Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2009Edwin Morgan
Inventions of modernity
by Colin Nicholson
Edwin Morgan is Scotland's major living poet, and Inventions of modernity was the first book-length study of his work. Since the 1940s Morgan's poetry has been carving out an alternative to the conventional evolutions from Modernism to Postmodernism, creating instead a substantial body of writing that ranges from the sublime to the hilarious. Instinctively at odds with the literary politics of the Pound-Eliot axis that remained influential deep into the twentieth century, Morgan develops instead a radical and libertarian poetics in an encyclopaedia of forms; from Anglo-Saxon metre through sonnet-sequences to concrete poems, and including gay poetry, science fiction verse and prize-winning translations into both English and Scots from numerous languages. This authoritative volume is of interest to students, teachers and academic researchers involved with strategies of reading, with cultural studies, with the politics of literary history and with gay and transgressive writing. ;

It contains many new terms, species names, acronyms and abbreviations to account for the great changes which have taken place in Russian forestry in terms of mechanization, woodworking technology, forest management and economics, environmental pollution and conservation. A list of the botanical names of trees and shrubs, with their Russian and English equivalents has also been included.The book has been compiled by Dr William Linnard, former Assistant Director of the Commonwealth Forestry Bureau, with over forty years’ experience of abstracting and translating forestry literature and David Darrah-Morgan, M.A. (Translation), a full-time translator, specializing in forestry and related fields.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 1999Bussy D'Ambois
By George Chapman
by N. S. Brooke
Revels stuff. . . .|This Edition of George Chapman's tragedy differs from all other modern editions in being primarily based on the Quarto of 1607 in preference to the much revised Quarto of 1641. N. S. Brooke believes that the earlier text gives a more certain indication of Chapman's intentions and he has supported this view in an introduction and by a bibliographical and critical study of the play. The divergence between the texts of 1607 and 1641 are set out clearly in this volume, which includes the usual textual and critical apparatus found in the Revels series. ;

Pasticcio opera in Britain
History and context
by Peter Morgan Barnes
This study overturns twentieth-century thinking about pasticcio opera. This radical way of creating opera formed a counterweight, even a relief, to the trenchant masculinity of literate culture in the seventeenth century. It undermined the narrowing of nationalism in the eighteenth century, and was an act of gross sacrilege against the cult of Romantic genius in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, it found itself on the wrong side of copyright law. However, in the twenty-first century it is enjoying a tentative revival. This book redefines pasticcio as a method rather than a genre of opera and aligns it with other art forms which also created their works from pre-existing parts, including sculpture. A pasticcio opera is created from pre-existing music and text, thus flying in face of insistence on originality and creation by a solo genius.

March 2016The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema
Präsentiert von Slavoj Žižek
by Slavoj Žižek, Sophie Fiennes
Slavoj Žižek hat zwei große Leidenschaften: Das Kino und die Psychoanalyse. Was liegt da näher, als Hollywood – das Theater der Träume – auf die Couch zu legen? Für die Regisseurin Sophie Fiennes hat Žižek seine Lieblingsszenen aus etwa vierzig Klassikern (von Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch u. v. a.), ausgewählt, die er in diesem Film – oft an Originalschauplätzen – mit dem begrifflichen Instrumentarium von Freud und Lacan analysiert: Inwiefern korrespondiert die Architektur des Hauses von Norman Bates (»Psycho«) mit Freuds Strukturmodell der Psyche? Was hätte der Entdecker des Ödipus-Komplexes zu dem Konflikt zwischen Luke Skywalker und Darth Vader gesagt? Als »150-minütige Achterbahnfahrt durch die Geschichte von Kino und psychologischer Filmtheorie« bezeichnete die »Frankfurter Rundschau« Žižeks cineastischen Crashkurs, dem Philosophen selbst attestierte sie »beachtliches Starpotenzial.«

November 2019Das Adressbuch
by Sophie Calle, Sabine Erbrich
Sophie Calle findet ein Adressbuch und kopiert die Seiten daraus, bevor sie es anonym an den Besitzer, einen gewissen Pierre D., zurückgibt. Dann beginnt sie, zu denen, die in dem Buch verzeichnet sind, Kontakt aufzunehmen, sie trifft sich mit D.s Familie, Freunden, Bekannten, Affären.Mit jeder Begegnung wird Pierre D. plastischer und zugleich undurchdringlicher, Calles Recherche verkompliziert sich zusehends, während sie versucht, die schiere Vielzahl von Details – scheinbar Triviales wie potentiell Aufschlussreiches – zu dem bündigen Porträt eines Unbekannten zu fügen. Und im Lauf ihrer Nachforschungen hat Sophie Calle auch die eigenen Motive, Obsessionen und Ängste zu hinterfragen. Sophie Calle hat diese Begegnungen mit den Menschen aus D.s Adressbuch in Text und Bild dokumentiert, 1983 erschienen diese Dokumentationen einen Monat lang als Serie in der französischen Tageszeitung Libération. Und lösten einen handfesten Skandal aus, der bis heute nachhallt. Was interessiert uns an anderen? Und was verbirgt sich hinter unserem Interesse? Charakterstudie, Bekenntnis, Essay, Konzeptkunst – Sophie Calle unternimmt eine voyeuristische Abenteuerreise durch das Adressbuch eines Fremden und erfindet eine Form, in der Leben und Kunst, Rolle und Identität, Vertrautes und Unbekanntes ineinander zu oszillieren beginnen.
