July 2004Auschwitz Poems
Gedichte
by Lily Brett, David Rankin, Silvia Morawetz, Silvia Morawetz
Die Beschädigungen und Konflikte einer Holocaust-Überlebenden der zweiten Generation sind das Thema, mit dem sich Lily Brett in ihrem ersten Buch, den preisgekrönten Auschwitz Poems, auseinandersetzt. Es war ihr erster Versuch, die Geschichte ihrer Eltern, die Auschwitz überlebten, aufzuarbeiten.Lily Brett erspürt Bilder und Erlebnisse aus Auschwitz, die sie nie selbst gesehen und die ihr keiner explizit erzählt hat – und schildert sie ähnlich wie ihren New Yorker Alltag: präzise, klar, schonungslos. In sparsamen, konzentrierten Sätzen beschreibt sie das Grauen des Konzentrationslagers, das ihre Eltern nicht aussprechen konnten.

April 2007Über-Empfindlichkeit
Spielformen der Idiosynkrasie
by Silvia Bovenschen
Manchmal sind es die unwichtigsten Kleinigkeiten des Alltags, gegen die man eine heftige Abneigung entwickelt – seien es die Haut auf der Milch, Männer in Sandalen oder das Quietschen von Kreide auf der Schultafel. Jeder kennt solche skurrilen, absurden Abneigungen, jeder hat seine eigenen unerklärlichen Überempfindlichkeiten. Silvia Bovenschen nähert sich diesem Phänomen aus den verschiedensten Richtungen: Sie grenzt es vom Ekel wie vom Schmerz ab, stellt Überlegungen an über die Beziehungen zwischen Idiosynkrasie und Flucht beim Zigarettenholen und versucht ein Porträt des Schweizers als Verbrecher. Auf diese Weise ist ein aufregendes, vergnügliches und kluges Buch über eine unserer so wichtigen Unwichtigkeiten des täglichen Lebens entstanden. »Silvia Bovenschen macht uns die Freude, mit ihrem versiert und kenntnisreich geschriebenen Buch ein unterschätztes Empfindungsphänomen zu erschließen.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung »Über-Empfindlichkeit gehört zu der kleinen Familie der Bücher, aus denen man vorlesen möchte, anstatt über sie Bericht zu erstatten. « Die Zeit Silvia Bovenschen studierte Literaturwissenschaft, Soziologie und Philosophie und lebt als freie Publizistin in Berlin. 2000 erhielt sie den Heinrich-Merck-Preis für Essayistik. Im Suhrkamp Verlag liegt von ihr Die imaginierte Weiblichkeit (es 2431) vor. Zuletzt erschien Älter werden (2006).

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2018David 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.

On literature in art
by Chloe Julius, Michael Green, Matthew Holman
Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards. Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular 'case of citation', the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists - including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski - whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can 'read' textual citations in art.

David Simon's American City
by Mikkel Jensen
This book examines the television serials created by influential showrunner David Simon. The book argues that Simon's main theme is the state of the contemporary American city and that all of his serials (barring one about the Iraq War) explore different facets of the metropolis. Each series offers distinctly different visions of the American city, but taken together they represent a sustained and intricate exploration of urban problems in modern America. From deindustrialisation in The Wire and residential segregation in Show Me a Hero to post-Katrina New Orleans in Treme and the transformation of the urban core in The Deuce, David Simon's American city traces the urban through-line in Simon's body of work. Based on sustained analysis of these serials and their engagement with contemporary politics and culture, David Simon's American city offers a compelling examination of one of television's most arresting voices.
