October 2018Von Männern und ihren Katzen
Die größten Katzenliebhaber der Geschichte
by Sam Kalda, Kirsten Riesselmann
Der beste Freund des Mannes ist der Hund. Von wegen! In seinem stilsicher wie liebevoll illustrierten Buch widmet sich Sam Kalda den großen »Katzenmännern« der Geschichte und beweist, dass den bedeutendsten Denkern, Erfindern, Künstlern und Schriftstellern unserer Zeit keineswegs imposante Vierbeiner beiseite standen, sondern filigrane Katzengeschöpfe. Hemingway, der für seinen Jagdinstinkt – in tierischen wie in libidinösen Gefilden – und seinen exzessiven Alkoholkonsum berüchtigt war, legte eine erstaunliche Zuneigung zu Katzen an den Tag, zärtlich nannte er sie seine »Schnurr-Fabriken«. Nikola Tesla wurde angeblich zum Nachdenken über Elektrizität inspiriert, als er seine Katze Macak streichelte und einen Schlag abbekam. Und als fanatischster Katzenliebhaber wird vermutlich Karl Lagerfeld in die Geschichte eingehen, dessen weißes Siamkätzchen Choupette nicht nur für Chanel modelt, sondern auch einen Twitter-Account, zwei Nannys und eigenes Designergeschirr besitzt. Von Männern und ihren Katzen ist eine längst überfällige und charmante Hommage an die größten Katzenliebhaber aller Zeiten.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureJune 2024Round our way
Sam Hanna's visual legacy
by Heather Nicholson
Sam Hanna (1903-96), a pioneering filmmaker from Burnley, Lancashire, was dubbed the 'Lowry of filmmaking' by BBC broadcaster Brian Redhead in the 1980s. The well-meant label stuck, even though it misses the variety of Hanna's remarkable output. Hanna's intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers enable us to imagine the possible stories that lie behind the images. Away from mid-century exponents of documentary filmmaking and photography, Hanna shows us humanity and a microcosm of a world in change, where his subjects are caught up in issues far beyond their grasp that we, as onlookers years later, encounter and see afresh. Written and curated by historian Heather Norris Nicholson, Round our way combines stills, essays and archive photography to document Hanna's unique visual record on film, particularly in northern England, but also further afield, during decades of profound change.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2023In 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.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2023Who governs Britain?
Trade unions, the Conservative Party and the failure of the Industrial Relations Act 1971
by Sam Warner
Providing fresh insights from the archival record, Who governs Britain? revisits the 1970-74 Conservative government to explain why the Party tried - and failed - to reform the system of industrial relations. Designed to tackle Britain's strike problem and perceived disorder in collective bargaining, the Industrial Relations Act 1971 established a formal legal framework to counteract trade union power. As the state attempted to disengage from and 'depoliticise' collective bargaining practices, trade union leaders and employers were instructed to discipline industry. In just three-and-a-half years, the Act contributed to a crisis of the British state as industrial unrest engulfed industry and risked undermining the rule of law. Warner explores the power dynamics, strategic errors and industrial battles that destroyed this attempt to tame trade unions and ultimately brought down a government, and that shape Conservative attitudes towards trade unions to this day.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2024The Legacy of John Polidori
The Romantic Vampire and its Progeny
by Sam George, Bill Hughes
John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.
