Abstract

Christmas wouldn't be the same without the "things". This book examines why the trees, cards, wrapping paper, toy villages and Macy's holiday parade play such an important role in the festivities. Through the medium of mass culture, Christmas is here primarily defined as a secular celebration.

Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Christmas provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary account of all aspects of Christmas across the globe, from the specifically religious to the purely cultural. The contributions are drawn from a distinguished group of international experts from across numerous disciplines, including literary scholars, theologians, historians, biblical scholars, sociologists, anthropologists, art historians, and legal experts. The volume provides authoritative treatments of a range of topics, from the origins of Christmas to the present; decorating trees to eating plum pudding; from the Bible to contemporary worship; from carols to cinema; from the Nativity Story to Santa Claus; from Bethlehem to Japan; from Catholics to Baptists; from secularism to consumerism.0Christmas is the biggest celebration on the planet. Every year, a significant percentage of the world's population is draw to this holiday-from Cape Cod to Cape Town, from South America to South Korea, and on and on across the globe. The Christmas season takes up a significant part of the entire year. For many countries, the holiday is a major force in their national economy. Moreover, Christmas is not just a modern holiday, but has been an important feast for most Christians since the fourth century and a dominant event in many cultures and countries for over a millennium. The Oxford Handbook of Christmas provides an invaluable reference point for anyone interested in this global phenomenon.

Abstract

Quand les parents se séparent, l'enfant, qui occupe une place majuscule au sein de la famille, devient souvent l'enjeu central des conflits. Sa souffrance n'est alors pas tant liée à la rupture elle-même qu'à la manière dont celle-ci se passe. Malgré leur bonne volonté, les parents, submergés par leurs propres émotions, peinent parfois à l'épargner. Les effets les plus néfastes s'observent quand, dans un contexte d'intercation conjugale violente, l'un des parents (parfois les deux) prend l'enfant à témoin, alimentant son sentiment d'impuissance. Expérience clinique à l'appui, Marie-France Hirigoyen explique les dangers qui pèsent sur ceux qui se retrouvent au coeur du conflit et propose des solutions, tant au niveau familial que politique et juridique, pour mieux les préserver. Riche de nombreux témoignages, de descriptions de sitautions réelles, de conseils pratiques et d'analyses d'experts, ce livre s'adresse à tous les parents en cours de séparation ou séparés. Il se veut aussi un outil pour les professionnels, qu'ils soient avocats, magistrats, travailleurs sociaux, psychiatres ou psychologues. L'enjeu est de taille : protéger les enfants, les former à un mode de communication pacifié, c'est préserver l'avenir.

Abstract

For poets, priests, and politicians -- and especially ordinary Germans -- in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the image of the loving nuclear family gathered around the Christmas tree symbolized the unity of the nation at large. German Christmas was supposedly organic, a product of the winter solstice rituals of pagan "Teutonic" tribes, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, and the age-old customs that defined German character. Yet, as Joe Perry argues, Germans also used these annual celebrations to contest the deepest values that held the German community together: faith, family, and love, certainly, but also civic responsibility, material prosperity, and national belonging. This volume explores the invention, evolution, and politicization of Germany's favorite national holiday. According to Perry, Christmas played a crucial role in public politics, as revealed in the militarization of "War Christmas" during World War I and World War II, the Nazification of Christmas by the Third Reich, and the political manipulation of Christmas during the Cold War. Perry offers a close analysis of the impact of consumer culture on popular celebration and the conflicts created as religious, commercial, and political authorities sought to control the holiday's meaning. By unpacking the intimate links between domestic celebration, popular piety, consumer desires, and political ideology, Perry concludes that family festivity was central in the making and remaking of public national identities.
