The ArtsSeptember 2024Cases of citation
On literature in art
by Chloe Julius, Michael Green, Matthew Holman
Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards. Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular 'case of citation', the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists - including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski - whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can 'read' textual citations in art.

Civil service & public sectorMay 2017The absurdity of bureaucracy
How implementation works
by Nina Holm Vohnsen. Series edited by Professor Rod Rhodes
The absurdity of bureaucracy offers a humorous ethnographic account of policy implementation set in contemporary Danish bureaucracy. Taking the reader deep into the hallways of governmental administration and municipal caseworkers' offices, the book sets out to explore what characterizes policy implementation as a mode of human agency. Using the notions of absurdity and sense-making as lenses through which to explore the dynamic relationship between a policy and its effects, the book reclaims 'implementation studies' for the qualitative sciences and emphasizes the existential dilemma that any policymaker and implementer must confront. Following step-by-step the planning and implementation of the randomized controlled trial, Active - Back Sooner, the book sets out to show that 'going wrong' is not a question of implementation failure but is in fact the only way in which implementation may happen.

September 2018Die Carus-Sachen
by Uwe Tellkamp, Andreas Töpfer
Zu Carus gehen: so verabschiedet sich der Gynäkologe von den beiden Kindern, wenn er sich während der frühen Achtziger des 20. Jahrhunderts in Dresden auf den täglichen Weg zur Medizinischen Akademie Carl Gustav Carus macht. Der Namensgeber der Institution, 1869 in Dresden gestorben, kann als Prototyp der in der Romantik noch selbstverständlichen Doppelbegabung gelten: Naturwissenschaftler, Arzt wie Maler, Verfasser geisteswissenschaftlicher Studien (unter anderem über Goethe). Deshalb ist es nicht verwunderlich, wenn der Vater seine beiden Kinder zu Expeditionen in die unabhängige Kunstszene Dresdens und des Umlands verleitet – es sind die Carus-Sachen, die alle drei umtreiben, zu Versuchen eines Wiederanknüpfens an die ungeteilte Humanität anstiften.

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2014Soliman and Perseda, by Thomas Kyd
by Lukas Erne
Soliman and Perseda, written c. 1588 and first published in 1592 or 1593, is a late Elizabethan romantic tragedy by Thomas Kyd, author of The Spanish Tragedy. It dramatises the triangular relationship of the Turkish emperor Soliman, his captive Perseda and her beloved Erastus, and the fortunes of the comic servant Piston and the braggart knight Basilisco, against the fictionalised backdrop of the Turkish invasion of Rhodes in the early sixteenth century. The introduction to this facsimile edition contains the fullest analysis of the text to date. It also provides an account of the play's editorial history, a detailed analysis of its original printing, and lists of all erroneous readings in the first quarto, together with significant differences between the first and second quartos. This edition provides the best access we have to an important play by one of Shakespeare's leading early contemporaries. ;
