Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013The annals of St-Bertin
Ninth-century histories, volume I
by Janet L. Nelson
The Annals of St-Bertin, covering the years 830 to 882, are the main narrative source for the Carolingian world in the ninth century. This richly-annotated translation by a leading British specialist makes these Carolingian histories accessible in English for the first time, encouraging readers to reassess and evaluate a crucially formative period of European history. Produced in the 830s in the imperial palace of Louis the Pious, The Annals of St-Bertin were continued away from the Court, first by Bishop Prudentius of Troyes, then by the great scholar-politician Archbishop Hinemar of Rheims. The authors' distinctive voices and interests give the work a personal tone rarely found in medieval annals. They also contain uniquely detailed information on Carolingian politics, especially the reign of the West Frankish king, Charles the Bald (840-877). No other source offers so much evidence on the Continental activities of the Vikings. Janet L. Nelson offers in this volume both an entrée to a crucial Carolingian source and an introduction to the historical setting of teh Annals and possible ways of reading the evidence. The Annals of St-Bertin will be valuable reading for academics, research students and undergraduates in medieval history, archaeology and medieval languages. It will also fascinate any general reader with an interest in the development of European culture and society.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013The Black Death
by Rosemary Horrox
This series provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural, social and political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. Translations are accompanied by introductory and explanatory material and each volume includes a comprehensive guide to the sources' interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of recent research on the topics covered. From 1348 to 1350 Europe was devastated by an epidemic that left between a third and one half of the population dead. This source book traces, through contemporary writings, the calamitous impact of the Black Death in Europe, with a particular emphasis on its spread across England from 1348 to 1349. Rosemary Horrox surveys contemporary attempts to explain the plague, which was universally regarded as an expression of divine vengeance for the sins of humankind. Moralists all had their particular targets for criticism. However, this emphasis on divine chastisement did not preclude attempts to explain the plague in medical or scientific terms. Also, there was a widespread belief that human agencies had been involved, and such scapegoats as foreigners, the poor and Jews were all accused of poisoning wells. The final section of the book charts the social and psychological impact of the plague, and its effect on the late-medieval economy.

December 2023Verantwortung
Philosophische Grundlagentexte
by Christoph Halbig, Jörg Löschke, Philipp Schwind
Die Zuschreibung von Verantwortung für unsere Handlungen ist ein zentraler Bestandteil unserer moralischen Praxis. Aber sie wirft schwierige philosophische Fragen auf. Müssen wir beispielsweise über einen freien Willen verfügen, um für unsere Handlungen verantwortlich zu sein? Ist Verantwortung ein einheitliches Phänomen oder gibt es verschiedene Arten von Verantwortung? Und können wir nur für unsere Taten verantwortlich sein oder beispielsweise auch für unsere Überzeugungen? Der Band versammelt – zum Teil erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung – die zentralen Texte der philosophischen Debatte über Verantwortung, u. a. von Stephen Darwall, Harry G. Frankfurt, H. L. H. Hart, Thomas Nagel, Peter Strawson, Susan Wolf und Iris Marion Young.

Roman
by Marguerite Duras, Maria Dessauer
"Wie so oft schon in diesem Sommer, sie und er, beide bummeln sie über die Kais von Quillebeuf, später Nachmittag, Kirche, Hafeneinfahrt, Wald, das andere Ufer, der Ölhafen, in der Ferne die hohen Klippen von Le Havre, das rote Fährschiff, das den Fluß überquert, hier ist das Ende des Seinetals. Dann setzen sie sich auf die Terrasse des Hotel de la Marine, Mittelpunkt des Ortes, gegenüber der Anlegestelle des Fährschiffs. Sie betrachten einander, die Umgebung, den Sommer, die Touristen. Sie sieht »Koreaner«, die näher kommen, ihre Angst wird offenkundig; es ist das Lächeln, das ihr Angst macht. Sie gehen ins Cafe hinein, junge Leute vom Ort, Touristen, und an der Seite der Bar, die den Touristen vorbehalten ist, sitzt ein Paar »verschmolzen zu einer einzigen Farbe, einer einzigen Gestalt. Einem einzigen Alter«. Zusammengesunken, bewegungslos, müde. Aus England kommend. Das Schiff hat Motorschaden. Das ist aus dem Gespräch, das sie führen, zu entnehmen. Die Frau des Engländers ist merklich älter als er. Sie kommen wohl von weit her, von unermeßlich weit her. Sie scheinen am Ende der letzten Reise angelangt, am Ende des Lebens. »Da sind sie, in der dem Tod vorausgehenden Ergebenheit, diese uns ausgelieferten Reisenden.« Diese Nachmittagsstunden sind erfüllt von drei Liebesgeschichten. Die Frau, die erzählt, und ihr Begleiter befinden sich am Ende ihrer beider Geschichte. Sie, die ihn auf beängstigende Weise liebte, weiß, daß er sie längst verlassen wollte. Es geht in dieser kurzen Zeitspanne allenfalls noch um die bedächtige Frage, ob er sie denn, jemals, geliebt habe. Und er prophezeit, daß dieser Nachmittag und ihrer beider Geschichte in ein Buch eingehen werden, das sie schreiben werde."

November 2008Meines Vaters Liebling
Roman
by Carole L. Glickfeld, Mirjam Pressler
Der wichtigste Mann im Leben eines Mädchens ist – häufig genug – ihr Vater. Schwierig, wenn es sich dabei um einen launischen Patriarchen handelt, der auch vor Prügeln nicht zurückschreckt. Noch schwieriger, wenn man erst neun Jahre alt ist und sein erklärter Liebling. Wie weit würde man gehen, um die Familie – die älteren Geschwister, die strenge, aber fürsorgliche Mutter – vor dem eigenen Vater in Schutz zu nehmen? Ruthie Zimmer meistert ihre Kindheit in einem der weniger glamourösen Viertel Manhattans mit Intelligenz und wacher Neugierde. Zwanzig Jahre später, als erwachsene Frau, kehrt sie dorthin zurück und wagt sich an die Auseinandersetzung mit den alten Erinnerungen und mit ihrem schwierigen, geliebten Vater. Temperamentvoll und mit warmherzigem Humor erzählt Carole L. Glickfeld, die Autorin des Erfolgsromans Herzweh, von einer Familie im New York der fünfziger Jahre, vor allem aber von einer Beziehung zwischen Tochter und Vater, die trotz aller dramatischen Spannungen unauflöslich scheint.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2013Culture in Manchester
Institutions and urban change since 1850
by Janet Wolff
This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2013Writing otherwise
Experiments in cultural criticism
by Jackie Stacey, Janet Wolff
Writing otherwise is a collection of essays by established feminist and cultural critics interested in experimenting with new styles of expression. Leading figures in their field, such as Marianne Hirsch, Lynne Pearce, Griselda Pollock, Carol Smart, Jackie Stacey and Janet Wolff, all risk new ways of writing about themselves and their subjects. Aimed at both general and academic readers interested in how scholarly writing might be more innovative and creative, this collection introduces the personal, the poetic and the experimental into the frame of cultural criticism. This collection of essays is highly interdisciplinary and contributes to debates in sociology, history, anthropology, art history, cultural and media studies and gender studies. ;
