Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2023Hari Kunzru
by Kristian Shaw, Sara Upstone
This book is the first edited collection to focus on the work of contemporary author Hari Kunzru. It contains major new essays on each of his novels - The Impressionist, Transmission, My Revolutions, Gods Without Men, White Tears and Red Pill - as well as his short fiction and non-fiction writings. The collection situates Kunzru's work within current debates regarding postmodernism, postcolonialism, and post-postmodernism, and examines how Kunzru's work is central to major thematic concerns of contemporary writing including whiteness, national identity, Britishness, cosmopolitanism, music, space, memory, art practice, trauma, Brexit, immigration, covid-19, and populist politics. The book engages with current debates regarding the politics of publishing of ethnic writers, examining how Kunzru has managed to shape a career in resistance of narrow labelling where many other writers have struggled to achieve long-term recognition.

International relationsDecember 2014India in a globalized world
by Sagarika Dutt
This book, newly available in paperback, looks at India in the context of a globalized world. It starts by looking at the history of Indian civilization, exploring the roots of Indian identity and highlighting processes such as foreign invasions, foreign trade, cultural imperialism, colonial rule and the growth of Indian nationalism. The book examines the gradual democratization of Indian politics. Cultural and ethnic divisions in Indian society are examined in depth, as are the problems that have prevented economic development and stood in the way of economic liberalization. The history of India's integration into the global economy is considered, and the opportunities available to the country in the early years of the twenty-first century are detailed. The final chapters consider the Indian government's perception of the Indian diaspora, as well as the changing priorities reflected in India's foreign policy since 1947.

Searching for the Left in a fragmented world
by Bishnupriya Dutt, Silvija Jestrovic
Through the lens of performance and politics, this collection zooms in on the context-specific dimensions, analogies, and micro-histories of the Left to better understand the larger picture. It proposes a search for the Left not from totalising Leftist ideological positions and partisan politics but from ethical dimensions through smaller-scale Left-leaning struggles; not from the political to the aesthetic, but from the potentiality of art to offer new political imagination and critique; not from the individual subordinated to the collective, but from the dialectics of subjectivity and collectivity. This is not an attempt at a sweeping global overview of Leftist cultures either, but a collection that brings together culture-specific and comparative perspectives. This book searches for fragments of and on the Left, past and present, through which to rethink and patch a fragmented world.

July 2013Prosa
by Bertolt Brecht
»Wenige wissen heute ...« – so beginnt zum Beispiel die Geschichte um Giacomo Ui aus Padua, eine »Satire auf Hitler im Stile der Historiographen der Renaissance«, wie Walter Benjamin im September 1934 bei einem seiner Besuche bei Brecht im dänischen Exil erfährt. Wenige wissen heute, daß der Stückeschreiber und Lyriker erste überregionale Beachtung findet als Erzähler mit seiner »Flibustiergeschichte« Bargan läßt es sein (erschienen im September 1921 in München): »die Leute kennen alle die Novelle im Merkur und reden einiges davon und wollen mir alle noch behilflich sein«, weiß Brecht – auf der Suche nach »Verbindungen« in Berlin – zum Jahresende von dort zu berichten. Die vorliegende Quarto-Ausgabe versammelt die großen Exiltexte und Vorhaben, den Dreigroschenroman und die Romanfragmente über die sog. Tuis oder über Caesar, genauso wie frühe Romanentwürfe etwa zu den Geschäften mit dem Boxen, die Prosasammlungen wie die Geschichten vom Herrn Keuner (einschließlich der erst 2004 entdeckten) oder das Buch der Wendungen sowie alle Einzelgeschichten und Filmgeschichten: Seeräuber und Boxer, höfliche Chinesen, klassische Mythen, Mata Hari, Henry Dunant oder Eulenspiegel sind Beispiele aus dem breiten Spektrum der Texte von 1913 bis 1956.

This book looks at disease resistance in wheat, concentrating on all the economically important diseases - their economic impact and geographical spread, breeding for resistance, pathogen variability, resistance mechanisms and recent advances made on resistance genes. Newer strategies for identifying resistance genes and identify resistance mechanisms are discussed, including cloning, gene transfer and the use of genetically modified plants.
