        »Angefügt, nahtlos, dem Heute« / »Agglutinati all'oggi«. Paul Celan übersetzt Giuseppe Ungaretti

        Zweisprachige Ausgabe. Italienisch / deutsch. Handschriften. Erstdruck. Dokumente

        by Paul Celan, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Peter Goßens

        Die Fragilität der Dinge, die Bedrohtheit der Existenz und, als ihr Begrenzendes, das Unermeßliche, aus dem Alles aufsteigt, flüchtig aufglänzt, in dem es wieder versinkt – das ist die Erfahrung, aus der heraus Ungaretti nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg zu dichten begonnen hat. Sie ist der Grundriß seines Dichtens geblieben.« Mit dieser Ankündigung erschien 1968 Paul Celans übersetzung von Giuseppe Ungarettis La terra promessa (1950) und Il taccuino del vecchio (1960) in einer zweisprachigen Ausgabe im Insel Verlag. Nach Ingeborg Bachmanns nur wenige Jahre älterer übersetzung (1961) trug Paul Celans Engagement entscheidend zur besonderen Stellung Giuseppe Ungarettis in Deutschland bei. Celans Übertragung ist in Ungarettis Werk auf besondere Weise eingegangen. In die Originalausgaben der Zyklen hat er, mit Ausnahme weniger eigenständiger Seiten, seine übersetzung hineingeschrieben, den gedruckten Text mit seiner handschriftlichen Arbeit unmittelbar konfrontiert. Den Faksimiles folgen Celans Übertragung nach dem Text der Erstausgabe, sein Briefwechsel mit der Lektorin des Insel Verlages, Anneliese Botond, die ganz unterschiedlich akzentuierten Pressestimmen und ein Nachwort, in dem die Geschichte der Übertragung dokumentiert und Celans übersetzungskonzept analysiert und bewertet wird. Die Genese der Übertragung, die »tangentiale« Berührung von übersetzung und Original, wird in der neuen Ausgabe vollständig als Faksimile abgebildet. »Diese Dichtung hatte das Glück, von Ihnen meisterhaft gedeutet zu werden.« Giuseppe Ungaretti über Paul Celans Übertragungen seiner Lyrik

        In den Bäumen blühen Steine

        Die erdachte Welt von Giuseppe Penone

        by Cees Nooteboom, Simone Sassen, Giuseppe Penone, Helga Beuningen

        Giuseppe Penone ist Skulpteur, Bildhauer, land artist – und einer der sonderbarsten Künstler der Gegenwart. Aber was genau macht er? Und was bedeuten uns seine Werke? Mit tastender Vorsicht nähert sich Cees Nooteboom – auf dessen Gedichte Penone immer wieder Bezug genommen hat – dieser schillernden Welt aus natürlichen Materialien, pflanzlichen Gesten und geologischen Arrangements. Penones Winken folgend, durchschreitet Nooteboom den eigenen menorquinischen Garten, sondiert das Gepräge der Steine und der Bäume und des Wassers, den beharrlichen Eigensinn der Natur und die flüchtige Beschaffenheit der Jahre – das, woraus wir gemacht sind. Und so entsteht ein verblüffendes und aufschlussreiches Zwiegespräch zwischen der Kunst und dem Schreiben. Was weiß die Natur von uns, was wir selbst nicht wissen? Wie verständigen sich die Steine? Haben Bäume eine Sprache? Und was heißt es, mit den Händen zu denken? Cees Nooteboom über Giuseppe Penone zu lesen – das bedeutet, sich auf das existenzielle Abenteuer des Beobachtens einzulassen.

        Gedichte

        Italienisch und deutsch

        by Giuseppe Ungaretti, Ingeborg Bachmann, Ingeborg Bachmann

        "Giuseppe Ungaretti, 1888 in Alexandria geboren, ist der Archipoeta, der Erzvater der modernen italienischen Dichtung. Man hat ihn einen Hermetiker genannt; aber dieses Schlagwort, zur Erklärung seines Werkes erfunden, hat es eher verdunkelt. Uns Heutigen erscheint es in strahlender Deutlichkeit, als ein Rätsel, das keiner Lösung bedarf. Ungaretti ist von nichts befangen; diese Freiheit ist es, was sein Dichten zu einem »offenbaren Geheimnis« macht: lapidar, unzweideutig, schön wie ein Kieselstein."

        Climate Change in Contrasting River Basins

        Adaptation Strategies for Water, Food and Environment

        by Edited by Jeroen Aerts, Peter Droogers

        Dealing with climate change is generally considered to be one of the greatest challenges for the coming decades. Changes in precipitation are likely to have a major impact on the hydrological cycle and subsequently on the environment and food production. However, until now clear guidance on how to respond to this challenge, particularly at the river basin level, has been lacking.This book has been developed from the ADAPT project, focusing on the development of regional adaptation strategies for water, food and the environment in river basins across the world. A generic methodology is presented and applied to seven case studies in contrasting geographical areas of the world: Mekong (SE Asia), Rhine (Western Europe), Sacramento (USA), Syr Darya (Central Asia), Volta (Ghana), Walawe (Sri Lanka) and Zayandeh (Iran).

        Impact of Carbon Dioxide and Other Greenhouse Gases on Forest Ecosystems

        by Edited by David Karnosky, Reinhart Ceulemans, Giuseppe Scarascia-Mugnozza, John L Innes

        Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and chlorofluorocarbons, are all increasing in the atmosphere. These gases are directly affecting biological processes in trees and ecological processes in forests.They are also causing considerable radiant energy to be trapped near the earth’s surface resulting in the so-called “greenhouse” effect which may significantly alter global climate in the 21st century. However, this issue is subject to some controversyThis book provides an authoritative review, written by expert world forest scientists, of what is known about the impact of elevated CO2 and other greenhouse gases on forest ecosystems.

        Intellectual Property Rights in Agricultural Biotechnology, 2nd Edition

        by Edited by Frederic H Erbisch, Karim M Maredia

        During the past twenty-five years, biotechnology has revolutionized agricultural research. The enormous potential, together with a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court to allow the patenting of genetically-engineered organisms has encouraged private sector companies to invest in agricultural biotechnology research programmes. This has contributed to a rapid growth in interest in intellectual property rights as applied to this subject.The first edition of this book was published in 1998. Now fully revised and updated it presents definitive information on intellectual property law in a simplified form (with a minimum of legal jargon). New chapters have been added which cover plant variety protection and farmers rights, and additional case studies.

        Common Agricultural Policy, 2nd Edition

        by Edited by Christopher Ritson, David R Harvey

        The first edition of this book, published in 1991 with the title The Common Agricultural Policy and the World Economy, was well received as a timely analysis of this fast-moving but important subject. However, several major developments, such as general CAP reform, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), expansion of the European Union, and relationships with eastern Europe, have justified the need for a new edition. As a result, the book has been thoroughly updated, with some completely new chapters added and others replaced. It has also be rewritten with a greater emphasis on the needs of students for a well-integrated, comprehensive textbook.

        The 'do-it-yourself' artwork

        Participation from Fluxus to New Media

        by Edited by Anna Dezeuze

        Viewers of contemporary art are often invited to involve themselves actively in artworks, by entering installations, touching objects, performing instructions or clicking on interactive websites. Why have artists sought to engage spectators in these new forms of participation? In what ways does active participation affect the viewer's experience and the status of the artwork? Spanning a range of practices including kinetic art, happenings, environments, performance, installations, relational and new media art from the 1950s to the present, this critical anthology sheds light on the history and specificity of artworks that only come to life when you - the viewer - are invited to 'do it yourself.' Rather than a specialist topic in the history of twentieth- and twenty-first century art, the 'do-it-yourself' artwork raises broader issues concerning the role of the viewer in art, the status of the artwork and the socio-political relations between art and its contexts.
