August 2008Scharmützelwetter
Gedichte
by Saskia Fischer
Kein Frontalangriff, Nebenschauplätze sind es, über denen sich etwas zusammenbraut: Scharmützelwetter. Angriffs- und streitlustig wird ein Fluch ausgestoßen, eine Verstrickung aufgetrennt, kranke Fürsorge abgewiesen – ein lyrisches Ich entledigt sich des Gehorsams und erklärt sich zur Herrin der Lage. Wortwechsel mit Folgen. Eine souveräne Ironie ist dabei Wortführerin der Verse, angetrieben vom Sehnen und Hadern einer ernüchtert Liebenden, die vom Paradiesapfel weiß: »Diese Frucht verführt zu nichts als dem Ende. / Eine simple Sorte Gala / eröffnete die Vertreibung.« Saskia Fischers Gedichte sind erfahrungsgesättigt unsentimental, sehr gegenwärtig und unprätentiös.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2020Bordering intimacy
Postcolonial governance and the policing of family
by Joe Turner
Bordering intimacy explores the interconnected role of borders and dominant forms of family intimacy in the governance of postcolonial states. Combining a historical investigation with postcolonial, decolonial and black feminist theory, the book reveals how the border policies of the British and other European empires have been reinvented for the twenty-first century through appeals to protect and sustain 'family life' - appeals that serve to justify and obfuscate the continued organisation of racialised violence. The book examines the continuity of colonial rule in numerous areas of contemporary government, including family visa regimes, the policing of 'sham marriages', counterterror strategies, deprivation of citizenship, policing tactics and integration policy.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2023Intimacy and mobility in an era of hardening borders
Gender, reproduction, regulation
by Haldis Haukanes, Frances Pine
This book is a collection of articles by anthropologists and social scientists concerned with gendered labour, care, intimacy and sexuality, in relation to mobility and the hardening of borders in Europe. Interrogating the relation between physical, geopolitical borders and ideological, conceptual boundaries, it offers a range of vivid and original ethnographic case studies that will capture the imagination of anyone interested in gendered migration, policies of inclusion and exclusion, and regulation of reproduction and intimacy. The book presents ethnographic and phenomenological discussions of people's changing lives as they cross borders, how people transgress and reshape moral boundaries of proper gender and kinship behaviour, and moral economies of intimacy and sexuality. It also focuses on migrants' navigation of social and financial services in their destination countries, putting questions about rights and limitations on citizenship at the core.

Art & design styles: BaroqueOctober 2016The matter of miracles
Neapolitan baroque architecture and sanctity
by Series edited by Amelia Jones, Helen Hills, Marsha Meskimmon
This book investigates baroque architecture through the lens of San Gennaro's miraculously liquefying blood in Naples. This vantage point allows a bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of baroque relics and reliquaries. It shows how a focus on miracles produces original interpretations of architecture, sanctity and place which will engage architectural historians everywhere. The matter of the baroque miracle extends into a rigorous engagement with natural history, telluric philosophy, new materialism, theory and philosophy. The study will transform our understanding of baroque art and architecture, sanctity and Naples. Bristling with new archival materials and historical insights, this study lifts the baroque from its previous marginalisation to engage fiercely with materiality and potentiality and thus unleash baroque art and architecture as productive and transformational.
