Un hogar que compartir junto a ti (Le Chrysanthème Gazette #Volumen 3)
by Elizabeth UrianCuando el destino enlaza los caminos de un vizconde, una niña y una dama, solo hay un posible desenlace: el amor. Ser cuñada del duque de Easton y vivir en Londres no siempre es una ventaja si en tu corazón sigues siendo una chica de campo, hija de un párroco rural. La pintura y una colaboración en una revista exitosa, compartida con verdaderas amigas, convertirán la estancia de Louisa Dalton en una experiencia que recordar. Solo el reencuentro con cierto vizconde al que tuvo que ayudar años atrás remueven en ella un verdadero sentimiento; uno que ya creía olvidado. Christopher Wade, vizconde de Shambrooke, no es un hombre libre. Ha adquirido compromisos de por vida que condicionan su futuro. Cuando se da cuenta de que, por una razón u otra, siempre acaba en deuda con la señorita Dalton, se atreve a pedirle, además, un gran favor. Ahora, ella ya no es la jovencita en la que jamás se fijó, sino que es una mujer maravillosa a la que su pupila adora. Cuando se da cuenta de que parecen una familia y que los sentimientos de los tres están en juego, solo una palabra equivocada puede echar por tierra aquello por lo que ha comenzado a ilusionarse. ¿Será capaz de valorarla como se merece? Y ¿aceptará Louisa la familia que se le brinda en bandeja o se alejará de la ciudad para siempre?

Phillipa (Las feas también los enamoran #5)
by Elizabeth UrianUna nueva y esperada entrega de la serie «Las feas también los enamoran». Phillipa no es como la mayoría de las damas londinenses que provienen de familias nobles. Es fea, pero nunca le ha importado, porque ya de joven supo qué deseaba para ella y luchó con ahínco para conseguirlo, aunque eso la alejara de los estándares sociales habituales. Ahora es enfermera, por lo que no se limita a ayudar a los desfavorecidos con obras de caridad, sino que ha hecho de su profesión un modo de vida. Además de trabajar en un hospital, también recorre los peores barrios de Londres tratando de ayudar a los que viven en ellos, por lo que precisa la ayuda de un protector. Tras un incidente, su familia toma cartas en el asunto y le impone a Sebastian Field, que la sigue a todas partes abrumándola con unas normas que coartan su libertad, lo que los enfrenta en sus distintos puntos de vista.

Cuando los sentimientos hagan acto de presencia, ambos deberán tener cuidado, pues los peligros acechan donde menos se lo esperan.
Seduciendo al corazón
by Elizabeth UrianUna nueva novela de Elizabeth Urian que todos sus lectores esperaban. ¿Se puede estar enamorada del amor? O más importante: ¿existe un "felices para siempre" tras la boda? Jennifer Walker es una dama neoyorkina, alegre, optimista y pizpireta de principios del siglo XX, que creía que su vida sería maravillosa tras dar el "sí quiero". Sin embargo, sus románticas expectativas se han visto truncadas a causa de un único culpable: su esposo, pues Ross parece un hombre ciego ante el amor, aun cuando le es servido en bandeja de plata. Nada dispuesta a dejarse vencer por los obstáculos, Jennifer decide conquistarle de una vez por todas, poniendo en marcha un audaz plan con un único fin: que cierto caballero con el que está casada caiga rendido a sus pies. -¿Estás burlándote? -No era esa miintención. -Ya me parecía. No es propio de ti. -¿Y qué, si puede saberse, es propio de mí? No sabía por qué se enfadaba, pero no le gustaba ese tono y la seguridad que lo acompañaba. -La seriedad, por supuesto. -Ella mostró una expresión que indicaba a las claras que otra consideración quedaba descartada-. Pero no te preocupes, ya me encargaré yo de hacerte cambiar, lo prometo -murmuró esto último por lo bajo y con una determinación que él no vio ni supo captar.

The Arab in Israeli Drama and Theatre (Contemporary Theatre Studies #Vol. 26)
by Dan UrianWhat is Israeli theatre? Is it only a Hebrew theatre staged in Israel? Are performances by Arab Israelis working in an Arabic theatre framework not part of the repertoire of Israeli theatre? Do they perhaps belong to the Palestinian theatre? What are the "borders" of Palestinian theatre? Are not theatrical works created in East Jerusalem by Arab Israeli playwrights and actors, and staged on occasion before Jewish Israeli audiences, part of a dialogue between Palestinian and Israeli cultures? Does "theatre" only include works staged under that title? These and other similarly absorbing questions arise in Dan Urian's wide-ranging and detailed study of the image of the Arab in Israeli drama and theatre. By the use of extensive examples to show how theatre, politics and personal perceptions intertwine, the author presents us with a model which can be used as a basis for the further discussion and study of similar social and artistic phenomena in other cultures in relation to their theatre and drama.
The Judaic Nature of Israeli Theatre: A Search for Identity (Contemporary Theatre Studies #Vol. 31.)
by Dan UrianTheatre has, since the time of the Jewish Enlightenment, served the secular community in its conflict with the religious. This book surveys the secular-religious rift and then describes the enhanced concern of the secular community in Israel for its own Jewishness and its expression in the theatre - especially following the 1967 War. It then moves on to a specific study of the play Bruira and finally reviews the phenomenon of the return to Orthodox Judaism by secular individuals.
Palestinians and Israelis in the Theatre
by Dan UrianThe Jewish-Israeli theatre is a complex and developed system in which the dispute with the Palestinians constitutes just one of the important components in its repertoire; while the Palestinian theatre, both within and outside of Israel, is being consolidated. This work brings together these two approaches by relating to the Palestinian theme as it appears in the Jewish-Israeli theatre and by attempting to characterize the Palestinian theatre in general.
Biolinguistic Investigations and the Formal Language Hierarchy (Routledge Leading Linguists)
by Juan UriagerekaThis volume collects some of Juan Uriagereka’s previously published pieces and presentations on biolinguistics in recent years in one comprehensive volume. The book’s introduction lays the foundation for the field of biolinguistics, which looks to integrate concepts from the natural sciences in the analysis of natural language, situating the discussion within the minimalist framework. The volume then highlights eight of the author’s key papers from the literature, some co-authored, representative of both the architectural and evolutionary considerations to be taken into account within biolinguistic research. The book culminates in a final chapter showcasing the body of work being done on biolinguistics within the research program at the University of Maryland and their implications for interdisciplinary research and future directions for the field. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars interested in the interface between language and the natural sciences, including linguistics, syntax, biology, archaeology, and anthropology.
Derivations: Exploring the Dynamics of Syntax (Routledge Leading Linguists)
by Juan UriagerekaDerivations draws together some of the most influential work of one of the world's leading syntactitians, Juan Uriagekera. These essays provide several empirical analyses and technical solutions within the Minimalist Program. The book persues a naturalistic take on Minimalism, explicitly connecting a variety of linguistic principles and conditions to arguably analogous laws and circumstances in nature.

Clearing Out: A Novel
by Helene UriWinner of the Nadia Christensen Prize for translation from the American-Scandinavian FoundationIn a masterful blend of fiction and autobiography, a Norwegian novelist sends her character to the far north to learn what she can about their Sami ancestryInspired by Helene Uri&’s own journey into her family&’s ancestry, Clearing Out, an emotionally resonant novel by one of Norway&’s most celebrated authors, tells two intertwining stories. A novelist, named Helene, is living in Oslo with her husband and children and contemplating her new protagonist, Ellinor Smidt—a language researcher, divorced and in her late thirties, with a doctorate but no steady job.An unexpected call from a distant relative reveals that Helene&’s grandfather, Nicolai Nilsen, was the son of a coastal (sjø) Sami fisherman—something no one in her family ever talked about. Uncertain how to weave this new knowledge into who she believes she is, Helene continues to write her novel, in which her heroine Ellinor travels to Finnmark in the far north to study the dying languages of the Sami families there. What Ellinor finds among the Sami people she meets is a culture little known in her own world; she discovers history richer and more alluring than rumor and a connection charged with mystery and promise. Through her persistence in approaching an elderly Sami activist, and her relationship with a local Sami man, Ellinor confronts a rift that has existed between two families for generations.Intricate and beautifully constructed, Clearing Out offers a solemn reflection on how identities, like families, are formed and fractured and recovered as stories are told. In its depiction of the forgotten and the fiercely held memories among the Sea (sjø) Sami of northern Norway, the novel is a powerful statement on what is lost, and what remains in reach, in the character and composition of contemporary life.
Blackness in Israel: Rethinking Racial Boundaries (Routledge African Studies)
by Uri Dorchin Gabriella DjerrahianThis book explores contemporary inflections of blackness in Israel and foreground them in the historical geographies of Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The contributors engage with expressions and appropriations of modern forms of blackness for boundary-making, boundary-breaking, and boundary-re-making in contemporary Israel, underscoring the deep historical roots of contemporary understandings of race, blackness, and Jewishness. Allowing a new perspective on the sociology of Israel and the realm of black studies, this volume reveals a highly nuanced portrait of the phenomenon of blackness, one that is located at the nexus of global, regional, national and local dimensions. While race has been discussed as it pertains to Judaism at large, and Israeli society in particular, blackness as a conceptual tool divorced from phenotype, skin tone and even music has yet to be explored. Grounded in ethnographic research, the study demonstrates that many ethno-racial groups that constitute Israeli society intimately engage with blackness as it is repeatedly and explicitly addressed by a wide array of social actors. Enhancing our understanding of the politics of identity, rights, and victimhood embedded within the rhetoric of blackness in contemporary Israel, this book will be of interest to scholars of blackness, globalization, immigration, and diaspora.

Faulkner and His Contemporaries (Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Series)
by Joseph R. Urgo Ann J. AbadieAlthough he spent the bulk of his life in Oxford, Mississippi-far removed from the intellectual centers of modernism and the writers who created it—William Faulkner (1897–1962) proved to be one of the American novelists who most comprehensively grasped modernism. In his fiction he tested its tenets in the most startling and insightful ways. What, then, did such contemporaries as Ernest Hemingway, Eudora Welty, and Walker Evans think of his work? How did his times affect and accept what he wrote? Faulkner and His Contemporaries explores the relationship between the Nobel laureate, ensconced in his “postage stamp of native soil,” and the world of letters within which he created his masterpieces. In this anthology, essays focus on such topics as how Faulkner's literary antecedents (in particular, Willa Cather and Joseph Conrad) influenced his writing, his literary/aesthetic feud with rival Ernest Hemingway, and the common themes he shares with fellow southerners Welty and Evans. Several essays examine the environment in which Faulkner worked. Deborah Clarke concentrates on the rise of the automobile industry. W. Kenneth Holditch shows how the city of New Orleans acted as a major force in Faulkner's fiction, and Grace Elizabeth Hale examines how the civil rights era of Faulkner's later career compelled him to deal with his ideas about race and rebellion in new ways.
Faulkner and Material Culture: Faulkner And Yoknapatawpha 2004 (Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Series)
by Joseph R. Urgo Ann J. AbadiePhotographs, lumber, airplanes, hand-hewn coffins—in every William Faulkner novel and short story worldly material abounds. The essays in Faulkner and Material Culture provide a fresh understanding of the things Faulkner brought from the world around him to the one he created. Charles S. Aiken surveys Faulkner's representation of terrain and concludes, contrary to established criticism, that to Faulkner, Yoknapatawpha was not a microcosm of the South but a very particular and quite specifically located place. Jay Watson works with literary theory, philosophy, the history of woodworking and furniture-making, and social and intellectual history to explore how Light in August is tied intimately to the region's logging and woodworking industries. Other essays in the volume include Kevin Railey's on the consumer goods that appear in Flags in the Dust. Miles Orvell discusses the Confederate Soldier monuments installed in small towns throughout the South and how such monuments enter Faulkner's work. Katherine Henninger analyzes Faulkner's fictional representation of photographs and the function of photography within his fiction, particularly in The Sound and the Fury, Light in August, and Absalom, Absalom!.
Faulkner and the Ecology of the South (Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Series)
by Joseph R. UrgoIn 1952, Faulkner noted the exceptional nature of the South when he characterized it as “the only really authentic region in the United States, because a deep indestructible bond still exists between man and his environment.” The essays collected in Faulkner and the Ecology of the South explore Faulkner's environmental imagination, seeking what Ann Fisher-Wirth calls the : “ecological counter-melody” of his texts. “Ecology” was not a term in common use outside the sciences in Faulkner's time. However, the word “environment” seems to have held deep meaning for Faulkner. Often he repeated his abiding interest in “man in conflict with himself, with his fellow man, or with his time and place, his environment.” Eco-criticism has led to a renewed interest among literary scholars for what in this volume Cecelia Tichi calls, “humanness within congeries of habitats and environments.” Philip Weinstein draws on Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus. Eric Anderson argues that Faulkner's fiction has much to do with ecology in the sense that his work often examines the ways in which human communities interact with the natural world, and François Pitavy sees Faulkner's wilderness as unnatural in the ways it represents reflections of man's longings and frustrations. Throughout these essays, scholars illuminate in fresh ways the precarious ecosystem of Yoknapatawpha County.
Faulkner's Inheritance: Faulkner And Yoknapatawpha 2005 (Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Series)
by Joseph R. UrgoEssays by Susan V. Donaldson, Lael Gold, Adam Gussow, Martin Kreiswirth, Jay Parini, Noel Polk, Judith L. Sensibar, Jon Smith, and Priscilla Wald William Faulkner once said that the writer “collects his material all his life from everything he reads, from everything he listens to, everything he sees, and he stores that away in sort of a filing cabinet . . . in my case it's not anything near as neat as a filing case; it's more like a junk box.” Faulkner tended to be quite casual about his influences. For example, he referred to the South as “not very important to me. I just happen to know it, and don't have time in one life to learn another one and write at the same time.” His Christian background, according to him, was simply another tool he might pick up on one of his visits to “the lumber room” that would help him tell a story. Sometimes he claimed he never read James Joyce's Ulysses or had never heard of Thomas Mann—writers he would elsewhere declare as “the two great men in my time.” Sometimes he expressed annoyance at readers who found esoteric theory in his fiction, when all he wanted them to find was Faulkner: “I have never read [Freud]. Neither did Shakespeare. I doubt if Melville did either, and I'm sure Moby-Dick didn't.” Nevertheless, Faulkner's life was rich in what he did, saw, and read, and he seems to have remembered all of it and put it to use in his fiction. Faulkner's Inheritance is a collection of essays that examines the influences on Faulkner's fiction, including his own family history, Jim Crow laws, contemporary fashion, popular culture, and literature.
Current and Emerging Issues in the Audiovisual Industry
by Alicia Urgellés Mercedes Medina Mónica HerreroThis book focuses on the challenges of competition in television broadcasting markets. How is the evolution from a two-sided market to platform economics reshaping competition in television broadcasting? How are new market dynamics changing competition for content creation and acquisition and the revenue streams? Will content remain king? Or will new competitive dynamics undermine the sustainable creation of high quality content, especially in small media markets?
The Painted Stork
by A. J. UrfiThe book will cover the entire range of the Painted Stork--beyond its stronghold in India and Sri Lanka to other countries--E Asia as well. For the sake of comparison, relevant information will be included about the other species of storks--both solitary as well as colonial, of Asia, as well as those in other parts of the world. Certainly plenty of references will be made about the work done on the American Wood Stork. Studies are underway in order to better understand the role of the monsoon rains on the nesting pattern of Painted Stork, besides attempting a review of the global status of the species. The former is likely to be of interest in augmenting our understanding about how global climate change is going to affect birds across India and the second is likely to raise interesting points about the distribution of species and their ranges. Both these studies will be carried through 2009 and should hopefully be included in the proposed book. Naturally, the focused interest in field research on the Painted Stork has resulted in accumulation of considerable information on this particular species, which is beyond the information contained on some standard Indian and international works and ornithological texts. The author hopes to include the entire spread of information of this species--from its systematics, evolution, distribution, ecology to its role in human culture as well as its association with mythologies. In other words, topics have not been restricted to the areas of the author's research but have spilled over into areas of anthropology, ecology, conservation, etc.
