Manzini, Gianna. Lettere a Giuseppe Dessí e a Luisa. Edited by Alberto Baldi. Florence: Firenze University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.36253/978-88-6453-923-2.

Full text

Abstract:

L’amicizia tra Gianna Manzini e Giuseppe Dessí, ricostruita in questo libro grazie alle ricerche di Alberto Baldi, era nata alla metà degli anni 40, nell’ambito delle collaborazioni alla rivista «Prosa», e sarebbe durata fino al ’74, anno della morte della scrittrice. Agli incontri romani, un tempo frequenti tra i due, si sarebbe sostituito a causa di lontananze forzate un fitto dialogo epistolare, destinato a coinvolgere i rispettivi compagni. Nelle sue lettere, in toni sempre più confidenziali, la Manzini parla a Dessí della malattia e della morte, allude talvolta a complessi rapporti familiari, lamenta la difficoltà di conciliare il lavoro letterario con la vita privata, confidando sempre nella comprensione, vicinanza e discrezione dell’amico, da cui spera aiuto anche per riuscire a capire il non sempre facile carattere di Enrico Falqui. In appendice al carteggio, adeguatamente annotato, viene riproposto un singolare inedito dal titolo I sogni di Dessí che la Manzini aveva realizzato per una trasmissione radiofonica degli anni 60 (l’Almanacco dei sogni). A chiudere il volume una preziosa antologia della critica dispersa, che raccoglie recensioni e saggi apparsi su quotidiani e riviste dedicati ai lavori della scrittrice.

Abstract:

The decade after the Restoration saw the publication of several important works and collections of verse. Samuel Butler’s mock-heroic Hudibras satirized the civil war conflict, and although Abraham Cowley’s reputation was at its height, he lamented in his Pindaric odes the lack of reward and recognition for his hardships in the service of the royal family in exile. Katherine Philips’s poems were printed without her consent, and she was preparing an authorized edition when she died from smallpox. John Milton published his epic poem Paradise Lost in 1667, divided in 1674 to form twelve books, followed by Paradise Regain’d and Samson Agonistes in 1671.

Abstract:

This chapter argues that late-century black poets carved out a new postbellum form of African American poetic realism. These poets, too, have fallen prey to the twilight narrative. While critics often fault their work as “conventional,” this chapter contests the scholarly argument that the “conventionality” of black genteel verse is a problem to be lamented, showing it instead to have been an arena for innovation. Priscilla Jane Thompson, George Marion McClellan, William H. A. [W. H. A.] Moore, and Henrietta Cordelia Ray all carved out unique forms of African American poetic expression in which “gentility” became a performance space that opened up a realist counterpoetics of their own. As they performed the genteel, these poets engaged and claimed its tropes, undermining and countering its fantasies and rewriting them as black-voiced reality checks on the genteel poetic mode.

Abstract:

Fuller faced an uncertain future on his return to London in the wake of the royalist collapse. Friends assisted him, and he found convenient lodging at Sion College. In 1648 he was appointed minister of Waltham Abbey by James Hay, earl of Carlisle, the church’s patron. Fuller published a major work on the history and geography of the Holy Land, a collection of biographies of Protestant divines, and an edition of the debates in Parliament in 1628-9. He lamented the trial and execution of King Charles in a published sermon. He also defended in print practices of the Church that had been abolished or were being undermined by the ecclesiastical changes of the late 1640s and 1650s, especially under Oliver Cromwell. In this environment he published his major work, The Church-History of Britain (1655), in part to stimulate the nation’s memory of its religious heritage.

Abstract:

At the turn of the twentieth century, a “New South” of industry, cities, and commerce promised to modernize the American South. Amid much regional change, southern evangelicals commonly comprehended and universally lamented a spiritual crisis. Despite growing churches, rising salaries, enhanced public prestige, and expanding congregations, southern white Protestant ministers perceived only a landscape of empty churches, disrespected preachers, indolent congregants, and a hostile public. Within their insular denominational worlds, southern religious leaders such as Baylor president William Carey Crane outlined the contours of their anxieties. But if a deep-seated sense of widespread crisis confronted religious Texans, a new generation of emerging leaders such as J. B. Cranfill promised a way out: they could fight in the public sphere. Senator Morris Sheppard and others increasingly imagined that the politics of prohibition could free religious southerners from their perceived crisis and reclaim an imagined golden age for American religion.

Abstract:

A common and enduring early modern intuition is that materialists reduce organisms in general and human beings in particular to automata. Wasn’t a famous book of the time (1748) entitled L’Homme-Machine? In fact, the machine is employed as an analogy, and there was a specifically materialist form of embodiment, in which the body is not reduced to an inanimate machine, but is conceived as an affective, flesh-and-blood entity. This paper discusses how mechanist and vitalist models of organism exist in a more complementary relation than hitherto imagined, with conceptions of embodiment resulting from experimental physiology. From La Mettrie to Bernard, mechanism, body and embodiment are constantly overlapping, modifying and overdetermining one another; embodiment came to be scientifically addressed under the successive figures of vie organique and then milieu intérieur, thereby overcoming the often lamented divide between scientific image and living experience.

Abstract:

In the sixth canto of the Purgatorio, Dante Alighieri lamented the pitiable condition of Italy. Though once the donna di provincie, it was now the ‘dwelling place of sorrow’. Bereft of peace, its cities were wracked by constant strife. Attributing this to the absence of imperial governance, he called on Albert of Habsburg to right Italy’s woes with all haste. As this chapter shows, the earliest humanists embraced the imperial cause for much the same reasons. Although aware of the condition of the regnum Italicum, they were concerned primarily with the affairs of individual cities, and used their classical learning to rationalize the character of urban life. Worn down by civil strife, they too called upon kings and emperors to restore their peace and liberty. But while some associated the Empire with signorial government, the most striking and persistent appeals to imperial authority came from humanists living under communal regimes.

Abstract:

A few years after the humanist dream of a revivified Empire had put down roots in Padua, a parallel strain of imperialist thought was germinating in Verona. There in the shadow of the cathedral library, a small group of like-minded figures were attempting to revive classical culture more through the study of history and philology than through stylistic imitation. Like their Paduan contemporaries, they were deeply troubled by the condition of their times, and lamented the emergence of factionalism and tyranny. They, too, longed for peace and liberty, and saw the Empire as their best hope. But as this chapter shows, they were more concerned with the fate of humanity as a whole than with that of a single city; and rather than relying on the letter of feudal law, they instead founded their imperialism on a deep appreciation for the Roman past and the Church Fathers.

Abstract:

The devastation inflicted by Allied bombing, and the experiences of wartime bereavement and enemy occupation, delivered powerful emotional as well as physical blows to the Catholic communities of the Rhineland and Westphalia in the years 1944–5. Conferring meaning to these traumatic events in the aftermath of German defeat, together with the preceding years of war and National Socialist dictatorship, presented a significant theological and political challenge to clergymen. Writing in a pastoral letter of 18 April 1945, shortly after Münster’s fall to Allied forces, Bishop Galen lamented that ‘I am not even going to attempt to count and write down all of the various forms of suffering, which press upon each and every one of us.’ In seeking to provide meaning to the war and its victims, Galen could only state that: ‘God allowed it to happen’ as a ‘consequence and punishment for sin’....

Full text

Abstract:

This epilogue reflects on the legacy of Harold Gibbons and Ernest Calloway. It begins with a discussion of some valuable insights that the two men's experience provides. As far back as the 1960s, Gibbons and Calloway lamented the stagnation of union organizing amid structural changes in the economy that were diluting labor's strength. They thought creatively about how the Teamsters could exercise decisive economic leverage, and their concept of treating workers as total persons might find new political resonance in tackling the work–family divide that has arisen as dual earner families have become a social norm. The epilogue also considers several sobering aspects of Gibbons and Calloway's careers, including the short-lived successes of total person unionism as well as its limited reach, both within St. Louis and elsewhere. Finally, it suggests that Gibbons and Calloway's most powerful legacy was their insistence on the essential interrelationships between work, citizenship, and democracy.

Abstract:

Throughout U.S. history, presidents have participated in photography as subjects, producers, and consumers of photographs. Yet few scholars have examined the 180-year relationship between presidents and photography in any depth. Photographic Presidents studies how presidents shaped and participated in transformative moments in the history of the medium: George Washington, who more than 50 years after his death emerged as a crucial subject for early photography in a nation eager to consume portraits of elite leaders; John Quincy Adams, who in the early 1840s lamented in his diary his failure to get a good daguerreotype; William McKinley, whose 1901 assassination set off a morbid race to find and publish the dead president’s “last photographs”; Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt, each vexed by encounters with “candid cameramen” with the capacity to catch their subjects unaware; and Barack Obama, whose use of social media photography embodied the tensions inherent in early twenty-first-century digital photography. From its introduction in 1839 to the present day, photography has introduced new visual values that have often clashed with existing social and cultural norms. As representations of elite leaders who symbolized the nation, presidential photographs became sites of tension in which the implications of these new visual values played out in public.

Abstract:

The contributors to this volume are motivated by a common apprehension and a common hope. The apprehension was first voiced by Einstein, who lamented the inability of humanity, at the individual and social level, to keep up with the increased speed of technological change brought about by the quantum revolution. Before it was the atomic bomb. Today it is the advent of advanced quantum systems, which is already the object of intense geopolitical and commercial competition. Meanwhile, as quantum science and technology fast forward into the twenty-first century, the social sciences remain stuck in classical, nineteenth-century ways of thinking. Can such a mechanistic model of the mind and society possibly help us manage the fully realized technological potential of the quantum? That’s where the hope appears, that perhaps quantum is not just a physical science, but a human science too. This is the potential implication of dramatic recent discoveries in cognitive science and quantum biology, which suggest that subjectivity itself may be a quantum phenomenon. If so, then there will be a need for a new “quantized” human science, including international relations. At the centenary of the first quantum Gedankenexperiment in the 1920s, the book offers a diversity of explorations, speculations, and approaches for understanding geopolitics in the twenty-first century.

Full text

Abstract:

This book explains how the Chinese Nationalist regime consolidated control by honoring its millions of war-dead, allowing China to emerge rapidly from the wreckage of the first half of the twentieth century to become a powerful state, supported by strong nationalistic sentiment and institutional infrastructure. The fall of the empire, internecine conflicts, foreign invasion, and war-related disasters claimed twenty to thirty million Chinese lives. The book draws on government records, newspapers, and petition letters from mourning families to analyze how the Nationalist regime's commemoration of the dead and compensation of the bereaved actually fortified its central authority. By enshrining the victims of violence as national ancestors, the Republic of China connected citizenship to the idea of the nation, promoting loyalty to the “imagined community.” The regime constructed China's first public military cemetery and hundreds of martyrs' shrines, collectively mourned millions of fallen soldiers and civilians, and disbursed millions of yuan to tens of thousands of widows and orphans. The regime thus exerted control over the living by creating the state apparatus necessary to manage the dead. Although the Communist forces prevailed in 1949, the Nationalists had already laid the foundation for the modern nation-state through their governance of dead citizens. The Nationalist policies of glorifying and compensating the loyal dead in an age of catastrophic destruction left an important legacy: violence came to be celebrated rather than lamented.

Abstract:

Every working mother’s path is unique and should be celebrated, not lamented. Yet all too frequently, working mothers are presented with advice, rules to follow, or guidelines as if all our experiences are the same. The goal of this book is to provide readers with stories and research that support the notion of owning and feeling confident in the choices they make as they navigate a series of work and family transitions. Furthermore, we often reduce work/life challenges to a single point in time, such as the decision to return to work after the birth of a child. However, work and family decisions are anything but stagnant. They shift as life and careers shift and are often filled with unpredictable events. By understanding and anticipating these shifts, working mothers can develop the resiliency they need at home and at work. We hope women will pick up this book at times when they may not be feeling confident, when they may regret a choice, or when they are stepping into an unknown situation, so that they can reframe any negative emotions they may be feeling in a more positive light. We believe that if women approach uncertainty about their current or future state with hope, rather than fear, they will have a greater likelihood of living life with maternal optimism.

Full text

Abstract:

Thomas Berry lamented that humans have dropped out of the Great Conversation with the rest of the natural world. We’ve objectified a world of things—imagining they exist solely for human use. If nature speaks, we are no longer listening. Yet the saints of the great spiritual traditions have long perceived trees, islands, rivers, and canyons as teachers, mirroring the inner world of the soul. Hildegard of Bingen attended to the greening power of trees. Ignatius Loyola was shaped by a cave experience. The Baal Shem Tov spoke the languages of birds, plants, and clouds. Focusing on a cottonwood tree as his own principal tutor, Belden Lane asks how the masters incorporated these earthy mentors into their spiritual lives. He backpacks into wild terrain to experience the power these nature archetypes had for them. Hiking through a recently burned Wyoming forest, for example, he understands Catherine of Siena’s fascination with fire as an image of the Divine. The book asks how spiritual guides in nature can serve us at various stages of our lives: As the child longs to fly like a bird; the adolescent seeks to flame out like a star; the adult needs the river’s flow; the elder ascends the mountain. All of these demand intensive soul work. Reconnecting with nature is the great ecological and spiritual necessity of our times. The earth and our souls depend upon it. As Stephen Jay Gould affirms, “We won’t fight to save what we haven’t learned to love.”

Abstract:

The division of Germany separated a nation, divided communities, and inevitably shaped the life histories of those growing up in the socialist dictatorship of the East and the liberal democracy of the West. This peculiarly German experience of the Cold War has so far mostly been seen through the lens of the divided Berlin or other border communities. What has been much less explored, however, is what division meant to the millions of Germans in East and West who lived far away from the Wall and the centres of political power. This book is the first comparative study to examine how villagers in both Germanies dealt with the imposition of two very different systems in their everyday lives. Focusing on two villages, Neukirch (Lausitz) in Saxony and Ebersbach (Fils) in Baden-Württemberg, it explores how local residents experienced and navigated social change in their localities in the postwar era. Based on a wide range of archival sources as well as oral history interviews, the book argues that there are parallel histories of responses to social change among villagers in postwar Germany. Despite the different social, political, and economic developments, the residents of both localities desired rural modernization, lamented the loss of ‘community’, and became politically active to control the transformation of their localities. The book thereby offers a bottom-up history of the divided Germany which shows how individuals on both sides of the Wall gave local meaning to large-scale processes of change.
