Sinopse

In "Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life," Lafcadio Hearn presents a profound exploration of the intricate tapestry that constitutes Japanese spirituality and cultural nuance. Employing an evocative and impressionistic literary style, Hearn seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes, folklore, and observations, offering readers a window into the subtle emotional landscape of Japan at the turn of the 20th century. Rich with symbolism and sensitivity, the text serves not only as a cultural commentary but also as a poignant reflection on the universal themes of love, grief, and connection, highlighting the depth of Japanese inner life in contrast to Western notions of individualism. Lafcadio Hearn, a cultural bridge between East and West, spent much of his life in Japan, where he embraced and articulated the beauty of its traditions and philosophies. His background as a multicultural figure, born in Greece and raised in the United States, shaped his unique perspective, enabling him to appreciate and analyze the subtleties of Japanese life in a way that resonates cross-culturally. Hearn's deep empathy and passion for his adopted home illuminate his writing, making it not merely observational but deeply personal. I wholeheartedly recommend "Kokoro" to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and an appreciation for Hearn's lyrical prose. This book will enrich your perspective on emotional expression and cultural values, serving as a remarkable testament to the enduring bonds between human experience and cultural identity.

    Division of the Roman Empire...

    Rome’s Imperial Crisis has been difficult for historians to summarize, which is why, despite being one of the most intriguing periods in Roman history, it is often overlooked by people who have chosen to focus on the more cohesive periods before and after it. Even though he is best remembered for his religious reforms and what his (mostly Christian) admirers described as his spiritual enlightenment, Constantine was also an able and effective ruler in his own right. Rising to power in a period of decline and confusion for the Roman Empire, he gave it a new and unexpected lease on life by repelling the repeated invasions of the Germanic tribes on the Northern and Eastern borders of the Roman domains, even going so far as to re-expand the frontier into parts of Trajan’s old conquest of Dacia (modern Romania), which had been abandoned as strategically untenable.  
    	However, it can be argued that despite his military successes – the most notable of which occurred fighting for supremacy against other Romans – Constantine may well have set the stage for the ultimate collapse of the Roman Empire as it had existed up until that point. It was Constantine who first decided that Rome, exposed and vulnerable near the gathering masses of barbarians moving into Germania and Gaul, was a strategically unsafe base for the empire, and thus he expanded the city of New Rome on the Dardanelles Straits, creating what eventually became Constantinople. By moving the political, administrative, and military capital of the empire from Rome to the East, as well as the imperial court with all its attendant followers, Constantine laid the groundwork for the eventual schism which saw the two parts of the Roman Empire become two entirely separate entities, go their own way, and eventually collapse piecemeal under repeated waves of invasion.

    Freedom of Angels - Childhood in...

    'I entered Goldenbridge orphanage in my Communion outfit. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing there.'At age seven, Bernadette Fahy was delivered with her three brothers to Goldenbridge Orphanage. She was to stay there until she was sixteen.
    Goldenbridge has come to represent some of the worst aspects of childrearing practices in Ireland of the 1950s and 1960s. Seen as the offspring of people who had strayed from social respectability and religious standards, these children were made to pay for the 'sins' of their parents. Bernadette tells of the pain, fear, hunger, hard labour and isolation experienced in the orphanage.
    Can a person recover from such a childhood? How does the spirit ever take flight -- and gain the 'freedom of angels'?
    This is Bernadette Fahy's concern. Now trained and working as a counsellor, she has had to dig deeply into her past to understand the patterns laid down by her upbringing. She has had to rebuild her life, and now she helps others to do the same.
    This book is a story of triumph over the harshest of circumstances.

    Mother Media - Hot and Cool...

    From the nursery to the prison, from the clinic to the commune, Mother Media tells the story of how we arrived at our contemporary understanding of what a mother is and how understandings of "bad" mothering formed our contemporary panics about "bad" media. In this book, leading historian of psychology Hannah Zeavin examines twentieth-century pediatric, psychological, educational, industrial, and economic norms around mediated mothering and technologized parenting. The book charts the crisis of the family across the twentieth century and the many ingenious attempts to remediate nursemaid and mother via speculative technologies and screen media. 
     
     
     
    Growing out of her previous award-winning book The Distance Cure, which considered technologized care, the book lays bare the contradictions of techno-parenting and how it relates to conceptions of "maternal fitness," medical redlining, and surveillance of children, parents, and other caregivers. The author offers narratives of parenting in its extremity (for example, Shaken Baby Syndrome) and its ostensible banality (for example, the Nanny Cam) and how the two are often intertwined. Ultimately, Zeavin grapples with a simple contradiction: technology is seen and judged as harmful in domestic and educational spaces, even as it is a saving grace in the unending labor of raising a family.
