Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2024Courteous exchanges
Spenser's and Shakespeare's gentle dialogues with readers and audiences
by Patricia Wareh
Courteous Exchanges explores the significant overlap between Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene and Shakespeare's plays, showing how both facilitate the critique of Renaissance aristocratic identity. Moving from a consideration of Castiglione's Book of the Courtier as a text that encouraged reader engagement, the book offers new readings of Shakespeare's plays in conjunction with Spenser. It pairs Love's Labour's Lost, Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, and The Winter's Tale with The Faerie Queene in order to explore how topics such as education, gender, religion, race, and aristocratic identity are offered up to reader and audience interpretation.

Children's & YAThe Candy Guild (2). The Lost Recipe
by Tanja Voosen/ Viktoria Gavrilenko
Magical sweets and real miracles? Elina has experienced them both in Belony, and now she can hardly wait to dip deeper into the world of the candy crafters.

Old Mr Snotty knows where they can get help, and he takes Elina and her friends to Bittersweet Avenue.

There are also rumours about the return of the mysterious Otherwise Society, which has tried once before to bring down the mighty Candy Guild. When Mr Snotty suddenly disappears without a trace, it’s up to Elina, Charlie and Robin to follow the clues he has left behind for them.

Ein Atlas des verschwindenden Europas
by Katharina Raabe, Monika Sznajderman
Europa verändert sein Gesicht. Orte und Landschaften werden verlassen, sie verfallen oder verschwinden ganz. Zwischen Atlantik und Kaspischem Meer, zwischen Adria und Barentssee stößt man auf Ruinen der modernen Zivilisation: auf Industriebrachen, einstürzende Bahnhöfe, Kasernen und Sanatorien, auf tote Schienenstränge oder unentzifferbare Grabinschriften. Vor allem in Mittel- und Osteuropa sind die Narben einer von Krieg, Vertreibung und megalomanischer Naturbeherrschung gekennzeichneten Epoche noch sichtbar. Autorinnen und Autoren aus fünfzehn europäischen Ländern haben ihre sie besonders inspirierenden Orte besucht und erkundet - fragile Stadtviertel, zerfallene Dörfer, abbröckelnde Küstenstriche, deren Aura gefangennimmt, die ein Geheimnis bergen, das ergründet werden will. Liegt ihr Zauber darin, daß sie die letzten ihrer Art sind? Unterirdische Beziehungen, überraschende kulturelle Verwandtschaften zwischen weit voneinander entfernten Regionen werden sichtbar - Zeugen einer gemeinsamen Geschichte, deren undeutlich werdende Spuren kurz vor dem Verschwinden nachgezeichnet werden. Ergänzt um photographische Arbeiten von Künstlern, die sich unabhängig von den Autoren auf den Weg gemacht haben, um einen letzten Blick auf Vergessenes und Verlorenes zwischen Belgrad und Istanbul, Lissabon und Königsberg zu werfen, vermittelt dieser Band eine Ahnung von dem so fragilen wie bezaubernden Reichtum unseres Kontinents.

Berlin, Techno und der Easyjetset
by Tobias Rapp
Techno ist tot, zumindest offiziell. In Wirklichkeit waren elektronische Musik und die nächtliche Subkultur des Ausgehens – jenseits von sozialen Utopien und Love Parade – nie kreativer und interessanter als heute. Und nie so an einem Ort konzentriert: Jedes Wochenende bevölkern junge Leute aus ganz Europa ein paar Kilometer am Berliner Spreeufer; sie kommen mit Billigfliegern und bleiben nicht selten, bis die letzte After Hour nach Tagen fast wieder ins nächste Wochenende mündet ... Tobias Rapp, selbst DJ und ein intimer Kenner der Szene, porträtiert die faszinierendste, exzessivste und insgeheim einflußreichste Hauptstadtkultur und ihre Protagonisten: Tänzer und DJs, Musikproduzenten und Stadtplaner.

Zur Optimierung von Gesellschaft und Psyche
by Vera King, Benigna Gerisch, Hartmut Rosa
Das Streben nach Optimierung kann gegenwärtig als eine der bedeutsamsten Leitvorstellungen gelten. Wer nicht abgehängt werden will, hat kaum eine andere Wahl, als sich auf das rastlose Bemühen um Selbstverbesserung einzulassen – mit weitreichenden Folgen für Arbeit und Familie, für Beziehungen, Körper und Selbst. In diesem Buch werden die Bedingungen und die Auswirkungen sowie die Widersprüche und die Grenzen der Optimierung in Gesellschaft, Kultur und Psyche untersucht. Im Besonderen geht es um neue kulturelle Vorstellungen von Pathologie und Normalität. Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Heinz Bude, Ulrich Bröckling, Ève Chiapello, Alain Ehrenberg und Judy Wajcman.
