Alexander Kluges Erzählung Luftangriff auf Halberstadt am 8. April 1945 erschien 1977. Genau zwanzig Jahre später wurde sie zu einem der wichtigsten Bezugspunkte jener Diskussion, die den Luftangriff auf deutsche Städte und ihre Zivilbevölkerung aus der Rolle des Anathemas befreite. Völlig vorläuferlos war eine solche literarische Gestaltung des Luftkriegs und seiner Auswirkungen nicht, doch gab erstmals Kluge – nach Hans Erich Nossacks melancholischem Bericht über den Untergang Hamburgs und Gert Ledigs furios-desillusionistischer Vergeltung – eine analytisch-kühle Darstellung des Zerstörungswerks und sondierte inmitten des Infernos jenen Rest an Selbstbehauptung und Rationalität, der noch die Zusammenhänge der Katastrophe als verständlich und künftige Auswege als möglich erscheinen ließ. »Gerade Kluges detaillierte Beschreibung der gesellschaftlichen Organisation des Unglücks beinhaltet die Konjektur, daß ein richtiges Verständnis der von uns in einem fort inszenierten Katastrophen die erste Voraussetzung darstellt für die gesellschaftliche Organisation des Glücks.« (W. G. Sebald) Aus dem zeitlichen Abstand von 30 Jahren beleuchtet Alexander Kluge mit einigen neueren Texten nochmals die Erzählung von 1977. Sebalds Würdigung dieses Textes wird der Neuausgabe beigegeben.
How should we as Britons remember transatlantic slavery? How has slavery been remembered in the past? 'Chords of freedom' sets out to answer these questions and, in doing so, traces the way in which British transatlantic slavery has been absorbed into the nation's collective memory. By combining two current historiographical preoccupations - the construction of public memory and British transatlantic slavery - this fascinating book focuses on the way in which the British traditionally have been taught to view transatlantic slavery through the moral triumph of abolition. The author traces the construction of this national history through a number of case studies, including visual images, literary memorials (the competing accounts of the anti-slavery movement produced by Thomas Clarkson and Robert and Samuel Wilberforce), monument-memorials, galleries and museums, and commemorative rituals from the nineteenth century to the present day. A separate chapter also considers how Britain's example in abolishing first the slave trade (1807) and then colonial slavery (1833-34) impacted on the rituals of the American anti-slavery movement, and served as a convenient symbol of the potential of freedom in the British West Indies. 'Chords of freedom' offers valuable new insights into the way in which a 'culture of abolition' took root in Britain, and how our views of transatlantic slavery and figures like William Wilberforce have been revised and amended to reflect the changing demands of a series of 'present days'. Its cross-disciplinary approach will appeal to a broad spectrum of specialists, as well as to undergraduates and postgraduates. ;
Poplars and willows form an important component of forestry and agricultural systems, providing a wide range of wood and non-wood products. This book synthesizes research on poplars and willows, providing a practical worldwide overview and guide to their basic characteristics, cultivation and use, issues, problems and trends. Prominence is given to environmental benefits and the importance of poplar and willow cultivation in meeting the needs of people and communities, sustainable livelihoods, land use and development.
There have been major developments in the field of plant-microbe interactions in recent years, due to newly developed techniques and the availability of genomic information. Molecular Plant-microbe Interactions explores these new discoveries, focusing primarily on the mechanisms controlling plant disease resistance, the cross-talk among the pathways involved and the strategies used by the pathogens to suppress these defences. By exploring developments in plant defences, pathogen's counter-defences and mutually beneficial plant-microbe interactions, this book will be useful for researchers and students in plant pathology and plant biology-related areas.
