May 2023Divisible by Itself and One / Teilbar durch sich selbst und eins
by Kae Tempest, Rike Scheffler
Der neue Gedichtband von Kae Tempest ist eine Öffnung: Nach der Einsamkeit und dem Stillstand der Corona-Jahre, nach dem Coming-out als nicht-binär/trans erzählt Tempest ehrlich und präzise von Verletzlichkeit und Selbstentblößung, von Zweifel und Hoffnung. Von unerfüllbaren Rollenerwartungen und der Ablehnung des eigenen Körpers, von der Flucht in den Rausch und dem Glück, wenn sich zwei Hände am Rand einer Bühne überraschend begegnen. Vom seltsamen Anblick der*des kranken Geliebten, nackt über eine Schüssel gebeugt, kurz vor der Trennung. Von der Kraft der Veränderung und dem lange entbehrten Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit und Gemeinschaft. Denn wo, wenn nicht dort, wäre Halt zu finden. Schon durch das Wissen: Man ist nicht allein. – »I’m right beside you.«

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2024Out of his mind
Masculinity and mental illness in Victorian Britain
by Amy Milne-Smith
Out of His Mind interrogates how Victorians made sense of the madman as both a social reality and a cultural representation. Even at the height of enthusiasm for the curative powers of nineteenth-century psychiatry, to be certified as a lunatic meant a loss of one's freedom and in many ways one's identify. Because men had the most power and authority in Victorian Britain, this also meant they had the most to lose. The madman was often a marginal figure, confined in private homes, hospitals, and asylums. Yet as a cultural phenomenon he loomed large, tapping into broader social anxieties about respectability, masculine self-control, and fears of degeneration. Using a wealth of case notes, press accounts, literature, medical and government reports, this text provides a rich window into public understandings and personal experiences of men's insanity.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2025Out of the depths
The first collection of Holocaust songs
by Joseph Toltz, Anna Boucher
Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima'amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima'amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs' melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a 'memorial stone for Polish Jewry', the songbook is a timeless document of a people's despair, hope and strength.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2008Every Man Out of His Humour
Ben Jonson
by David Bevington, Helen Ostovich, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
Despite its popularity when it first appeared in print in 1600, Every Man out of His Humour has never appeared as a single modern critical edition until now. The volume's introduction and annotations convey early modern obsessions with wealth and self-display by providing historical contexts and pointing out the continuity of those obsessions into modern life. The play is of interest because of its influence on the course of city comedy and its wealth of information about social relationships and colloquial language at the end of Elizabeth's reign. Jonson's experiments in generating theatrical meaning continued throughout his career, but Every Man out of His Humour - with its youthful vigour and extraordinary visualizations of the urban capacity for self-deceit - is a text that enriches the understanding of all the plays that come after it. ;

The Independent Group and popular culture
by Anne Massey, Christopher Breward, Bill Sherman
The Independent Group is now the subject of global scholarly interest, and this book, a sequel to The Independent Group: Modernism and mass culture in Britain, 1945-59, explores the Anglo-American phenomenon from a new perspective. The Group included fine artists Magda Cordell, Richard Hamilton, Nigel Henderson, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull; architects Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling and Colin St John Wilson; graphic designer Edward Wright; music producer Frank Cordell; and writers Lawrence Alloway, Reyner Banham, John McHale and Toni del Renzio. This radical collective met at the ICA in London during the early 1950s, and worked with and within the new world of both the avant-garde and popular culture. This sequel includes an in-depth discussion of the recent historiography of the Independent Group, and examines its history from an alternative perspective - that of popular culture. The themes of domestic space, Hollywood film, fashion, mass-circulation magazines, science-fiction and popular music are explored, broadening our general understanding. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2002The rise of the Nazis
by Conan Fischer, Mark Greengrass
How and why did the Nazis seize power in Germany? Nearly seventy years on, the question remains heated and important discoveries continue to challenge long standing assumptions. Beginmning with an overview of the historical context within which Nazism grew, looking at the foreign relations, politics and society of Weimar and in particular at the role of the elites in the rise of Nazism. The book questions the anatomy of Nazism itself: What lent Nazi ideology its coherence and credibility? What distinguished the Nazi's programme from their competitors' and how did they project it so effectively? How was Hitler able to put together and fund an organisation so quickly and effectively that it could launch a sustained assault on Weimar? Who supported the Nazis and what were their motives? Where, precisely, does Nazism belong in the history of Europe?. Since the publication of the first edition, important new works have appeared and this new scholarship has been incorporated into the text. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2025Growing up and going out
Youth culture, commerce, and leisure space in post-war Britain
by Sarah Kenny
In the decades following the Second World War, youthful sociability was remade as young people across Britain flocked to newly-opened coffee bars, beat clubs, and discos. These spaces, increasingly unknown and unfamiliar to the adults who passed by them, played a remarkable role in reshaping town and city centres after dark as sites of leisure and recreation. Telling the history of youth in post-war Britain from the ground up, through the towns and cities that young people moved through, this book traces how the new spaces of post-war youth leisure transformed both young people's relationship with their local environment and adults' perceptions of the possibilities and dangers of modern leisure. Growing up and going out offers a timely study of youth, commerce, and leisure that explores the reimagination, remaking, and regulation of the post-war city after dark.

September 2014Auswilderung
Roman
by Bettina Suleiman
Freizeit? Schlaf? Kein Kommentar. Dafür lebt Marina mit Anfang Dreißig den Traum einer ganzen Forschergeneration. Für ein Millionenprojekt der UN experimentieren sie und ihr Mentor Griffin mit Gorillas, die zwar wie Menschen aufwachsen. Aber sollten Gorillas auch Rechte haben? Was wären die Konsequenzen? Marina driftet immer tiefer ab in die Welt ihres Mentors, die von Fördergeldern bewegt wird. Im letzten Moment beschließt sie zu handeln – und manipuliert die Forschungsergebnisse. Auf einer Insel im Roten Meer läuft die Auswilderung der Tiere an. Das Problem: Die Gorillas wollen ihre Freiheit nicht mehr; einige werden depressiv; bald schon der erste Todesfall. Die UN macht Druck. Ihre Karriere, Griffin, alles steht vor dem Aus. Und Marina erkennt, dass sie viel weniger für die Freiheit der Gorillas kämpft als für ihre eigene. »Auswilderung« ist ein kühnes literarisches Debüt, wie es lange keines gab: Coming of Age in Zeiten des konditionierten Egoismus. Ein spannendes Porträt unserer Gegenwart, abgründig, unterhaltsam, bewusstseinserweiternd.
