        »Die Juden«

        Ein Dokument aus dem Exil 1942/43

        by Theodor Wolff, Bernd Sösemann

        Dieses bisher unveröffentlichte Manuskript aus dem Nachlass Theodor Wolffs, geschrieben in Nizza zwischen 1942 und 1943, ist der erste Band eines geplanten dreiteiligen Zyklus, zu dem auch die Bände »Die Franzosen« und »Die Deutschen« gehören sollten. Den eigentlichen jüdischen Fragen gegenüber verhielt Wolff stets sehr zurückhaltend; einen besonderen Wert besitzen darum diese Aufzeichnungen, in denen sich Betrachtungen und Gedanken sowie »aktuelle« Berichte und autobiographische Details zu den historischen, politisch-ideologischen, gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen, religiösen und rechtlichen Dimensionen des »jüdischen Problems« im Laufe der Jahrhunderte finden. Theodor Wolffs persönliche Situation im französischen Exil sowie die antisemitische Stimmung in Frankreich vor und im Zweiten Weltkrieg, die Verfolgungen in Marseille, die Opposition in Frankreich, das deutsche Besatzungsregime stehen dabei im Vordergrund dieses gut formulierten, dicht gewebten, mitunter feuilletonistisch geschriebenen Essays, in dem sich ein unabhängiger Geist, ein literarisch gebildeter, wohlinformierter politischer Kopf zeigt.

        Culture in Manchester

        Institutions and urban change since 1850

        by Janet Wolff

        This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff. ;

        Hinter Mauern

        Geschlossene Grenzen als Gefahr für die offene Gesellschaft

        by Frank Wolff, Volker M. Heins

        »Wir müssen diese Bilder aushalten«, sagte Sachsens Ministerpräsident Michael Kretschmer im November 2021 angesichts frierender Geflüchteter an der Grenze zwischen Polen und Belarus. Seine Worte machen deutlich, was oft in Vergessenheit gerät: Grenzen sind nicht nur Hindernisse für Menschen, die sie von außerhalb überwinden wollen. Sie verändern auch die Gesellschaften, die sich abzuschotten versuchen.Volker M. Heins und Frank Wolff zeigen, welche Wirkung Mauern und die Abwehr von Migration »nach innen« entfalten: Das Drängen der EU auf »sichere Außengrenzen« untergräbt das europäische Versprechen auf Frieden und Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Letztendlich gefährden befestigte Grenzen gerade jene demokratischen Werte und Strukturen, die sie zu schützen vorgeben.

        Experiments in cultural criticism

        by Jackie Stacey, Janet Wolff

        Writing otherwise is a collection of essays by established feminist and cultural critics interested in experimenting with new styles of expression.

Aimed at both general and academic readers interested in how scholarly writing might be more innovative and creative, this collection introduces the personal, the poetic and the experimental into the frame of cultural criticism. This collection of essays is highly interdisciplinary and contributes to debates in sociology, history, anthropology, art history, cultural and media studies and gender studies. ;

        Kurt Wolff im Kontext

        by Raimund Fellinger

        Kurt Wolff begründete im Jahre 1913 die legendäre Reihe »Der Jüngste Tag«: In ihr erschienen die ersten Bücher von Franz Kafka, Robert Walser und anderen. Welchen Antrieben dieses Unternehmen sich verdankt, wie deren Vermarktung im Umfeld von billigen Büchern geschah, beleuchtet der vorliegende Band. Sein Ausgangspunkt: Sind bestimmte Reihen und deren Verleger an literarische Strömungen gebunden, im Fall des Kurt Wolff Verlags an den Expressionismus? Diese Frage wird im Kontext der Situation auf dem literarischen Markt in Deutschland in der ersten Jahrhunderthälfte diskutiert – und beantwortet in einem Vergleich zwischen dem »Jüngsten Tag« und der »Insel-Bücherei«, dem Kurt Wolff Verlag und dem Insel Verlag.

        Porous boundaries

        Art and essays

        by Edited by David Peters Corbett, Cyril Reade

        This innovative and exciting volume celebrates the career of Janet Wolff: a highly influential voice in the literature of sociology, cultural studies, visual studies and art history, as well as dance and modernism for several decades. Her work has significantly contributed to the way we view issues as diverse as modernism, the flâneur, British and American art in the early twentieth century, and the gendered literature of modernity. The volume contains contributions from a number of Janet Wolff's collaborators and others who are associated with the fields in which she has worked, including Zygmunt Bauman, Walid Raad and Griselda Pollock. The book includes original artworks, memoir and essays inspired by her example and which deal with questions she has discussed. The book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in any of these disciplines, as well as those interested by the form of a transatlantic academic career.

        Mary Kelly

        Projects, 1973–2010

        by Edited by Dominique Heyes-Moore

        Mary Kelly, we are told, was not a feminist artist, but a feminist who made art. Designed to accompany a major retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, this book contains essays and interviews which show the implications of that distinction and also the legacy of feminists and feminism in relation to art. Challenging and beautiful, Kelly's artworks address questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. The works are agilely discussed in contributions by some of the luminary feminist art scholars of our time, including Janet Wolff, Laura Mulvey, Carol Mavor and Amelia Jones, making this collection an essential new text in the discourse on art, feminism, psychoanalysis and representation.

        The invisible flâneuse?

        Gender, public space and visual culture in nineteenth century Paris

        by Edited by Aruna D'Souza and Tom McDonough

        This collection of essays revisits gender and urban modernity in nineteenth-century Paris in the wake of changes to the fabric of the city and social life. In rethinking the figure of the flâneur, the contributors apply the most current thinking in literature and urban studies to an examination of visual culture of the period, including painting, caricature, illustrated magazines, and posters. Using a variety of approaches, the collection re-examines the long-held belief that life in Paris was divided according to strict gender norms, with men free to roam in public space while women were restricted to the privacy of the domestic sphere. Framed by essays by Janet Wolff and Linda Nochlin - two scholars whose work has been central to the investigation of gender and representation in the nineteenth century - this collection brings together new methods of looking at visual culture with a more nuanced way of picturing city life.
