World Stages, local audiences argues that the forms of intimacy and identification that come from being part of the public of a local performance, provide a potential model for rethinking our roles as world citizens. Using his own experience of recent theatrical practice in Vancouver as a starting point, Dickinson maps the spaces of connection and contestation, the flows of sentiment and social responsibility, produced by different communities in response to global sports spectacles. He also analyses how such topics are taken up in the work of playwrights, conceptual, installation, and performance artists like Ai Weiwei, and Rebecca Belmore. In so doing, Dickinson makes an original contribution to the emerging discourse on live art and 'livability' by examining not only the geographical and historical affiliations between different sites of performance, but also the - at times - radical new social bonds created by audiences witness to those performances. ;

The films of Thorold Dickinson (1903-1984), now being rediscovered, engage with major issues including national identity, the post-colonial world, and political violence - and they also show a rare mastery of style, a thrilling eroticism, a preoccupation with the psychology of betrayal. But the director of Gaslight, The Next of Kin and The Queen of Spades was also an editor, documentarist, trade unionist, film producer (for the British Army and the UN), pioneering academic and controversialist. His adventurous and truly global involvement in film took him to Paris in the heyday of silent cinema in the 1920s, to Stalin's USSR in 1937, to the Spanish Civil War, to Africa, India, Israel and America. This book gives a lively, multi-angled account of Dickinson's works, life and times, conveying a sense of his own voice and fascinating character. It includes a richly detailed introduction, a film-by-film discussion of Dickinson with Scorsese, vivid personal memoirs of the director, a dossier of Dickinson's original writings and interviews from 1924 to 1973 (some never previously published), critical essays on all the feature films, and a ground-breaking reference section. The book draws on extensive archival research and close consultation with those who knew Dickinson well. Contributors include: Martin Scorsese, Gavin Millar, Lutz Becker, Charles Barr, Laura Marcus, Kevin Jackson, Kevin Gough-Yates, Ian Christie, Gregory Dart, Hillel Tryster, Janet Moat. ;

Die Lyrik wird heftig denunziert wie keine andere Kunstform sonst. Sogar die Dichter:innen selbst scheinen sie zu missbilligen »Darin, dass sie Lyrik hassen, sind sich viel mehr Menschen einig, als sich darüber einigen können, was Lyrik überhaupt ist.«, schreibt Ben Lerner. »Ich mag sie auch nicht, habe aber mein Leben weitgehend um sie herum organisiert und empfinde das nicht als Widerspruch, weil Gedichte und der Hass auf die Lyrik für mich unentwirrbar miteinander verknüpft sind.« Auf welche Weise sie miteinander verknüpft sind, das wird hier in einem straffen Panorama skizziert. Ben Lerner nimmt die Argumente der größten Lyrikfeinde in Augenschein, er lässt die besten und die schlechtesten Dichter:innen zu Wort kommen und erschließt uns beiläufig neuartige Perspektiven auf die Werke von Keats, Dickinson, McGonagall, Whitman und etlichen anderen. Und dabei versucht er, den grundsätzlich ehrenwerten Anspruch im Kern eines jeden Gedichts zu veranschaulichen – an dem die wahrhaft guten und die sagenhaft schlechten letztlich gleichermaßen scheitern. Hassen wir die Lyrik, weil wir sie nicht verstehen? Oder hassen wir die Lyrik, weil sie Lyrik ist? Ben Lerner hat die originelle, aufschluss- und voltenreiche Verteidigung einer Gattung geschrieben, die seit 2500 Jahren inkriminiert wird.

Postmodern, postcolonial and post-truth are broadly used terms. But where do they come from? When and why did the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms emerge? And who exactly were the 'post boys' responsible for this? Post-everything examines why post-Christian, post-industrial and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated, not only among academics, but also in the popular press. It delves into the historical roots of postmodern and poststructuralist, while also subjecting more recent post-constructions (posthumanist, postfeminist) to critical scrutiny. This study is the first to offer a comprehensive history of post-concepts. In tracing how these concepts found their way into a broad range of genres and disciplines, Post-everything contributes to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.

A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.
