Abstract

Since the extensive floods of 1966, inhabitants of Venice's laguna areas have come to share in, and reflect upon, concerns over pressing environmental problems. Evidence of damage caused by industrial pollution has contributed to the need to recover a common culture and establish a sense of continuity with "truly Venetian traditions." Based on ethnographic and archival data, this in-depth study of the Venetian island of Burano shows how its inhabitants develop their sense of a distinct identity on the basis of their notions of gender, honor and kinship relations, their common memories, their knowledge and love of their environment and their special skills in fishing and lace making.

Abstract

In this lively comedy of love and money in sixteenth-century Venice, Bassanio wants to impress the wealthy heiress Portia but lacks the necessary funds. He turns to his merchant friend, Antonio, who is forced to borrow from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. When Antonio's business falters, repayment becomes impossible-and by the terms of the loan agreement, Shylock is able to demand a pound of Antonio's flesh. Portia cleverly intervenes, and all ends well (except of course for Shylock).

Abstract

This is the first scholarly edition of Othello to give full attention to the work's bold treatment of racial themes. Shakespeare's decision to place a sympathetic black hero at the centre of his tragedy was unique in its time; but, as the lively introduction shows, the play's relationship to the history of racial thinking remains controversial. Designed to meet the needs of theatre professionals, as well as general readers, the edition includes an extensive performance history, a commentary illuminating the complexities of Shakespeare's language, and an indispensable appendix on the music in t

Abstract

À trop admirer aujourd'hui Venise pour son site, pour ses palais et ses églises, pour ses peintres, ses musiciens et ses écrivains, on risque de négliger l'extraordinaire puissance économique, politique et géopolitique que la première et la plus belle des villes marchandes du monde a très longtemps représentée. Si l'on situe au XIVe siècle l'apogée de la thalassocratie qu'elle a créée, la Méditerranée a dû compter avec elle dès le XIIe siècle jusqu'à l'approche de la chute finale à la fin du XVIIIe siècle : l'Adriatique et la mer Ionienne évidemment, les Balkans, le Levant, le Pont (mer Noire), et même la Méditerranée occidentale, une bonne partie des grandes îles (Chypre, Crète), mais aussi l'Europe alpine et la péninsule italienne en totalité !Sa fortune et sa gloire, cette ville incomparable les doit bien sûr au commerce, ici évoqué avec une précision et une force d'évocation exceptionnelles, et sous ses aspects innombrables de la construction des bateaux au financement des voyages, des marchandises transportées (épices, sel, coton, sucre...) aux contrats de travail des matelots et des rameurs, des tarifs douaniers, de la fiscalité et du crédit aux questions monétaires, de la formation et de la perpétuation d'une noblesse marchande aux compétitions politiques et aux entreprises guerrières, c'est la mer qui fait la vie de la Sérénissime.
