Herzl - Eine europäische Geschichte

Graphic Novel

by Camille de Toledo, Alexander Pavlenko, Eva-Maria Thimme

Das moderne Israel entstand in der Welt des alten Europa Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. 1882 bricht Ilya Brodsky mit seiner Schwester Olga auf der Flucht vor Pogromen vom Stetl in Russland auf. In Wien kreuzen sich ihre Wege mit denen des jungen Theodor Herzl, der inmitten der alten k. u. k.-Welt einen modernen jüdischen Staat entwirft. Ilya Brodsky erzählt von dieser für ihn wie das ganze 20. Jahrhundert folgenschweren Begegnung. Warum ergreift der mondäne, ganz Habsburgisch geprägte Herzl plötzlich Partei für seine Schwestern und Brüder im Osten Europas? Welche Träume, welche Gründe haben Herzl dazu geführt, ein »kommendes Land« zu entwerfen, wo schließlich alle vor der Verfolgung in ihren Heimatländern sicher sein sollten? Wie ist der zionistische Traum beschaffen, der bei Anbruch des 20. Jahrhunderts der Zerstörung auf dem alten Kontinent die Stirn bieten wollte?In diesem grafischen Roman zeichnen ein französischer Autor und ein russischer Zeichner die Stationen von Theodor Herzls Leben und Wirken nach. Bilder und Texte verbinden sich zu einer langen Reise von Wien über Budapest und Konstantinopel bis nach Jerusalem und Tel Aviv.

Innovation in Agri-food Clusters

Theory and Case Studies

by Peter W B Phillips, Jeremy Karwandy, Graeme Webb, Camille D Ryan

Innovation has moved through a range of revolutionary epochs, but there is no clear picture of how, or even if, innovation can be managed. This book explores the models, methods and metrics of innovation analysis in the context of a single centre: the Global Oilseeds Complex centred in Saskatoon, Canada. It is a single, coherent volume that outlines the theory and practices related to innovation, offering a critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches, backed up with empirical evidence.

Screening the Paris suburbs

From the silent era to the 1990s

by Philippe Met, Annie Fourcaut, Roland-François Lack, Jean-Louis Pautrot, Keith Reader, Margaret Flinn, Eric Bullot, Tristan Jean, Malcolm Turvey, Elisabeth Cardonne-Arlyck, Térésa Faucon, Philippe Met, Camille Canteux, Derek Schilling, Guillaume Soulez, David Vasse, Derek Schilling

Decades before the emergence of a French self-styled 'hood' film around 1995, French filmmakers looked beyond the gates of the capital for inspiration and content. In the Paris suburbs they found an inexhaustible reservoir of forms, landscapes and social types in which to anchor their fictions, from bourgeois villas and bucolic riverside cafés to post-war housing estates and postmodern new towns. For the first time in English, contributors to this volume address key aspects of this long film history, marked by such towering figures as Jean Renoir, Jacques Tati and Jean-Luc Godard. Idyllic or menacing, expansive or claustrophobic, the suburb served divergent aesthetic and ideological programmes across the better part of a century. Themes central to French cultural modernity - class conflict, leisure, boredom and anti-authoritarianism - cut across the fifteen chapters.

THE BEAST WITHIN HER

Marie has left her native countryside, and has taken a summer job in a Parisian brasserie. Staying with her parents’ friends, the husband regularly abuses her. So, she silences her shame and her pain, which leads the beast inside her to grow...

by Camille Lysière

Marie has just graduated from high school. She leaves her hometown and takes a summer job in a Parisian brasserie. During her stay, she is hosted by a couple, her parents’ friends. He is a shadowy journalist. She is a frustrated housewife. Marie, who dreams of a future in literature, is honored to have Olivier take an interest in her. He enjoys chatting with her, he takes her seriously. Marie feels important when he invites her to his office for a private chat. But this beautiful relationship gradually goes off track. There is that one time by the library when he holds onto her a little longer than necessary. Should she have said or done something?Since then, Olivier comes to her room to talk. The first time he sits on the bed, imploring. The next time, she struggles, but it is not enough. And every other night he comes back. Marie is devastated. Had she seduced Olivier in spite of herself? So she silences her shame and her pain, which leads the beast inside her to grow. Marie is not alone. In 2009, she is experiencing what other 17-year-old women like her have experienced in another times. Claudine in 1937, Isabelle in 1973 and Amandine in 1990. Travelling through time, this striking novel gives us the same story: the tragedy and the arbitrary nature of rape that shatters destinies.

Producing war, producing gender. French women at work in National Socialist Germany (1940-1945)

by Camille Fauroux

This book deals with the way in which the massive production of weapons, characteristic of the "total wars" of the twentieth century, disrupts gender relations in conflict-ridden societies. Camille Fauroux looks at the history of the 80,000 or so women who left France to work in the arms factories of National Socialist Germany. The book sheds light on the transnational dynamics of gender production, allowing us to think of women's stories in World War II Europe as linked, interdependent realities, rather than as parallel experiences.
