March 1998Mit doppelter Zunge
Roman
by William Golding, Wolfgang Held
Der Schriftsteller, Übersetzer und Pianist Wolfgang Held wurde am 15. August 1933 in Freiburg im Breisgau geboren. Er promovierte 1961 mit einer Arbeit über Georg Trakl. Von 1961-73 arbeitete er als Lektor für den Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienst (DAAD) an den Universitäten Madras (Chennai), Ljubljana und Edinburgh. Danach wurde er Senior Lecturer an der Greenwich University (früher Thames Polytechnic) in London, wo er ab 1973 lebte. Sein literarisches Werk besteht aus Romanen, Essays sowie Prosa- und Gedichtübersetzungen. Seine Romane umspannen die Karriere als Schriftsteller von 1965 (Die im Glashaus) bis 2014 (Schattenfabel). Es erschienen außerdem Die schöne Gärtnerin (1979), Ein Brief des jüngeren Plinius, Rabenkind (1985), Geschichte der abgeschnittenen Hand (1994) und Traum vom Hungerturm (2007). Helds Werk erfuhr Anerkennung unter anderem durch Einladungen zu literarischen Veranstaltungen (Treffen der Gruppe 47 1965, Wettbewerb zum Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preis 1983) und die Verleihung des Literaturpreises des Kulturkreises im Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie (1983). Durch seine Übersetzungen für Suhrkamp brachte Held Schlüsselfiguren der englischen und irischen Literatur einer breiteren deutschen Öffentlichkeit näher. Zu den übersetzten Werken gehören eine Biographie zu und Schriften von Samuel Beckett, eine Biographie zu Bernard Shaw, eine Biographie und Briefe von T.S. Eliot und Gedichte von Emily Bronte, John Donne, John Keats, Robert Graves, Edgar Allan Poe. Seine Bewunderung für E. T. A. Hoffmann inspirierte sein einziges Theaterstück Hoffmanns Verbrennung, für das er 1994 den Berganzapreis erhielt. Das Stück wurde 2015 mit Bühnenbildern aus seinem auf Hoffmanns Werk basierenden Collagenzyklus in Bamberg uraufgeführt. Text und Collagen wurden 2015 bzw. 2013 veröffentlicht. Helds Liebe zur Musik und Kunst war für seine Arbeit von zentraler Bedeutung. Als Pianist gab er Konzerte in Madras (Chennai), Bamberg und privat in London. Er schrieb eine Reihe von Sendungen für SWF und NDR, die er mit eigenen Einspielungen von Lieblingskomponisten wie Bach, Schubert und Schumann illustrierte. Held verstarb am 11. Dezember 2016 in London.

Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2020Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries
by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin
This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2021Post-everything
An intellectual history of post-concepts
by Herman Paul, Adriaan van Veldhuizen
Postmodern, postcolonial and post-truth are broadly used terms. But where do they come from? When and why did the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms emerge? And who exactly were the 'post boys' responsible for this? Post-everything examines why post-Christian, post-industrial and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated, not only among academics, but also in the popular press. It delves into the historical roots of postmodern and poststructuralist, while also subjecting more recent post-constructions (posthumanist, postfeminist) to critical scrutiny. This study is the first to offer a comprehensive history of post-concepts. In tracing how these concepts found their way into a broad range of genres and disciplines, Post-everything contributes to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2024The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia
Engaging in everyday struggle
by Alexandrina Vanke
Despite the intense processes of deindustrialisation around the world, the working class continues to play an important role in post-industrial societies. However, working-class people are often stigmatised, morally judged and depicted negatively in dominant discourses. This book challenges stereotypical representations of workers, building on research into the everyday worlds of working-class and ordinary people in Russia's post-industrial cities. The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia is centred on the stories of local communities engaged in the everyday struggles that occur in deindustrialising settings under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism. The book suggests a novel approach to everyday life in post-industrial cities. Drawing on an ethnographic study with elements of arts-based research, the book presents a new genre of writing about workers influenced by the avant-garde documentary tradition and working-class literature.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2005Graham Swift
by Daniel Lea, Susan Williams
This book offers an accessible critical introduction to the work of Graham Swift, one of Britain's most significant contemporary authors. Through detailed readings of his novels and short stories from 'The Sweet Shop Owner' (1980) to 'The Light of Day' (2003), Daniel Lea lucidly addresses the key themes of history, loss, masculinity and ethical redemption, to present a fresh approach to Swift. This study proposes that one of the side-effects of modernity has been the destruction of traditional pathways of self and collective belief, leading to a loss of understanding between individuals about their duties to each other and to society. Swift's writing returns repeatedly to the question of what we can believe in when all the established markers of identity - family, community, gender, profession, history - have become destabilised. Lea suggests that Swift increasingly moves towards a notion of redemption through a lived ethical practice as the only means of finding solace in a world lacking a central symbolic authority. ;
