Mag World
Author: Emilia Ferrara
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781547277506
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
"Not every woman can be a beauty, but every woman can behave like a beauty," wrote Mrs. Walter Sohier in Vogue's February issue, 1950. These words may seem ancient to the iPhone-tapping, degree-earning, Oprah-celebrating women of our day, but has the message behind these words really left us? Magazines first started earning million dollar revenues in the 1970s and yet, 40 years later, media remains a chilly, disciplined and sometimes even painful world for women - most especially, for girls. Emilia Ferrara was a captive magazine reader, pouring through every page of every issue, month after month, in her teens through to college. However, as her passion for journalism grew, her inclination to serve the female reader through female titles waned. She repelled from their frivolous narratives and unhealthy standards. As she studied at Columbia's Journalism School and began researching how the beauty, fashion and magazine industries impact young girls, she began to write her first book: Mag World. Mag World is an non-fiction text that threads together voices such as Virginia Woolf, Walter Lippman and Tina Fey. Ferrara speculates over the future of girls as readers, much like Woolf imagined the future of women writers. She challenges intricate details of modern journalistic practices, adjacent to Lippmann's review on his day. And her hopeful (and sometimes humorous) tone echoes Fey's ability to deliver a positive critique. Written with both vision and forgiveness, Mag World is a melodic call for reform, a handshake to editors and an inspiration to today's girls who stand to inherit the future.

The Novel of Ferrara
Author: Giorgio Bassani
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393634299
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 597
Book Description
Giorgio Bassani’s six classic books, collected for the first time in English as the epic masterwork they were intended to be. Among the masters of twentieth-century literature, Giorgio Bassani and his northern Italian hometown of Ferrara “are as inseparable as James Joyce and Dublin or Italo Svevo and Trieste” (from the Introduction). The Novel of Ferrara brings together Bassani’s six classics, fully revised by the author at the end of his life. Set before, during, and after the Second World War, these interlocking stories present nuanced and unforgettable characters: the respected doctor whose homosexuality is exposed by an exploitative youth; the survivor of the Nazi death camps; the Jewish landowner, returned from exile, to find himself utterly displaced; the schoolteacher whose Communist idealism challenges a postwar generation. Suffused with new life by acclaimed translator and poet Jamie McKendrick, The Novel of Ferrara memorializes a city deeply informed by the Jewish community to which the narrator belongs. This seminal work seals Bassani’s indomitable reputation.

Factional Struggles
Author: Mathieu Caesar
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004345345
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This title is available in Open Access thanks to the support of Université de Genève. Factional Struggles explores the dynamics of conflicts among ruling elites within cities, dynastic courts, rural areas and regional noble lineages during the early modern period. Building on case studies from France, Italy, the Empire and the Swiss Confederation, the essays collected by Mathieu Caesar in this volume highlight how factions were formed and how they shaped political society from the late Middle Ages. The authors have especially focused on how political and religious ideologies contributed to the formation of partisanship, the role of propaganda, and the significance and strategies of factional leaders. The volume shows how factions, despite the generally negative view of them held by theologians and jurists, were in practice accepted and used as political tools.
