        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic since 1917

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg, Alan Rice

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

        Gothic television

        by Helen Wheatley

        Gothic television is the first full length study of the Gothic released on British and US television. An historical account, the book combines detailed archival research with analyses of key programmes, from Mystery and Imagination and Dark Shadows, to The Woman in White and Twin Peaks, and uncovers an aspect of television drama history which has, until now, remained critically unexplored. While some have seen television as too literal or homely a medium to successfully present Gothic fictions, Gothic television argues that the genre, in its many guises, is, and has always been, well-suited to television as a domestic medium, given the genre's obsessions with haunted houses and troubled families. This book will be of interest to lecturers and students across a number of disciplines including television studies, Gothic studies, and adaptation studies, as well as to the general reader with an interest in the Gothic, and in the history of television drama.

        The Black Death

        by Rosemary Horrox

        This series provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural, social and political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. Translations are accompanied by introductory and explanatory material and each volume includes a comprehensive guide to the sources' interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of recent research on the topics covered. From 1348 to 1350 Europe was devastated by an epidemic that left between a third and one half of the population dead. This source book traces, through contemporary writings, the calamitous impact of the Black Death in Europe, with a particular emphasis on its spread across England from 1348 to 1349. Rosemary Horrox surveys contemporary attempts to explain the plague, which was universally regarded as an expression of divine vengeance for the sins of humankind. Moralists all had their particular targets for criticism. However, this emphasis on divine chastisement did not preclude attempts to explain the plague in medical or scientific terms. Also, there was a widespread belief that human agencies had been involved, and such scapegoats as foreigners, the poor and Jews were all accused of poisoning wells. The final section of the book charts the social and psychological impact of the plague, and its effect on the late-medieval economy.

        Politicising and gendering care for older people

        Multidisciplinary perspectives from Europe

        by Anca Dohotariu, Ana Paula Gil, Lubica Volanská

        This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.

        Das fünfte Buch

        Neue Lebensläufe. 402 Geschichten

        by Alexander Kluge

        »Unsere Lebensläufe sind die Häuser, aus deren Fenstern wir Menschen die Welt deuten: ein Gefäß der Erfahrung für das literarisch Erzählbare.« Alexander Kluge Mit diesem Fünften Buch gelangt Alexander Kluges großes Erzählprojekt zu seinem Abschluß. In vier voraufgegangenen Bänden, der zweibändigen »Chronik der Gefühle« und den einbändigen Geschichtensammlungen »Die Lücke, die der Teufel läßt« sowie »Tür an Tür mit einem anderen Leben«, wurden seit dem Jahr 2000 die über sechs Jahrzehnte hinweg entstandenen Geschichten des Autors in großformatigen Bänden versammelt. Alle Geschichten, die darin nicht enthalten waren, werden diesem Eckband seines Lebenswerks nun auf neue Weise eingeschrieben: konzentriert und endgültig. Darüber hinaus aber führt »«Das fünfte Buch mit einer großen Gruppe »Neuer Lebensläufe« auf den Beginn von Kluges Laufbahn als Erzähler zurück. Seine »Lebensläufe« erschienen 1962, vor genau 50 Jahren. Und wieder nutzt dieser Erzähler sein bewährtes Gefäß: den »Lebenslauf« als das Gefäß aller Erfahrung – für Abgründe der Vernunft, für Brückenköpfe zu offenen Horizonten, für die realistisch-antirealistische Doppelnatur des Menschen und den inneren Partisanen in jedem von uns.

        Nachricht von ruhigen Momenten

        89 Geschichten. 64 Bilder

        by Alexander Kluge, Gerhard Richter

        Im goldenen Herbst des Jahres 2012 stand »Die Welt« für einen Tag still, und als Sinnbild des Stillstands lag dort ein schläfriger Hund, wo sonst die Schlagzeilen drohen. Was war geschehen? Gerhard Richter, einer der global maßgeblichen Künstler, hatte die Herrschaft ergriffen und allen 30 Seiten der »Welt«-Ausgabe vom 5. Oktober 2012 seinen Handstempel aufgedrückt: Bilder von ruhigen Momenten in unruhigen Zeiten, Aufhebung des politischen Primats, Privates statt Welthistorisches, vor allem aber: kunstvolle Kontraste zwischen Schärfe und Unschärfe. Bei der öffentlichen Vorstellung dieser ungewöhnlichen Kunstaktion hielt Alexander Kluge die Laudatio. Spontan begleitete er die Fotos mit Geschichten. Gerhard Richter antwortete darauf ebenso spontan mit dem Vorschlag eines gemeinsamen Buches. Richter lieferte weitere Bilder und Kluge weitere Geschichten. So entstand nach dem Erfolgsbuch »Dezember« eine zweite gemeinsame Arbeit der beiden im Februar 1932 geborenen Künstler: ein Buch zur zeitgleich durchlebten Geschichte, so scharf wie unscharf gesehen.

        Nutritional Practice Elderly People

        Concise advisory knowledge

        by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich (ed.)

        The physiology and living conditions of people change as they grow old, whereas it is often more difficult to adapt eating habits to the new requirements. Psychological aspects come to the fore. The challenge for giving specific nutritional advice is therefore particularly great. This volume in the book series Nutritional Practice provides all the information needed for the competent care of elderly people. It deals with general aspects of nutrition in old age, as well as specific nutritional situations such as poor diet, dehydration, chewing and swallowing problems, dementia, mobility, oral and food hygiene or nutrition at the end of life. A further section is concerned with communal catering.

        Terence Fisher

        by Peter Hutchings

        Terence Fisher is best known as the director who made most of the classic Hammer horrors - including The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Devil Rides Out. But there is more to Terence Fisher than Hammer horror. In a busy twenty-five-year career, he directed fifty films, not just horrors but also thrillers, comedies, melodramas and science-fiction. This book offers an appreciation of all of Fisher's films and also gives a sense of his place in British film history. Looking at Fisher's career as a whole not only underlines his importance as a film-maker but also casts a new, interesting light on the areas in which he worked - Gainsborough melodrama, the 1950s B film, 1960s science-fiction and, of course, Hammer, one of the most successful independent film companies in the history of British cinema.

        by Alexander Kluge, Thomas Combrink

        In seinem 1962 erschienenen, legendären Debüt hat Alexander Kluge Geschichten versammelt, die über die Bruchstelle von 1945 hinweg verlaufen: »Die Erzählungen dieses Bandes stellen aus sehr verschiedenen Aspekten die Frage nach der Tradition. Es handelt sich um Lebensläufe, teils erfunden, teils nicht erfunden; zusammen ergeben sie eine traurige Geschichte.« Diese Ausgabe der »Suhrkamp BasisBibliothek – Arbeitstexte für Schule und Studium« bietet neben den Texten einen Kommentar, der alle für das Verständnis der Erzählungen erforderlichen Informationen enthält: ein biografisches Porträt des Autors, die Entstehungs-, Text- und Rezeptionsgeschichte, Deutungsansätze, Literaturhinweise sowie detaillierte Wort- und Sacherläuterungen.

        James Baldwin, my father and I

        by Douglas Field

        A moving exploration of the life and work of the celebrated American writer, blending biography and memoir with literary criticism. Since James Baldwin's death in 1987, his writing - including The Fire Next Time, one of the manifestoes of the Civil Rights Movement, and Giovanni's Room, a pioneering work of gay fiction - has only grown in relevance. Douglas Field was introduced to Baldwin's essays and novels by his father, who witnessed the writer's debate with William F. Buckley at Cambridge University in 1965. In Walking in the dark, he embarks on a journey to unravel his life-long fascination and to understand why Baldwin continues to enthral us decades after his death. Tracing Baldwin's footsteps in France, the US and Switzerland, and digging into archives, Field paints an intimate portrait of the writer's life and influence. At the same time, he offers a poignant account of coming to terms with his father's Alzheimer's disease. Interweaving Baldwin's writings on family, illness, memory and place, Walking in the dark is an eloquent testament to the enduring power of great literature to illuminate our paths.

        Nordic Gothic

        by Maria Holmgren Troy, Johan Hõglund, Yvonne Leffler, Sofia Wijkmark

        Nordic Gothic traces Gothic fiction in the Nordic region from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, with a main focus on the development of Gothic from the 1990s onwards in literature, film, TV and new media. The volume gives an overview of Nordic Gothic fiction in relation to transnational developments and provides a number of case studies and in-depth analyses of individual narratives. It creates an understanding of this under-researched cultural phenomenon by showing how the narratives make visible cultural anxieties haunting the Nordic countries, their welfare systems, identities and ideologies. Nordic Gothic examines how figures from Nordic folklore function as metaphorical expressions of Gothic themes and Nordic settings are explored from perspectives such as ecocriticism and postcolonialism. The book will be of interest to researchers and post- and- undergraduate students in various fields within the Humanities.

        Das Labyrinth der zärtlichen Kraft

        166 Liebesgeschichten. Mit einer DVD

        by Alexander Kluge, Thomas Combrink, Thomas Combrink

        Es gibt keine menschliche Eigenschaft, die älter und fürs Überleben notwendiger ist als die Liebe. Wer liebt, sagt man, ist verkauft mit Haut und Haar. Zugleich ist Liebe, so heißt es in Bizets Carmen, „frei wie ein Vogel“. Wie verschieden ist sie von anderen guten Dingen, von ruhiger Freundlichkeit, unerschütterlicher Ruhe, Vertragstreue und von ausgeglichenen Bilanzen! Sie ist ein ‚Attraktor’, unbezwinglich wie die Gravitation, nach der die Sterne tanzen. Zugleich aber der dunklen Energie ähnlich, die uns in eine unbekannte Zukunft vorwärtstreibt. In diesem Labyrinth der Gegensätze kann man sich verirren. In Zeiten der Not und der Finanzkrise versammelt sich die zärtliche Kraft an deren Gegenpol im Erzählten. Denn sie besitzt ihre ganz eigene Ökonomie. Die meisten der hier versammelten 166 Liebesgeschichten sind längst geschrieben. Sie verbargen sich bisher in den 2000 Texten von Alexander Kluge. „Basisgeschichten“ war einer ihrer Namen. Nun ordnen sie sich thematisch neu und in Gesellschaft neuer Geschichten und Reflexionen zu einem Flug über die Landkarten der Liebe. Auf einem Hochplateau endet dieser Flug, im Herzen des schönsten Liebesromans der nichtsentimentalen Tradition und einem Kardinaltext der Moderne über Beziehungsökonomie: der Princesse de Clèves der Madame de La Fayette. Mit einer DVD - Nachrichten vom Tausendfüßler. 21 unveröffentlichte Filme Länge: 158 Minuten Liebe baut ihre Gärten und Nester in den Formen der poetischen Kraft: Mit Hilfe von Büchern, von Filmen und Musikstücken. Zwei dieser Parameter fehlen in einem gedruckten Text. Deshalb ergänzt die folgende DVD die Geschichten durch bewegte Bilder, Filme und durch Schriften, die sich zu Musik bewegen. 1. Reimlexikon von 1826. Stichwort Liebe. (2’ 24’’) Die besten Reime von „Liebe“ bis „Getriebe“. Musik: If All of the Dead are Coming Ahead. Von Gustav & Band (Eva Jantschitsch). 2.
