September 2021Warum Dante?
by Sibylle Lewitscharoff
Dante Alighieris Göttliche Komödie gehört zu den bedeutendsten Werken der Weltliteratur. Doch während in Italien jedes Schulkind die ersten Verse auswendig kennt, hat hierzulande nur eine kleine Schar Bildungsbürger die Commedia wirklich gelesen. Dabei ließe sich aus über fünfzig deutschen Übersetzungen wählen – mehr als in jeder anderen Sprache. Und welches »Glanzgewebe der Poesie« gibt es hier zu entdecken: Vom Straftheater der Hölle bis in die höchsten Himmelsregionen, von den gepeinigten Seelen der Sünder bis zur glanzvollen Schwirrnis der Engel wird ein »wunderbares Aufflugmanöver« in Verse gesetzt, das bis heute nichts von seiner Kraft verloren hat. Zum 700. Todestag des Dichters legt Sibylle Lewitscharoff, Danteanerin von der Fußspitze bis zum Scheitel, nun eine sachkundige, reich bebilderte Einführung zu diesem großen Werk vor.

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2021Dante beyond influence
Rethinking reception in Victorian literary culture
by Federica Coluzzi, Anna Barton
Dante beyond influence is the first study to conceptualise and historicise the hermeneutic turn in Dante reception history and Victorian cultural history, charting its development across intellectual realms, agents and forms of readerly and writerly engagement. Unearthing previously unseen manuscript and print evidence, the book conducts a material and book-historical inquiry into the formation and popularisation of the critical and scholarly discourse on Dante through Victorian periodicals, mass-publishing, traditional and Extramural higher education. The book demonstrates that the transformation of Dante from object of amateur interest (dantophilia) to subject of systematic interpretive endeavours (dantismo) reflected paradigmatic changes in Victorian intellectual and socio-cultural history.

November 1997Dante und die Göttliche Komödie
by Olof Lagercrantz, Gisbert Jänicke
Olof Lagercrantz hat das Wagnis unternommen. Dantes »Göttliche Komödie« in die Gegenwart zu stellen. Er betrachtet sie nicht als ein Denkmal der Vergangenheit, das dem historisch Interessierten zum Ausflugsziel werden kann, sondern als ein lebendiges Wortgewebe, das in diesem Augenblick existiert und in der Zeit ebenso gegenwärtig ist wie etwas, das heute geschieht.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2009Dante and the Victorians
by Alison Milbank
In this ground-breaking book, Alison Milbank explains why a comprehension of the Victorian reception of Dante is essential for a full understanding of Victorianism as a whole. Her focus on this much-neglected topic allows her to reconfigure the British nineteenth-century understanding of history, nationalism, aesthetics and gender, and their often strange intersections. The account also builds towards a demonstration that the modernist perpetuation of the Dante obsession reveals an equal continuity with many aspects of Victorianism. The book provides not only an authoritative introduction to these important cultural themes, but also a re-reading of the genealogy of literature in the modern period. Instead of the Victorian realism challenged by Modernist symbolism's attempts to transcend linear time, Milbank offers us a contrary, continuous 'Danteism'. For both the Victorians and the Modernists Dante is the first writer to historicise, fictionalise and humanise the eternal role, and he becomes paradoxically the means by which history, secularised fiction and a positivist humanism could be reconnected to a lost transcendent. Dante and the Victorians provides the first comprehensive account of why the reading of Dante was central to nineteenth-century British language and culture. ;

June 2000Dante und der Hummer
Gesammelte Prosa
by Samuel Beckett, Erika Tophoven, Elmar Tophoven, Christian Enzensberger, Wolfgang Hildesheimer
"Es beginnt mit einem Scherz. Im November 1930 stellt Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) den Romanisten des Trinity College in Dublin einen Dichter namens Jean du Chas vor, den es nicht gibt. Mit parodierter Bildungshuberei und selbstverliebten Formulierungskünsten, die durch Sarkasmus gesteigert und in Schach gehalten werden, weist dieser Text auf Becketts ersten, postum veröffentlichten Roman »Traum von mehr bis minder schönen Frauen« voraus, der 1932 in Paris entstand, sowie auf den Erzählzyklus »Mehr Prügel als Flügel« aus dem Jahr 1934 (aus dem zwei Erzählungen aufgenommen wurden). Am Schluß der chronologisch nach dem Zeitpunkt des Entstehens geordneten Sammlung steht Immer noch nicht mehr, des Autors letzter Prosatext, geschrieben zwischen 1986 und 1988: fast Szene in der Reduziertheit des Raums und der Bewegungen; fast Gedicht in seinem Kreisen, Variieren, Wiederholen. »Eines Nachts als er den Kopf auf den Händen am Tisch saß sah er sich aufstehen und gehen.« Dante und der Hummer (so heißt die erste Erzählung aus Mehr Prügel als Flügel) macht alles, was in den Werken, in Einzelausgaben und sonst verstreut von Becketts kürzerer erzählender Prosa auf deutsch erschienen ist, zum ersten Mal in einem Band verfügbar -dazu drei kleine deutsche Erstveröffentlichungen: »Das Bild«, »weder noch« und »Wie soll man sagen«."

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2024The poems of Elizabeth Siddal in context
by Anne Woolley
A ground breaking new book that considers all Siddal poems with reference to female and primarily male counterparts, adding substantially to knowledge of her work as a writer, and their shared contemporary concerns. Dante Rossetti, Swinburne, Tennyson, Ruskin and Keats were either known to her or a source of influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with which she was associated, and certain of their texts are compared with hers to discuss interplay between erotic and spiritual love, the ballad tradition, nineteenth-century feminism, and the Romantic concept of the conjoined physical and spectral body. Siddal's artwork is used to introduce each chapter, while other Pre-Raphaelite paintings illuminate the texts and further the inter-disciplinary philosophy of the Brotherhood. This important and stimulating book focuses on the intrinsic merit of Siddal's poetics whilst advocating a research method that could have multiple applications elsewhere.

May 2024Breed Differences in Dog Behavior
Why Tails Wag Differently
by Renee L Ha, Tracy L Brad, James C Ha
Humans have bred dogs for physical and behavioral characteristics for millennia. These efforts can have unintended side effects, however, which may be either advantageous or cause issues - such as a predisposition to certain medical complaints, or, controversially, behavioural issues. The scientific study of domestic dogs is still in its infancy, but public demand for this information is at a record high as more and more pet owners seek to understand their canine family members. Focusing on the behavioral differences and tendencies that have arisen in different breed lines, this book explores, summarizes, and explains the scientific evidence on what breed can tell us about behaviour - and, crucially, what it cannot. This book covers: - the impact of inbreeding, how it contributes to problematic behavioral issues such as anxiety and aggression, and how it potentially affects the future health of the breed; - the limits of predicting a dog's behavior based upon breed, individual differences within breeds, and thus the corresponding limitations of breed-specific legislation; - guidance for professionals to help their clients better understand behavioral issues, traits, and appropriate expectations around the right breed for their household. Providing a comprehensive and approachable view of the science behind breed-specific behaviors, this book gives dog enthusiasts from all professional and personal backgrounds a better understanding of why dogs do what they do, and how we can improve our relationships with our canine companions. Covering genetics, phylogeny of canids, temperament, aggression, social behavior, and the history of dog breeding, it is an important read for researchers, students, veterinary practitioners and animal behaviourists, as well as shelter staff, dog trainers, or anyone looking for a greater understanding of dog breed differences.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2024Dog politics
Species stories and the animal sciences
by Mariam Motamedi Fraser
Do dogs belong with humans? Scientific accounts of dogs' 'species story,' in which contemporary dog-human relations are naturalised with reference to dogs' evolutionary becoming, suggest that they do. Dog politics dissects this story. This book offers a rich empirical analysis and critique of the development and consolidation of dogs' species story in science, asking what evidence exists to support it, and what practical consequences, for dogs, follow from it. It explores how this story is woven into broader scientific shifts in understandings of species, animals, and animal behaviours, and how such shifts were informed by and informed transformative political events, including slavery and colonialism, the Second World War and its aftermath, and the emergence of anti-racist movements in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book pays particular attention to how species-thinking bears on 'race,' racism, and individuals.

July 2023One Health for Dog-mediated Rabies Elimination in Asia
A Collection of Local Experiences
by Vanessa Slack, Deborah Nadal, Sandul Yasobant, Florence Cliquet, Waqas Ahmad, Nihal Pushpakumara, Sumon Ghosh
Although an effective rabies vaccine has existed since 1885, rabies continues to kill an estimated 59,000 people, and uncalculated animals, every year. Sixty per cent of these human deaths occur in Asia. To work towards the global target of eliminating dog-mediated rabies by 2030, the rabies community is applying the One Health approach. Written by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and rabies control programme specialists, this book is a collection of experiences and observations on the challenges and successes along the path to rabies control and prevention in Asia. It: - Grounds chapters in solid scientific theory, but retains a direct, practice-focused and inspirational approach; - Provides numerous examples of lessons learned and experience-based knowledge gained across countries at different levels of rabies control and elimination; - Brings together and highlights the practices of a strong, international rabies network that works according to the One Health concept. Covering perspectives from almost a dozen Asian countries and a wide range of sectors and disciplines, such as healthcare facilities, veterinary services, laboratories, academia, public health institutes and wildlife research centres, this book is an invaluable resource for rabies scholars and practitioners, but also those working in the wider fields of disease control and cross-sectoral One Health.

by Walder, V.
The Unbearables & Me – A World Full of Wonders (Vol. 3) Life Saaks – well it depends on what you make out of it • A narrative that will get under your skin! • A new secret to be discovered in every volume • Enni uses swear words and crosses them out - absolutely authentic, yet funny! • For boys and girls! • By an international film professional and best-selling author from Austria (translation grant guaranteed!) What happens in Volume 3: Enni feels at home at Saaks luxury boarding school for the first time in years. She has found real joy in the other “Unbearables", has good teachers and her own room. . . For her, Saaks might as well keep it’s secrets. Only they're connected to Dante and his family. When Dante asks Enni for help, she doesn't hesitate and comes up with a daring plan: to find out more, they must go to Munich, where the foundation that pays Enni and Dante's tuition is located. So they get their teacher to take them to the upcoming theatre festival in Munich. Once again, it's the kids' supposed handicaps that help them win. And so Dante and Enni, after fleeing from their watchmen and a breathtaking chase, are finally sitting in front of the people who have all the answers: the firm’s employees. But instead of revealing who they work for, who Dante’s father is, and who pays for Enni and Dante’s school fees, they tell Dante what Enni has kept secret from everyone: she will leave Saaks and move back to her mother. After the first shock, the friends react understandingly and are happy for Enni. But during the play, Enni still meets Dante’s mysterious father, who turns out to be something completely unexpected. He makes Enni realize that this school is a great opportunity for her and that after years of being a lone wolf, she can ask her parents to be there for her for once. So Enni has to decide whether to ask her father to let her stay in Saaks. But then she has to tell him the whole story…
