Os livros de receitas foram e são, para as civilizações, o rol das artes gustativas, o manancial de textos com suas indicações de preparo de sabores para variadas ocasiões. Os receituários gastronômicos oitocentistas são dotados de regras de servir à mesa, de métodos para trinchar ou cortar em pedaços ou fatiar as iguarias postas, além do principal: os ingredientes e modos de preparo dos pratos. Este livro referencia-se em obras gastronômicas do século XIX que marcaram a época das grandes transformações sociais, econômicas e políticas no cenário brasileiro, propiciadas pela chegada da família real portuguesa ao país, que, certamente, trouxe seus hábitos alimentares, usos e utensílios domésticos, influenciando os costumes dos brasileiros. Trata-se das obras intituladas Cozinheiro Imperial e Cozinheiro Nacional. Assim, pretendeu-se cumprir um objetivo primordial no ramo lexicológico: apresentar o vocabulário definido e exemplificado do campo lexical da gastronomia brasileira do século XIX (em especial, os ingredientes) constante nos citados livros, organizando-se o mesmo com base na Teoria dos Campos Lexicais estudada por Eugênio Coseriu ([1977]1981). Portanto, aos pesquisadores ou apreciadores da arte da cozinha, a leitura desta obra permitirá adentrar o mundo gastronômico conhecendo ingredientes integrantes das receitas do século XIX no Brasil, alguns, atualmente, inusitados, outros em desuso, e ainda outros continuamente em nossas cozinhas.

This volume unites a team of distinguished scholars from France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the USA to celebrate Rosalind B. Brooke's immense contribution to Franciscan studies over the last 60 years. It is divided into four sections, beginning with an appraisal of Dr Brooke's influence upon Franciscan studies. The second section contains a series of historical studies and expressions of the Franciscan spirit. Hagiographical studies occupy the third section, reflecting the friars'ministry and the thirst for the renewal of the Franciscan vision. The fourth part explores the art and iconographical images of St. Francis and his friars. These innovative studies reflect new insights into and interpretations of Franciscan life in the Middle Ages. Contributors are (n order of appearance) Michael W. Blastic, O.F.M., Maria Pia Alberzoni, Bert Roest, Michael F. Cusato, O.F.M., Jens Röhrkasten, David Luscombe, Luigi Pellegrini. Peter Murray Jones, Maria Teresa Dolso, Michael J.P. Robson, André Vauchez, David Burr, William R. Cook, Nigel Morgan, and Kathleen Giles Arthur.

A fascinating look at the anxious pleasures of Japanese visual culture during World War II. Airplanes, gas masks, and bombs were common images in wartime Japan. Yet amid these emblems of anxiety, tasty caramels were offered to children with paper gas masks as promotional giveaways, and magazines featured everything from attractive models in the latest civil defense fashion to futuristic weapons. Gas Mask Nation explores the multilayered construction of an anxious yet perversely pleasurable visual culture of Japanese civil air defense—or bōkū—through a diverse range of artworks, photographs, films and newsreels, magazine illustrations, postcards, cartoons, advertising, fashion, everyday goods, government posters, and state propaganda. Gennifer Weisenfeld reveals the immersive aspects of this culture, in which Japan's imperial subjects were mobilized to regularly perform highly orchestrated civil air defense drills throughout the country. The war years in Japan are often portrayed as a landscape of privation and suppression under the censorship of the war machine. But alongside the horrors, pleasure, desire, wonder, creativity, and humor were all still abundantly present in a period before air raids went from being a fearful specter to a deadly reality.

A prequel to the author's previous monographs on the Great War and the Foundations of the Spanish Civil War, this book analyses the troubled and often violent path of Spain to modernity. During the nearly 30 years of history explored (1892–1921), the country appeared to be caught in a kind of Groundhog Day. It was rocked in the 1890s by an ill-fated colonial adventure and a spiral of anarchist terrorism and praetorian-led repression, mostly in Barcelona, which culminated with the murder of the Conservative prime minister, Antonio CÁnovas, in August 1897. Twenty-four years later, Spain was undergoing a similar set of circumstances: a military quagmire in Morocco and vicious social warfare, with its epicentre in the Catalan capital, which resulted in the killing of the then Conservative prime minister, Eduardo Dato, in March 1921. The chronological framework highlights the gradual crisis, but also resilience, of the ruling Restoration Monarchy. Francisco Romero SalvadÓ pursues the thesis that this crisis could be largely explained by focusing on the correlation between two apparently contradictory conceptual terms, but which in fact proved to be supplementary: the extent to which the persistence of the political comedy embodied by an unreformed liberal but oligarchic order perpetuated a social tragedy. Notwithstanding the peculiarity of the author's approach, this study rejects any notion of determinism or exceptionalism. On the contrary, Spain was not an extraordinary case within the European context but constituted a laboratory par excellence of the turmoil which marked this age. Indeed, a watershed period of fast technological progress, economic modernization and cultural awareness clashed head-on with traditional constitutional and liberal states that found they were unable to retain their past hegemony in the dawning era of mass politics. The outcome was unprecedented social warfare which led in many cases to a reactionary backlash and the establishment of authoritarian formulas of governance.

Cette étude embrasse histoire comparative, diplomatique, militaire, coloniale, stratégique, économique, migratoire, culturelle, afin de montrer combien les relations entre ces deux vieilles nations européennes, assoupies après la bourrasque napoléonienne, se sont réveillées à la suite des défaites et des retraits des années 1898-1899.
