Descubra o que o Pernalonga tem a ver com a cultura judaica popular neste artigo de Benjamin Ivry
"On Bugs
Bunny’s 80th birthday, how Jewish is that wascally wabbit anyway?" by Benjamin Ivry July 26, 2020
A voz original de Pernalonga (Bugs Bunny) era da grande personalidade do rádio Mel Blanc (1908-1989), de origem judaico-russa.
Além de vários detalhes históricos relacionados com o adorável personagem de animação, você também verá outros como a inspiração em personagem interpretado por Clark Gable roendo cenouras em "It Happened One Night" (1934).

A propósito, para os que ainda não entenderam a razão das grafias com 'w' nas palavras 'wabbit' (rabbit) e 'wascally' (rascally), ou seja o 'coelho malandro':
Trata-se de uma imitação de fala infantil do personagem Elmer Fudd que o persegue nos desenhos, o que podemos notar também no título deste outro artigo de Cindy Johnston também muito interessante sobre o assunto:

Wecognition of that Wascally Wabbit” Cindy Johnston July 27, 2006
Este outro artigo faz interessante reflexão sobre a busca da felicidade e a conexão com o icônico personagem de animação:

The Public and the Private in Aristotle's Political Philosophy
Excerto da descrição da obra dada pelo Amazon.com:
" ... Aristotle offers a conception of the private and its relationship to the public that suggests a remedy to the limitations of liberalism today, according to Judith A. Swanson. In this fresh and lucid interpretation of Aristotle's political philosophy, Swanson challenges the dominant view that he regards the private as a mere precondition to the public. She argues, rather, that for Aristotle private activity develops virtue and is thus essential both to individual freedom and happiness and to the well-being of the political order.
Swanson presents an innovative reading of The Politics which revises our understanding of Aristotle's political economy and his views on women and the family, slavery, and the relation between friendship and civic solidarity. ..."

Decadent Genealogies: The Rhetoric of Sickness from Baudelaire to D'Annunzio by Barbara Spackman
Descrição da obra no site:
"Barbara Spackman here examines the ways in which decadent writers adopted the language of physiological illness and alteration as a figure for psychic otherness. By means of an ideological and rhetorical analysis of scientific as well as literary texts, she shows how the rhetoric of sickness provided the male decadent writer with an alibi for the occupation and appropriation of the female body."

"What Is a Family? explores the histories of diverse households during the Tokugawa period in Japan (1603–1868). ..."
" ... The essays in this book draw on rich sources—population registers, legal documents, personal archives, and popular literature—to combine accounts of collective practices (such as the adoption of heirs) with intimate portraits of individual actors (such as a murderous wife). They highlight the variety and adaptability of households that, while shaped by a shared social order, do not conform to any stereotypical version of a Japanese family."

of Saint Martin: Legend and Ritual in Medieval Tours by Sharon Farmer
Trechos da descrição da obra no site:
"Sharon Farmer here investigates the ways in which three medieval communities—the town of Tours, the basilica of Saint-Martin there, and the abbey of Marmoutier nearby—all defined themselves through the cult of Saint Martin. ..."
" ... Since the basilica and the abbey differed in their spiritualities, structures, and external ties, the canons and monks elaborated and manipulated Martin's cult in quite different ways. Farmer shows how one saint's cult lent itself to these varying uses, and analyzes the strikingly dissimilar Martins that emerged. ..."
"... Farmer's rich blend of social history and hagiography will appeal to a wide range of medievalists, cultural anthropologists, religious historians, and urban historians."

“The
Oldest Vocation: Christian Motherhood in the Medieval West”
by Clarissa W.
Atkinson
Trechos da descrição da obra no site:
"According to an old story, a woman concealed her sex and ruled as pope for a few years in the ninth century. Pope Joan was not betrayed by a lover or discovered by an enemy; her downfall came when she went into labor during a papal procession through the streets of Rome. ..."
" ... After tracing the roots of medieval ideologies of motherhood in early Christianity, Clarissa W. Atkinson reconstructs the physiological assumptions underlying medieval notions about women's bodies and reproduction; inherited from Greek science and popularized through the practice of midwifery, these assumptions helped shape common beliefs about what mothers were. ..."
" ... She also offers a fascinating new perspective on the women saints of the later Middle Ages, many of whom were mothers; their lives and cults forged new relationships between maternity and holiness. The Oldest Vocation concludes where most histories of motherhood begin—in early modern Europe, when the family was institutionalized as a center of religious and social organization.
Anyone interested in the status of motherhood, or in women's history, the cultural history of the Middle Ages, or the history of religion will want to read this book."

Excertos da descrição
da obra pelo site:
“First published in 1792, A Vindication of the Rights
of Woman tackles many of the punitive patriarchal attitudes that dominated
eighteenth-century society. With warmth and passion, Mary Wollstonecraft urges
women to prioritize reason over emotion—a necessary step in building the
strength of character required to break free from male notions of female
fragility and foolishness.
Wollstonecraft
bases much of her argument in the case for women’s education. Without it, women
are merely men’s “slaves” and “playthings”—not the intelligent, rational
companions of a just and equal society. …”
