Northern Ireland is on fire. But rather than attending to the conflict raging around her, the young Sinéad Morrissey is obsessed with the Cold War, East Germany and the utopia of the USSR.Set against the distinctive cultural milieu of Belfast Communism its smoky meeting rooms, protests, marches, sports days, holidays, discos and Party bazaars Among Communists tells a history of the Troubles unlike any other whilst simultaneously charting a young writers journey into poetry.When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, surprising everyone Western Communists most of all Morrisseys family followed suit and fell apart. This memoir charts those personal and political earthquakes, weaving together a lyrical exploration of familial love, belief, contrariness and loss, and of the galvanising power of sudden endings to make and re-make the past.

La fantascienza che caratterizza lopera cyberpunk di William Gibson e in realta il telescopio attraverso cui leggere chi comanda e chi subisce nel futuro prossimo, diventato ormai presente storico. Un ordinamento contemporaneamente secolare e tribale, che non governa piu la fine del mondo, ma la sua piu piena effettivita come sistema irrimediabilmente precario. Tra emergenza, dominio e transizione.

Il capitale si e fatto linguaggio (da qui nasce il termine semiocapitale) con cui ci scambiamo comunicazioni funzionali al ciclo di produzione e consumo; non e un caso se siamo sommersi non solo dalle merci ma anche dalle informazioni. Lo spazio digitale dove i contenuti saturano la nostra attenzione, comprimendo la nostra facolta di elaborazione critica ben si presta a veicolare il linguaggio del capitale. La combinazione di semiocapitale e spazio digitale ha permesso al capitalismo di colonizzare il nostro immaginario e ha prodotto una frattura tra estetica ed etica tale per cui noi possiamo percepire lAltro ma non anche agire insieme allAltro; in definitiva, ha reso sempre piu urgente il bisogno di rifondare una dimensione comunitaria nelle nostre esistenze.

Bill Manhire has always subscribed to Paul Valérys definition of poetry as a prolonged hesitation between sound and sense. In that spirit, many of the poems in this new, dazzling collection blend story and song, and do so using everyday words and phrases that suddenly, on the page become new and delightfully weird.Lyrical Ballads is a many-peopled collection: the baffled inhabitants of Every Street and Intermediate Street are here, while Dracula, T.S. Eliot and Bobby Outram from Outram have walk-on parts. The collection is anchored by two long sequences that embrace awkwardness, mystery and absurdity: The Tobacco Tin, a kind of folk story riding along on its own lacunae, and Tell You What, a set of curmudgeonly opinions that evoke the prejudices of a fast-vanishing world.As they notice the small collisions between wonder and everyday reality, and the trajectories of those who dont fit easily in this world, these poems close in on the darker certainties of our lives.

A Poetry Book Society RecommendationPraising Joe Carrick Vartys debut, the T.S. Eliot Prize judges observed that his work confronts fraught spaces of addiction and domestic violence [its] lyricism shaped by a raw and fragmented reality.His outstanding second collection reflects further on growing up under the cloud of abuse and alcoholism, unfolding compelling patterns as it examines how the past shapes our future lives. Bold and unusual in form, its three gripping long poems look unflinchingly and unforgettably at inheritance, pain and memory.

This new translation of the best stories by Ichiyo Higuchi showcases the pioneering authors profound sensitivity and lyrical eye. The crystalline beauty of falling snow is a painful reminder of lost innocence; three children growing up on the fringes of Tokyos red-light district enjoy a last summer of freedom before adulthood and its compromises overtake them; a discontented serving maid and a prodigal son find their transgressions can be mutually beneficial; and a mans passion for an indifferent teahouse courtesan becomes so consuming that he is willing to sacrifice everything to it - his job, his family, perhaps even his life. Rarely translated into English, but revered in Japan for the purity of her classical language and her status as the countrys first professional woman writer, Ichiyo Higuchi drew on her own short life in a poor Tokyo neighbourhood to inspire her work. With immense delicacy of phrase and feeling, and vivid evocations of the colourful festivals and salty street banter that mask unspoken yearning and disappointed hopes, she transmits both the beauty and the struggle of working-class womens lives in turn-of-the-century Japan. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory may be the only solace.

Hes searching the city. Shes dangling in plain sight.In the Old City of Québec, Kay Harper falls in love with a puppet in the window of the Quatre Mains, a toy shop that is never open. She is spending her summer working as an acrobat with the cirque while her husband, Theo, is translating a biography of the pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Late one night, Kay fears someone is following her home. Surprised to see that the lights of the toy shop are on and the door is open, she takes shelter inside.The next morning Theo wakes up to discover his wife is missing. Under police suspicion and frantic at her disappearance, he obsessively searches the streets of the Old City. Meanwhile, Kay has been transformed into a puppet, and is now a prisoner of the back room of the Quatre Mains, trapped with an odd assemblage of puppets from all over the world who can only come alive between the hours of midnight and dawn. The only way she can return to the human world is if Theo can find her and recognize her in her new form. So begins a dual odyssey: of a husband determined to find his wife, and of a woman trapped in a magical world where her life is not her own.

O desejo de organizarmos este livro surgiu de algumas questes: registramos a riqueza dos temas apresentados nos diversos eventos de Psicologia do Intensivismo realizados pela Sociedade Paulista de Terapia Intensiva (SOPATI) A repercusso positiva, a relevancia e a busca dos espectadores pelos palestrantes para maiores esclarecimentos sobre os temas abordados, evidenciou um valioso arsenal de conhecimentos e experiencias relativas ao trabalho do psicologo nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs). Consideramos, que esses conhecimentos deveriam ser publicados para que as pessoas pudessem ter acesso aos conteudos marcantes que se revelaram nos congressos sob nossa coordenaço. Ao apresentar os trabalhos que compem este livro, acreditamos trazer para a apreciaço dos leitores uma seleço significativa das praticas e das reflexes desenvolvidas nesta modalidade terapeutica. O Psicointensivismo ja e considerado uma especialidade entre tantas existentes na Psicologia Hospitalar, por isso a importancia do livro, que congrega temas de notaveis relevancias clinicas, escritos por profissionais de elevado conhecimento sobre o tema. Temos como objetivo demonstrar que, alem de uma rotina protocolar, ha muita subjetividade em todos os sentidos dentro de uma UTI. Paciente, Equipe, Familia, e o entorno hospitalar. Esse enfoque nos remeteu a uma reflexo, a posteriori, sobre o conceito filosofico-existencial de esferas, "bolhas" de Peter Sloterdijk. Neste enfoque a UTI pode ser tomada como um destes espaços de proteço e (sobre) vivencia em um ambiente controlado, embora temporario e vulneravel. Muitas vezes os limiares entre a vida e a morte so to infimos que resta aos profissionais o compartilhar de um sofrimento que acaba sendo coletivo, e ai percebemos que ha humanizaço e continencia, ou seja, a evidencia do conceito de "bolha". Queriamos um livro que falasse das emoçes existentes nesse ambiente como um todo, para alem dos protocolos e questes formais, to necessarias. E fato que a ciencia e a subjetividade podem andar juntas e quem se beneficia no fim do caminho e o paciente.

"SCIENCE+TECHNOLOGY+ARTS: Lessons Learned from a Decade of European Transdisciplinary Innovation" documents and reflects on the legacy of the S+T+ARTS Initiative, a pioneering European program that has, since 2016, redefined the interplay of art, science, and technology as a driver of innovation, cultural transformation, and societal change. By uniting contributions from diverse STARTS stakeholders, the book highlights both the achievements and the lessons of a decade of practice, offering valuable knowledge for policymakers, cultural leaders, educators, innovators, and practitioners seeking to replicate or adapt STARTS models in Europe and beyond. Along with it, the publication brings together a wide variety of exemplary artistic projects and best cases that reveal the richness of the STARTS approach. By looking into these experiences, the book highlights how art-science-technology collaborations create impact across sectors, expand ways of thinking, and demonstrate the lasting value of integrating creativity into Europes innovation ecosystem.
