January 1982Anna Livia Plurabelle
by James Joyce, Georg Goyert
›Anna Livia Plurabelle‹ ist das berühmteste, meistzitierte Kapitel des unübersetzbarsten aller Bücher, »Finnegans Wake« von James Joyce. Unser Band bringt den Text des Originals, eine alte und zwei neue Übertragungen (von Wolfgang Hildesheimer und Hans Wollschläger) und eine Einführung von Klaus Reichert. ALP, nach Arno Schmidt die »All-Frau«, die Zusammensetzung »aus der schönen rot-gehaarten Isolde, den Maggies und sonstigen ›Stundentänzerinnen‹«, ist für Joyce das weibliche Prinzip des Universums, Wasser, Erde, Eva, Isis, Isolde und Psyche in einem; sie tritt zu Beginn des Buches mit den Fluten der Liffey auf und wird am Ende im Traum wie ein Fluß dem väterlichen Ozean zugetragen, wo alles sich verliert, sich wiederfindet und von neuem beginnt. »Was soll nun der deutsche Leser mit dem Buch anfangen? Er kann sich ans Nach-Prüfen, Nach-Denken, Nach-Schmecken, Nach-Sprechen von Hildesheimers und Wollschlägers Übertragung machen. Er wird entdecken, daß »Finnegans Wake« doch, wenn man nicht den falschen Ehrgeiz hegt, gleich alles ›verstehen‹ zu wollen, ein ›funeral‹ ist, nämlich eines der Begräbnisse des herkömmlichen Romans, und ein ›fun for all‹, ein Spaß für alle.« »Jörg Drews«

Non-graphic art formsMay 2012The 'do-it-yourself' artwork
Participation from Fluxus to New Media
by Edited by Anna Dezeuze
Viewers of contemporary art are often invited to involve themselves actively in artworks, by entering installations, touching objects, performing instructions or clicking on interactive websites. Why have artists sought to engage spectators in these new forms of participation? In what ways does active participation affect the viewer's experience and the status of the artwork? Spanning a range of practices including kinetic art, happenings, environments, performance, installations, relational and new media art from the 1950s to the present, this critical anthology sheds light on the history and specificity of artworks that only come to life when you - the viewer - are invited to 'do it yourself.' Rather than a specialist topic in the history of twentieth- and twenty-first century art, the 'do-it-yourself' artwork raises broader issues concerning the role of the viewer in art, the status of the artwork and the socio-political relations between art and its contexts.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyAugust 1996Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe
by Edited by I M Smith, Anne S Roy
This book is a companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. A second edition of Quarantine Pests for Europe will be published at the end of 1996. The present book contains approximately 400 colour illustrations, most of them new in relation to the very first illustrations of the EPPO Data Sheets which appeared in Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. Thus it will be compatible with the second edition of the volume of text data sheets. The quarantine pests concerned are either not present in the Euro-Mediterranean region, or only present to a limited extent and submitted to official control measures. The sequence of presentation is as for the text volume, i.e. insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasitic plants. Within each chapter, the pest illustrations appear in alphabetical order. An index including scientific names and synonyms is included at the end of the book. Accompanying text is presented in both English and French. Although it has not been possible to illustrate every listed quarantine pest, this book provides a unique collection that will help phytosanitary inspectors, plant health officers, and others working in the field of plant quarantine, or plant protection in general, to recognize and identify quarantine pests. The book is published by EPPO in association with CABI, and is available for sale exclusively through CABI.

November 2011Erinnerungen an Anna Achmatowa
by Nadeschda Mandelstam, Pavel Polian, Christiane Körner
Nadeschda Mandelstam (1899-1980), die ihren Mann, den Dichter Ossip Mandelstam, um viele Jahre überlebte, hat sich im Alter mit ihren Memoiren Das Jahrhundert der Wölfe und Generation ohne Tränen international einen Namen gemacht. Erst vor wenigen Jahren wurden in ihrem Nachlass Erinnerungen an Anna Achmatowa (1889-1966) entdeckt - ein bewegendes Dokument der Freundschaft in schwierigsten Zeiten. Achmatowa, die charismatische, unbeugsame Dichterin, bangt um ihren Sohn, der in den stalinistischen Gefängnissen inhaftiert ist, während die Freundin die Gedichte ihres 1938 im Lager umgekommenen Mannes rettet - indem sie jede Zeile seiner verbotenen Texte im Gedächtnis bewahrt. Dieses reiche Buch ist Dichterporträt und Zeitzeugnis zugleich - ein vierzig Jahre währendes Gespräch über Angst und Niedertracht, über die Macht und Ohnmacht von Liebe, Eros und Literatur.
