Zäsuren / Caesurae
Ein Sammelband zu Celans einzigem Israel-Besuch 1969 mit Beiträgen zu der Frage, wie diese »Wende« und »Zäsur« für sein Leben und Werk zu verstehen sind. Im Oktober 1969 besuchte Paul Celan Israel zum ersten und einzigen Mal und nannte diesen Besuch danach »eine Wende, eine Zäsur« in seinem Leben. Wie ist diese Zäsur zu verstehen, und was ist ihre Bedeutung für Celans Spätwerk? NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen und etablierte ForscherInnen im Bereich der internationalen Celan-Forschung gehen diesen Fragen nach und eröffnen neue Zugänge zu Celans Israel-Besuch sowie zu den Gedichten, die Celan nach der Rückkehr in Paris schrieb und die sich explizit auf diese Reise beziehen.

The Godman and the Sea
If scholars no longer necessarily find the essence and origins of what came to be known as Christianity in the personality of a historical figure known as Jesus of Nazareth, it nevertheless remains the case that the study of early Christianity is dominated by an assumption of the force of Jesus's personality on divergent communities. In The Godman and the Sea, Michael J. Thate shifts the terms of this study by focusing on the Gospel of Mark, which ends when Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome discover a few days after the crucifixion that Jesus's tomb has been opened but the corpse is not there. Unlike the other gospels, Mark does not include the resurrection, portraying ins...
Thresholds, Encounters
Paul Celan's works dwell on the threshold between the extremes of poetic expression and philosophical reflection. The divergent literary and critical idioms that have marked Celan's writing—and that Celan's writing has come to mark for others (Hamacher, Derrida, Szondi)—thus call for a new philology. This philology cannot be situated within presupposed genres or fields but rather explores the ways in which poetic and philosophical ambitions meet in texts by, and on, Celan. The first part of Thresholds, Encounters ("Ex-posing the Poem") speaks to issues of history, ecology, and aurality; the second part ("Language Dislodged") delves into Celan's articulations of encounter, positionality, and translation. Throughout, contributors probe the consequences of Celan's poetry for thinking and writing, while inviting readers from different disciplinary spaces to further pace out the liminal zones opened by his oeuvre.
The Archives of Critical Theory
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, in 1923, this book aims at shedding light on the archives of some of the key thinkers of Critical Theory of Society, also well known as “Frankfurt School”. To pay homage to this current of thought, this contributed volume aims to make the archives speak for themselves, to show the public the quantity of unpublished material still existing by the authors of the Critical Theory which are now in funds in different parts of the world (in Germany, in Italy, or in the United States), and to show that Critical Theory remains alive 100 years after its inception. The volume starts...
Lyric Orientations
In Lyric Orientations, Hannah Vandegrift Eldridge explores the power of lyric poetry to stir the social and emotional lives of human beings in the face of the ineffable nature of our mortality. She focuses on two German-speaking masters of lyric prose and poetry: Friedrich Hölderlin (1770–1843) and Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926). While Hölderlin and Rilke are stylistically very different, each believes in the power of poetic language to orient us as social beings in contexts that otherwise can be alienating. They likewise share the conviction that such alienation cannot be overcome once and for all in any universal event. Both argue that to deny the uncertainty created by the absence o...
Language and Negativity in European Modernism
Proposes that a distinct strain of literary modernism emerged in Europe in response to historical catastrophe.
A Politics of Emancipation
Despite his influence in utopian studies and democratic theory, French philosopher Miguel Abensour (1939–2017) has yet to be fully discovered in the English-speaking world as only a fraction of his work has been translated. A Politics of Emancipation fills this void by translating a selection of his seminal essays into English for the first time. The Reader provides a systematic overview of Abensour's work and the two inseparable projects that govern his approach to political theory: on the one hand, a radical critique of all forms of domination and, on the other, a desire to conceptualize the political as the realm of freedom and emancipation. For Abensour, both projects are to be undertaken together in order to avoid the double trap of an evacuation of conflict from politics and the reduction of politics to a form of domination. In other words, a politics of emancipation requires a "ruthless" critique of domination coupled with an analysis of politics as the domain within which human beings experience freedom and equality.
From Dilemma to Decision
Project management and business practitioners are often faced with a multitude of complex, multi-dimensional situations. While most practitioners and organizations are committed to doing what is right and honorable, the best path is not always clear. This book embraces a case study approach, providing practitioners with a valuable opportunity to prepare for complex scenarios before encountering them in the real world. The book takes a distinctive global perspective; the case studies within this book are thoughtfully curated by project management practitioners from diverse corners of the world. By providing this global perspective, this book not only equips practitioners with the tools needed for effective ethical decision-making internationally, but also fosters a deeper understanding of the global dynamics that shape modern project management and its business environment. Containing an extensive selection of case studies, this book is a very useful resource for teachers and learners, as well as Project Management Practitioners, and Business Executives and Leaders.
Speaking the Unspeakable in Postwar Germany
In this an interdisciplinary study of a diverse set of public speeches given by major literary and cultural figures in the 1950s and 1960s, Sonja Boos demonstrates that these speakers both facilitated and subverted the construction of a public discourse about the Holocaust in postwar West Germany.
Encounters with Paul Celan's Poetry
Encounters with Paul Celan's Poetry: The Other's Time consists of encounters: with poetry, with its readers, and with the other that poetry seeks to encounter. What does it mean, when Celan insists that every real encounter, every true encounter happens in memory of the poetic encounter, the secret of the encounter? This book presents close readings of various poems, often attempting textual and intellectual dialogue with philosophers who read Celan or who were read by Celan, such as Jacques Derrida, Werner Hamacher, Edmund Husserl, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty.
