Holocaust, War and Transnational Memory: Testimony from Yugoslav and Post-Yugoslav Literature By Stijn Vervaet
2017 | 196 Pages | ISBN: 1472478754 | PDF | 5 MB
Until now, there has been little scholarly attention given to the ways in which Eastern European Holocaust fiction can contribute to current debates about transnational and transgenerational memory. Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav literary narratives about the Holocaust offer a particularly interesting case because time and again Holocaust memory is represented as intersecting with other stories of extreme violence: with the suffering of the non-Jewish South-Slav population during the Second World War, with the fate of victims of Stalinist terror, and with the victims of ethnic cleansing in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. This book examines the emergence and transformations of Holocaust memory in the socialist Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav eras. It discusses literary texts about the Holocaust by Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav writers, situating their oeuvre in the historical and discursive context in which it emerged and paying attention to its reception at the time. The book shows how in the writing of different generational groups (the survivor generation, the 1.5, and the second and third generations), the Holocaust is a motif for understanding the nature of extreme violence, locally and globally. The book offers comparative studies of several authors as well as readings of the work of individual writers. It uncovers forgotten authors and discusses internationally well-known and translated authors such as Danilo Kiš and David Albahari. By focusing on work by Jewish and non-Jewish authors of three generations, it sheds light on the ethical and aesthetical aspects of the transgenerational transmission of Holocaust memory in the Yugoslav context. As such, this book will appeal to both students and scholars of Holocaust studies, cultural memory studies, literary studies, cultural history, cultural sociology, Balkan studies, and Eastern European politics.

Heart Disease in Pregnancy: Complications and Management by Akmal El-Mazny
English | July 1, 2014 | ISBN: 1500329657 | 79 pages | EPUB | 0.15 Mb
Pregnancy makes profound changes in the cardiovascular system that have the potential to adversely affect maternal and fetal health, especially in the presence of underlying heart conditions. Valvular heart disease in pregnancy is relatively infrequent, and tends to have a favorable prognosis if the risks are appropriately managed. Patients with congenital heart disease were traditionally advised against pregnancy; however, as our understanding of the unique issues facing this population has improved, many of those limitations have been removed. The presence of cardiovascular disease in pregnant women poses a difficult clinical scenario in which the responsibility of the treating physician extends to the unborn fetus. Therefore, women with cardiovascular compromise due to cardiac disease need specialist input and careful pre-, peri-, and post-partum follow-up. I hope that this book will provide a comprehensive review of heart disease in pregnancy along with its complications and management, and that you will be able to apply this information to your professional practice.
