I remember Farm Center at Seabrook
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Sabina Slavic Woodward recalls how Charles Seabrook sent a representative to refugee camps in West Germany to recruit workers. Sabina's family signed up, and spent 10 days at sea. Many of the refugees were malnourished. During the first year at Seabrook, Sabina's family lived in Farm Center, which was a cramped living area that lacked privacy. Once her parents were able to gain more hours to earn more money, her family was able to move into a more suitable house. Tragically, in 1955, her older brother, Franz, drowned in a nearby lake. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
Development and the G20
No full textThis publication examines what role the G20 can play in international development.
Key findings:
Development is a key component of the G20, but there are concerns over the effectiveness of the current development agenda.
The criticism includes that the development agenda is too diffuse and mostly distant to the G20’s main activities.
But the G20 development agenda has made progress in some important areas, including increasing the resources of the international financial institutions, infrastructure, food security, financial inclusion and reducing the cost of remittances.
However development and global economic issues cannot be treated in isolation; development must be ‘mainstreamed’ and clearly seen as part of the G20’s core agenda.
To the extent that Australia can help strengthen the G20 when it assumes the chair in 2014, and make tangible progress in such areas as - economic growth, financial regulation, trade, financial inclusion, infrastructure and climate change financing – it can make a significant contribution to promoting development and reducing poverty.

Correspondence from Unknown to Mrs. Chas. Morton (Sabina Page Pemberton Morton)
No full textTyped and unsigned correspondence to Mrs. Chas. Morton (Sabina Page Pemberton Morton); first line reads: "My dear Mrs. Morton:/As I am needing the material loaned you, concerning the state of Washington, I will ask you to kindly send it by return mail." The author explains a mix-up that occurred in regard to their refusal to speak for a bill passed by the Federal Women's Equality Association [FWEA]. She explains that she is a member of the National Council of Women Voters and does not have time to join the FWEA, The Anthony League, or the group run by Miss Alice Paul (most likely the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage). She says that her refusal to speak for the FWEA was not a sign of "bad faith" and that she will support all of the previously mentioned groups when she has time to do so.Outgoing Correspondence from Dr. Clara W.

Sex versus survival: The life and ideas of Sabina Spielrein
No full textWho was Sabina Spielrein? Her dramatic life story is most famous for her notorious affair with Carl Jung, dramatised in the film A Dangerous Method starring Keira Knightley. Yet she was a woman who overcame family and psychiatric abuse to become an original thinker in the field of psychotherapy. This is the first biography to put her life and ideas at the centre of the story, and to examine Spielreins key role in the development of psychoanalysis and in the rift between Jung and Freud. Drawing on fresh research into Spielreins diaries, papers and correspondence, John Launer tells the story of a passionate woman who transformed herself from one of Jungs disturbed patients into a leading figure in Western psychology, then the Soviet intelligentsia, before losing her life in the Holocaust. At the heart of Sex Versus Survival is the gripping tale of Spielrein and Jungs tumultuous affair, which played such an important role in both of their lives and intellectual journeys. Launer shows how Spielreins overlooked ideas rejected by Jung and Freud, but substantially vindicated by later developments in psychology and evolutionary biology may represent the last and most important stage in the rediscovery of an extraordinary life
Staging the “new Helen” of Euripides: the ethos and ethnos of Lampito in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata.
No full textThe paper examines the theme of Helen’s regression to the stage of prenuptial imminence in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata (411 BCE), in dialogue with Euripides’ Helen, staged the previous year. Particular attention is therefore devoted to the exceptional characterization of Lampito as a comic alter ego of Euripides’ new and blameless Helen. The author thus investigates the political significance assumed—on the morrow of the Sicilian disaster and on the eve of the coup of the Four Hundred—by both the rehabilitation of Helen and the refunctionalization of the cliché, deeply rooted in the Athenian imagination, of the unrestrained boldness of Spartan maidens

Femminile/Maschile in famiglie marocchine: attribuire agency
No full textThe topic studied in this paper arose spontaneously during fieldwork: the Moroccan families that participated in the research talked about the differences between female and male roles without being prompted by the researcher. Thus the paper is an attempt to acknowledge and represent their own interest in the subject. In particular, the paper examines the representations of female and male roles constructed in the narrations of the family’s «foundation» during the interviews. Family histories – differently told by males and females – were analyzed in the light of the concept of agency in order to explore how social responsibility and the capacity to act in the social sphere were differently
attributed to men and women. The comparison between family histories and family practices as observed by the author shows some similarities in the construction of female and male agency. Finally the paper discusses how the concept of agency is a useful analytical tool for studying the relationship
