November 2009Bright Star
Die Geschichte von John Keats und Fanny Brawne
by John Keats, Adolf Girschick, Christa Schuenke, Wulf Teichmann, Jane Campion
Mit ihrem Oscar-gekrönten Meisterwerk Das Piano begeisterte Jane Campion ein Millionenpublikum. In ihrem Film Bright Star erzählt sie von der großen Liebe zwischen John Keats und Fanny Brawne. Es ist eine Liebe, die zum Scheitern verurteilt scheint: Zu groß sind die Unterschiede zwischen der Schneiderin und dem hochbegabten Dichter. Auch Fannys Mutter und Johns Mentor sind gegen die Verbindung. Meist voneinander getrennt, bleibt den Liebenden nur ihr inniger Briefwechsel, um einander nahe zu sein. Das Buch zum Film versammelt die Briefe von Keats an Fanny und die Gedichte, die er ihr widmete. In ihrem Vorwort erzählt Jane Campion die Geschichte dieser unvergänglichen Liebe. Farbige Fotos aus dem Film illustrieren den Band.

by Yaroslav Polishchuk
Flipping through the pages of the cultural history of Odesa in the 20th century, the author of the book analyses the frontier identity that developed in this peculiar city. In the first part of the book, the general processes that determined the cultural face of Odesa are analysed, in the second, portraits of prominent artists are presented - Volodymyr Zhabotynskyi, Petro Leshchenko, Mykhailo Zhuk, Boris Necherda, Boris Khersonskyi. Each of them in their own way embodied the image of the beach and sea city in its changing identity and constant charm. And if the above personalities are forgotten today, then we have a good opportunity to get to know and appreciate them more deeply, at the same time rethinking the phenomenon of Odesa in the 20th century.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2024Law across imperial borders
British consuls and colonial connections on China’s western frontiers, 1880-1943
by Emily Whewell
Law across imperial borders offers new perspectives on the complex legal connections between Britain's presence in Western China in the western frontier regions of Yunnan and Xinjiang, and the British colonies of Burma and India. Bringing together a transnational methodology with a social-legal focus, it demonstrates how inter-Asian mobility across frontiers shaped British authority in contested frontier regions of China. It examines the role of a range of actors who helped create, constitute and contest legal practice on the frontier-including consuls, indigenous elites and cultural mediators. The book will be of interest to historians of China, the British Empire in Asia and legal history.

The ArtsJanuary 2019From Perversion to Purity
The stardom of Catherine Deneuve
by Lisa Downing, Sue Harris
Catherine Deneuve is indisputably one of the world's most celebrated actresses, both in her native France and throughout the world. Her career has spanned five decades during which she has worked with the most significant of French auteurs, as well as forging partnerships with international directors such as Bunuel and Polanski. The Deneuve star persona has attained such iconic status that it can now symbolise the very essence of French womanhood and civic identity. In this wide-ranging and authoritative collection of essays by a selection of international film academics and writers, the Deneuve persona is scrutinised and illuminated. Beyond the glamorous iconographic status of Yves Saint Laurent's muse, and the epitome of sexual inviolability, Deneuve's status as actress is foregrounded. The book will be essential reading for students and lecturers in star studies.
