Unter den rumänischen Satirikern ist Tudor Arghezi (geb. 1880) der bedeutendste. Von früh auf hat er sich der Polemik und dem Pamphlet verschrieben und sich auf die Seite der Unterdrückten und Erniedrigten geschlagen. So ist er gegen Ende des ersten wie des zweiten Weltkriegs verfolgt und verhaftet worden. Wie kein zweiter hat er den Kleinen genützt und den Großen geschadet.

The Witch of Edmonton has received considerable attention recently both from scholars and critics interested in witchcraft practices and also from the directors in the theatre. The play, based on a sensational witchcraft trial of 1621, presents Mother Sawyer and her local community in the grip of a witch-mania reflecting popular belief and superstition of the time. This edition offers a thorough reconsideration of the text with a complete transcription of the original pamphlet by Henry Goodcole. This edition will be of particular interest not only to students of Renaissance Drama but also of the cultural history of the seventeenth century..

Zorniger hat Andrzej Stasiuk nie über Polen und den Westen geschrieben als nach seiner jüngsten Reise durch Südosteuropa. Zurück aus den „Ländern mit ausgeprägter Persönlichkeit”, wo Minarette neben Minen- und Gräberfeldern stehen, stößt er sich an obszönen Widersprüchen im eigenen Land: Nach Märtyrertum dürsten, aber zwischen zwanzig Chipssorten und erschwinglichen Tunesien-Angeboten wählen - wie paßt das zusammen? Sieht Polen nicht längst aus wie ein zurückgebliebenes Deutschland? Bleibt der Südosten deshalb ein nie einzuholendes Ziel, weil den Reisenden dort eine Realität anspringt, die zu Hause verdrängt oder neutralisiert ist? Reisebilder und Reflexionen, Rhapsodie und Pamphlet - Andrzej Stasiuk radikalisiert in seinem neuen großen Prosatext seine Kunst des scharfen Blicks und der pointierten Poesie.

Es war das Fernsehereignis des Jahres 2000: Margarethe von Trottas vierteilige Verfilmung des Jahrhundertwerks von Uwe Johnson, das zuvor als unverfilmbar gegolten hatte. Doch der Westdeutsche Rundfunk ließ sich auf das Wagnis ein, und nach über zehn Jahren Vorbereitungszeit war die »Legende von der Unverfilmbarkeit hinreißend widerlegt« (FAZ) – nicht zuletzt dank großartiger Darsteller wie Suzanne von Borsody, Axel Milberg, Hanns Zischler und Matthias Habich. Im ausführlichen Booklet zu dieser DVD-Box beschreiben die Beteiligten den ehrgeizigen Versuch, Johnsons ausgreifendes Panorama über das Leben einer deutschen Familie im 20. Jahrhundert in eine Filmerzählung zu übersetzen. »Margarethe von Trotta gelingt ein kleines TV-Wunder.« Der Spiegel

Knowing COVID-19 demonstrates how researchers in the humanities shone a light on some of the many hidden problems of COVID-19, in the very depths of the pandemic crisis. Drawing on eight COVID-19 research projects, the volume shows how humanities researchers, alongside colleagues in the clinical and life sciences, addressed some of the major critical unknowns about this new infectious disease - from the effects of racism to the risks of deploying shame; from how to design an effective instructional leaflet to how to communicate effectively to bus passengers. Across eight novel case studies, the book showcases how humanities research during a pandemic is not only about interpreting the crisis when it has safely passed, but how it can play a vital, collaborative and instrumental role as events are still unfolding.

This collection of essays examines the ways in which poverty was conceptualised in the social, political, and religious discourses of eighteenth-century Europe. It brings together experts with a wide range of expertise to offer pathbreaking discussions of how eighteenth-century thinkers thought about the poor. Because the theme of poverty played important roles in many critical issues in European history, it was central to some of the key debates in Enlightenment political thought throughout the period, including the controversies about sovereignty and representation, public and private charity, as well as questions relating to crime and punishment. The book examines some of the most important contributions to these debates, while also ranging beyond the canonical Enlightenment thinkers, to investigate how poverty was conceptualised in the wider intellectual culture, as politicians, administrators and pamphlet writers grappled with the issue.

Siebzig Jahre nach dem Tod Adolf Hitlers wird sein autobiografisches Pamphlet »Mein Kampf« ab Januar 2016 wieder auf dem Buchmarkt verfügbar sein. Die Schrift, die 1924 entstand und anschließend in zwei Teilen veröffentlicht wurde, fand bis 1945 millionenfache Verbreitung, das Regime schenkte sie beispielsweise frisch Vermählten zur Hochzeit. Dennoch gilt sie, so zumindest die Rechtfertigungsformel nach Kriegsende, als der am wenigsten gelesene Bestseller der deutschen Geschichte. Der große österreichische Kabarettist Helmut Qualtinger hat das Buch nicht nur gelesen, sondern in den siebziger Jahren öffentlich rezitiert. Bereits 1961 hatte Qualtinger mit seinem Ein-Personen-Stück »Der Herr Karl« das Verleugnen von Antisemitismus und Opportunismus thematisiert und heftige Kontroversen ausgelöst. Auch die Lesung von »Mein Kampf« war eine Provokation. Indem Qualtinger zwischen Sachlichkeit und schriller Hysterie changiert, entlarvt er den menschenverachtenden Größenwahn des Diktators.
