The ArtsJanuary 2019Jean-Jacques Beineix
by Philip Powrie
This volume is the first to examine, in either French or English, the films of Jean-Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films, such as Diva and Betty Blue (37º 2 le matin) .. After an introduction which places Beineix in the context of the 1980s and the arguments centering on a postmodern cinema, the volume devotes a chapter to each of Beineix's feature films, including the film which marked his return to feature film making after a break of a decade, Mortel Transfert (2001). Prefaced by an excellent foreword by the director himself, which includes a broad condemnation of French critics. Includes many illustrations direct from the director's own collection, complementing the interviews Powrie made with him and his collaborators.

August 2012Demokratie?
Eine Debatte
by Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaïd, Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, Jean-Luc Nancy, Kristin Ross, Slavoj Zizek, Wendy Brown
Zu Beginn des dritten Jahrtausends ist die Situation der Demokratie paradox: Einerseits sind mehr Staaten denn jemals zuvor demokratisch verfaßt, andererseits nehmen die Krisensymptome in den Staaten, die einstmals so etwas wie eine demokratische Avantgarde bildeten, zu: Die Wahlbeteiligung sinkt, schillernde Persönlichkeiten wie Silvio Berlusconi oder Nicolas Sarkozy gewinnen an Bedeutung, Wahlkämpfe geraten zu schalen Marketingkampagnen. Colin Crouch hat all diese Trends in dem Band "Postdemokratie" präzise auf den Punkt gebracht. In diesem Band setzen sich nun acht herausragende politische Denkerinnen und Denker mit dem Zustand und den Perspektiven der am wenigsten schlechten aller Regierungsformen (Winston Churchill) auseinander, die tageszeitung sprach von einem 'Who's who der internationalen linken Theorie'. Der Diskussionsband enthält Beiträge von Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaïd, Wendy Brown, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Rancière, Kristin Ross und Slavoj iek.

Business, Economics & LawNovember 2019Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage
by Daniel H Olsen, Maximiliano E Korstanje
In recent years there has been a growth in both the practice and research of dark tourism; the phenomenon of visiting sites of tragedy or disaster. Expanding on this trend, this book examines dark tourism through the new lens of pilgrimage. It focuses on dark tourism sites as pilgrimage destinations, dark tourists as pilgrims, and pilgrimage as a form of dark tourism. Taking a broad definition of pilgrimage so as to consider aspects of both religious and non-religious travel that might be considered pilgrimage-like, it covers theories and histories of dark tourism and pilgrimage, pilgrimage to dark tourism sites, and experience design. A key resource for researchers and students of heritage, tourism and pilgrimage, this book will also be of great interest to those studying anthropology, religious studies and related social science subjects.

The ArtsJanuary 2019French cinema in the 1970s
The echoes of May
by Alison Smith
This book re-examines French cinema of the 1970s. It focuses on the debates which shook French cinema, and the calls for film-makers to rethink their manner of filming, subject matter and ideals in the immediate aftermath of the student revolution of May 1968. Alison Smith examines the effect of this re-thinking across the spectrum of French production, the rise of new genres and re-formulation of older ones. Chapters investigate political thrillers, historical films, new naturalism and Utopian fantasies, dealing with a wide variety of films. A particular concern is the extent to which film-makers' ideas and intentions are contained in or contradicted by their finished work, and the gradual change in these ideas over the decade. The final chapter is a detailed study of two directors who were deeply involved in the debates and events of the 70s, William Klein and Alain Tanner, here taken as exemplary spokesmen for those changing debates as their echoes reached the cinema.

June 2021Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie
Gehirn, Geist und Sprache
by Maxwell Bennett, Daniel C. Dennett, Peter Hacker, John R. Searle, Joachim Schulte, Daniel Robinson
Als der Neurowissenschaftler Maxwell Bennett und der Philosoph Peter Hacker den Klassiker Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience veröffentlichten, war dies die erste systematische Untersuchung der begrifflichen Grundlagen der Neurowissenschaften und der Startschuss für den bis heute intensiv geführten Kampf um die Deutungsmacht über den menschlichen Geist. Besonders kritisch fiel seinerzeit die Auseinandersetzung mit den einflussreichen Arbeiten von Daniel Dennett und John Searle aus – also mit jenen beiden Denkern, die von der neurowissenschaftlichen Seite gerne als philosophische Gewährsmänner herangezogen werden. In Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie diskutieren die vier kongenialen »Streithähne« miteinander.

The ArtsApril 2019Daniel Calparsoro
by Nuria Triana-Toribio, Ann Davies, Andy Willis
Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has made a crucial contribution to contemporary Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics. Reductively dismissed as a works of crude violence by those lamenting a 'lost golden age' of Spanish filmmaking, Calparsoro's films in fact reveal a more complex interaction with trends and traditions in both Spanish and Hollywood cinema. This book is the first full-length study of the director's work, from his early social-realist films set in the Basque Country to his later forays into the genres of the war and horror. It offers an in-depth film-by-film analysis while simultaneously exploring the director's position in the contemporary Spanish context, the tension between directors and critics and the question of national cinema in an area - the Basque Country - of heightened national and regional sensitivities.

Daniel Calparsoro, a director who has provided a crucial contribution to the contemporary scene in Spanish and Basque cinema, has provoked strong reactions from the critics.

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2021The Massacre at Paris
By Christopher Marlowe
by Martin White, Mathew R. Martin
This volume presents a modernised edition of Christopher Marlowe's critical engagement with one of the bloodiest and traumatic episodes of the French Wars of Religion, the wholesale massacre of French Huguenots in Paris in August, 1572. Sensorily shocking and intellectually gripping, the play's dramatic action spans a tumultuous two decades in French history to unfold for its audience the tragic consequences of religious fanaticism, power politics, and dynastic rivalry. Comprehensively introduced and containing full commentary notes, this edition opens up this frequently neglected but historically significant and dramatically powerful play to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the history of the massacre, the play's treatment of its sources, the play's dramatisation of trauma, and the play's exploration of notions of religious toleration.

Bin ich meines Bruders Hüter?
by Daniel Gelleri
Bin ich meines Bruders Hüter? von Daniel Gelleri BÜRGERKRIEG IN ISRAEL! Ist eines der mutigsten demokratischen Experimente fehlgeschlagen? Während die arabische Welt Genugtuung äußert, breitet sich in Europa und den USA Bestürzung aus. In dieser lebendig erzählten Geschichte zeichnet Daniel Gelleri, Autor des Erfolgromans Iris, das Leben von fünf Generationen einer jüdisch-israelischen Familie nach, deren Mitglieder die Hoffnungen und Träume ihrer Vorfahren teilen und gleichzeitig unter den Auseinandersetzungen, Alpträumen und Ängsten im heutigen Israel leiden. 150 Jahre nach der Geburt Isaak Isserlichs, dem Sproß einer prominenten osteuropäischen Rabbinerfamilie aus Krakau, bekämpfen sich seine Urenkel in den Jerusalemer Bergen. Sind diese blutigen Auseinandersetzungen ein Hinweis auf die nahende Apokalypse? Die israelische Regierung beschließt, sich auf die Grenzen des Jahres 1967 zurückzuziehen und löst damit eine große ideologische Kontroverse aus. Der ohnehin brüchige gesellschaftliche Konsens zerreißt. Was bisher nur hinter verschlossenen Türen debattiert wurde, eskaliert jetzt auf den Straßen jeder größeren Stadt Israels zum gewaltsamen Konflikt. Jede Seite besteht darauf, den Staat nach ihren Vorstellungen zu formen. Niemand ist bereit, nachzugeben und ein Alptraum wird wahr: BÜRGERKRIEG! In dem kleinen Land, dessen Bürger den zahlreichen äußeren Feinden fünfundsiebzig Jahre lang erfolgreich standgehalten haben, geschieht das Undenkbare: Der Feind kommt jetzt nicht von außen, sondern vom Inneren des Landes. Jede Seite kämpft für die eigene Wahrheit, den eigenen Glauben und die eigene Vision für Israel. Daniel Gelleri (geb. 1955) wuchs als säkularer Jude auf. Er kehrte sich mit fünfundzwanzig dem orthodoxen jüdischen Glauben zu. Mehrere Jahre lebte er mit seiner Familie in der Siedlung Bat Ayin im Westjordanland: Die Ermordung von Ministerpräsident Rabin durch einen orthodoxen Fanatiker erschütterte Gelleri so tief, daß er seinen Glauben einer erneuten Prüfung unterzog. Er kehrte der religiösen Welt den Rücken zu und nahm seinen früheren säkularen Lebensstil wieder auf. Er ist ein hochrangiger israelischer Reserveoffizier. Iris, sein erster kürzlich veröffentlichter erster Roman wurde ein großer Erfolg. Rechte für die deutsche Ausgabe und andere Sprachen sind noch erhältlich!

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017The French empire at War, 1940–1945
by Martin Thomas
The French empire at war draws on original research in France and Britain to investigate the history of the divided French empire - the Vichy and the Free French empires - during the Second World War. What emerges is a fascinating story. While it is clear that both the Vichy and Free French colonial authorities were only rarely masters of their own destiny during the war, preservation of limited imperial control served them both in different ways. The Vichy government exploited the empire in an effort to withstand German-Italian pressure for concessions in metropolitan France and it was key to its claim to be more than the mouthpiece of a defeated nation. For Free France too, the empire acquired a political and symbolic importance which far outweighed its material significance to the Gaullist war effort. As the war progressed, the Vichy empire lost ground to that of the Free French, something which has often been attributed to the attraction of the Gaullist mystique and the spirit of resistance in the colonies. In this radical new interpretation, Thomas argues that it was neither of these. The course of the war itself, and the initiatives of the major combatant powers, played the greatest part in the rise of the Gaullist empire and the demise of Vichy colonial control.

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2005Graham Swift
by Daniel Lea, Susan Williams
This book offers an accessible critical introduction to the work of Graham Swift, one of Britain's most significant contemporary authors. Through detailed readings of his novels and short stories from 'The Sweet Shop Owner' (1980) to 'The Light of Day' (2003), Daniel Lea lucidly addresses the key themes of history, loss, masculinity and ethical redemption, to present a fresh approach to Swift. This study proposes that one of the side-effects of modernity has been the destruction of traditional pathways of self and collective belief, leading to a loss of understanding between individuals about their duties to each other and to society. Swift's writing returns repeatedly to the question of what we can believe in when all the established markers of identity - family, community, gender, profession, history - have become destabilised. Lea suggests that Swift increasingly moves towards a notion of redemption through a lived ethical practice as the only means of finding solace in a world lacking a central symbolic authority. ;
