Ein Leben ist nicht genug
Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Briefe
by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander, Fred Wander
»Ein Leben reicht nicht aus, alle guten Bücher zu lesen, alle Menschen kennenzulernen, alle Länder, die ich sehen möchte.« Maxie Wanders Aufzeichnungen aus den Jahren 1964 bis 1968 beeindrucken: Ob sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann durch die französische Metropole streift, in billigen Hotels wohnt und das »berühmte Pariser Licht« entdeckt oder sich mit den alltäglichen Aufgaben zu Hause, mit den Kindern, den vielen Freunden, der eigenen Arbeit befaßt – ihr Thema ist die »Suche nach einer neuen Art zu leben, anders zu leben, aufrichtig und schöpferisch zu leben«, wie es im Vorwort von Fred Wander heißt. Maxie Wanders Briefe und Tagebuchnotizen zeichnen das Bild einer klugen, neugierigen, impulsiven Frau, die das Leben mit Leidenschaft betrieb.

Zur Sozialphysionomik des Alltagslebens. Eine Auswahl aus dem journalistischen Schriften. Mit einem Nachwort herausgegeben von Wolfgang Drost und Karl Riha
by Honoré Balzac, Karl Riha, Wolfgang Drost, W. Fred, Wolfgang Drost
Parallel zu seinem Romanschaffen – auf dieses in vielfacher Hinsicht beziehbar – hat Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) immer wieder im engeren Sinne journalistisch gearbeitet, etwa zu Beginn seiner literarischen Laufbahn, nach 1830, wo wir ihn als Mitarbeiter der durch Philipon gegründeten Zeitschrift ›La Caricature‹ finden, mit der die großen französischen Karikaturisten Daumier, Gavarni, Grandville etc. hervortreten, oder nach 1840, als er mit der von ihm gegründeten ›Revue Parisienne‹ selbst als Zeitschriftengründer auftritt. Diese Arbeiten stehen in engem Zusammenhang mit den ›literarischen Gebrauchsformen‹ der Zeit, speziell mit der satirischen Essayistik – zum Beispiel in der Art der ›Physiologien-Literatur‹. Dabei entsteht ein enger Konnex zwischen sozialpsychologisch genauer Erfassung der Gesellschaft in ihren unterschiedlichen Ständen, Schichten und Klassen und satirisch-karikaturistischer Darstellung mit allen Mitteln des Witzes und Humors. Wir bringen – mit karikaturistischen Illustrationen der Zeit – eine Auswahl aus den journalistischen Arbeiten Balzacs nach einer deutschen Ausgabe, die zu Beginn unseres Jahrhunderts W. Fred besorgte.

Inventing the cave man
From Darwin to the Flintstones
by Andrew Horrall, Jeffrey Richards
Fred Flintstone lived in a sunny Stone Age American suburb, but his ancestors were respectable, middle-class Victorians. They were very amused to think that prehistory was an archaic version of their own world because it suggested that British ideals were eternal. In the 1850s, our prehistoric ancestors were portrayed in satirical cartoons, songs, sketches and plays as ape-like, reflecting the threat posed by evolutionary ideas. By the end of the century, recognisably human cave men inhabited a Stone Age version of late-imperial Britain, sending-up its ideals and institutions. Cave men appeared constantly in parades, civic pageants and costume parties. In the early 1900s American cartoonists and early Hollywood stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton adopted and reimagined this very British character, cementing it in global popular culture. Cave men are an appealing way to explore and understand Victorian and Edwardian Britain.

Der Geist der Tiere
Philosophische Texte zu einer aktuellen Diskussion
by Dominik Perler, Markus Wild
Sind Tiere Lebewesen mit einem Geist? Denken sie? Haben sie Bewusstsein? Was unterscheidet den Menschen vom Tier? In der gegenwärtigen Philosophie des Geistes existiert eine Reihe von Ansätzen, die solche Fragen aufgreifen, sie aus unterschiedlichen methodischen Perspektiven erörtern und zu kontroversen Antworten gelangen. Der vorliegende Band macht wichtige Beiträge zu dieser Diskussion erstmals auf Deutsch zugänglich und enthält Beiträge u. a. von Donald Davidson, Daniel C. Dennett, Fred Dretske, Ruth G. Millikan, David Papineau und John R. Searle. Eine ausführliche Einleitung ordnet die Diskussion sowohl systematisch als auch historisch ein und unterstreicht ihren Stellenwert in den aktuellen Debatten innerhalb der Philosophie des Geistes.
