 | | | | | | Um oceano de lacunas. Revisando a historiografia e a história do espaço estratégico atlântico nos anos 1940 Ao cruzar a história das relações transatlânticas, da Segunda Guerra Mundial e da Guerra Fria através do exame das diferentes ambições civis e militares ligadas ao espaço insular atlântico português entre 1942 e 1948, este artigo tem como objetivo questionar as narrativas existentes sobre a formação de um novo espaço estratégico no oceano no período. Ao evitar o corte cronológico de 1945 como marco transformador ou ponto de partida para interesses cruzando-se em meio ao Atlântico, o artigo pretende lançar um novo olhar sobre rivalidades dissimuladas, mas perenes e consequentes, como a... | | | Nail Bezel and the Idea(l) of a University (2016) Inspired by a reading given on World Poetry Day (21 Mar. 2016), this piece celebrates Turkish academic/ poet Nail Bezel's ability to stimulate the imagination through one of the shortest poetic forms imaginable - the haiku. | | | Homa, Abbaye's Wife, in the Talmudic Narrative and in a Painting by Edward Hopper The story of Homa, Abbaye's wife, an the sudden burst of light from her sexy body, appears in the Babylonian Talmud Ketubot 65a.

The sampling was theoretical, selecting men who differed in age, income, and age and year of "coming out". Critical Discourse Analysis and masculinity theory were used as perspectives to analyze the data.

Their desire is an element that allows them to identify as... | | | The Woman Who Loved Those Yanks MMyers Since the early 1980s Maureen C. Meadows' 1948 semi-fictionalised memoir I Loved those Yanks! has been cited in popular and academic histories as primary evidence of how many young women perceived and 'desired' the thousands of American servicemen who passed through Australia during World War II. Meadows worked as a stenographer for the US Army at their Base Section Three Headquarters (Sommerville House) and I Loved those Yanks! is based on her diarised experiences of her time there.
