May 1998Die Geschäfte des Herrn Julius Caesar
Romanfragment
by Bertolt Brecht
»Die Dialektik des ›Caesar‹-Romans äußert sich darin«, schreibt Hans Mayer, »daß die verklärende Geschichtsschreibung des nachgeborenen Historikers bei der Quellensuche immer unangenehmer beeinträchtigt wird durch die Beichte von Caesars Bankier und die Aufzeichnungen des Hausverwalters Rarus. Die Apologetik wird mit Ökonomik kontrastiert. Das Abenteuer Caesar spiegelt sich im Kalkül des mächtigen Bankiers ebenso wie in den häuslichen Miseren und Transaktionen des Generals, Politikers, Schriftstellers.«

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2019Julius Caesar
by Jim Bulman, Andrew Hartley, Carol Chillington Rutter
Julius Caesar presents a performance history of a controversial play, moving from its 1599 opening all the way into the new millennium with particular emphasis on its twentieth- and twenty-first-century incarnations on stage and screen. The book tracks the play's evolution from being a play about the oratorical skill of noble Romans to its recent manifestations as a dark political thriller. Chapters in this theoretically savvy and global study consider productions such as Orson Welles's groundbreaking examination of European Fascism, Joseph Mankeiwicz's Oscar winning 1953 film, politically complex productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and shows from around the world which interrogate their own cultural and educational context as well as pressing contemporary concerns such as the reach of mass media.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2022The False One
By John Fletcher and Philip Massinger
by Domenico Lovascio
Advertised in its Prologue as a prequel to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, Fletcher and Massinger's The False One is the first literary work completely to revolve around the affair between Caesar and Cleopatra. In its deployment of their liaison as a venue for the exploration and criticism of contemporary political manoeuvring and its high-spirited and pungent appropriation of Roman history, the play proves to be one of the most compelling Jacobean dramatizations of the classical past. This Revels Plays edition offers the first fully annotated, single-volume critical edition of The False One, with a thorough introduction that provides new insights on the date and the theatre of the play's first performance, examines the playwrights' reworking of their sources and explores the theatrical potential of a play that has hitherto regrettably been lost to the dramatic repertory.

December 2003Marx' Gespenster
Der verschuldete Staat, die Trauerarbeit und die neue Internationale
by Jacques Derrida, Susanne Lüdemann
Jacques Derridas Auseinandersetzung mit der Theorie von Marx und ihrem Erbe gehört zu den meistdiskutierten philosophischen Texten der Gegenwart. Hier geht es um nichts Geringeres als um das Erbe des Marxismus, um Marx' Testament, um seine Vergangenheit und seine Gegenwart. Marx' Gespenster eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf die Philosophie von Marx. »Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa«, so könnte man beginnen und zugleich seine gespenstische Gegenwart konstatieren. »Es gilt, auf magische Weise ein Gespenst auszutreiben, die mögliche Rückkehr einer Macht zu bannen, die für böse an sich gehalten wird und deren dämonische Drohung fortfährt, das Jahrhundert heimzusuchen.«

May 2011Für Marx
by Louis Althusser, Frieder Otto Wolf, Gabriele Sprigath, Karin Brachmann, Frieder Otto Wolf
Louis Althusser Gesammelte Schriften Band 3 Herausgegeben von Frieder Otto Wolf in den Verlagen Westfälisches Dampfboot, VSA und Suhrkamp Louis Althussers 1965 in Frankreich erschienener Band Pour Marx (dt. Für Marx, 1968 im Suhrkamp Verlag) revolutionierte die linke Theorie. Althusser brach mit dem ökonomischen Determinismus seiner Zeit und analysierte kapitalistische Herrschaft als ein Verhältnis, in das auch die Unterdrückten verstrickt sind. Seine Gedanken zur Überdeterminierung, sowie spätere zur »Anrufung« des Subjekts, zu den »Ideologischen Staatsapparaten« und zur Philosophie als »Klassenkampf in der Theorie« sind unter anderem von Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, Chantal Mouffe und Antonio Negri aufgegriffen und fortgeführt worden. Sämtliche Beiträge der französischen Ausgabe sind hier erstmals gesammelt auf deutsch, in durchgesehenen und teilweise neuen Übersetzungen verfügbar, versehen mit einem ausführlichen Nachwort. Louis Althusser (1918-1990) war einer der einflussreichsten marxistischen Theoretiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er war Lehrer von Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Nicos Poulantzas, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Jacques Rancière und Étienne Balibar.

Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism
Political ecology, power and the crisis of legitimacy
by Maria Gloria Polimeno
Egypt and the rise of fluid authoritarianism focuses on the struggle of the post-2013 political authorities for internal political legitimacy after the crisis following the 2013 coup d'état. It explores the microstructural and macro-systemic dynamics of leadership, power, protests and the authority-making process in political systems. These cannot simply be defined as structural, political, social and economic projections of the authoritarianism of the past, but rather as a rupture with that past. The book offers a complex, ground-breaking socio-political and economic analysis into how the forging of an internal political legitimacy claim has eventually modified the regime in Egypt along the authoritarian spectrum, turning into a fluid autocracy closer to a non-exclusivist personalist regime. This shift had implications that resonated both politically and economically.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013Tyrants of Sicily by Hugo Falcandus
by Graham Loud, Thomas Wiedemann
This book is our principal source for the history of the Kingdom of Sicily in the troubled years between the death of its founder, King Roger, in February 1154 and the spring of 1169. It covers the reign of Roger's son, King William I, known to later centuries as 'the Bad', and the minority of the latter's son, William II 'the Good'. The book illustrates the revival of classical learning during the twelfth-century renaissance. It presents a vivid and compelling picture of royal tyranny, rebellion and factional dispute at court. Sicily had historically been ruled by tyrants, and that the rule of the new Norman kings could be seen, for a variety of reasons, as a revival of that classical tyranny. A more balanced view of Sicilian history of the period 1153-1169 has been provided as an appendix to the translation in the section of the contemporary world chronicle ascribed to Archbishop Romuald II of Salerno, who died in April 1181. In particular the chronicle of Romuald enables us to see how the papal schism of 1159 and the simultaneous dispute between the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the north Italian cities affected the destiny of the kingdom of Sicily. In contrast to the shadowy figure of Hugo Falcandus, the putative author of the principal narrative of mid-twelfth-century Sicilian history, Romuald II, Archbishop of Salerno 1153-1181, is well-documented.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2024The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia
Engaging in everyday struggle
by Alexandrina Vanke
Despite the intense processes of deindustrialisation around the world, the working class continues to play an important role in post-industrial societies. However, working-class people are often stigmatised, morally judged and depicted negatively in dominant discourses. This book challenges stereotypical representations of workers, building on research into the everyday worlds of working-class and ordinary people in Russia's post-industrial cities. The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia is centred on the stories of local communities engaged in the everyday struggles that occur in deindustrialising settings under neoliberal neo-authoritarianism. The book suggests a novel approach to everyday life in post-industrial cities. Drawing on an ethnographic study with elements of arts-based research, the book presents a new genre of writing about workers influenced by the avant-garde documentary tradition and working-class literature.
