An examination of how exile and transnational solidarity decisively shaped the formation of a major populist movement in Peru.
Love and Space in Contemporary African Diasporic Women’s Writing
This book sets out to investigate how contemporary African diasporic women writers respond to the imbalances, pressures and crises of twenty-first-century globalization by querying the boundaries between two separate conceptual domains: love and space. The study breaks new ground by systematically bringing together critical love studies with research into the cultures of migration, diaspora and refuge. Examining a notable tendency among current black feminist writers, poets and performers to insist on the affective dimension of world-making, the book ponders strategies of reconfiguring postcolonial discourses. Indeed, the analyses of literary works and intermedia performances by Chimamanda Adichie, Zadie Smith, Helen Oyeyemi, Shailja Patel and Warsan Shire reveal an urge of moving beyond a familiar insistence on processes of alienation or rupture and towards a new, reparative emphasis on connection and intimacy – to imagine possible inhabitable worlds.
From Post-Yugoslavia to the Female Continent
This study of contemporary literature from the former Yugoslavia (Post-Yugoslavia) follows the ways in which the feminist writing of gender, body, sexuality, and social and cultural hierarchies brings to light the past of socialist Yugoslavia, its cultural and literary itineraries and its dissolution in the Yugoslav wars. The analysis also focuses on the particularities of different feminist writings, together with their picturing of possible futures. The title of the book suggests an attempt to interpret post-Yugoslav literature as feminist writing, but also a process of conceptualizing a post-Yugoslav literary field, in this study represented by contemporary fiction from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia.
Religion, Ethnonationalism, and Antisemitism in the Era of the Two World Wars
In the wake of the devastating First World War, leaders of the victorious powers reconfigured the European continent, resulting in new understandings of nation, state, and citizenship. Religious identity, symbols, and practice became tools for politicians and church leaders alike to appropriate as instruments to define national belonging, often to the detriment of those outside the faith tradition. Religion, Ethnonationalism, and Antisemitism in the Era of the Two World Wars places the interaction between religion and ethnonationalism – a particular articulation of nationalism based upon an imagined ethnic community – at the centre of its analysis, offering a new lens through which to an...

War and Genocide
In examining one of the defining events of the twentieth century, Doris L. Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, this revised, fourth edition discusses not only the persecution of Jews, but also other groups targeted by the Nazis: people with disabilities, Roma, queer people, Poles in leadership positions, Soviet POWs, and others deemed unwanted. In clear and eloquent prose, Bergen explores the two interconnected goals that drove the Nazi German program of conquest and genocide—purification of the so-called Aryan race and expansion of its living space—and invites readers to reflect on how the Holocaust connects to histories of violence around the world. Replete with firsthand accounts from victims, survivors, and eyewitnesses, this book is immediate, human, and eminently readable.

Figuren des Versagens
Merkur-Preis 2021 Die komparatistische Studie untersucht die Vorstellung des Versagens als eine Diskurs- und Denkgröße, die sich in westlichen kapitalistischen Gesellschaften erst in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts herauszubilden beginnt. Das ‚Versagen‘ hat seinen Ursprung im Feld der Technowissenschaften, greift um 1900 auf die Humanwissenschaften über und wird schließlich in Disziplinen wie der Psychoanalyse oder der Pädagogik mit der Dimension eines biographischen Fortschreitens verwoben. Das Buch zeigt anhand von Lektüren von Melville, Flaubert, Svevo und Kafka, wie die Kategorie des Versagens etwa zeitgleich auch in die Literatur einsinkt und dort sowohl gefestigt als...
