        Chosen peoples

        The Bible, race and empire in the long nineteenth century

        by Gareth Atkins, Shinjini Das, Brian Murray

        Chosen peoples demonstrates how biblical themes, ideas and metaphors shaped racial, national and imperial identities in the long nineteenth century. Even as radical new ideas challenged the historicity of the Bible, biblical notions of lineage, descent and inheritance continued to inform understandings of race, nation and empire. European settler movements portrayed 'new' territories across the seas as lands of Canaan, but if many colonised and conquered peoples resisted the imposition of biblical narratives, they also appropriated biblical tropes to their own ends. These innovative case-studies throw new light on familiar areas such as slavery, colonialism and the missionary project, while forging exciting cross-comparisons between race, identity and the politics of biblical translation and interpretation in South Africa, Egypt, Australia, America and Ireland.

        Translating Petrarch in early modern Britain

        Canzoniere and Triumphi, c. 1530–1650

        by Marie-Alice Belle, Riccardo Raimondo, Francesco Venturi

        Translating Petrarch in early modern Britain gathers twelve essays by international scholars focusing on the translation of Petrarch's vernacular verse (Canzoniere and Triumphi) into English, from the Tudor age to the mid-seventeenth century (and beyond). Approaching translation as an interpretive process, but also a mode of literary emulation and cultural engagement with Petrarch's prestigious precedent, the collection explores the complex and interconnected trajectories of both poetic works in English and Scottish literary milieux. While situating each translation in its distinct historical, material, and literary context, the essays trace the reception of Petrarch's works in early modern Britain through the combined processes of linguistic and metric innovation, literary imitation, musical adaptation and cultural and material 'domestication'. The collection sheds light on the origins and development of early modern English Petrarchism as part of wider transnational - and indeed, translational-European literary culture.

        Sprache, Zeichen, Interpretation

        by Günter Abel

        In diesem Buch geht es darum, die interpretationsbestimmten Grundlagen der Verständigung, des Weltbezugs und des Handelns in Lebenswelt, Wissenschaft, Ethik und Kunst herauszuarbeiten. Da sich alle Wissenschaften, Künste und Handlungen in sprachlichen und nichtsprachlichen Zeichen vollziehen und daher immer schon auf Interpretationsprozesse bezogen sind, läßt sich der Ansatz in diesen Bereichen zur Analyse der Grundlagen und der interdisziplinären Zusammenhänge heranziehen.

        Wahrheit und Interpretation

        by Donald Davidson, Dieter Henrich, Niklas Luhmann, Joachim Schulte, Friedhelm Herborth

        Die Kernfrage der heutigen analytischen Philosophie, die Frage, die sie von allen früheren und allen konkurrierenden philosophischen Ansätzen abhebt, ist die Frage nach dem Wesen der Bedeutung sprachlicher Ausdrücke. Davidson zeigt, daß eine Theorie der von ihm ins Auge gefaßten Art empirischen Charakter hat, ihre Axiome und Lehrsätze also gesetzesartig sein müssen. Wie die Theorie für sprachphilosophische Einzelprobleme fruchtbar gemacht werden kann, demonstriert Davidson in Aufsätzen über das Problem der Übersetzung, die Möglichkeiten und Schwierigkeiten des Zitierens, das Verhältnis von Glauben und Bedeutung, Sprache und Wirklichkeit sowie in seinen Auseinandersetzungen mit Quine und Dummett, Carnap und Church, Chomsky und Frege.

        Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams

        by Laura Marcus

        Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, published in 1900, has been one of the most influential texts of the modern era, fundamentally changing the ways in which people have thought about their waking lives as well as their dreams. This book, more than any other in Freud's massive oeuvre, has shaped a vast amount of work in linguistics and semiotics, literary studies, film theory, psychology, philosophical hermeneutics and the history of ideas. This influence is reflected in the editor's introduction, which includes a substantial discussion of the theory and practice of representation, and the six essays specially commissioned for this volume. The contributors are renowned for their knowledge of Freudian theory and for their interdisciplinary expertise in a wide range of fields. They examine, for example, the relationship of Freud's text to theories of interpretation, autobiography and literary production. The book as a whole gives a clear sense both of the context of Freud's text and of its influence throughout the twentieth century. This volume is an ideal introduction to Freud's work for students and teachers of English and other literatures, philosophy and social and cultural studies, as well as the wider audience concerned with psychoanalysis and its cultural ramifications. ;

        Urban transformations and public health in the emergent city

        by Michael Keith, Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos, Susan Parnell

        The imperatives of public health shaped our understanding of the cities of the global north in the first industrial revolutions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are doing so again today, reflecting new geographies of the urban age of the twenty-first. Emergent cities in parts of the globe experiencing most profound urban growth face major problems of economic, ecological and social sustainability when making sense of new health challenges and designing policy frameworks for public health infrastructures. The rapid evolution of complex 'systems of systems' in today's cities continually reconfigure the urban commons, reshaping how we understand urban public health, defining new problems and drawing on new data tools for analysis that work from the historical legacies and geographical variations that structure public health systems.

        Interpreting rock movies

        Pop Film and Its Critics in Britain

        by Andrew Caine

        Andrew Caine details the reaction to British and American pop films during the 1950s and 1960s. By examining the British reception of films such as Rock Around the Clock, Love Me Tender, A Hard Day's Night and Summer Holiday the book provides a valuable insight into British film criticism, teenage culture during the 1950s and 1960s and the generic status of rock films/teen movies and cultural hierarchies. Interpreting rock movies not only contains an extensive account of how the film and music press reacted to rock 'n roll films, but also fully explores issues about taste and distinction within reviewing practices. The movie output of Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and numerous others is located within the context of popular music during the 1950s and 1960s.

        Borrowed objects and the art of poetry

        Spolia in Old English verse

        by Denis Ferhatovic

        This study examines Exeter riddles, Anglo-Saxon biblical poems (Exodus, Andreas, Judith) and Beowulf in order to uncover the poetics of spolia, an imaginative use of recycled fictional artefacts to create sites of metatextual reflection. Old English poetry famously lacks an explicit ars poetica. This book argues that attention to particularly charged moments within texts - especially those concerned with translation, transformation and the layering of various pasts - yields a previously unrecognised means for theorising Anglo-Saxon poetic creativity. Borrowed objects and the art of poetry works at the intersections of materiality and poetics, balancing insights from thing theory and related approaches with close readings of passages from Old English texts.

        Philosophie und Interpretation

        Vorlesungen zur Entwicklung konstruktionistischer Interpretationsansätze. Überarbeitet unter Mitwirkung von Ekaterini Kaleri

        by Hans Lenk, Ekaterini Kaleri

        Bisher ist es nicht gelungen, einen einheitlichen Begriff für empirische Wissenschaften, Formalwissenschaften und normative Disziplinen zu entwickeln, der geeignet wäre, die seit dem letzten Jahrhundert aufgebrochene Kluft zwischen den Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften zu überbrücken. Hans Lenk nimmt vorliegende philosophische Deutungen des Interpretationsbegriffs und des Interpretierens als Tätigkeit in Auswahl auf, um auf eine systematische Erfassung des konstruktiven Charakters und der praktischen Gebrauchs- und Anwendungsaspekte des Interpretierens unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer Vereinheitlichung der Problembehandlung in der Alltagserkenntnis und in den Disziplinen sowohl der Natur- wie der Geisteswissenschaften hinzulenken. Seit zwei Jahrzehnten hat Lenk einen Ansatz der Interpretationskonstrukte beim Handlungs-, Motivations- und Vernunftbegriff konzipiert, der hier verallgemeinert wird. So wird in Anknüpfung an Kants transzendentalen Idealismus und Nietzsches perspektivische Philosophie der Interpretationen ein eigener methodologischer Interpretationskonstruktionismus entwickelt, der die methodologischen Probleme und Fragen der Konstruktivität bzw. Schemaanwendung der Interpretationen in den Vordergrund rückt. (Die Frage der Vereinbarkeit von Interpretationskonstruktionismus und Realismus wird in einem für 1994 vorgesehenen Band – »Interpretation und Realität« – genauer analysiert und beantwortet.)

        Gendered urban violence among Brazilians

        Painful truths from Rio de Janeiro and London

        by Cathy McIlwaine, Paul Heritage, Miriam Krenzinger Azambuja, Moniza Rizzini Ansari, Eliana Sousa Silva, Yara Evans

        This book aims to examine the nature of and resistance to gendered urban violence among Brazilian women in London and in the favelas of Maré, Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on the conceptualisation of translocational gendered urban violence framework, it highlights the importance of examining direct forms of gender-based violence across private, public and transnational spheres as interlinked with structural, symbolic and infrastructural violence. The book also explores the embodied and spatialised nature of gendered urban violence, explored through artistic engagements and arts-based methods. In developing a translocational feminist tracing methodological and epistemological approach across the social sciences and the arts, the book argues for the importance of a collaborative approach among academic, civil society organisations, artists and creative researchers with a view to engendering empathetic transformation to address gendered urban violence in the long-term.

        Interpretation und Lebensroman

        Zu einer konstruktivistischen Literaturtheorie

        by Bernd Scheffer

        Mittlerweile gibt es in der Literaturwissenschaft zwar vielfältig Erklärungen, wie Produktion und Rezeption von Literatur als historische und gesellschaftliche Phänomene zu denken wären, man hat aber wenig genaue Vorstellungen davon, was beim Schreiben und Lesen von Literatur im eigenen »Kopf« und gerade auch in den »Köpfen« der anderen (der Autoren, der Leser) vorzugehen scheint. Eine zentrale These dieses Buches lautet: Wir nehmen die Welt und die Literatur wahr in einer endlos autobiographischen Tätigkeit; Wirklichkeits-Konstruktionen (und Textbedeutungen) werden in einem Prozeß der Selbstbeschreibung erzeugt und aufrechterhalten. Die konstruktivistische Parallelität von Wahrnehmung, Erkenntnis, Wissen und schließlich auch von Interpretation zeigt: die genauere Untersuchung der »Gegenstände« von Welt und Literatur bringt primär die Eigenschaften von Beobachtern zum Vorschein, nicht die der »Gegenstände«. Wir entdecken nicht die »Realität« oder die der »Realität« opponierende ästhetische Gegensetzung, sondern die eigenen Wirklichkeits-Konstruktionen. Die Diskurs-Regeln, die Konstruktions-Regeln, die Konventionalität, die Kompetenz, aber auch der Mut und die Ängste des Literatur-Beobachters kommen jetzt verstärkt zum Vorschein – und nicht »Texte« als inhaltlich weitgehend stabile Vorgaben.

        Zeichen und Interpretation V

        by Werner Stegmaier

        Der Titel »Zeichen-Kunst« zielt zum einen auf die Kunst des alltäglichen Zeichen-Gebrauchs, zum anderen auf die Kunst als Zeichen-Kunst. Zum dritten geht es darum, was beide füreinander bedeuten. Das ist, in ihrer Allgemeinheit, eine philosophische Frage und innerhalb der Philosophie eine Frage der Ersten Philosophie. Sie wird - in der Reihe »Zeichen und Interpretation«, deren v. Band hier vorgelegt wird - durch eine Philosophie des Zeichens und der Interpretation beantwortet, in der der Gedanke gereift ist, daß alles, was wir verstehen, Zeichen sind.
