Although, the UN Security Council is traditionally bestowed with the powers to make decisions about when and where to intervene, but its legitimacy has recently been called to question. Its history can be at best described as inconsistent and erratic and at worse a clear example of the influence of National Interest in many of its consideration of whose lives and which people are worth saving. This work hopes to answer the question of who should decide and how a measure of consistency can be brought to the history of humanitarian interventions.

This paper proposes an analysis of Tom Stoppard’s play "Travesties" in light of the concept of estrangement, developed by the Russian literary scholar Viktor Shklovsky. The first section of the essay will describe the three dominant elements in Travesties: foreign/estranged language, intertextuality, and theatricality. The second section will consider the juxtaposition of historical and fictional events as a key factor for estrangement, and it will also examine the presence of a character-narrator on stage, and the relation this characters bears to the estranging factors already mentioned.
Key words: Tom Stoppard; Travesties; Viktor Shklovsky; James Joyce; Oscar Wilde; estrangement; intertextuality; theatricality.

A research conducted by Fáilte Ireland in 2005, the main office of the Irish tourism industry, revealed that a large majority of those visiting the country give great importance to the historical and cultural heritage of the island at the time of choosing Ireland as a destination.
The exploitation of Irish heritage has been for the last two decades a constant asset to attract tourists and, in this area, Irish literature has also played an important role.
In this article we will discuss, firstly, some of the factors that have made the Irish culture industry, especially in the literary world, a world leader in wealth management and tourism. The second section, we will deepen in the management and investment of several private and public organizations in the field of cultural management and the work of James Joyce.

This essay, while acknowledging the importance of this relationship across the art forms, considers the importance of Flaubert’s development of cinematographic techniques of writing as a crucial literary antecedent to Joyce’s adoption and elaboration of such techniques. The essay considers Flaubert and Joyce’s often analogous views of vision and photography and examines Joyce’s attitudes to the cinema before looking in detail at examples from both authors’ works which suggest an extensive technical intertextuality between the two oeuvres.

The present text brings and comments on a series of dichotomies and conflicts that ravaged the English language modernists. The context of creation of their works is introduced
and external conflicts are highlighted, such as the world wars and their social, cultural and artistic implications, so as to reach the internal conflicts, those motivated by the anxiety and the disorientation that stemmed from that turbulent era and that generated a number of injurious observations among writers, i.e., the invectives which are the focus of this investigation. Based on oral and printed documents, this sagacious, oftentimes unhealthy, competition explored by Anglophone Modernists the likes of Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, T. S. Eliot and William Carlos Williams, among others, is presented through the search of a balance between historical-scientific rigor and good humor.
