        Mein Leben zwischen den Geschlechtern

        by iO Tillett Wright, Clara Drechsler, Harald Hellmann

        Mit sechs will iO kein Mädchen mehr sein. Im New Yorker East Village Ende der 80er sind unorthodoxe Entscheidungen Trumpf: Also gibt sich iO als Junge aus. Und wächst auf in einem rauen, grenzenlosen Wunderland, zwischen Drag Queens, Performancekünstlern und den Freunden seiner [sic!] Patentante Nan Goldin … Darling Days erzählt von der Suche nach Authentizität an einem verlorenen Ort – ein unwiderstehliches, ein heftiges Buch.

Für iO beginnt ein Leben zwischen den Geschlechtern, befreit von starren Kategorien, am Rande des Chaos und an der Seite einer Mutter, deren Fürsorge außer Kontrolle gerät …

        KoboldKroniken. Mission Bademantel

        Das Kwest-Abenteuer von Lennard

        by Daniel Bleckmann, Thomas Hussung

        Geh mit Lennard auf Kwest-Challenge in der Koboldwelt. Das nächste Escape-Abenteuer in der Welt der KoboldKroniken: Lennard auf geheimer Mission – natürlich gewohnt witzig kommentiert und skizziert von seinem besten Freund Dario. Lennard, der bekanntlich letztes Jahr, nun ja... verschwand, wurmt es nämlich total, dass er nicht weiß, was genau da abgegangen ist, wo die Kobolde von Kwertz in die Menschenwelt Blendheim eindrangen und wer genau die Wechsler waren. Wenn du auf Spiel- und Rätselbücher stehst, dann hilf ihm dabei (denn ohne Dario ist er ein bisschen lost), wenn er Monster-Kreaturen begegnet, Rätsel lösen und sich Gefahren stellen muss. Ihr erlebt Escape-Situationen und Entscheidungen wie in einem Questbuch, die dich interaktiv mitten in die Geschichte kicken. Vorsicht, es sind immer mehrere Lösungswege möglich – und wird ein mega Spaß für Schulferien, Pausen und zwischendurch. Next Level: Kannst du alle Rätsel lösen? Nach Mission Glühelfe das nächste Spin-Off aus den KoboldKroniken Genau deins, wenn du eher Wenigleser*in bist und auf Comic-Tagebuch-Bücher stehst. Voll sympathisch: hier gewinnt, wer anderen hilft statt egoistisch seinen Weg zu gehen. Game dich mit Sidekicks auf Starwars, Herr der Ringe u. a. durch Höhlen und Gänge. Du entscheidest: alles aus dem Kobold-Kosmos ist unabhängig voneinander lesbar.

        Capitalism in contemporary Iran

        Capital accumulation, state formation and geopolitics

        by Kayhan Valadbaygi

        By situating Iran within the neoliberal global capitalism and resulting geopolitics, this book traces the patterns of capital accumulation and transformations in class and state formation emanating from it. It shows that Iranian neoliberalisation has brought about two capital fractions, namely the internationally-oriented capital fraction and the military-bonyad complex. It substantiates that the co-existence of these competing class fractions with different accumulation strategies has generated hybrid neoliberalism. The book further demonstrates how this new class formation has reorganised the function and operation of state institutions and transformed state ideology. By documenting the ways in which Iranian neoliberalisation has reshaped the subaltern classes and formed Iran's volatile foreign policy, it also provides a novel account of major events and processes in contemporary Iran, such as the post-2017 wave of uprisings, the nuclear programme and international sanctions.

        Foreign players and football supporters

        The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain

        by David Ranc

        'Mercenaries', 'cheats', 'destroying the soul of (English) football', 'destroying the link between football clubs and their supporters': foreign football players have been accused of being at the origin of all the ills of contemporary football. How true is this? Foreign players and football supporters: The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain is the first academic book to look at supporters' reactions to the increase in the number of foreign players in the very clubs they support week in week out. It shows that football supporters identify with their club through a variety of means, which may change or be replaced with others, and provides the most comprehensive view on football supporters' attachment to their club in the European Union, following the increase in European legislation. Divided into three case studies on Glasgow (Celtic and Rangers), Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in London, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to chart the evolution of the link between supporters and club between 1995 and today. It is based on extensive research through the press of three nations, as well as interviews with officials and supporters. It provides an excellent read for students and researchers in Sports Studies, Politics, European Studies, French Studies and other Social Sciences, or to anyone interested in one of the most original institutions of contemporary western societies: mass spectator sports. ;

        Anne Clifford's Great Books of Record

        by Jessica L. Malay

        In her Great Books of Record Anne Clifford places herself within the dynamic history of the ancient Clifford family, providing an unbroken view into medieval and early modern life for nearly six centuries. In this annotated edition, we glimpse the lives of simple widows, traders, farmers, and labourers juxtaposed with the adventures of soldiers, lords and ladies, princes and princesses. Throughout, Anne Clifford asserts the centrality of women to the success of noble families, including the monarchy. Her Great Books draws upon medieval traditions and early modern scholarship and builds upon these through biographies of the Clifford lords and ladies, along with an extended biography of her mother Margaret Russell and her own autobiographical 'Life of Mee'. Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political upon individuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.

        In Strange Countries: Middle English Literature and its Afterlife

        Essays in memory of J. J. Anderson

        by Anke Bernau, David Matthews

        These essays by senior scholars in medieval studies celebrate the career of J.J. Anderson, editor, critic, and co-founder of the Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture series, who taught in medieval studies at the University of Manchester for forty years. The essays are rooted in medieval literature but frequently range beyond the confines of the Middle Ages. They reflect the breadth of Anderson's own scholarly interests, especially in drama and Arthurian literature. There is a particular focus on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, poems which preoccupied him throughout his scholarly life. There are also new reconsiderations of La?amon's Brut, Mirk's Festial, the Passion plays, and the manuscripts of the Pore Caitif. Moving beyond the traditional purview of medieval literature, several contributors trace the afterlives of medieval themes in later literature. These essays include a consideration of the twinned trajectories of the medieval heroes Robin Hood and King Arthur from medieval literature to modern television, a comparison of La?amon's Brut and Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and a recreation of the Bishop Blase procession which took place in industrial Bradford. Contributors are Rosamund Allen, Ralph Elliott, Alexandra Johnston, Stephen Knight, Peter Meredith, Susan Powell, Gillian Rudd, Alan Shelston, and Kalpen Trivedi. ;
