        Reading popular fiction

        by Scott McCracken

        Pulp brings together in one volume chapters on the best seller, detective fiction, popular romance, science fiction and horror. It combines a lucid and accessible account of the cultural theories that have informed the study of popular fiction with detailed readings of Jackie Collins, Jilly Cooper, Colin Dexter, William Gibson, Stephen King, Iain Banks, Terry McMillan and Walter Mosley. Scott Mc Cracken argues that popular fiction serves a vital function: it provides us with the means to construct a workable sense of self in the face of the disorientating pressures of modernity. ;

        A queer scrapbook

        Britain and Ireland since 1945

        by Justin Bengry, Matt Cook, Rebecca Jennings, E-J Scott

        A beautifully illustrated compendium of LGBTIQ+ life. A queer scrapbook offers a treasure trove of LGBTIQ+ histories from across Britain and Ireland. Packed with materials, from interviews and newspaper articles to photographs and flyers, the book explores urban, rural and regional queer life since 1945. Commentaries and short essays introduce a changing queer landscape, spotlighting four broad themes: home and family, sex and socialising, arts and culture and politics and activism. The book delves into the meaning and experiences of domesticity and parenting and explores the sometimes unexpected places LGBTIQ+ people met to have fun. It examines the importance of creative work in forming community and identity and shows how people fought injustice and advocated for equal rights. Collecting has been a way for the marginalised to explore and assert identity and community. A queer scrapbook vividly illustrates the diversity of queer and trans lives across the British and Irish isles since the Second World War.

        Love and anti-Judaism in medieval English romance

        Typologies of violence and desire

        by Hope Doherty-Harrison

        Love and anti-Judaism is a new examination of medieval romance for the questions it poses of the most significant events in Christian history. Providing new readings of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Orfeo, Sir Gowther and Sir Amadace, the book argues that romance explores depictions of love-and the sacrifices it may necessitate-in the Hebrew Bible, especially where they do not easily fit into interpretations asserting that this history must prefigure Christ and the crucifixion. An examination of anti-Judaism as a discourse of violence and desire that could be turned inwardly to expose the irresolution in Christianity, this book will provoke new investigations into the religious crises of medieval romance.

        Zerbrochene Länder

        Wie die arabische Welt aus den Fugen geriet

        by Scott Anderson, Paolo Pellegrin, Laura Su Bischoff

        »So ist also die Frage beantwortet, ob man das aktuelle Chaos in der arabischen Welt in einem einzigen journalistischen Stück erfassen kann. Man kann. Scott Anderson kann es sogar grandios.« Die Zeit »Die hellsichtigste, kraftvollste und menschlichste Erklärung dessen, was in der Region passiert ist, die Sie jemals lesen werden.« The New York Times Magazine »Manchmal fließt die Geschichte der Menschheit bedächtig vor sich hin, manchmal bewegt sie sich sehr schnell.« Diesen Satz formulierte Muammar al-Gaddafi 2002 gegenüber Scott Anderson. Tatsächlich hat sich die Geschichte im Nahen Osten überschlagen, seit die USA 2003 im Irak einmarschiert sind: 2011 weckte der Arabische Frühling Hoffnungen, doch bald versanken Länder wie Syrien und der Irak im Chaos, von dem wiederum der Islamische Staat profitierte. Millionen Menschen flohen aus Syrien in Nachbarstaaten und nach Europa. Anhand der Erlebnisse von sechs Menschen schildert Anderson die Geschichte einer zerbrechenden Region. Er begleitet den jungen Iraker Wakaz, der sich vorübergehend dem IS anschließt, Laila, die Witwe eines prominenten ägyptischen Menschenrechtsanwalts, deren Sohn innerhalb kurzer Zeit von drei Regimes inhaftiert wird, und Majd, den seine Flucht von Homs über das Mittelmeer bis nach Dresden führt. Illustriert wird Andersons Großreportage mit Aufnahmen des renommierten Fotografen Paolo Pellegrin. Ein einmaliges zeitgeschichtliches Dokument.

        The emotions in liberal writing, c.1790–c.1920

        by Jock Macleod, Peter Denney, William Christie

        This volume of essays from a selection of distinguished international scholars is the first of its kind to explore in depth the emotional dimensions of liberal writing in Britain over the long nineteenth century. Addressing liberal writing in the public sphere rather than high political or parliamentary liberalism, it comprises a clear, context-setting introduction and eleven substantive chapters. The chapters analyse key texts and figures from the 1790s through to the 1920s and offer several different approaches to the central concern with the emotions and liberalism. These include examining the place of the emotions in the 'good life'; the social and political function of the emotions; emotional rhetoric in liberal writing; and liberal theories of the emotions. Both individually and as a collection, the essays provide an essential foundation for further scholarly work in this emerging field.

        A new genre for television?

        Creativity in historical drama documentary

        by Justin Hardy

        In A New Genre for Television?, filmmaker Justin Hardy argues the dramatised history documentaries broadcast by British public service channels in the 2000s constituted a distinct television genre. Offering a vital distinction between docudramas and drama documentaries, Hardy contributes to the field of television history through exclusive interviews with key figures from BBC and Channel 4 - many of whom have never been publicly interviewed before - and envisions a future model for the portrayal of national histories on screen.

        Der große Gatsby

        by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Reinhard Kaiser

        New York in den 'Goldenen Zwanzigern': Man tanzt Charleston und Black Bottom und begeistert sich für Duke Ellington und Louis Armstrong. Der geheimnisumwitterte Jay Gatsby hat alles, was man mit Geld kaufen kann, und führt ein Leben im Überfluß. Die rauschenden Feste auf seinem märchenhaften Anwesen auf Long Island sind berühmt und ein beliebter Treffpunkt der New Yorker High-Society. Dennoch ist Gatsby ein Einzelgänger, der zurückgezogen lebt. Niemand weiß etwas über seine Herkunft oder welchen dubiosen Geschäften er seinen Reichtum verdankt. Die Geschichte von Jay Gatsby, dem einsamen Millionär, der seiner längst verlorenen Liebe nachjagt, ist einer der größten und meistgelesenen Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur. F. Scott Fitzgerald, der Dichter der 'Roaring Twenties', erzählt von der Glamourwelt der Reichen und von der Oberflächlichkeit und Sinnlosigkeit des mondänen Lebens. In der glanzvollen Neuübersetzung von Reinhard Kaiser ist dieser Roman neu zu entdecken - in seiner Dramatik, seiner Tragik, seiner Eleganz und nicht zuletzt auch in seiner Komik.
