        Werktage I

        Arbeitsbuch 1977-1989

        by Volker Braun

        Unbekanntes, hoch Wichtiges ist zu vermelden. Volker Braun hat, beginnend im Januar 1977, bis in die Gegenwart ein Werktagebuch geführt. Dessen erster Band, teils kurze, teils längere Notate, erlaubt nicht allein den erhellenden Einblick in die Werkstatt des »lauteren, spielwütigen Autors«. Solche Mitschriften des täglichen Lebens machen erfahrbar, wie Volker Braun sich und seine Arbeit, die Kollegen und die politische Situation – in Ost und West – sieht. Und seine Beobachtungen, mal giftig, mal ironisch, Reflexionen und Erzählungen zeigen erneut die Kunst dieses Dramatikers, Lyrikers und Prosaisten: Mit jedem Satz von ihm steigert er humoristisch-traurig die Einsicht in die Verbesserungswürdigkeit und Verbesserungsnotwendigkeit unserer Lage. In diesem Lebens-, Lese- und Arbeitsbuch ist also zu erfahren, wie Volker Braun nach der Publikation der Unvollendeten Geschichte – 1975 in der DDR, 1977 in der BRD – seine Dramen zum Druck befördert und auf die Bühne bringt, wie er listig den Hinze-und Kunze-Roman zuerst in Frankfurt und dann in Halle veröffentlicht, was die im Westen so alles mit ihm anstellen, warum er 1988 das Stück Lenins Tod schreibt, und im Jahr 1989 der erste Band seiner Werkausgabe erscheint.

        Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott

        by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram

        For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

        Carol Reed

        by Peter William Evans

        Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

        David Lean

        by Melanie Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        'A rule of mine is this', said William Goldman in 1983, 'there are always three hot directors and one of them is always David Lean.' One of the best known and most admired of British film makers, David Lean had a directorial career that spanned five decades and encompassed everything from the intimate black-and-white romance of Brief Encounter (1945) to the spectacular Technicolor epic of Lawrence of Arabia (1962). This book offers comprehensive coverage of every feature film directed by Lean, yielding new insights on the established classics of his career as well as its lesser-known treasures. Its analysis prioritises questions of gender and emphasises the often-overlooked but highly significant recurrence of female-centred narratives throughout Lean's career. Drawing extensively on archival historical materials while also presenting nuanced close readings of individual films, David Lean offers a fascinating and original account of the work of a remarkable British film maker. ;

        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin

        This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

        David and Bathsheba

        By George Peele

        by Mathew R. Martin, David Bevington

        David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

        Spielarten der Bezugnahme

        by Gareth Evans, John McDowell, Joachim Schulte, Catrin Misselhorn, Ulrike Ramming

        Gareth Evans, einer der brillantesten Philosophen seiner Generation, starb 1980 im Alter von nur 34 Jahren. In seinem unvollendeten Meisterwerk Die Vielfalt der Referenz entwickelt Evans im Ausgang von Frege und Russell eine Theorie des Bezugs und der Bezugnahme im Rahmen einer umfassenderen Theorie des Verstehens und Denkens. John McDowell hat das Manuskript nach Evans' Tod für die Publikation vorbereitet und mit einem Vorwort versehen. Nun ist es erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung zu entdecken: ein Meilenstein der jüngeren Philosophiegeschichte!

        Hexerei, Orakel und Magie bei den Zande

        Hexerei, Orakel und Magie bei den Zande

        by Edward E. Evans-Pritchard, Brigitte Luchesi, Eva Gillies

        Bei dem hier vorliegenden Band handelt es sich um eine von Eva Gillies gekürzte und eingeleitete Ausgabe des zuerst 1937 erschienenen großen Werkes »Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic among the Azande«, das den seither unbestrittenen Ruf des bedeutenden englischen Sozialanthropologen E.E. Evans-Pritchard (1902-1973) begründet hat. Diese Monographie gehört zu den umfangreichen Publikationen Evans-Pritchards, die eine Frucht der intensiven ethnologischen Felduntersuchungen darstellen, die er in den zwanziger und dreißiger Jahren im damals Anglo-Ägyptischen Sudan unternommen hat und in deren Verlauf er neben den Zande u. a. auch die Gesellschaften der Nuer, der Anuak und der Luo studiert hat. Evans-Pritchards Arbeit weist die innere Logik des Glaubens an Hexerei und Magie auf, eines Glaubens, der in der Vorstellungswelt und der gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit vieler afrikanischer Gesellschaften einen festen Platz hat. »Hexerei, Orakel und Magie bei den Zande« ist bahnbrechend für den Versuch geworden, fremde Denksysteme auf ihre eigene Logik hin zu untersuchen und ihre Grundvoraussetzungen explizit zu machen. Seit den fünfziger Jahren beeinflußt Evans-Pritchards Werk neben Ethnologen zunehmend auch Philosophen, Soziologen und Theologen. In ihrem Vorwort umreißt Eva Gillies die heutige Bedeutung des Buchs von Evans-Pritchard und beschreibt die soziale und politische Organisation der Zande um 1930, um dem Leser die Einordnung in den historischen Kontext zu ermöglichen.

        Frauen auf dem Land

        Eigenständige Landwirtinnen, stolze Sennerinnen, freiheitssuchende Sommerfrischler und viele andere von damals bis heute

        by Annegret Braun

        Frauen auf dem Land waren nicht nur für den Haushalt verantwortlich, sie arbeiteten ebenso auf dem Feld und im Stall wie die Männer. Es war ein hartes Leben, das nur wenig Raum für eigene Entfaltung bot. Doch es taten sich immer wieder auch Perspektiven auf, die Frauen für sich nutzten: Sie ließen sich zu Schneiderinnen, Lehrerinnen oder sogar Landärztinnen ausbilden, entwickelten Kunstfertigkeit in Handarbeit und Handwerk oder begannen zu schreiben. Die Bäuerinnen von heute sind längst in der modernen Welt angekommen und in vielen Bereichen erfolgreich tätig. Annegret Braun lässt die Geschichte dieser Frauen aufleben und führt uns durch 150 Jahre Landleben, von damals bis heute.

        Flickwerk

        by Volker Braun

        Flickwerk betreibt, wer Notlösungen für reale Probleme findet. Doch wie soll sich der anders verhalten, dem seine Existenzgrundlage genommen ist, der gar nicht oder »kurz« arbeitet? Wie sind ernst gemeinte Vorschläge eines Politikers zu verstehen, den »Tüchtigen und Tätigen« ein doppeltes Stimmrecht zu geben? Volker Braun, der die große Misere in den tagtäglichen Entscheidungen zwischen Erfurt, Kaiserslautern und Venezuela entziffert, teilt uns in Flickwerk 64 Episoden aus der katastrophischen Gegenwart mit, bei denen nicht zu entscheiden ist, ob man über unsere Situation weinen oder lachen soll. Flickwerk vereint in seinen Kurzreportagen die Tradition von Bertolt Brechts Geschichten von Herrn Keuner mit Thomas Bernhards Miniaturen im Stimmenimitator: Es entstellt auf diese Weise unsere Gegenwart zur Kenntlichkeit. Flickwerk belegt erneut die hohe Kunst des Schelmenschriftstellers Volker Braun, unsere Wirklichkeit so zu finden und zu erfinden, daß wir nicht entscheiden können, ob wir die Narren sind oder die Dummen uns vorführen.

        Postcolonial African cinema

        Ten directors

        by David Murphy, Patrick Williams

        This is the first introduction of its kind to an important cross-section of postcolonial African filmmakers from the 1950s to the present. Building on previous critical work in the field, this volume will bring together ideas from a range of disciplines - film studies, African cultural studies, and, in particular, postcolonial studies - in order to combine the in-depth analysis of individual films and bodies of work by individual directors with a sustained interrogation of these films in relation to important theoretical concepts. Structurally, the book is straightforward, though the aim is to incorporate diversity and complexity of approach within the overall simplicity of format. Chapters provide both an overview of the director's output to date, and the necessary background - personal or national, cultural or political - to enable readers to achieve a better understanding of the director's choice of subject matter, aesthetic or formal strategies, or ideological stance. They also offer a particular reading of one or more films, in which the authors aim to situate African cinema in relation to important critical and theoretical debates. This book thus constitutes a new departure in African film studies, recognising the maturity of the field, and the need for complex yet accessible approaches to it, which move beyond the purely descriptive while refusing to get bogged down in theoretical jargon. Consequently, the volume should be of interest not only to specialists but also to the general reader.

        The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia

        Engaging in everyday struggle

        by Alexandrina Vanke

        Despite the intense processes of deindustrialisation around the world, the working class continues to play an important role in post-industrial societies. However, working-class people are often stigmatised, morally judged and depicted negatively in dominant discourses. This book challenges stereotypical representations of workers, building on research into the everyday worlds of working-class and ordinary people in Russia's post-industrial cities. The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia is centred on the stories of local communities engaged in the everyday struggles that occur in deindustrialising settings under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism. The book suggests a novel approach to everyday life in post-industrial cities. Drawing on an ethnographic study with elements of arts-based research, the book presents a new genre of writing about workers influenced by the avant-garde documentary tradition and working-class literature.
