The Palestine problem was one of the first conflicts the newly formed United Nations (UN) was obliged to contend with. Secretary-General Trygve Lie played an active part in the proceedings, and his consistent support for the partition plan and Israeli UN membership has led to charges of Zionist sympathies and that his actions were based on this personal political bias.

This article looks at the politics of shame in relation to the suppressed protests of December 2010 that challenged the re-election of Aliaksandr Lukashenka as president of Belarus (1994–present).

In 1935, a law on prescription-based sterilisation of ‘the idiot, the imbecile, and the mentally ill’ was passed by a majority in the Finnish parliament.

The cultural journal Tulenkantajat (The Fire Bearers, 1932-1939)

This essay follows the repatriation process and debate concerning the return of the Paracas textiles from the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, Sweden to the National Museum in Lima, Peru.

Through a comparative analysis of works by street artists Faile and Banksy, from both the street and the gallery, I make the point that the field of modern street art is not as homogenous as the media and the established art world often portray it. By differentiating between sub- and counter-cultural agents, I point out the span of social and ideological backgrounds within the street art culture a

While the painter is well known, the personality a
