        Literalität in traditionalen Gesellschaften

        by Jack Goody, Friedhelm Herborth, Thomas Lindquist, Jack Goody

        "Der vorliegende Band enthält eine Reihe von Fallstudien, die die Nutzung der Literalität in traditionalen Gesellschaften illustrieren; es werden nicht nur Gesellschaften untersucht, in denen es seit langem eine partielle Literalität gibt, die Untersuchung bezieht sich auch auf den Einfluß der Schrift in nicht-literalen Gesellschaften. Zusätzlich zu den Fallstudien enthält der Band die inzwischen berühmt gewordene Studie von Jack Goody und lan Watt über »Konsequenzen der Literalität«."

        Jack Clayton

        by Neil Sinyard

        In François Truffaut's opinion The Innocents was 'the best English film after Hitchcock goes to America'. Tennessee Williams said of The Great Gatsby: 'a film whose artistry even surpassed the original novel'. The maker of both films was Jack Clayton, one of the finest English directors of the post-war era and perhaps best remembered for the trail-blazing Room at the Top which brought a new sexual frankness and social realism to the British screen. This is the first full-length critical study of Clayton's work. The author has been able to consult and quote from the director's own private papers which illuminate Clayton's creative practices and artistic intentions. In addition to fresh analyses of the individual films, the book contains new material on Clayton's many unrealised projects and valuably includes his previously unpublished short story 'The Enchantment' - as poignant and revealing as the films themselves. This is a personal and fascinating account of the career and achievement of an important, much-loved director that should appeal to students and film enthusiasts.

        From Jack Tar to Union Jack

        Representing naval manhood in the British Empire, 1870–1918

        by Mary A. Conley

        Jack Tar to Union Jack examines the intersection between empire, navy, and manhood in British society from 1870 to 1918. Through analysis of sources that include courts-martial cases, sailors' own writings, and the HMS Pinafore, Conley charts new depictions of naval manhood during the Age of Empire, a period which witnessed the radical transformation of the navy, the intensification of imperial competition, the democratisation of British society, and the advent of mass culture. Jack Tar to Union Jack argues that popular representations of naval men increasingly reflected and informed imperial masculine ideals in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Conley shows how the British Bluejacket as both patriotic defender and dutiful husband and father stood in sharp contrast to the stereotypic image of the brave but bawdy tar of the Georgian navy. This book will be essential reading for students of British imperial history, naval and military history, and gender studies.

        Pilot Pirx

        Erzählungen

        by Roswitha Buschmann, Kurt Kelm, Stanisław Lem

        Zu den liebenswürdigsten Gestalten, die der weltberühmte polnische Science-fiction-Autor Stanislaw Lem geschaffen hat, gehört Pilot Pirx. Seine Geschichten sind im Grunde Variationen über ein Thema: »nämlich das Modell des Menschen in der kosmischen Ära«, wie der Kritiker Jerzy Jarzebski es formulierte.
