June 2006Buddy Holly auf der Wilhelmshöhe
Drei Romane
by Wolfgang Welt
Aus kleinen Verhältnissen stammend und mit einem abgebrochenen Studium im Gepäck gerät Wolfgang Welt als Musikjournalist Anfang der achtziger Jahre in die Pop-Maschinerie. New Wave, Neue Deutsche Welle, Marabo, Sounds, Musik Express, Rockpalast, Herbert Grönemeyer, Dallas,Frauengeschichten, DJ-Dasein und immer wieder Buddy Holly sind Begleiterscheinungen einer kurzen, steilen Szenekarriere. Sie endet im Wahnsinn.Welt wird verhaftet und in die Psychiatrie gesteckt. Wieder halbwegs normal, schreibt er in großen Abständen drei autobiographische Romane, die hier vereint vorgelegt werden, der dritte als Erstveröffentlichung. 2002 erhält er ein Stipendium der Hermann- Lenz-Stiftung. Seit langen Jahren arbeitet er als Nachtportier im Schauspielhaus seiner Heimatstadt Bochum und hört regelmäßig WDR 4. Wolfgang Welt, geboren 1952 in Bochum, lebt dort (in seinem Elternhaus in der Bergarbeitersiedlung Wilhelmshöhe). Peggy Sue, erschienen zuerst 1986 im Konkret Literatur Verlag, kam 1997 erweitert und mit einem Vorwort von Leander Haußmann als Taschenbuch heraus. Der Tick wurde 2001 veröffentlicht. Der Tunnel am Ende des Lichts ist, wie gesagt, eine Erstveröffentlichung »Im ganzen: eine Version des Lebens, die man sich im Lesen nicht nur gefallen läßt, sondern die einen, schön holprig und schön schnittig, eine Zeitlang mitnimmt, und nicht bloß ins Ruhrgebiet.« Peter Handke

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2021Post-everything
An intellectual history of post-concepts
by Herman Paul, Adriaan van Veldhuizen
Postmodern, postcolonial and post-truth are broadly used terms. But where do they come from? When and why did the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms emerge? And who exactly were the 'post boys' responsible for this? Post-everything examines why post-Christian, post-industrial and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated, not only among academics, but also in the popular press. It delves into the historical roots of postmodern and poststructuralist, while also subjecting more recent post-constructions (posthumanist, postfeminist) to critical scrutiny. This study is the first to offer a comprehensive history of post-concepts. In tracing how these concepts found their way into a broad range of genres and disciplines, Post-everything contributes to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.

Children's & YAWoodwalkers & Friends (1). Fantastic Feline Friends
by Katja Brandis/Claudia Carls
You have never seen the Woodwalkers like this before: find out about the lives of the puma boy Carag and his shapeshifting friends outside the school walls. The young puma shapeshifter Carag is really looking forward to the school holidays. He’s going to visit the family of his girlfriend Tikaani for the first time, so that they can celebrate her birthday together. But before they can head for the far north, they are overtaken by events. First, two self-willed companions join them, and then Carag receives a call for help from his own puma family. A hostile wolf pack has taken over their old den close to Clearwater High. There is something not quite right about these wolves. As the situation becomes increasingly fiery, Carag and Tikaani know they can rely on help from Holly the chipmunk. But will the three of them be able to save the day?

The ArtsSeptember 2024The renewal of post-war Manchester
Planning, architecture and the state
by Richard Brook
A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.
