        Pasticcio opera in Britain

        History and context

        by Peter Morgan Barnes

        This study overturns twentieth-century thinking about pasticcio opera. This radical way of creating opera formed a counterweight, even a relief, to the trenchant masculinity of literate culture in the seventeenth century. It undermined the narrowing of nationalism in the eighteenth century, and was an act of gross sacrilege against the cult of Romantic genius in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, it found itself on the wrong side of copyright law. However, in the twenty-first century it is enjoying a tentative revival. This book redefines pasticcio as a method rather than a genre of opera and aligns it with other art forms which also created their works from pre-existing parts, including sculpture. A pasticcio opera is created from pre-existing music and text, thus flying in face of insistence on originality and creation by a solo genius.

        by William Linnard, David Darrah-Morgan

It contains many new terms, species names, acronyms and abbreviations to account for the great changes which have taken place in Russian forestry in terms of mechanization, woodworking technology, forest management and economics, environmental pollution and conservation. A list of the botanical names of trees and shrubs, with their Russian and English equivalents has also been included.The book has been compiled by Dr William Linnard, former Assistant Director of the Commonwealth Forestry Bureau, with over forty years’ experience of abstracting and translating forestry literature and David Darrah-Morgan, M.A. (Translation), a full-time translator, specializing in forestry and related fields.

        Inventions of modernity

        by Colin Nicholson

        Edwin Morgan is Scotland's major living poet, and Inventions of modernity was the first book-length study of his work. Since the 1940s Morgan's poetry has been carving out an alternative to the conventional evolutions from Modernism to Postmodernism, creating instead a substantial body of writing that ranges from the sublime to the hilarious. Instinctively at odds with the literary politics of the Pound-Eliot axis that remained influential deep into the twentieth century, Morgan develops instead a radical and libertarian poetics in an encyclopaedia of forms; from Anglo-Saxon metre through sonnet-sequences to concrete poems, and including gay poetry, science fiction verse and prize-winning translations into both English and Scots from numerous languages. This authoritative volume is of interest to students, teachers and academic researchers involved with strategies of reading, with cultural studies, with the politics of literary history and with gay and transgressive writing. ;

        Die politische Ontologie Martin Heideggers

        by Pierre Bourdieu, Bernd Schwibs

        Über das Verhältnis Martin Heideggers und dessen Philosophie zum Nationalsozialismus ist viel diskutiert worden. Das vorliegende Buch von Pierre Bourdieu ist ein Beitrag zu dieser Debatte – jedoch nicht durch den Nachweis philosophieexterner Bezüge zwischen NS-Politik und den Handlungen dieses Philosophen. Bourdieu geht es vielmehr um die Rekonstruktion sowohl der verschiedenen Varianten der Weltanschauung der »konservativen Revolutionäre« als auch der intellektuellen und sozialen Logik des philosophischen Feldes, auf dem sich die Überführung der völkischen Gesinnung in die existentielle Philosophie vollzieht. Erst dann kann man die politische Ontologie Martin Heideggers verstehen und bewerten.

        Martin Walser liest »Die Verteidigung der Kindheit«

        Tonband-Kassette. 45 Minuten

        by Martin Walser

        Die Verteidigung der Kindheit. Ein Liebesroman also. Da die Welt für große Liebe nicht eingerichtet ist, bringt eine solche Liebe den Liebenden nicht das, was man Glück nennt. Schon gar nicht, wenn diese Liebe die eines Sohnes zu seiner Mutter ist. Alfred Dorn wehrt sich gegen das Leben, weil es zum Tod führt, gegen das Erwachsensein. Erwachsen werden, das hieße zugeben, daß man nicht geworden ist, was man werden wollte. Er war ja fast ein Wunderkind. Diese Liebes-Geschichte hört auch nach dem Tod der Mutter nicht auf. Jetzt muß Alfred Dorn erst recht die Kindheit verteidigen gegen Gegenwart und Zukunft, er will alles so festhalten, wie es wirklich gewesen ist. Er will retten: Sätze, Träume, Tage, Jahre; alles, was das Inferno des 13. Februar 1945 in Dresden übriggelassen hat; und alles, was die Mutter noch berührt hat, wird zum Heiligtum. Und weil dieser Roman einer großen Liebe von 1929 bis 1987 in Deutschland spielt und von Dresden über Leipzig nach Berlin und nach Wiesbaden führt, wird er unwillkürlich auch ein deutsches Epos dieser Zeit.
