      Facing Death

      Suicide as last emancipation?

      by Jean-Pierre Wils

      Assisted suicide has been the subject of much passionate debate in many societies. The philosopher and theologian Jean-Pierre Wils does not deny autonomy, but asks – on the basis of his profound historical and ethical knowledge – about the social consequences. Does the right to assisted suicide not in the long run lead to the obligation to decide for or against it? And does not the pressure towards a supposedly reasonable decision increase, as soon as the causation of one‘s own death is seen as a final act of self-realisation and emancipation, or even commended as such? Wils makes a strong plea for the debate to be held in a broader context, to remove our finiteness from cultural amnesia – and in doing so, lays the foundation for a contemporary discussion on assisted suicide.

      Contemporary art and ecological transformation in East and Southeast Asia

      by Meiqin Wang

      This anthology, presenting new research from fourteen scholars, delves into the interplay between contemporary art and ecological concerns in East and Southeast Asia. Focused on the concept of artistic remediation, the book unravels the diverse capacities of art to combat systemic anthropogenic destruction to the environment and ecology. At its core, the book articulates the ongoing ecological transformation in art and art history that embraces a paradigm shift in human-nature relationships, emphasizing interconnectedness of all life forms of the Earth. Bridging art studies, activism, and environmental studies, the book examines how artistic practices in the region have engaged with ecocritical reflection, biodiversity advocacy, sustainable practices, and environmental justice, among others. Providing a platform for critical and timely analysis of artistic interventions in the face of existential crises, the book acknowledges diverse voices of scholars who have situated their scholarship in the cultural and artistic specificities of various societies, locales, and communities in the region.

      The independent man

      Citizenship and gender politics in Georgian England

      by Matthew McCormack, Pamela Sharpe, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie

      'Independence' was an important ideal for men in Georgian England. In this period, however, the word meant much more than simply the virtues of self-sufficiency and impartiality. Most people believed that obligations absolutely compromised freedom and conscience, whereas 'independence' was associated with manly virtue and physical vigour. Fundamentally, the political world was thought to consist of 'independent men', exercising their consciences and standing up for the general good. As such, Georgians thought about political action and masculine virtue very differently to the ways in which we do today. In study, newly available in paperback, Matthew McCormack establishes the links between the histories of masculinity and politics, highlighting the centrality of 'manly' ideals in the political world and - conversely - the role of politics in the operation of gender ideology. ;

      Gedanken über die Lebenskunst

      by Giacomo Casanova, Eckart Kleßmann, Eckart Kleßmann

      Giacomo Casanova (1725 bis 1798) verstand sich als Schriftsteller und Philosoph. Unter seinen Werken finden sich eine Homer-übersetzung ins Italienische, ein umfangreicher utopischer Roman, eine Geschichte Polens, mathematische Abhandlungen, Gedichte, Satiren, Essays. In die Weltliteratur eingegangen ist er mit seinen Lebenserinnerungen (Histoire de ma vie), die erst 30 Jahre nach seinem Tod gedruckt wurden.Gedanken über die Zeitläufte und das menschliche Verhalten, über die Liebe, die Lust und das Laster, über die Frauen, Gott und die Welt, die sich in seinem ganzen Werk verstreut finden, sind hier zu einem Lesebuch zusammengefaßt und enthalten die praktische Lebensphilosophie eines Mannes, der im Bewußtsein vieler – zu Unrecht – nur noch als der große Verführer und Liebhaber weiterlebt

      Critical theory and Independent Living

      by Teodor Mladenov

      Critical theory and Independent Living explores intersections between contemporary critical theory and disabled people's struggle for self-determination. The book highlights the affinities between the Independent Living movement and studies of epistemic injustice, biopower, and psychopower. It discusses in depth the activists' critical engagement with welfare-state paternalism, neoliberal marketisation, and familialism. This helps develop a pioneering comparison between various welfare regimes grounded in Independent Living advocacy. The book draws on the activism of disabled people from the European Network on Independent Living (ENIL) by developing case studies of the ENIL's campaigning for deinstitutionalisation and personal assistance. It is argued that this work helps rethink independence as a form of interdependence, and that this reframing is pivotal for critical theorising in the twenty-first century.

      The dilemma of Authority

      by Allyn Fives

      The moral problem of authority is the challenge of reconciling legitimate authority (the right to rule) with the demands of freedom and rationality. In this book, I argue that authority can have legitimacy, but when it does it generates a moral dilemma, where the obligation to obey comes at some cost to freedom and reason. Hence, not only do I depart from the views of those who insist that authority can never have legitimacy, but also those who maintain that insofar as authority is legitimate it simply satisfies the demands of freedom or rationality. My focus here will be on both what it is that justifies authority (in particular focusing on membership, and the goods of membership) as well what type of reason an authoritative directive is, how it can come into conflict with others reasons, and how those conflicts are resolved.

      Ausgehen

      by Barbara Markovic, Mascha Dabic

      Die deutschsprachige Popliteratur der Gegenwart kommt aus Belgrad. Dort machte Barbara Markovic, Germanistin, Clubberin und Thomas-Bernhard-Fan, an dessen klassischer Erzählung Gehen unlängst eine überraschende Entdeckung: Überführte sie einzelne Sätze nicht nur aus dem Deutschen ins Serbische, sondern zugleich aus der Entsetzlichkeit von Bernhards Wien in die Entsetzlichkeit des Belgrader Nachkriegs-Nachtlebens, fügten sie sich unversehens – so spielerisch wie gnadenlos – zu einem völlig neuen und doch völlig Bernhardschen Remix: Aus »Gehen« wird »Ausgehen«, aus der Katastrophe im rustenschacherschen Hosenladen ein Social Suicide auf einem Plastikman-Konzert und aus der Irrenanstalt Steinhof der finale Rückzug vor die Glotze – Satz für Satz mit der kaskadenhaften Donnerwucht des Originals. Obwohl formal strengste Konzept- und Appropriationskunst, liest sich »Ausgehen« gleichzeitig so realistisch, daß man sich in Wien, Berlin oder New York genauso darin wiederfinden kann wie die Belgrader Szene jüngst bei Erscheinen des serbischen Texts, den Übersetzerin Mascha Dabic nun – quasi als Bumerang – in Bernhards Idiom zurückgeholt hat.

      The Complete Collection of Modern Chinese Prints by Lu Xun

      by Editorial Board of the Complete Works of Modern Chinese Prints Collected by Lu Xun

      This series contains about 1,800 modern prints collected by Lu Xun at that time, which authored by nearly 200 domestic printmakers and currently in the Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shanghai and the Lu Xun Museum in Beijing. It is showcasing the glorious history of modern Chinese woodcut art: In the 1920s and 1930s, in order to guide the artistic direction of Chinese literary youth, smashed the KMT’s counter-revolutionary cultural " encirclement and suppression", Mr. Lu Xun held a "woodcut workshop" in Shanghai, and cultivated a group of emerging woodcut backbone. These backbones led young artists in various regions of the country to create a large number of realistic works reflecting the suffering and tragic fate of the people at the bottom of the society at that time. They cruelly lashed the dark reality of society and called for national salvation and survival. These young woodcutters sent their woodcut works to Lu Xun, who not only guided their creation personally, but also spared no effort to collect, publicize and promote them to the public. With the active advocacy and support of Mr. Lu Xun, the emerging woodcut movement in China has developed vigorously, driving the modernization of Chinese art and leaving an indelible glorious footprint in the history of Chinese modern culture and art. This complete collection is a companion to the The Complete Collection of Foreign Prints by Lu Xun published in 2014.

      Picturing the Western Front

      Photography, practices and experiences in First World War France

      by Beatriz Pichel

      Between 1914 and 1918, military, press and amateur photographers produced thousands of pictures. Either classified in military archives specially created with this purpose in 1915, collected in personal albums or circulated in illustrated magazines, photographs were supposed to tell the story of the war. Picturing the Western Front argues that photographic practices also shaped combatants and civilians' war experiences. Doing photography (taking pictures, posing for them, exhibiting, cataloguing and looking at them) allowed combatants and civilians to make sense of what they were living through. Photography mattered because it enabled combatants and civilians to record events, establish or reinforce bonds with one another, represent bodies, place people and events in imaginative geographies and making things visible, while making others, such as suicide, invisible. Photographic practices became, thus, frames of experience.

      Giacomo Casanova über Glück, Liebe, Frauen

      by Giacomo Casanova, Ursula Voß

      Giacomo Casanova (1725 –1798) lebte sein ausschweifendes Liebesleben zum Genuß der lesenden Nachwelt. In der zwölfbändigen Histoire de ma vie, entstanden 1790, erzählt der berühmte Abenteurer und Frauenheld mit größter Offenheit aus seinem wechselvollen und ungewöhnlichen Leben, das ihn durch das Europa der Rokokozeit führte: Vom begabten Schüler zum Doktor beider Rechte, vom Kardinalsekretär in Rom zum Theatergeiger, Lotterieeinnehmer und Geheimagenten. In seinen Erinnerungen erweist sich Casanova als Kenner der Welt und des menschlichen Herzens, der die Frau nie zum Lustobjekt herabwürdigte, sondern als gleichwertige Partnerin schätzte und zum Dreh- und Angelpunkt mannigfacher Reflexionen macht. Casanova liebt die Frauen um ihrer selbst willen; nur in dem ekstatischen Glück, zu dem er sie »verführt«, kann er selbst höchste Seligkeit finden. Ursula Voß hat aus Casanovas Histoire de ma vie kurze, prägnante Textstellen über Glück, Liebe und Frauen ausgewählt und ihre Auswahl mit einem Nachwort versehen.

      Riceland Spiders of South and Southeast Asia

      by A T Barrion, Jim A Litsinger

      Spiders are among the most omnipresent and numerous predators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems, and without them insect pest populations would become out of control. Their potential as biological control agents can only be appreciated through a greater understanding of their abundance and species composition in different ecological systems. There is therefore a great need for literature providing guidance on spider identification. The spider fauna of several cultivated crops, in a number of regions of the world, has been well documented. There have been some previous attempts to record the spider fauna of rice in South and Southeast Asia, but these are scattered in the journal literature. This volume provides a comprehensive illustrated guide that can be used by specialists and novices to identify these spiders. The majority of the species covered were collected from a diversity of habitats in the Philippines. The bulk of the book consists of keys to the identification of families, genera and species of Philippine spiders, illustrated by more than 1000 line drawings and 100 colour photographs. A total of 339 species belonging to 134 genera within 26 families are recognized. Of these, 253 species and seven genera are new to science. Distribution maps for individual species and a classification scheme for Philippine riceland spiders are also provided. Overall, the work represents a major contribution to the literature for those interested in spiders or more generally in biological control and crop protection.
