Neoclassical Architecture in Greece
"In addition to Athens, many cities and towns throughout Greece followed the same architectural trend, expressed in the form of either Neoclassicism or late historicism. The urban landscape that emerged in Greece through the early twentieth century includes buildings that are remarkable both architecturally and artistically. Today, they attract an intense and growing interest."--Jacket.
Intertestualità nell'opera di Violette Leduc
L’opera di Violette Leduc, una delle più perturbanti del XX secolo – una letteratura dell’abiezione, della marginalità, ma soprattutto della diversità –, è ancora relativamente poco conosciuta al grande pubblico, nonostante la recente riproposizione dei suoi romanzi principali e l’attualità della sua vicenda biografica, trasposta anche per il cinema da Martin Provost (Violette, 2013). Interstestualità nell’opera di Violette Leduc si concentra soprattutto sull’intreccio tra costruzione del testo e aspetto biografico, mettendo a fuoco il carattere intertestuale dell’opera di Leduc attraverso il confronto critico-letterario con le tre figure più importanti del...

Democracies and Republics Between Past and Future
Democracies and Republics Between Past and Future focuses on the concepts of direct rule by the people in early and classical Athens and the tribunician negative power in early republican Rome – and through this lens explores current political issues in our society. This volume guides readers through the current constitutional systems in the Western world in an attempt to decipher the reasons and extent of the decline of the nexus between ‘elections’ and ‘democracy’; it then turns its gaze to the past in search of some answers for the future, examining early and classical Athens and, finally, early republican Rome. In discussing Athens, it explores how an authentic ‘power of the people’ is more than voting and something rather different from representation, while the examples of Rome demonstrate – thanks to the paradigm of the so-called tribunician power – the importance of institutionalised mechanisms of dialogic conflict between competing powers. This book will be of primary interest to scholars of legal history, both recent and ancient, and to classicists, but also to the more general reader with an interest in politics and history.

The Expulsion of Mexico's Spaniards, 1821-1836
Winner of the Arthur P. Whitaker Prize as "the best book in Latin American Studies in 1990-1991Mexico's colonial experience had left a bitter legacy. Many believed that only the physical removal of the old colonial elite could allow the creation of a new political and economic order. While expulsion seemed to provide the answer, the expulsion decrees met stiff resistance and caused a tug-of-war between enforcement and evasion that went on for years. Friendship, family influence, intrigue, and bribery all played a role in determining who left and who stayed. After years of struggle, the movement died down, but not until three-quarters of Mexico's peninsulares had been forced to leave. Expulsion had the effect of crippling a once flourishing economy, with the flight of significant capital.
