Science Fiction Literature in East Germany
ISBN: 9783039107391 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. East German science fiction enabled its authors to create a subversive space in another time and place. One of the country s most popular genres, it outlined futures that often went beyond the party s official version. Many utopian stories provided a corrective vision, intended to preserve and improve upon East German communism. This study is an introduction to East German science fiction. The book begins with a chapter on German science fiction before 1949. It then spans the entire existence of the country (1949-1990) and outlines key topics essential to understanding the genre: popular...

From 1937 to 1944 the National Socialist regime organized a series of high-profile art exhibitions at the purpose-built Haus der Deutschen Kunst in Munich.

German Art 1907-1937: Modernism and Modernisation
ISBN: 9783039109005 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the responses of visual artists, including architects, designers and photographers, to the technological and social modernisation of Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century. It investigates how these aspects of the modernising process inform both the subject matter and formal innovations of their work. The study analyses how these visual practices were not just the concerns of isolated and enclosed art worlds but had wider social resonances, ranging from the debates concerning the reformist objectives of the Deutscher Werkbund (1907) to the...

Performing the Local and the Global; The Theatre Festivals of Lake Constance
ISBN: 9783039110476 / Angielski / Miękka / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the interplay between global and local influences in theatre festivals in the German-speaking border region around Lake Constance. Whilst opening up a fascinating yet under-researched theatre region to academic study, it also provides much-needed empirical grounding for often vague theories of place, globalisation and culture. Do we really live in a shrinking world dominated by a homogenising global culture industry, or are we experiencing the revival of local particularism ? To what extent is an apparently place-dependent cultural form such as theatre affected by the...

The Propaganda Warriors: The Wehrmacht and the Consolidation of the German Home Front
ISBN: 9783039115327 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has been generally assumed that the driving force behind German propaganda in World War Two was the Propaganda Ministry headed by Josef Goebbels, or the initiatives of various Nazi party organizations. There has been little research on the specific role of the Wehrmacht propaganda machine in this connection, even though it was the source for the bulk of German wartime propaganda material. This book deals with the history of the propaganda troops of the Wehrmacht, created shortly before WWII as a result of lessons learned concerning the importance of psychological warfare...

Personal Experience and the Media; Media Interplay in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Work for Theatre, Cinema and Television
ISBN: 9783631393246 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The work of the West German artist Rainer Werner Fassbinder is as versatile as it is extensive. During the 16 years of his artistic career, Fassbinder produced more than 40 films and staged 29 plays half of which he had written himself. In doing so he not only drew on aesthetic traditions as diverse as the German folk play, the American gangster film, Hollywood melodrama, the Theatre of Cruelty and the French Nouvelle Vague, but also worked in three media simultaneously: theatre, cinema, and television. It has often been pointed out that this versatility appears to forestall any...

Transnational Longfellow: A Project of American National Poetry
ISBN: 9783631535165 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study marks a decisive advance in Longfellow studies. Instead of making do with documenting the poet's literary contacts in a biographical context, as has been the custom in the past, the authors inquire into the uses he made of European works for the English-American literature in the making. Focusing on Longfellow's widely famous poem, Evangeline, and the internationally most ambitious poet's anthology, Tales of a Wayside Inn, they demonstrate that the poet-professor's program and practice of an integrative, transnational American poetry that includes translations adapts...

Addressing the issue of ghosts through our modern crisis of legitimacy, as raised by Benjamin,...

Other People's Pain: Narratives of Trauma and the Question of Ethics
ISBN: 9783034302609 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do we approach other people s pain? This question is of crucial importance to the humanities, particularly literary and cultural studies, whenever they address narratives of terror and genocide, injustice and oppression, violence and trauma. Talking about other people s pain inevitably draws attention to the ethical dimension involved in acknowledging stories and histories of violence while avoiding an appropriation by the reading public, literary critics or cultural historians alike of the traumatic experiences themselves. The question of how to do justice to the other s pain calls for...

Intellectual Communities and Partnerships in Italy and Europe: Studies in Honour of Mark Davie
ISBN: 9783034301725 / Angielski / Miękka / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book has been inspired by the emphasis that Mark Davie s studies have put on the cooperative nature of artistic and intellectual pursuits in the humanities. Whilst the importance of connections between intellectuals is often acknowledged in the form of intertextual studies, research into real dialogue between individuals is little researched, partly due to the practical challenges of such research. The ten chapters of this book written by specialists in different cultures redress in part this imbalance and offer a new angle on the canon by tracing the impact of concrete partnerships and...
