Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2006History matters
Patriarchy and the challenge of Feminism
by Judith Bennett
Written for everyone interested in women's and gender history, History matters reaffirms the importance to feminist theory and activism of long-term historical perspectives. Judith M. Bennett takes as her central problem the growing chasm between feminism and history which, although closely allied in the 1970s, have now moved away from one another. Seeking to narrow this gap, Bennett proposes that feminist historians turn their attention to the intellectual challenges posed by the persistence of patriarchy. She posits a 'patriarchal equilibrium' whereby, despite many changes in women's experiences over past centuries, women's status vis-à-vis men has remained remarkably unchanged. Bennett argues that the theoretical challenge posed by this 'patriarchal equilibrium' will be best met by long-term historical perspectives that reach back well before the modern era. A new manifesto, History matters engages forthrightly with the challenges faced by feminist historians today. It argues for the radical potential of a history that is focused on feminist issues, aware of the distant past, attentive to continuities over time, and alert to the workings of patriarchal power. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2009The silence of Barbara Synge
by Bill McCormack
'The silence of Barbara Synge' provides a fascinating companion volume to Bill McCormack's acclaimed 'Fool of the family' (2000), a biography of the playwright J.M. Synge (1871-1909). Taking the alledged death of Mrs John Hatch (née Synge) in 1767 as a focal point, this book explores the varied strands of the Synge family tree in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland. Key events in the family's history are carefully documented, including a suicide in 1769 which is echoed in an early Synge play, the effects of the famine which influenced 'The playboy of the western world' in 1907, and the behaviour of Francis Synge at the time of the union. 'The silence of Barbara Synge' is a unique work of cultural enquiry, combining archival research, literary criticism, and religious and medical history to pull the strands together and relate them to the family's literary descendent J.M. Synge. ;

August 2023Taschenatlas der abgelegenen Inseln
Fünfundfünfzig Inseln, auf denen ich nie war und niemals sein werde
by Judith Schalansky
Als Judith Schalanskys Atlas 2009 erschien, herrschte zwar allgemeine Verzückung über Idee, Konzept und Gestaltung: fünfzig entlegene Inseln – von Tristan da Cunha bis zum Clipperton-Atoll, von der Weihnachts- bis zur Osterinsel – nach Ozeanen geordnet, kunstvoll illustriert und mit je einer absurd-abgründigen Geschichte, die von historischen Begebenheiten und naturwissenschaftlichen Berichten inspiriert ist. Niemand konnte jedoch ahnen, dass der Atlas nicht nur zum internationalen Bestseller und mit diversen Preisen ausgezeichneten Designobjekt werden, sondern ein regelrechtes Zeitalter der »poetischen Atlanten« einläuten und weltweit unzählige Nachahmer finden würde. Und nie war so aktuell wie heute, was dieses Buch beweist: dass die abenteuerlichsten Reisen im Kopf stattfinden, mit dem Finger auf der Landkarte. Die erweiterte Erfolgsausgabe von 2021 mit neuem Vorwort und fünf neuen Inseln wird hier in einer schön gestalteten, gebundenen Taschenbuchausgabe vorgelegt.

September 2021Die Regentrude
Gestaltet, illustriert und mit einem Nachwort von Judith Schalansky
by Theodor Storm, Judith Schalansky, Judith Schalansky
Es herrscht eine solche sengende Glut in jenen Tagen, dass alle Saat verdorrt, das Vieh verdurstet und die Dorfleute gezwungen sind, ihr Land dem Wiesenbauern zu verpfänden, der als Einziger eine tiefgelegene, feuchte Wiese besitzt. Wenn Mutter Stine sich doch nur an das Sprüchlein erinnern könnte, mit dem sich die Regentrude wecken ließ! In seinem Kunstmärchen erzählt Theodor Storm von einer entzweiten Welt: Das zerstörerische Wirken des Feuermanns steht gegen die lebensspendende Kraft der Regentrude, das kurzsichtige Kalkül des schnellen Gewinns gegen das hellsichtige Wissen um die Natur als Seinsgrund aller Existenz. Wie lehrreich und aktuell diese Geschichte ist, lässt sich in dieser von Judith Schalansky gestalteten Ausgabe des norddeutschen Märchens aufs Schönste und Erschreckendste erfahren.

Children's & YA2009Strange book
by Alexander Asatiani
All books have either writing, pictures or both in it, but the book that Ellen got as a gift has neither. It does, however, have extraordinary recording powers. Like in so many of Sandro’s stories, in The Strange Book it is completely natural for dreams to merge with reality. Through the matter-of-fact occurrence of unlikely events, The Strange Book tells a story of growing up without abandoning the inner child.

October 2011Blau steht dir nicht
Matrosenroman
by Judith Schalansky
»Blau steht dir nicht«, sagt die Großmutter, und auch der Großvater rät vom Matrosinnenberuf ab. Dabei ist es Jennys größter Traum: »Sie sah sich auf einem Schiff, umringt von singenden Matrosen. Sie hatte ihren blauen Anzug an, bis die Matrosen ihr ein blaues Hemd überzogen, wie sie es trugen. Es war viel zu groß, aber alle betonten, wie gut es ihr stehen würde.« Eine Kindheit am Meer. Eine Sehnsucht nach Freiheit. In ihrem eindrücklichen Debüt erzählt Judith Schalansky vom Aufwachsen an der Ostseeküste der DDR, von unbändigem Freiheitsdrang und dem Drang, die ganze Welt zu bereisen.
