Bericht. Herbst 2008
by Rainald Goetz
Beck wurde rausgeschmissen am Schwielowsee, in Cern wurde der Teilchenbeschleuniger angestellt, und nachdem Damien Hirst in London seine Sensationsauktion glücklich (111 Millionen Pfund Erlös) hinter sich gebracht hatte, kollabierten noch am selben Tag in New York die in die dortigen Feuchtbiotope und Felsen hinein errichteten Banken: Lehman, Goldman, Partners und Konsorten. Das Wort Rettungsschirm kam auf, die Dinger wurden aufgespannt, die Kredite trotzdem immer fauler. Kreditkrise, Staatskrise, Vertrauen weg, Derivate angeblich hochspekulativ usw. Frage an den Staat: Hast du mal ein paar Millliarden? Herr Ackermann, Herr Mehdorn, der Schwarze Schwan im Herbst 2008; September, Oktober, November. Ja: Wie war das gleich noch mal gewesen? Wie hat sich das angefühlt? Loslabern erzählt in drei Kapiteln (1. Reise; 2. Herbstempfang 2008; 3. Der Jüngling) verschiedene Geschichten aus dieser grandios durchgeknallten Zeit. Das Ende vom Anfang des neuen Jahrtausends war plötzlich da.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2017Botany, sexuality and women's writing, 1760–1830
From modest shoot to forward plant
by Sam George
In this fascinating study, Samantha George explores the cultivation of the female mind and the feminised discourse of botanical literature in eighteenth-century Britain. In particular, she discusses British women's engagement with the Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus, and his unsettling discovery of plant sexuality. Previously ignored primary texts of an extraordinary nature are rescued from obscurity and assigned a proper place in the histories of science, eighteenth-century literature, and women's writing. The result is groundbreaking: the author explores nationality and sexuality debates in relation to botany and charts the appearance of a new literary stereotype, the sexually precocious female botanist. She uncovers an anonymous poem on Linnaean botany, handwritten in the eighteenth century, and subsequently traces the development of a new genre of women's writing - the botanical poem with scientific notes. The book is indispensable reading for all scholars of the eighteenth century, especially those interested in Romantic women's writing, or the relationship between literature and science.
