Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Travellers in Africa
British travelogues, 1850-1900
by Timothy Youngs
Works of travel have been the subject of increasingly sophisticated studies in recent years. This book undermines the conviction with which nineteenth-century British writers talked about darkest Africa. It places the works of travel within the rapidly developing dynamic of Victorian imperialism. Images of Abyssinia and the means of communicating those images changed in response to social developments in Britain. As bourgeois values became increasingly important in the nineteenth century and technology advanced, the distance between the consumer and the product were justified by the scorn of African ways of eating. The book argues that the ambiguities and ambivalence of the travellers are revealed in their relation to a range of objects and commodities mentioned in narratives. For instance, beads occupy the dual role of currency and commodity. The book deals with Henry Morton Stanley's expedition to relieve Emin Pasha, and attempts to prove that racial representations are in large part determined by the cultural conditions of the traveller's society. By looking at Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, it argues that the text is best read as what it purports to be: a kind of travel narrative. Only when it is seen as such and is regarded in the context of the fin de siecle can one begin to appreciate both the extent and the limitations of Conrad's innovativeness.

June 2012Stanley Cavell
Philosophy, literature and criticism
by James Loxley
Stanley Cavell: Philosophy, literature, and criticism is the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of the relationship between the celebrated philosophical work of Stanley Cavell and the discipline of literary criticism. In this volume, the editors have assembled an impressive range of interlocutors who set out to explore the shape and substance of Stanley Cavell's persistent acknowledgement of the literary as a category in which, and through which, philosophical work can be undertaken. A number of essays address his engagements with modernism, tragedy, and romanticism, while others consider Cavell's own aesthetic modes as a writer. Stanley Cavell: Philosophy, literature, and criticism will be of interest to all those who are concerned with the ways in which the reading of literature, and the practice of philosophy, might continue both to influence each other across disciplinary boundaries, and to challenge the internal topographies of those disciplines. ;

by M. Storch

by Edited by Daniel S. Mills, Jeremy N. Marchant-Forde, Paul D. McGreevy, David B. Morton, Christine J Nicol, Clive J. C. Phillips, Peter Sandøe, Ronald R. Swaisgood
Welfare research has established a range of scientific indicators of stress, welfare and suffering in animals that can be applied to all aspects of improving their welfare through good housing and management, and the topic continues to grow in importance among both professionals and the public. The practical focus of this authoritative, comprehensive encyclopedia aims to promote the understanding and improvement of animals’ behaviour without compromising welfare. Under the editorial direction of Professor Daniel Mills, the UK’s first specialist in veterinary behavioural medicine, over 180 international experts have contributed a wealth of fully cross-referenced entries from concise definitions to detailed short essays on biological, practical, clinical and ethical aspects of behaviour and welfare in domestic, exotic, companion and zoo animals.

The Barefoot Doctor
by Can Xue
The novel tells of the story about the growth of a barefoot doctor in a village. By means of the experiences of Sister Yi the barefoot doctor, Mi Yi, Hui Ju and other characters, the author manages to expose the real dependence relationship between man and nature, and between man and man, so as to construct a new kind of relationship in the future world from a brand-new perspective with lots of astounding descriptions. The scenes depicted in the novel belong to the future world, the plots, however, firmly stick to the reality. Thus the real and free conceptions in the novel are both down-to-earth and overwhelmingly shocking, from which every ordinary reader can find resonance and gain strength for life in it. Once again, the outlook of philosophy and nature of Can Xue has delicately and simply stood out in the novel in a literary way.

February 2016Das Leben der Florence Gordon
Roman
by Brian Morton
Drei eigenwillige Frauen aus drei Generationen: Florence Gordon, New Yorker Intellektuelle und seit Jahrzehnten glühende Feministin, ist unverblümt, eitel, stolz – und eine ziemliche Kratzbürste, die fünfundsiebzig Jahre lang so gelebt hat, wie es ihr gefiel. Sie braucht keine Gesellschaft, die sie ohnehin nur von der Arbeit abhalten würde, und als nun ihr Sohn Dan mit seiner Frau Janine und der halbwüchsigen Tochter Emily nach New York kommt, passt ihr das gar nicht. Emily hingegen sucht die Nähe zu Florence, gerade jetzt, wo sie sich von ihrem Freund getrennt hat – und nun auch noch die Ehe ihrer Eltern ins Wanken gerät. Ganz wie ihre Großmutter ist sie beharrlich und kämpferisch. Das gefällt Florence, und vielleicht kann sie Emily an sich heranlassen, eigentlich könnte sie ein wenig Hilfe auch gut gebrauchen – wenn da nur nicht ihr Stolz wäre … Ein ebenso kluger wie unterhaltsamer und humorvoller Roman über eine Familie und ihre eigenwillige Matriarchin, die gar keine sein will – mit Charakteren, die so lebendig sind, als liefe man ihnen in New York an der nächsten Straßenecke über den Weg.
