Die Haitianische Revolution und die Dekolonisierung des Politischen
by Jeanette Ehrmann
Die Haitianische Revolution (1791-1804) war die einzige erfolgreiche Revolution versklavter Menschen und begründete mit der Republik Haiti den dritten Verfassungsstaat der modernen Welt. Dennoch verschwindet sie in Geschichtsschreibung und Philosophie häufig hinter der Amerikanischen und der Französischen Revolution. Im Anschluss an die postkoloniale und feministische politische Theorie legt Jeanette Ehrmann sowohl eine umfassende Deutung der revolutionären Ideen und Praktiken als auch der Dialektik der Emanzipation vor. Sie zeigt, wie tief Kolonialismus, Versklavung und Rassismus in das Selbstverständnis der Moderne eingeschrieben sind und eröffnet einen kritischen Horizont für eine Dekolonisierung des Politischen.

July 2022Nachtgewächs
Roman
by Djuna Barnes, Wolfgang Hildesheimer, Jeanette Winterson
Djuna Barnes (1892–1982) gehört zu den größten amerikanischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Nightwood ist ihr wichtigstes Buch, ein Klassiker der Moderne par excellence. Der Roman, erschienen 1936, wird neu, mit einem Nachwort von Jeanette Winterson, vorgelegt. Nachtgewächs, der Roman der Liebe einer Frau zu einer anderen Frau – einer Leidenschaft, die unstillbares Verlangen in der einen und tiefe Einsamkeit in der andern weckt –, wäre nicht geschrieben worden, wenn die Liebe zu der Bildhauerin Thelma Wood die Autorin nicht bis in die tiefste Verzweiflung geführt hätte.

Children's & YAJanuary 2015Hatless
by Lateefa Buti / Illustrated by Doha Al Khteeb
Kuwaiti children’s book author Lateefa Buti’s well-crafted and beautifully illustrated children’s book, Hatless, encourages children (ages 6-9) to think independently and challenge rigid traditions and fixed rituals with innovation and creativity. The main character is a young girl named Hatless who lives in the City of Hats. Here, all of the people are born with hats that cover their heads and faces. The world inside of their hats is dark, silent, and odorless. Hatless feels trapped underneath her own hat. She wants to take off her hat, but she is afraid, until she realizes that whatever frightening things exist in the world around her are there whether or not she takes off her hat to see them. So Hatless removes her hat. As Hatless takes in the beauty of her surroundings, she cannot help but talk about what she sees, hears, and smells. The other inhabitants of the city ostracize her because she has become different from them. It is not long before they ask her to leave the City of Hats. Rather than giving up or getting angry, Hatless feels sad for her friends and neighbors who are afraid to experience the world outside of their hats. She comes up with an ingenious solution: if given another chance, she will wear a hat as long it is one she makes herself. The people of the City of Hats agree, so Hatless weaves a hat that covers her head and face but does not prevent her from seeing the outside world. She offers to loan the hat to the other inhabitants of the city. One by one, they try it on and are enchanted by the beautiful world around them. Since then, no child has been born wearing a hat. The people celebrate by tossing their old hats in the air. By bravely embracing these values, Hatless improves her own life and the lives of her fellow citizens. Buti’s language is eloquent and clear. She strikes a skilled narrative balance between revealing Hatless’s inner thoughts and letting the story unfold through her interactions with other characters. Careful descriptions are accompanied by beautiful illustrations that reward multiple readings of the book.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyAugust 1996Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe
by Edited by I M Smith, Anne S Roy
This book is a companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. A second edition of Quarantine Pests for Europe will be published at the end of 1996. The present book contains approximately 400 colour illustrations, most of them new in relation to the very first illustrations of the EPPO Data Sheets which appeared in Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. Thus it will be compatible with the second edition of the volume of text data sheets. The quarantine pests concerned are either not present in the Euro-Mediterranean region, or only present to a limited extent and submitted to official control measures. The sequence of presentation is as for the text volume, i.e. insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasitic plants. Within each chapter, the pest illustrations appear in alphabetical order. An index including scientific names and synonyms is included at the end of the book. Accompanying text is presented in both English and French. Although it has not been possible to illustrate every listed quarantine pest, this book provides a unique collection that will help phytosanitary inspectors, plant health officers, and others working in the field of plant quarantine, or plant protection in general, to recognize and identify quarantine pests. The book is published by EPPO in association with CABI, and is available for sale exclusively through CABI.

October 2015Was wird er damit machen?
Nachrichten aus dem Leben eines Lords
by Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Bernd Rauschenbach, Arno Schmidt
Das Buch, mit dem Arno Schmidt sich von ›Zettel’s Traum‹ erholte Finstermänner aus Londons Unterwelt, verlorene Söhne und verzeihende Väter, halbgelehrte Handwerker, stotternde Prediger, Wanderschauspieler und fahrendes Volk, zarte Kindsbräute und verliebte Ladys, die Frau in Eisengrau, Lady Frost und Pudel Toby: Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Zeitgenosse und Freund von Charles Dickens, entfaltet in diesem umfangreichen Roman das bunte Panorama der viktorianischen Gesellschaft. Der vermögende Lord Darrell und die von ihm geliebte Lady Montfort werden ebenso Opfer hinterhältiger Intrigen wie die arme Schauspielerin Sophie und ihr Anbeter Lionel Haughton: Jasper Losely heißt der gewissenlose Dieb und Erpresser, der dafür sorgt, dass sie alle immer wieder aneinander irre werden. Voller Ränke und Volten steckt Edward Bulwer-Lyttons Porträt der Londoner Gesellschaft um 1850. Hinter der rasanten Handlung steht für den zeitlebens politisch engagierten Autor die Frage, welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten den Menschen im gesellschaftlichen Gefüge des 19. Jahrhunderts überhaupt bleiben. Die Armen, die Reichen, die Findigen und die Demütigen – was werden sie aus ihrem Leben machen? Arno Schmidts Übersetzung verleiht den Figuren ihre je eigene Sprache – eine Meisterleistung, die beim ersten Erscheinen 1971 dem Roman zu Kultstatus verholfen hat.
