        Über-Empfindlichkeit

        Spielformen der Idiosynkrasie

        by Silvia Bovenschen

        Manchmal sind es die unwichtigsten Kleinigkeiten des Alltags, gegen die man eine heftige Abneigung entwickelt – seien es die Haut auf der Milch, Männer in Sandalen oder das Quietschen von Kreide auf der Schultafel. Jeder kennt solche skurrilen, absurden Abneigungen, jeder hat seine eigenen unerklärlichen Überempfindlichkeiten. Silvia Bovenschen nähert sich diesem Phänomen aus den verschiedensten Richtungen: Sie grenzt es vom Ekel wie vom Schmerz ab, stellt Überlegungen an über die Beziehungen zwischen Idiosynkrasie und Flucht beim Zigarettenholen und versucht ein Porträt des Schweizers als Verbrecher. Auf diese Weise ist ein aufregendes, vergnügliches und kluges Buch über eine unserer so wichtigen Unwichtigkeiten des täglichen Lebens entstanden. »Silvia Bovenschen macht uns die Freude, mit ihrem versiert und kenntnisreich geschriebenen Buch ein unterschätztes Empfindungsphänomen zu erschließen.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung »Über-Empfindlichkeit gehört zu der kleinen Familie der Bücher, aus denen man vorlesen möchte, anstatt über sie Bericht zu erstatten. « Die Zeit Silvia Bovenschen studierte Literaturwissenschaft, Soziologie und Philosophie und lebt als freie Publizistin in Berlin. 2000 erhielt sie den Heinrich-Merck-Preis für Essayistik. Im Suhrkamp Verlag liegt von ihr Die imaginierte Weiblichkeit (es 2431) vor. Zuletzt erschien Älter werden (2006).

Lynn Higgins' book offers a guided tour through Tavernier's oeuvre, taking into account both its prodigious diversity and its unifying themes. It explores his use of genre and adaptation, his work with actors and his affection for characters, his treatment of France's colonial history, his explorations of the powers of art and the complexities of intergenerational relations, both among fictional characters and within French cinema history. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date scholarly book about Tavernier. Original and lively, sophisticated and engaging, the book will appeal to anyone interested in film studies, gender studies, and French cultural studies including academics, students, cinema enthusiasts, and Tavernier fans.

        A history of humanitarianism, 1755–1989

        In the name of others

        by Silvia Salvatici

        The book traces the history of international humanitarianism from the anti-slavery movement to the end of the cold war. It is based on an extensive survey of the international literature and is retold in an original narrative that relies on a close examination of the sources. The reconstruction of humanitarianism's long history unfolds around some crucial moments and events: the colonial expansion of European countries, the two world wars and their aftermaths, the emergence of a new postcolonial order. In terms of its contents, narrative style, interpretative approach the book is aimed at a large and diverse public including: scholars who are studying and teaching humanitarianism; students who need to learn about humanitarianism as part of their training or research; operators and volunteers who are engaged in the field; non-specialist readers who are interested in the topic because of its relevance to current events.

        The Arts
        January 2019

        Bertrand Blier

        by Sue Harris

        The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.

        Paris and the Commune 1871–78

        The politics of forgetting

        by Bertrand Taithe, Colette Wilson, Penny Summerfield, Peter Gatrell, Max Jones, Ana Carden-Coyne

        Despite the scholarship and political activism devoted to keeping the memory of the Paris Commune alive, there still remains much ignorance both in France and elsewhere, about the traumatic civil war of 1871; some 20,000 to 35,000 people were killed on the streets of Paris in just the final week of the conflict. Colette Wilson identifies a critical blind-spot in French studies and employs new critical approaches to neglected texts, marginalised aspects of the illustrated press, early photography and a selection of novels by Emile Zola. This book will be of interest to students and academics studying France in the nineteenth century from a number of different perspectives war and revolution studies, cultural studies, history and cultural memory, literature, art history, photography, the illustrated press, city studies and human geography. The book will appeal equally to all lovers of Paris who wish to know and understand more about the city's turbulent past. ;

        Reconstructing lives

        Victims of war in the Middle East and Médecins Sans Frontières

        by Vanja Kovacic, Bertrand Taithe

        This book attempts to establish a more holistic approach to the rehabilitation of war-injured civilians, one that adjusts to the patients' long-term needs. Kovacic not only offers an insight into the daily realities of patients during and after rehabilitation, but seeks to develop a new way to perceive, respect and involve them in health care. Based on comprehensive interviews with patients and MSF staff, as well as extended field observations, Reconstructing lives follows Syrian and Iraqi war-injured civilians in their journey to recovery. From their improvised medical treatment in their home countries, to the MSF-run hospital in Amman Jordan, to their return home, Kovacic explores how individuals attempt to pick up the pieces of their previous lives, add new elements from their treatment and travel experiences, and finally establish a new reconstructed reality. The book explores how the interaction between MSF staff and their patients contributes to the immense task of healing that awaits victims of war. The reader visits the intimate medical and domestic spaces that usually remain closed to the outside observer, spaces rich with human contact, perceptions, emotions, conflicts and reconciliations.

        Títeres trashumantes (Transhumant puppets)

        by Mario Martín del Campo, Silvia Eugenia Castillero

        In the stretch of emptyness where no one dwells, changing beings are born as drops, as enigmas, as suspension points... They take a little bit of light and then steal shade from darkness. Thus these puppets grow strong, stealthy, and alive in the multiple sceneries of their theatre.

        Mourning becomes...

        Post/memory and commemoration of the concentration camps of the South African War 1899–1902

        by Elizabeth Stanley, Bertrand Taithe, Roger Cooter, Carolyn Steedman

        This fascinating work challenges many of the accepted facts about the concentration camps run by the British during the South African War. The author demonstrates that much of what we have traditionally understood about these camps originates the testimony which was solicited, selected and published by key women activists within Boer proto-nationalist circles. Using detailed archival evidence, she shows that much of the history of the camps results from a deliberate imposition of 'post/memory' - a process by which what was 'remembered' was shaped and reshaped to support the development of a racialised nationalist framework. Many of the camps' occupants died from successive epidemics of measles, typhoid, enteritis and pneumonia rather than deliberate ill-treatment, yet the book shows how mourning for those who died was overridden by state commemorative activities concerned with promoting pan-Boer nationalist aspirations. The innovative and groundbreaking approach of the author invites the reader to step into and explore with her the commemorative sites passed by nationalist land acts, which still powerfully mark the South African landscape. ;
