The ArtsOctober 2009Journeyman
An autobiography
by Ewan Maccoll, Peggy Seeger
This new edition of Journeyman, Ewan MacColl's vivid and entertaining autobiography, has been re-edited from the original manuscript, and includes a new introduction by Peggy Seeger, for whom he wrote the unforgettable 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'. MacColl, a singer, songwriter, actor, playwright and broadcaster, begins this fascinating account with his working class Salford childhood, traces the founding and life of Theatre Workshop, one of Britain's most innovative theatre companies, then moves on to his work with folksingers, the Radio Ballads and his ascent into old age. Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger were among the main leaders of the UK folksong revival. Journeyman documents their struggle to secure the integrity of that revival as the popular media appropriated and re-created traditional music for commercial gain. An entertaining and thought-provoking slice of British history, it will appeal to those interested in the histories of folk music, theatre, radio, left-wing politics and the Manchester area. ;

The ArtsSeptember 2021Building reputations
Architecture and the artisan, 1750–1830
by Conor Lucey
Taking a cue from revisionist scholarship on early modern vernacular architectures and their relationship to the classical canon, this book rehabilitates the reputations of a representative if misunderstood building typology - the eighteenth-century brick terraced house - and the artisan communities of bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers responsible for its design and construction. Opening with a cultural history of the building tradesman in terms of his reception within contemporary architectural discourse, chapters consider the design, decoration and marketing of the town house in the principal cities of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British Atlantic world. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of the history of architectural design and interior decoration specifically, and of eighteenth-century society and culture generally.

TelevisionSeptember 2004Terry Nation
by Jonathan Bignell, Andrew O'Day
This is the first in-depth study of the science fiction television devised and written by Terry Nation. Terry Nation was the inventor of the Daleks and wrote other serials for 'Doctor Who'; he also wrote the BBC's 1970s post-apocalyptic drama 'Survivors' and created the space adventure series 'Blake's 7'. Previously television science fiction in Britain has received little critical attention. This book fills that gap and places Nation's work in the context of its production. Using Terry Nation's science fiction work as a case study, the boundaries around the authorship and authority of the television writer are explored in detail. The authors make use of BBC's archival research and specially conducted interviews with television producers and other production staff, to discuss how the programmes that Terry Nation created and wrote were commissioned, produced and brought to the screen. The book makes an important contribution to the study of British television history and will be of interest to enthusiasts of Terry Nation's landmark drama series as well as students of Television Studies.

January 1980Ein Messer für den ehrlichen Finder
Roman
by Jörg Steiner
Mit lapidaren Sätzen zeichnet Steiner den Weg des José Claude Ledermann – genannt Schose –, »der während des Krieges in der Schweiz aufwächst und früh den Ausweg aus den häuslichen Verhältnissen sucht; früh wird der teils aggressive, teils verschlossene Junge selbständig, er möchte Radfahrer werden, aber ein Unfall macht die Hoffnungen zunichte, und aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen, muß er erleben, daß ein Schulkamerad, ein Streber und Schoßkind von Lehrer und Erwachsenen, sein Rad verkauft hat. Schose sticht ihn mit dem Taschenmesser nieder und muß für Jahre in die Erziehungsanstalt. Der Krieg geht zu Ende, die Soldaten, die die Schweizer Grenze bewachten, kommen nach Hause, der Junge wird entlassen und findet auf einem Frachtkahn Arbeit. In Bern sucht er endlich Fuß zu fassen; ungewiß bleibt, ob und wie es ihm gelingt. – Es ist ein erstaunlich gutes Buch. Erstaunlich ebenso in seiner Sachlichkeit wie in der sprachlichen und kompositorischen Ökonomie.« (Peter O. Chotjewitz)

Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2021Crafting identities
Artisan culture in London, c. 1550–1640
by Jasmine Kilburn-Toppin, Christopher Breward, James Ryan
Crafting identities explores artisanal identity and culture in early modern London. It demonstrates that the social, intellectual and political status of London's crafts and craftsmen were embedded in particular material and spatial contexts. Through examination of a wide range of manuscript, visual and material culture sources, the book investigates for the first time how London's artisans physically shaped the built environment of the city and how the experience of negotiating urban spaces impacted directly on their distinctive individual and collective identities. Applying an innovative and interdisciplinary methodology to the examination of artisanal cultures, the book engages with the fields of social and cultural history and the histories of art, design and architecture. It will appeal to scholars of early modern social, cultural and urban history, as well as those interested in design and architectural history.

Health & Personal DevelopmentOPD-3 - Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis
The Manual for Diagnostics and Therapy Planning
by Arbeitskreis OPD (Hrsg.)
The Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostic (OPD) is a multiaxial psychodynamic diagnostic system that has become a widely accepted standard in psychodynamic diagnosis for clinical and research use. Numerous empirical studies demonstrate the validity of OPD findings. The clear operationalization, supplemented by case examples and working materials, makes essential components of psychodynamic models - illness experience, relational patterns, intrapsychic conflicts, availability about structural functions - reliably ascertainable.

The ArtsMarch 2018Art versus industry?
New perspectives on visual and industrial cultures in nineteenth-century Britain
by Christopher Breward, Kate Nichols, Bill Sherman, Rebecca Wade, Gabriel Williams
This book is about encounters between art and industry in nineteenth-century Britain. It looks beyond the oppositions established by later interpretations of the work of John Ruskin, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement to reveal surprising examples of collaboration - between artists, craftspeople, designers, inventors, curators, engineers and educators - during a crucial period in the formation of the cultural and commercial identity of Britain and its colonies. Across thirteen chapters by fourteen contributors, Art versus industry? explores such diverse subjects as the production of lace, the mechanical translation of sculpture, the display of stained glass, the use of the kaleidoscope in painting and pattern design, the emergence of domestic electric lighting and the development of art and design education and international exhibitions in India.

Aufzeichnungen eines Mitglieds des Sonderkommandos
by Salmen Gradowski, Aurélia Kalisky, Miriam Trinh, Almut Seiffert, Andreas Kilian
Salmen Gradowski war ein Mitglied des »Sonderkommandos« von Auschwitz – jener Gruppe (nicht nur) jüdischer Häftlinge, die die Opfer in die Gaskammern begleiten und deren Körper nach der Vergasung verbrennen mussten. Einige von ihnen notierten das Verbrechen in allen Einzelheiten und vergruben ihr Zeugnis auf dem Lagergelände. Der erste, unvollständige Teil von Gradowskis Aufzeichnungen, in einer Flasche versteckt, wurde 1945 auf dem Gelände des Vernichtungslagers Birkenau von Soldaten der Roten Armee gefunden und 1969 in Warschau erstmals veröffentlicht. Den zweiten Teil – in einer Dose versteckt – verkaufte ein polnischer Finder dem in Auschwitz lebenden Chaim Wollnerman, der 1947 nach Palästina auswanderte und das Zeugnis erst 1977 im Privatdruck veröffentlichte. Sämtliche Texte Gradowskis erscheinen hier erstmals vollständig in deutscher Übersetzung. Gradowskis Zeugnis ist von einer fast unerträglichen Akribie und Sprachkraft. Inmitten der Katastrophe, die er durchlebt, in dem Bewusstsein, sich nur an Gott und an eine Nachwelt richten zu können, versucht Gradowski, die eigene und die kollektive Erfahrung der Judenvernichtung als Menschheitsgeschehen zu deuten. Um der unversöhnlichen Trauer Stimme zu geben, greift er zurück auf das liturgische Repertoire wie Klagelieder oder apokalyptische Schriften, aber auch auf neujiddische Poesie. Die Vereinigung von literarischem Dokument und historischem Zeugnis macht Gradowskis Aufzeichnungen einzigartig.
