe in the modern world. The life force animating these tales is almost tangible. The printed words seem to vibrate, as if the author possessed the voices of various tellers and lent their lilting tones and ripe inflections to the printed page. Furthermore, the laughter, sobs, and delighted cries of countless listeners also echo in these pages. Schram, who has written a thoughtful, informative introduction for each story, demonstrates on every page her belief that the stories 'connect to our lives.' And when the lifelike characters woven into Schram's magic tapestry suffer or enjoy the fates they most deserve, we rejoice, secure in their storybook world?a world where justice, however incomprehensible, is always done, and where we attain happiness by living in accordance with Jewish law and in harmony with the world's natural order. Jewish Stories One Generation Tells Another abounds in a gentle wisdom that presses itself upon our complex and often self-contradictory lives, infusing us with patience, tolerance, and hope. We identify with the kings and princes, fools and beggars, heroes and leaders, villains and witches of yesteryear because, though our lives are vastly different from theirs, we share their moral choices and experience their dilemmas. Schram joins Jewish storytellers throughout the ages, linking past to present and preserving an invaluable legacy for generations yet unborn

Il volume propone una rappresentazione della Gallia tardoantica mediante la lettura a vari livelli della ricca documentazione canonistica prodotta, in massima parte, nel corso di due secoli cruciali, il V e il VI, durante i quali la regione partecipa e risente delle importanti e turbolente trasformazioni della pars Occidentis dell'Impero. Attraverso le disposizioni conciliari si prova a costruire non soltanto una storia regionale dei concili, ma anche quella, seppure esaminata da una particolare visuale, della società gallica quale essa viene raccontata da questa specifica forma di testimonianza. La trattazione sviluppa, in quattro sezioni, alcuni temi selezionati come aree problematiche esemplificative di processi ritenuti particolarmente indicativi per comporre un quadro efficace, per quanto parziale, dell'intreccio fra religione, storia e strutture sociali intravisto fra le trame giuridiche tessute nei canoni.

In pieno XI secolo, un tournant decisivo della storia europea, un giovane professore ravennate di retorica, imbevuto di cultura profana, irruppe in un piccolo eremo dell'Appennino marchigiano alla ricerca di Dio nella solitudine e nella preghiera. Da quel momento la storia di Pier Damiani e di Fonte Avellana mutò radicalmente. La presenza del grande scrittore moltiplicò a dismisura le possibilità per i contemporanei e per i posteri di conoscere le vicende dello sparuto gruppo di eremiti raccolti alle pendici del Catria. Il volume cerca di comprendere il senso di questa trasformazione attraverso l'esame degli scritti di Pier Damiani e delle fonti documentarie del suo tempo. Ne risulta un quadro tutt'altro che scontato, in cui i molti successi del carismatico ravennate, che seppe influire positivamente su aspetti decisivi della vita dell'eremo, si alternarono a conflitti più o meno latenti con la comunità avellanita.CONTRIBUTI DI:Nicolangelo D'Acunto Giancarlo Andenna Guido Cariboni Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri Stefania Zucchini Roberto Bernacchia Paola Galetti Elisabetta FilippiniGabriele Archetti Lorenzo Saraceno Umberto Longo Ugo Facchini Giacomo Baroffio Massimiliano Bassetti Pierluigi Licciardello Cosimo Damiano Fonseca

"Barry Grant has created a monumental resource for the study of a monumental filmmaker. The transcripts of these five films have been meticulously constructed without compromising the vitality and energy that characterizes the films themselves. This book should be invaluable to film scholars for as long as the films of Fred Wiseman are viewed, discussed and dissected—which we now know will be a long time indeed."—Ross McElwee, Director, Sherman's March and Bright Leaves

"Fred Wiseman is the perfect example of someone who has created a great canon of films. He is not just a great documentary filmmaker, he is a great filmmaker and artist. He has created some of the wildest, most personal, and oddly expressionistic filmmaking around. His origins are not in the movies but in the theater of the absurd. I imagine his smile of pleasure when the man in Welfare compares his situation to Godot. It's not life imitating art, but a strange admixture of both where the boundary lines between the two are no longer visible. Ultimately, Wiseman has showed us that the ultimate institution is life itself, and properly speaking, we should all be institutionalized."—Errol Morris

Pina Bausch
L'Arche

Renate quitte le pays flirte avec les spectateurs comme une opérette. On y danse et séduit et s'amuse mais, en même temps, révèle au grand jour – avec une véracité étonnante – les déceptions et frustrations que chaque amoureux connaît. Bonheur et désenchantement sont mis dans la balance. C'est gai et élégant, peut-être la pièce la plus amusante que Pina Bausch et son génial décorateur Rolf Borzig aient jamais créée. Du théâtre dansé où Hollywood se marie avec Wuppertal.

Founded in 1909 as a "garden suburb" of the Mediterranean port of Jaffa, Tel Aviv soon became a model of Jewish self-rule and was celebrated as a jewel in the crown of Hebrew revival. Over time the city has transformed into a lively metropolis, renowned for its architecture and culture, openness and vitality. A young city, Tel Aviv continues to represent a fundamental idea that transcends the physical texture of the city and the everyday experiences of its residents. Combining historical research and cultural analysis, Maoz Azaryahu explores the different myths that have been part of the vernacular and perception of the city. He relates Tel Aviv's mythology to its physicality through buildings, streets, personal experiences, and municipal policies. With critical insight, he evaluates specific myths and their propagation in the spheres of both official and popular culture. Azaryahu explores three distinct stages in the history of the mythic Tel Aviv: "The First Hebrew City" assesses Tel Aviv as Zionist vision and seed of the actual city; "Non-Stop City" depicts trendy, global post-Zionist Tel Aviv; and "The White City" describes Tel Aviv's architectural landscape, created in the 1930s and imbued with nostalgia and local prestige. Tel Aviv: Mythography of a City will appeal to urban geographers, cultural historians, scholars of myth, and students of Israeli society and culture.
