Sommario/riassunto |
|
When Alfred Kinsey's massive studies Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female appeared in 1948 and 1953, their detailed data spurred an unprecedented public discussion of the nation's sexual practices and ideologies. As they debated what |

|
behaviors were normal or average, abnormal or deviant, Cold War Americans also celebrated and scrutinized the state of their nation, relating apparent changes in sexuality to shifts in its political structure, economy, and people. American Sexual Character employs the studies and the myriad responses they evoked to examine national debates about sexuality, gender, and Americanness after World War II. Focusing on the mutual construction of postwar ideas about national identity and sexual life, this wide-ranging, shrewd, and lively analysis explores the many uses to which these sex surveys were put at a time of extreme anxiety about sexual behavior and its effects on the nation. Looking at real and perceived changes in masculinity, female sexuality, marriage, and homosexuality, Miriam G. Reumann develops the notion of "American sexual character," sexual patterns and attitudes that were understood to be uniquely American and to reflect contemporary transformations in politics, social life, gender roles, and culture. She considers how apparent shifts in sexual behavior shaped the nation's workplaces, homes, and families, and how these might be linked to racial and class differences. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Tra le pagine di una cronaca milanese del Trecento è sepolto un dettaglio apparentemente marginale: Galvano Fiamma, frate domenicano, menziona una terra sconosciuta chiamata "Marckalada", situata oltre la Groenlandia. Nessun viaggio oltremare, nessuna mappa: eppure, in quel nome si cela un'eco delle saghe islandesi che raccontano l'approdo di navigatori nordeuropei sulle coste americane, quasi cinquecento anni prima di Cristoforo Colombo. |
Quante Americhe? prende le mosse da questa attestazione per esplorare la questione della presenza europea nel nuovo continente prima della sua convenzionale "scoperta" nel 1492. Mettendo in dialogo fonti latine e norrene, reperti archeologici, falsi documentari e riscritture contemporanee, il volume indaga il rapporto sempre problematico fra memoria e invenzione, fra evento storico, fonte documentaria e interpretazione. Ne affiora l'immagine di un'America molteplice: luogo reale e immaginato, raccontato e rievocato, secondo visioni e necessità storiche mutevoli. [Testo dell'editore] |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Recent developments have increased questions about vulnerabilities in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEE) that are experiencing credit booms. This paper analyzes the role of foreign-owned banks in these credit booms. The results show that the CEE countries depend on foreign banks, and these foreign banks depend on interbank funding. Lending by foreign banks seems driven by economic growth and interest rate margins. This lending appears independent of economic but not financial conditions in the foreign bank's home country. |
