January 2018Ach, Papa
Wie mein Vater und ich wieder zueinanderfanden
by Mareike Nieberding
»Mareike Nieberding ist eine tolle Autorin. Sie schreibt direkt und klar, mit Wucht und Flow.«Volker Weidermann Ihre ganze Kindheit und Jugend wurde Mareike Nieberding von ihrem Vater eingesammelt und abgeholt. Egal, wo sie war, egal, wie betrunken, egal, mit wem unterwegs. Um ein Uhr nachts vom Schützenfest, um sieben nach der Schicht in der Kneipe. Ihr Vater war ihr Beschützer, Tröster, ein gnadenloser Optimist. Wenn sie ihm heute gegenübersitzt, fragt sie sich, wer dieser ergrauende Mann mit den Sommersprossen eigentlich ist, was er fühlt und denkt, ob er glücklich ist. Irgendwann zwischen damals und heute haben die beiden aufgehört, sich kennenzulernen. Wenn er sie vom Bahnhof abholt, reden sie auf dem Weg nach Hause über das Leben von Nachbarn und Bekannten, bis sie schließlich wortlos vor ihrem eigenen stehen. Sie streiten nicht. Sie haben sich nur nichts zu sagen. Ach, Papa erzählt davon, warum die meisten Tochter-Vater-Beziehungen nach der Pubertät nicht mehr dieselben sind. Und wie man sich wieder nahekommt, wenn man sich schon fast verloren hat.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Jack Clayton
by Neil Sinyard
In François Truffaut's opinion The Innocents was 'the best English film after Hitchcock goes to America'. Tennessee Williams said of The Great Gatsby: 'a film whose artistry even surpassed the original novel'. The maker of both films was Jack Clayton, one of the finest English directors of the post-war era and perhaps best remembered for the trail-blazing Room at the Top which brought a new sexual frankness and social realism to the British screen. This is the first full-length critical study of Clayton's work. The author has been able to consult and quote from the director's own private papers which illuminate Clayton's creative practices and artistic intentions. In addition to fresh analyses of the individual films, the book contains new material on Clayton's many unrealised projects and valuably includes his previously unpublished short story 'The Enchantment' - as poignant and revealing as the films themselves. This is a personal and fascinating account of the career and achievement of an important, much-loved director that should appeal to students and film enthusiasts.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017From Jack Tar to Union Jack
Representing naval manhood in the British Empire, 1870–1918
by Mary A. Conley
Jack Tar to Union Jack examines the intersection between empire, navy, and manhood in British society from 1870 to 1918. Through analysis of sources that include courts-martial cases, sailors' own writings, and the HMS Pinafore, Conley charts new depictions of naval manhood during the Age of Empire, a period which witnessed the radical transformation of the navy, the intensification of imperial competition, the democratisation of British society, and the advent of mass culture. Jack Tar to Union Jack argues that popular representations of naval men increasingly reflected and informed imperial masculine ideals in Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Conley shows how the British Bluejacket as both patriotic defender and dutiful husband and father stood in sharp contrast to the stereotypic image of the brave but bawdy tar of the Georgian navy. This book will be essential reading for students of British imperial history, naval and military history, and gender studies.
