        Insanity, identity and empire

        Immigrants and institutional confinement in Australia and New Zealand, 1873–1910

        by Catharine Coleborne

        Insanity, identity and empire examines the formation of colonial social identities inside the institutions for the insane in Australia and New Zealand. Taking a large sample of patient records, it pays particular attention to gender, ethnicity and class as categories of analysis, reminding us of the varied journeys of immigrants to the colonies and of how and where they stopped, for different reasons, inside the social institutions of the period. It is about their stories of mobility, how these were told and produced inside institutions for the insane, and how, in the telling, colonial identities were asserted and formed. Having engaged with the structural imperatives of empire and with the varied imperial meanings of gender, sexuality and medicine, historians have considered the movements of travellers, migrants, military bodies and medical personnel, and 'transnational lives'. This book examines an empire-wide discourse of 'madness' as part of this inquiry.

        Dance of the Wild

        by Richa Jha and Ruchi Mhasane

        Little Shilu loves to dance around naked. She wants to be like the animals; like Pirate, her cat. When her grandmother Nannu says she can’t because she is now a big girl, Shilu gets down to understanding why she can’t. Peppered with Nannu’s loving chiding, intimate grandma-granddaughter bonding over conversations, and a heart-to-heart between the mother and this little inquisitive daughter, this book is a reflection of the wild and free nature of childhood.  Rhuchi Mhasane’s soft evocative illustrations rendered in pencil with watercolour, and put together digitally, create a dreamlike charm. Richa Jha’s gentle, affectionate and lyrical text takes the reader into the mind of the little girl who can’t wait to get the answers to her ‘Why can’t I?’

        Seawalkers (3). Wild Waves

        by Katja Brandis/Claudia Carls

        The students and teachers at Blue Reef High are worried sick. It’s not just because recently there’s been an influx of reptile and python shapeshifters who are causing chaos. Now there’s a powerful hurricane building up off the coast of Florida. Tiago, the shark shapeshifter, the dolphin girl Shari and all their friends decide to escape by swimming out to the open sea. But will they really be safe there? And will Blue Reef High still be standing when they return? Quite apart from the hurricane, Tiago has heard some unpleasant rumours – that some unscrupulous business people are going to organize fights between divers and sharks. Is this true, and if so, will the Seawalker friends be able to defend themselves?

        Gedichte aus Liebe

        by Thomas Brasch, Thomas Wild, Thomas Wild

        Liebe ist für Thomas Brasch (1945–2001) eine Haltung, die sich jeder Festlegung verweigert. Eine Haltung, die ihre Träume fürchtend und sehnend der Wirklichkeit aussetzt und das Mögliche stets in den Horizont des Unmöglichen stellt. Braschs dichterische Leidenschaft hofft und verzweifelt, vertraut und betrügt, preist und vernichtet. Und sie belehrt: Wann, wem und wie schreibt man ein erotisches Gedicht? In dem Band stehen Gedichte, die Brasch eigenständig und zu Lebzeiten publiziert hat, neben literarischen Hinterlassenschaften. Texte aus den frühen Jahren(»Anna, komm …«) sind ebenso vertreten wie Arbeiten aus jüngerer Zeit, etwa eine Gruppe mit Brunke-Gedichten, die in den 1990er Jahren entstanden sind.

        In the company of wolves

        Werewolves, wolves and wild children

        by Sam George, Bill Hughes

        In the company of wolves presents further research from the Open Graves, Open Minds Project. It connects together innovative research from a variety of perspectives on the cultural significance of wolves, wild children and werewolves as portrayed in different media and genres. We begin with the wolf itself as it has been interpreted as a cultural symbol and how it figures in contemporary debates about wilderness and nature. Alongside this, we consider eighteenth-century debates about wild children ­- often thought to have been raised by wolves and other animals - and their role in key questions about the origins of language and society. The collection continues with essays on werewolves and other shapeshifters as depicted in folk tales, literature, film and TV, concluding with the transition from animal to human in contemporary art, poetry and fashion.
