Political Bodies and the Body Politic in J.M. Coetzee's Novels
J.M. Coetzee's novels can be considered a continued enterprise in figuring and varying the otherness of the human body, which, first and foremost, it comes forward in its vulnerability and pain. Coetzee's fiction offers an understanding that the body is a site upon which politics are played out and made manifest. Political Bodies and the Body Politic in J.M. Coetzee's Novels examines the various manifestations - ugliness, mutilation, cancer, etc. - with regard to the South African body politic. (Series: Transcultural Anglophone Studies - Vol. 3)
Interactions between Animals and Humans in Graeco-Roman Antiquity
The seventeen contributions to this volume, written by leading experts, show that animals and humans in Graeco-Roman antiquity are interconnected on a variety of different levels and that their encounters and interactions often result from their belonging to the same structures, ‘networks’ and communities or at least from finding themselves together in a certain setting, context or environment – wittingly or unwittingly. Papers explore the concrete categories of interaction between animals and humans that can be identified, in what contexts they occur, and what types of evidence can be productively used to examine the concept of interactions. Articles in this volume take into account literary, visual, and other types of evidence. A comprehensive research bibliography is also provided.
Alfred Döblin
Döblin’s texts, which range widely across contemporary discourses, are paradigms of the encounter between literary and scientific modernity. With their use of ‛Tatsachenphantasie’, they explode conventional language, seeking a new connection with the world of objects and things. This volume reassesses and reevaluates the uniquely interdisciplinary quality of Döblin’s interdiscursive, factually-inspired poetics by offering challenging new perspectives on key works. The volume analyses not only some of Döblin’s best-known novels and stories, but also neglected works including his early medical essays, political journalism and autobiographical texts. Other topics addressed are Döblin’s engagement with German history; his relation to medical discourse; his topography of Berlin; his aestheticisation of his own biography and his relation to other major writers such as Heine, Benn, Brecht and Sebald. With contributions in English and in German by scholars from Germany and the United Kingdom, the volume presents insights into Döblin that are of value to advanced researchers and to students alike.

Alter und Geschlecht
Was ist Alter? Wann beginnt es? Wie wird es geschlechtsspezifisch gedeutet und bewertet? Wie wird Alter(n) gesellschaftlich, kulturell und individuell wahrgenommen? Als Thema öffentlicher Debatten ist 'Alter' in den Medien allgegenwärtig: als Schreckbild einer alternden Gesellschaft, in der die Alterspyramide zum Pilz mutiert, oder als Wunschbild von kaufkräftigen Senioren in der Werbung. Kulturwissenschaftlich ist 'Alter' indes noch kaum differenziert. In diesem Band fragen Geistes- und SozialwissenschaftlerInnen sowie MedizinerInnen danach, wie sich Traum und Realität vom langen Leben auf der Ebene individueller Erfahrungen auswirken, wie sich dies in gesellschaftlichen Entwürfen äußert und in welchen kulturellen Bildern und Erzählungen 'Alter' vorgestellt wurde und wird.
