March 2009Hero und Leander
by Musaios, Marion Giebel, Marion Giebel
Hero, von den Eltern zur Priesterin bestimmt, lebt allein in Sestos am nördlichen Ufer der Dardanellen. Im gegenüberliegenden Abydos stürzt sich auf der asiatischen Seite Leander allnächtlich in die Fluten, um, geleitet von der Öllampe, die Hero ins Fenster ihres Wohnturms stellt, zu ihr zu gelangen – bis eines Nachts im Sturm die Flamme verlischt. Die Sage von den zwei Königskindern, die zusammen nicht kommen können, weil das Wasser viel zu tief ist, hat schon Ovid gestaltet, ihre vollendete Fassung, auf die sich auch Bearbeiter wie Schiller und Grillparzer beziehen, findet sich aber in dem Versepos des Musaios, der um 500 nach Christus lebte. In der neuen, eleganten Prosaübertragung von Marion Giebel wird dieser anrührende Text, mit bildnerischen Darstellungen des Mythos aus verschiedenen Zeiten sowie einem die geschichtlichen Zusammenhänge erläuternden Nachwort versehen, wieder auf deutsch zugänglich gemacht.

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2011Three seventeenth-century plays on women and performance
by Paul Edmondson, Hero Chalmers, Julie Sanders, Sophie Tomlinson, Martin White
This is a ground-breaking edition of three seventeenth-century plays that all engage in diverse and exciting ways with questions of gender and performance. The collection, edited by three pioneering scholars of elite female culture and early modern drama, makes the texts of three much-discussed plays - John Fletcher's The Wild-Goose Chase, James Shirley's The Bird in a Cage and Margaret Cavendish's The Convent of Pleasure - available together in a full scholarly edition for the first time. The Wild Goose Chase (1621) and The Bird in a Cage (1633) were both performed in the commercial London theatres in the Jacobean and Caroline periods respectively. The Convent of Pleasure (1668) is a so-called 'closet' drama, designed primarily for reading but drawing on a tradition of aristocratic theatricals. In a wide-ranging co-authored introduction to the volume, the editors explore the concerns of these playtexts in relation to contemporary debates surrounding popular festivity and anti-theatricalism, as well as the agency of elite female culture in the Stuart period and the emergence of the professional female actor in the Restoration. The volume will be an invaluable teaching and research tool for students and scholars of early modern drama, women's writing and performance studies more generally, as well as providing a rich sourcebook for the reader interested in seventeenth-century theatrical culture. ;

September 2020Song of Heroes
by Nie Mao
Song of Heroes is an ode dedicated to heroes. It consists of seven movements, adorned with starting tune, overture, ending tune and after sound. It is in the form of symphonic poems, dedicated to an integration of being epic, lyrical, realistic and vanguard. With lofty beliefs, the poet started writing from Mao Anying's heroic deeds, using time, space, characters, and events as a narrative line to extol a large number of evocative heroes and heroic deeds moving forward in adversity. Not only did the author write about the hero representatives of various important periods, such as Zhao Yiman, Zhao Dengyu, and Xia Minghan, but also wrote about some hero groups, such as the five heroes of the Langya Mountain, the two bombs and one star hero group, and the space hero group. This majestic ode to heroes is tenacious and tragic. It expresses the immortal historical feats made by the heroes for the Chinese revolution, China's construction and the Chinese people. It helps children understand historical heroes by reading poetry, feels the heroic deeds and inspires them with national pride and cultural self-confidence.

April 2022Tourism Planning and Development in Western Europe
by Konstantinos Andriotis, Carla Pinto Cardoso, Dimitrios Stylidis
For many decades, Western European countries have undertaken diverse pathways in tourism development and planning. Most have experienced fast or even unlimited growth, resulting in overtourism and, now, the introduction of policies that respect the limits of communities and the sustainability of their resources. Focusing exclusively on tourism development, planning and policy, this book draws together new voices to discuss issues across Belgium, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK. It: - Provides both successful and unsuccessful case studies to illuminate real, practical solutions, developed by tourism scholars who are experts in their researched context countries. - Adopts a range of methodological approaches to cover diverse and less-covered areas such as industrial tourism, saltpans, natural and cultural heritage, and micro-destinations. - Considers post-COVID tourism and the significant role of tourism stakeholders in Western Europe's re-development. An invaluable collection for policy-makers, researchers and academics, this book is also an insightful source of engaging contemporary case studies for use in the classroom.

Empire,Identity and K.S. Ranjitsinhji
by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Satadru Sen
This book is a study of mobility, image and identity in colonial India and imperial Britain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is a model for studies of migrant figures like K.S. Ranjitsinhji who emerged during the imperial period. Ranjitsinhji is an important figure in the history of modern India and the British empire because he was recognized as a great athlete and described as such. The book focuses on four aspects of Ranjitsinhji's life as a colonial subject: race, money, loyalty and gender. It touches upon Ranjitsinhji's career as a cricketer in the race section. The issue of money gave Indian critics of Ranjitsinhji's regime the language they needed to condemn his personal and administrative priorities, and to portray him as self-indulgent. Ranjitsinhji lived his life as a player of multiple gender roles: sometimes serially, and on occasion simultaneously. His status as a "prince" - while not entirely fake - was fragile enough to be unreliable, and he worked hard to reinforce it even as he constructed his Englishness. Any Indian attempt to transcend race, culture, climate and political place by imitating an English institution and its product must be an unnatural act of insurgency. The disdain for colonial politics that was manifest in the "small rebellions" at the end of the world war converged with the colonized/Indian identity that was evident at the League of Nations. Between the war and his death, it is clear, Ranjitsinhji moved to maximize his autonomy in Nawanagar.

April 2008Treibsand urbar machen
Movos Erben
by A. F. Th. Heijden, Helga Beuningen
In der Rotterdamer Kneipe "Zora’s Place", einem Treffpunkt der ortsansässigen Fußballhooligans, wird hitzig diskutiert. Über Wilmer, der bei einer Hooliganschlacht von seinem Bruder mit einem Baseballschläger erschlagen worden ist. Über den Onkel der beiden, Hero Witlox, der anordnet, die Leiche auf einer Müllkippe abzulegen, weil Wilmer zur gegnerischen Truppe übergelaufen war und als Abtrünniger einer ordentlichen Bestattung nicht würdig ist. Und über Jolente, Wilmers Schwester, die sich mit aller Entschiedenheit gegen den Beschluß ihres Onkels auflehnt. Es ist das Antigone-Drama des Sophokles, das A. F. Th. van der Heijden aufnimmt, um vor den Augen des Lesers eine zeitgenössische Tragödie von archaischer Wucht ablaufen zu lassen. Kraftvoll, drastisch erzählt seine Novelle von einer Familie, die ihrem Verhängnis nicht entkommt, von einem Mann, der sein Leben auf Treibsand gebaut hat.
