The Cultural Forum also edits an annual and a bimonthly magazine, Blickwechsel ("Change of perspective") and Kulturkorrespondenz östliches Europa ("Cultural Correspondence Central and Eastern Europe"). Furthermore, the Forum organizes popular lectures, discussions, readings, exhibitions, concerts, journalist trips, writer residencies and prize-givings.
View Rights PortalFernab vom alltäglichen Wortge- und -verbrauch schafft José F.A. Oliver, Chamisso-Preisträger von 1997, Klanggehäuse, in denen sich die Laute scheinbar spielend zu neuen Bedeutungen zusammenschließen. Die Gedichte sprechen vom Unterwegssein und vom Ankommen, von einer Sehnsucht nach Ursprünglichkeit, vom Pulsen im »sprachherztakt«. Olivers sprachmagische Gedichte wollen »uns lösen / vom schweren zungenschlag«, also von der tagtäglichen Sprache und zurückführen zu ihrem eigentlichen Ursprung: dem Klang. Der 1961 geborene Lyriker andalusischer Herkunft, aufgewachsen im Schwarzwald, moduliert die Sprachpartikel auf immer überraschende Weise; mit feinem Sensorium spürt er den Faltenwürfen der Wörter nach und stößt dabei auf bislang Ungehörtes. »José Oliver hat seine Poesie ganz tief in die deutsche Sprache eingeschrieben, eingegraben, ja, die deutsche Sprache mit ihr umgegraben«, schrieb Harald Weinrich.
Oliver Cromwell has been both applauded and reviled and his memory invoked in periods and in countries other than his own. This complex historiography has left us today with many different versions of Cromwell as man, general and statesman of which the conflicting images are the subject of this book. Available in paperback for the first time, this classic study is based on the unfinished magnum opus of the leading scholar of seventeenth-century history, Roger Howell (1936?89). It includes chapters by a team of leading international experts on a broad range of subjects originally planned by Howell himself. It includes Howell's studies of the reactions to Cromwell in the Restoration period and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Added to these are reprints of his essays on psychohistorical approaches to Cromwell and on Cromwell's contribution to English liberty. Further historiographical portraits of the Protector are offered in chapters which consider Cromwell and the Glorious Revolution; Carlyle's Cromwell; Irish images of the Protector; American interpretations; and the comparisons made between Cromwell and the twentieth-century dictators. ;
