October 2023Stärker als Wut
Wie wir feministisch wurden und warum es nicht reicht | Das Buch der »Missy Magazine«-Gründerin
by Stefanie Lohaus
»Ein bedeutender Kommentar zur Entwicklung des Feminismus, der Wege aufzeigt, wie wir den Stillstand in Sachen Gleichstellung endlich überwinden können.« Teresa Bücker Der Feminismus ist die erfolgreichste soziale Bewegung in der Geschichte. Dieses Buch betrachtet seine vielfältige Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft aus deutscher Perspektive. Es setzt eine bedeutende, eine notwendige Wegmarke für alle, die sich dem Kampf um Freiheit und Gleichheit und Gerechtigkeit verschrieben haben, für alle, die fragen: woher kommt, wohin geht der Feminismus? Was ist erreicht, was muss weiter erstritten werden? An den eigenen Erfahrungen maßgenommen, aus profunden Kenntnissen abgeleitet, angetrieben von einer Überzeugung – die Missy Magazine-Gründerin Stefanie Lohaus beschreibt klug und eindrücklich fünf Jahrzehnte dieser weltverändernden Kraftanstrengung. Stärker als Wut legt auf umfassende Weise Zeugnis ab von Macht und Ohnmacht der Veränderung, ist generationenübergreifendes Porträt und richtungsweisender Appell. »Eine unverzichtbare feministische Bildungsreise.« Mithu Sanyal

April 2025Die blutige Kammer
Erzählungen | Das Kultbuch von der Godmother der feministischen (Horror-)Literatur | Gänsehaut pur zu Halloween
by Angela Carter, Julia Kissina, Maren Kames, Mithu Sanyal
Väter, Bestien, Werwölfe – die Frauen in Märchen haben seit jeher kein einfaches Los. In Angela Carters Kult-Nachdichtungen von etwa Blaubart, Der gestiefelte Kater oder Die Schöne und das Biest wird die traditionelle Rollenverteilung nicht nur umgekehrt, sondern in die Luft gejagt. Hier werden Frauen zu Tigerbräuten und Schöne zu Biestern, Erlkönige mit dem eigenen Haar erwürgt und Werwolfsgroßmütter von ihren Enkelinnen erledigt. Die Antiheldinnen und Heldinnen dieser Märchen sinnen in gleichem Maße auf Rache, wie sie nach Liebe streben. Angela Carter ist die Godmother der feministischen (Horror-)Literatur. Ihre abgründig-erotischen Neuerzählungen von Märchen bestechen auch mehr als fünfzig Jahre nach ihrem Erscheinen mit unvermittelter Wucht.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2025A grand strategy of peace
Britain and the creation of the United Nations Organization, 1939-1945
by Andrew Ehrhardt
A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain's role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers - previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period - thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2025The Jacobites and the Grand Tour
Educational travel and small-states' diplomacy
by Jérémy Filet
In the first monograph to fully examine the intersecting networks of Jacobites and travellers to the continent, Filet considers how small states used official diplomacy and deployed soft power - embodied by educational academies - to achieve foreign policy goals. This work uses little-known archival materials to explain how and why certain small states secretly supported the Jacobite cause during the crucial years surrounding the 1715 rising, while others stayed out of Jacobite affairs.At the same time, the book demonstrates how early modern small states sought to cultivate good relations with Britain by attracting travellers as part of a wider trend of ensuring connections with future diplomats or politicians in case a Stuart restoration never came.This publication therefore brings together a study of Britain, small states, Jacobitism, and educational travel, in its nexus at continental academies.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840
by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

The ArtsDecember 2007J. M. W. Turner
The making of a modern artist
by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter
Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2026Rodrigo Ximenez de Rada’s Minor Histories
by Aymenn Al-Tamimi
This work provides the first complete English translation of works by Toledan archbishop Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada (1170-1247 CE), whose 'Minor Histories' are sequels to his larger 'Gothic History' and thus round off his grand history of Spain project that he began at the request of King Ferdinand III. The 'Minor Histories' include Rodrigo's 'History of the Arabs' that can be considered the first surviving Western monograph focused on Arab and Islamic history and thus occupies a unique position in the medieval Latin corpus of writings. In addition to the translation, this book provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the life and works of Rodrigo, making sense of the context in which he wrote and his historical method. The translations are thoroughly annotated including cross-references to other Latin and Arabic sources for comparison.
