        Diese Liebe

        by Yann Andréa, Andrea Spingler

        Seine erste Begegnung mit der Duras ist eine mit ihren Büchern, allein schon ihr Name eine Faszination. Er schreibt ihr täglich Briefe, erst nach fünf Jahren antwortet sie. Im Sommer 1980 sucht er die Duras in Trouville auf und bleibt für immer. Er wird Yann Andréa, ihr Geliebter, Sekretär, Chauffeur und zuletzt auch ihr Krankenpfleger. Sieben Jahre nach dem Erscheinen von »Yann Andréa Steiner«, Duras᾿ lyrischem Text über die Geschichte ihrer Begegnung, schreibt Yann Andréa sein Gegenstück. Und erzählt schonungslos aus seiner Sicht die Beziehung zwischen dem 27jährigen suizidgefährdeten Studenten und der 66jährigen vereinsamten Schriftstellerin. Das mutige Buch gibt Einblicke in das unkonventionelle Leben eines symbiotischen Liebespaars, in die gegenseitigen Abhängigkeiten und Verletzungen, den Tod der Duras und die Zeit danach, in der sich Yann vom Leben zurückzieht. Die Fragen, die diese Romanbiographie über eine Liebe voller Unmöglichkeiten aufwirft, machen sie zur elektrisierenden Lektüre.

        Crossing borders and queering citizenship

        Civic reading practice in contemporary American and Canadian writing

        by Zalfa Feghali

        Can reading make us better citizens? In Crossing borders and queering citizenship, Feghali crafts a sophisticated theoretical framework to theorise how the act of reading can contribute to the queering of contemporary citizenship in North America. Providing sensitive and convincing readings of work by both popular and niche authors, including Gloria Anzaldúa, Dorothy Allison, Gregory Scofield, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Erín Moure, Junot Díaz, and Yann Martel, this book is the first to not only read these authors together, but also to discuss how each powerfully resists the exclusionary work of state-sanctioned citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. This book convincingly draws connections between queer theory, citizenship studies, and border studies and sheds light on how these connections can reframe our understanding of American Studies.

        Labour united and divided from the 1830s to the present

        by Emmanuelle Avril, Yann Béliard

        Spanning a period which stretches from the 19th century to the present day, this book takes a novel look at the British labour movement by examining the interaction between trade unions, the Labour Party, other parties and groups of the Left, and the wider working class, to highlight the dialectic nature of these relationships, marked by consensus and dissention. It shows that, although perceived as a source of weakness, those inner conflicts have also been a source of creative tension, at times generating significant breakthroughs. The book brings together labour historians and political scientists who provide a range of case studies as well as more wide-ranging assessments of recent trends in labour organising. It will therefore be of interest to academics and students of history and politics, as well as to practitioners, in the British Isles and beyond.
