Words, Words, Words: Philology and Beyond
This Festschrift comprises a series of papers written in honour of the philologist Andreas Fischer, on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. As in Andreas Fischer's own research, the main focus of the volume is on words: words in modern varieties, such as emergent conjunctions in Australian, American and British English, words in their cultural and historical context, such as English keywords in Old Norse literature, and words in a diachronic perspective, such as Romance suffixation in the history of English. Many contributions are anchored in the philological tradition that has informed much of Andreas Fischer's own scholarship, such as the study of verbal duelling in the late thirteenth-century romance Kyng Alisaunder. Others examine the construction ofdiscourses, such as those surrounding the Black Death. The volume, with its innovative studies,offers fascinating insights into words, discourses,and their contexts, both past and present.

Der Katalog 'In der Wolle' zeigt Maschinen-Skulpturen von Andreas Fischer (geb. 1972). Aus vorgefundenen Materialien und Gegenständen baut Fischer mithilfe von Motoren und Mikroprozessoren bewegte und sprechende Skulpturen, die in ihrem neuen Verbund eigene Handlungsmotive und Funktionen erlangen. Fischers Mensch-Maschinen- Parodien konfrontieren den Betrachter mit existenziellen Fragen und zeigen die physischen und psychischen Zwänge und gesellschaftlichen Normen, die einerseits als notwendig für das soziale und kulturelle Gefüge gelten und gleichzeitig als sozialer und individueller Konfliktpunkt ausgemacht werden. Unermüdlich vollziehen die Maschinen ihre Mission: Sie müssen funktionieren, Pausen oder gar Stillstand sind nicht vorgesehen. 0Exhibition: Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany (30.11.2012-31.3.2013).

James Joyce in Zurich
This book offers a comprehensive account of James Joyce and Zurich, one of the four cities (including Dublin, Trieste and Paris) in which he spent significant parts of his life. As a refugee during World War I, Joyce wrote a substantial part of Ulysses in Zurich and subsequently visited the city regularly during the 1930s. Finally, a refugee for the second time, he died there on 13 January 1941 and is buried in Fluntern Cemetery. This guide is conceived both as a book that may be read in its entirety or consulted selectively for specific information. An introduction and three chapters, Joyce in Zurich, Zurich in Joyce and Zurich after Joyce, are followed by sixty alphabetically ordered articles on people, places, institutions and events relevant to Joyce during his time in Zurich. Linked by cross-references and an index, they provide a rich, kaleidoscopic view of Joyce’s Zurich.
