        Ein gewisser Plume

        by Henri Michaux, Kurt Leonhard

        Der Dreh- und Angelpunkt dieser tollkühnen Textsammlung – ein gewisser »Plume« – ist ein Meister der absurden Welterfahrung. Tut ihm sein Finger weh, wird er ihm von einem eifrigen Chirurgen amputiert. Bestellt Plume in einem Restaurant ein Gericht, das nicht auf der Karte steht, wird er in einem kafkaesken Spektakel von Polizei und Geheimdienst gejagt. Eine Königin nötigt ihn so lange zum Liebesspiel, bis ihr Gemahl das Schlafgemach betritt. Und in einem Augenblick dummer Zerstreutheit läuft Plume »mit den Füßen über die Zimmerdecke, anstatt sie am Boden zu behalten. Als er dessen gewahr wurde, war es leider zu spät«. Henri Michaux, Reisender in wirklicher und imaginärer Fremde und Experimentator verborgener Bewusstseinsräume, hat mit der Gestalt des Plume eine prägnante wie tragische Spielfigur seiner eigenen Phantasie geschaffen. Die Prosatexte, Gedichte und Kurzdramen des vorliegenden Bandes offenbaren die Absurdität unhinterfragter Glaubenssätze und Verhaltenscodices. Zugleich kann Ein gewisser Plume auch als Hommage an alles Abseitige, Komische und Verquere gelesen werden. Michaux, der sich zunächst den Surrealisten nahe fühlte, widmete sich nach seinen ersten literarischen Publikationen verstärkt der Malerei und Experimenten mit Meskalin, über die er später viel beachtete Bücher schrieb. Als Künstler nahm er mehrmals an der Documenta teil, 1960 wurde ihm auf der Biennale von Venedig der Einaudi-Preis verliehen.

        The search for democratic renewal

        The politics of consultation in Britain and Australia

        by Rob Manwaring

        Why is the search for democratic renewal so elusive? This book examines both the political and policy implications of efforts by the centre-left to transform democracy. This is a story not only about democratic change, but also the identity crisis of centre-left political parties. The book offers a fresh critique of the Big Society agenda, and analyses why both left and right are searching for democratic renewal. Drawing on high-profile interviews and examining an in-depth series of comparative cases, the book argues that the centre-left's search for democratic renewal contains a range of policy and political aims, contradictions and tensions. It will be of interest to students, academics, researchers, interest groups and policy analysts interested in consultation, democratic renewal, labour politics, and Australian and British politics. ;

        The penny politics of Victorian popular fiction

        by Rob Breton

        Penny politics offers a new way to read early Victorian popular fiction such as Jack Sheppard, Sweeney Todd, and The Mysteries of London. It locates forms of radical discourse in the popular literature that emerged simultaneously with Brittan's longest and most significant people's movement. It listens for echoes of Chartist fiction in popular fiction. The book rethinks the relationship between the popular and political, understanding that radical politics had popular appeal and that the lines separating a genuine radicalism from commercial success are complicated and never absolute. With archival work into Newgate calendars and Chartist periodicals, as well as media history and culture, it brings together histories of the popular and political so as to rewrite the radical canon.

        Transforming folk

        Innovation and tradition in English folk-rock music

        by Rob Burns

        English folk-rock, a former progressive rock music style, remains a stimulus for further change in folk music and has enabled English folk-rock to become regarded as popular music by a new audience with diverse musical tastes. From musicological and historical perspectives, this book maintains that folk music performance continues to be influenced by rock and other popular music styles. From a cultural studies perspective, this book also demonstrates how the popularity of folk music presented at world music festivals has stimulated significant growth in folk music audiences since the mid-1990s and consequently the UK is experiencing a new phase of revivalism - the third folk revival. The book contains contributions from Martin Carthy (The Imagined Village), Simon Nicol (Fairport Convention), Ashley Hutchings (The Albion Band), Gerry Conway (Fairport Convention) and Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span). ;
