        Aus dem Berliner Journal
        January 2014

        Aus dem Berliner Journal

        by Max Frisch

        Es gilt als einer der großen Schätze in Max Frischs Nachlass, das legendäre Berliner Journal, das er begann, als er 1973 in West-Berlin in der Sarrazinstraße eine Wohnung bezog. Danach hat der Autor es selbst mit einer Sperrfrist von zwanzig Jahren nach seinem Tod versehen, der „privaten Sachen“ wegen, die er dort festhielt. 2014 ist das Journal, in Auszügen, erstmals erschienen, ein Fest für das Feuilleton, eine Fundgrube für die Leser. Jetzt erscheint es als Taschenbuch. „Ich konnte das Buch … nicht mehr weglegen.“ Tobias Rüther, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung „Ich las diesen Max Frisch jetzt und war total beeindruckt. Nicht nur von dem psychologischen Reichtum, den Max Frisch zu entfalten vermag, sondern auch von der delikaten Stilartistik … das ist wirklich ein toller Autor.“ Ijoma Mangold „Hier ist der ganze Max Frisch in all seiner thematischen Vielfalt, in seinem psychologischen Scharfsinn und seiner gesellschaftlichen Neugier wiederzuentdecken.“ Jörg Magenau, Süddeutsche Zeitung „Wenige konnten die Träume unserer in sich selbst verliebten, vorwärtsdrängenden Epoche besser beschwören als Max Frisch.“ Iris Radisch, Die Zeit

        Romane, Erzählungen, Journale

        by Paul Nizon, Samuel Moser, Wend Kässens

        Paul Nizon war nie ein Vielschreiber, doch dafür haben sich die wenigen Bücher, die er seit seinem Debüt vor fünfzig Jahren veröffentlicht hat, als ungeheuer beständig und gegenwärtig erwiesen. Sie gehören zum schönsten, was in den letzten Jahrzehnten in deutscher Sprache erschienen ist. Am 19. Dezember 2009 feiert er seinen 80. Geburtstag. Die vorliegende Quarto-Ausgabe versammelt aus diesem Anlaß sein erzählerisches Gesamtwerk in einem Band: die Romane und die Erzählungen; ihnen ebenbürtig zur Seite stehen die Journale aus den Jahren 1961 bis 1999, dieser Fortsetzungsroman eines einzigartigen Künstlerlebens. Dieser Band bietet im Vergleich zu den Einzelbänden eine Preisersparnis von 82%.

        Die Zettel des Kuriers

        Journal 1990 - 1999

        by Paul Nizon, Wend Kässens

        "Da sitzt einer beim Schreiben vor seiner Maschine und beginnt zu spielen. Das ist die Ausgangslage, das ist der Beginn. Der Beginn ist ohne Plan und ohne bestimmtes Wissen und Vorhaben. Ein Mensch, der anfängt zu sprechen oder zu murmeln und der sich im Grunde bekennen, das heißt seiner Existenz und des Lebens vergewissern möchte. Er fängt irgendwo an und nimmt sich und den Leser auf die Reise mit. Die Reise führt durch die Gegenwart und Erinnerung und vielleicht auch ins Utopische, sie führt durch Unwetter und Ängste ebenso wie durch den Traum, sie staut sich an Reflexionen und ergießt sich in Emotionen, sie sucht nach dem Glück und durchquert die Einsamkeit etc., und dabei entsteht das Seismogramm einer heutigen Existenz und, wenn wir Glück haben, der Reichtum des Lebens, ja, und hoffentlich auch Schönheit und Glanz." "Für mich ist dies Journal die Anatomie einer seltenen Spezies Künstler und die Radiographie der dazugehörigen schöpferischen Prozesse. Dazu die fabelhafteste Unabhängigkeitserklärung und des weiteren ein seltenes, vielleicht exemplarisches Dokument. Basta."

        Das Drehbuch der Liebe

        Journal 1973–1979

        by Paul Nizon, Wend Kässens, Wend Kässens

        Ein Mann in der Mitte des Lebens, Schriftsteller. Auf einer Lesereise, unterwegs durch fremde Länder, zieht er sich in einer dramatischen, ebenso ausweglos wie aussichtslos scheinenden Begegnung mit einer jungen Frau das zu, was er später eine »Liebesvergiftung« nennen wird. Nach dieser Begegnung findet er sich nicht mehr zurecht, er verkommt. Auch das Verhältnis zu seiner jahrelangen Lebensgefährtin, die er erst kürzlich geheiratet hat, wird dadurch zerstört. Er übersiedelt, nein flieht von Zürich nach Paris, wo ihm eine verstorbene Tante eine winzige Wohnung hinterlassen hat. In dieser Zelle wartet er, wider alle Vernunft, daß die junge Geliebte sich für ihn entscheidet und daß das Schreiben wieder von ihm Besitz ergreift. Um die Wartezeit bis dahin zu überbrücken, klammert er sich an seine täglichen Notate, in denen er die Geschichte dieser verrückten Liebe, seine Geschichte bewahrt: Das Drehbuch der Liebe.Paul Nizon erzählt in seinem Journal – diesem Fortsetzungsroman eines einzigartigen Künstlerlebens – von der grausamen Verzauberung durch die Liebe, von den Exerzitien der Einsamkeit in Paris, seiner Sehnsucht nach Neugeburt durch die Zaubermacht der Metropole und nicht zuletzt von den Lektionen, die das Schreiben und die Frauen ihm erteilten.

        In the Shadow of War

        Diary notes from Ukraine

        by Christoph Brumme

        "What can you learn in war? Do you become numb, do you get used to it at some point? Does war make you "hard", uncaring, above pain? No. These are just clichés. Every day brings new horrors. At best, one learns for some time to suppress strong feelings, because to give in to them would weaken one's life instinct." In a very stirring and shocking, but sometimes humorous language, Christoph Brumme tells of the situation in Ukraine, the everyday life of his family and friends, of fears, longings and political assessments. The diary entries of the war and the resistance of the Ukrainians, starting from the first signs of the impending war in mid-January 2022 until the printing of this book, 1st May 2022, impressively bear witness to the brutality of these events.

        The life of mise-en-scène

        Visual style and British film criticism, 1946–78

        by John Gibbs

        The life of mise-en-scène offers a critical history of key debates about visual style in British film journals in the post-war period. It reclaims an often-ignored or misrepresented history, including: the concept of film poetry in the journal Sequence, changing attitudes in Sight and Sound during the 1950s, and the battle over the significance of film style which raged between a number of small journals and the national press in the early 1960s. It examines the British school, first associated with Movie in the 1960s, which, in Adrian Martin's words, is enjoying a 'widespread, international revival' - but also other critical movements, more hazily remembered. It explores the role of mise-en-scène in melodrama criticism, and considers what happened to detailed criticism as major theoretical movements emerged in the 1970s. In doing so, it provides a vital context for the contemporary practice of style-based criticism and challenges received notions of critical history, developing our understanding of a range of other key debates and concerns in the study of film. ;

        The construction of public opinion in a digital age

        The construction of public opinion in a digital age

        by Catherine Happer

        This book presents a new conceptual model for understanding the role of the media in the construction of public knowledge, belief and opinion in the context of a radically changed communications infrastructure. Drawing on a series of empirical studies conducted over nearly a decade, Happer deploys evidence of a 'disconnect' between neoliberal media and the public which is rooted in a disaffection with a mainstream political culture which has failed to deliver the societal outcomes promised. As people are pushed towards alternative digital sources, new communities of opinion are produced in ways which polarise publics and ultimately limit the potential for social change. Offering an innovative and urgently needed new sociological analysis, this book is required reading for an inter-disciplinary field of media, journalism, and politics/IR which has largely abandoned questions of media power and public opinion management, as well as policymakers, science communicators and journalists. Key points of the book: 1) public opinion formation and why people may come to different positions through the development of a new model 2) the societal outcomes produced when a widespread disconnect between journalism and public opinion emerges 3) the atomisation of opinion and its relations to newly constructed opinion communities (with consideration of the role of class) 4) the turn to digitally available alternatives which enable new, less visible power agents to exert control.

        Victorian women's magazines

        An anthology

        by Margaret Beetham, Kay Boardman

        This anthology makes available to students and general readers the rich variety of Victorian magazines for women. The extracts range from fashion magazines to feminist journals, from serious works for Christian mothers to tales of romance and passion for 'sweethearts'. Focusing on the historical development of the British women's magazine, this extensively illustrated work gives access to texts which few readers ever see. The first main section describes and illustrates eight kinds of magazine for women. Though they have common features, the differences between the drawing room journal of the 1830s and 1840s and the cheap domestic magazines of the 1890s are clearly demonstrated. The second section focuses on those elements which made up the magazine's typical mix of ingredients, including fiction, the fashion plate, poetry, political journalism, advice columns and reader's letters. The last section is the most comprehensive listing of British Victorian women's magazines which currently exists. This is a work of scholarship but one which will appeal to students of Cultural, Historical, Literary and Women's Studies, as well as to the general interested reader. Like the magazines it represents, it offers its readers both entertainment and instruction. ;

        Into the woods

        An epistemography of climate change

        by Meritxell Ramírez-i-Ollé

        This book is a detailed exploration of the working practices of a community of scientists exposed in public, and of the making of scientific knowledge about climate change in Scotland. For four years, the author joined these scientists in their sampling expeditions into the Caledonian forests, observed their efforts in the laboratory to produce data from wood samples and followed their discussions of a graph showing the evolution of the Scottish temperature over the past millennium in conferences, workshops and peer-review journals. This epistemography of climate change is of broad social and academic relevance - both for its contextualised treatment of a key contemporary science, and for its original formulation of a methodology for investigating expertise.

        Holiday camps in twentieth-century Britain

        Packaging pleasure

        by Sandra Trudgen Dawson, Jeffrey Richards

        This book is the story of two holiday camp chains established in the 1930s that provided thousands with packaged pleasure. Warner and Butlin's commercial camps emerged at the intersection of cultural shifts that politicised working-class leisure and consumption. Entertainment fostered in the post-war camps provided a forum for popular pleasure that reinforced the idea of a 'national' culture grown from the common experience of war. Butlin and Warner, the big commercial chains of the 50s and 60s, are enmeshed in our social and cultural history. Dawson uncovers the significance of the holiday camps to the political, economic, social, and cultural history of twentieth-century Britain, drawing on an impressive variety of sources, from government documents to trade journals, advertising, photographs, oral histories, literature, films and songs. This unique volume will be of interest to academics and specialists of British social history, popular culture and tourism studies whilst remaining accessible to enthusiasts. ;

        Gender and housing in Soviet Russia

        Private life in a public space

        by Pamela Sharpe, Lynne Attwood, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie

        This book explores the housing problem throughout the 70 years of Soviet history, looking at changing political ideology on appropriate forms of housing under socialism, successive government policies on housing, and the meaning and experience of 'home' for Soviet citizens. Attwood examines the use of housing to alter gender relations, and the ways in which domestic space was differentially experienced by men and women. Much of Attwood's material comes from Soviet magazines and journals, which enables her to demonstrate how official ideas on housing and daily life changed during the course of the Soviet era, and were propagandised to the population. Through a series of in-depth interviews, she also draws on the memories of people with direct experience of Soviet housing and domestic life. Attwood has produced not just a history of housing, but a social history of daily life which will appeal both to scholars and those with a general interest in Soviet history.

        Representations of British motoring

        by David Jeremiah, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman, Alan Rutter

        Representations of British motoring provides important new insights into the established discourses of British motoring. Based on the patterns of representation that have mediated between the trade, owners and society, particularly the myths and realities generated by the advertising campaigns and motoring journals, it identifies the landmarks of change and innovation. It is not about great images as such, although some are, but particular attention has been directed towards the creative intervention of the artist-illustrators. Part One emphasises the critical significance of the emerging concerns and aspirations of the first decade of motoring, while the two subsequent parts provide a clear understanding of how the continuity of the public debate has shaped the concepts of modern and popular motoring. The new models, motorists and motoring landscape are the central themes through which it has been possible to track the preoccupation with questions regarding speed and safety, the idea of being British, the aesthetics of the car and motoring, and the family, women and the car. As such it is a design history that redefines and extends the parameters of the history of motoring, providing an overview of the place of the motor-car and motoring in British society that is relevant to undergraduate and postgraduate studies and the motoring enthusiast. ;

        Making of the GDR, 1945–53

        by Gareth Pritchard

        'Pritchard masterfully interweaves materials from professional journals, memoirs, interview protocols, diaries, Eastern and Western historical interpretations, as well as a wide range of state and party archives. The result is an impressive and important achievement that belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in the foundation period of East European Communist regimes.' American Historical Review The making of the GDR 1945-53 is a groundbreaking analysis of the Stalinisation of East Germany. Whereas most traditional accounts have explained the creation of the GDR in terms of high politics and of Soviet foreign policy, this book focuses on the social roots of the emerging dictatorship. These were located above all in the traditions of the German labour movement and the history of the anti-Nazi resistance. The GDR was not imposed on the East German people at the point of Russian bayonets; it emerged out of the interaction between Soviet occupation policy and the politics of the East German working class. The making of the GDR 1945-53 also tells a powerful human story, in which the aspirations of antifascists and Socialists were manipulated and ultimately betrayed by Stalinism. Based on extensive research, this book will be of interest to those concerned with the division of Germany, the nature of the GDR, and the whole trajectory of post-war German politics. ;
