Gedichte aus Liebe
by Thomas Brasch, Thomas Wild, Thomas Wild
Liebe ist für Thomas Brasch (1945–2001) eine Haltung, die sich jeder Festlegung verweigert. Eine Haltung, die ihre Träume fürchtend und sehnend der Wirklichkeit aussetzt und das Mögliche stets in den Horizont des Unmöglichen stellt. Braschs dichterische Leidenschaft hofft und verzweifelt, vertraut und betrügt, preist und vernichtet. Und sie belehrt: Wann, wem und wie schreibt man ein erotisches Gedicht? In dem Band stehen Gedichte, die Brasch eigenständig und zu Lebzeiten publiziert hat, neben literarischen Hinterlassenschaften. Texte aus den frühen Jahren(»Anna, komm …«) sind ebenso vertreten wie Arbeiten aus jüngerer Zeit, etwa eine Gruppe mit Brunke-Gedichten, die in den 1990er Jahren entstanden sind.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2024Anti-racism in Britain
Traditions, histories and trajectories, 1880-present
by Saffron East, Grace Redhead, Theo Williams
Concepts of 'race' and racism are central to British history. They have shaped, and been shaped by, British identities, economies and societies for centuries, from colonialism and enslavement to the 'hostile environment' of the 2010s. Yet state and societal racism has always been met with resistance. This edited volume collects the latest research on anti-racist action in Britain, and makes the case for a multifaceted, historically contingent 'tradition' of British anti-racism shaped by local, national and transnational contexts, networks and movements. Ranging from Pan-Africanist activism in the 1890s to mutual aid women's groups in the 1970s, from anti-racist trade union marches in Scotland to West African student groups in North East England - this book explores the continuities and interruptions in British anti-racism from the nineteenth century to the present day.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The West must wait
County Galway and the Irish Free State, 1922–32
by Una Newell
The West must wait presents a new perspective on the development of the Irish Free State. It extends the regional historical debate beyond the Irish revolution and raises a series of challenging questions about post-civil war society in Ireland. Through a detailed examination of key local themes - land, poverty, politics, emigration, the status of the Irish language, the influence of radical republicans and the authority of the Catholic Church - it offers a probing analysis of the socio-political realities of life in the new state. This book opens up a new dimension by providing a rural contrast to the Dublin-centred views of Irish politics. Significantly, it reveals the level of deprivation in local Free State society with which the government had to confront in the west. Rigorously researched, it explores the disconnect between the perceptions of what independence would deliver and what was achieved by the incumbent Cumann na nGaedheal administration.

Art treatments & subjectsJanuary 2010Understanding heritage in practice
by Susie West
Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this authoritative text explores how heritage is delivered and consumed in a global world, and the ever-increasing ways in which heritage is actively valued. New international case studies see heritage as social action, as performance, and as a vehicle for innovations in tourism, challenging the notion that only official heritage practices can successfully select and interpret our links with the past. Aimed primarily at students in heritage studies and professionals in heritage industries, this book is one of three in the Understanding Global Heritage series.

US diplomacy and the Good Friday Agreement in post-conflict Northern Ireland
by Richard Hargy
Richard Haass and Mitchell Reiss, as autonomous diplomats in the George W. Bush State Department, were able to alter US intervention in Northern Ireland and play critical roles in the post-1998 peace process. Their contributions have not been fully appreciated or understood. The restoration of Northern Ireland's power-sharing government in 2007 was made possible by State Department-led intervention in the peace process. There are few references to Northern Ireland in work examining the foreign policy legacy of the George W. Bush presidency. Moreover, the ability to control US foreign policy towards the region brought one of George W. Bush's Northern Ireland special envoys into direct diplomatic conflict with the most senior actors inside the British government. This book will uncover the extent of this fall-out and provide original accounts on how diplomatic relations between these old allies became so fraught.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The divorce of King Lothar and Queen Theutberga
Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio
by Rachel Stone, Charles West
In the mid-ninth century, Francia was rocked by the first royal divorce scandal of the Middle Ages: the attempt by King Lothar II of Lotharingia to rid himself of his queen, Theutberga and remarry. Even 'women in their weaving sheds' were allegedly gossiping about the lurid accusations made. Kings and bishops from neighbouring kingdoms, and several popes, were gradually drawn into a crisis affecting the fate of an entire kingdom. This is the first professionally published translation of a key source for this extraordinary episode: Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio Lotharii regis et Theutbergae reginae. This text offers eye-opening insight both on the political wrangling of the time and on early medieval attitudes towards magic, penance, gender, the ordeal, marriage, sodomy, the role of bishops, and kingship.The translation includes a substantial introduction and annotations, putting the case into its early medieval context and explaining Hincmar's sometimes-dubious methods of argument.
