August 1988Gedichte für Städtebewohner
Herausgegeben und mit einem Nachwort von Franco Buono
by Bertolt Brecht, Franco Buono, Franco Buono
Seit den Anfängen der Massengesellschaft im 19. Jahrhundert ist sie nicht mehr aus der ›lyrischen‹ Produktion wegzudenken: die Stadt. Vervielfältigung wie Zerstörung menschlicher Beziehungen, Befreiung von (dörflicher) Naturbornierung und Zerstörung natürlicher Bedürfnisse, kurz: Faszination und Grauen sind die Pole dieses genuin ›modernen‹ Motivs. Seine raffiniertesten Versionen verschränken beides: entdecken die Trauer des Berauschenden großer Städte und die Faszination noch ihres Unmenschlichen. Auch Brechts Stadt-Gedichte sind, obwohl gewiß das Trostlose und Unmenschliche akzentuierend, nicht ohne eine solche dialektische Kehrseite. Denn ihre gesellschaftliche Hoffnung wie ihre didaktische Maxime ist, daß »die tiefste Verzweiflung die Bedingung für die Rettung« ist – so Franco Buono, der diese Auswahl zusammengestellt hat. Buonos Nachwort hebt das Besondere von Brechts Stadt-Gedichten hervor und skizziert die Geschichte des Stadt-Motivs in Brechts Werk.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2025Unhappy mothers
Women, motherhood and social change in postwar Britain
by Sarah Crook
In the decades following the Second World War, mothers' experiences of loneliness, boredom and unhappiness were increasingly widely acknowledged. The language of postnatal depression came to be attached to this, but mothers organised around their own discontent in ways that challenged the medical model. Unhappy mothers draws attention to the social, political, and professional contexts within which knowledge about unhappy mothering developed. Drawing upon an extensive range of archival material, the book addresses themes around expertise, feminism, and the value given to lived experience.

It recognises those who made and exhibited stained glass and demonstrates the long-lasting impact of the classification and modes of display at these events.

The ArtsJuly 2024Public information films
British government film units, 1928–52
by Alan Harding
In the years after the First World War the British government had to adapt its communication policy to connect with the new mass electorate. This book examines the government's own Film Units and their slow development of the Public Information Film. By reviewing the entire film catalogue produced by the Empire Marketing Board, the General Post Office and Crown Film Units, particular themes are identified which not only reflect the demands of the Units' sponsors but also the anxieties and concerns of the 1930s and 1940s. The impact of the films is explored through the contemporary reaction of the audiences to them. By the time the Crown Film Unit was closed in 1952 a style of Public Information Film had been developed and continued into the 1970s.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2025Global counter-terrorism
by Tahir Abbas, Sylvia I. Bergh, Sagnik Dutta
This collection aims to inaugurate a new direction in research on counterterrorism by exploring global connections - both in terms of practices and discourses, as well as shared ideas and epistemes - that animate counterterrorism practices. The chapters - grouped under the themes of postcoloniality and coloniality, and entanglements of the transnational and the local, and counterterrorism and right-wing extremism - are attentive to global connections and are mindful of the complexities of global historical processes that constitute the politics of counterterrorism. This book aims to bring together scholars studying counterterrorism in the global North and the global South to explore convergence and divergence in how counterterrorism policies function in a range of national and local contexts.

MedicineFebruary 2025Implementing a global health programme
Smallpox and Nepal
by Susan Heydon
Worldwide eradication of the devastating viral disease of smallpox was devised as a distant global policy, but success depended on implementing a global vaccination programme within nation states. How this was achieved remains relevant and topical for responding to today's global communicable disease challenges. The small and poor Himalayan kingdom of Nepal faced enormous geographical and infrastructure challenges if it was going to succeed in a nationwide vaccination programme. This book acknowledges the key role of the WHO but disrupts the top-down, centre-led standard narrative. Against a background of widespread internal political and social change, Nepal's programme was expanded, effectively decentralised and a vaccination strategy introduced that aligned with people's beliefs. Few foreign personnel were involved.

MedicineNovember 2019Migrant architects of the NHS
South Asian doctors and the reinvention of British general practice (1940s-1980s)
by Julian Simpson, Keir Waddington
Migrant architects of the NHS draws on forty-five oral history interviews and extensive archival research to offer a radical reappraisal of how the National Health Service was made. It tells the story of migrant South Asian doctors who became general practitioners in the NHS. Imperial legacies, professional discrimination and an exodus of UK-trained doctors combined to direct these doctors towards work as GPs in some of the most deprived parts of the UK. In some areas, they made up over half of the general practitioner workforce. The NHS was structurally dependent on them and they shaped British society and medicine through their agency. Aimed at students and academics with interests in the history of immigration, immigration studies, the history of medicine, South Asian studies and oral history. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about how Empire and migration have contributed to making Britain what it is today.
