May 1995Rabelais und seine Welt
Volkskultur als Gegenkultur
by Michail M. Bachtin, Renate Lachmann, Gabriele Leupold, Renate Lachmann
Michail M. Bachtin (1885-1975) hat in diesem Werk in Auseinandersetzung mit der russischen und deutschen Ästhetik und dem Saussureschen Sprachbegriff eine eigene semiotische Literaturtheorie entwickelt. Entfaltet wird sie am Beispiel des Werkes von François Rabelais. Denn um diesen Klassiker der Weltliteratur zu verstehen, ist nach Bachtin eine grundlegende Neuformulierung (literar-)ästhetischer und kulturtheoretischer Fragestellungen erforderlich. Welches ist die Relation eines literarischen Werkes zu seinem Kontext? In welcher Beziehung steht es zu den kulturellen und literarischen Traditionen - bei Rabelais heißt dies: in welcher Weise hat die volkstümliche Lachkultur sein Werk geprägt?

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2023Made in France
Societal structures and political work
by Andy Smith
How has French society been made, by whom and why? And how in turn has it influenced the French? This book sets out the institutionalized rules and norms that continue to structure France, together with the 'political work' that has recently changed or reproduced these power relations. Exploring a range of age groups and types of social activity, including work, business, entertainment, political mobilizations and retirement, Made in France examines where significant change has occurred over the last four decades. Smith argues that while transformation has occurred in France's financial and education sectors, only relatively marginal shifts have occurred elsewhere in French society. To explain this pattern of continuity and isolated change, the book strongly nuances claims that neo-liberalism, globalization or a rise in populism have been its causes. References to these trends have impacted upon French politics to varying extents, Smith argues; however, France continues to be dominated by issues which are specific to the country and linked to its deep societal structures and history. Smith provides a comprehensive account of French society and politics and in doing so proposes an insightful analytical framework applicable to the comparative analysis of other nations.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017Heresy and inquisition in France, 1200–1300
by John H. Arnold, Peter Biller
Heresy and inquisition in France, 1200-1300 is an invaluable collection of primary sources in translation, aimed at students and academics alike. It provides a wide array of materials on both heresy (Cathars and Waldensians) and the persecution of heresy in medieval France. The book is divided into eight sections, each devoted to a different genre of source material. It contains substantial material pertaining to the setting up and practice of inquisitions into heretical wickedness, and a large number of translations from the registers of inquisition trials. Each source is introduced fully and is accompanied by references to useful modern commentaries. The study of heresy and inquisition has always aroused considerable scholarly debate; with this book, students and scholars can form their own interpretations of the key issues, from the texts written in the period itself.

May 2001Der Briefwechsel und andere Dokumente zu Rilkes Begegnung mit Rodin
by Rainer Maria Rilke, Auguste Rodin, Rätus Luck, Heidrun Werner, Rätus Luck
Mit dieser Ausgabe wird die Korrespondenz zwischen dem Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke und dem Bildhauer Auguste Rodin erstmals und, soweit überliefert, erstmals vollständig in deutscher Sprache vorgestellt. Die Briefe werden ergänzt durch Tagebuchnotizen und eine Vielzahl von Äußerungen des Dichters über Rodin sowie durch Augenzeugenberichte Dritter. Rätus Luck legt damit über die Dokumentation der wechselvollen Verbindung zwischen zwei großen Künstlern hinaus so etwas wie ein - nach RodinMonographie und Rodin-Vortrag - drittes Rodin-Buch Rilkes vor: Es zeigt den unmittelbaren Eindruck, den die Persönlichkeit des Bildhauers beim jungen Rilke hinterließ, und zeichnet dabei zugleich den Verlauf der Rodin-Rezeption am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts nach, zu der Namen wie Anne de Noailles, Rudolf Kassner, Harry Graf Kessler, Sidonie Nádherný von Borutin, Emile Verhaeren oder Helene von Nostitz gehören.

Heiliger Bimbam
Roman
by Raymond Queneau, Eugen Helmlé
"In diesem Roman mokiert sich Raymond Queneau über die Rückständigkeit eines Dorfs ohne Namen und über dessen groteske Verwandlung unter dem Einfluß großstädtischer Vorbilder; über das sinnlose Sippentamtam und über die Touristensehnsucht nach dem Alten Wahren; über den sterilen Traditionalismus und über den naiven Modernismus. Heiliger Bimbam ist voller Absurdität und Groteske, genährt von der Phantasie Rabelais' - eine schneidende Kritik dessen, was einmal »Blut und Boden« geheißen hat."

The ArtsMay 2023Modern European cinema and love
by Richard Rushton
Modern European cinema and love examines nine European directors whose films contain stories about romantic love and marriage. The directors are Jean Renoir, Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais, Michelangelo Antonioni, Agnès Varda, François Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer. The book approaches questions of love and marriage from a philosophical perspective, applying the ideas of authors such as Stanley Cavell, Leo Bersani, Luce Irigaray and Alain Badiou, while also tracing key concepts from Freudian psychoanalysis. Each of the filmmakers engages deeply with notions of modern love and marriage, often in positive ways, but also in ways that question the institutions of love, marriage and the 'couple'.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2001Bakhtin and cultural theory
Second edition
by Ken Hirschkop, David Shepherd
An important collection of essays which treats Bakhtin as a provocative theorist whose work must be tested, explored and compared with the work of others.

New articles explore the origins, previously unacknowledged, of Bakhtin's theory of language and provide a vivid account of the dramatic scandal surrounding Bakhtin's thesis on Rabelais. Contains dramatic new material, drawn from post-perestroika sources, which demythologizes the image of this important writer. A new bibliographical essay and introduction bring the English-language reader up-to-date with the progress of Bakhtin studies in Russia. ;

March 1986Sade. Fourier. Loyola
by Roland Barthes, Maren Sell, Jürgen Hoch
»Nicht aus Lust am Provozieren sind Sade, Fourier und Loyola in ein und demselben Buch zusammengestellt worden, sondern weil alle drei Klassifikatoren, Sprachbegründer waren: der verfemte Schriftsteller begründete eine Sprache des erotischen Vergnügens, der utopische Philosoph eine Sprache des sozialen Glücks und der heilige Jesuit eine Sprache der Anrufung Gottes. Zeichen erfinden und nicht, wie wir es alle tun, nur konsumieren heißt paradoxerweise in den Bereich jenes Nachhinein des Sinns einzutreten, der das signifiant darstellt, kurz, eine Schreibweise praktizieren. Daher beschäftigt sich dieses Buch auch nicht mit dem Inhalt der Schriften dieser drei Autoren (…), sondern es behandelt Sade, Fourier und Loyola als Formulierer, Erfinder von Schreibweisen, Textoperateure.« Roland Barthes

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2018Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France
by Michael Lynn, Joseph Bergin, Penny Roberts, Bill Naphy
In this book, Michael R. Lynn analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

Combining histories and presents
by Amikam Nachmani
Jacob Talmon: Combining histories and presents is not the biography of a historian. Rather, it is a discourse on a mind tormented by fear of the masses as well as the mistakes of the leadership. Talmon often applied his views on contemporary events and trends to his own actions as a humanist and historian. The changing role of the university, the decline of the liberal arts in favour of technology and the social sciences and the displacement of humanism by the market economy were of particular concern. His brilliant and paradoxically prophetic interactions with Arnold Toynbee, David Ben-Gurion, and Menahem Begin have been vindicated by the very history he sought to avoid. This new work in the English language makes Talmonic wisdom available for the first time to a much larger audience ;
