November 1998Fanny Owen
Roman
by Agustina Bessa-Luís, Lieselotte Kolanoske, Georg Rudolf Lind
Eine explosive, eine leicht lachhafte, eine hochromantische Konstellation: Zwei junge Männer, einander in je eigener Verlorenheit zugetan, umwerben zwei Schwestern, von denen die jüngere schließlich die Leidenschaft beider Männer weckt: Der Dichter und Feuilletonist Camilo ist befreundet mit José Augusto, einem müßigen Adelsabkömmling, der ihn einmal vor dem Selbstmord bewahrt hat. Die beiden »Romantiker«, die für Goethes Werther und Lord Byrons Dichtung schwärmen, sind auf der Suche nach der unbedingten Leidenschaft, die mehr sein soll als eine erotische Eroberung oder eine sinnvolle Heirat. In Fanny Owen finden sie beide eine gefährlich wahlverwandte Seele. Mit kühlem Interesse erzählt Augustina Bessa-Luís eine romantische Dreiecksgeschichte. »Du hast Fanny geliebt? Welch große Neuigkeit! Tröste dich mit der Archäologie der Liebe! Besitzt du eine Haarlocke von ihr? Ein Band von ihrem Gürtel? Einen schilfgrünen Handschuh?... Nur wenig versteht von der Traurigkeit, wer dem Traurigen sagt, er solle sich freuen.«

Über den Prozeßcharakter von Literatur und Kultur
by Raymond Williams, H. Gustav Klaus, H. Gustav Klaus, H. Gustav Klaus
In Großbritannien haben die Arbeiten des unorthodoxen marxistischen Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftlers Raymond Williams eine lebhafte Resonanz gefunden; hierzulande ist er noch nicht zureichend beachtet worden. Die vom Herausgeber gemeinsam mit Raymond Williams im Blick auf eine kontinentale Leserschaft getroffene Auswahl aus seinen Arbeiten vereinigt theoretisch-begriffliche Untersuchungen und materiale Analysen, die sich in exemplarischer Weise mit zentralen Fragen der Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte befassen.

The ArtsMarch 2013Space and being in contemporary French cinema
by James S. Williams
This book brings together for the first time five French directors who have established themselves as among the most exciting and significant working today: Bruno Dumont, Robert Guédiguian, Laurent Cantet, Abdellatif Kechiche, and Claire Denis. Whatever their chosen habitats or shifting terrains, each of these highly distinctive auteurs has developed unique strategies of representation and framing that reflect a profound investment in the geophysical world. The book proposes that we think about cinematographic space in its many different forms simultaneously (screenspace, landscape, narrative space, soundscape, spectatorial space). Through a series of close and original readings of selected films, it posits a new 'space of the cinematic subject'. Accessible and wide-ranging, this volume opens up new areas of critical enquiry in the expanding interdisciplinary field of space studies. It will be of immediate interest to students and researchers working not only in film studies and film philosophy, but also in French/Francophone studies, postcolonial studies, gender and cultural studies.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2009The four funerals in Beowulf
by Gale Owen-Crocker
It is well known that the old English poem Beowulf begins and ends with funerals and includes the third as a digression part way through. Now, for the first time, a fourth funeral (hitherto disguised as poetic imagery) is identified from archaeological evidence. A detailed analysis of the four funerals establishes their thematic and structural importance, revealing them as pillars around which the poem is built. The poet is revealed as a literate antiquarian of considerable structural skill; one who explores feminist issues, plays with numbers and enjoys a pun; who establishes an ideal then probes its darker side. The author's unique knowledge of Anglo-Saxon culture provides constant surprises and enlightenment. This book will be invaluable to all students of the poem for its fresh and detailed reading, its identification of a coherent structure and its establishment of the integrity of the surviving texts. ;

The ArtsMarch 2026Acting and performance in Hitchcock
by Adrian Garvey, Victoria Lowe
Hitchcock's professed disdain for actors is belied by the extraordinary range and depth of performances featured in his films. It might even be argued that many stars gave their richest and most complex performances in his work. Hitchcock's films are also imbued with the theme of performance, as when his fugitive men and errant women assume fragile new identities and move between roles. Actors and other performers also often feature as characters. However, the exhaustive academic literature on Hitchcock has to date produced surprisingly little work about acting and performance in his films. The collection includes contributions from a range of leading scholars on Hitchcock, performance, stardom, and British Cinema, including Charles Barr, David Greven, Mark Glancy, Lucy Bolton, Lawrence Napper and Michael Williams, and an interview with leading composers/accompanists Neil Brand and Stephen Horne on scoring performance in Silent Hitchcock.
