This small book is based on the papers and discussions presented at the International Colloquium held on April 11, 2008 on the Nanterre campus of The University of Paris, where scholars and activists gathered to discuss "La guerre, la résistance, et le contre-résistance dans l'histoire contemporaine". In this short anthology, we introduce this subject by giving an historical perspective of instances of resistance and counter-resistance to wars and social struggles involving the United States ...

The term 'resistance', as it appears in the writings of Walter Benjamin, marks the attempt to think a politics that emerges out of a certain experience of history and time. This entry shows that Widerstand is conceived here principally as a resistance against the course of a catastrophic history — a desire for time to cease its flow and come to a standstill. ; Tom Vandeputte, 'Resistance', in Re-: An Errant Glossary , ed. by Christoph F.

Nos últimos cinquenta anos, a poesia portuguesa desenvolveu diferentes formas de resistência, reagindo não apenas a circunstâncias políticas, sociais e culturais muito diversificadas, mas também a um processo gradual de desvalorização do seu lugar e do seu papel no mundo contemporâneo. Este estudo pretende determinar e descrever diferentes modelos de resistência na (e da) poesia, tendo por referência algumas das poéticas que mais marcaram o panorama da poesia portuguesa, dos anos 60 até aos nossos dias. Obras de autores tão diferentes entre si como o são as de Carlos de Oliveira, Luiza Neto Jorge, Herberto Helder, António Franco Alexandre, João Miguel Fernandes Jorge, Adília Lopes, Ana Luísa Amaral, Manuel de Freitas ou José Miguel Silva têm em comum a atribuição à poesia de uma função de resistência. O que une estes autores? E o que os separa? A resposta a estas questões deverá permitir apurar uma noção de resistência na poesia e também a sua articulação com a noção de resistência da poesia.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: poesia, resistência, modernidade, contemporaneidade ; In the last fifty years Portuguese poetry developed different forms of resistance, reacting not only to political, social and cultural circumstances, but also to a gradual process of devaluation of its place and role in the contemporary world. This study aims at determining and describing different models of resistance in (and of) poetry, by considering some of the poetics that marked Portuguese poetry from the 1960's to our days. Authors as different as Carlos de Oliveira, Luiza Neto Jorge, Herberto Helder, António Franco Alexandre, João Miguel Fernandes Jorge, Adília Lopes, Ana Luísa Amaral, Manuel de Freitas or José Miguel Silva bear in common the fact that they invest poetry with a function of resistance. What brings these authors together? What separates them? The answer to these questions may provide an insight into the notion of resistance in poetry as well as its articulation with the notion of the resistance of poetry.KEYWORDS: poetry, resistance, modernity, contemporaneity

The current application of antibody-meditated targeted therapy against cancer has resulted in significant objective clinical responses, prolongation of survival and even cures. More than 20 mAbs have been approved for human use targeting a range of different cancers. However, a major drawback of mAb therapeutics is that a subset of patients does not initially respond and another initially responding subset develops resistance to further treatments. At the present time, there are no effective therapies for these subsets of cancer patients. The analyses of underlying mechanisms responsible for resistance are necessary to develop and generate new targeted therapies that overcome the resistance. Resistance to Immunotherapeutic Antibodies in Cancer: Strategies to Overcome Resistance is a timely volume that deals with various mechanisms of resistance to anti-cancer mAbs therapeutics as well as it deals with novel approaches to overcome resistance. The reviews in this volume are written by highly qualified, established and experienced leaders in the field of resistance to anti-cancer mAbs.

The origins of the concept of leaderless resistance in the US are examined. Rather than assert that such strategies emerged during the 1980s, it is contended that this terrorist method developed in conjunction with the National Socialist Liberation Front's (NSLF) emergence during the early 1970s, assessing the role of NSLF leader Joseph Tommasi in the formation of leaderless resistance. However, Ku Klux Klan member Louis R. Beam's (1992) writing on leaderless resistance provided a comprehensive definition of the concept. The subsequent adoption of leaderless resistance by the Odinist movement is discussed. The question of whether Timothy McVeigh's terrorist act in Oklahoma City constitutes an example of leaderless resistance or a call for mass mobilization is also pondered. J. W. Parker
