        Bedsit land

        The strange worlds of Soft Cell

        by Patrick Clarke

        A rich and revealing examination of the legendary pop duo Soft Cell. Soft Cell are not your average pop band. Marc Almond and Dave Ball may be best known for the string of hits they released in 1981, but the powerful first phase of their collaboration embraced a staggering array of sounds, influences and innovations that would change the face of music to come. In Bedsit land, Patrick Clarke plunges into the archives and interviews more than sixty contributors, including the band members themselves, to follow Soft Cell through the many strange and sprawling worlds that shaped their extraordinary career. They lead him from the faded camp glamour of the British seaside to the dizzying thrills of the New York club scene. From transgressive student performance art to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho. From the glitz of British showbiz to the drug-addled chaos of post-Franco Spain. He emerges on the other side with the most in-depth, innovative and entertaining account of the duo ever written.

        Samuel Beckett

        Eine Biographie

        by James Knowlson, Wolfgang Held, James Knowlson

        Als Samuel Beckett, einer der innovativsten und einflußreichsten Autoren des 20.Jahrhunderts, 1989 starb, war er weltberühmt. Spät – erst mit der Pariser Uraufführung von En attendant Godot 1953 – richteten sich die Scheinwerfer auf den öffentlichkeitsscheuen Autor.Beckett, 1906 geboren, studierte in Dublin und in Paris, wo er sich James Joyce anschloß. Ein erster Band mit Erzählungen erschien 1934. Drei Jahre später verließ er Irland für immer und zog nach Paris, aus dem ihn die deutsche Besatzung vorübergehend vertrieb. Verlage wagten sich an seine Bücher kaum heran – bis der Erfolg des Godot diesen und den materiellen Schwierigkeiten ein Ende bereitete. Jedoch um sein Schreiben, um eine Verfassung, die ihm das Schreiben überhaupt erlaubte, hat Beckett ein Leben lang gerungen.James Knowlson, der das Beckett-Archiv in Reading aufbaute, hat Becketts Werk mehr als dreißig Jahre erforscht. Mehr als zwanzig war er mit dem Autor befreundet. Ein halbes Jahr vor seinem Tod autorisierte Beckett Knowlsons Biographieprojekt: Er »ist der, der mein Werk am besten kennt«. Auch zu Becketts Leben förderte Knowlson viel Unbekanntes ans Licht. So erhielt er als erster Zugang zu den aufregenden Tagebüchern von Becketts Deutschlandreise 1936/37. Mit seinen umfassenden Kenntnissen kann er zeigen, wie auch Becketts spätere Werke, die biographische Anspielungen eher vermeiden, in Leben und Denken des Autors verwurzelt sind.Fünf Jahre nach der englischen Erstveröffentlichung erscheint James Knowlsons große, definitive Biographie Samuel Becketts im Suhrkamp Verlag, der das Werk des irischen Nobelpreisträgers seit einem halben Jahrhundert deutsch in vielen (oft zwei- und dreisprachigen) Ausgaben

        The souls of white folk

        White settlers in Kenya, 1900s–1920s

        by Brett Shadle, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        Kenya's white settlers have been alternately celebrated and condemned, painted as romantic pioneers or hedonistic bed-hoppers or crude racists. The souls of white folk examines settlers not as caricatures, but as people inhabiting a unique historical moment. It takes seriously - though not uncritically - what settlers said, how they viewed themselves and their world. It argues that the settler soul was composed of a series of interlaced ideas: settlers equated civilisation with a (hard to define) whiteness; they were emotionally enriched through claims to paternalism and trusteeship over Africans; they felt themselves constantly threatened by Africans, by the state, and by the moral failures of other settlers; and they daily enacted their claims to supremacy through rituals of prestige, deference, humiliation and violence. The souls of white folk will appeal to those interested in the histories of Africa, colonialism, and race, and can be appreciated by scholars and students alike.

        Samuel Beckett

        by Gaby Hartel, Carola Veit

        Er war ein Intellektueller mit einer gehörigen Portion Selbstironie, ein Autor, der die literarischen Konventionen aushebelte und sein berühmtestes Stück Warten auf Godot zur Entspannung schrieb: Samuel Beckett, irischer Nobelpreisträger, ist längst zur populären Ikone geworden, und seine Figuren sind überall zu finden – ob in der Literatur, im Film oder in der Werbung.

        by Chiaki Hanabusa

        Constitutions and political theory

        Second edition

        by Jan-Erik Lane

        Since constitutional arrangements are what make politics work, they are a central concern of political theory. This book, now completely updated, was the first comprehensive exploration of the political theory of constitutions. Jan-Erik Lane begins by examining the origins and history of constitutionalism and answers key questions such as: what is a constitution? Why are there constitutions? From where does constitutionalism originate? How is the constitutional state related to democracy and justice? Constitutions play a major role in domestic and international politics in the early 21st century and an updated version of this classic textbook will introduce students to a number of different areas - theoretical, empirical and moral - which will aid their understanding of this important topic. ;

        Common Sense

        Addressed to The Inhabitants of America

        by Thomas Paine

        Published anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was a radical and impassioned call for America to free itself from British rule and set up an independent republican government. Savagely attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for his adopted country in which personal freedom and social equality would be upheld and economic and cultural progress encouraged.

        Weitermachen ist mehr, als ich tun kann

        Briefe 1929–1940

        by Samuel Beckett, Chris Hirte

        Die Briefe, die Samuel Beckett zwischen 1929 und 1940 in Irland, England, Frankreich und Deutschland geschrieben hat, vermitteln ein lebendiges und persönliches Bild jener Jahre und ermöglichen es, die allmähliche, tastende Herausbildung des ganz besonderen »Sensoriums« und der einzigartigen literarischen Stimme Becketts – gegen sein eigenes Zaudern, gegen Indifferenz und Ablehnung, die er erfuhr – zu verfolgen. Die auf vier Bände angelegte Ausgabe bietet zum ersten Mal eine umfassende Auswahl der Briefe einer der größten literarischen Figuren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Schreiben stammen aus den 60 Jahren, in denen Samuel Beckett als Autor aktiv war (1929–1989). Ausgewählt aus mehr als 15.000 erfaßten Briefen wurden Schreiben an Freunde, Maler und Musiker ebenso wie an Studenten, Verleger, Übersetzer und Kollegen in der literarischen und der Welt des Theaters. Sie werden begleitet von detaillierten Einführungen, Stellenkommentaren, Zeittafeln und Kurzporträts der wichtigsten Briefpartner. Die Briefe dokumentieren Samuel Becketts Entwicklung und sein vielfältiges Schaffen. Darüber hinaus lernen wir – lange nach der Veröffentlichung seiner Werke und viele Jahre nach James Knowlsons Biographie, die bereits aus Briefen zitiert – mit der ersten großen Briefausgabe den Jahrhundertautor noch einmal von einer neuen Seite und mit einem anderen Ton kennen: ebenso spannende wie aufschlußreiche Lektüre; eine Erfahrung sui generis.

        Henry V

        by James Loehlin

        This study examines the profound changes that twentieth-century performance has wrought on Shakespeare's complex drama of war and politics. What was accepted at the turn of the century as a patriotic celebration of a national hero has emerged in the modern theatre as a dark and troubling analysis of the causes and costs of war. The book details the theatrical innovations and political insights that have turned one of Shakespeare's most traditional-bound plays into one of his most popular and provocative. Henry V gives details analyses of several important modern productions. Beginning with a consideration of the play's political significance in Elizabethan London, the book goes on the reveal its subsequent reinvention, both as patriotic pageant and anti-war manifesto. Individual chapters consider important productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and other British and North American companies, as well as the landmark film versions. A compelling account of the theatrical revolution that has transformed one of Shakespeare's most challenging plays. ;

        Postcolonial African cinema

        Ten directors

        by David Murphy, Patrick Williams

        This is the first introduction of its kind to an important cross-section of postcolonial African filmmakers from the 1950s to the present. Building on previous critical work in the field, this volume will bring together ideas from a range of disciplines - film studies, African cultural studies, and, in particular, postcolonial studies - in order to combine the in-depth analysis of individual films and bodies of work by individual directors with a sustained interrogation of these films in relation to important theoretical concepts. Structurally, the book is straightforward, though the aim is to incorporate diversity and complexity of approach within the overall simplicity of format. Chapters provide both an overview of the director's output to date, and the necessary background - personal or national, cultural or political - to enable readers to achieve a better understanding of the director's choice of subject matter, aesthetic or formal strategies, or ideological stance. They also offer a particular reading of one or more films, in which the authors aim to situate African cinema in relation to important critical and theoretical debates. This book thus constitutes a new departure in African film studies, recognising the maturity of the field, and the need for complex yet accessible approaches to it, which move beyond the purely descriptive while refusing to get bogged down in theoretical jargon. Consequently, the volume should be of interest not only to specialists but also to the general reader.
