The central theme of this publication is the influence of eastern European Jewish architects, who played a significant role in the reform movements in architecture and urban planning early in the 20th century and helped shape modernist architecture, or Neues Bauen. Due to socioeconomic factors, the local architects involved were often Jewish. In German-speaking networks academic institutions as the Bauhaus, the Deutscher Werkbund, and other were quite influential. As in Germany, due to National Socialist persecution, exile or emigration, the architects themselves have frequently been forgotten. 13 scholars and professors from eight eastern European countries and from Israel and Germany reconstruct the interactions and exchanges through the works and biographies of the architects.

This book brings together essays by an international group of scholars and artists, focusing on live performance inspired by living in exile, or created by exiled artists. Bringing together a range of perspectives to examine the full impact of political, socio-economic or psychological experiences of exile, Performing Exile: Foreign Bodies presents an inclusive mix of established and emerging voices from varied cultural and geographic affiliations. Chapters blend close critical analysis and autoethnography to document and interrogate performances and the political, religious, economic and cultural contexts that inform them. With a foreword by Yana Meerzon, and featuring essays on artists of Mexican, Korean-American, Lebanese-Quebecois, Spanish, Azerbaijani and Canadian Aboriginal origin, to name a few, Performing Exile is truly diverse.

L’aventure politique détermine le sens de l’écriture chez Verlaine : sa manière. Contre la tradition qui a cultivé l’image affadissante d’un chantre élégiaque, aux accents pathétiques, cet essai montre avec force qu’il a été un poète résolument engagé dans son siècle. Si l’écrivain s’énonce toujours « en sourdine » ou sur le « mode mineur », c’est qu’il y reconnaît, en vers comme en prose, l’expression d’une éthique et d’une politique destinées aux victimes de l’histoire. Verlaine écrit d’abord pour les humbles, les sans-noms, tous ceux qui sont réduits au silence, et ne savent pas qu’ils ont droit au monde. L’emblème en serait le projet des Vaincus, un livre qui a hanté le poète de 1867 à 1874. Car il illustre une tension fondamentale entre l’exil et l’utopie, qui traverse toute l’œuvre. De Poèmes saturniens à Sagesse et Bonheur, une même relation unit le sujet à l’histoire : démocrate et socialiste au temps du bonapartisme, chrétien en pleine ère laïque et républicaine, il reste exclu et dominé. Exilé, le sujet renouvelle sans cesse l’exigence critique d’un monde meilleur. Le sens de l’utopie fonde le devenir de l’œuvre chez Verlaine.

This open access book analyses the practice of banishment and what it can tell us about the values of late medieval society concerning morally acceptable behaviour. It focuses on the Dutch town of Kampen and considers the exclusion of offenders through banishment and the redemption of individuals after their exile. Banishment was a common punishment in late medieval Europe, especially for sexual offences. In Kampen it was also meted out as a consequence of the non-payment of fines, after which people could arrange repayment schemes which allowed them to return. The books firstly considers the legal context of the practice of banishment, before discussing punishment in Kampen more generally. In the third chapter the legal practice of banishment as a punitive and coercive measure is discussed. The final chapter focuses on the redemption of exiles, either because their punishment was completed, or because they arranged for the payment of outstanding fines.
