        The new pornographies

        Explicit sex in recent French fiction and film

        by Victoria Best, Martin Crowley

        The turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed the striking advance of pornography into the Western cultural mainstream. Symptomatic of this development has been the use by writers, artists, and film-makers of the imagery and aesthetics of pornography, in works which have, often on this basis, achieved considerable international success. Amongst these artists are a number of French authors and directors - such as Michel Houellebecq, Catherine Breillat, Virginie Despentes, or Catherine Millet - whose work has often been dismissed as trashy or exploitative, but whose use of pornographic material may in fact be indicative of important contemporary concerns. In this study of a very significant trend, the authors explore how the reference to pornography encodes diverse political, cultural, and existential questions, including relations between the sexes, the collapse of avant-garde politics, gay sexualities in the time of AIDS, the anti-feminist backlash, the relation to the body and illness, the place of fantasy, and the sexualisation of children. It will be of interest to undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in the fields of French culture, gender, film and media studies.

        Erinnerungen an Willy Brandt

        by Hans Mayer

        1964 kommt es in der Berliner Wohnung von Günter Grass zu einem bemerkenswerten Treffen: Auf Initiative des damaligen Regierenden Bürgermeisters Willy Brandt diskutieren Politiker, darunter Brandt selbst, Herbert Wehner und Fritz Erler, mit Schriftstellern und Intellektuellen, darunter Hans Mayer, Uwe Johnson, Ingeborg Bachmann und Walter Jens, über das Ende der ära Adenauer. Daran und an vieles mehr erinnert sich Hans Mayer in diesem Buch. Daß Willy Brandt zu den wichtigsten Bewegern des 20. Jahrhunderts gehörte. Daß er eine der großen Gestalten des deutschen öffentlichen Lebens nach 1945 gewesen ist: Regierender Bürgermeister von Berlin, Außenminister, Bundeskanzler, Friedensnobelpreisträger. Es ist eine bemerkenswerte Lebensgeschichte, die der Autor hier parallel zu seiner eigenen beschreibt: Hans Mayer ist Jahrgang 1907, Willy Brandt Jahrgang 1913. Der eine tritt der Sozialistischen Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands (SAPD) in Köln, der andere dem SJV (Sozialistischen Jugendverband) in Lübeck bei, beide linke Abweichler, beide Dissidenten, die sie bleiben sollten.Wer war Willy Brandt wirklich? Wer waren seine Wegbegleiter, wer – neben Herbert Wehner – seine großen Gegner, und was veranlaßte ihn 1974 anläßlich der im Grunde harmlosen Affäre um Günter Guillaume auf dem Höhepunkt seiner politischen Karriere zum Rücktritt? Beginnend mit Brandts Kindheit, zeichnet Hans Mayer den Lebensweg Brandts über das Exil in Norwegen bis hin zur beispiellosen Karriere eines Politikers nach, dessen grundlegendes Ziel die Wiedervereinigung der beiden deutschen Staaten war.
