December 1987Allegorien des Lesens
by Paul Man, Werner Hamacher, Peter Krumme, Werner Hamacher
Im Falle Paul de Mans ist die begriffliche Charakterisierung seines Vorgehens zusätzlich erschwert dadurch, daß die Theorie nie losgelöst von den Texten, an denen sie gewonnen wird, betrachtet werden kann.

June 1993Die Ideologie des Ästhetischen
by Paul Man, Karl Heinz Bohrer, Christoph Menke, Jürgen Blasius, Christoph Menke
Als Paul de Man 1983 starb, war er der wohl bekannteste und einflußreichste Vertreter einer Richtung der Literaturkritik und ihrer Theore, die allgemein als »dekonstruktiv« bezeichnet wird. Kennzeichnend für diese Richtung ist eine erneute Konzentration auf die innere Verfaßtheit der literarischen Texte. Eine erste Auswahl dieser methodisch vorbildlich wie brillant geschriebenen Texte ist 1988 unter dem Titel »Allegorien des Lesens« in der edition suhrkamp erschienen. Die vorliegende Auswahl konzentriert sich auf die methodologischen und theoretischen Prämissen dieses Vorhabens, wie sie die Abhandlungen über die Zeitlichkeit der Literatur, über Shelley und über die Autobiographie deutlich machen. Sich auf die immanente Verfaßtheit und Bewegung von Texten einzulassen ist nach de Man kein selbstzweckhaftes, folgenloses Unternehmen. De Man beansprucht vielmehr für seine »Rückkehr zur Philologie« eine allgemeine Bedeutung; die Literaturkritik ist zugleich philosophische und politische Kritik. Damit ist der zweite Schwerpunkt dieser Auswahl bezeichnet. De Man erläutert diese These zum einen in kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit der Philosophie Jacques Derridas. Zum anderen zeigt er an zentralen Texten der ästhetischen Tradition, an Kant und Hegel, daß ihr falsches – »ideologisches« – Verständnis literarischer Texte unter der Kategorie des »Ästhetischen« ebenso weitreichende philosophische wie politische Konsequenzen hat.

June 2017Frauen der 1920er Jahre
Glamour, Stil und Avantgarde
by Thomas Bleitner, Man Ray, Edward Steichen, Claude Cahun, Dora Kallmus
In den 1920er Jahren war vieles wagemutiger, unkonventioneller und exzessiver als heute. Keine Zeit hat so viel Glamour, Stil und Avantgarde hervorgebracht, und eine nie gekannte Experimentierlust erobert Bühnen, Kunstateliers, den Sport und so manches Schlafzimmer. Frauen machen den Flug- und Führerschein, sie greifen zur Filmkamera, sie designen eine neue Mode, sie rauchen und trinken und tanzen fröhlich am Abgrund. Thomas Bleitner stellt in diesem opulent bebilderten Band legendäre und unvergleichliche Frauen aus Film, Fotografie, Sport, Mode und Kunst vor, die in den 1920er Jahren in Berlin, Paris und New York alte Rollenmuster auf den Kopf stellten und damit für Furore sorgten. »Als die Frauen begannen, ihre Röcke zu kürzen und ihre Haare zu stutzen, war dies der größte Umbruch in der Geschichte der Mode der letzten hundert Jahre.« New York Vogue vom 1. Juli 1928

April 2002Performanz
Zwischen Sprachphilosophie und Kulturwissenschaften
by Uwe Wirth, John L. Austin, John R. Searle, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Wolfgang Iser, Paul Man, Jürgen Habermas, Erving Goffman, Victor Turner, Stanley J. Tambiah, Umberto Eco, Erika Fischer-Lichte, Judith Butler, Sybille Krämer, Doris Kolesch, Annette Jael Lehmann, Niels Werber, Eckhard Schumacher, Uwe Wirth, Uwe Wirth
Nach seinem Erfinder, dem Sprachphilosophen John L. Austin, ist Performanz »ein neues Wort und ein garstiges Wort, und vielleicht hat es auch keine sonderlich großartige Bedeutung«. Mittlerweile findet dieser Begriff jedoch in unterschiedlichster Bedeutung Anwendung in den Kulturwissenschaften, von der Philosophie über die Linguistik, Soziologie, Anthropologie, Ethnologie, Theaterwissenschaft, Literaturtheorie, Medientheorie bis hin zu den Gender Studies. Der Band versammelt die Grundlagentexte von Austin bis Butler und zeigt in Originalbeiträgen Perspektiven der aktuellen Performanzdebatte auf.

January 2023Diagnosis Digital Disaster
Can the healthcare system still be saved?
by Peter Schaar
— Ways out of the digital disaster — For healthcare professionals and informed patients Modern information technologies can and should contribute to improving the quality and transparency of medical care and making healthcare more economical – and all for the benefit and well-being of patients. Well, that would be the noble approach. All the talk about health insurance cards, telematics infrastructure and electronic patient files stirs up emotions. Peter Schaar, long-standing Federal Data Protection Commissioner, brings light to the dark data and health thicket. Why are innovations in the healthcare sector met with great scepticism by many stakeholders? How can we speed up the development and implementation of meaningful ITsupported solutions? What role does the narrow, small-scale regulatory framework play – not only, but also in data protection?

2022aporello: Human Parasites
by Christine Bender-Leitzig, Dr. Reiner Pospischil
Infestation with parasites usually causes revulsion in those affected and many infections are kept secret through shame. In recent times there has also been a rise in non-native parasites, which often remain undetected. This book gives an overview of the most significant human parasites as well as their - prevalence - symptoms - treatment possibilities. The text is accompanied by illustrations that help when giving everyday advice. Practical icons show at a glance when, for example, the authorities must be notified and what special things need to be considered. Highly concentrated knowledge in an instant? That’s aporello!

Sociology: death & dyingMay 2017Human remains and identification
Mass violence, genocide, and the ‘forensic turn’
by Series edited by Jean-Marc Dreyfus, Élisabeth Anstett. Edited by Élisabeth Anstett, Jean-Marc Dreyfus
Human remains and identification presents a pioneering investigation into the practices and methodologies used in the search for and exhumation of dead bodies resulting from mass violence. Previously absent from forensic debate, social scientists and historians here confront historical and contemporary exhumations with the application of social context to create an innovative and interdisciplinary dialogue, enlightening the political, social and legal aspects of mass crime and its aftermaths. Through a ground-breaking selection of international case studies, Human remains and identification argues that the emergence of new technologies to facilitate the identification of dead bodies has led to a "forensic turn", normalising exhumations as a method of dealing with human remains en masse. However, are these exhumations always made for legitimate reasons? Multidisciplinary in scope, this book will appeal to readers interested in understanding this crucial phase of mass violence's aftermath, including researchers in history, anthropology, sociology, forensic science, law, politics and modern warfare. The research program leading to this publication has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement n° 283-617.

Critical theory and human rights
From compassion to coercion
by David McGrogan
This book describes how human rights have given rise to a vision of benevolent governance that, if fully realised, would be antithetical to individual freedom. It describes human rights' evolution into a grand but nebulous project, rooted in compassion, with the overarching aim of improving universal welfare by defining the conditions of human well-being and imposing obligations on the state and other actors to realise them. This gives rise to a form of managerialism, preoccupied with measuring and improving the 'human rights performance' of the state, businesses and so on. The ultimate result is the 'governmentalisation' of a pastoral form of global human rights governance, in which power is exercised for the general good, moulded by a complex regulatory sphere which shapes the field of action for the individual at every turn. This, unsurprisingly, does not appeal to rights-holders themselves.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 1999The Maid's Tragedy
Beaumont and Fletcher
by David Bevington, T. W. Craik, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
Generally acknowledged to be the most powerful of Beaumont and Fletcher's plays and frequently performed by the best actors of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, The Maid's Tragedy (1610-11) disappeared from the stage (except in a much-altered and very successful Victorian adaptation) until recent years, when major companies have rediscovered its appeal. In this fully annotated edition, the editor has given careful attention to the sense of the lines, the stage action and the verse. Many new emendations of textual errors, as well as improvements in stage directions and lineation, are either introduced or proposed. The introduction explores Beaumont and Fletcher's use of the three known sources (two of them previously neglected) for incidents in the play, gives the fullest available account of its stage history, and provides a sympathetic interpretation of the play as a romantic tragedy. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2009Beyond The Spanish Tragedy
A study of the works of Thomas Kyd
by Lukas Erne, Paul Edmondson, Martin White
Kyd is arguably Shakespeare's most important tragic predecessor. Brilliantly fusing the drama of the academic and popular traditions, Thomas Kyd's plays are of central importance for understanding how the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries came about. Called 'an extraordinary dramatic . genius' by T.S. Eliot, Thomas Kyd invented the revenge tragedy genre that culminated in Shakespeare's Hamlet some twelve years later. In this study, The Spanish Tragedy - the most popular of all plays on the English Renaissance stage - receives the extensive scholarly and critical treatment it deserves, including a full reception and modern stage history. Yet as Erne shows, Thomas Kyd is much more than the author of a single masterpiece. Don Horatio (partly extant in The First Part of Hieronimo), the lost early Hamlet, Soliman and Perseda, and Cornelia all belong to what emerges in this work as a coherent dramatic oeuvre. This groundbreaking study is now in paperback. ;

Humanitarianism, empire and transnationalism, 1760-1995
Selective humanity in the Anglophone world
by Joy Damousi, Trevor Burnard, Alan Lester
This is the first book to examine the shifting relationship between humanitarianism and the expansion, consolidation and postcolonial transformation of the Anglophone world across three centuries, from the antislavery campaign of the late eighteenth century to the role of NGOs balancing humanitarianism and human rights in the late twentieth century. Contributors explore the trade-offs between humane concern and the altered context of colonial and postcolonial realpolitik. They also showcase an array of methodologies and sources with which to explore the relationship between humanitarianism and colonialism. These range from the biography of material objects to interviews as well as more conventional archival enquiry. They also include work with and for Indigenous people whose family histories have been defined in large part by 'humanitarian' interventions.
