      Intimacy and injury

      In the wake of #MeToo in India and South Africa

      by Nicky Falkof, Srila Roy, Shilpa Phadke

      Both India and South Africa have shared the infamy of being labelled the world's 'rape capitals', with high levels of everyday gender-based and sexual violence. At the same time, both boast long histories of resisting such violence and its location in wider cultures of patriarchy, settler colonialism and class and caste privilege. Through the lens of the #MeToo moment, the book tracks histories of feminist organising in both countries, while also revealing how newer strategies extended or limited these struggles. Intimacy and injury is a timely mapping of a shifting political field around gender-based violence in the global south. In proposing comparative, interdisciplinary, ethnographically rich and analytically astute reflections on #MeToo, it provides new and potentially transformative directions to scholarly debates this book builds transnational feminist knowledge and solidarity in and across the global south.

      Systemtheorie und Sport

      by Karl-Heinrich Bette

      Der erste Teil des Bandes dient der Vergewisserung und Weiterentwicklung der theoretischen Grundlagen. Der zweite Teil fokussiert die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Bereiche Sport, Körper, Individualisierung, Urbanität und Abweichung und zeigt anhand dieser Beispiele, mit welch erhellenden Einsichten die systemtheoretische Theorietechnik bislang offene Fragen beantworten hilft. So thematisiert der Autor den Körper als Kultobjekt, analysiert die fitneß- und jugendlichkeitsorientierte Lebensführung breiter Massen, durchleuchtet das in der Soziologie bislang vernachlässigte Verhältnis von Sport und Individualisierung und ordnet die neuen urbanen Trendsportarten in größere Zusammenhänge ein. Am Beispiel des Dopings spricht er zudem einige prekäre Aspekte der gegenwärtigen Sportentwicklung an. Der dritte Teil des Bandes ist den Themen Beobachtung und Beratung gewidmet. Hier nimmt der Autor die wissenschaftlichen Beobachter des Sports ins Visier und diskutiert im Rahmen der Theorie selbstreferentieller Systeme die mögliche Relationierung von Sport und Wissenschaft.

      The Detention Pros

      by Kirsten John/Miryam Specht

      Clara, Julian, Felix and Fee must have done something bad, because they are waiting for a severe punishment: detention. “Detention” is actually the wrong word. In fact their task is to get the school garden into shape, which includes the fountain with non-stop snapping turtles. But oh, shock horror! First of all, Felix digs up a skull. Then several suspicious looking men turn up, alleging that they are sports teachers. Could this be the cover-up of a murder? And what is the grumpy housemaster Kratzek hiding? In order to find out just what is going on at the closed school, the four detainees must stick together at all costs – and that is the biggest adventure of them all.

      Head in the game

      Sociocultural analyses of brain trauma in sport

      by Stephen Townsend, Murray G. Phillips, Gary Osmond, Rebecca Olive

      Head in the game brings together international scholars from multiple humanities, social science, and scientific disciplines to critically examine one of the most vexing issues in global sport: concussion. It argues that science and medicine alone cannot solve the concussion crisis: sociocultural factors must also be considered. This edited collection draws attention to the ways that social, cultural, historical, political, literary, philosophical, and legal factors have shaped the concussion crisis in sport. Head in the game is essential reading for those who want to understand how the concussion crisis came to be, and provides guidance for developing ethical and evidence-based solutions in the future.

      Alain Resnais

      by Emma Wilson

      Alain Resnais, director of 'Hiroshima mon amour' (1959) and 'L'Annee derniere a Marienbad' (1961), has transformed the representation of memory, fantasy and desire in modern cinema. This illuminating introduction to his work, extending from his earliest documentaries to the musical films of the last decade, traces the evolving patterns of his filmmaking, its changing reflections on mortality, guilt, chance and human doubt. Exploring questions of the time-image, of trauma, of the senses, this volume sets Resnais' films in the context of important current debates in film theory, and provides a concise account of critical discussions of his work in France and beyond. Yet it also offers a highly personal and detailed engagement with individual images and scenes in Resnais' films. A passionate and partial defence of Resnais' work, old and new, this volume stands apart in its attention to the more tangible and moving pleasures of his films, their pathos, rigour and visual beauty.

      Textaktionen

      by Rainald Goetz

      WRONG ist ein Band mit kleineren interventionistischen Texten, die in den letzten fünfzehn Jahren, der Zeit der Arbeit am Buch SCHLUCHT, entstanden sind. WRONG: Auftritt, Vortrag, Lehre, Interview, Kritik: alles falsch, alles immer wieder: wrong. Und doch ist es wichtig, daß man sich als Autor auch direkt, mit solchen Textaktionen, am öffentlichen Gespräch beteiligt, lebendig, wirr, flirrend, das Ich ungeschützt präsentiert, nicht nur in die finale Totengestalt des Werks hineinkonzentriert. So schreiben, wie man reden würde, wenn man dem Gegenüber schnell erklären will, was man zu Joachim Bessing denkt, zu Michel Houellebecq, zu Albert von Schirnding oder zum Rechtsstreit des Suhrkamp Verlags mit dem Investor Barlach. In den Interviews geht es um die eigenen Bücher, den Fotoband elfter september 2010, den Roman Johann Holtrop oder das Theaterstück Reich des Todes. In zwei Reden und zwei Aufsätzen – der Antrittsvorlesung »Leben und Schreiben«, der Rede »Büchnerpreis«, der Produktionspoetik »Spekulativer Realismus« und der Rezeptionspoetik »Absoluter Idealismus« – hat Rainald Goetz seine Autorschaft grundlegend zu bestimmen versucht, aber vom Gestus her auch hier inspiriert von der Direktheit der mitmenschlichen Begegnung und dem Darlegungsfuror in mündlicher Rede. Dadurch ist WRONG ein helles Buch geworden.

      The Massacre at Paris

      By Christopher Marlowe

      by Martin White, Mathew R. Martin

      This volume presents a modernised edition of Christopher Marlowe's critical engagement with one of the bloodiest and traumatic episodes of the French Wars of Religion, the wholesale massacre of French Huguenots in Paris in August, 1572. Sensorily shocking and intellectually gripping, the play's dramatic action spans a tumultuous two decades in French history to unfold for its audience the tragic consequences of religious fanaticism, power politics, and dynastic rivalry. Comprehensively introduced and containing full commentary notes, this edition opens up this frequently neglected but historically significant and dramatically powerful play to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the history of the massacre, the play's treatment of its sources, the play's dramatisation of trauma, and the play's exploration of notions of religious toleration.
