March 2026Was das Valley herrschen nennt
by Adrian Daub
Die von Elon Musk ins Leben gerufene Abteilung für Regierungseffizienz, DOGE, ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs. In den letzten Jahren hat das Silicon Valley die Macht in den USA übernommen. Meta, Palantir & Co. bestimmen jetzt, wer reguliert, ja, wer regiert. Günstlinge der Tech-Milliardäre durchsetzen den Verwaltungsapparat. Energiepolitik wird fast nur noch für die Kryptobranche und KI-Startups gemacht. Und die anti-woke Agenda der Titanen münzt Trump eins zu eins in Dekrete um. In Investorenmeetings und in Hörsälen, in Science-Fiction-Büchern, Fortpflanzungskliniken und in Sadomaso-Kellern spürt Adrian Daub dem nach, was für diese Konzerne, was für ihre Lenker, Dominanz bedeutet. Sie haben die Herrschaft an sich gerissen. Aber verstehen sie überhaupt, was herrschen ist?

April 2004Du kamst, Vogel, Herz, im Flug
Spanische Lyrik der Gegenwart
by Javier Gómez-Montero, Petra Strien-Bourmer, Manfred Bös, Thomas Brovot, Ludger Damm, Julia Gramberg, Alexandra Ihmig, Martin Koppenfels, Susanne Lange, Franck Meyer, Theres Moser, Gerhard Poppenberg, Petra Strien-Bourmer, Javier Gómez-Montero
Erst in den sechziger Jahren erholte sich die Lyrik in Spanien vom Schock des Bürgerkriegs und vom Druck der alles erstickenden Franco-Diktatur. Langsam, aber unüberhörbar erhoben sich die Stimmen junger Autoren, deren Gedichte mit kraftvollen Sprachbildern ästhetische Paradigmen und ethische Grundmuster für die Lyrik unserer Gegenwart entwerfen. Heute sind diese Stimmen unverwechselbar geworden; jede einzelne kann den Status eines Klassikers der Moderne beanspruchen. Ob mit leicht zugänglicher Alltags- und Gedankenlyrik oder mit hermetischen, auf den ersten Blick schwer erschließbaren Texten: Diese Lyriker erdichten den Standort für den Menschen aufs neue – in immer wieder überraschenden Wendungen.Die Anthologie versammelt ein Dutzend dieser poetischen Stimmen, herausragende Beispiele der spanischen Gegenwartslyrik, die selbstbewußt das Erbe der international bekannten Großen der ersten spanischen Moderne – Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Luis Cernuda, Pedro Salinas – antreten: José Ángel Valente, Jaime Gil de Biedma, Leopoldo M. Panero, José Agustín Goytisolo, Carlos Barral, José Hierro, Pere Gimferrer, Ángel González, Juan-Eduardo Cirlot, Antonio Gamoneda, Ángel Crespo, Clara Janés.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2021Passing into the present
Contemporary American fiction of racial and gender passing
by Sinead Moynihan
This book is the first full-length study of contemporary American fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. The book accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of "black" subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then, is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and authorship. The title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in contemporary American fiction.

The ArtsDecember 2025The films of Bigas Luna
by Santiago Fouz-Hernández
The films of Bigas Luna is the first comprehensive English-language study of the complete filmography of Spanish filmmaker Bigas Luna, spanning from Tatuaje (1976) to DiDi Hollywood (2010). Engaging with theoretical frameworks such as haptic cinema, erotic cinema, auteur theory, and studies of gender, sexuality, and national identity, the book situates close readings of Bigas Luna's films within broader discussions of production and marketing. Fouz Hernández draws on extensive archival research-including original screenplays, press materials, and interviews with industry professionals-while engaging with previous scholarship in multiple languages. Structured into five thematic chapters, the book explores key concerns in Bigas Luna's work, including genre, gender representation, Iberian and Mediterranean identities, and meta-cinematic narratives.

The ArtsMarch 2006Art history
A critical introduction to its methods
by Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk
Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. ;
