In den in diesem Band enthaltenen Texten wird nicht lediglich über bestimmte Figuren und Trends der zeitgenössischen französischen Philosophie und über deren Verbindung zu Deutschland gesprochen, Waldenfels kommt es vielmehr darauf an, mit solchen französischen Autoren und Texten weiterzudenken, die ihrerseits entscheidende Anregungen der deutschsprachigen Philosophie verdanken.
The Book of Souls A "Dorian Gray" story about the power of imagesFor generations, Elsie's family has owned a photography studio. Elsie loves the old cameras and the historic photographs; she is particularly taken with the portrait of the young lord Aidan Storm. Every now and then, she even tells the picture about her worries. What she doesn't know is that he can actually hear her. When Aidan's photo disappears from the album one day, Elsie is inconsolable. But then the young lord suddenly reappears. On Instagram, of all places - and then she meets him in real life.Aidan Storm was born in 1873 and there is a centuries-old curse on his family. With every newborn, a new ghost is born into the world. Aidan sets out to break the curse and recapture the spirits, using the new technology of photography to help him. Until Aidan himself gets captured in a photo that is found 120 years later by John's great-great-granddaughter Elsie. But who has summoned Aidan and the other ghosts that suddenly haunt modern Edinburgh back to reality? And why?Told in two time levels, the story alternates between the perspective of Elsie in modern-day Edinburgh and Aidan at the end of the 19th century. Like in Emma and the Forgotten Book, Mechthild Gläser takes inspiration from a 19th-century classic and brings the portrait of a young man quickly to life, in a modern-day story about the power of images. • Urban fantasy story combined with a tender, humorous love story• The Picture of Dorian Gray meets Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children• Set in picturesque Edinburgh • By internationally successful Mechthild Gläser (SERAPH Fantasy Award), who has been published in 14 languages
»Versprechen auf Deutsch« bietet die erweiterte Version der Rede, die Peter Sloterdijk in einer Matinee der Münchner Kammerspiele am Sonntag, dem 10. Dezember 1989, gehalten hat. Es versteht sich von selbst, daß die dramatischen Vorgänge des November 1989 den Bezugsrahmen für sämtliche Aussagen des vorliegenden Textes bilden. Die aktuellen Ergebnisse haben es unvermeidlich gemacht, diese Rede »über« das eigene Land als Rede »an« die deutsche Nation vorzutragen. Eine solche Adressierung folgt nicht so sehr dem fragwürdigen rhetorischen Vorbild Fichtes; sie ergibt sich vielmehr aus den Überlegungen des Autors über den Zusammenhang zwischen Sprache und Nationalität. Die historischen Umstände von 1989 sind nicht weniger bemerkenswert als die von 1808. Aber es liegt heute in der Natur der Sache, daß man sich »an« die Angehörigen einer wieder unruhig gewordenen Nation wenden muß, um etwas »über« die zu sagen.
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. ;
