The ArtsApril 2024Hyde Park
by James Shirley
by Eugene Giddens
Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the volume unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley.

Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

January 2021Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern
Roman
by Camila Sosa Villada
Hass verjagt Camila von zu Hause. Sie geht in die Stadt, auf der Suche nach einem Ort, an dem sie feiern kann, was sie ist: trans. Sie trifft ihresgleichen, wird Teil einer Wahlfamilie aus Prostituierten und Marginalisierten. Und gemeinsam feiern sie: die Liebe, den Rausch, im Widerstand gegen eine Gesellschaft, die sie verachtet. Lebensgeschichte, Roman, Märchen, Manifest – Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern erzählt von der Freude am Leben gegen alle Widerstände, von Zugehörigkeit, von Befreiung und der alles entscheidenden Macht der Fantasie. Tief in der argentinischen Provinz ist es gefährlich, anders zu sein. Wer sich nicht einordnet, bekommt schnell Gewalt zu spüren, zuallererst vom eigenen Vater. Bei Camila war das nicht anders und es blieb nur die Flucht, nach Córdoba in die Anonymität der Stadt. Doch Camila will kein Opfer sein, sich nicht vorschreiben lassen, wo ihr Platz in der Gesellschaft ist. Im Park Sarmiento begegnet sie eines Nachts einer Schar Gleichgesinnter, schillernde Paradiesvögel, mit denen Camila fortan alles teilt: den Schnaps, die Träume, die Freier, Drogen und Demütigungen. Sie werden zu Schwestern in einem Märchen, zu Verbündeten im scheinbar aussichtslosen Kampf um Selbstbestimmung und Lebensfreude als Transsexuelle in Lateinamerika.

March 2013In einem fremden Park
Gartengedichte
by Rainer Maria Rilke, Marion Nickig, Marianne Beuchert
Rainer Maria Rilkes Gärten sind »von Königen gebaut«. Sie sind still und hoheitsvoll, wirken wie »nie betreten«. Mit blumenbegrenzten weiten Rasenflächen, mit Alleen, gestalteten Bäumen, Kieswegen, Palästen und Pavillons, mit Bänken und Treppen aus Stein, Sonnenuhren und Fontänen und einer Überfülle an Blumen gleichen sie ausgebreiteten Prunkgewändern. Ihr eigentlicher Zauber aber liegt in ihrer beständigen Verwandlung. Rilke preist das unauflösliche Ineinander von lebendigstem Dasein und Vergänglichkeit, jenes »Äußerste von Sein und Neigen«, mit zärtlichen, betörenden Worten. Die Auswahl Marianne Beucherts lädt zu einem Gang durch diese Gärten ein. Die Ausgabe wird ergänzt durch zwölf farbige Park- und Blumenaufnahmen von Marion Nickig.

May 2022Tourism Transformations in Protected Area Gateway Communities
by Susan L Slocum, Peter Wiltshier, John Basil Read IV, Dorothee Bohn, Andrea Zita Botelho, Kelly S. Bricker, Robert S. Bristow, Karina H. Casimiro, Rosa Suárez Chaparro, Ana Cristina Costa, Kynda R. Curtis, Margaret J. Daniels, Edieser Dela Santa, C. Michael Hall, Manuel Ramón Gonzalez Herrera, Russell M. Hicks, Julie Judkins, N. Qwynne Lackey, Natalya Lawrence, Gustavo C. X. M. P.

Sleipness, Maria Anunciação Ventura, Therez B. Walker
Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on tourism. Specific features of this book include: · Focus on transformations, which provides insight into the complex and dynamic nature of gateway communities. · Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural insights into protected area management. · Applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2011Cultural Region
North east England 1945–2000
by Natasha Vall
This book is the first historical assessment of English regional cultural policy. With its dialect and striking modern icons such as the Angel of the North, the north east has been described as England's most distinctive region. This study reveals the impact of the new cultural institutions that emerged after 1945 upon a region with deeply rooted vernacular traditions. The creation of the regional arts board and the development of regional broadcasting as well as the national efforts to manage the northern economic problems presented challenges for vernacular culture. In the ensuing battle between provincial and metropolitan values the north east as a modern cultural region took shape. The concluding chapters detail the cultural regeneration of the urban riversides, a much vaunted example of successful culture-led regeneration. This volume is essential for anyone with an interest in the formation of cultural identities, the development of regional government arts policies, urban regeneration and cultural and social history. ;

Ein Sonntagnachmittag Im Kilinski Park
by Arieh Stav
Ein Sonntagnachmittag Im Kilinski Park von Arieh Stav Gerüchte gingen umher. Ein Geruch von Angst lag in der Luft. Dann geschah alles unglaublich schnell. Die Sowjets gaben die Stadt auf. Die Deutschen standen vor den Toren. Mera Stollar packte ihr Baby und rannte um ihr Leben. Von diesem Tag an war ihr Leben eine Odyssee. Sie war auf der Flucht und es ging täglich um das pure Überleben. Dank der arischen Erscheinung ihres Sohnes (solange er nicht die Hosen herunterlassen musste...), dank ihres Erfindungsreichtums und ihrer Klugheit, entkamen sie aus der Stadt, nachdem bereits alle anderen Juden ermordet worden waren. Ohne Dokumente irrten Mutter und Kind auf Abwegen durch das besetzte Polen und gaben sich als polnische Flüchtlinge aus, bis sie schließlich Warschau erreichten. Unterwegs waren sie ständig in der Furcht, gefangen zu werden, Hunger, Kälte und Krankheit, der Herzlosigkeit gleichgültiger Menschen ausgesetzt. Doch es gab es auch Momente des Mitgefühls. Es war eine gefährliche und schwierige Flucht. Eine Christenfamilie warf sie aus ihrem Haus, als Mera sich mit der linken Hand bekreuzigte. Ein ukrainischer Spitzel verriet sie an die Polizei – der sichere Tod in Treblinka droht. Der Flüchtlingstrek geriet in einen Bombenhagel, und am ersten Tag nach der Befreiung wurde Mera auch noch der Kollaboration mit den Deutschen als schuldig befunden – ein Vergehen, das mit dem Tode bestraft wird. Arieh Stav ist der Direktor des Ariel Center for Policy Research, einer überparteilichen Organisation, die sich der umfassenden Forschung und dem Studium von politischen und strategischen Fragen über Israel und das jüdische Volk widmet. Stav ist Herausgeber von „Nativ“, einer zweimonatlich erscheinenden Zeitschrift für Politik und Kunst, sowie Autor und Herausgeber zahlreicher Bücher und Studien. Er hat zahlreiche Bände mit epischen Gedichten aus verschiedenen Zeiten und in zahlreichen Sprachen ins Hebräische übersetzt.

How European Psychologists Can Meet the Challenges
by Alexander Thomas
Culture and diversity are both challenge and opportunity. This volume looks at what psychologists are and can be doing to help society meet the challenges and grasp the opportunities in education, at work, and in clinical practice. The increasingly international and globalized nature of modern societies means that psychologists in particular face new challenges and have new opportunities in all areas of practice and research. The contributions from leading European experts cover relevant intercultural issues and topics in areas as diverse as personality, education and training, work and organizational psychology, clinical and counselling psychology, migration and international youth exchanges. As well as looking at the new challenges and opportunities that psychologists face in dealing with people from increasingly varied cultural backgrounds, perhaps more importantly they also explain and discuss how psychologists can deepen and acquire the intercultural competencies that are now needed in our professional lives. Target Group: psychotherapists / clinical psychologists / mental health professionals

Picture books, activity books & early learning material2016What Grows in the Park
by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna
This is a little story about big things like growing up in a community, appreciating similarities and differences in people around us, and discovering one's own identity in order to be happy. But it is also about learning how to recognize trees in a park and know them by their leaves, fruits and flowers — a little bit of eco-education conveyed in a very playful, fairy-tale manner. A sprout grows in a park and looks attentively at the trees around it — the birch, oak, maple, sycamore, chesnut, poplar tree, willow, and ginkgo — trying to discern its own identity by comparing itself to them, getting to know who is who, and figuring out whom it resembles. Because “happiness is having someone like you as a friend”.
