  •  
    The Kennan Institute and National Public Radio in the USA has established an online audio archive of Soviet and Russian history. "The archive consists of recordings dating back to the earliest years of the Soviet state. Included are the voices and speeches of key political figures, including Lenin, Kerensky, Kirov, Beria, Stalin, Gorbachev, and others. Among the recorded interviews are Anna Larina (Bukharin's widow); Valentin Berezhkov, Stalin's wartime interpreter; Yelena Bonner, Sakharov's widow; and Lev Pevsner, a survivor of the Leningrad Blockade. There is also on-the-scene recorded sound of many events in Soviet history, including: the Russian and American armies meeting at the Elbe; Stalin's funeral; the August 1991 coup against Gorbachev. [...] The material comes from Soviet and Russian sources, the NPR archives, the archives of the BBC, and individual donors. Some of the material is in Russian, some in English. "

Marighella: Objetivos das Ações de Guerrilha Urbana - 0 views

  •  
    O trecho do livro que irei comentar agora é bastante polêmico. Trata-se do Mini-manual do guerrilheiro urbano de Carlos Marighella. A extrema-direita freqüentemente usa trechos deste livro para mostrar o quanto eram violentas as ações armadas dos revolucionários que lutaram contra a ditadura militar no Brasil.

The English Emblem Book Project - 4 views

  •  
    The English Emblem Book Project of the Penn State University Libraries in Pennsylvania, USA, has digitized older form of texts, the emblem books, for the 16th to the 19th centuries. "An emblem book is a collection of images with adjoining text. In an emblem there is a dialog or tension between image and word. Emblems are frequently allegorical in theme. Emblem books are a form of text not altogether familiar to us today. An emblem book represents a particular kind of reading. Unlike today, the eye is not intended to move rapidly from page to page. The emblem is meant to arrest the sense, to lead into the text, to the richness of its associations. An emblem is something like a riddle, a "hieroglyph" in the Renaissance vocabulary -- what many readers considered to be a form of natural language."

comunistas - Terrorista de Oslo era de extrema direita branco loiro limpinho e cheirosinho - 1 views

  •  
    Acabei de assistir uma reportagem sobre o ataque terrorista de Oslo na Noruega. Ao contrário do que a mídia conservadora suspeitava ou, até mesmo, desejava o atentado não foi provocado por um terrorista islâmico fundamentalista. Mas o objetivo desse post não é defender o Islã e sim alertar para um fenômeno que vem crescendo no Brasil e pode ser visto mais claramente na internet: o crescimento de uma direita raivosa que usa técnicas importadas da direita americana do Tea Party.
