This article examines the emergence of women's literature on football in Israel. Traditionally, football literature has been dominated by men, but a small number of Israeli women have started writing about the sport. These women offer a fresh perspective on football, focusing on the atmosphere, players, and fans. Although the number of women writing about football is limited, their presence in this genre is growing, challenging the idea that football is exclusively for men. The article also explores the broader context of women's writing in Israel and the changing landscape of women's literature. [Extracted from the article]

Topics include the academic community's reaction to the suicide of Heilbrun in 2003, the author's reflection on the melancholy being felt by Heilbrun as she wrote in the book, her thoughts on the second wave of feminism, Heilbrun's interest in the history of women, and views on Heilbrun's description of aging and retirement as liberation in her book.

Based on a bibliometric analysis of Scopus‐indexed articles on decolonial research on migration from Social Science disciplines this article outlines the main topics covered by the sampled literature, namely: (1) the academic migration as framed by the internationalization discourse in higher education; (2) migrants' social movements and their transnational dimension; (3) gender and age in decolonial studies of migration; (4) the ways in which intersectionality shapes migrants' experiences through their class, race, gender and sexual orientation; and (5) critique of humanitarian discourse regarding refugees and asylum seekers. The article shows that type of literature first emerged in 2010 and significantly increased after 2020. Likewise, the geographic distribution of the knowledge production in this field highlights the uneven contributions by various countries and regions. Moreover, this picture is further complicated by the biographies of authors who, in many instances, are academic migrants coming from different national backgrounds in the Global South to work in higher education institutions in the Global North. The article ends with suggestions for further developments of the decolonial approach in the study of migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ways in which an author tells a story to a reader and the strategies employed to create a prose narrative are referred to as narrative techniques. Narratology has its roots in Aristotle and Hegel, who said that they are ordering of events in discourse. This article analyses different narratological approaches used by NG Sibiya on his novel, Bengithi Lizokuna, where descriptive and expository techniques, foreshadowing, dialogue, flashbacks, code-switching, frame story and plot twist techniques are utilised. This study tries to answer questions about why these techniques are implemented, and how they develop a story. Using a qualitative research method, the causes are explained using narratology as a theory of analysis. The episodes and excerpts that make up the data were selected from Bengithi Lizokuna and coded according to the relevant narrative techniques. Data analysis and discussion reveal that the readership, visualising incidents, entertainment and resonance were among the reasons why Sibiya NG selected these narrative techniques as his story-telling approach. Additionally, research revealed that the author's biography and plot had an impact on the narrative technique utilised in this novel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article tells the story of a three-decade delay in the publication of Masud Khan's personal diary, which he called his Work Books. They were meant for publication after his death in 1989, yet he neglected to name a literary executor prior to his death, and the copyright was subsequently allocated to the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). The IPA chose to destroy their copy of the Work Books in 2019, alongside all other Khan-related materials in their possession, yet Linda Hopkins, author of an acclaimed biography of Khan, worked alongside Steven Kuchuck to obtain permission from the IPA Executive Committee to publish an edited version of an exact copy of the Work Books which Khan had given to his close friends Robert and Sybil Stoller for eventual publication. This is the story of a struggle to get permissions, after objections were raised by various psychoanalysts who mistakenly feared the contents of the Work Books would invade the privacy rights of Khan's patients.

Aristoxenus of Tarentum (375-335 BC) was one of Aristotle’s most important students. He was best known for his treatises on musical theory, including the Elements of Harmonic Theory. However, Aristoxenus was also notable as a great author of biographies of personalities such as Pythagoras, Archytas, Socrates and Plato. Unfortunately, only fragments of these works have reached us. However, from reading these fragments we can derive very interesting information about the biographies of these philosophers and the way they were portrayed in Antiquity. Furthermore, we can also reach some conclusions about Aristoxenus’ position regarding Socratic-Platonic theories. In this paper I will discuss the information contained in the fragments of biographies that Aristoxenus wrote about Socrates and Plato and what would be his point of view on these authors would be.

This essay examines Benjamin Robert Haydon's neglected transcripts of John Keats's letters (1845–46). Haydon copied these letters to aid the writing of Richard Monckton Milnes's first biography of the poet, Life, Letters, and Literary Remains, of John Keats (1848). For reasons unknown, however, subsequent critics and scholars have consigned the transcript copies to oblivion without making available their full text (some of which is omitted in Milnes's Life). In addition to the transcripts themselves, Haydon's annotations offer a new insight into his close relationship with Keats. The material will be of interest to many Keats scholars, especially those who wish to explore the complexities of his reception in the mid-nineteenth century and beyond, as well as the friendship between the poet and the painter.

This paper appraises the work of Harry Braverman (1920–76), specifically his classic, Labor and Monopoly Capital , published in 1974 and remaining an influential reference for what has become the labour process approach to the study of work in capitalist societies. Labor and Monopoly Capital (LMC) reshaped what was then known as industrial sociology in the English-speaking world and was impactful across a range of disciplines, including history, organisation and management studies, comparative political economy, and labour geography. It is widely regarded as the foundational text of labour process theory (LPT). Fifty years after the initial publication of LMC, that theoretical approach is not only alive and well, but in the past decade, undergone something of a resurgence, influencing global communities of scholars. The paper takes a close look primarily at the text in its context, examining the genesis of the arguments, the distinctive biography of the author, and the structure of the book drawing out its major and minor themes, including a critical assessment of sources and evidence. We argue that the enormous impact of LMC can be explained by its successful challenge to existing orthodoxies about trajectories in work, technology, and management dominant in the social sciences and orthodox Marxism. This is followed up with a discussion of the reception, diffusion, and development of LMC comparatively and across different geographic domains and academic disciplines. As the debate on LMC eventually became a much broader programme of theory and research on the labour process, we consider some of the key points of differentiation from one of the foundational texts. Whilst acknowledging its enduring legacy, the final section argues that there is only a route forward from, rather than back to Braverman, given the profound changes to global capital and labour in the 50 years since LMC appeared.

The article is devoted to a critical analysis of the legacy of Edmund Spencer – a nineteenth century British travel writer and author of numerous books and articles on Circassia and the Caucasus. The widespread use of Spencer's work by historians notwithstanding, until now there has been no published biography of the author, which led to a proliferation of claims about his background and the timing and circumstances of his visit to Circassia. This article contributes to the correction of this omission by presenting the results of the latest biographical research on Edmund Spencer, based on manuscript and printed primary sources. Despite doubts expressed by some historians about the existence of such a person, the article conclusively proves that Edmund Spencer was indeed a real historical personage. Furthermore, since until now no attempt has been made to evaluate the reliability of Spencer's works on Circassia as historical sources, the article examines references to Spencer in contemporaneous manuscript sources, such as the British, French and Russian diplomatic, military and intelligence correspondence and reports, finding that available documentary evidence refutes the author's claim of a visit to the interior of Circassia. The attitudes of Western scholars of the period and of foreign visitors to Circassia raise further serious doubts about the authenticity of Spencer's travelogues. The article calls into question Spencer's account of his travels in Circassia as a source of geographic, ethnographic and sociological knowledge, concluding that it was a nothing more than a fabrication.

This article explores the thinking of Dallas Willard and his contribution to contemporary Christian spiritual formation. In the first chapter, the author's biography is outlined, addressing his perspectives on discipleship, the Kingdom of God, spiritual formation, and spiritual disciplines. The second chapter examines the paradigmatic crisis in contemporary society, highlighting reactions to Christian spirituality. Willard, through his protoevangelical perspective, emerges as a balanced alternative, transcending social isolation, individualism, and other characteristics of postmodernity. By connecting Willard's ideas to contemporary challenges, his enduring relevance for authentic Christian living is emphasized. In a context where society seeks meaning in a complex and fluid reality, Willard's contributions resonate as a call to deep spiritual formation and an authentic experience of the Gospel.

Duccio Colombo's book, "The Soviet Spy Thriller: Writers, Power, and the Masses, 1938–2002," explores the genre of Soviet spy fiction and its relationship to the state's counterintelligence agenda. Colombo argues that spy fiction in the Soviet Union was primarily propagandistic and ideological, serving the official objectives of Soviet domestic and foreign policy. The book also highlights the dangers faced by writers in this genre, as they had to navigate an atmosphere of suspicion and paranoia. While Colombo's work provides a comprehensive overview of Soviet spy fiction, it is criticized for its reliance on already published materials and lack of archival research. Nonetheless, the book sheds light on the prevalence of xenophobia and conspiracy thinking in the genre, which has persisted even after the collapse of the Soviet Union. [Extracted from the article]

The objective of this article is to analyze the work Diário de Bitita (1986), by Carolina Maria de Jesus, through a critical-social and bibliographical analysis. The work will discuss the perspective of memory and ancestry in the narrative, as the plot deals with an autobiography by Carolina Maria de Jesus that presents accounts of her life and denunciations of social and economic inequality. To do so, we will use, to think about memory, the studies of Evaristo (2008); Halbwachs (1990); Izquierdo (2018); Pollak (1992) and Ribeiro Vetch (2010). We bring the issue of ancestry to the debate through discussions by theorists such as Matheus Gato (2020); Leda Martins (2021), Oliveira (2007); and regarding the author's biography, we will turn to Farias (2017), among other theorists. We also emphasize that the themes of memory and ancestry regarding the Afro-Brazilian community are some important discursive elements that characterize the richness of the work, allowing the reader to establish a critical look at the autobiographical narrative of Carolina Maria de Jesus.

This article considers the fugitive slave narrative as an important episode in the history of the book. It notes the multiple editions to which many of these books ran, and the difficulty of determining a comprehensive bibliographic record of publication. We establish this bibliographic record for Moses Roper's autobiography, Narrative of the Adventures and Escape of Moses Roper from American Slavery , whose sixteen editions were published between 1837 and 1849 in English and Welsh, in what the article identifies as six phases of publication. The article argues for the documentary importance of the paratextual material and visual imagery folded into each edition as extensions of the autobiographical record and, therefore, moments of historical redefinition that respond to the material, economic, social, and cultural conditions of production. This includes the capacity of Black writing to establish spheres of Atlantic print culture other than Anglophone. The article shows that the bibliographic surfeit of nineteenth-century Black writing exemplified by Roper's work provides an untapped biographical resource in which important clues to the biographies of their authors, and of their families in slavery and in freedom, lie hidden in plain sight. Bibliographic attention to Roper's work therefore reveals the novel ways in which the book was systematized as a form of archival practice at a time when it was necessary to travel light, and the public sphere provided one of the few hopes of establishing a durable record of the author's personal and family history.

Padoł's book offers a valuable understanding of Rodziewicz's life and work, embracing the complexities of the historical context and avoiding simplistic judgments. [Extracted from the article]

Intellectual biography is not merely a journalistic account of the events in the life of a historical personality or a person of importance to today's society On the contrary, an intellectual biography has to do with what the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel called the spirit of the times. This type of biography enables its author and readers to understand not only the actions and positions of an individual but also the general spirit of the society's life at different times. An intellectual biography is not a history of ideas, since ideas and public thoughts are only a pretext for the author of an intellectual biography to consider both the facts of the lives of the authors of those ideas and their interpretations. The author of an intellectual biography does not deal with problems in the same way as the historian of philosophy, who tends to analyze ideas, theories and systems of thought as a reality distant in time.

"Aemilia Lanyer as Shakespeare's Co-author" by Mark Bradbeer explores the authorial and biographical connections between Aemilia Lanyer and William Shakespeare. Bradbeer argues that Lanyer was a hidden female co-author of Shakespeare and suggests that she published works under pen names such as William Shakespeare, George Wilkins, John Day, and Henry Willobie. The book presents circumstantial historical evidence and close readings of Lanyer's and Shakespeare's works to support this argument. While the volume raises interesting questions, it relies on tenuous possibilities and does not fully acknowledge its limitations, making its assertions less plausible. [Extracted from the article]

There exists a sharp divide amongst literary scholars about whether or not Michel Houellebecq's works reflect aspects of the living author's opinions and biography. In a new analysis of Houellebecq's creative practice, this article seeks to avoid the pitfalls to which either side of the debate is prone by considering his works as expressions of 'the possible' and, in particular, as explorations of the 'possibilities' within his own life. Houellebecq has himself explained the creative process through which his protagonists come into being in terms of the counterfactual and the possible—'j'ai pris un évènement réel de ma vie et je me suis demandé qu'est-ce qui se serait passé dans ma vie si j'avais pris la décision opposée'—having previously affirmed that they represent 'Ce qu'on pourrait être et qu'on n'est pas'. This article therefore proposes that his fictional universe can be read as an exploration of Possible Worlds, that is to say, non-actualized worlds that may have eventuated if circumstances in reality had taken a different turn. By extension, his protagonists, including his self-portrayals (in his novels, films and other mediatic projects) are frequently potentialities of the author, his story worlds depicting what he 'might have become'.

"The Counterinsurgent Imagination: A New Intellectual History" by Joseph MacKay is a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of counterinsurgent thought and practice from the late 18th century to the present day. The book examines the work of influential counterinsurgent thinkers such as Johann Ewald, C.E. Callwell, David Galula, and the authors of Field Manual 3–24. MacKay argues that counterinsurgency is both counterrevolutionary and utopian, aiming to preserve the status quo while also seeking to impose a vision of political order. The author analyzes military texts within the context of global modernity and highlights the political underpinnings of these manuals. While the book provides a coherent account of counterinsurgency, it acknowledges the need to expand the historical field to include non-Western experiences. Overall, "The Counterinsurgent Imagination" is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in the complexities of counterinsurgent warfare. [Extracted from the article]

This article provides an overview of Elizabeth Winkler's book, "Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies," which explores the controversy surrounding the authorship of Shakespeare's works. Winkler examines arguments and evidence from skeptics and orthodox experts, ultimately finding merit in the theory that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, may have been the true author. The article also highlights Winkler's research on Mary Sidney Herbert, Countess of Pembroke, as a potential candidate for Shakespeare's authorship. Interviews with Shakespeare scholars reveal a lack of interest or knowledge in the authorship question, emphasizing the need for a broader consideration of alternative theories.

In this article we reveal the publishing ventures of Octav Minar (1886-1967), one of the Romanian authors that was disesteemed by fellow literary historians on account of his counterfeiting acts such as forgery, plagiarism, plastography or trick photography. Related to the book market of interbellum Romania, Minar was frequently branded as the “man-of-the-day” while his publications followed the logic of the “hand-in-glove” ephemerides Notwithstanding the challenges of the term “bestseller,” we turned to it so as to better describe Minar’s cultural products as multiple-layered offers, catering for both low-brow and high-brow readership and seizing signals from both public’s expectations (myth-making, melodrama, sensation, narrative simplicity) and enormous patrimonial gaps (editing the classics, writing the recent authors’ biographies). After a careful examination of Minar’s works, we reached the conclusion that he was an exceptional entrepreneur of letters and, nonetheless, a literary historian endowed with a “melodramatic imagination” as well as with a playwright’s and a genre novelist’s plume. A swift intuition of marketing basics helped him realize, quite rapidly, that historical facts and documents could be merchandized: this is how his impressive collection of Romanian writers’ miscellanea was wrapped as a commodity for the public. If the juridical and moral aspects of his literary ventures were put in between brackets, we would discover an astonishing and ingenious personality who glided between different speech registers, and popularized literary history as a genre belonging to the big tent of mass culture. We should thus take into consideration that the logic of the paraliterary circuit can also be applied to literary history. Boiled down to essentials, counting on citations and on minimal critical comments, spiced with images (facsimile and pictures), Minar’s literary histories had their share in speeding the process of cultural literacy of average Romanian readers and in institutionalizing literary ideas.

This paper deals with the function of mythology in the dramatic text by criticizing the structuralist Gilber-doran under the title of "Mythocritique ". The aim of this study is to achieve reading the text based on the author's biography in three stages of Semiotic analysis, Psychoanalytic Criticism and finally the Mythological study of the work, in addition to recognizing personal myths And to answer the question: What was the function of myths in the formation of the drama of Jean Cocteau and Gholamhossein Sa'edi? This research is based on assumptions. These writers have had a special look at the mythology of their culture, and in their works, particularly the two selected works of this research, they have made a semifaithful adaptation to these myths. By rereading Oedipus's mythology in plays, Cocteau has sought to show contemporary man before the political system and judiciary, and Sa'edi seeking to recreate the mythical story of Dahhak. The findings of this study indicate that the myth of Oedipus, which Jean Cocteau chose to show the disarmament of man against his own destiny, appears like his personal myth, and on the other hand, the myth of Jamshid, manifested as the enlightening myth in the story of Dahhak, can be regarded as the personal myth of Gholamhossein Sa'edi. Finally, with the comparative study of these two artists, they have reached common points such as using drama for enlightenment, sly view of myth, using fantasy literature and paying attention to the theme of death.
