Sommario/riassunto

Small Acts of Disappearance describes the author’s affliction with an eating disorder which begins in university, and escalates into life-threatening anorexia over the next ten years. Fiona Wright is a highly regarded poet and critic, and her account of her illness is informed by a keen sense of its contradictions and deceptions, and by an awareness of the empowering effects of hunger, which is unsparing in its consideration of the author’s motives and actions.The essays offer perspectives on the eating disorder at different stages in Wright’s life: at university, where she finds herself in a radically different social world to the one she grew up in, in Sri Lanka as a fledgling journalist, in Germany as a young writer, in her hospital treatments back in Sydney. They combine travel writing, memoir and literary discussions of how writers like Christina Stead, Carmel Bird, Tim Winton, John Berryman and Louise Glück deal with anorexia and addiction; together with accounts of family life, the observation of detail and the humour which is so compelling in Wright’s poetry.

Sommario/riassunto

This scholarly work by Marco Antonio Fenocchio examines the legal concept of the right of habitation (habitatio) in ancient Roman law. It explores its historical development, legal interpretations, and applications within the broader framework of Roman jurisprudence. The book delves into the terminology, literary references, and legal texts, including the writings of notable Roman jurists such as Modestinus, Proculus, and Papinian. It also investigates the distinctions between habitation, usufruct, and other property rights, and provides a critical analysis of Justinian's legal reforms. Designed for legal historians, scholars, and students of Roman law, the book seeks to offer a comprehensive and updated examination of this nuanced legal institution.
