        Child, nation, race and empire

        Child rescue discourse, England, Canada and Australia, 1850–1915

        by Margot Hillel, Shurlee Swain, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        Child, nation, race and empire is an innovative, inter-disciplinary, cross cultural study that contributes to understandings of both contemporary child welfare practices and the complex dynamics of empire. It analyses the construction and transmission of nineteenth-century British child rescue ideology. Locating the origins of contemporary practice in the publications of the prominent English Child rescuers, Dr Barnardo, Thomas Bowman Stephenson, Benjamin Waugh, Edward de Montjoie Rudolf and their colonial disciples and literature written for children, it shows how the vulnerable body of the child at risk came to be reconstituted as central to the survival of nation, race and empire. Yet, as the shocking testimony before the many official enquiries into the past treatment of children in out-of-home 'care' held in Britain, Ireland, Australia and Canada make clear, there was no guarantee that the rescued child would be protected from further harm.

        Hannah Arendt / Gershom Scholem Der Briefwechsel

        1939-1964

        by Gershom Scholem, Hannah Arendt, Marie Luise Knott, David Heredia

        »Juden sterben in Europa und man verscharrt sie wie Hunde.« So schließt der Brief, in dem Hannah Arendt im Oktober 1940 Gershom Scholem mitteilt, daß sich Walter Benjamin auf der Flucht vor den Nazis das Leben genommen hat. In Zeiten größter Bedrohung beginnt eine Korrespondenz, die getragen ist vom Engagement für das Werk des gemeinsamen Freundes und in der von New York und Jerusalem aus immer die Welt des europäischen Judentums im Blick bleiben wird. Im Auftrag der Jewish Cultural Reconstruction, deren Ziel die Rettung der von den Nazis geraubten jüdischen Kulturgüter ist, reisen Hannah Arendt wie auch Gershom Scholem in den frühen Nachkriegsjahren erstmals wieder nach Deutschland. Dieses weitgehend unbekannte Kapitel in beider Geschichte wird über die Briefe hinaus durch bislang unveröffentlichte Berichte Hannah Arendts von ihrer Deutschlandreise 1949/50 dokumentiert. 1963 erscheint Hannah Arendts Buch Eichmann in Jerusalem. Ihre darin geäußerte Kritik an jüdischen Repräsentanten während der Zeit der Shoah wird von Gershom Scholem in einer auch öffentlich ausgetragenen Kontroverse radikal verworfen: Der über mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte aufrechterhaltene Dialog in Briefen endet im Schweigen. Der erstmals publizierte Briefwechsel von Hannah Arendt und Gershom Scholem ist ein einzigartiges zeithistorisches Dokument: eine Auseinandersetzung über entscheidende Fragen jüdischer Geschichte und jüdisches Selbstverständnis nach der Shoah, geführt von zwei der bedeutendsten Denker deutsch-jüdischer Herkunft im 20. Jahrhundert.

        Manchester must dance

        A life of music, madness and moving on up

        by Mike Pickering, Paul Morley

        From Manchester's backstreets to global dancefloors - the untold story of a musical pioneer. Beginning on the night in November 1963 when his mum took him to see the Beatles live at Manchester's ABC Cinema, Mike Pickering takes the reader through sixty years of clubs, clothes, gigs, record labels, football matches and politics. Pickering has lived through decades of rapid change in popular music. As an influential DJ he introduced house music into the legendary Haçienda. He signed Happy Mondays and James to Factory Records before working with Kasabian, Gossip and Calvin Harris at Sony. His Mercury Prize-winning, multi-million-selling group M People transformed the music industry's attitude to dance music. As he tells his remarkable story he introduces an array of friends and collaborators, many of whom would become important - and sometimes notorious - figures in music history. Manchester must dance is a revelatory insider's account that moves from the cramped back streets of 1950s north Manchester on a journey deep into music, the city and the wider world. It features forewords from some of those Pickering inspired: Martin Fry, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher and Calvin Harris.

        by Thomas Wild

        Hannah Arendt ist eine der bedeutendsten Denkerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Den Zwängen der Zeit setzen ihr Leben und Denken eine Haltung der Unabhängigkeit und Freiheit entgegen.

        The child in Spanish cinema

        by Sarah Wright

        In this, the first full-length treatment of the child in Spanish cinema, Sarah Wright explores the ways that the cinematic child comes to represent 'prosthetic memory'. The central theme of the child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the self to the past, and to cinema. Concentrating on films from the 1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films, musicals, 'art-house horror', science-fiction, social realism and fantasy. It includes reference to Erice's The Spirit of The Beehive, del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Mañas's El Bola and the Marisol films. The book also draws on a century of filmmaking in Spain and intersects with recent revelations concerning the horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema. This book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in the areas of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies and cinema studies.

        Kid Normal / Kid Normal (2). Die Schurken sind los!

        by James, Greg; Smith, Chris

        Murphs Leben als Normalo-Superheld ist aufregend - und voller Fragen: Bekommt er jetzt ein Heldenkostüm? Einen Gürtel mit coolen Waffen? Oder zumindest einen Butler, der Ratschläge erteilt, wenn ihm das Heldendasein mal über den Kopf wächst? Inzwischen kennen Murph und die Supernullen die Antworten auf all diese Fragen. Sie lauten - in beliebiger Reihenfolge - nein, nein und nein. Als sich tief unter dem Gefängnis für abtrünnige Superhelden etwas Unheilvolles zusammenbraut, müssen die Supernullen ihre mehr oder weniger brauchbaren Kräfte vereinen. Denn die Elster, der größte Schurke, den die Welt je gesehen hat, verlangt nur eines: „Bringt mir Kid Normal!"
