        Alphabet des Abschieds

        Roman

        by Urs Faes

        "»Gib sie wieder, sagte sie, als ob es seine Geschichte wäre.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre - so erzählt unaufdringlich leise und bewegend Urs Faes in seinem Roman ›Alphabet des Abschieds‹ die Wiederbegegnung eines Mannes und einer Frau auf der Piazza della Rotonda an einem Spätherbstlichen römischen Novembertag. Nach zwanzig Jahren sehen ein Mann und eine Frau sich in der Ewigen Stadt wieder; Zufall, Fügung oder Schonfrist?»Ein Mann wie Paul.« »Eine Frau wie Nicole.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre: Er, Paul, ein gescheiterter Maler, der sich als Karikaturist und Touristenführer durchs Leben schlägt. Ein exzentrischer Mann, der nicht mehr an Worte glauben kann und die zynische Gleichgültigkeit zur Überlebenssicherung macht; einer, der niemanden mehr liebt, nicht einmal sich selbst, einer, der nur noch den Tod und die sterbende Zeit malen konnte und sonst gar nichts mehr. Aber auch einer, dem unter seinen Maskeraden das Vergessen nicht gelingen will. Sie, Nicole, ist Chorsängerin auf Gastspieltournee.Zögernd lassen Nicole und Paul sich auf die Begegnung und erneute Annäherung ein, suchen sie nach den Worten, m denen sich über die furchtsam weggeschobenen Erinnerungen sprechen läßt.»Wie hast du gelebt all die Jahre?« Unangestrengt und feinfühlig-behutsam stellt Urs Faes seine Fragen, läßt er in Alphabet des Abschieds Nicoles und Pauls Bilder geteilter Biographie und gemeinsamer Zeit vorbeiziehen: die späten sechziger und siebziger Jahre mit ihren erhofften und enttäuschten Lebensentwürfen, die Stationen einer Liebe, deren Zärtlichkeit in immer neuen Abschieden vergeht und schließlich am Vorwurf des »Verrats an der Liebe« scheitert, Pauls Neuanfang in Rom – der Stadt, wo jene Liebe zu Nicole begonnen hat und ein Leben auf Aufschub im Irrlauf durch die Straßen scheitert."

        Border images, border narratives

        The political aesthetics of boundaries and crossings

        by Johan Schimanski, Jopi Nyman

        This interdisciplinary volume explores the role of images and narratives in different borderscapes. Written by experienced scholars in the field, Border images, border narratives provides fresh insight into how borders, borderscapes, and migration are imagined and narrated in public and private spheres. Offering new ways to approach the political aesthetics of the border and its ambiguities, this volume makes a valuable contribution to the methodological renewal of border studies and presents ways of discussing cultural representations of borders and related processes. Influenced by the thinking of philosopher Jacques Rancière, this timely volume argues that narrated and mediated images of borders and borderscapes are central to the political process, as they contribute to the public negotiation of borders and address issues such as the in/visiblity of migrants and the formation of alternative borderscapes. The contributions analyse narratives and images in literary texts, political and popular imagery, surveillance data, border art, and documentaries, as well as problems related to borderland identities, migration, and trauma. The case studies provide a highly comparative range of geographical contexts ranging from Northern Europe and Britain, via Mediterranean and Mexican-USA borderlands, to Chinese borderlands from the perspectives of critical theory, literary studies, social anthropology, media studies, and political geography.

        Consumerism and the Co-operative movement in modern British history

        Taking stock

        by Lawrence Black, Nicole Robertson

        Despite the abundance and quality of recent historical writing on consumerism, it cannot be said that the modern Co-operative movement (Co-op) has been well served. It has also been by-passed in studies that locate Britons' identity in their consumption. The reasons for this can be found in the widely perceived decline of the Co-op since the 1950s, but also in various historiographical agendas that have resulted in its relative invisibility in modern British history. This book, by demonstrating the variety of broader issues that can be addressed through the Co-op and the vibrancy of new historical research into consumption, seeks to remedy this. Taking stock, both of the Co-op in a broader context and of new approaches to the history of consumption, combines the work of leading authorities on the Co-op with recent scholarly research. It explores the Co-op's distinctive interface between everyday issues and grander idealistic concerns. The chapters intersect to examine a broad range of themes, notably: the politics of consumerism including consumer protection, ethical and fair trading and alternatives to corporate commerce; design and advertising; the Co-op's relations with other components of the labour movement; and its ideology, image and memory. The collection looks at the Co-operative movement locally (through specific case studies), nationally and also in comparison to the European movement. This collection will appeal to academics, researchers, teachers and students of the economic, cultural and political history of twentieth-century Britain. It will also be of interest to academics and students of business studies, and co-operative members themselves. ;

        Celtic Identity and the British Image

        by Murray Pittock

        This work explores the idea of the Celt and the definition of the so-called "Celtic Fringe" over the last 300 years. It is an in-depth study of the literary and cultural representation of Ireland, Scotland and Wales over this period, and is based on a wide-ranging grasp of issues of national identity and state formation. The idea of the Celt and Celticism is once again highly fashionable. Is there such a common Celtic heritage? What is the place of the "Celtic Fringe" in British identity? Pittock begins by assessing the term "Celtic" itself, by questioning its validity, going on to examine its historic uses and heroic notions of Scotland's past. The Celtic Revival of the late 19th century is examined in detail together with its impact on Irish nationalism. Pittock asks how far the "Celtic" experience in Britain can be described as a colonial one, and examines the importance of the Celtic languages in preserving a sense of identity. Contemporary issues such as the literary language of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the growth of modern Scottish nationalism are also considered. ;

        Die technologische Bedingung

        Beiträge zur Beschreibung der technischen Welt

        by Erich Hörl

        Unsere Operations-, Wissens- und Existenzräume, unsere Selbst- und Weltwahrnehmung werden heute unhintergehbar von technologischen Objektkulturen geprägt. Insbesondere die allgemeine Kybernetisierung seit Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts, die in der umfassenden und allgegenwärtigen Computerisierung ihren vorläufigen Höhepunkt erreicht hat, macht die Technizität unserer sinnkulturellen Verfassung deutlich. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes, den die deutsche Erstübertragung eines brisanten Stücks aus dem Nachlaß des französischen Mechanologen Gilbert Simondon eröffnet, liefern die dringend nötige Neubeschreibung unserer zeitgenössisch-technischen Welt. Außerdem schreiben: Dirk Baecker, Massimo de Carolis, Alexander Galloway, Mark Hansen, Katherine Hayles, Nicole Karafyllis, Scott Lash, Jean-Luc Nancy, Frédéric Neyrat, Peter Risthaus, Bernard Stiegler und Eugene Thacker.

        Orangism in the Dutch Republic in word and image, 1650–75

        by Jill Stern, Joseph Bergin, Penny Roberts, Bill Naphy

        This remarkable study represents a completely original presentation of the language and imagery used by the Orangists in the critical period in the mid-seventeenth century Netherlands as they sought the restoration of the stadholderate in the person of the young prince William III. Stern argues that the Orangists had no desire for the prince to become a monarch, rather that they viewed the stadholderate as an essential component of the Dutch constitution, the Union of Utrecht, and fulfilling a key role as defender of the rights and privileges of the citizenry against an overwheening urban oligarchy. Source material is drawn not only from books and political pamphlets but also from contemporary drama, poetry, portraits, prints, and medals. This enables the author to examine the imagery used by the supporters of the House of Orange, in particular the symbols of rebirth and regeneration which were deployed to propagate the restoration of the stadholderate in the person of William III. ;

        Language and imagination in the Gawain poems

        by J. Anderson

        This major new literary study offers a fresh view of the significance of the famous group of fourteenth-century poems, 'Pearl', 'Cleanness', 'Patience' and 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. It is a comprehensive study which puts the poems themselves firmly at its centre, though it is always alert to relevant aspects of their literary and cultural context. John Anderson builds his discussions of the poems' ideas on an examination of the anonymous poet's superb Shakespeare-like language. He finds that the great fourteenth-century struggle, between religious and secular forces for control of men's minds, underlies all the poems. This title is the first in the new Manchester Medieval Literature series, which makes readability a priority. Accordingly, despite its wide range of reference and the radicalism of some of its leading ideas, this book is written in a jargon-free style designed to appeal to specialist, non-specialist and student readers alike.
