Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2020Imagining Caribbean womanhood
Race, nation and beauty competitions, 1929–70
by Pamela Sharpe, Rochelle Rowe, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie
Over fifty years after Jamaican and Trinidadian independence, Imagining Caribbean womanhood examines the links between beauty and politics in the Anglophone Caribbean, providing a first cultural history of Caribbean beauty competitions, spanning from Kingston to London. It traces the origins and transformation of female beauty contests in the British Caribbean from 1929 to 1970, through the development of cultural nationalism, race-conscious politics and decolonisation. The beauty contest, a seemingly marginal phenomenon, is used to illuminate the persistence of racial supremacy, the advance of consumer culture and the negotiation of race and nation through the idealised performance of cultured, modern beauty. Modern Caribbean femininity was intended to be politically functional but also commercially viable and subtly eroticised.

Health & Personal DevelopmentMindfulness for Adults with Autism
A Handbook for Therapists and Adults with ASD
by Annelies Spek
This book discusses a new type of therapy that can help people with autism to be less overburdened, let go of recurrent thoughts, and get better at recognizing physical signs of stress. Mindfulness includes meditation techniques that are derived from Buddhism and that do not require much communication or insight in thoughts and feelings. This is especially beneficial for people with autism, for whom communication and social interaction can be a challenge. After a clear introduction to what mindfulness is, each chapter of this book offers a meditation exercise. For each meditation exercise useful tips and tricks are given, as well as potential pitfalls that relate directly to autism. Mindfulness for adults with autism is the first treatment for adults with autism that has proven to be effective. Because of its readability and the beautiful illustrations, this book is highly recommended for both therapists and people with autism.

August 2016Lulu – Die Büchse der Pandora
Eine Monstretragödie
by Frank Wedekind
Es handelt sich um die 1894 fertiggestellte Urfassung der Lulu-Tragödie. Sie besteht aus fünf Akten, die später, aus Zensur- und anderen Gründen mehrfach umgearbeitet, auf die beiden Stücke »Erdgeist« und »Die Büchse der Pandora« verteilt wurden. Der Text wurde zum ersten Mal 1988 im Zusammenhang mit der Uraufführung durch Peter Zadek am Deutschen Schauspielhaus in Hamburg veröffentlicht. »Eine Nachtwandlerin der Liebe, die erst ›fällt‹, wenn sie angerufen wird, ewige Verliererin – von der ein philosophischer Strolch im Drama sagt: ›Die kann von der Liebe nicht leben, weil ihr Leben die Liebe ist.‹ Daß der Freudenquell in dieser engen Welt zur Pandora-Büchse werden muß: diesem unendlichen Bedauern scheint mir die Dichtung zu entstammen«, sagte und schrieb Karl Kraus 1905 zu der von ihm organisierten Uraufführung des zweiten Teils in einer einmaligen, geschlossenen Vorstellung in Wien.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2013Gender, nation and conquest in the high Middle Ages
Nest of Deheubarth
by Susan Johns, Pamela Sharpe, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie
Nest of Deheubarth was one of the most notorious women of the Middle Ages, mistress of Henry I and many other men, famously beautiful and strong-willed, object of one of the most notorious abduction/elopements of the period and ancestress of one of the most famous dynasties in medieval Ireland, the Fitzgeralds. This volume sheds light on women, gender, imperialism and conquest in the Middle Ages. From it emerges a picture of a woman who, though remarkable, was not exceptional, representative not of a group of victims or pawns in the dramatic transformations of the high Middle Ages but powerful and decisive actors. The book examines beauty, love, sex and marriage and the interconnecting identities of Nest as wife/concubine/mistress, both at the time and in the centuries since her death, when for Welsh writers and other commentators she has proved a powerful symbol. ;

The ArtsDecember 2024The picture politics of Sir Francis Carruthers Gould
Britain's pioneering political cartoonist
by Mark Bryant
This is the first major study of Britain's pioneering graphic satirist, Sir Francis Carruthers Gould (1844-1925), the first staff political cartoonist on a daily newspaper in Britain, and the first of his kind to be knighted. Written by the distinguished media historian, Colin Seymour-Ure, it is essential reading for anyone interested in cartoons, caricature and illustration and will also be welcomed by students of history, politics and the media. It examines Gould's career in Fleet Street until his retirement after the First World War. It also discusses his illustrations for magazines and books and there is an analysis of his use of symbolism and literary allusion to lampoon such eminent politicians as Gladstone and Joseph Chamberlain. As Lord Baker says in his Foreword, this book is 'a major contribution to our knowledge of British cartooning.'
