Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2024The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia
Engaging in everyday struggle
by Alexandrina Vanke
Despite the intense processes of deindustrialisation around the world, the working class continues to play an important role in post-industrial societies. However, working-class people are often stigmatised, morally judged and depicted negatively in dominant discourses. This book challenges stereotypical representations of workers, building on research into the everyday worlds of working-class and ordinary people in Russia's post-industrial cities. The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia is centred on the stories of local communities engaged in the everyday struggles that occur in deindustrialising settings under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism. The book suggests a novel approach to everyday life in post-industrial cities. Drawing on an ethnographic study with elements of arts-based research, the book presents a new genre of writing about workers influenced by the avant-garde documentary tradition and working-class literature.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The lives of Thomas Becket
by Michael Staunton
This collection tells the story of Thomas Becket's turbulent life, violent death and extraordinary posthumous acclaim in the words of his contemporaries.

Providing both a valuable glimpse of the late twelfth-century world, and an insight into the minds of those who witnessed the events. By using contemporary sources, this book is the most accessible way to study this central episode in medieval history. Thomas Becket features prominently in most medieval core courses. This book allows the subject to be taught as never before, and is highly suitable as a set text.

Live aus dem alten Rom

Im Hades ist die Hölle los. Die alten Römer sind empört von den langweiligen, halbwahren Geschichten über ihre glorreiche Zeit. Also erzählen Romulus, Caesar und Nero, ihre vielen Freunde und Feinde nun selbst. So erfahren wir, warum zwei Freunde sich in einem Gladiatorenkampf gegenüberstehen, Kleopatra sich freiwillig in einen Teppich wickeln lässt und man Gänse lieber nicht essen sollte.

May 1998Die Geschäfte des Herrn Julius Caesar
Romanfragment
by Bertolt Brecht
»Die Dialektik des ›Caesar‹-Romans äußert sich darin«, schreibt Hans Mayer, »daß die verklärende Geschichtsschreibung des nachgeborenen Historikers bei der Quellensuche immer unangenehmer beeinträchtigt wird durch die Beichte von Caesars Bankier und die Aufzeichnungen des Hausverwalters Rarus. Die Apologetik wird mit Ökonomik kontrastiert. Das Abenteuer Caesar spiegelt sich im Kalkül des mächtigen Bankiers ebenso wie in den häuslichen Miseren und Transaktionen des Generals, Politikers, Schriftstellers.«

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2024Thomas Nashe and literary performance
by Chloe Kathleen Preedy, Rachel Willie
As an instigator of debate and a defender of tradition, a man of letters and a popular hack, a writer of erotica and a spokesman for bishops, an urbane metropolitan and a celebrant of local custom, the various textual performances of Thomas Nashe have elicited, and continue to provoke, a range of contradictory reactions. Nashe's often incongruous authorial characteristics suggest that, as a 'King of Pages', he not only courted controversy but also deliberately cultivated a variety of public personae, acquiring a reputation more slippery than the herrings he celebrated in print. Collectively, the essays in this book illustrate how Nashe excelled at textual performance but his personae became a contested site as readers actively participated and engaged in the reception of Nashe's public image and his works.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2019Julius Caesar
by Jim Bulman, Andrew Hartley, Carol Chillington Rutter
Julius Caesar presents a performance history of a controversial play, moving from its 1599 opening all the way into the new millennium with particular emphasis on its twentieth- and twenty-first-century incarnations on stage and screen. The book tracks the play's evolution from being a play about the oratorical skill of noble Romans to its recent manifestations as a dark political thriller. Chapters in this theoretically savvy and global study consider productions such as Orson Welles's groundbreaking examination of European Fascism, Joseph Mankeiwicz's Oscar winning 1953 film, politically complex productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and shows from around the world which interrogate their own cultural and educational context as well as pressing contemporary concerns such as the reach of mass media.
