Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2020Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries
by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin
This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

Queer cinema in contemporary France
Five directors
by Todd Reeser
Jacques Martineau, Olivier Ducastel, Alain Guiraudie, Sébastien Lifshitz and Céline Sciamma. The films of these five major French directors exemplify queer cinema in the twenty-first century. Comprehensive in scope, Queer cinema in contemporary France traces the development of the meaning of queer across these directors' careers, from their earliest, often unknown films to their later, major films with wide international release. Whether having sex on the beach or kissing in the high school swimming pool, these cinematic characters create or embody forward-looking, open-ended and optimistic forms of queerness and modes of living, loving and desiring. Whether they are white, beur or black, whether they are lesbian, gay, trans* or queer, they open up hetero- and cisnormativity to new ways of being a gendered subject.

The ArtsOctober 2006William Holman Hunt
Painter, painting, paint
by Carol Jacobi
This is a fundamental reassessment of the work of William Holman Hunt, and the first critical text to reproduce his pictures in colour and set him on an international stage. Introducing a new critique of the autobiography and drawing on hundreds of private letters, drawings and paintings, the author depicts a radical man of his times, deeply troubled by the pivotal concerns of the materialist age - the isolation of the individual, the collapse of faith and the status of art - and seeking solutions through a systematic testing of the extremes of painting. A close examination of the pictures, including neglected later works, combined with recent scientific research relate the physical act of painting, and the paint, back to the body of the artist. Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, this book answers the longstanding lack of any monograph on Hunt and will make compelling reading for undergraduate and graduate students of History of Art, Victorian Studies, English Literature and Religious Studies, as well as curators, conservators and the artist's many admirers. ;

December 2019Betrachtungen zur Schwulenfrage
by Didier Eribon, Achim Russer, Bernd Schwibs
Als Didier Eribons Betrachtungen zur Schwulenfrage 1999 in Frankreich erschienen, wurde das als Ereignis gefeiert. Schnell etabliert sich das Buch als Klassiker und Gründungsdokument der Queer Studies. Eribon legt darin eine neue Analyse der Bildung von Minderheitenidentitäten vor, an deren Anfang die Beleidigung steht. Es geht um die Macht der Sprache und der Stigmatisierung, um die Gewalt verletzender Worte im Rahmen einer allgemeinen Theorie der Gesellschaft und der Mechanismen ihrer Reproduktion. Nun liegt das Werk erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Eribons Analyse setzt ein mit einer fulminanten »Sozialanthropologie« der gelebten Erfahrung, in der zentrale Etappen der Konstitution einer homosexuellen Identität nachgezeichnet werden. Auf sie folgt eine historische Rekonstruktion der literarischen und intellektuellen Dissidenz sowie der »homosexuellen« Rede – von den Oxforder Hellenisten in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts über Oscar Wilde und Marcel Proust bis zu André Gide im 20. Jahrhundert. Die Untersuchung mündet in einer Neuinterpretation von Michel Foucaults philosophischem Denken über Sexualität, Macht und Widerstand. In der brillanten Verknüpfung von Soziologie, Literatur und Philosophie bietet dieses große Buch mehr denn je Werkzeuge für all jene, die über Differenz und Emanzipation nachdenken wollen.

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.
