        Out of the box

        How queer TV raised a generation

        by Emily Garside

        A celebration of queer TV's past, present and exciting future. In Out of the box, Emily Garside takes the reader on a tour through the colourful, complicated world of queer television - where representation is never just entertainment. Examining a wide array of programmes, from Queer as Folk and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Schitt's Creek and Heartstopper, she explores how queer viewers find themselves in the stories TV tells. Part I dives into the genres that have shaped queer visibility on screen, from the closeted tensions of TV drama to the evolving landscape of sitcoms, musicals, sci-fi and period pieces. Whether it's gay aliens, campy dance numbers or the queerness hidden in historical narratives, these chapters reveal how genre both limits and liberates LGBTQ+ storytelling. Part II turns to the stories themselves: queer teens navigating first love, coming-out arcs, the thorny politics of sex on screen and the lasting need for AIDS narratives. The book also tackles the negative sides of queer TV, from queerbaiting to the 'bury your gays' trope, and looks at how fans push back through creativity and fanfiction.

        Blüten des Augenblicks

        Gedichte

        by Ko Un, Hans-Jürgen Zaborowski

        Blüten des Augenblicks – das sind 185 kurze Zen-Gedichte, geschrieben von Südkoreas beliebtestem Dichter, der seit einer Reihe von Jahren zu den Favoriten unter den Nobelpreisanwärtern gehört. Sein erster Gedichtband in deutscher Übertragung, Die Sterne über dem Land der Väter, erschien 1996 im Suhrkamp Verlag.Die neuen Gedichte bezaubern. Etwas von der ursprünglichen Kraft eines schamanischen Trommelsolos pocht in ihnen. Diese »Blüten des Augenblicks« wirken so belebend, als stünde man vor einem Wasserfall, sie stärken wie bester Ginseng, erfrischen wie der frischeste grüne Tee. 19. April,die erste Schlange in diesem Frühling tauchte aufund starb.Ich, ich habe schon zu lange gelebt. »Ich bin gekommen, Liebste,der strenge Winter, er ist vorbei.«Das Grab seiner Frau lacht leise.

        Imagining Caribbean womanhood

        Race, nation and beauty competitions, 1929–70

        by Pamela Sharpe, Rochelle Rowe, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie

        Over fifty years after Jamaican and Trinidadian independence, Imagining Caribbean womanhood examines the links between beauty and politics in the Anglophone Caribbean, providing a first cultural history of Caribbean beauty competitions, spanning from Kingston to London. It traces the origins and transformation of female beauty contests in the British Caribbean from 1929 to 1970, through the development of cultural nationalism, race-conscious politics and decolonisation. The beauty contest, a seemingly marginal phenomenon, is used to illuminate the persistence of racial supremacy, the advance of consumer culture and the negotiation of race and nation through the idealised performance of cultured, modern beauty. Modern Caribbean femininity was intended to be politically functional but also commercially viable and subtly eroticised.

        Out of the depths

        The first collection of Holocaust songs

        by Joseph Toltz, Anna Boucher

        Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima'amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima'amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs' melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a 'memorial stone for Polish Jewry', the songbook is a timeless document of a people's despair, hope and strength.
