The ArtsMay 2022Hyde Park
by James Shirley
by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens
Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

October 1989Revisionen
Philosophie und andere Künste und Wissenschaften
by Nelson Goodman, Catherine Z. Elgin, Bernd Philippi
Die Hinwendung zur Sprache und die fächerübergreifende Verbreitung der Semiotik sind Entwicklungen in der Philosophie, die Goodman für sein Werk so charakterisiert, »daß Kant die Struktur der Welt durch die Struktur des Geistes ersetzte, in deren Fortführung C.I. Lewis die Struktur der Begriffe an die Stelle der Struktur des Geistes treten ließ, und die nun schließlich dahin gekommen sind, die Struktur der Begriffe durch die Strukturen der verschiedenen Symbolsysteme der Wissenschaften, der Philosophie, der Künste, der Wahrnehmung und der alltäglichen Rede zu ersetzen«. In ihrem gemeinsamen Werk Revisionen plädieren Goodman und Elgin für eine umfassende Neuorientierung in der Philosophie und anderen Künsten und Wissenschaften. Das Buch beginnt mit einem Überblick über den augenblicklichen Stand im Prozeß der Neuorientierung. Revisionen stellt nicht nur einen Wechsel im begrifflichen Apparat vor, sondern eine umfassende Neuorientierung, die sich auf Interessen und Einstellungen auswirkt und methodologische Maximen einbezieht.

April 1997Sprachen der Kunst
Entwurf einer Symboltheorie
by Nelson Goodman, Bernd Philippi
"In diesem Werk untersucht Goodman unter anderem die Konventionalität der Perspektive; er formuliert eine Theorie der Metapher und ermöglicht vor dem Hintergrund seiner Theorie der Notation die Festlegung eines strengen Werkbegriffs. Das Neue in seiner Kunstphilosophie besteht jedoch in der Erkenntnis der bedeutenden Rolle der Exemplifikation; sie ist eine der wichtigen Weisen, in denen Kunstwerke funktionieren. Das Verfahren der Exemplifikation ist nicht nur von entscheidender Bedeutung etwa für das Verständnis abstrakter Kunst, es hat inzwischen auch scheinbar »entlegene« Disziplinen wie die Anthropologie erreicht, wo es zusammen mit der Denotation zur Beschreibung und Klassifikation rituellen Verhaltens erprobt wird."

The ArtsJanuary 2019Joseph Losey
by Colin Gardner
The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the 1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of seminal British films such as "Time Without Pity," "Eve," "The Servant," and "The Go-Between," which mark him as one of the cinema's greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on exile and the outsider's view of a class-bound society in crisis through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from cultural studies and poststructural theory, exploring and clarifying the films' uneasy tension between class and gender, and their explorations of fractured temporality.

Roman | Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta | Ein Buch wie ein schillernder Traum
by Tom McCarthy, Bernhard Robben
Serge Karrefax erblickt im ländlichen England kurz vor der Jahrhundertwende das Licht der Welt – und mit seinem Schicksal verwoben gleichsam das Zeitalter der Technologie und Kommunikation. Als Funker im Ersten Weltkrieg fliegt er über Frankreich, hofft im Londoner Untergrund der Swinging Twenties mithilfe technologischen Fortschritts die Toten anzufunken, und hilft schließlich im gerade unabhängig gewordenen Ägypten ein Funknetz zu errichten – bis sein Leben in einer altägyptischen Grabkammer eine unerwartete Wendung nimmt. Kommunikation, Krieg, Kokain, Krypta: K untersucht gnadenlos, unser Verlangen uns mitzuteilen, während Serge K. die Botschaft hinter allen Botschaften, das Signal hinter allen Signalen sucht. Dieses singulär originelle Buch selbst aber widersteht allen Versuchen, seinen Code zu knacken.

Biography & True StoriesFebruary 2024Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic since 1917
by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg, Alan Rice
Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

October 2023Post-Mortem
Autopsy stories: the unusual experiences of a pathologist
by Roland Sedivy
— True crime stories from the morgue — Famous deaths and autopsy stories resolved, such as Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and the case of Anne Greene, who survived her execution by hanging The post-mortem examination. A glimpse inside the interior of the human being. Many find the idea fascinating; for others it is creepy or even repugnant. There are still numerous myths and horror stories surrounding the autopsy, many of them associated with primal human fears such as that of being buried alive, which have existed since Antiquity. It is precisely for this reason that it is important to carry out the post-mortem examination with the utmost conscientiousness. Pathologist Roland Sedivy provides an exciting insight into his profession. Profound and with tremendous humour, he tells us about the early days of the autopsy, and shares with us some macabre and some mysterious cases.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2026Massacres in Early Modern Drama
by Georgina Lucas
Massacres in Early Modern Drama analyses the dynamically ambivalent meanings constructed by the language and action of massacre on the early modern stage. Informed by theories drawn from massacre studies, the monograph challenges orthodoxies about senseless violence, illuminates archaic forms of massacres, and attests to their brutally diverse stage representations. Anchored by the contention that the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre in Paris (1572) was instrumental to early modern understandings of massacre, the book uses this atrocity, and its most famous dramatic depiction - Christopher Marlowe's The Massacre at Paris - as a hook to explore larger concerns about massacre in plays by Robert Greene, George Chapman, John Fletcher, and William Shakespeare. Thus, Massacres in Early Modern Drama considers how early modern drama forms part of a continual cultural process of trying to piece together the contentious and traumatic phenomenon of massacre.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2025Love 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.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2026Black socialities
Urban resistance and the struggle beyond recognition in Paris
by Vanessa Eileen Thompson
From author: This is a cutting-edge exploration of black urban politics in Parisian racialized working class and working poor districts, the formation of abolition geography, and the possibilities of new forms of political blackness. In Black Socialities. Urban resistance and the struggle beyond recognition in Paris, Vanessa E. Thompson argues that black urban politics in the French banlieues are multi-racial and spatially grounded towards abolition. Based on a close engagement with urban black activist practices against racial imagery in the city, policing and state racism, and housing insecurity, she shows how radical anti-racism goes beyond struggles for recognition and unfolds alongside new formations of political blackness that is based on urban conviviality. This form of black politics has much to teach us in this current conjuncture of liberal anti-racism and state recognition politics.
