March 2024Vollständige Überlieferung von den Ufern der Flüsse
Ein Klassiker der chinesischen Literatur – erstmals vollständig übersetzt
by Rainald Simon, Rainald Simon, Rainald Simon
Dies ist die erste originalgetreue, ungekürzte Übersetzung der Vollständigen Überlieferung von den Ufern der Flüsse (水滸全傳), einem der vier großen Klassiker der alten chinesischen Literatur. Der Roman spielt zur Zeit der Sòng-Dynastie (960-1279). 107 Männer und eine Frau um ihren Anführer Sòng Jiāng bilden den verschworenen Bund von den »Flachseen am Brückenberg«, in dem sie sich gegen Korruption und krasse Willkür der Herrschenden zur Wehr setzen. Ihr Leitstern sind dabei traditionelle Werte des Neokonfuzianismus wie der grundsätzlich wohlwollende und fürsorgliche Umgang aller Menschen miteinander – was erbitterte kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen zu deren Durchsetzung nicht ausschließt. Der Roman besticht durch seinen Handlungs- und Personenreichtum und die naturalistischen Schilderungen gesellschaftlicher Umstände während der Sòng und ausgehenden Yuán-Zeit, wie Ess- und Trinkkultur, urbanes Leben, Wohnung, Familienbeziehungen, aber auch Kriegsführung, das Geschlechterverhältnis, Hierarchien, Gepflogenheiten in den Gefängnissen. Lyrische Passagen von mitreißender Bildkraft beschwören Natureindrücke oder vergegenwärtigen die zentrale Bedeutung von Kleidung als Ausdruck von Schönheit und Rang. Auf rund 2000 Seiten ist hier der chinesische Originaltext so getreu wie möglich und dabei gut lesbar übertragen. Sachkundige Kommentare und umfassende Erläuterungen des gesamten historischen, daoistischen, buddhistischen, neokonfuzianischen Kontextes und Bildreservoirs ergänzen die weitverzweigte Handlung.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2012Unstable universalities
Poststructuralism and radical politics
by Saul Newman, Simon Tormey, Jon Simons, Chantal Hamil
Unstable universalities, available for the first time in paperback, examines the theme of universality and its place in radical political theory. Saul Newman argues that both Marxist politics of class struggle and the postmodern politics of difference have reached their historical and political limits, and that what is needed is a new approach to universality, a new way of thinking about collective politics. By exploring various themes and ideas within poststructuralist and post-Marxist theory, the book develops a new and original approach to universality - one that has important implications for politics today, particularly on questions of power, subjectivity, ethics and democracy. In so doing, it engages in debates with thinkers such as Laclau, Zizek, Badiou and Rancière over the future of radical politics. It also applies important theoretical insights to contemporary events such as the emergence of the anti-globalisation movement, the 'war on terrorism', the rise of anti-immigrant racism, and the nihilistic violence which lurks at the margins of the political. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2015Performing Englishness
Identity and politics in a contemporary folk resurgence
by Trish Winter, Alexander Smith, Simon Keegan-Phipps
Now available in paperback, Performing Englishness examines the growth in popularity and profile of the English folk arts in the first decade of the twenty-first century. In the only study of its kind, the authors explore how the folk resurgence speaks to a broader explosion of interest in the subject of English national and cultural identity. Combining approaches from British cultural studies and ethnomusicology, the book draws on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews with central figures of the resurgence and close analysis of music and dance as well as visual and discursive sources. Its presentation of the English case study calls for a rethinking of concepts such as revival and indigeneity. It will be of interest to students and scholars in cultural studies, ethnomusicology and related disciplines. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2015Governing Europe's spaces
European Union re-imagined
by Dimitris Papadimitriou, Caitriona Carter, Martin Lawn, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
What do we imagine when we imagine Europe and the European Union? To what extent is our understanding of the EU - of its development, its policies and its working processes - shaped by unacknowledged assumptions about what Europe really is? The book constructs a case for re-imagining Europe - not as an entity in Brussels or a series of fixed relations - but as a simultaneously real and imagined space of action which exists to the extent that Europeans and others act in and on it. This Europe is constantly being made in particular spaces, through specific actor struggles, whose interconnections are often ill-defined. We ask how do those concerned with building Europe, with extending and elaborating the EU, think of where they are and what they are doing? The book captures Europeans in the process of making Europe: of performing, interpreting, modelling, referencing, consulting, measuring and de-politicising Europe. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2008Time and world politics
Thinking the present
by Kimberly Hutchings, Simon Tormey, Jon Simons
This book offers the first authoritative guide to assumptions about time in theories of contemporary world politics. It demonstrates how predominant theories of the international or global 'present' are affected by temporal assumptions, grounded in western political thought, that fundamentally shape what we can and cannot know about world politics today. The first part of the book traces the philosophical roots of assumptions about time in contemporary political theory. The second part examines contemporary theories of world politics, including liberal and realist International Relations theories and the work of Habermas, Hardt and Negri, Virilio and Agamben. In each case, it is argued, assumptions about political time ensure the identification of the particular temporality of western experience with the political temporality of the world as such and put the theorist in the unsustainable position of holding the key to the direction of world history. In the final chapter, the book draws on postcolonial and feminist thinking, and the philosophical accounts of political time in the work of Derrida and Deleuze, to develop a new 'untimely' way of thinking about time in world politics. ;

David Simon's American City
by Mikkel Jensen
This book examines the television serials created by influential showrunner David Simon. The book argues that Simon's main theme is the state of the contemporary American city and that all of his serials (barring one about the Iraq War) explore different facets of the metropolis. Each series offers distinctly different visions of the American city, but taken together they represent a sustained and intricate exploration of urban problems in modern America. From deindustrialisation in The Wire and residential segregation in Show Me a Hero to post-Katrina New Orleans in Treme and the transformation of the urban core in The Deuce, David Simon's American city traces the urban through-line in Simon's body of work. Based on sustained analysis of these serials and their engagement with contemporary politics and culture, David Simon's American city offers a compelling examination of one of television's most arresting voices.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2014EU enlargement, the clash of capitalisms and the European social dimension
by Paul Copeland, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
At the heart of the European integration process is the political economy debate over whether the EU should be a market-making project, or if it should combine this with integration in employment and social policy. What has been the impact of the 2004 and 2007 rounds of enlargement upon the political economy of European integration? EU enlargement, the clash of capitalisms and the European social dimension analyses the impact of the 2004 and 2007 enlargements upon the politics of European integration within EU employment and social policy. This book analyses the main policy negotiations in the field and analyses the political positions and contributions of the Central and Eastern European Member States. Through analyses of the negotiations of the Services Directive, the revision of the Working Time Directive and the Europe 2020 poverty target, the book argues that the addition of the Central and Eastern European states has strengthened liberal forces at the EU level and undermined integration with EU employment and social policy. ;
