Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, Karen Garner documents international women's history through the lens of the long-established Western-led international organisations that defined and dominated women's involvement in global politics from the 1925 founding of the Joint Standing Committee of Women's International Organisations up through the UN Decade for Women (1976-85). Documenting specific global campaigns in episodes that span the twentieth century, Garner includes biographical information about lesser known international leaders as she discusses important historic debates regarding feminist goals and strategies among women from the East and West, North and South. This interdisciplinary study addresses questions of interest to historians, political scientists, international relations scholars, sociologists, and feminist scholars and activists whose work promotes women's and human rights. ;

Mit ihrem Konzept des »Agentialen Realismus« findet Karen Barad seit einigen Jahren große Aufmerksamkeit, insbesondere unter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, die sich mit Diskursanalyse, Techniksoziologie und Gender Studies beschäftigten. Barads Anliegen besteht darin, das Denken über Sprache, Diskurse und Dinge auf eine radikal neue Grundlage zu stellen. In ihrem vielbeachteten Essay, mit dem nun erstmals ein Text Barads auf Deutsch vorliegt, plädiert sie ausgehend von epistemologischen Überlegungen des dänischen Physikers Niels Bohr dafür, die Grenzen zwischen den Objekten, unseren Instrumenten, der Sprache und den menschlichen Beobachtern neu zu vermessen.

Set in a post-apocalyptic Philippines, Naermyth tells of a world plagued by the monsters of myth and legends who have stepped out of their storybook shadows to assume world dominion. They are the Naermyth (a word play on “never myth”) and have forced the human race close to extinction and fodder for the growing supremacy of these creatures. Among the survivors is Aegis, a seasoned soldier, and her story takes a dark turn when she rescues a stranger with mysterious abilities. Clearly, he is not human, and saving him triggers a series of revelations that challenges the meanings of monstrosity, heroism and family.

»Ehrengard«, die letzte Erzählung, die Tania Blixen geschrieben hat, hätte, wie Tania Blixen kurz vor ihrem Tod verraten hat, auch den Titel »Tagebuch des Verführers« tragen können: wie Søren Kierkegaards berühmtes Buch von 1843. Ein ironischer Unterton wäre dabei aber nicht zu überhören gewesen, denn die raffiniert inszenierte Verführung steht bei Tina Blixen unter einem ganz anderen Zeichen, einer anderen Bedeutung. Was erzählt wird, läßt sich nicht skizzieren, ohne die überraschenden Wendungen zu verraten, die den Leser und die Leserin bei der Lektüre rasch in eine unerwartete, ständig wachsende Anteilnahme versetzten. Nur so viel sei verraten: Im Kern der Handlung geht es um den Wunsch des Malers Johann Wolfgang Cazotte, des »unwiderstehlichsten Don Juan seiner Zeit«, das junge Mädchen Ehrengard zu verführen: sie zur Erkenntnis ihrer selbst zu bringen. Aber Tania Blixen hat mit ihren Gestalten etwas anderes vor, als Cazotte es sich ausgemalt hat, und doch – in tieferem Sinne – eben dasselbe: Formung eines Schicksals.

This unique picture book is a creation of Khrystyna Lukashchuk, a well-known Ukrainian author and artist recognized as one of the best illustrators of independent Ukraine. From the emergence of Ukraine through its darkest times to its final victory over evil, A Tale Of Light allows us to find answers to dramatic questions: how can we explain to children why there is a war in their country? Why can not the enemy leave the Ukrainian land in peace? What will help us to defeat the enemy for good? The profound symbolic images that the author recreated will guide the readers along their journey. Ukrainians have been tapping into them for long times to find a source of harmony and internal strength – they are a powerful source of Light sustained by Ukrainian history, culture, and language. No enemy, however big or conniving, can destroy this Light. From 3 to 6 years, 719 words Rightsholders: bondarenkosvetlak@gmail.com

An Idea for a Theatre Ecology is the first book in the discipline of Theatre and Performance Studies to provide a rigorous and coherent theory of the ecology that is immanent to the theatrical medium. Over six clearly written chapters, the book provides a genealogy, outlines a method, provides a lexicon and demonstrates an alternative practice of ecoperformance analysis grounded in the figure of the archipelago. Focusing on Antonin Artaud's theatre of cruelty, the book argues that theatre has no need to provide ecological messages nor to transform itself into a platform for the narration of ecological stories. Instead, more is to be gained, environmentally and politically, by concentrating on the power of images, gestures and voices to create corporeal affects and sensations that implicate the spectators in a terrestrial event.

The essays in this collection show how histories written in the past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present, these essays consider both individual historians, including such key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock, and also broader themes such as the relationship between liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story: race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of British history. The contributors include some of the most distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake, John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz, Kathleen Wilson. ;
