Frederik
Erzählung
by Kurt Aebli
So klassisch wie das Thema, so unverwechselbar ist diese Prosa. Kurt Aebli berichtet von einer Person, die verschwindet. Prosaminiaturen von traurig-komischer Aura haben diesen Erzähler bekannt gemacht, seine Wahrnehmungsschärfe, seine treffsicheren Provokationen durch das Unspektakuläre wurden als „Aeblifizierungen des Alltags“ beschrieben. Und seine hohe Kunst der Tarnung und Täuschung führt Kurt Aebli auch in seiner Erzählung Frederik verstörend vor. Wer ist Frederik? Was ist uns eine Person, wenn sie plötzlich nicht mehr da ist? In drei Kapiteln wirft Kurt Aebli drei Blicke auf seine rätselhafte Figur Frederik, um nach und nach die Blende dieser Prosa der Ausdeutung schärfer stellen zu können. Zunächst reist Frederiks Freundin Yvette von Zürich nach New York, trifft dort nur Paul, den Freund von Frederik, und irrt zunehmend verlorener durch die Riesenstadt. Schließlich begegnen wir Paul in Zürich und dann Frederik flanierend in Berlin. In ständiger und raffinierter Verschiebung von Blick, Zeit und Ort und in einer Sprache, die zwischen Ironie und Witz, kühler Beobachtung und philosophierender Selbstbespiegelung sich spielerisch zu bewegen weiß, können wir Leser bemerken: Das Verschwinden kann schwierig sein.

The Host Gaze in Global Tourism
by Edited by Omar Moufakkir, Yvette Reisinger
Most tourism theories have been developed from the tourists' perspective, including the seminal work by John Urry, 'The Tourist Gaze', which is now a classic text. The Host Gaze in Global Tourism is a unique book for researchers and students as it is the first to look at the host gaze from within the host community. It discusses how the gaze is constructed, how it has developed, how it varies between countries and how the tourism industry can affect it. By looking at the gazes of both Western and non-Western hosts, this book analyses the dynamics of a host destination and consequences the gaze can have upon the tourist.

Sozialer Raum und »Klassen«
Zwei Vorlesungen
by Pierre Bourdieu, Bernd Schwibs, Yvette Delsaut
Die Konstruktion einer angemessenen Theorie des sozialen Raumes setzt den Bruch mit einer Reihe marxistischer Theoreme voraus: zunächst mit einer ›substantialistischen‹ Konzeption der sozialen Gruppen; dann mit der intellektualistischen Illusion, die vom Wissenschaftler entworfenen Gruppen ließen sich im Realen identifizieren; drittens mit der ökonomistischen Reduktion des sozialen Raumes auf die ökonomischen Produktionsverhältnisse, das heißt der Unterschlagung der symbolischen Auseinandersetzung um die Repräsentation (in) der sozialen Welt. – Der Text ist die erweiterte Fassung eines Vortrages, den Bourdieu zur Eröffnung der «Suhrkamp Vorlesungen für Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften« im Februar 1984 in Frankfurt gehalten hat. Der zweite Text – Bourdieus Antrittsvorlesung am Collège de France vom April 1982 – ist das paradoxe Unternehmen, mit der Autorität des Vortragenden autoritativ vorzutragen, was es heißt, mit Autorität vorzutragen.

Disability and the Victorians
Attitudes, interventions, legacies
by Iain Hutchison, Martin Atherton, Jaipreet Virdi
Disability and the Victorians brings together in one collection a range of topics, perspectives and experiences from the Victorian era that present a unique overview of the development and impact of attitudes and interventions towards those with impairments during this time. The collection also considers how the legacies of these actions can be seen to have continued throughout the twentieth century right up to the present day. Subjects addressed include deafness, blindness, language delay, substance dependency, imperialism and the representation of disabled characters in popular fiction. These varied topics illustrate how common themes can be found in how Victorian philanthropists and administrators responded to those under their care. Often character, morality and the chance to be restored to productivity and usefulness overrode medical need and this both influenced and reflected wider societal views of impairment and inability.

Exiting war
The British Empire and the 1918–20 moment
by Romain Fathi, Margaret Hutchison, Andrekos Varnava, Michael Walsh, Alan Lester
Exiting war explores a particular 1918-20 'moment' in the British Empire's history, between the First World War's armistices of 1918, and the peace treaties of 1919 and 1920. That moment, we argue, was a challenging and transformative time for the Empire. While British authorities successfully answered some of the post-war tests they faced, such as demobilisation, repatriation, and fighting the widespread effects of the Spanish flu, the racial, social, political and economic hallmarks of their imperialism set the scene for a wide range of expressions of loyalties and disloyalties, and anticolonial movements. The book documents and conceptualises this 1918-20 'moment' and its characteristics as a crucial three-year period of transformation for and within the Empire, examining these years for the significant shifts in the imperial relationship that occurred and as laying the foundation for later change in the imperial system.
