November 2007Anarchy in the UKR
by Serhij Zhadan, Claudia Dathe
»Vergiß die Politik, lies keine Zeitung, geh nicht ins Netz, verweigere deine Stimme« – so beginnt der »Linke Marsch«, ein Kapitel aus Serhij Zhadans zweitem Prosaband, dem ein Song der Sex Pistols, Anarchy in the UKR, als Motto dient. Zhadan ist dabei, sich zur stärksten Stimme der jungen ukrainischen Literatur zu entwickeln – und zum Antipoden von Juri Andruchowytsch. Auch Zhadans Ich-Erzähler ist ständig im Zug oder in bizarren Landschaften unterwegs. Doch es zieht ihn nicht zu den Ruinen der habsburgischen Vergangenheit, sondern in die Industriebrachen des Donbass im Südosten des Landes – an die Orte des von den Sowjets zerschlagenen Anarchokommunismus. Niemand scheint sich an Nestor Machno zu erinnern. Anarchismus, das gab es nie. Bis er im November 2004 in Charkiw, zu Füßen des »Fuck-Lenin-Denkmals«, wiederaufersteht.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2016Anarchy in Athens
An ethnography of militancy, emotions and violence
by Nicholas Apoifis, Uri Gordon
The battles between Athenian anarchists and the Greek state have received a high degree of media attention recently. But away from the intensity of street protests militants implement anarchist practices whose outcomes are far less visible. They feed the hungry and poor, protect migrants from fascist beatings and try to carve out an autonomous political, social and cultural space. Activists within the movement share politics centred on hostility to the capitalist state and all forms of domination, hierarchy and discrimination. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork among Athenian anarchists and anti-authoritarians, Anarchy in Athens unravels the internal complexities within this milieu and provides a better understanding of the forces that give the space its shape.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2020Spain in the nineteenth century
New essays on experiences of culture and society
by Andrew Ginger, Geraldine Lawless
The nineteenth-century Hispanic world was shattered to its core by war, civil war, and revolution. At the same time, it confronted a new period of European and North-American expansion and development. In these essays, authors explore major, dynamic ways that people in Spain envisaged how they would adapt and change, or simply continue as they were. Each chapter title begins with the words "How to...", and examines the ways in which Spaniards conceived or undertook major activities that shaped their lives. These range from telling the time to being a man. Adaptability, paradox, and inconsistency come to the fore in many of the essays. We find before us a human quest for opportunity and survival in a complex and changing world. This wide-ranging book contains chapters by leading scholars from the United States, United Kingdom, and Spain.

The ArtsJune 2017Terry Gilliam
by Peter Marks
Terry Gilliam presents a sustained examination of one of cinema's most challenging and lauded auteurs, proposing fresh ways of seeing Gilliam that go beyond reductive readings of him as a gifted but manic fantasist. Analysing Gilliam's work over nearly four decades, from the brilliant anarchy of his Monty Python animations through the nightmarish masterpiece Brazil to the provocative Gothic horror of Tideland, it critically examines the variety and richness of Gilliam's sometimes troubled but always provocative output. The book situates Gilliam within the competing cultural contexts of the British, European and American film industries, examining his regular struggles against aesthetic and commercial pressures. He emerges as a passionate, immensely creative director, whose work encompasses a dizzying array of material: anarchic satire, childhood and adult fantasy, dystopia, romantic comedy, surrealism, road movie, fairy tale and the Gothic. The book charts how Gilliam interweaves these genres and forms to create magical interfaces between reality and the illuminating, frightening but liberating worlds of the imagination. Scrutinising the neglected importance of literature and adaptation in Gilliam's career, this study also observes him through the lenses of auteurism, genre, performance, design and national culture, explaining how someone born in Minnesota and raised in California came to be one of British television and film's most compelling figures.
