October 2007Etwas fehlt immer
Erzählungen
by Guy Helminger
Guy Helmingers Erzählungen sind für vieles gelobt worden: den nachtschwarzen, grandios trockenen Humor, die Raffinesse, die so brutale wie komische Abgründigkeit und nicht zuletzt die Tatsache, daß hier endlich einmal jemand eine stichhaltige Erklärung dafür gibt, warum manche Männer vom Zigarettenholen nicht mehr zurückkommen.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2023Pasts at play
Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914
by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling
This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.

September 2007Morgen war schon
Roman
by Guy Helminger
Die langsame Louise träumt auf dem Sofa von einer Reise nach Neuseeland; für ihren Mann Feltzer, den Taxi fahrenden Choleriker, sind die angenehmsten Fahrgäste fünf ausgemergelte Stoffgiraffen. Man könnte es eine einigermaßen glückliche Ehe nennen. Sehnsüchte schweifen in die Ferne, der Alltag klebt hartnäckig am Hier und Heute, und ein leises Unbehagen durchzieht das Zusammenleben. Ein fremder Mann sitzt allzu traulich mit Louise auf dem Sofa. Und bleibt nach einer Fahrt in Feltzers Taxi verschwunden.

January 1990Die Grenzen kulturwissenschaftlicher Begriffsbildung
Heidelberger Max-Weber-Vorlesungen 1982
by Guy Oakes
Dieses Buch soll dazu beitragen, die philosophischen Wurzeln von Webers Methodologie freizulegen und insbesondere den Zusammenhang seiner Position mit der Wertlehre Rickerts aufzuklären. Dabei bildet die Frage nach dem Verhältnis zwischen der Begründung der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität bei Weber auf der einen und Rickerts Lösung des Problems der Wertobjektivität auf der anderen Seite den Kernpunkt der Untersuchung. Anhand der Bestimmung dieses Verhältnisses soll nicht nur gezeigt werden, daß Webers Begriff der kulturwissenschaftlichen Objektivität von Voraussetzungen ausgeht, die in Rickerts Werttheorie angelegt sind, sondern auch, daß es eben diese Voraussetzungen sind, die eine plausible Lösung des Objektivitätsproblems unmöglich machen.
