Kaum ein anderer Dichter hat eine so immense Wirkung auf seine Leser:innen ausgeübt wie Hermann Hesse. Generationen von ihnen entdeckten und entdecken etwas in seinem Werk, das sie ermutigt und elektrisiert – sei es die Ermunterung zum Eigensinn, zum Engagement oder zur Selbstbehauptung, sei es, dass sie durch ihn einen anderen Blick auf die Welt und ihr Leben gewinnen. Nicht wenige haben sich auch künstlerisch von ihm inspirieren lassen, indem sie seine Gedichte in hunderten von Liedern und Songs vertont oder seine Romane und Erzählungen verfilmt haben. Aber auch Schriftsteller:innen haben sich immer wieder produktiv mit ihm auseinandergesetzt – und das bis heute: In Inspiration Hermann Hesse kommen deutschsprachige Autor:innen zu Wort, die sich von Motiven oder Figuren aus Hesses Werk zu neuen Erzählungen, Essays und autobiographischen Skizzen haben anregen lassen. Die Ergebnisse sind so vielfältig, überraschend und aufregend wie die Impulse, die Leser:innen auch heute noch bei der Lektüre »ihres« Hermann Hesse erfahren.

Queer exceptions is a study of contemporary solo performance in the UK and Western Europe that explores the contentious relationship between identity, individuality and neoliberalism. With diverse case studies featuring the work of La Ribot, David Hoyle, Oreet Ashery, Bridget Christie, Tanja Ostojic, Adrian Howells and Nassim Soleimanpour, the book examines the role of singular or 'exceptional' subjects in constructing and challenging assumed notions of communal sociability and togetherness, while drawing fresh insight from the fields of sociology, gender studies and political philosophy to reconsider theatre's attachment to singular lives and experiences. Framed by a detailed exploration of arts festivals as encapsulating the material, entrepreneurial circumstances of contemporary performance-making, this is the first major critical study of solo work since the millennium.

Queer lives give rise to a vast array of objects: the things we fill our houses with, the gifts we share with our friends, the commodities we consume at work and at play, the clothes and accessories we wear, and the analogue and digital technologies we use to communicate with one another. But what makes an object queer? The sixty-three chapters in Queer Objects consider this question in relation to lesbian, gay and transgender communities across time, cultures and space. In this unique international collaboration, well-known and newer writers traverse world history to write about items ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings and Roman artefacts to political placards, snapshots, sex toys and the smartphone. Fabulous, captivating, transgressive.

Punjab, 'the pride of British India', attracted the cream of the Indian Civil Service, many of the most influential of whom were Irish. Some of these men, along with Irish viceroys, were inspired by their Irish backgrounds to ensure security of tenure for the Punjabi peasant, besides developing vast irrigation schemes which resulted in the province becoming India's most affluent. But similar inspiration contributed to the severity of measures taken against Indian nationalist dissent, culminating in the Amritsar massacre which so catastrophically transformed politics on the sub-continent. Setting the experiences of Irish public servants in Punjab in the context of the Irish diaspora and of linked agrarian problems in Ireland and India, this book descrides the beneficial effects the Irish had on the prosperity of India's most volatile province. Alongside the baleful contribution of some towards a growing Indian antipathy towards British rule. Links are established between policies pursued by Irishmen of the Victorian era and current happenings on the Pakistan-Afghan border and in Punjab.

The senses in interior design examines how sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste have been mobilised within various forms of interiors. The chapters explore how the body navigates and negotiates the realities of designed interiors and challenge the traditional focus on star designers or ideal interiors that have left sensorial agency at the margins of design history. From the sensually gendered role of the fireplace in late sixteenth century Italy to the synaesthetic décors of Comte Robert de Montesquiou and the sensorial stimuli of Aesop stores, each chapter brings a new perspective on the central role that the senses have played in the conception, experiences and uses of interiors.
