Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2004Victorian demons
Medicine, masculinity, and the Gothic at the fin-de-siècle
by Andrew W. M. Smith
Victorian demons provides the first extensive exploration of largely middle-class masculinities in crisis at the fin de siècle. It analyses how ostensibly controlling models of masculinity became demonised in a variety of literary and medical contexts, revealing the period to be much more ideologically complex than has hitherto been understood, and makes a significant contribution to Gothic scholarship. Andrew Smith demonstrates how a Gothic language of monstrosity, drawn from narratives such as 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' and 'Dracula', increasingly influenced a range of medical and cultural contexts, destabilising these apparently dominant masculine scripts. He provides a coherent analysis of a range of examples relating to masculinity drawn from literary, medical, legal and sociological contexts, including Joseph Merrick ('The Elephant Man'), the Whitechapel murders of 1888, Sherlock Holmes's London, the writings and trials of Oscar Wilde, theories of degeneration and medical textbooks on syphilis. ;

September 2009Tristano
by Nanni Balestrini, Peter O. Chotjewitz, Peter O. Chotjewitz, Umberto Eco
»Tape Mark I« (1961) von Nanni Balestrini gilt als erstes Gedicht, das je auf einem Computer geschrieben wurde. Der Autor verfolgte jedoch einen radikaleren Plan: Er wollte am Rechner einen Liebesroman verfassen, in seine Bestandteile zerlegen und diese willkürlich kombinieren. 1966 erschien sein Tristano bei Feltrinelli – als »normales« Buch mit 10 Kapiteln zu jeweils 30 Abschnitten in einer festgelegten Reihenfolge. Vier Jahrzehnte später erlauben es die Fortschritte der digitalen Drucktechnik, das Buch so zu veröffentlichen, wie der Autor es ursprünglich geplante hatte: Per Computer werden aus den 30 Abschnitten der 10 Kapitel jeweils 20 ausgewählt und in eine neue, zufällige Reihenfolge gebracht. Somit ist jedes der 2.000 Exemplare dieser deutschen Originalausgabe ein Unikat. Alle Bände sind auf dem Umschlag fortlaufend nummeriert. Die ersten 5.999 Tristano-Romane sind in italienischer Sprache bei Derive Approdi (Rom) erschienen. Die deutsche Ausgabe beginnt mit der Nummer 6.000 und endet mit der Nummer 7.999. Im Anschluß sind englische und französische Ausgaben geplant. Mit einem Vorwort von Umberto Eco und einem Nachwort von Peter O. Chotjewitz.

Science & MathematicsApril 2022Nematodes as Model Organisms
by Itamar Glazer, David I Shapiro-llan, Paul W. Sternberg
Nematodes, which are small multi cellular organisms have been used as biological models since the 1960's. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living nematode, about 1mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000 cells, and has a short life cycle of only 2 weeks. It was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. The book includes chapters that summarize the importance of nematodes as model organisms in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. Of interest to a broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, the book is useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and pharmacologist for exploration of drugs and medicine (including the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.

September 1977Textsemiotik als Ideologiekritik
Beiträge von Peter V. Zima, Julia Kristeva, Umberto Eco, Algirdas J. Greimas, Hans Günther, Jurij M. Lotman, Jan Mukar#^ovsky', Miçhail Bachtin. Herausgegeben von Peter V. Zima
by Peter V. Zima, Peter V. Zima
Die in dem vorliegenden Band versammelten französischen, italienischen, sowjetischen und tschechischen Studien sollen helfen, den Arbeits- und Wirkungsbereich einer kritischen Semiotik abzustecken, und zwar durch Gegenüberstellung szientistischer und kritischer Ansätze von U. Eco, A. J. Greimas, J. Kristeva, J. Lotman, M. Bachtin, J. Mukařovský u.a. Das den Band und seine Beiträge bestimmende Interesse ist es, Konzepte der Semiotik aufeinander zu beziehen, sie im Sinne der »Kritischen Theorie« zu interpretieren, um Ideologie auf der Ebene der »Textstruktur« erfassen zu können.

MedicineApril 2022Fraser’s The Behaviour and Welfare of the Horse
by Christopher B Riley, Sharon E Cregier, Andrew F Fraser
This book continues to provide a comprehensive overview of equine behaviour and an outline of current advances in our understanding, as well as offering insights into contemporary and future challenges for improving horse welfare and safety. Completely updated and revised, a new, international, expert editorial team builds on Andrew Fraser's decades of work as an ethologist, veterinarian, historian, horseman, breeder, trainer, conservationist, and field scientist, sharing essential knowledge to improve horse behaviour and welfare. A range of international experts and key opinion leaders have updated this edition to include the effects of noise on the horse's welfare, husbandry and grazing management including the identification of harmful plants and issues of climate change. New illustrations and examples bring the book to life and further help to explain equine behaviour in a whole range of different situations, including road transport and horse safety during transport. The text covers key issues concerning equipment and the horse's mouth. It gives new insights into genetics, temperament and horse vocalisations and what these indicate. Welfare assessment models are outlined and the challenges presented in different equestrian sports debated. Difficult topics such as euthanasia are covered also. This classic text remains an essential resource for veterinarians, animal scientists, equine professionals and horse owners.

June 1978Kritik der Literatursoziologie
by Peter V. Zima
In den Aufsätzen dieses Bandes werden die Methoden insbesondere der empirischen und der traditionalen marxistischen Literatursoziologie kritisiert. Im Gegenzug und in Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Methoden skizziert Zima ein literatursoziologisches Verfahren, das sich, semiotisch gerüstet, auf die Textstruktur einläßt, d.h. literarische Texte angemessen: als literarische, soziologisch zu verstehen sucht. Zima stützt sich dabei auf Konzepte einerseits des Formalismus und des Strukturalismus, andererseits auf die Ästhetik Th. W. Adornos.

The environmentJanuary 2000Invertebrates as Webmasters in Ecosystems
by Edited by David C Coleman, Paul F Hendrix
The purpose of this book is to review and assess our current understanding of invertebrates in terrestrial and terrestrially-dominated (i.e. lower-order stream) ecosystems. It emphasises the centrality of the activity of invertebrates, which influence ecosystem function far out of proportion to their physical mass in a wide range of situations, particularly at the interface between land and air (litter/soil), water and land (sediments) and in tree canopies and root/soil systems. Consisting of 16 chapters by authors from the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia, the book is essential reading for ecologists and invertebrate biologists.
