Zur Transnationalisierung sozialer Ungleichheit
by Ulrich Beck, Angelika Poferl, Ulrich Beck, Manuel Castells, David Held, John W. Meyer, Saskia Sassen, Immanuel Wallerstein
Trotz des Elends der Welt, dessen Bilder jeden Tag in die Wohnzimmer gelangen, enden unsere Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen in der Regel an der Landesgrenze. Selbst Sozialpolitiker, die für Existenzgeld und Umverteilung eintreten, fordern im selben Atemzug Auffanglager für Flüchtlinge in Nordafrika. Doch mit den Kapital- und Bilderströmen gelangen auch die westlichen Ideale sozialer Gleichheit in alle Winkel der Erde, was absehbar zu neuen Konflikten führen wird. Wir sind daher gut beraten, unsere nationalstaatlich begrenzte Perspektive aufzugeben, um globalen Problemen und den weltweit lauter werdenden Forderungen nach sozialer Teilhabe und der Verwirklichung von Menschenrechten begegnen zu können. Dieser Reader gibt einen detaillierten Einblick in theoretische Konzepte und empirische Studien zu transnationaler sozialer Ungleichheit. Mit Texten von Ulrich Beck, Manuel Castells, David Held, John W. Meyer, Saskia Sassen, Immanuel Wallerstein und vielen anderen.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2004Victorian demons
Medicine, masculinity, and the Gothic at the fin-de-siècle
by Andrew W. M. Smith
Victorian demons provides the first extensive exploration of largely middle-class masculinities in crisis at the fin de siècle. It analyses how ostensibly controlling models of masculinity became demonised in a variety of literary and medical contexts, revealing the period to be much more ideologically complex than has hitherto been understood, and makes a significant contribution to Gothic scholarship. Andrew Smith demonstrates how a Gothic language of monstrosity, drawn from narratives such as 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' and 'Dracula', increasingly influenced a range of medical and cultural contexts, destabilising these apparently dominant masculine scripts. He provides a coherent analysis of a range of examples relating to masculinity drawn from literary, medical, legal and sociological contexts, including Joseph Merrick ('The Elephant Man'), the Whitechapel murders of 1888, Sherlock Holmes's London, the writings and trials of Oscar Wilde, theories of degeneration and medical textbooks on syphilis. ;

Science & MathematicsApril 2022Nematodes as Model Organisms
by Itamar Glazer, David I Shapiro-llan, Paul W. Sternberg
Nematodes, which are small multi cellular organisms have been used as biological models since the 1960's. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living nematode, about 1mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000 cells, and has a short life cycle of only 2 weeks. It was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. The book includes chapters that summarize the importance of nematodes as model organisms in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. Of interest to a broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, the book is useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and pharmacologist for exploration of drugs and medicine (including the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 1999The Maid's Tragedy
Beaumont and Fletcher
by David Bevington, T. W. Craik, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
Generally acknowledged to be the most powerful of Beaumont and Fletcher's plays and frequently performed by the best actors of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, The Maid's Tragedy (1610-11) disappeared from the stage (except in a much-altered and very successful Victorian adaptation) until recent years, when major companies have rediscovered its appeal. In this fully annotated edition, the editor has given careful attention to the sense of the lines, the stage action and the verse. Many new emendations of textual errors, as well as improvements in stage directions and lineation, are either introduced or proposed. The introduction explores Beaumont and Fletcher's use of the three known sources (two of them previously neglected) for incidents in the play, gives the fullest available account of its stage history, and provides a sympathetic interpretation of the play as a romantic tragedy. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2005Antonio and Mellida
John Marston
by David Bevington, W Gair, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
Antonio and Mellida was the first play by John Marston performed by the newly revived Paul's Company in 1599. Marston sought to display a variety of talents, comic, tragic, satiric and historical, advertising his own dramatic skills and the prowess of the choristers of Paul's. The play is based on incidents in the reigns of Sforza, Francesco, Galeazzo and Lodovico, who were Dukes of Milan in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Marston displays a detailed knowledge of the dramatic works of Shakespeare, Seneca, Kyd and Nashe as well as the prose of Sidney, Erasmus, Montaigne, Florio and others. This edition relates the play to a wide variety of literary contexts. It also includes a comprehensive introduction, an analysis of staging, and full commentary. The text is based on a collation of all known copies of the 1602 Quarto and is presented in a thoroughly modernised format. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2025Anthony Burgess and America
The untold story behind the American influences on Burgess’s life, work and legacy
by Christopher W Thurley
Anthony Burgess and America is a biographical and critical analysis of Burgess's commentary on and relationship with the United States of America. Utilising Burgess's entire canon and newly discovered materials to assess Burgess's views on America, this book also evaluates the American inspirations in five Burgess novels. This essential addition to Burgess scholarship tells the story of a nearly unexplored area of Burgess's life. For the first time ever, Burgess's American experiences, work, and documented communication, lectures, interviews and public utterances are brought together to assess where these commentaries overlapped with his fiction. The result is a complex personal and public history about one of Britain's greatest twentieth century authors and their immersion into and interaction with American culture in the second half of the twentieth century.
