        Stilübungen

        by Raymond Queneau, Ludwig Harig, Eugen Helmlé, Ludwig Harig

        Für diese im übrigen unveränderte Neuausgabe des artistischen Bestsellers hat Ludwig Harig ein Nachwort Auf dem pataphysischen Hochseil – Zur Übersetzung der ›Stilübungen‹ von Raymond Queneau geschrieben: »Im Jahr 1947 erschien Raymond Queneaus Exercices de Style bei Gallimard in Paris. Die Geschichte ihrer Übersetzung ins Deutsche, eng verknüpft mit dem experimentellen Aufbruch der Nachkriegspoesie, reicht in die fünfziger Jahre zurück. Von Kindheit an mehr spielals lernbesessen, neugierig auf waghalsige Versuche, mißtrauisch gegenüber bewährten Kunstwerken, war ich lüstern nach Neuem … Elisabeth Walther ermutigte mich mit einem Zitat von Francis Ponge: ›Nur die Literatur erlaubt, das große Spiel zu spielen: die Welt neu zu machen‹ –, und darauf hatte ich es mit meinem Freund Eugen Helmlé abgesehen. Risikofreudig, ja todesmutig, wie sich später einige Kritiker ausdrückten, machten wir uns an die Arbeit. Die Übersetzung der Exercices de Style war ein Drahtseilakt: Raymond Queneau turnte ihn uns vor, wie es einst nur Till Eulenspiegel zustande gebracht hat …«

        Heiliger Bimbam

        Roman

        by Raymond Queneau, Eugen Helmlé

        "In diesem Roman mokiert sich Raymond Queneau über die Rückständigkeit eines Dorfs ohne Namen und über dessen groteske Verwandlung unter dem Einfluß großstädtischer Vorbilder; über das sinnlose Sippentamtam und über die Touristensehnsucht nach dem Alten Wahren; über den sterilen Traditionalismus und über den naiven Modernismus. Heiliger Bimbam ist voller Absurdität und Groteske, genährt von der Phantasie Rabelais' - eine schneidende Kritik dessen, was einmal »Blut und Boden« geheißen hat."

        Über den Prozeßcharakter von Literatur und Kultur

        by Raymond Williams, H. Gustav Klaus, H. Gustav Klaus, H. Gustav Klaus

        In Großbritannien haben die Arbeiten des unorthodoxen marxistischen Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftlers Raymond Williams eine lebhafte Resonanz gefunden; hierzulande ist er noch nicht zureichend beachtet worden. Die vom Herausgeber gemeinsam mit Raymond Williams im Blick auf eine kontinentale Leserschaft getroffene Auswahl aus seinen Arbeiten vereinigt theoretisch-begriffliche Untersuchungen und materiale Analysen, die sich in exemplarischer Weise mit zentralen Fragen der Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte befassen.

        The Paddington prophet

        Richard Brothers's journey to Jerusalem

        by Deborah Madden

        As an educated gentleman and naval officer, Richard Brothers dramatically altered eighteenth-century expectations and perceptions of what prophets were and the nature of prophecy itself. The messianic messages delivered to Londoners by the self-styled prophet are central to the religious politics and culture of the 1790s, mockingly referred to by one contemporary critic as the 'age of prophecy'. The Paddington Prophet is the first book-length study which probes deep under the skin of Brothers's apparently idiosyncratic writings and religious 'enthusiasm'. Close textual analysis of Brothers's writings shows the extent to which his Biblical, 'prophetic imagination' arose out of the same theological, political and cultural context that spurred 'radicals' like Tom Paine whilst inspiring poets and artists such as William Blake. Tracing the contours of his visionary experiences, this book exposes the intensity and vibrancy of Brothers's faith, the power of his prophetic imagination and the internal logic of his theology. ;

        Cormac McCarthy

        A complexity theory of literature

        by Lydia R. Cooper

        Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy's literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.

        The Hidden River

        by Donald Willerton

        A crazed professor is on a rampage to prove that horrible crimes were committed by the ancient ancestors of today's Pueblo Indians. His murderous accusations stir the community into anger and violence.Vacationing nearby, Mogi Franklin and his family are suddenly caught up in the turmoil roiling the countryside. In this third book of the exciting Mogi Franklin Mysteries, the young hero must find a sacred object hidden by the ancient people of Acoma Pueblo somewhere in the vast, forbidding lava beds of western New Mexico.To those who lived on the stark, high mesa four hundred years ago, it held a magic that could defeat the Spanish conquistadors despite their steel and steeds. To Mogi, it was an ancient mystery he must solve to stem the rising tide of bloodshed. But the clock is ticking, and his deranged adversary traps Mogi, Jennifer, and their friends in the absolute darkness of an underground cavern, with little hope of escape.

        Defining cult movies

        The cultural politics of oppositional taste

        by Susan Wiliams

        Concentrates on the analysis of cult movies, how they are defined, who defines them and the cultural politics of these definitions. Raises issues about the perception of it as an oppositional form of cinema, and of its strained relationships to mainstream cinema and the processes of institutionalisation and classification. Claims that the history of academic film studies and that of cult movie fandom are inextricably intertwined and raises fundamental questions about both cult movies themselves, and film studies as a discipline. Updates work on cult movies at a time when cult films and TV have become a central part of contemporary culture. Ranges over the full and entertaining gamut of cult films from Dario Argento, Spanish horror and Peter Jackson's New Zealand gorefests to sexploitation, kung fu and sci fi flicks, as well investigations of Sharon Stone, 'underground' and trivia.

        Recommendations on Delirium Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment in Old Age

        by Egemen Savaskan, Wolfgang Hasemann (editors)

        This interdisciplinary, interprofessional book outlines how delirium can be identified, prevented, and treated in the elderly. Based on precise definitions, classifications, and distinctions, the authors set out their understanding of delirium as a cerebro-organic syndrome. They identify potential risk factors, causes, and the pathogenesis, prevalence, and incidence of delirium, quantify the costs of caring for people suffering from an acute confusional state, and present diagnostic screening and assessment tools and biomarkers to enable the early diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of delirium.   Target Group: Doctors,  geriatricians, nurses

        Rage!

        Resolute for Anger

        by Johanna Kuroczik

        A stormy emotional disposition is regarded as primitive, evil. Calmness, yoga and a Buddhist-inspired zen state are good and desirable. A person who flies into a rage has lost composure and loses control. Johanna Kuroczik’s book takes a closer look at the facts about anger. What’s good about being enraged, about this fireball inside, which can also motivate changes? What does neuroscience say about the powerful emotion, and how can we deal with it positively as well as use it constructively?

        Cult

        by Lyubko Deresh

        "Cult" is the first novel of the young author, which immediately became a hit among the readership to the extent that in some circles, as if justifying its title, became almost a cult. Youth life, relationships, slang, risky and funny games of teenagers, their attempts to get to "the other side of reality" at any price - this is all Deresh and one of his best books, which became a kind of summary of literary searches of the 90s of the 20th century

        Great Satan's rage

        American negativity and rap/metal in the age of supercapitalism

        by Scott Wilson

        This book looks at how rap and metal, the two most pervasive popular music forms of the 1990s, have been highly engaged with America's role in the world, supercapitalism and their own role within it. This has especially been the case when genres - hitherto clearly identified as indelibly 'black' or 'white' forms of music - have crossed over as an effect of cross-racial forms of identification and desire, marketing strategy, political engagement, opportunism and experimentation. It is how examples of these forms have negotiated, contested, raged against, survived, exploited, simulated and performed 'Satan's rage' that is the subject of this book. The book offers a highly original approach in relating rap/metal to critical theories of economy and culture, introducing a new method of cultural analysis based on theories of negativity and expenditure that will be of great interest to students in media and cultural studies, American studies, critical and cultural theory, advertising and marketing, and sociology and politics. ;
