      Rethinking untouchability

      The political thought of B. R. Ambedkar

      by Jesús F. Cháirez-Garza

      This book examines the transformation of untouchability into a political idea in India during the first half of the twentieth century. At its heart is Ambedkar's role and the concepts he used to champion untouchability as a political problem. Ambedkar's main objective was to comprehend the numerous avatars of untouchability in order to eradicate this practice. Ambedkar understood untouchability beyond aspects of ritual purity and pollution by stressing its complex nature and uncovering the political, historical, racial, spatial and emotional characteristics contained in this concept. Ambedkar believed the abolition of untouchability depended on a widespread alteration of India's political, economic and cultural systems. Ambedkar reframed the problem of untouchability by linking it to larger concepts floating in the political environment of late colonial India such as representation, slavery, race, the Indian village, internationalism and even the creation of Pakistan.

      Papa Hamlet

      by Arno Holz, Johannes Schlaf, Theo Meyer, Theo Meyer

      Der »große, unübertroffene Hamlet«, ein Schmierenschauspieler, ein Komödiant, der mit seiner schwindsüchtigen Frau in Schmutz, Hunger und Kälte ein erbärmliches Leben in der Dachstube fristet, geht zugrunde am Alkohol, nachdem er in der Wut sein schreiendes Kind erwürgt hat. In den drei Erzählungen, die sich hinter dem Titel Papa Hamlet verbergen, ist es vor allem der neue Stoff- und Themenbereich, der 1889 bei Erscheinen des Bandes Aufsehen erregte: das soziale Elend des großstädtischen Industrieproletariats und die triste Schattenwelt von Armut und Laster, erzählt mit einer sprachlichen Sensibilität, die fähig war, alle Details der Alltagswelt aufzunehmen.
