Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2022Class, work and whiteness
Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79
by Nicola Ginsburgh
This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.

November 2010Die Pariser Weltausstellung 1889
Bilder von der Globalisierung
by Beat Wyss
Die gelungenste Weltausstellung aller Zeiten war die Exposition Universelle de Paris von 1889. Weit über 32 Millionen Menschen besuchten das gigantische Spektakel mit knapp 62.000 Ausstellern aus 54 Nationen und 17 französischen Kolonien. Das Wahrzeichen der Schau, der Eiffelturm, blieb Paris bis heute erhalten. Einen legendären Ruf erwarb sich auch das offizielle, wöchentlich erscheinende Journal der Weltausstellung. Auf großformatigen, mit Stahlstichen üppig illustrierten Seiten berichtete es von den Sensationen vor Ort, von dreirädrigen selbstfahrenden Karren und ethnologischen Dörfern, in denen es Kamelreiten für die Kinder und Bauchtänze für die Herren gab. Der Schweizer Kunsthistoriker Beat Wyss hat die hundert originellsten Abbildungen ausgewählt. Sie illustrieren, wie die Expo den Erdball auf ein »Weltdorf« zwischen Trocadéro und Champ de Mars schrumpfen lässt, wie räumliche Distanzen abgebaut und dabei kulturelle Differenzen freigelegt werden. Das späte 20. Jahrhundert wird dafür den Begriff der Globalisierung prägen. Beat Wyss zeigt, wie die Gesellschaften seit dem 19. Jahrhundert mit diesem Prozeß umgehen und mit der Verwestlichung der Welt eine Orientalisierung des Westens einhergeht. Dem Leser als Flaneur über die Bühne der Weltausstellung wird klar: Die Expo 1889 belegt nicht nur den aktuellen Zustand einer Zeit, sondern bietet über die spektakuläre Anordnung ihrer Exponate den Vorschein einer gesellschaftlichen Utopie.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2018Five Elizabethan progress entertainments
by Leah Scragg, Paul Edmondson
Designed to introduce the student or general reader to a largely unfamiliar area of Elizabethan theatrical activity, Five Elizabethan progress entertainments focuses on a group of entertainments mounted for the monarch in the closing years of her reign. Richly annotated, and prefaced by a substantial introduction, the texts enable an understanding of the motives underlying not only the progress itself, but the choice of locations the monarch elected to visit and the personal and political preoccupations of those with whom she determined to stay. Selected for their diversity, the entertainments exhibit the tensions underlying some royal visits, the lavish expenditure entailed for the monarch's hosts and the overlap in terms of both material and authorship between the progress entertainments and the more widely studied products of the sixteenth-century stage.

August 1985Die Besiegten
Aus dem Schwedischen von Beat Mazenauer. Mit einem Nachwort von Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss
by Peter Weiss, Beat Mazenauer, Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss
Peter Weiss wurde am 8. November 1916 in Nowawes bei Berlin geboren und starb am 10. Mai 1982 in Stockholm. Zwischen 1918 und 1929 lebte er in Bremen, wo er das Gymnasium besuchte. 1929 kehrte die Familie Weiss nach Berlin zurück, musste jedoch 1934 emigrieren. Die erste Station bildete London, darauf folgte 1936 die SR. In diesen Jahren widmete sich Peter Weiss vorwiegend der Malerei – 1937/1938 studierte er Malerei an der Kunstakademie in Prag. In dieser Zeit besuchte er Hermann Hesse während zweier längerer Aufenthalte in der Schweiz. Die dritte und letzte Emigrationsstation bildete 1939 Schweden, wo Peter Weiss zunächst in Alingsås, ab 1940 in Stockholm wohnte. Hier setzte er seine Tätigkeit als Maler fort. 1947 hielt er sich als Korrespondent einer schwedischen Tagesszeitung in Berlin auf. Seine Artikel versammelte er 1948 zu seiner ersten Buchpublikation. Der Band erschien posthum 1985 unter dem Titel Die Besiegten. Ab diesem Zeitraum entstanden, in schwedischer Sprache, die ersten Prosaarbeiten, Gedichte, und Dramen. Zu den wichtigsten Erzählungen aus dieser Schaffensperiode zählen Die Situation aus dem Jahre 1956 sowie das 1980 unter dem Autorenpseudonym Sinclair veröffentlichte Buch Der Fremde. Keines seiner Manuskripte wurde jedoch von einem schwedischen Verlag zur Publikation angenommen. Mitte der fünfziger Jahre begann Peter Weiss in deutscher Sprache zu schreiben. 1960 erschien sein erstes Prosabuch Der Schatten des Körpers des Kutschers. Zu Beginn der siebziger Jahre wand sich Peter Weiss wieder der Prosa zu. Zwischen 1975 und 1981 erschien der dreibändige Roman Die Ästhetik des Widerstands, deren letzter Band begleitet wird von Notizbücher 1971 – 1980. Ihm wurde posthum der Georg-Büchner-Preis für das Jahr 1982 zuerkannt. Beat Mazenauer, geboren 1958, Germanist und Historiker, lebt als Literaturkritiker und freier Autor in Luzern.

March 2021Collector's Edition of Can Xue's Works: Huangni Street
by Can Xue
"Huang Ni Street" is Can Xue's debut novel. The work describes people on a street and many things on Huangni Street. Huangni Street is always dirty, even the rain is gray. Can Xue made a detailed description of this street, but this description is different from the description of ordinary writers, with a big jump in thinking and no consistent storyline. There are simple characters and simple stories. Can Xue's first novel constructed Can Xue's very significant writing characteristics later, and these rich images give readers a very special reading experience. Can Xue breaks the usual thinking and framework of traditional novels, and has the typical characteristics of Can Xue from the beginning.

Does Movement Really Make Us Smart?
by Petra Jansen, Stefanie Richter
Media reports often praise movement as a cure-all. But apart from its undisputed positive effect on health, does movement really make us smarter? Consider a national football team, for example – are these excessively sports-driven players automatically the smartest people? Should we simply replace all school subjects with sports? The authors provide a detailed summary of the latest scientific findings on the influence of movement on cognitive ability. They describe the effects of movement, on old age, embodiment, emotion, school as well as other factors that influence cognition. Target Group: teachers, lecturers, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychotherapists, movement therapists.

The renewal of post-war Manchester
Planning, architecture and the state
by Richard Brook
A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.
