Berlin spielt seit 1989 bei den Diskussionen um das Thema Metropole eine besondere Rolle.

Der Entwurf temporarer Berlinbilder trug zur neuerlichen Verortung der vormals politisch determinierten Stadt...

ISBN: 9783039119318 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The 1968 events were profoundly international in character, transcending any one national context and interacting with other movements across the world.

The purpose of this volume is to examine the memory of 1968 across different national settings, looking at the cases of France, Germany, Italy, the United States, Mexico and China. How has 1968 been (re)produced and/or contested within different national cultures and how do these...

Romanticism, Reaction and Revolution: British Views on Spain, 1814-1823
ISBN: 9783034322492 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When the Peninsular War ended in 1814, the prolonged struggle had all but exhausted both British government finances and the British public's enthusiasm for war. The authoritarian rule of Ferdinand VII aroused long-standing British suspicions of Spanish ways, which emerged in British literary works that depicted a retrograde, fanatical Spain. The tumultuous years following Ferdinand's reign also led to divisions among the European powers, some favouring the restoration of Ferdinand, with the British government and liberal forces vehemently opposed. This diverse volume focuses on...

Playing False: Representations of Betrayal
ISBN: 9783034308670 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 345 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Betrayal has never gone out of fashion.

Constellations of Reading: Walter Benjamin in Figures of Actuality
ISBN: 9783039118601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. How to read Walter Benjamin today? This book argues that the proper way is through an approach which recognizes and respects his own peculiar theorization of the act of reading and the politics of interpretation that this entails. The approach must be figural, that is, focused on images, and driven by the notion of actualization. Figural reading, in the very sui generis Benjaminian way, understands figures as constellations, whereby an image of the past juxtaposes them with an image of the present and is thus actualized. To apply this method to Benjamin s own work...

The essays in this volume explore different strategies for enriching the ongoing debates on this issue, ranging from historical case studies to theoretical examinations of cultural interdependencies and the aesthetic potential of literature and art. The...
