Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2020Death and the crown
Ritual and politics in France before the Revolution
by Anne Byrne
Looking at royal ritual in pre-revolutionary France, Death and the crown examines the deathbed and funeral of Louis XV in 1774, the lit de justice of November 1774, and the coronation of Louis XVI, including the ceremony of the royal healing touch for scrofula. It reviews the state of the field in ritual studies and appraises the status of the monarchy in the 1770s, including the recall of the parlements and the many ways people engaged with royal ritual. It answers questions such as whether Louis XV died in fear of damnation, why Marie Antoinette was not crowned in 1775 and why Louis XVI's coronation was not held in Paris. This lively, accessible text is a useful tool for under- and post-graduate teaching which will also be of interest to specialists on this under-researched period.

April 2019Der Pariser Bauer
by Louis Aragon, Lydia Babilas
Der Pariser Bauer aus dem Jahr 1926 ist ein Hauptwerk des französischen Surrealismus und bedeutet einen kühnen Bruch mit den erzählerischen Konventionen seiner Zeit. Die drei Teile des Romans stehen in einem losen Zusammenhang. Im ersten Teil beobachtet Aragon aus seiner Wohnung an der Pariser Passage de l’Opéra das Treiben der Menschen, die Geschäftigkeit um die Passage. Was er sieht, schildert er mit abgeklärter Nüchternheit – dabei schlagen die Wirklichkeitsmarkierungen der Szenerie im Moment seines Hinblickens immer wieder ins Surreale um. Der zweite Teil beschreibt einen nächtlichen Spaziergang mit Marcel Noll und André Breton. Nicht das Stadtzentrum, sondern die Natur steht nun im Vordergrund, wenn Aragon und seine Begleiter durch Parks im Norden von Paris laufen. Der dritte Teil, der »Traum des Bauern«, besteht aus Gedanken, Überlegungen und erzählerischen Passagen poetologischen und metaphysischen Inhalts. Der Pariser Bauer betreibt ein virtuoses ästhetisches Spiel mit dem Prinzip des Zufalls. Und er zeichnet sich durch seine Montagetechnik aus. So bindet Aragon Ausschnitte aus Zeitungen undMagazinen, Inschriften, Reklamen und Schilder in seinen Text ein, wie um das Erzählte in der Wirklichkeit zu verankern und zu beglaubigen.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2018David and Bathsheba
By George Peele
by Mathew R. Martin, David Bevington
David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

A savage song
Racist violence and armed resistance in the early twentieth-century U.S.–Mexico Borderlands
by Margarita Aragon
This book examines key moments in which collective and state violence invigorated racialized social boundaries around Mexican and African Americans in the United States, and in which they violently contested them. Bringing anti-Mexican violence into a common analytical framework with anti-black violence, A savage song examines several focal points in this oft-ignored history, including the 1915 rebellion of ethnic Mexicans in South Texas, and its brutal repression by the Texas Rangers and the 1917 mutiny of black soldiers of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Houston, Texas, in response to police brutality. Aragon considers both the continuities and stark contrasts across these different moments: how were racialized constructions of masculinity differently employed? How did African and Mexican American men, including those in uniform, respond to the violence of racism? And how was their resistance, including their claims to manhood and nation, understood by law enforcement, politicians, and the press? Building on extensive archival research, the book examines how African and Mexican American men have been constructed as 'racial problems', investigating, in particular, their relationship with law enforcement and ideas about black and Mexican criminality.
