        David and Bathsheba

        George Peele

        by Mathew R. Martin

        David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

        Practising shame

        Female honour in later medieval England

        by Mary C. Flannery, Anke Bernau, David Matthews

        Practicing shame investigates how the literature of medieval England encouraged women to safeguard their honour by cultivating hypervigilance against the possibility of sexual shame. A combination of inward reflection and outward comportment, this practice of 'shamefastness' was believed to reinforce women's chastity of mind and body, and to communicate that chastity to others by means of conventional gestures. The book uncovers the paradoxes and complications that emerged from these emotional practices, as well as the ways in which they were satirised and reappropriated by male authors. Working at the intersection of literary studies, gender studies and the history of emotions, it transforms our understanding of the ethical construction of femininity in the past and provides a new framework for thinking about honourable womanhood now and in the years to come.

        Narrative Exposure Therapy

        A Short-Term Treatment for Traumatic - Stress Disorders

        by Maggie Schauer, Frank Neuner, Thomas Elbert

        The Narrative Exposure Therapy manual is an effective, short-term, culturally universal intervention for trauma victims - including the latest insights and new treatments for dissociation and social pain. Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a successful and culturally universal intervention for the treatment of survivors of multiple and severe traumatic events, such as organized violence, torture, war, rape, and childhood abuse. Field tests in contexts of ongoing adversity and disaster areas, as well as controlled trials in various countries, have shown that three to six sessions can be sufficient to provide considerable relief. The first part of the book describes the theoretical background. The second part shows how to use the NET approach step by step, with practical advice and tools, including how to deal with special issues (such as dealing with challenging moments, defense mechanisms for the therapist, and ethical issues). Appendices include an informed consent form, and checklists for the therapist. Target Group: Trauma therapists, clinical psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists, aid workers in conflict regions.

        Queer Objects

        by Chris Brickell, Judith Collard

        Queer lives give rise to a vast array of objects: the things we fill our houses with, the gifts we share with our friends, the commodities we consume at work and at play, the clothes and accessories we wear, and the analogue and digital technologies we use to communicate with one another. But what makes an object queer? The sixty-three chapters in Queer Objects consider this question in relation to lesbian, gay and transgender communities across time, cultures and space. In this unique international collaboration, well-known and newer writers traverse world history to write about items ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings and Roman artefacts to political placards, snapshots, sex toys and the smartphone. Fabulous, captivating, transgressive.

        Dealing with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

        by Ehring, Thomas; Ehlers, Anke

        Traumatic experiences, such as a serious accident, rape or other acts of violence, a natural disaster or warfare can not only cause serious bodily injury, it is also a psychological shock. This guide helps those suffering from trauma or PTSD and their loved ones to better understand the individual’s response to the event and to communicate that the responses to a traumatic experience are normal and understandable. This title describes how the psychological consequences of a trauma are expressed, focusing in particular on the characteristics of posttraumatic stress disorder. It explains how it develops and why it sometimes does not subside over time. Many people recover even without professional help in the course of a few months from a trauma. For sufferers who find it difficult to cope with the experience alone, there are effective treatment options that are clearly illustrated in this guide. In addition, the authors provide information for relatives who want to help their loved ones manage their trauma. For:• those affected and their families• psychotherapists• psychiatrists• medical professionals

        De-centering queer theory

        Communist sexuality in the flow during and after the Cold War

        by Bogdan Popa, Gurminder Bhambra

        De-centering queer theory seeks to reorient queer theory to a different conception of bodies and sexuality derived from Eastern European Marxism. The book articulates a contrast between the concept of the productive body, which draws its epistemology from Soviet and avant-garde theorists, and Cold War gender, which is defined as the social construction of the body. The first part of the book concentrates on the theoretical and visual production of Eastern European Marxism, which proposed an alternative version of sexuality to that of western liberalism. In doing so it offers a historical angle to understand the emergence not only of an alternative epistemology, but also of queer theory's vocabulary. The second part of the book provides a Marxist, anti-capitalist archive for queer studies, which often neglects to engage critically with its liberal and Cold War underpinnings.

        Queer exceptions

        Solo performance in neoliberal times

        by Stephen Greer

        Queer exceptions is a study of contemporary solo performance in the UK and Western Europe that explores the contentious relationship between identity, individuality and neoliberalism. With diverse case studies featuring the work of La Ribot, David Hoyle, Oreet Ashery, Bridget Christie, Tanja Ostojic, Adrian Howells and Nassim Soleimanpour, the book examines the role of singular or 'exceptional' subjects in constructing and challenging assumed notions of communal sociability and togetherness, while drawing fresh insight from the fields of sociology, gender studies and political philosophy to reconsider theatre's attachment to singular lives and experiences. Framed by a detailed exploration of arts festivals as encapsulating the material, entrepreneurial circumstances of contemporary performance-making, this is the first major critical study of solo work since the millennium.

        Imagining Caribbean womanhood

        Race, nation and beauty competitions, 1929–70

        by Pamela Sharpe, Rochelle Rowe, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie

        Over fifty years after Jamaican and Trinidadian independence, Imagining Caribbean womanhood examines the links between beauty and politics in the Anglophone Caribbean, providing a first cultural history of Caribbean beauty competitions, spanning from Kingston to London. It traces the origins and transformation of female beauty contests in the British Caribbean from 1929 to 1970, through the development of cultural nationalism, race-conscious politics and decolonisation. The beauty contest, a seemingly marginal phenomenon, is used to illuminate the persistence of racial supremacy, the advance of consumer culture and the negotiation of race and nation through the idealised performance of cultured, modern beauty. Modern Caribbean femininity was intended to be politically functional but also commercially viable and subtly eroticised.

        Lulu – Die Büchse der Pandora

        Eine Monstretragödie

        by Frank Wedekind

        Es handelt sich um die 1894 fertiggestellte Urfassung der Lulu-Tragödie. Sie besteht aus fünf Akten, die später, aus Zensur- und anderen Gründen mehrfach umgearbeitet, auf die beiden Stücke »Erdgeist« und »Die Büchse der Pandora« verteilt wurden. Der Text wurde zum ersten Mal 1988 im Zusammenhang mit der Uraufführung durch Peter Zadek am Deutschen Schauspielhaus in Hamburg veröffentlicht. »Eine Nachtwandlerin der Liebe, die erst ›fällt‹, wenn sie angerufen wird, ewige Verliererin – von der ein philosophischer Strolch im Drama sagt: ›Die kann von der Liebe nicht leben, weil ihr Leben die Liebe ist.‹ Daß der Freudenquell in dieser engen Welt zur Pandora-Büchse werden muß: diesem unendlichen Bedauern scheint mir die Dichtung zu entstammen«, sagte und schrieb Karl Kraus 1905 zu der von ihm organisierten Uraufführung des zweiten Teils in einer einmaligen, geschlossenen Vorstellung in Wien.
