        Die Gespenster von Berlin

        Unheimliche Geschichten

        by Sarah Khan

        Ein Gespenst geht um in Friedrichshain und setzt teure Autos in Brand. Ein politisch motivierter Sühneakt? Sarah Khan geht der Sache nach und macht in alten Archiven der Stadt eine fürchterliche Entdeckung: Im Tunnel des Stettiner Bahnhofs, heute Nordbahnhof, wurden 1945 verwundete Wehrmachtssoldaten ermordet. Im Mietshaus in Prenzlauer Berg will niemand lange wohnen bleiben, auch Sarah Khans Freundin Heike nicht. Durchs Treppenhaus spukt eine im Zweiten Weltkrieg verhungerte Klavierlehrerin. Wer war diese Frau? Sarah Khan sucht in alten Berliner Adressbüchern, auf Deportationslisten und findet ihren Namen schließlich im Totenbuch der Elias-Gemeinde aus dem Jahr 1945. Ob mal jemand was gehört hat, von Spukhäusern, unerklärlichen Vorkommnissen? hat Sarah Khan Freunde und Bekannte, zugezogene und alteingesessene Berliner gefragt. Die Auskünfte haben es in sich. Haarsträubende Ereignisse, unerklärliche Vorkommnisse, jenseitige Erfahrungen. Die Gespenster haben eine Botschaft, sagt Sarah Khan, sie macht sich zur Vermittlerin. Mit Geschichten, die uns Schauer über den Rücken jagen. "Sarah Khan forscht Gespenstern nach und fördert deutsche Geschichte zutage. Meisterhaft recherchiert, großartig geschrieben, zutiefst unheimlich." Daniel Kehlmann

        Entfremdung bei Perversionen

        by M. Masud R. Khan, Waltrud Klüwer

        Karl Marx und Sigmund Freud haben die Krankheit der westlichen jüdisch-christlichen Kultur als Entfremdung diagnostiziert – Marx als Entfremdung der Menschen von der Gesellschaft, Freud als Entfremdung der Menschen von sich selbst. »In diesem Buch möchte ich zeigen, daß der Perverse ein unpersönliches Objekt zwischen sein Verlangen und seinen Komplizen schiebt. Dieses Objekt kann eine stereotype Phantasie, ein Fetisch oder eine pornografische Darstellung sein. Alle drei entfremden den Perversen sowohl von sich selbst als auch – leider – vom Objekt seines Verlangens. Daher der Titel dieses Buches: »Entfremdung bei Perversionen«.« Im Zentrum der theoretischen Überlegungen Masud Khans steht die Auffassung, daß wir es bei Perversionen mit den Folgen einer aufgrund von Fehlentwicklungen in der Beziehungen zwischen Mutter und Kind mißlungenen Integration des Ichs zu tun haben. In verschiedenen Zusammenhängen führt Masud Khan diese Fehlentwicklung auf eine Idolisierung des Kindes durch die Mutter zurück, eine Idolisierung, die es dem Kind unmöglich macht, Übergangsobjekte zu finden und zu benutzen. Erfahrungen aus einer Reihe von Analysen haben Masud Khan darüber hinaus zu der Überzeugung geführt, daß die von Freud verworfene Theorie der tatsächlichen Verführung, die eine akute Spaltung im Ich erzeuge, wiederbelebt werden sollte. In Übereinstimmung mit den Auffassungen Phyllis Greenacres sagt er, daß es dabei nicht so sehr auf ein einzelnes Ereignis ankommt als vielmehr auf einen bestimmten Modus psychophysischer Intimität zwischen Eltern und Kind. Ein großer Vorzug dieses Buches besteht darin, daß Masud Khan auch die Quellen seiner theoretischen Überlegungen ausführlich darstellt: eine Fülle von Material aus seiner reichen klinischen Erfahrung.

        Rodrigo Ximenez de Rada’s Minor Histories

        by Aymenn Al-Tamimi

        This work provides the first complete English translation of works by Toledan archbishop Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada (1170-1247 CE), whose 'Minor Histories' are sequels to his larger 'Gothic History' and thus round off his grand history of Spain project that he began at the request of King Ferdinand III. The 'Minor Histories' include Rodrigo's 'History of the Arabs' that can be considered the first surviving Western monograph focused on Arab and Islamic history and thus occupies a unique position in the medieval Latin corpus of writings. In addition to the translation, this book provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the life and works of Rodrigo, making sense of the context in which he wrote and his historical method. The translations are thoroughly annotated including cross-references to other Latin and Arabic sources for comparison.

        The Artist of the Future Age: William Blake, Neo-Romanticism, Counterculture and Now

        by Douglas Field

        This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to William Blake. It explores the British and European reception of Blake's work from the late nineteenth century to the present day, with a particular focus on the counterculture. Opening with two articles by the late Michael Horovitz, an important figure in the 'Blake Renaissance' of the 1960s, the issue goes on to investigate the ideological struggle over Blake in the early part of the twentieth century, with particular reference to W. B. Yeats. This is followed by articles on the artistic avant-garde and underground of the 1960s and on Blake's significance for science fiction authors of the 1970s. The issue closes with an article on the contemporary Belgian art collective maelstrÖm reEvolution.

        The Aldine Edition of the Ancient Greek Epistolographers: Roots and Legacy

        by Julene Abad Del Vecchio

        This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to the Aldine edition of the Ancient Greek epistolographers. Published in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, the Aldine edition was the first printed edition of most of the thirty-six Greek letter collections that it contains. As such, it embodies the intersection between the medieval epistolary anthologies that predated it and the printed editions of Greek epistolographic collections that followed, which were primarily based on its text. In recent decades, the Aldien edition has been the subject of important works, which have sought to analyse its contents and sources. This issue explores the Aldine edition from three perspectives: its relationship to the epistolary collections found in medieval manuscripts, its relationship to the printed editions that followed it and its legacy and value for the modern scholar studying Ancient Greek epistolography.

        The Library and archive collections of the University of Aberdeen

        An introduction and description

        by Edited by Iain Beaven, Peter Davidson and Jane Stevenson

        This volume commences with the the books and manuscripts given at the foundation of King's College in 1495, continues with the collections which accrued to Marischal College from its foundation in 1593, and comes together with the fusion of the two colleges in 1860 in the modern University of Aberdeen. From the beginning, the scope and focus of the University was international, and its developing collections represent a microcosm of the world of knowledge as it changed over the centuries. The University Colleges of Aberdeen have a distinct intellectual tradition: pragmatically tolerant in times of persecution; dissident from the religious and political policies of the Lowlands; looking outwards to the world of northern Europe and to the territories of the Jacobite diaspora. The book introduces one of the oldest continually-evolving academic library collections of the Anglophone world, surveys its history and includes a series of studies of items or collections of particular interest. ;
