Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2013The Renaissance text
Theory, editing, textuality
by Andrew Murphy
This collection of essays focuses attention on the broad issue of Renaissance textuality. It explores such topics as the position of the reader relative to the text; the impact of editorial strategies and modes of presentation on our understanding of the text; the complexities of extended textual histories; and the relevance of gender to the process of textual retrieval and preservation. The essays, whilst informed by contemporary theory, are not dominated by a single programmatic viewpoint. Reflecting the multiplicitous nature of Renaissance textuality, the collection provides space for a variety of different positions and lines of analysis and enquiry. The Renaissance text will be of interest to those with specialist concerns in editing, textuality and bibliography, and will also be of interest to those more generally concerned with Renaissance literature or with textual or literary history. ;

Plays, playscriptsNovember 2016The Tragedy of Antigone, The Theban Princesse
by Thomas May
by Edited by Matteo Pangallo. Series edited by Paul Dean
Thomas May's The Tragedy of Antigone (1631), edited by Matteo Pangallo, is the first English treatment of the story made famous by Sophocles. This edition contains a facsimile of the copy held at the Beinecke Library of Yale University, making the play commercially available for the first time since its original publication. The extensive introduction discusses, among other things, the ownership history of existing copies and their marginal annotations, and of the play's topical political implications in the light of May's wavering between royalist and republican sympathies. Writing during the contentious early years of Charles I's reign, May used Sophocles' Antigone to explore the problems of just rule and justified rebellion. He also went beyond the scope of the original, adding content from a wide range of other classical and contemporary plays, poems and other sources, including Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. This volume will be essential reading for advanced students, researchers and teachers of early English drama and seventeenth-century political history.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2021Beyond text?
Critical practices and sensory anthropology
by Rupert Cox, Andrew Irving, Christopher Wright
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons () open access license. Beyond text? Critical practices and sensory anthropology is about the relationship between anthropological understandings of the world, sensory perception and aesthetic practices. It suggests that if different sensory experiences embody and facilitate different kinds of knowledge, then we need to develop new methods and more creative forms of representation that are not based solely around text or on correspondence theories of truth. The volume brings together leading figures in anthropology, visual and sound studies to explore how knowledge, sensation and embodied experiences can be researched and represented by combining different visual, aural and textual forms which it demonstrates through an accompanying DVD. The book and DVD make an argument for a necessary, critical development in anthropological ways of knowing that take place not merely at the level of theory and representation but also through innovative fieldwork methods and media practices.

Anrufung des Großen Bären | Ein Meilenstein der deutschsprachigen Lyrik nach 1945 | Erstmals mit ausführlichem Kommentar
by Ingeborg Bachmann, Luigi Reitani
Ingeborg Bachmanns zweite Lyriksammlung, Anrufung des Großen Bären (1956), enthält Verse, die wegen ihrer hohen Einprägsamkeit, der Kühnheit ihrer Metaphern und ihres zeitkritischen, ethisch motivierten Sprachgestus schon bei Erscheinen Aufsehen erregten und bald kanonisiert wurden. Es sind Gedichte, die radikale Fragen stellen und Themen wie Liebe, Selbstbestimmung, Verantwortung, Utopie mit scharfer denkerischer Freiheit in mitreißenden Klangbildern entfalten. Die neue Edition macht die raffiniert durchkomponierte Struktur der Sammlung sichtbar. Zum ersten Mal werden die Gedichte unter Berücksichtigung des Nachlasses ausführlich kommentiert und im kulturgeschichtlichen Diskurs der Zeit verortet. Das weitgespannte Netz von intertextuellen Bezügen, der Dialog mit Paul Celan, der philosophische Horizont, die Vielfalt an metrischen Formen, die verwickelte Editionsgeschichte und die kontroverse Rezeption werden exemplarisch dargestellt, so dass die Verse in ihrer unerschöpflichen Vitalität und Ausstrahlungskraft neu beleuchtet werden. Die Salzburger Bachmann Edition präsentiert die Prosa, Gedichte und Essays, Hörspiele, Libretti sowie die Korrespondenzen Ingeborg Bachmanns in Form einer integrierten Ausgabe. Die Texte werden ergänzt durch eingehende Kommentare auf dem gegenwärtigen Stand der Forschung, die Bachmanns Werk neu erschließen. Neben den zu Lebzeiten erschienenen Werken werden auch unbekannte nachgelassene Texte zugänglich gemacht.

December 1994Die blaue Villa in Hongkong
Roman
by Alain Robbe-Grillet, Hedda Soellner, Rolf Soellner, Joachim Heinrich Campe
Alain Robbe-Grillet wurde am 18. August 1922 in Brest geboren. Er hat Landwirtschaft studiert und später am Institut National des Statistiques gearbeitet. 1953 publizierte er seinen ersten Roman: Les Gommes. In der Editions de Minuit versammelten sich mit Alan Robbe-Grillet, Michel Butor, Nathalie Sarraute, Marguerite Duras und Claude Simon die Gründungsfiguren des Nouveau Roman. »Der Nouveau Roman war von Anfang an sehr bekannt, aber genauso verkannt« hat Robbe-Grillet imner wieder gesagt. »Robbe-Grillet will die Objektivität in der Literatur einführen, schrieben die Kritiker. Ich protestierte schon damals dagegen - aber niemand nahm es zur Kenntnis.« 2001, kurz vor seinem 80. Geburtstag, überraschte Robbe-Grillet Leser und Kritik mit seinem Roman La Reprise (Die Wiederholung, 2002), der als »Gründungstext des 21. Jahrhunderts«, als »einer der modernsten Texte der letzten Jahre« gefeiert wurde. Am 18. Feburar 2008 ist Alain Robbe-Grillet 85jährig in Caen gestorben.

The Anglo-American new world order from Wilson to Bush
by Andrew Williams
The main purpose of this book is to explain how (mainly) American, but also British and other Western, policy makers have planned and largely managed to create an international order in their own image, the so-called 'New World Order'. It shows how this seismic shift in international relations has developed through the major global wars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It uses a wide variety of historical archival material to give the background to the current and historical American obsession with creating the world order, one that both reflects the American national interest but also can be said to have established the major security, economic, organisational and normative pillars of our epoch. In addition it provides excellent background reading for the current debate about American foreign policy and the origins of 'neo-conservatism' in international relations. This edition updates a very successful first edition of the title, with additional material to take into account changes in the global order since 2001 and the beginning of the 'War on Terror'. ;

Literary studies: c 1500 to c 1800November 2011The Humorous Magistrate (Arbury)
by Edited by Margaret Jane Kidnie
The Humorous Magistrate is a seventeenth-century satiric comedy extant in two highly distinctive manuscripts. This, the earliest and clearly working draft of the play is bound with three other plays (including The Emperor's Favourite, published by the Malone Society in 2010) in a volume in the library of the Newdigate family of Arbury Hall, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The second version, showing yet another stage of revision not found in the Arbury manuscript and orientated towards performance, was purchased by the University of Calgary from the English antiquarian Edgar Osborne in 1972. The relationship between the manuscripts was discovered in 2005. The anonymous play has been attributed to John Newdigate III (1600-1642). Like The Emperor's Favourite, it takes aim at the court; its particular object of satire is governmental strategies under the Personal Rule of Charles I. The play appears in print for the first time in these separate editions. The volumes are illustrated with several plates, some provided for comparative purposes.

Die gestundete Zeit
by Ingeborg Bachmann, Irene Fußl
Für die junge Ingeborg Bachmann und ihre Generation erwies sich die große Hoffnung nach dem Krieg bald als trügerisch. Die Themen in Bachmanns erstem Gedichtband, Die gestundete Zeit (1953), sind repräsentativ für die Erfahrung, die das Schreiben nach 1945 bestimmt: Aufbruch und Abschied, Schuld und Gedächtnis. In der dramatischen Gestik und den einprägsamen Bildern ihrer Lyriksprache hat diese Erfahrung zu einem ergreifenden Ausdruck gefunden, der bis heute nichts von seiner unmittelbaren Wirkung verloren hat. Das starke Gefühl für den sprachlichen Gestus und das vielschichtige Geschichtsbewusstsein haben dazu beigetragen, den Gedichten einen Platz in der europäischen Moderne nach 1945 zu sichern. Dass sich in ihnen auch ein ›verzweifeltes Sprechen‹ mit Paul Celan verbirgt, wurde erst spät entdeckt. Seit der Publikation des Briefwechsels von Bachmann und Celan (Herzzeit, 2008) ist diese Lesart der Gedichte unabweisbar. In der nun erstmals erscheinenden kommentierten Edition von Die gestundete Zeit wird dieses Verständnis weitergeführt, ergänzt durch neue Materialien aus dem Nachlass Ingeborg Bachmanns.

»Senza casa«. Autobiographische Skizzen, Notate und Tagebucheintragungen
by Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvia Bengesser, Isolde Schiffermüller, Gabriella Pelloni, Michael Hansel
Autobiographische Versuche, ›Kriegstagebuch‹ und bislang unveröffentlichte Selbstzeugnisse sowie das ›Neapolitanische Tagebuch‹ aus Bachmanns aufregender erster Zeit als freie Schriftstellerin: Aus diesen Texten, erstmals versammelt im neuen Band der Salzburger Bachmann Edition, lassen sich bisher unbekannte biographische Einblicke gewinnen; stereotype und medial vermittelte Bilder der Autorin werden in Frage gestellt und korrigiert. Sichtbar werden die Schattenseiten eines Vagabundierens zwischen vielen Orten und Sprachen – von der italienischen Wohngemeinschaft mit Hans Werner Henze in Ischia und Neapel über Aufenthalte in Wien, Klagenfurt und Rom bis zu Lesereisen durch Deutschland. Deutlich erkennbar wird die Spannung zwischen der Utopie eines freien Künstlerlebens und der Sorge um das ökonomische Überleben. Die vielen bruchstückhaften Notate und literarischen Formen spiegeln ein buchstäblich ›verzetteltes‹ Leben wieder, das es wagt, sich einem ungesicherten Dasein auszusetzen. Aus ihnen spricht die intime Stimme eines Ichs, die ebenso spontan und unmittelbar wie auch zögernd, manchmal hart und apodiktisch wirkt und die im Lauf der Jahre zunehmend brüchiger und fragiler wird. In ihrer Poetik der ›Übergängigkeit‹ von Kunst und Leben eröffnet sich Bachmann einen Experimentier- und Erfahrungsraum für eine Existenz »senza casa«.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2017Reframing health and health policy in Ireland
A governmental analysis
by Edited by Claire Edwards, Eluska Fernandez
This edited collection is the first to apply the theoretical lens of post-Foucauldian governmentality to an analysis of health problems, practices, and policy in Ireland. Drawing on empirical examples related to childhood, obesity, mental health, smoking, ageing and others, the collection explores how specific health issues have been constructed as problematic and in need of intervention in the Irish State, and considers the strategies, discourses and technologies involved in the art of governing health in advanced liberal democracies. Bringing together academics from social policy, sociology, political science and public health, the text seeks to develop a dialogue about both the nature of health and health policy in the Ireland, but also how governmentality, as a theoretical approach, can contribute to the development of critical health policy analysis.

Political partiesAugust 2008Political marketing and British political parties (2nd Edition)
by Jennifer Lees-Marshment
The first edition of this book demonstrated that British political parties now attempt to offer a complete product that will appeal to a majority of voters, rather than being influenced by a political ideology and firm belief system. This new edition provides an updated and more in-depth exploration of the political marketing approach, including analysis of the 2001 and 2005 elections. It re-presents the influential theory of market, sales and product-oriented parties, discussing the potential and the limits of consumerism, and the need to blend business concepts with a traditional understanding of politics. Lee-Marshment examines Blair's New Labour government in order to draw out lessons on delivery, maintaining market intelligence and the effect of changing to a leadership approach that goes against country and party. Analysis of the Conservatives in opposition shows how the best intentions of party leaders to implement a market-orientation can be thwarted by internal resistance and traditional party elites. Providing a more reflective and critical analysis, the second edition offers a more nuanced discussion on how political parties can not only win elections but govern successfully.

Literature: history & criticismMay 2017Three sixteenth-century dietaries
by Joan Fitzpatrick. Series edited by Susan Cerasano
Early modern dietaries are prose texts recommending the best way to maintain physical and psychological well-being. Three sixteenth-century dietaries contains Thomas Elyot's Castle of Health, Andrew Boorde's Compendious Regiment and William Bullein's Government of Health, all popular and influential works that were typical of a genre advising the reader on how best to maintain physical and psychological health. They are here introduced, contextualized and edited for the first time in a modern spelling edition. Introductory material explores the dietary genre, its relationship to humanism, humoral theory, and the wide range of authorities with which the dietary authors engaged. The volume includes an examination of the bibliographical and publication history of each work, comprehensive explanatory notes and appendices that provide prefaces to earlier editions, a glossary, and a list of authorities and works cited or alluded to in the dietaries.

Das dreißigste Jahr
by Ingeborg Bachmann, Rita Svandrlik, Silvia Bengesser, Hans Höller
1956, in ihrem dreißigsten Lebensjahr, hat Ingeborg Bachmann mit ersten Entwürfen zu dem Buch, welches nun in der Salzburger Bachmann Edition erscheint, begonnen. Fünf Jahre dauerte es, bis im Frühjahr 1961 alle sieben Erzählungen publikationsfertig im Piper Verlag eingelangt waren und der Band im Juni erscheinen konnte. Die Lyrikerin, Hörspielautorin und Essayistin sprach bei der Entstehungsphase von einem »Umzug im Kopf«, der auch in ihr Leben eingriff. Für die Ankündigung wünschte sie sich, um jeder Rollenfestlegung zu entgehen, den expliziten Hinweis, dass es sich weder um »lyrische Prosa« noch um eine »Sammlung« von Erzählungen handle, ihr sei der innere Zusammenhang wichtig, »das Utopiezeichen«, das alle Erzählungen verbinde. Denn es geht auch hier um die »Geschichte im Ich«. Sie klingt bereits in den biographisch signifikanten Titeln Jugend in einer österreichischen Stadt oder Das dreißigste Jahr an, aber am unmittelbarsten ist sie in der Erzählung gegenwärtig, deren Titelfigur am weitesten von unserer Welt entfernt scheint: in Undine geht, dieser einzigartigen Evokation der Kunst und des Dramas von Kunst und Leben, die den Abschluss des Bandes bildet. Die erzählerische Kraft Ingeborg Bachmanns artikuliert sich in der eminent erkenntnisbetonten, szenisch-analytischen Dimension, dem Sinn für sprachliche Mikroszenen, in denen sie die verschiedenen Formen von Machtausübung und Gewalt in den Blick rückte.
