Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2022Comic empires
Imperialism in cartoons, caricature, and satirical art
by Richard Scully, Alan Lester, Andrekos Varnava
Comic empires is a unique collection of new research exploring the relationship between imperialism and political cartoons, caricature, and satirical art. Edited by leading scholars across both fields (and with contributions from contexts as diverse as Egypt, Australia, the United States, and China, as well as Europe) the volume provides new perspectives on well-known events, and illuminates little-known players in the 'great game' of empire in modern times. Some of the finest comic art of the period is deployed as evidence, and examined seriously, in its own right, for the first time. Accessible to students of history at all levels, Comic empires is a major addition to the world-leading 'Studies in Imperialism' series, as well as standing alone as an innovative and significant contribution to the ever-growing international field of comics studies.

February 2001Comic politics
Gender in Hollywood Comedy
by Mark Jancovich, Eric Schaefer
Are Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, and Eddie Murphy the celluloid compatriots of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair? This book argues that the rubber faces of '80s and '90s comedy films, helped to transform us into the flexible, self-managing citizens beloved of the new right—and its successors. Through its sustained look at the box-office comedies of the last two decades, Comic Politics provides a critical introduction to key approaches to comedy. It tests the usefulness and limits of psychoanalytics, Bakhtinian and postmodernist theory against comedians and comedies from Woody Allen to Wayne's World. The book includes a look at animation and computer enhanced comedies.

April 2013Flughunde
Graphic Novel
by Ulli Lust, Marcel Beyer, Andreas Platthaus, Marcel Beyer
Seit dem Erscheinen seines ebenso brillanten wie erschütternden Romans »Flughunde« im Jahr 1995 gilt Marcel Beyer als »einer der besten jungen Romanciers der Gegenwart« (The New Yorker). »Flughunde«, mittlerweile in 14 Sprachen übersetzt, erzählt vom Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs aus der Perspektive eines fanatischen Akustikers im Dienste der Nazis und aus der Sicht einer der Töchter Goebbels’, erzählt von der Instrumentalisierung der Sprache durch die Propaganda und von Experimenten mit menschlichen Stimmen. Ulli Lust, eine der bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Comic-Künstler und erst kürzlich mit dem Comic-Oscar, dem Prix Révélation, ausgezeichnet, legt hier Marcel Beyers verstörendes Meisterwerk als Graphic Novel vor.

October 2015Partyspaß mit Kant
Philosofunnies
by Nicolas Mahler
Nicolas Mahlers kleine Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie von Platon bis Foucault Philosophie ist unverständlich, langweilig und witzlos? Denkste! Das kann nur der behaupten, der noch nicht Nicolas Mahlers ebenso kluge wie subtil komische Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie kennt. Hier erzählt er bislang unbekannte Szenen aus dem Leben der 22 berühmtesten Philosophinnen und Philosophen: Wir erleben Partyspaß mit Kant, besuchen mit Hegel eine Kunstausstellung, sind mit Marx im Supermarkt und mit Nietzsche im Pfadfinderlager, gehen mit Deleuze ins Kino und feiern Traumhochzeit mit Simone de Beauvoir … Und auch wenn sich nichts so zugetragen hat, haben wir mehr über das Leben, Denken und Fühlen des jeweiligen Philosophen erfahren als je zuvor – und wie selten über die Absurdität unserer menschlichen Existenz gelacht.

March 2024Wilhelm Busch »Wer Sorgen hat, hat auch Likör«
by Paula Schmid, Burkhard Neie
»Dieses war der erste Streich und der nächste folgt sogleich«: Seine Bildergeschichten sind Allgemeingut, seine Reime sprichwörtlich geworden. Wilhelm Busch hat seine Mitmenschen mit Sympathie, aber unbestechlich und ohne ein Blatt vor den Mund zu nehmen, gezeichnet und beschrieben: ihre Gesinnung, die Habgier, die Frivolität und Rücksichtslosigkeit. Als »ernsthafter Maler« blieb ihm größere Anerkennung und Ansehen versagt, als Autor und Grafiker wurde er zu einem der meistgelesenen Künstler Deutschlands, avancierte schon bald zum Klassiker der komischen Literatur. Bedeutende Zeichner, Autoren und Comic-Künstler haben ihn als ihr Vorbild bezeichnet. Der vorliegende Band bietet ein kleines ABC seiner berühmten Sentenzen aus Max und Moritz oder der Frommen Helene, aus Maler Klecksel und Balduin Bählamm, ergänzt mit seinen bekanntesten Gedichten und Aphorismen. Den Band rundet ein Auszug aus seiner autobiografischen Skizze Von mir über mich ab: »Das Reden tut dem Menschen gut, wenn man es nämlich selber tut.«

The ArtsJanuary 2019The secret life of romantic comedy
by Celestino Deleyto
The secret life of romantic comedy offers a new approach to one of the most popular and resilient genres in the history of Hollywood. Steering away from the rigidity and ideological determinism of traditional accounts of the genre, this book advocates a more flexible theory, which allows the student to explore the presence of the genre in unexpected places, extending the concept to encompass films that are not usually considered romantic comedies. Combining theory with detailed analyses of a selection of films, including To Be or Not to Be (1942), Rear Window (1954), Kiss Me Stupid (1964), Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) and Before Sunset (2004), the book aims to provide a practical framework for the exploration of a key area of contemporary experience - intimate matters - through one of its most powerful filmic representations: the genre of romantic comedy. Original and entertaining, The secret life of romantic comedy is perfect for students and academics of film and film genre.

But what makes an object queer? The sixty-three chapters in Queer Objects consider this question in relation to lesbian, gay and transgender communities across time, cultures and space. In this unique international collaboration, well-known and newer writers traverse world history to write about items ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings and Roman artefacts to political placards, snapshots, sex toys and the smartphone.

The ArtsMarch 2021Queer exceptions
Solo performance in neoliberal times
by Stephen Greer
Queer exceptions is a study of contemporary solo performance in the UK and Western Europe that explores the contentious relationship between identity, individuality and neoliberalism. With diverse case studies featuring the work of La Ribot, David Hoyle, Oreet Ashery, Bridget Christie, Tanja Ostojic, Adrian Howells and Nassim Soleimanpour, the book examines the role of singular or 'exceptional' subjects in constructing and challenging assumed notions of communal sociability and togetherness, while drawing fresh insight from the fields of sociology, gender studies and political philosophy to reconsider theatre's attachment to singular lives and experiences. Framed by a detailed exploration of arts festivals as encapsulating the material, entrepreneurial circumstances of contemporary performance-making, this is the first major critical study of solo work since the millennium.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2021De-centering queer theory
Communist sexuality in the flow during and after the Cold War
by Bogdan Popa, Gurminder Bhambra
De-centering queer theory seeks to reorient queer theory to a different conception of bodies and sexuality derived from Eastern European Marxism. The book articulates a contrast between the concept of the productive body, which draws its epistemology from Soviet and avant-garde theorists, and Cold War gender, which is defined as the social construction of the body. The first part of the book concentrates on the theoretical and visual production of Eastern European Marxism, which proposed an alternative version of sexuality to that of western liberalism. In doing so it offers a historical angle to understand the emergence not only of an alternative epistemology, but also of queer theory's vocabulary. The second part of the book provides a Marxist, anti-capitalist archive for queer studies, which often neglects to engage critically with its liberal and Cold War underpinnings.
