        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin

        This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

        Bertrand Tavernier

        by Lynn Anthony Higgins

        Bertrand Tavernier is widely recognized as the leading French filmmaker of his generation. Both a consummate artist and a controversial public figure, he is a passionate advocate for social causes and also a tireless defender of world cinema in general and the French cinematic heritage in particular. Lynn Higgins' book offers a guided tour through Tavernier's oeuvre, taking into account both its prodigious diversity and its unifying themes. It explores his use of genre and adaptation, his work with actors and his affection for characters, his treatment of France's colonial history, his explorations of the powers of art and the complexities of intergenerational relations, both among fictional characters and within French cinema history. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly book about Tavernier. Original and lively, sophisticated and engaging, the book will appeal to anyone interested in film studies, gender studies, and French cultural studies including academics, students, cinema enthusiasts, and Tavernier fans.

        Bertrand Blier

        by Sue Harris

        The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.

        Tina oder über die Unsterblichkeit

        by Arno Schmidt, Eberhard Schlotter, Eberhard Schlotter

        Nicht nur Homer kannte sich aus mit der Unterwelt. Auch Arno Schmidt, knapp 3000 Jahre später, hat seinen Lesern zu einem Blick ins Jenseitige verholfen. Sein Elysium liegt geradewegs unter Darmstadt, und wie bei Homer im Hades wollen auch die Seelen in Schmidts Erzählung, allesamt mehr oder weniger bekannte Dichter, nichts wie weg. Leider steht dieser Sehnsucht der im Diesseits so hartnäckig angestrebte Ruhm im Weg. Denn es gilt die Regel: »Jeder ist so lange zum Leben hier unten verdammt, wie sein Name noch akustisch oder optisch auf Erden oben erscheint.« Der Maler und Graphiker Eberhard Schlotter hat die so witzige wie bitterböse Satire auf den Dichtertraum von der Unsterblichkeit mit 25 Radierungen illustriert. Und Text wie Bild lassen keinen Zweifel: Nicht die Unsterblichkeit kann das Ziel sein, sondern das gnädige Vergessen: »endlich in Ruhe tot sein«!

        Abenteuer der Ideen

        by Alfred North Whitehead, Eberhard Bubser, Reiner Wiehl

        »Bei diesem Buch handelt es sich um eine Studie über den Begriff der Zivilisation und um den Versuch zu verstehen, wie es zur Entstehung zivilisierter Wesen kommt.« A. N. Whitehead Eine fundamentale Rolle spielen dabei Ideen: sie sind mit Emotionen und Zweckvorstellungen verbunden und stellen Antriebskräfte dar, die den Übergang von Gesellschaften und Kulturen bewirken. Dem Abenteuer dieser Ideen, ihrer Aufeinanderfolge und ihrem Kampf, widmet sich Whiteheads Buch, das einen ganz eigenen, spekulativen Beitrag zur Ideengeschichte darstellt.

        Moral in Zeiten der Krise

        by Horst-Eberhard Richter

        Keine Schurkenstaaten, wir allein sind schuld an der fortdauernden Finanzkrise und der Klimabedrohung. Einer ratlosen Politik fehlen die moralischen Kräfte, die für soziale Gerechtigkeit und für Zukunftsvorsorge unentbehrlich sind. Barack Obama stiftet Hoffnung. Aber die kann er nicht als Erlöser, die können wir nur selbst durch Wiedererweckung der Werte erfüllen, die uns abhanden zu kommen drohen. Horst-Eberhard Richter, vom ehemaligen Bundespräsidenten Johannes Rau als Analytiker und Therapeut des ganzen Landes bezeichnet, behandelt die großen Fragen, vor denen wir heute stehen. Die Lehre des Vaters der deutschen Friedensbewegung aus seiner reichen therapeutischen Erfahrung und Begegnungen mit Brandt, Gorbatschow, Sir Ustinov und vielen anderen lautet schlicht: Kein anderer Weg kann uns aus den Krisen herausführen als das Erstarken eines neuen moralischen Verantwortungsbewusstseins.
