View Rights PortalMithilfe von Träumen skizziert Barbara Hahns großer Essay eine Unheilsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihre Untersuchung widmet sich Träumen, die eine Welt aus Verfolgung, Not, Zwang und Leiden erschreckend direkt vorwegnehmen, schildern, in Bilder fassen. Sowie Berichten von Überlebenden, die in einer dauerhaft beschädigten Realität weiterexistieren – denen Wirklichkeit nur mehr ein Schatten ist – die nur in den Träumen toter Anderer sich noch ‚am Leben‘ wähnen. Im 20. Jahrhundert haben sich Traumaufzeichnungen als eine eigene literarische Gattung etabliert – durch eine Fülle (oft entlegener) Veröffentlichungen. Nachforschend, aufstöbernd, einkreisend, ebenso sorgsam wie behende führt die Autorin durch diesen bislang wenig erschlossenen Kosmos. Es treten Anna Achmatowa, Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Charlotte Beradt, Jean Cayrol, Hélène Cixous, Franz Fühmann, Graham Greene, Wieland Herzfelde, Otto Dov Kulka, Primo Levi, Paula Ludwig, Elsa Morante, Heiner Müller, Georges Perec, Jorge Semprún, Vercors, Marguerite Yourcenar und viele andere auf.
As European politics, society, economy and religion underwent epoch-making changes between 1400 and 1600, the treatment of Europe's Jews by the non-Jewish majority was, then as in later periods, a symptom of social problems and tensions in the Continent as a whole. Through a broad-ranging collection of documents, John Edwards sets out to present a vivid picture of the Jewish presence in European life during this vital and turbulent period. Subjects covered include the Jews' own economic presence and culture, social relations between Jews and Christians, the policies and actions of Christian authorities in Church and State. He also draws upon original source material to convey ordinary people's prejudices about Jews, including myths about Jewish 'devilishness', money-grabbing, and 'ritual murder' of Christian children. Full introductory and explanatory material makes accessible the historical context of the subject and highlights the insights offered by the documents as well as the pitfalls to be avoided in this area of historical enquiry. This volume aims to provide a coherent working collection of texts for lecturers, teachers and students who wish to understand the experience of Jewish Europeans in this period. ;
The Subject of Love: Hélène Cixous and the Feminine Divine is about abundant, generous, other-regarding love. In the history of Western ideas of love, such a configuration has been inseparable from our ideas about divinity and the sacred; often reserved only for God; and rarely thought of as a human achievement. This book is a substantial engagement with her philosophies of love, inviting the reader to reflect on the conditions of subjectivity that just might open us to something like a divine love of the other. Renshaw follows this thread in this genealogy of abundant love: the thread that connects the subject of love from 5th century B.C.E. Greece and Plato, to the 20th century protestant theology of agapic love of Anders Nygren, to the late 20th century poetico-philosophy of Hélène Cixous. This study will be of particular interest to academics and students of the history of gender, cultural studies, criticism and gender studies ;
Greenhouse cultivation has expanded in recent decades with increased demand for horticultural production. This book covers current technologies and management practices of general greenhouse production, with a particular emphasis on plastic greenhouses and vegetable growing. The author begins by addressing the natural greenhouse microclimate, in the context of managing greenhouse systems such as ventilation, cooling, heating, carbon dioxide enrichment, light management, crop physiology, greenhouse design and construction criteria. The book then moves on to cover other issues of greenhouse management including irrigation and fertilization, soil and substrate cultivation, plant protection, regulation, economic analysis, environmental impact, and post-harvest, production strategies and marketing. Providing an integrated approach to greenhouse production this practical text aims to provide clear advice on optimising the yield and quality of crops grown under greenhouse conditions.

Der Erzähler dieser packenden, knappen Geschichten erinnert sich an die erste Stelle als Lehrer, die er 1961 an dem Fluß der Grande Beune, in einem Dorf in Frankreichs Südwesten antrat. Er begegnet zwei Frauen, der älteren Hélène und der jungen Yvonne. Von Yvonne träumt er Tag und Nacht, ihr stellt er nach. Pierre Michon, einer der Meister der französischen Gegenwartsliteratur, hat »Die Grande Beune« in einer unerhört sinnlichen und kunstvollen Sprache geschrieben. Bereits das Motto Andrej Platonovs schlägt den Ton an: »Die Erde schlief nackt und gepeinigt wie eine Mutter, der die Decke herabgeglitten war.«
