        Pasts at play

        Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914

        by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling

        This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.

        Algerian national cinema

        by Guy Austin

        This topical and innovative study is the first book on Algerian cinema to be published in English since the 1970s. At a time when North African and Islamic cultures are of increasing political significance, Algerian National Cinema presents a dynamic, detailed and up to date analysis of how film has represented this often misunderstood nation. Algerian National Cinema explores key films from The Battle of Algiers (1966) to Mascarades (2007). Introductions to Algerian history and to the national film industry are followed by chapters on the essential genres and themes of filmmaking in Algeria, including films of anti-colonial struggle, representations of gender, Berber cinema, and filming the 'black decade' of the 1990s. This thoughtful and timely book will appeal to all interested in world cinemas, in North African and Islamic cultures, and in the role of cinema as a vehicle for the expression of contested identities. By the author of the critically-acclaimed Contemporary French Cinema.

        Roman

        by Guy Helminger

        Die langsame Louise träumt auf dem Sofa von einer Reise nach Neuseeland; für ihren Mann Feltzer, den Taxi fahrenden Choleriker, sind die angenehmsten Fahrgäste fünf ausgemergelte Stoffgiraffen. Man könnte es eine einigermaßen glückliche Ehe nennen. Sehnsüchte schweifen in die Ferne, der Alltag klebt hartnäckig am Hier und Heute, und ein leises Unbehagen durchzieht das Zusammenleben. Ein fremder Mann sitzt allzu traulich mit Louise auf dem Sofa. Und bleibt nach einer Fahrt in Feltzers Taxi verschwunden.

        Die Grenzen kulturwissenschaftlicher Begriffsbildung

        Heidelberger Max-Weber-Vorlesungen 1982

        by Guy Oakes

        Dieses Buch soll dazu beitragen, die philosophischen Wurzeln von Webers Methodologie freizulegen und insbesondere den Zusammenhang seiner Position mit der Wertlehre Rickerts aufzuklären. Dabei bildet die Frage nach dem Verhältnis zwischen der Begründung der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität bei Weber auf der einen und Rickerts Lösung des Problems der Wertobjektivität auf der anderen Seite den Kernpunkt der Untersuchung. Anhand der Bestimmung dieses Verhältnisses soll nicht nur gezeigt werden, daß Webers Begriff der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität von Voraussetzungen ausgeht, die in Rickerts Werttheorie angelegt sind, sondern auch, daß es eben diese Voraussetzungen sind, die eine plausible Lösung des Objektivitätsproblems unmöglich machen.
