The Concept of Marriages of Convenience in EU Free Movement Law : EU and UK Perspectives /
:
Over the past two decades, EU Member States have regularly complained about the perceived abuse of EU law via marriages of convenience, allegedly contracted between mobile EU citizens and third-country nationals. During the pre-Brexit years, the UK had been voicing particularly strong concerns about the issue, which ultimately resulted in regulatory changes both at the EU and national level. In this book, Aleksandra Ancite-Jepifánova pursues two interrelated aims. First, she evaluates the compatibility of EU-level measures addressing marriages of convenience with EU free movement law by focusing on the Citizenship Directive. Second, she examines the regulation of the issue in UK law in so far as it concerns the residence rights of EU citizens and their family members, both pre-and post-Brexit. See Less

Groaning tears : ethical and dramatic aspects of suicide in Greek tragedy /
:
Groaning Tears examines suicide in Greek tragedy in light of the fifth-century ethical climate. No full-scale work has previously been devoted to this pervasive topic. The particular focus of identifying suicide as a response to the expectations of popular ethics and social demands makes it useful for scholars and students of drama, ethics and sociology. Chapter one establishes the ethical background of audiences in the fifth century while chapters two through five examine suicide in the context of whole plays based on motivational distinctions: to avoid disgrace and preserve an honorable reputation; to avoid further suffering; to end grief; and to sacrifice oneself for a greater good. The final chapter considers a drama of lighter tone that presents suicide in all of its ethical and theatrical aspects.

Das patristische Prinzip : eine Studie zur theologischen Bedeutung der Kirchenväter /
:
The patristic principle demands that theological quarrels be settled by resorting to the church fathers. This volume presents the first comprehensive reflexion on the historical evolution of the present crisis of this ancient theological principle. Focusing on the theory of the consensus quinquesaecularis , the author surveys the development of patristic authority from the 16th to the 20th centuries and relates it to other problems of the Church in modern times such as the crisis of tradition, the conflict between ecclesiastical authority and academic theology, and ecumenism. The concluding chapter tackles the question whether a renewal of the patristic principle is possible and feasible today.

La Carrière de Molière : Entre protecteurs et éditeurs /
:
A new interpretation of Molière's work, drawn from contemporary archival sources, showing for the first time how he shaped an independent career between the opposing pressures of aristocratic patrons and mercantile publishers. Exploiting the alternate roles of actor and courtier, he progressed from social success to artistic achievement but, to the dissatisfaction of his royal patrons, Molière put the priorities of his own authorial status before the notion of service at Court; important new bibliographical material illustrates his long war in defence of his authorial rights against a cartel of unscrupulous publishers. The six chapters of this absorbing study challenge the current orthodoxy of a programmatic ideology in Molière's work. Raising basic questions about the writer's perception of her/himself, and about the French cult of classicism, this work will interest all specialists of seventeenth-century French theatre and social history. Une carrière qui se définit lentement, cherchant un point d'équilibre entre les demandes opposées de ses protecteurs à la Cour d'une part et celles des éditeurs peu scrupuleux de la Communauté des libraires de l'autre. S'appuyant sur des sources d'époque, l'auteur présente une étude neuve qui éclaire pour la première fois un conflit d'intérêt majeur mais peu documenté dans la carrière de Molière. Ayant savamment exploité ses talents d'acteur et de courtisan afin d'atteindre les limites de son art, le chef de la troupe du Roi finit par affirmer des priorités indépendantes et peu appréciées à la Cour, celles de son propre statut d'auteur. Présentée en six chapitres, soulevant des questions fondamentales sur le statut de l'écrivain au 17e siècle et sur la nature même du classicisme (si mal compris en dehors de la France), cette étude intéressera tous les spécialistes du théâtre et de l'histoire sociale du 17e siècle français.
