        Pulphead

        Vom Ende Amerikas

        by John Jeremiah Sullivan, Thomas Pletzinger, Kirsten Riesselmann

        Kann man ganz Amerika in ein Buch packen? Geschichte und Gegenwart? Popkultur und Frömmigkeit? Glänzende Oberfläche und enttäuschte Versprechen? Mit »Pulphead« hat John Jeremiah Sullivan bewiesen, dass das möglich ist. In der Tradition von Meistern wie Tom Wolfe und Hunter S. Thompson verwischt er die Grenze zwischen Literatur und Journalismus, Erzählung und Reportage, Hochliteratur und Unterhaltung, Hemingway und Hollywood. Wie in einem Panoptikum entsteht aus Artikeln über Axl Rose, christliche Rockfestivals, Reality TV, die Tea-Party-Bewegung, vergessene Naturforscher und den heruntergekommenen Süden das Panorama eines Landes, das der Rest der Welt immer weniger versteht. Pulphead löste in den USA wahre Jubelstürme aus, und die Begeisterung hat längst auch die alte Welt respektive die Bundesrepublik erreicht: »Noch jeder ungläubige Thomas, der dem konzertierten Entzücken misstrauen wollte, kehrte mit leuchtenden Augen von der Lektüre zurück.« Der Tagesspiegel »Essays aus und über Amerika von einem, der schreiben kann, dass einem der Mund offen stehen bleibt.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung »Die besten Geschichten über Amerika, die Popkultur und die Gegenwart seit langem.« Süddeutsche Zeitung »... die besten Geschichten schreibt immer noch das Leben, und das ist Sullivans Stoff.« Tages-Anzeiger »Sehr, sehr gute, wahre, berührende Geschichten darüber, was es heißen kann, heute zu leben« Süddeutsche Zeitung

        Coercive confinement in Ireland

        Patients, prisoners and penitents

        by Eoin Sullivan, Ian O'Donnell

        This book provides an overview of the incarceration of tens of thousands of men, women and children during the first fifty years of Irish independence. Psychiatric hospitals, mother and baby homes, Magdalen homes, Reformatory and Industrial schools, prisons and Borstal formed a network of institutions of coercive confinement that was integral to the emerging state. The book provides a wealth of contemporaneous accounts of what life was like within these austere and forbidding places as well as offering a compelling explanation for the longevity of the system and the reasons for its ultimate decline. While many accounts exist of individual institutions and the factors associated with their operation, this is the first attempt to provide a holistic account of the interlocking range of institutions that dominated the physical landscape and, in many ways, underpinned the rural economy. Highlighting the overlapping roles of church, state and family in the maintenance of these forms of social control, this book will appeal to those interested in understanding twentieth-century Ireland: in particular, historians, legal scholars, criminologists, sociologists and other social scientists. These arguments take on special importance as Irish society continues to grapple with the legacy of its extensive use of institutionalisation. ;
