»Das Rechtgefühl machte ihn zum Räuber und Mörder.« So erzählt es Heinrich von Kleist in seiner gleichnamigen Novelle über den Pferdehändler Michael Kohlhaas, der nach erlittenem Unrecht blutige Vergeltung übt. Sein Rachefeldzug ist noch zweihundert Jahre später Vorbild und Handlungsanweisung für Michaela Kohlhaas: Mutter zweier Kinder, Ehefrau, stellvertretende Friedhofsverwalterin. Befeuert von erfahrener Willkür und Ohnmacht, wird sie zur Aufsässigen. Doch wo Michael Kohlhaas mordet und brandschatzt, agiert sie vorrangig mit Worten: mit Zuspitzung, Übertreibung, Sabotage und Show. Einer vermeintlichen Hexe gleich, zieht sie fluchend und Verwünschungen aussprechend durchs Land. Und muss feststellen: Es ist von Nachteil, eine Frau zu sein. Es ist von Nachteil, sich zu wehren. Doch selbst wenn alle Welt sie für wahnsinnig erklärt – sie geht »mit wehenden Fahnen« ihrem Ende entgegen, auf ein gutes Ende hoffend, und doch ahnend: Ein solches Ende wird es vielleicht nicht geben. Heike Geißlers Michaela Kohlhaas ist eine tollkühne Überschreibung der berühmten Novelle von Heinrich von Kleist. Ihre Michaela ist eine Schimpfende, eine Stinkende, eine Zärtliche. Eine große Liebende, die nicht bloß Verbesserung will – sie verlangt Wiedergutmachung und Sühne. Und eine gänzlich andere Einrichtung der Welt.

The political era of media entrepreneur and multi-billionaire Silvio Berlusconi began in 1994. German journalist Michaela Namuth also arrived in Rome at that time. He became prime minister, she became a freelance correspondent for various newspapers. She spent the long period of his government with him. During this time, the populist Berlusconi not only paved the way for a far-right government, he was also an ice-breaker for other right-wing populists in Europe and elsewhere. What else happened during and after Berlusconi's time in power is told in 20 chapters of articles, reports and interviews. The result is a colourful mosaic of contemporary Italy. It is about publishing, design, crime fiction, the mafia, a women's factory, the south and Nutella. Under Berlusconi, the country has changed. Many speak of “Berlusconisation”, by which they mean the gradual weakening of democracy. It is a critical book, but also a declaration of love to a contradictory country whose name still has a special ring to many ears.

Das Verhältnis der deutschen Soziologie zum Nationalsozialismus ist merkwürdig: Trotz der gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung des Themas gibt es nur vereinzelte soziologische Analysen. Warum ist das so? In welchen Bereichen des Fachs fand überhaupt eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem »Dritten Reich« statt? Was könnte die Soziologie zur Erforschung des Nationalsozialismus und des Holocaust beitragen? Und was wäre der Gewinn für das Fach selbst, wenn es sich mit diesen Themen beschäftigte? Der Band versucht erstmalig, Antworten auf diese Fragen zu finden. Mit Beiträgen von Michael Becker, Henning Borggräfe, Michaela Christ, Helmut Dahmer, Christian Gudehus, Peter Imbusch, Kobi Kabalek, Carsten Klingemann, Beate Krais, Nina Leonhard, Elissa Mailänder, Ludger Pries, Karl-Siegbert Rehberg, Christoph Reinprecht, Gerhard Schäfer, Sonja Schnitzler, Hans-Georg Soeffner, Erhard Stölting und Maja Suderland.

An acclaimed biography of poet, pacifist and political firebrand Eva Gore-Booth. The Irish poet and activist Eva Gore-Booth (1870-1926) led a life defiantly at odds with her aristocratic origins. Choosing to live and work among the poor of Manchester, she campaigned on behalf of barmaids, circus performers, flower sellers and pit-brow lasses, her partner, Esther Roper, at her side. Gore-Booth was tireless in her pursuit of justice. She was a militant pacifist during the First World War, a champion of Irish independence and a pioneering thinker on gender and sexuality. She was also a prolific author, publishing nineteen volumes of poetry and prose that reflect the full force of her radical convictions. Featuring a new preface that situates Gore-Booth's life and work in the context of our current political climate, this biography reclaims her place as a significant figure of Anglo-Irish letters and an unsung hero of LGBT+ history.

This is the first book to explore the relationship between literary modernism and the British Empire. Contributors look at works from the traditional modernist canon as well as extending the range of work addresses - particularly emphasising texts from the Empire. A key issue raised is whether modernism sprang from a crisis in the colonial system, which it sought to extend, or whether the modern movement was a more sophisticated form of cultural imperialism. The chapters in Modernism and empire show the importance of empire to modernism. Patrick Williams theorises modernism and empire; Rod Edmond discusses theories of degeneration in imperial and modernist discourse; Helen Carr examines Imagism and empire; Elleke Boehmer compares Leonard Woolf and Yeats; Janet Montefiore writes on Kipling and Orwell, C.L. Innes explores Yeats, Joyce and their implied audiences; Maire Ni Fhlathuin writes on Patrick Pearse and modernism; John Nash considers newspapers, imperialism and Ulysses; Howard J. Booth addresses D.H. Lawrence and otherness; Nigel Rigby discusses Sylvia Townsend Warner and sexuality in the Pacific; Mark Williams explores Mansfield and Maori culture; Abdulrazak Gurnah looks at Karen Blixen, Elspeth Huxley and settler writing; and Bill Ashcroft and John Salter take an inter-disciplinary approach to Australia and 'Modernism's Empire'. ;
