Sinopse

In "Primitive Athens as Described by Thucydides," Jane Ellen Harrison presents a meticulous examination of early Athenian society through the lens of Thucydides' historical accounts. Harrison employs a blend of classical literary analysis and anthropological insights to unpack the intricacies of Athenian civilization during its formative years. Her scholarly approach delves into the sociopolitical structures and cultural practices that underpinned Athenian life, illuminating the tensions between the democratic ideals and the primitive instincts that defined the era. By situating Thucydides' narratives within the broader framework of Greek historiography, Harrison elevates the understanding of how historical context influences narrative construction and the interpretation of ancient societies. Jane Ellen Harrison, a prominent classical scholar and pioneering feminist thinker, is renowned for her profound insights into ancient Greek culture and religion. Her academic background and passionate advocacy for women's roles in classical studies inform her interpretation of Thucydides, leading her to explore how the historian's observations reflect both the strengths and the frailties of Athenian democracy. Harrison's expertise is not merely theoretical; her immersion in the ancient world allows for a vibrant and engaging text that resonates across disciplines. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in ancient history, sociology, or the evolution of democratic thought. Harrison's nuanced interpretations not only enhance our understanding of Thucydides but also provoke critical reflections on the parallels between ancient and contemporary societies. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find value in this compelling exploration of Athenian origins, encouraging deeper contemplation of how the past informs our present.

    “Yes, master. I worship straight men.” 
    “Yeah…that’s a good boy.” Grant pets my hair like I’m some sort of dog. “It feels good to serve straight guys, doesn’t it?” 
    I kneel on the locker room floor, gazing up as the entire swim team surrounds me. Their tight speedos hug their fit, smooth bodies, causing my eyes to linger on the enormous shapes between their legs. 
    “Kiss his feet. Show how you feel about him,” Mike calls out. 
    I fall to the ground and begin my display of loyalty. Not long ago, I thought I liked girls, but these aggressive jocks showed me the truth. I’ll do anything for them—strip nude, drink their essence, let them all use my body… 
    I need to obey.

    Aliens - The Chequered History...

    The welcome given to refugees from fascist Europe is part of our fond nostalgia for Britain's role in the Second World War, nestling in our imagination next to images of evacuees clutching teddy bears, and milkmen picking their way through bomb rubble during the Blitz. But there is a darker side to this story. Then, as now, there was great suspicion, resentment and fear towards new arrivals, much of it kindled by the tabloid press. Then, as now, politicians dealt with a reluctance to accommodate refugees by hiding behind bureaucratic hurdles and obfuscation.
    Many of the 10,000 Kindertransport children who arrived here in the late 1930s have warm memories of the kindness they were shown, but half a million refugees were refused entry and most of them died as a result. And those who were accepted found their troubles far from over. While Britain fearfully awaited invasion in 1940, 30,000 Jews were interned as 'enemy aliens' and some were sent off to the colonies on dangerous and sometimes fatal voyages. Nor were Jews the only refugees clamouring for the thin gruel of public sympathy. Those fleeing fascism and civil war elsewhere in Europe found that whether they were met with kindness or hostility depended on the locals' political affiliations and newspapers of choice.
    Interweaving personal testimonies with historical sources, Paul Dowswell casts a fresh eye on the wartime era, painting a vivid picture of what life was really like for Britain's refugees.
